The U.S. economy finally showed signs of decelerating following an extended
period of robust growth. This environment led to significant volatility in both
the equity and corporate bond markets, especially for lower-quality bonds.
However, despite the recent turmoil, your fund posted solid results during the
six months ended November 30, 2000.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
------------------
The Federal Reserve's tight monetary policy since June 1999 has resulted in
slower economic growth both in the U.S. and abroad. In Japan export volumes are
declining and consumer demand remains weak. GDP growth in Europe and Latin
America seems to have slowed in the third quarter. Mounting evidence of economic
moderation plus ongoing retrenchment in the financial markets have fueled hopes
that the Fed's next move could be a shift to lower short-term rates in early
2001.

Corporations have responded to the prospect of slower growth by reducing
debt and fortifying their balance sheets to improve creditworthiness. This is a
sharp reversal from the environment of the past few years where debt was
aggressively employed at any cost. Corporations financed rapid earnings growth
by investing in new technologies to improve productivity, to build economies of
scale, and by repurchasing shares to bolster share prices. Today, reducing debt
is back in vogue as access to capital has become more restrictive and the
ability to finance a high debt load is showing signs of weakening.
Borrowing costs have increased
------------------------------
The move to reduce debt was spurred by the shrinking availability of
capital to marginal borrowers and an increase in the cost of capital for
high-quality corporations. This has created a difficult backdrop for corporate
bonds. Lower-quality bonds, including BBB, split-rated (those rated BBB and BB
by different rating agencies), and high yield (below BBB) were generally weak
during the period. However, prices of U.S. Treasuries rose and yields declined
during the past six months, especially for intermediate maturities. Thirty-year
Treasury yields fell from 6.01% six months ago to 5.61% at the end of November,
while two-year note yields dropped from 6.67% to 5.61%.
During the past few years, corporate borrowers enjoyed access to a
seemingly endless stream of low-cost financing, courtesy of both the public and
private capital markets. Many questionable business models, as well as complete
sectors of the economy, were overfunded, resulting in excess capacity and severe
price competition. A clear example of this is in the consumer long-distance
sector where overfunding resulted in cutthroat pricing for long-distance calls.
Consumers have clearly benefited while the service providers are finding it
increasingly difficult to earn a reasonable return on invested capital.
<PAGE>
Volatile markets have produced attractive opportunities
-------------------------------------------------------
The uncertainties associated with this environment tend to increase
volatility and trigger investor demand for higher yields to compensate for their
risk, particularly on lower-quality bonds. As a result, during the past 6- and
12-month periods, single B, split-rated, and BBB bonds underperformed their
high-grade (AAA and AA) counterparts.
As is often the case when investor confidence starts to fade, market
volatility tends to rise and asset prices decline. In many instances risk
premiums rise on even the best corporate credits in sympathy with the rest of
the market, resulting in attractive investment opportunities for the long-term
investor. We feel we are at the beginning of such a period and remain confident
in our ability to identify such opportunities for our shareholders.
PERFORMANCE AND STRATEGY REVIEW

Corporate Income Fund 6.08% 6.00%
Lehman Brothers Baa
U.S. Credit Index 6.64 5.32
Lipper Corporate Debt
BBB Funds Average 6.06 5.63
Your fund posted strong results for the six months ended November 30, 2000,
that were in line with the Lipper peer group but below the Lehman Baa U.S.
Credit Index (the name was recently changed from the Lehman Baa Corporate Bond
Index). Returns for the 12-month period reflected flat performance during the
previous six months but surpassed both benchmarks. The fund's net asset value
rose from $8.80 last May to $8.99 at the end of November, while dividends per
share remained constant at $0.34. We overweighted lower-quality corporate bonds,
which lagged Treasury and higher-grade corporate securities, and maintained a
neutral duration versus the benchmark. (Duration is a measure of a fund's
sensitivity to changes in interest rates. For example, a fund with a duration of
five years would fall or rise about 5% in price in response to a
one-percentage-point rise or fall in interest rates.)

Our convertible preferred securities preformed remarkably well through
October. However, with the sharp stock market decline in November, some of our
largest investments, including Liberty Media/Sprint PCS, Media One/Vodafone PLC,
and Global Crossing, also fell in price. The yields on these investments remain
attractive and offer protection against further price declines, in our view.
They also provide an opportunity for potential long-term appreciation. As equity
prices dropped, we selectively added to some convertible positions including
Media One, Liberty Media, and Sovereign Bancorp. The bulk of the portfolio
performed quite well relative to the benchmarks, leading to so lid six-month
performance in a difficult environment.
Positioning the portfolio for the months ahead
----------------------------------------------
Given the uncertain outlook for global economic growth and the length of
time required for borrowers to fortify their balance sheets, we expect the risk
premiums on lower-quality securities to remain high by historical standards over
the near term. Accordingly, we positioned the portfolio more defensively by
selling some corporate bonds and investing the proceeds in U.S. Treasury and
agency obligations. In addition, we extended the duration of the portfolio based
on our outlook for lower interest rates and higher bond prices over the next six
months.
OUTLOOK
-------
During the coming year, we expect the Fed to lower rates enough to assure
that the U.S. economy continues to grow at a sustainable rate. The U.S. Treasury
yield curve should continue to normalize with short-term rates falling below
long-term rates, and the difference in yields between low- and high-quality
bonds should begin to decline as investor confidence in the economy and
corporate creditworthiness is restored. This type of environment bodes well for
corporate bond investors. The fund should be in a position to benefit from the
changes we see falling into place, and we remain optimistic about its long-term
prospects.
Thank you for investing with T. Rowe Price.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
-----------------------------
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
----------------------------------------
T. Rowe Price Corporate Income 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 October 31, 1995. The fund seeks
to provide high income and some capital growth.
The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of estimates
made by fund management.
Valuation Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter
market. Investments in securities are stated at fair value as furnished by
dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing
service, which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon,
maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such
securities.
Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange are
valued at the last quoted sales price at the time the valuations are made. A
security that 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.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per
share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. Financial futures contracts
are valued at closing settlement prices. Financial futures contracts are valued
at closing settlement prices.
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.
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>
In November, 2000, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
issued a revised Audit and Accounting GuideNAudits of Investment Companies (the
guide), which will be adopted by the fund as of June 1, 2001. The guide requires
all premiums and discounts on debt securities to be amortized, and gain/loss on
paydowns of MBS to be accounted for as interest income. Upon adoption, the fund
will adjust the cost of its debt securities, and corresponding unrealized
gain/loss thereon, in the amount of the cumulative amortization that would have
been recognized had amortization been in effect from the purchase date of each
holding. This adjustment will have no effect on the fund's net assets or results
of operations.
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 net investment income and realized gains
determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Credit
earned on daily uninvested cash balances at the custodian are used to reduce the
fund's custody charges. Payments ("variation margin") made or received by the
fund to settle the daily fluctuations in the value of futures contracts are
recorded as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed.
Unrealized gains and losses on futures contracts are included in Other assets
and Other liabilities, and in Change in net unrealized gain or loss in the
accompanying financial statements.
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.
Noninvestment-Grade Debt Securities At November 30, 2000, approximately 22%
of the fund's net assets were invested in noninvestment-grade debt securities,
commonly referred to as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds. A real or perceived
economic downturn or higher interest rates could adversely affect the liquidity
or value, or both, of such securities because such events could lessen the
ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments.
Futures Contracts During the six months ended November 30, 2000, the fund
was a party to futures contracts, which provide for the future sale by one party
and purchase by another of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument
at an agreed upon price, date, time, and place. Risks arise from possible
illiquidity of the futures market and from movements in security values.
Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term
and U.S. government securities, aggregated $16,422,000 and $12,511,000,
respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2000. Purchases and sales of
U.S. government securities aggregated $6,688,000 and $5,901,000, respectively,
for the six months ended November 30, 2000.
<PAGE>
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. As of May 31, 2000, the fund had $3,799,000 of capital loss
carryforwards, $815,000 of which expires in 2007, and $2,984,000 in 2008. The
fund intends to retain gains realized in future periods that may be offset by
available capital loss carryforwards.
At November 30, 2000, the cost of investments for federal income tax
purposes was substantially the same as for financial reporting and totaled
$49,478,000. Net unrealized loss aggregated $1,025,000 at period-end, of which
$723,000 related to appreciated investments and $1,748,000 to depreciated
investments.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
-----------------------------------
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the manager or Price
Associates). The investment management agreement between the fund and the
manager provides for an annual investment management fee, of which $9,000 was
payable at November 30, 2000. 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 T. Rowe Price 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 November 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.
Under the terms of the investment management agreement, the manager is
required to bear any expenses through May 31, 2001, which would cause the fund's
ratio of total expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.80%. Thereafter,
through May 31, 2003, 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 total
expenses to average net assets to exceed 0.80%. Pursuant to this agreement,
$64,000 of management fees were not accrued by the fund for the six months ended
November 30, 2000. At November 30, 2000, unaccrued fees in the amount of
$320,000 remain subject to reimbursement by the fund through May 31, 2001, and
$185,000 through May 31, 2003.
<PAGE>
In addition, the fund has entered into agreements with Price Associates and
two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates, pursuant to which the fund
receives certain other services. Price Associates 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 $84,000 for the six months ended
November 30, 2000, of which $16,000 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 Price Associates. The Reserve Funds are offered as cash management
options only to mutual funds and other accounts managed by Price Associates or
T. Rowe Price International, 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, 2000, totaled $45,000 and are
reflected as interest income in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
