T. Rowe Price -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annual Report New Horizons Fund -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December 31, 2000 ================================================================================ REPORT HIGHLIGHTS ----------------- NEW HORIZONS FUND ----------------- * Formerly high-flying technology stocks reversed course and dragged nearly all major market indices into negative territory for 2000. * The fund suffered most in the second half (-11.21%) but closed down just 1.86% for the year. * Results were better than the Russell 2000 Growth Index for both periods a nd exceeded our Lipper peer average for the year but not the last six months. * Biotech holdings were the fund's best performers for the year, while most tech holdings were weak. * Recent high levels of volatility, particularly for high-growth stocks, could well persist until the economy's path becomes clear; longer term, we expect small-cap growth stocks to continue providing above-average returns. ================================================================================ UPDATES AVAILABLE ----------------- For updates on T. Rowe Price funds following the end of each calendar quarter, please see our Web site at www.troweprice.com. ================================================================================ FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS ------------------- Amid unprecedented volatility, stock prices fell in the second half of 2000, and most market indices ended the year in negative territory. The Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index fell 9.11% for the year, ending its unprecedented run of five consecutive years of better than 20% gains. Technology stocks, the market heroes of the late 1990s, reached unsustainable valuations early in the year and fell sharply from their March peaks, accounting for practically all of the declines in most market indices. A strong economic backdrop early in the year gave way to fears of a sharp slowdown as the year ended. Small-company stocks fared somewhat better than large for both the second half and full year, clearly outperforming large-caps for the first year since 1993. Small-caps entered 2000 much more reasonably valued than large-caps and thus held up better when the market tumbled. Small-cap technology stocks experienced huge declines in most cases, while many other small-cap sectors actually rose during the year.

PERFORMANCE COMPARISON ---------------------- Periods Ended 12/31/00 6 Months 12 Months ---------------------- -------- --------- New Horizons Fund -11.21% -1.86% Russell 2000 Growth Index -23.37 -22.43 Russell 2000 Index -5.88 -3.02 Lipper Small-Cap Fund Index -10.68 -6.59 S&P 500 Stock Index -8.72 -9.11 Your fund, which invests in the small-cap growth segment of the market, did not escape the downturn, declining 11.21% for the six months and 1.86% for the full year. However, the fund held up much better than the Russell 2000 Growth Index, as shown in the table, and finished well ahead of the average small-cap growth fund for the year. Our somewhat cautious stance on technology early in the year as well as our broad-based portfolio contributed to our relatively better results for the year. The fund's longer-term record continues to compare favorably with the small-cap market indices and the average small-cap mutual fund. For the 5- and 10-year periods ended December 31, 2000, the fund's cumulative returns were 77.53% and 468.74% respectively, compared with 63.36% and 323.51% for the Russell 2000 Index, 41.20% and 233.50% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index, and 72.43% and 336.11% for the Lipper Small-Cap Fund Index. YEAR-END DISTRIBUTIONS ---------------------- On December 12, 2000, your Board of Directors declared a short-term capital gain distribution of $0.62 per share and a long-term capital gain distribution of $2.52 per share to shareholders of record on that date. These were paid on December 14, 2000. You should have already received your check or statement reflecting these distri-butions as well as a Form 1099-DIV summarizing this information for 2000 tax purposes. MARKET ENVIRONMENT ------------------ The U.S. economy roared in like a lion in 2000 but exited like a lamb. Nevertheless, 2000 was the economy's tenth consecutive year of positive growth, an all-time record. The initial robust economic momentum resulted from strength in both the consumer and capital investment sectors. Record employment and surging consumer confidence, due in part to the strong financial markets of the previous five years, led to recordbreaking consumer spending on autos, housing, and other goods and services. A technology-led capital spending boom also contributed to the surging economy. Corporate earnings continued to rise at near-record, double-digit annual rates. Even inflation and interest rates remained benign in the first half, despite some pockets of labor shortages and surging energy prices. Increasing estimates of the federal budget surplus also fueled investor optimism early in the year.

The Fed may have sowed the seeds of the economic slowdown by raising the federal funds repeatedly between June 1999 and May 2000. More likely, economic and stock market expectations simply got too high and were bound to disappoint. Economic growth of 5% to 7%, corporate earnings gains of 20%, and annual stock returns of over 20% were unsustainable. The technology-led Nasdaq's second-quarter correction, a 37% peak-to-trough decline, was its sharpest fall since 1990, and a warning shot. The market bounced back over the summer months but then plummeted from September through year-end, once again with technology stocks leading the way. By year-end, most stock market indices, both large- and small-cap, showed single-digit declines, but the Nasdaq index fell 39%, giving back the bulk of its 86% rise in 1999. While the overall market peaked in March and technology stocks fell approximately 50% over the remainder of the year, non-technology sectors, specifically health care, financials, and energy, actually rose between March and year-end. The last 10 months of the year were a mirror image of the market of the preceding several years in other ways as well. Small-cap stocks outperformed large, and value stocks outperformed growth for the first time since 1993. Within the small-cap market, the implosion of technology stocks led to record underperformance of growth versus value, a reversal of 1999's record outperformance of the growth sector. SMALL-CAP STOCK RETURNS ----------------------- Periods Ended 12/31/00 6 Months 12 Months ---------------------- -------- --------- Russell 2000 Index -5.88% -3.02% Russell 2000 Growth Index -23.37 -22.43 Russell 2000 Value Index 16.04 22.83 Dizzying market volatility was a prominent feature of last year's market. The average daily move in the S&P 500 was over 1% while the Nasdaq Composite rose or fell close to 2% on average. An end to the record-breaking market advance, the abrupt change in market leadership away from technology, and the unprecedented volatility cooled investors' love affair with equities. While retail mutual fund inflows reached an all-time high in 2000, by year-end these had slowed to a trickle. PORTFOLIO REVIEW ---------------- Fund performance in the second half of 2000 was inversely related to weightings in the previously high-flying technology and telecommunications sectors. While technology was our largest sector weighting, entering the second half at 32% of net assets, the portfolio was more broadly diversified across all sectors of the small-cap growth universe than many similar funds. Top performers were broadly dispersed, coming from sectors including financial, consumer, business services, and energy. Almost all of the worst performers were technology issues, reversing the trend of recent years.

Despite the pervasive technology weakness, the fund's top performer for the six months was NetIQ, a computer software company, which rose nearly 50% in the second half. NetIQ, our largest holding at year-end, provides essential software enabling companies to monitor and optimize the performance of their Windows NT-based systems and applications. Several longtime computer service holdings, including Bisys and Affiliated Computer Services, were also top performers, rising better than 50% for the six months. Other leading gainers included adult education provider Apollo Group, dental and medical products distributor Henry Schein, mortgage insurer Radian Group, and automotive parts retailer O'Reilly Automotive. Eight of our 10 worst contributors in the last six months were technology issues. Semiconductor stocks, a core contributor to the fund's strong performance in the '90s, fell sharply in the second half as orders softened and end markets weakened. Altera, Lattice Semiconductor, and Cogenx were particularly weak. Media stocks were generally lackluster, reflecting a softening advertising environment. Direct TV franchisee Pegasus Communications fell sharply due to fears of a slowdown in new subscribers. SECTOR DIVERSIFICATION ---------------------- 12/31/99 6/30/00 12/31/00 -------- ------- -------- Financial 3% 3% 3% Health Care 15 17 19 Consumer 14 11 13 Technology 28 32 27 Business Services 32 27 27 Energy 3 4 7 Industrial 1 1 1 Reserves 4 5 3 -------- ------- -------- Total 100% 100% 100% For the full year, biotechnology stocks were the fund's standout performers. Many of our biotechnology holdings doubled in price during the year, including NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inhale Therapeutic Systems, and COR Therapeutics. Other groups making a significant contribution to the year's results include energy and consumer services, particularly education-related companies. Weak stocks were mostly technology-related, as was the case for the six months. We shifted our sector weightings somewhat over the course of the year, but most changes came from the sharply differing performance of market sectors. The biggest move was a reduction in our technology weighting from its peak of 32% at midyear to 27% at year-end. The weighting drop reflected underperformance, and we were actually a net buyer of technology stocks late in the year as the sector weakened. Business services holdings fell early in the year but were stable in the second half. Health care holdings rose, principally due to strong performance throughout the sector. Energy holdings also increased due to good performance and net additions during the year.

OUTLOOK ------- The U.S. economy enters 2001 with more uncertainty than at any time in the past decade. The question is no longer if the economy will slow down, but rather how much. Some Wall Street economists believe we have already entered a recession. Despite continued record employment levels, consumer spending has weakened across the board. Consumer confidence has plummeted, perhaps partly in response to the stock market downturn. The "wealth effect" from the bursting of the technology stock bubble may be working its way through the economy. Extended uncertainty through November and early December about the outcome of the presidential election also contributed to the erosion in consumer confidence. The Fed's rate hikes in the first half of 2000 may have helped slow the overheated economy, and many industrial sectors are experiencing sharp downturns. The number of corporate earnings shortfall announcements has surged in recent months, encompassing practically every major sector in the economy. ***************************** The stock market actually showed resiliency last year as numerous groups . . . rose while technology stocks faltered. ***************************** Probably the most telling signal confirming the downturn was the Fed's decision the first week of January to lower short-term interest rates in a rare interim meeting. Whether the Fed can engineer another soft landing, as in 1995, is the question. There are some encouraging signs, however. Employment remains robust, and, even if the unemployment rate rises somewhat, the consumer sector (two-thirds of the economy) is not likely to go into a free-fall. Investment spending on productivity-enhancing technology investments is unlikely to plummet; Wall Street growth expectations simply got carried away. Despite record increases in energy prices, inflation has remained surprisingly tame at close to 3%, and both short- and long-term interest rates are fairly low.

Overall stock market valuations are quite reasonable, with the median valuation of stocks in the S&P 500 at a price/earnings (P/E) ratio of 16. Surprisingly, despite the washout in technology, many leading tech companies continue to sell at extremely high valuations compared with the rest of the market. The stock market actually showed resiliency last year as numerous groups, such as health care, financial, and energy issues, rose while technology stocks faltered. The improved performance of the small-cap stock sector was also quite encouraging. Softness in some technology stocks continues, a hangover from last year's negative sentiment and Wall Street's still-too-optimistic earnings growth expectations. Your fund's average P/E and relative P/E compared with the S&P 500 remained well above recent levels at year-end (see page 7). The average 12-month forward P/E of the fund's portfolio was 31.1, and the relative P/E was 1.41, its highest since 1996. Technology and biotechnology valuations remain well above those in other sectors of the portfolio. Of course, growth prospects in these sectors are stronger as well. While the near-term outlook for the market and the fund is likely to remain volatile, we continue to believe that our well-diversified portfolio of vibrant small-cap growth companies will deliver above-average returns over time. Respectfully submitted, /s/ John H. Laporte President of the fund and chairman of its Investment Advisory Committee January 23, 2001 The committee chairman has day-to-day responsibility for managing the portfolio and works with committee members in developing and executing the fund's investment program. ================================================================================

T. Rowe Price New Horizons Fund ------------------------------- December 31, 2000 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ----------------------------- NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ---------------------------------------- T. Rowe Price New Horizons 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 June 3, 1960. The fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of small growth companies. The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Valuation 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. 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. 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. 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. Expenses paid indirectly reflect credits earned on daily uninvested cash balances at the custodian and are used to reduce the fund's custody charges. NOTE 2 - INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS -------------------------------- Purchases and sales of portfolio securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated $3,376,819,000 and $3,046,481,000 respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2000.
N-30D32nd Page of 43TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 32nd
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. Undistributed net investment income $ 34,563,000 Undistributed net realized gain (119,640,000) Paid-in-capital 85,077,000 In order for the fund's capital accounts and distributions to shareholders to reflect the tax character of certain transactions, the following reclassifications were made during the year ended December 31, 2000. The reclassifications relate primarily to a tax practice that treats a portion of the proceeds from each redemption of capital shares as a distribution of taxable net investment income and/or realized capital gain. The results of operations and net assets were not affected by the increases/(decreases) to these accounts. At December 31, 2000, the cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was substantially the same as for financial reporting and totaled $4,870,638,000. Net unrealized gain aggregated $1,400,025,000 at period-end, of which $2,319,575,000 related to appreciated investments and $919,550,000 to depreciated investments. NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS ----------------------------------- The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (the manager or Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group (Price Group). The investment management agreement between the fund and the manager provides for an annual investment management fee, of which $3,555,000 was payable at December 31, 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 cer-tain mutual funds sponsored by Price Group (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 December 31, 2000, 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 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 admin-istrative 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 $9,774,000 for the year ended December 31, 2000, of which $954,000 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 sponsored by Price Group, 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, 2000, totaled $21,205,000 and are reflected as interest income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Additionally, is one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Group (underlying funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds (Spectrum) may invest. Spectrum does not invest in the underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. Expenses associated with the operation of Spectrum are borne by each underlying fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by Spectrum, pursuant to special servicing agreements between and among Spectrum, the underlying funds, Price Associates, and, in the case of T. Rowe Price Spectrum International, T. Rowe Price International. Spectrum Growth Fund held approximately 10.1% of the outstanding shares of the fund at December 31, 2000. For the year then ended, the fund was allocated $1,579,000 of Spectrum expenses, $148,000 of which was payable at period-end. ================================================================================ T.
