Manager’s Letter

Fellow Shareholders

In the past six months, global stock markets continued to recover from the depths of the financial crisis in late 2008 and 2009. They built on the gains realized during the first half of our 12-month reporting period. Most of the world’s developed economies expanded but at the slow pace that typically follows a major financial crisis. Economic growth rates in emerging markets outstripped those of the developed world. Developed market companies experienced a revenue rebound, cut their costs, and improved margins. Those firms serving the burgeoning emerging markets benefited from strong demand, which led to substantially better earnings compared with those from a year ago. Despite the improved financial markets and stronger corporate performance, investors remained apprehensive about large government fiscal deficits and central banks’ generally expansionary monetary policies.

The Overseas Stock Fund generated solid returns for the 6- and 12-month periods ended October 31, 2010. For the 12-month period, the portfolio outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index and the Lipper International Large-Cap Core Funds Average. For the six-month period, the fund’s return exceeded the MSCI EAFE Index and was in line with its Lipper peer group average.


Strong gains in the first and third quarters of 2010 generated most of the fund’s performance for the fiscal year. Developed countries continued their gradual recovery from the financial crisis, aided by the robust growth in trade with dynamic emerging markets. For the year, markets in all regions posted gains, but Japan’s results slipped in the second half due to the yen’s strong appreciation. The fund’s results reflect the continued stabilization of the global financial system, the developed world’s generally loose monetary policy, a steady but slow recovery in Europe and North America, and expanding emerging markets economies. Ever-increasing government debt levels—particularly in the U.S.—and talk of a currency war heightened investors’ concerns during the past six months and kept their appetite for risk at bay.

We believe our fundamental investment process will continue to serve the fund well. We remain committed to seeking investment opportunities in reasonably valued established, large-capitalization companies outside the U.S. that have growth potential and good prospects for appreciation. We focus our efforts primarily in developed market countries, while maintaining opportunistic exposure to emerging markets. Finally, our country and sector allocations are driven primarily by bottom-up stock selection but also are influenced by our assessment of fundamental macroeconomic prospects.

MARKET REVIEW

The world’s economic recovery from the financial crisis continued during the most recent six months, but growth rates between the developed and emerging markets diverged greatly. Economies in developed markets continued to expand at a sluggish pace, which is understandable during a period of deleveraging. Individuals, companies, and countries had piled on debt, and it is very difficult to generate high rates of economic growth while paying off obligations. In contrast, emerging markets, which had gone through a period of painful deleveraging in the 1990s, did not have to divert large amounts of resources to reduce debt and were able to continue their robust growth.

Regional market performance generally reflected the divergent economic performance. Latin America and the Pacific Rim excluding Japan generated the best returns for the 12-month period. Those regions benefited from favorable demographics and companies that sell commodities and products to fuel China’s torrid growth. European stocks posted solid gains in the most recent six-month period even though their home economies are growing at a much slower pace. These gains were based on a rebound in domestic demand, strong export gains, and low starting valuations. Japan’s expansion has been much more subdued. The yen’s appreciation, which curbed its exports and hurt corporate earnings, helped Japanese stock performance in U.S. dollars—the currency that ultimately matters to the fund’s shareholders.

When it comes to individual countries, market and economic performance diverged, illustrating that market appreciation is not as closely linked to economic growth as commonly believed. Stock prices depend on many other factors, including competitive trends and valuation. In the third quarter, for instance, France, Spain, and Portugal experienced outsized market gains even though their economies languished. Many Asian countries’ stock markets posted smaller advances than might have been expected from their high rates of economic growth.


The U.S. Federal Reserve’s highly accommodative monetary policy aided the recovery but also drove the U.S. dollar’s value sharply down against the euro and the yen. Currency valuations generated contentious discussions among the world’s trading countries. American and European officials complained about China’s deliberate efforts to keep its currency undervalued in order to maintain its export advantage, prompting the Chinese to issue their list of grievances against the developed countries. For U.S. investors, the weak dollar generally aided returns generated in non-U.S. markets. U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke’s latest round of quantitative easing is expected to further reduce the value of the dollar versus other currencies.

Corporate earnings during the period remained strong. Companies responded to the financial crisis by cutting costs, increasing workers’ productivity, and maintaining lean inventories. What they lacked was an increase in revenue. But revenues are now expanding as consumer and corporate confidence returns, albeit guardedly. When the global expansion hits its stride and corporate revenues return to healthy levels, earnings should be quite strong from this massive corporate restructuring. A number of metrics provided a favorable picture of valuation, a key component in our investment process. Asset-based and normalized (smoothing out the peaks and troughs) valuations in Japan and Europe remained appealing, in our view, and dividend yields, particularly in Europe, were very attractive.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

During the most recent six-month period, the portfolio generated solid returns from all regions and across most sectors. European stocks, which compose the bulk of the portfolio, performed well, particularly export-oriented companies. Asian holdings with exposure to China’s rapidly growing economy also generated good gains. Japanese stocks lagged, but our measured emerging markets allocation also produced good returns. Despite considerable appreciation, we were able to find a number of reasonably valued companies that reported solid earnings growth.

From a sector perspective, our consumer discretionary holdings did particularly well in the most recent six-month period as well as for the 12-month period. For the most recent six months, automobiles made the largest contribution to absolute performance, but we also got good results from media companies, multiline retailers, and auto component makers. Financials generally continued rebounding, but the lingering uncertainties kept sector performance modest. Financial institutions still carry favorable valuations, but future capital requirements and government regulations cloud the profit outlook. Commercial banks and real estate management and development companies were the sector leaders. Investors found telecommunication companies an attractive alternative to bonds thanks to their strong cash flows and attractive yields. Information technology lagged, which was somewhat of a surprise considering the generally strong sales and favorable product cycles.


The portfolio’s automobile holdings had a strong showing. Germany’s Volkswagen and BMW continued the solid performance that began earlier this year. Both companies are export oriented. Volkswagen makes fuel-efficient vehicles that are popular around the world, and BMW’s line of luxury autos sells well globally. We added Nissan Motor (Japan) to the portfolio during the past six months. We believe the company is well positioned in China, and its electric-powered vehicle initiative holds promise. Nissan shares were inexpensively valued in our view. (Please refer to the fund’s portfolio of investments for a detailed list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

We also got strong results from Umicore (Belgium), a materials company that supplies catalytic materials to automakers, and Wacker Chemie (Germany), which specializes in polysilicon and other chemical products used in a variety of applications from semiconductors to automobiles.


Other consumer-oriented companies that contributed to our results were French retailing companies Compagnie Financiere Richemont and PPR. Richemont’s collection of luxury brands—Cartier, Van Clef & Arpels, Mont Blanc, and Piaget—benefited from confident consumers’ renewed willingness to splurge, especially in emerging markets, which are responsible for more than half the company’s sales. PPR also delivered strong operating profits from its luxury and lifestyle brands, such as Gucci and Puma.


Our health care equipment and supplies holdings advanced smartly. Elekta (Sweden) had strong demand for its noninvasive, image-guided radiation theraphy machines, and Fresenius (Germany), which operates more than 2,700 dialysis centers in North America and Europe, posted double-digit gains in profits and boosted its outlook.

Considering the uncertain regulatory environment, our financial holdings did well. Nordic banks DNB Holdings (Norway) and Swedbank (Sweden) benefited from their countries’ solid fiscal positions, strong regulatory frameworks, and economic expansions. A number of our real estate-oriented companies also advanced. Unibail-Rodamco’s (France) higher gross rentals from its portfolio of prime European shopping centers helped the company post strong results so far this year. Soho China, a large commercial property developer in Shanghai and Beijing, continued to roll out well-received commercial projects in both cities. We took profits in long-held homebuilder China Overseas Land, which has appreciated considerably but now has reduced growth potential in our view, given its size and the government’s determination to cool the housing market.

A number of portfolio holdings disappointed. Semiconductor wafer maker SUMCO (Japan) had to contend with idle capacity and a deep-discount pricing environment. A few companies dominate the wafer business. We believe that once demand picks up, and the current overcapacity issues are resolved, SUMCO’s results will improve. Investors’ concerns about weak demand for LCD glass weighed on Nippon Electric Glass (Japan). We believe the cycle should turn, and the company’s results will brighten once volumes pick up next year. British homebuilder Persimmon also had to deal with a poor environment. This well-managed company is executing well within Britain’s weak housing market. We added to our position this period and expect this company to perform strongly once housing demand picks up. Although based in Hong Kong, Esprit Holdings is a European apparel company that sells through wholesale and retail channels. Its wholesale division suffered a blow after the financial collapse because retailers were unable to get the financing needed to stock their stores. The retail side of the company did well, and new management is working to return all divisions of the company to a growth trajectory.

We initiated a number of positions over the past six months. Parkson Retail (China), which owns department stores in China, is well placed to take advantage of China’s growing incomes and increasing domestic consumption. We also added Telecom Italia (Italy) to our telecommunications holdings to replace the less attractive France Telecom, which we eliminated. We believe that Telecom Italia is undervalued, generates a solid dividend, and is in the midst of a restructuring effort that should generate improved results.

INVESTMENT OUTLOOK

Global stock markets have snapped back from their low point a year and a half ago, and the question we face is whether the markets can advance from here. We see many reasons for optimism. Emerging markets are growing rapidly. They are also following responsible fiscal policies. The economies of developed markets are beginning to gain traction, but countries that sell to emerging markets are performing better than those that rely on domestic consumption.

Companies are in much better financial shape than they were. They have shed debt, otherwise strengthened their balance sheets, cut costs, and increased profit margins. We have seen strong earnings so far this year, and we believe that companies are poised to generate large profits once the global expansion picks up momentum. Despite the markets’ rally, valuations still appear reasonable.

Our optimism is tempered by the realization that we are living in abnormal times. Interest rates are extremely low in Europe, Japan, and the U.S., and global liquidity is extremely high but largely stuck in neutral. Businesses are not expanding, and unemployment in the developed world remains high. In response, the U.S. Federal Reserve has embarked on a program of quantitative easing—essentially printing dollars to buy U.S. Treasuries—to keep interest rates low, buoy asset values, and increase U.S. export competitiveness in order to encourage more economic growth. Government fiscal deficits—along with the costs of social welfare programs—continue to grow and are accelerating toward unsustainable levels in many developed countries. We have never witnessed a convergence of these conditions before. Many responsible observers are asking whether countries will be able to get their budgets under control. Shifting and generally increasing regulation is adding to the sense of uncertainty because we don’t yet know whether, or to what extent, the new regulatory regimes will discourage long-term, productive investment.

When times are abnormal and sentiment is uncertain, businesses and investors tend to cut back on their exposure to risk. Under the circumstances, strong fundamental research and skilled stock picking will be critical to investment success. Our goal remains to seek stocks with favorable combinations of growth and valuation—with solid earnings prospects, sound balance sheets, and sufficient cash flow to generate dividend payments to shareholders. We will maintain our determination and efforts to effectively employ our investment process and global resources to generate long-term gains for our shareholders.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTING

Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be riskier than more diversified funds. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting standards; and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Non-U.S. investments are also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

GLOSSARY

Lipper averages: The averages of available mutual fund performance returns for specified periods in defined categories as tracked by Lipper Inc.

MSCI EAFE Index: Widely accepted as the benchmark for international stock performance (EAFE refers to Europe, Australasia, and Far East). The index represents the major markets of the world.

Price/earnings (P/E) ratio: The price-to-earnings ratio shows the “multiple” of earnings at which a stock is selling. The P/E ratio is calculated by dividing a stock’s current price by its current earnings per share. A high multiple means that investors are optimistic about future growth and have bid up the stock’s price.





Performance and Expenses

GROWTH OF $10,000 

This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with benchmarks, which may include a broad-based market index and a peer group average or index. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns as well as mutual fund averages and indexes.








FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE 

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (“Actual”) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information in this line, together with your account balance, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (“Hypothetical”) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual small-account maintenance fee of $10, generally for accounts with less than $2,000 ($500 for UGMA/UTMA). The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $25,000 or more, accounts employing automatic investing, and IRAs and other retirement plan accounts that utilize a prototype plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price (although a separate custodial or administrative fee may apply to such accounts). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Overseas Stock Fund (the fund), a diversified, open-end management investment company, is one portfolio established by the corporation. The fund commenced operations on December 29, 2006. The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in the common stocks of non-U.S. companies.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require the use of estimates made by fund management. Fund management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale of securities.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Dividends received from mutual fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions are declared and paid annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are generally declared and paid by the fund annually.

Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.

Credits The fund earns credits on temporarily uninvested cash balances held at the custodian, which reduce the fund’s custody charges. Custody expense in the accompanying financial statements is presented before reduction for credits.

Redemption Fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are paid to the fund and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value per share.

In-Kind Redemptions In accordance with guidelines described in the fund’s prospectus, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). For financial reporting purposes, the fund recognizes a gain on in-kind redemptions to the extent the value of the distributed securities on the date of redemption exceeds the cost of those securities. Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the fund realized $12,081,000 of net gain on $35,074,000 of in-kind redemptions.

New Accounting Pronouncement On May 1, 2010, the fund adopted new accounting guidance that requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements in the financial statements. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.

NOTE 2 - VALUATION

The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value as defined by GAAP. The fund determines the values of its assets and liabilities and computes its net asset value per share at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the NYSE is open for business. Values in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments are as of October 29, 2010, the last business day in the fund’s fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. Some foreign markets were open between October 29 and the close of the reporting period on October 31, but any differences in values and foreign exchange rates subsequent to October 29 through October 31 were immaterial to the fund’s financial statements.

Valuation Methods Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. 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 are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities. Debt securities with remaining maturities of less than one year at the time of acquisition generally use amortized cost in local currency to approximate fair value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value or the fund holds a significant amount of such securities with remaining maturities of more than 60 days, the securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service.

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

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those financial instruments 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 the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the fund’s Board of Directors.

For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities may be adjusted under the circumstances described below. If the fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE. In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust closing prices to reflect fair value, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. A fund may also fair value securities in other situations, such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing prices and information to evaluate and/or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation process, the fund routinely compares closing prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices.

Valuation Inputs Various inputs are used to determine the value of the fund’s financial instruments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical financial instruments

Level 2 – observable inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs

Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the fund, and unobservable inputs reflect the fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level. For example, non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets generally are reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices because the fund evaluates and determines whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment, as described above. The following table summarizes the fund’s financial instruments, based on the inputs used to determine their values on October 31, 2010:


NOTE 3 - OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to 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.

Repurchase Agreements All repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. government securities. Collateral is in the possession of the fund’s custodian or, for tri-party agreements, the custodian designated by the agreement. Collateral is evaluated daily to ensure that its market value exceeds the delivery value of the repurchase agreements at maturity. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its value and a possible loss of income or value if the counterparty fails to perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Securities Lending The fund lends its securities to approved brokers to earn additional income. It receives as collateral cash and U.S. government securities valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Cash collateral is invested by the fund’s lending agent(s) in accordance with investment guidelines approved by fund management. 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 the securities or if collateral investments decline in value. Securities lending revenue recognized by the fund consists of earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower and compensation to the lending agent. In accordance with GAAP, investments made with cash collateral are reflected in the accompanying financial statements, but collateral received in the form of securities are not. On October 31, 2010, the value of loaned securities was $47,232,000 and cash collateral investments totaled $57,383,000.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities aggregated $861,844,000 and $529,622,000, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2010.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after filing of the tax return, but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to redemptions in kind. Reclassifications between income and gain relate primarily to the character of net currency losses. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the following reclassifications were recorded to reflect tax character; there was no impact on results of operations or net assets:


Distributions during the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009, totaled $46,706,000 and $41,487,000, respectively, and were characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes. At October 31, 2010, the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net assets were as follows:


The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the deferral of losses from wash sales for tax purposes. The fund intends to retain realized gains to the extent of available capital loss carryforwards. The fund’s unused capital loss carryforwards as of October 31, 2010, expire: $9,477,000 in fiscal 2015, $114,187,000 in fiscal 2016, $219,677,000 in fiscal 2017 and $36,014,000 in fiscal 2018.

NOTE 5 - FOREIGN TAXES

The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Acquisition of certain foreign currencies related to security transactions are also subject to tax. Additionally, capital gains realized by the fund upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. All taxes are computed in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law, and, to the extent permitted, capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Taxes attributable to income are accrued by the fund as a reduction of income. Taxes incurred on the purchase of foreign currencies are recorded as realized loss on foreign currency transactions. Current and deferred tax expense attributable to net capital gains is reflected as a component of realized and/or change in unrealized gain/loss on securities in the accompanying financial statements. At October 31, 2010, the fund had no deferred tax liability attributable to foreign securities and $200,000 of foreign capital loss carryforwards, all of which expire in 2016.

NOTE 6 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price International, Inc. (the manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), which is wholly owned by T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. The investment management agreement between the fund and the manager provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.35% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.285% for assets in excess of $220 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At October 31, 2010, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.30%.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates computes the daily share price and provides certain other administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested in the fund. For the year ended October 31, 2010, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $145,000 for Price Associates; $132,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $159,000 for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements.

Additionally, the fund is one of several mutual funds in which certain college savings plans managed by Price Associates may invest. As approved by the fund’s Board of Directors, shareholder servicing costs associated with each college savings plan are borne by the fund in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the college savings plan. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the fund was charged $198,000 for shareholder servicing costs related to the college savings plans, of which $159,000 was for services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. At October 31, 2010, approximately 4% of the outstanding shares of the fund were held by college savings plans.

The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds (Retirement Funds) may invest. The Retirement Funds do not invest in the underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. Pursuant to a special servicing agreement, expenses associated with the operation of the Retirement Funds are borne by each underlying Price fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Retirement Funds. Expenses allocated under this agreement are reflected as shareholder servicing expense in the accompanying financial statements. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the fund was allocated $3,919,000 of Retirement Funds’ expenses, of which $2,421,000 related to services provided by Price.

The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund and the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund (collectively, the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as cash management options to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates and/or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment management fees.

NOTE 7 - INTERFUND BORROWING PROGRAM

Pursuant to its prospectus, the fund may borrow up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. The manager has developed a program that provides temporary liquidity under an interfund borrowing agreement between the fund and other T. Rowe Price-sponsored mutual funds. The program permits the borrowing and lending of cash at rates beneficial to both the borrowing and lending funds. Pursuant to program guidelines, loans totaling 10% or more of a borrowing fund’s total assets require collateralization at 102% of the value of the loan; loans of less than 10% are unsecured. During the year ended October 31, 2010, the fund incurred $3,000 in interest expense related to outstanding borrowings on eight days in the average amount of $12,163,000 and at an average annual rate of 1.23%. At October 31, 2010, there were no borrowings outstanding.


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM  

To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. and
Shareholders of T. Rowe Price Overseas Stock Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of T. Rowe Price Overseas Stock Fund (one of the portfolios comprising T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2010, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the fiscal periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial 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 October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and confirmation of the underlying fund by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted.

    (2) No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $1,429,000 and $2,179,000, respectively.

(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
