THE BEDFORD FAMILY
THE RBB FUND, INC.
ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
Economic growth continued to slow during the second quarter as the impact
from the interest rate rise during 1994 worked its way through the system. The
most recent revision to second quarter real GDP growth was 1.1%, a dramatic
change from the 5.1% experienced in the fourth quarter of 1994 and the 2.7% in
the first quarter of the year.
While the Fed is concerned about the deceleration in growth, they cannot
overlook the 100 basis point decline in interest rates at the front end of the
yield curve that has occurred in 1995 and the possibility that it has
re-stimulated the economy. A reacceleration in consumer spending could
significantly reduce inventories and lead to a resumption in manufacturing
activity. In fact, there are several indications that economic growth may be
rekindling. Factory orders, durable goods orders, retail sales and housing all
rebounded in mid-summer. Existing home sales rose 4.7% while new home sales
jumped 19.9%, the largest increase since January 1992. Lastly, consumer
confidence remains relatively high, buoyed by a soaring stock market.
The year-long rise in short-term interest rates ended in July, when the Fed
lowered the federal funds rate from 6% to 5.75%. This reversal in monetary
policy was widely anticipated and represented the Fed's belief that
"inflationary pressures have receded enough to accommodate a modest adjustment
in monetary conditions." The Fed's move also helped to flatten the short end of
the yield curve, correcting a sharply inverted position where one day
investments offered the highest yields at 6%, while six-month investments were
sometimes lower by 50 basis points or more. The Fed did not ease policy again at
its August meeting, and it's uncertain that they will do so in September. The
Fund's taxable money market portfolio extended their maturities this year to be
positioned for declining short-term interest rates.
Although the technical factors that shape the rate cycle in the short-term
municipal money market remained largely in place, there were a number of issues
over the last year that created a higher than usual degree of uncertainty during
this period. The significant issues included the potential for imposition of new
regulations by the Securities and Exchange Commission, speculation about the
possibility of a flat tax, national sales tax, or other major changes in the tax
code, and, of course, the Orange County, California debacle. All of these
factors tended to argue in favor of increased caution on the part of portfolio
managers. In terms of portfolio strategy, this translated into an emphasis on
shorter average weighted maturities. In addition, underlying and reinforcing
this cautious policy was a string of interest rate increases by the Federal
Reserve that offered little incentive to extend maturities. Currently, as the
economic indicators have turned more mixed, the extent and direction of future
Fed policy moves has become the subject of much debate in the marketplace.
Average maturities of money market funds have been increasing recently, but it
remains to be seen whether or not the Federal Reserve has successfully
engineered a soft landing for the economy.
As the year enters its final quarter, the outlook for the economy is
improving and inflation remains subdued. A return to a long-term growth rate of
2.5%, coupled with low inflation pressures, should give the Fed enough comfort
to ease policy again before the end of the year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AUGUST 31,1995
NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund
was incorporated in Maryland on February 29, 1988.
The Fund has authorized capital of thirty billion shares of common stock of
which 12.2 billion shares are currently classified into sixty-one classes. Each
class represents an interest in one of seventeen investment portfolios of the
Fund, fifteen of which are currently in operation. The classes have been grouped
into fifteen separate "families", eight of which have begun investment
operations: the RBB Family, the BEA Family, the Sansom Street Family, the
Bedford Family, the Cash Preservation Family, the Janney Montgomery Scott Money
Funds, the Warburg Pincus Family, and the Bradford Family. The Bedford Family
represents interests in the four portfolios, one of which is covered in this
report.
A) SECURITY VALUATION -- Portfolio securities are valued under the
amortized cost method, which approximates current market value. Under this
method, securities are valued at cost when purchased and thereafter a
constant proportionate amortization of any discount or premium is recorded
until maturity of the security. Regular review and monitoring of the
valuation is performed in an attempt to avoid dilution or other unfair
results to shareholders. The Portfolio seeks to maintain net asset value
per share at $1.00.
B) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME -- Security
transactions are accounted for on the trade date. The cost of investments
sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both
financial reporting and income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on
the accrual basis. Certain expenses, principally distribution, transfer
agency and printing, are class specific expenses and vary by class.
Expenses not directly attributable to a specific portfolio or class are
allocated based on relative net assets of each portfolio and class,
respectively.
C) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment
income are declared daily and paid monthly. Any net realized capital gains
are distributed at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain
distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations
which may differ from generally accepted accounting principals.
D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for Federal taxes
as it is the Fund's intention to have each portfolio continue to qualify
for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment
companies under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite
distributions to its shareholders which will be sufficient to relieve it
from Federal income and excise taxes.
E) REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- Money market instruments may be
purchased subject to the seller's agreement to repurchase them at an agreed
upon date and price. The seller will be required on a daily basis to
maintain the value of the securities subject to the agreement at not less
than the repurchase price. The agreements are conditioned upon the
collateral being deposited under the Federal Reserve book-entry system or
with the Fund's custodian or a third party sub-custodian.
