                     SEMI-ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT



     Investor  sentiment  reversed course during the last few months of 1995. In
the second half of the year,  investors  believed  that the Federal  Reserve had
successfully  engineered a "soft  landing" and  expected  President  Clinton and
Congress to agree on a plan that would  balance the federal  budget by 2002.  As
1996  began,  however,  fears of  recession  began to  re-emerge  and the budget
negotiations,  which had become very intense in December  and  January,  all but
disappeared as politics and state primaries took center stage.

     The lack of economic  data due to the  recently  ended  federal  government
shutdown  has  added  to  the  difficulty  of  assessing  the  current  economic
environment.It is clear,  however,  that the economy is not robust. While retail
sales over the past three months suggest that real consumer  spending  should be
growing at a 2.0-2.5% rate, the  manufacturing  economy continues to be weak, as
evidenced by the National  Association of Purchasing Managers' reading below 50.
But even this indicator has  stabilized,  suggesting  that  inventory  reduction
programs have run their course.  Nonetheless,  business  confidence remains high
and firms  continue to invest in producer  durable  goods such as computers  and
machine  tools.  Available  evidence  further  points to  continued  strength in
exports,  which are benefitting from the earlier low level of the dollar and the
high quality of  U.S.-produced  goods. The federal  government  remains the weak
link in a modest growth  forecast and the budget  impasse only  exacerbates  the
effect on U.S. output as the government buys fewer goods and services.

     The nation's weak economic  conditions  fostered a declining  interest rate
environment  for the  six-month  period ended  February  29,  1996.  During this
period,  the Federal  Reserve reduced the federal funds rate to 5.25% from 5.75%
and  the  discount  rate  to  5.00%  from  5.25%.   Volatile  market  conditions
dramatically  altered the shape of the yield curve (3-months to 30-years) from a
spread of 117  points on  September  1, 1995 to a  steepening  bias of 145 basis
points on February 29, 1996. As the treasury market rallied,  lowering the yield
on the long bond to 6%, yield  spreads on  mortgages  widened  initially  but by
February 29, spreads  narrowed below their  six-month  averages.  Overall,  this
sector  underperformed  as prepayments and duration  concerns  increased selling
pressure.  The corporate  sector  realized  excellent  returns as heavy investor
demand absorbed all new issuance plus strengthening  credit quality forced yield
spreads to tighten considerably.

     Taking all the sources of final demand together,  modest economic growth is
still the most likely  forecast -- 2.5% real GDP growth in 1996,  with the first
half of the  year  being  relatively  weak  and  the  second  half  of the  year
strengthening.  Even this modest  growth is going to require  some help from the
Fed. The Fed's two federal  funds rate cuts of 25 basis points each in 1995 were
not enough.  With the dramatic fall in long-term  interest rates, the flattening
of the yield  curve  through  1995 is a threat to the  economy  and  raises  the
specter of recession.  Some  steepening is necessary,  which would  indicate the
addition of liquidity to the system.  We expect that  steepening  to come from a
combination of lower  short-term  interest rates and slightly  higher  long-term
rates.

     Tax-exempt  money market funds  experienced  record  growth  during the six
months ended February 29, 1996.  Assets hit new all-time highs in each month and
ended the period at $134.7 billion, up $19.6 billion or 17% from last year. This
surge in assets can be  attributed to  uncertainty  over changes to the tax code
and flat tax proposals,  the Washington budget impasse,  new T+3 settlement rule
changes and an inverted yield curve.

     Investor  concerns about credit quality  created  enormous  demand for high
quality paper during the period. The pressure on the Japanese banking system, as
well as the ratings  downgrades on several  Japanese banks,  widened the spreads
between Japanese letters of credit and European or domestic letters of credit to
over 30 basis points.

     Tax-free money fund yields trended  upwards in the fourth quarter as supply
increased.  Yields hit a  six-month  peak at  year-end  due to  seasonal  window
dressing  pressures.  Weaker than expected economic reports and a lack of supply
caused yields to decline early in the new year.

                               THE RBB FUND, INC.
                  GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                FEBRUARY 29, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)

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  Bradford
Government  Obligations  Money  Market  Shares  represents  an  interest  in the
Government Obligations Money Market Portfolio, which is covered by 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 principles.

              D) FEDERAL  INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for Federal taxes
     as it is the Fund's intention to have the 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.

              F) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial  statements in
     conformity  with  generally   accepted   accounting   principles   requires
     management  to make  estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the  reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and
     liabilities  at the  date of the  financial  statements  and  the  reported
     amounts of  revenues  and  expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND RELATED PARTIES

     Pursuant to Investment Advisory  Agreements,  PNC Institutional  Management
Corporation  ("PIMC"),  a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Asset Management Group,
Inc.,  which  is in  turn  a  wholly  owned  subsidiary  of PNC  Bank,  National
Association  ("PNC  Bank"),  serves  as  investment  advisor  for the  portfolio
described  herein.  PNC  Bank  serves  as the  sub-advisor  for  the  Government
Obligations Money Market Portfolio.

     For its advisory services,  PIMC is entitled to receive the following fees,
computed daily and payable  monthly based on the  portfolio's  average daily net
assets:

                 .45% of first $250 million of net assets;
                 .40% of next $250 million of net assets;
                 .35% of net assets in excess of $500 million.

     PIMC may, at its  discretion,  voluntarily  waive all or any portion of its
advisory fee for this portfolio. For each class of shares within this portfolio,
the net advisory fee charged to each class is the same on a relative basis.  For
the six months  ended  February  29,  1996,  advisory  fees and  waivers for the
investment portfolio were as follows:

        $1,115,533               $(317,599)               $797,934

     PNC Bank,  as  sub-advisor,  receives a fee  directly  from  PIMC,  not the
portfolio.  In  addition,  PNC Bank serves as  custodian  for each of the Fund's
portfolios.  PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PNC Bank
Corp.,  serves as each class's transfer and dividend disbursing agent. PFPC may,
at its descretion,  voluntarily  waive all or any portion of its transfer agency
fees  for any  class of  shares.  For the six  months  ended  February  29,1996,
transfer  agency fees for each class of shares within the  investment  portfolio
were as follows:
