                         GOVERNMENT SECURITIES PORTFOLIO

     During the period  September 1, 1995  through  January 31, 1996 the Federal
Reserve  eased  monetary on two  occasions  policy  citing  declining  inflation
expectations and moderating economic expansion.  However,  beginning in February
through to August 31, 1996 interest  rates have trended upward as the spectre of
inflation  overshadowed the fixed income market.  Fundamental  economic data has
often been conflicting causing erratic changes in interest rates.  Nevertheless,
Fed officials seem  comfortable  with core inflation and are unlikely to tighten
monetary policy over the near term.

     The Government  securities  portfolio assumed a defensive posture beginning
in  January  of 1996.  At times,  cash  levels  were  between  10-15% and longer
maturity bonds were  substituted by shorter  premium coupon issues.  As interest
rates  increased  during 1996 the funds average  weighted  maturity and duration
have been  reduced.  By August 31, 1996 the average  weighted  maturity  was 6.3
years and the duration of the portfolio was 4.2.

                               THE RBB FUND, INC.
                 ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT (CONCLUDED)
               MONEY MARKET AND MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIOS


     Although this summer's  weather  remained on the cool side, the debate over
Federal Reserve monetary policy became quite heated as the year  progressed.  By
early July, a majority of Fed watchers were  convinced that a rise in short-term
interest rates was imminent,  and pointed to July's strong  employment report as
evidence.  The only question seemed to be the size and timing of the Fed's move.
Would the Fed wait until its August meeting, or would they immediately raise the
funds rate 25 or 50 basis  points?  Certainly,  they  pointed  out,  the jump in
nonfarm payroll  (+700,000 jobs) and the spike in hourly earnings (+9 cents) was
cause  for  immediate  action  by the Fed to curb  the  economy  and  prevent  a
rekindling  of inflation.  However,  as has often  happened this year,  economic
reports that seemed to suggest  either a business  expansion or a slowdown  were
followed quite closely by reports that suggested otherwise. It seemed that after
the  winter's  government  shut  downs and  snowstorms,  the  predictability  of
economic numbers became a lost art in 1996.

     This same type of reversal of expectations occurred again in July following
the  strong  jobs  report.  Within  only a few weeks,  signs of slower  economic
activity  had  tempered  the  certainty  of a rate  hike,  and by the time  Alan
Greenspan spoke at his Humphrey-Hawkins  testimony, he speculated that, "looking
forward,  there are a number  of  reasons  to expect  demands  to  moderate  and
economic  activity to settle back toward a more  sustainable  pace in the months
ahead." The  Federal  Reserve's  forecast  for growth is  2.5%-2.75%  this year,
falling  to  1.75%-2.25%   next  year;  while  inflation  should  average  about
3.0%-3.25%  this year, and 2.75%-3.0% next year.  Greenspan's  remarks were very
well  received  by the  markets,  and stocks and bonds rose  sharply  into early
August. In addition,  the expectation of higher short-term  interest rates eased
considerably,  and by the time the Fed met on August 20, there was almost no one
in the "tighter" camp.

     Short-term  taxable interest rates have held steady at 5.25% (federal funds
rate) for the last two quarters.  The Federal Reserve's last move was on January
31, when they eased monetary policy to encourage economic growth, following news
of a very weak fourth  quarter 1995. At that time,  market  sentiment was biased
towards  additional  easings of monetary  policy and the short-term  yield curve
offered no  incentive  to extend.  By  mid-April,  however,  strong jobs reports
worried the markets  that the Fed would not only stop easing but might  consider
tightening.  In response,  the yield curve turned  positive and rewarded  longer
average  maturities with yield pick ups of 20-30 basis points.  The Money Market
and Government  portfolios  took  advantage of this  opportunity by moving their
maturities  to the  50-60  day  range.  For  much  of  the  last  two  quarters,
investments  of 3-12  months  have  outyielded  overnight  rates by 25-50  basis
points.

     In the short-term  municipal  market,  the usually  predictable  pattern of
seasonal influences was interrupted this year by the federal budget impasse last
winter,  the  possibility of changes to the tax code and volatility in the stock
and bond markets.  As in the taxable  market,  sentiment  leaned  towards higher
rates, but the short-term municipal yield curve remained stubbornly flat. Yields
on daily  demand  notes  fluctuated  widely  during  the  year,  between  2%-4%,
depending on the day,  month and level of supply  versus  demand.  In June,  for
example,  as supply  fell,  demand  notes rose to yields  over 4%, but as supply
reentered the market in July,  yields fell to 2.35%.  By the end of August,  New
York  City,  California  and  Texas  were all  settling  large new  issues.  The
Municipal  Portfolio took advantage of these new offerings to extend its average
weighted maturity to the 50-day range.

     As always, all the Fund's portfolios emphasized high quality securities and
highly liquid  structures,  in addition to providing  competitive daily returns.
Our credit  research  department  employs fifteen  professionals  to approve and
monitor  the  creditworthiness  of every  issue/issuer  in which the  portfolios
invest.  Finally, as of the date of this report,  there are a number of proposed
amendments to Rule 2a-7,  the  regulations  which govern money market  funds.The
anticipated  effective  date of October 3 has been  postponed by the SEC. We are
following the situation closely and will be reporting to you in the future about
the substance and timing of those changes.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 AUGUST 31, 1996

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, and currently has seventeen
investment   Portfolios,   three  of  which  are  included  in  these  financial
statements.

     The Fund has authorized capital of thirty billion shares of common stock of
which 12.35 billion are currently classified into sixty-six classes.  Each class
represents  an interest in one of seventeen  investment  portfolios of the Fund.
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 Family,  the n/i Family, and the Bradford Family. The RBB
Family  represents  interests  in three  portfolios,  which are  covered in this
report.

              A)  SECURITY   VALUATION  --  Government   Securities   Portfolio:
     Portfolio  securities for which market quotations are readily available are
     valued  at  market  value,  which is  currently  determined  using the last
     reported  sales  price.  If no sales are  reported,  as in the case of some
     securities traded over-the-counter,  portfolio securities are valued at the
     mean  between the last  reported  bid and asked  prices.  Corporate  bonds,
     tax-exempt  bonds and notes,  and  government  securities are valued on the
     basis of quotations  provided by an independent  pricing service which uses
     information  with respect to  transactions  on bonds,  quotations from bond
     dealers,   market   transactions  in  comparable   securities  and  various
     relationships   between   securities  in  determining   value.   Short-term
     obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost
     which approximates market value.

              Money Market  Portfolio  and  Municipal  Money  Market  Portfolio:
     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. These portfolios
     seek 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
     agent 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) DIVIDENDS  AND  DISTRIBUTIONS  TO  SHAREHOLDERS  --  Government
     Securities  Portfolio:  Dividends  from net  investment  income  from  each
     portfolio are declared and paid at least  monthly.  Money Market  Portfolio
     and Municipal Money Market Portfolio:  Dividends from net investment income
     are declared daily and paid monthly.  For all portfolios,  any net realized
     capital gains will be 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.
     These   differences   are   primarily   due  to  differing   treatments  of
     mortgage-backed securities.

              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.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                 AUGUST 31, 1996

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

              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 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
Corp.  ("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 each of the three  portfolios
described herein.

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

           PORTFOLIO                             ANNUAL RATE
  -----------------------      -------------------------------------------------
  Government Securities        .40% of first $250 million of net assets;
    Portfolio                  .35% of next $250 million of net assets;
                               and .30% of net assets in excess of $500 million.
  Money Market                 .45% of first $250 million of net assets;
    Portfolio                  .40% of next $250 million of net assets;
                               and .35% of net assets in excess of $500 million.
  Municipal Money Market       .35% of first $250 million of net assets;
    Portfolio                  .30% of next $250 million of net assets;
                               and .25% of net assets in excess of $500 million.

     PIMC may, at its  discretion,  voluntarily  waive all or any portion of its
advisory  fee for any of the  portfolios.  For  each  class of  shares  within a
respective portfolio,  the net advisory fee charged to each class is the same on
a relative basis. For the year ended August 31, 1996,  advisory fees and waivers
for each of the three investment portfolios were as follows:

     PNC Bank serves as the sub-advisor for the Money Market and Municipal Money
Market Portfolios.  The Government Securities Portfolio has no sub-advisor.  PNC
Bank, as sub-advisor,  receives a fee directly from PIMC, not the portfolios. 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, serves as each
class's transfer and disbursing agent.

                        TAX INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

In the twelve  months ended August 31, 1996 (the end of the Fund's fiscal year),
100%  of the  dividends  paid  by the  Municipal  Money  Market  Portfolio  were
exempt-interest  dividends  for  purposes of federal  income taxes and free from
such taxes.  However,  approximately  47% of such dividends was  attributable to
interest on private activity bonds which must be included in federal alternative
minimum  taxable  income for the purpose of  determining  liability  for federal
alternative minimum tax.

In  January  1997,  you will be  furnished  with a schedule  showing  the yearly
percentage  breakdown  by state or U.S.  possession  of the  source of  interest
earned by the Municipal Money Market Portfolio in 1996. It is suggested that you
consult your tax adviser  concerning the  applicability of state and local taxes
to dividends paid by the Fund during the year.
