                     THE JANNEY MONTGOMERY SCOTT MONEY FUNDS
                               THE RBB FUND, INC.
                       ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT

     One year ago, economic and financial crises around the world threatened the
continuation  of  the  eight-year  expansion  of  the  U.S.  economy.  With  the
assistance,  however,  of lower  interest  rates,  low  inflation and a consumer
driven  spending  spree,  the U.S.  economy  moved ahead at a brisk pace through
August of 1999.  First quarter gross  domestic  product (GDP) grew by 4.5%,  and
while the second quarter slipped to 1.6%,  estimates for the third quarter range
as high as 5%. During the same period,  price and wage pressures  remained tame.
The GDP deflator  reported a 1.4%  increase  through the first half of the year,
and consumer and wholesale prices for August showed moderate 2.3% increases on a
year-over-year  basis.  Energy costs,  in particular,  accounted for most of the
increases in CPI and PPI, as the price of oil reached $25 a barrel.

     With the threat of global turmoil behind them, the Federal Reserve began to
rescind its three monetary policy easings  effected last fall. Twice in the last
three months,  the Fed raised short-term  interest rates by a quarter point. The
current  federal  funds rate of 5.25%  should,  according to the Fed,  "markedly
diminish the risk of rising inflation."

     The Fed's tightenings had an immediate impact on the taxable money markets.
Overnight rates increased  commensurate with the Fed's moves, while longer-dated
securities with maturities out to one year experienced  larger gains. The result
was a steeper yield curve with yields on one-year obligations  exceeding 6%. The
Y2K factor also came into play this year.  Investments into January,  2000 often
carried  incentives of 40-50 basis points versus December,  1999 maturities,  as
investors sought extra liquidity for year-end  uncertainties.  The U.S. Treasury
and agency yield curves also steepened and the spreads  widened  between the two
sectors.  The Money  Market and  Government  Obligations  portfolios  maintained
moderately  extended  maturities  for most of the year as the  market  tended to
overvalue the magnitude of future Fed  tightenings.  This allowed the portfolios
to maintain a longer  positioning,  even in an environment  of rising rates.  On
August 31, the Money  Market  Portfolio  and the  Government  Obligations  Money
Market Portfolio had assets of $2,739,120,331 and $482,396,209, respectively.

     The  municipal  money  markets  also  experienced  the effects of the Fed's
efforts to slow the economy to a more sustainable pace. One-year municipal notes
rose to a 3.65% yield at the end of August versus yields under 3% early in 1999.
Variable  rate  obligations,  with one and  seven-day  puts used for  liquidity,
continued their pattern of trading in a range between 3-4% for most of the year.
Strong investor demand easily absorbed all new issuance during the period. While
total municipal  money fund assets  declined  slightly to $193 billion on August
31, that was up from $175 billion a year ago. On August 31,  assets in Municipal
Money Market  Portfolio and New York Municipal  Money Market  Portfolio stood at
$265,031,464 and $28,139,889, respectively.

     The Fund, like any business,  could be affected if the computer  systems on
which it relies do not  properly  process  information  beginning  on January 1,
2000.  While year 2000  issues  could have a  negative  effect on the Fund,  the
Fund's  investment  adviser is  currently  working to avoid such  problems.  The
Fund's  investment  adviser is also working  with other  systems  providers  and
vendors  servicing the Portfolios to determine their systems'  ability to handle
Year 2000  problems.  There is no  guarantee,  however,  that  systems will work
properly on or after  January 1, 2000.  Year 2000 problems may also hurt issuers
whose securities the Fund holds or securities markets generally.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of The RBB Fund, Inc.:

In our  opinion,  the  accompanying  statements  of net assets,  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
Money Market,  Municipal Money Market,  Government  Obligations Money Market and
New York Municipal Money Market Portfolios, separately managed portfolios of The
RBB Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), at August 31, 1999, the results of their operations
for the year then  ended,  the  changes  in their net assets for each of the two
years in the period then ended,  and the  financial  highlights  for each of the
periods presented,  in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
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  generally  accepted  auditing  standards,  which  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 August
31, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provides a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

                     THE JANNEY MONTGOMERY SCOTT MONEY FUNDS
                               THE RBB FUND, INC.
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 AUGUST 31, 1999

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 20.03 billion shares are currently  classified into ninety-seven  classes.
Each class represents an interest in one of sixteen investment portfolios of the
Fund. The classes have been grouped into sixteen  separate  "families",  nine of
which have begun investment operations: the Principal Family, the Select Family,
the Sansom Street Family, the Bedford Family, the Cash Preservation  Family, the
Janney Montgomery Scott Family,  the n/i numeric  investors  Family,  the Boston
Partners Family and the Schneider  Family.  The Janney  Montgomery  Scott Family
represents interests in four Portfolios, which are 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 to 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 plus accrued interest.  If the value of the
      underlying  securities falls below 102% of the value of the purchase price
      plus  accrued  interest,  the Fund will  require  the  seller  to  deposit
      additional collateral by the next Fund business day. In the event that the
      seller under the agreement defaults on its repurchase  obligation or fails
      to deposit  sufficient  collateral,  the Fund has the  contractual  right,
      subject to the requirements of applicable  bankruptcy and insolvency laws,
      to sell the  underlying  securities  and may claim any resulting loss from
      the seller.  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) NEW YORK MUNICIPAL  OBLIGATIONS -- Certain New York state and New
      York city  municipal  obligations  in the Portfolios may be obligations of
      issuers which rely in whole or in part on New York state or New York city

                                       23

      revenues, real property taxes, revenues from health care institutions,  or
      obligations  secured by  mortgages  on real  property.  Consequently,  the
      possible  effect of economic  conditions  in New York or of changes in New
      York regulations on these obligations must be considered.

            G) 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

has agreed to perform  Administration and Accounting  services for an annual fee
of .10% of the average net assets of the portfolios.

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

     Market Portfolio               103,567        (103,567)            --

     The  investment  advisor has agreed to  reimburse  each  portfolio  for the
amount,  if any, by which the net operating and management  expenses  exceed the
expense  cap. For the year ended August 31, 1999 the  reimbursed  expenses  were
$819,409, $102,998, and $221,397 for the Money Market Portfolio, Municipal Money
Market   Portfolio,   and  Government   Obligations   Money  Market   Portfolio,

In the twelve  months ended August 31, 1999 (the end of the Fund's fiscal year),
100% of the dividends paid by the Municipal  Money Market and New York Municipal
Money Market Portfolios were  exempt-interest  dividends for purposes of federal
income  taxes and free from such taxes.  However,  approximately  55% and 17% 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  2000,  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  and New York  Municipal  Money  Market
Portfolios in 1999. 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
