SEMI-ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT
United States government securities were a clear beneficiary of the global
financial turbulence that dominated the markets in the second half of 1998.
Propelled by a strong flight to safety, yields on short-term treasury and agency
obligations fell sharply. Three-month treasury bill yields, for example,
declined to as low as 3.65% in October, a drop of over 100 basis points in less
than six months. The reasons for such a strong rally were many. The financial
crisis that started a year ago in Asia spread to South America, Latin America
and Russia where a devaluation and default made the situation appear
particularly ominous. The rescue of a large U.S. based hedge fund in September
also weighed heavily on investor confidence. As the threat of economic recession
reaching the United States mounted, the Federal Reserve began an aggressive
campaign to add liquidity to the financial system. Between September 29 and
November 17, the Fed eased monetary policy three times, taking the federal funds
rate down to 4.75%. Encouraged by similar moves by other central banks, the
financial markets regained some measure of confidence by year-end. Treasury bill
yields rose to 4.5% and equity markets staged strong recoveries.
In addition to the strong rally in U.S. treasury obligations, the money
markets witnessed a flattening of the yield curve as sentiment shifted towards
an accommodative Fed that was willing to lower short-term interest rates to
protect U.S. economic interests. In response, the Money Market and Government
Obligations Money Market Portfolios sought to maintain moderately extended
portfolio maturities to cushion their yields against the likelihood of still
lower rates. Additionally, portfolio credit quality was given significant
emphasis as both foreign and domestic bank and financial service companies came
under intense ratings scrutiny. During the final quarter of the year, we
restricted quite a few bank and broker credits from our list of approved
securities. As of February 28, the Money Market Portfolio and the Government
Obligations Money Market Portfolio had assets of $2,430,807,411 and
$556,084,339, respectively.
In the short-term tax-exempt market, yields also trended lower, due in part
to the easing by the Fed but also due to generally lower new issue supply. As
rates declined, municipal issuers opted to switch from short-term money market
securities to longer-term debt issuance. The combination of lower supply and
increased demand, as municipal money market fund assets grew, dropped the
one-year Bond Buyer Note Index to 2.95%, versus 3.75% a year ago. The municipal
yield curve was frequently inverted during the period, and the Municipal Money
Market Portfolio maintained a high level of daily and weekly variable rate
demand notes to preserve yield and liquidity. At the end of February, the
Municipal Money Market Portfolio had assets of $272,481,826.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 1999
(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 19.83 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 fifteen separate "families", nine of
which have begun investment operations: the RBB Family, the Sansom Street
Family, the Bedford Family, the Cash Preservation Family, the Select Family, the
Janney Montgomery Scott Family, the n/i numeric investors Family, the Boston
Partners Family and the Schneider Family. The Bedford Family represents
interests in the three 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 among all of the portfolios or classes of the Fund based on
relative net assets of each portfolio.
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 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 there 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.

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
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, BlackRock Institutional
Management Corporation ("BIMC"), an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of PNC
Bank, serves as investment advisor for the three portfolios described herein.
For its advisory services, BIMC is entitled to receive the following fees,

BIMC may, at its discretion, voluntarily waive all or any portion of its
advisory fee for these 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 six months ended February 28, 1999, advisory fees and waivers for
