Message From The President      THE RIVERFRONT FUNDS
 

 
Dear Shareholder:
 
I am pleased to present the Combined Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders of The Riverfront Funds. This Report covers the first half of the Funds’ current fiscal year, which is the six-month reporting period from January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000. Inside you will find an economic update from the Funds’ investment adviser, and the unaudited financial statements, which include the portfolio of investments.
 
The Financial Markets in Review
 
Over the first half of the year, a rising interest rate environment, inflation fears and concerns over excessive valuations created an extremely volatile environment for stocks. As a result, the stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 (“S&P 500”)*, produced a relatively flat return. The bond market, which produced modestly positive returns, continued to be influenced by the Federal Reserve Board’s (the “Fed”) short-term interest rate increases. The message from Chief Investment Officer C. Edwin Riley on the following page explains the Fed’s impact on the financial markets in greater detail.
 
A fund-by fund performance summary is as follows:
 
Riverfront Large Company Select Fund
 
The fund pursues long-term growth primarily, and income secondly, through a portfolio that at the end of the reporting period, included blue-chip stocks such as General Electric, Cisco Systems, EMC Corp., Wal-Mart and Intel. During the six-month reporting period, Investor A Shares produced a total return of (0.68%), or (5.16%) adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.5% sales charge, through a ($0.12) decrease in net asset value. Investor B Shares produced a total return of (1.05%), or (5.01%) adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.0% contingent deferred sales charge during the six-month reporting period, through a ($0.18) decrease in net asset value. Total fund assets totaled $116.7 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riverfront Balanced Fund
 
This fund invests in a strategic combination of three key financial markets: stocks, bonds and cash. At the end of the reporting period, 61% of the fund’s portfolio was invested in stocks, with the remainder invested in fix income securities. During the six-month reporting period, Investor A Shares produced a total return of 4.75%, or 0.05% adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.5% sales charge. Contributing to the total return were a $0.55 increase in net asset value and $0.08 per share in dividends. Investor B Shares produced a total return of 4.43%, or 0.43% adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.0% contingent deferred sales charge during the six-month reporting period. Contributing to the total return were a $0.59 increase in net asset value and $0.03 per share in dividends. The fund’s total assets reached $31.4 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riverfront Small Company Select Fund
 
The fund’s relatively aggressive portfolio of stocks issued by smaller companies recorded above average positive returns.** During the six-month reporting period, the fund’s Investor A Shares produced a total return of 17.22%, or 11.94% adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.5% sales charge, through a $1.97 increase in net asset value. During the six-month reporting period, the Investor B Shares produced a total return of 16.72%, or 12.72% adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.0% contingent deferred sales charge, through a $1.96 increase in net asset value. Total fund assets totaled $30.9 million at the end of the period.
 
Riverfront Income Equity Fund
 
This fund pursues income primarily, and capital appreciation secondly, through high-quality dividend-paying stocks that, at the end of the reporting period, included companies like Calpine, Citigroup, General Electric, Merrill Lynch and Pfizer. During the six-month reporting period, Investor A Shares produced a total return of 1.60%, or (2.98%) adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.5% sales charge. Contributing to the total return were a $0.18 increase in net asset value. Investor B Shares produced a total return of 1.22%, or (2.78%) adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.0% contingent deferred sales charge during the six-month reporting period. Contributing to the total return were a $0.14 increase in net asset value. Total fund assets reached $34 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riverfront U.S. Government Income Fund
 
The fund pursues income through a portfolio that, at the end of the reporting period, invested primarily in U.S. Treasury securities (10.6%), government agency securities (66.3%) and corporate bonds (17.2%). During the six-month reporting period Investor A Shares provided shareholders with dividends totaling $0.26 per share. The net asset value of the fund increased from $9.02 to $9.13. Through income and the increase in net asset value the fund produced a total return of 4.20%, or (0.54%) adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.5% sales charge. Investor B Shares provided shareholders with dividends totaling $0.22 per share during the six-month reporting period. The net asset value of the fund increased from $10.28 to $10.45. The fund produced a total return of 3.84%, or (0.23%) adjusted for the fund’s maximum 4.0% contingent deferred sales charge. Total fund assets reached $41 million at the end of the reporting period.
 
Riverfront U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund
 
Designed to provide you with a convenient way to earn daily income on your ready cash, the fund’s portfolio of U.S. government money market securities paid dividends totaling $0.03 per share, while maintaining a stable share value of $1.00.*** More than $152 million was at work in the fund at the end of the reporting period.
 
Thank you for pursuing your goals through The Riverfront Funds. We look forward to keeping you up-to-date on the details of your investment on a regular basis, and providing you with the highest level of service possible.
 
Sincerely,

Message From The Investment Adviser      THE RIVERFRONT FUNDS

Dear Shareholders,
 
The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) through its Federal Open Market Committee has continued to raise short-term interest rates in the first half of the year in an effort to slow the perceived excessive consumer spending. Over recent weeks we have observed the evidence that points to the Fed’s success as consumers have slowed their spending on big-ticket items. Only a few days preceding this letter, Chairman Greenspan alluded to the fact that the series of interest rate increases was over. We concur with Mr. Greenspan as we view the economy as slowing from a very robust level of activity. With the exception of the technology sector, the effort of the Fed appears to have taken hold. The consumer has been the real focus of the Fed, and the evidence is clear that high interest rates are having an effect. Retail sales increased by 0.5% in June and just 2.7% on an annual rate in the second quarter, versus an annual rate of 13.5% in the first quarter. Private sector payroll growth slowed to 110,000 in the second quarter compared to 206,000 in the first quarter. While much economic evidence is a bit technical and appears to be just a show of statistics, it is important to investors. Inflation is the most important ingredient to the direction of stock prices and if inflation were allowed to grow, share prices would suffer significantly. While the increase in consumer prices may appear marginal, the reversal of the downtrend in the late 1990’s is critical.
 
In the spring of last year, the Standard & Poor’s 500 (“S&P 500”)* was valued at 30 times earnings. In the subsequent twelve months inflation rose on an annual basis from 1.6% to 3.0%. As a result of this increase, the S&P 500’s valuation dropped to 23 times earnings. If it were not for extremely strong corporate earnings growth, up 18%, the market would have likely declined 10-20%. The combination of the decline in the price-to-earnings ratio and great earnings resulted in a modest 7.23% return from the S&P 500 index, for the year ended June 30, 2000.
 
Our forecast for the next twelve months includes slower corporate earnings growth (9%) and little change in the Consumer Price Index, approximately 2.5%. In our opinion, these variables, if correctly viewed, could allow for a 10-12% total return from the S&P 500 index. The S&P 500 declined 2.7% in the second quarter and is flat year to date on a total return basis. Within the S&P 500 only the Health Care, Utilities, Energy and Technology sectors posted positive results. The three poorest performing sectors were Basic Materials, -25.2%, Consumer Cyclicals, -19.1% and Communications Services, -15.4%. Generally the stock market continues to reward the shareholders of companies which possess above average revenue growth and earnings per share growth. Conversely, the market is punishing shareholders of companies which do not live up to expectations. We believe that these trends will continue.
 
On behalf of my associates at Provident Investment Advisors, thank you for your continued support and confidence.
 
Sincerely,
/s/ C. Edwin Riley, Jr.

THE RIVERFRONT FUNDS      JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED )
 
1.    Organization:
 
The Riverfront Funds, Inc. was organized on March 27, 1990, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Effective December 29, 1998, The Riverfront Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation, changed its form of organization from that of a Maryland corporation to an Ohio business trust by completing a reorganization with The Riverfront Funds, an Ohio business trust (the “Trust”), created for such purpose. The Trust is authorized to issue six series of shares of beneficial interest, without par value, representing interests in different portfolios of securities as follows: The Riverfront Large Company Select Fund, The Riverfront Balanced Fund, The Riverfront Small Company Select Fund, The Riverfront Income Equity Fund, The Riverfront U.S. Government Income Fund and The Riverfront U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund (each, a “Fund”; and collectively, the “Funds”).
 
The investment objective of the Large Company Select Fund is to seek long term growth of capital with current income as a secondary objective. The investment objective of the Balanced Fund is to seek long-term growth of capital with some current income as a secondary objective. The investment objective of the Small Company Select Fund is to seek capital growth. The investment objective of the Income Equity Fund is to seek a high level of investment income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective, through investment primarily in income-producing equity securities of U.S. issuers. The investment objective of the U.S. Government Income Fund is to seek a high level of current income, consistent with preservation of capital, by investing primarily in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities and in high quality fixed rate and adjustable rate mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities. The investment objective of the U.S. Government Secu rities Money Market Fund is to seek current income from U.S. government short-term securities while preserving capital and maintaining liquidity.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Sales of shares of the Funds may be made to customers of The Provident Bank (“Provident”) and its affiliates, to all accounts of correspondent banks of Provident and to the general public.
 
The Large Company Select Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Small Company Select Fund, the Income Equity Fund and the U.S. Government Income Fund (collectively, “the variable net asset value funds”) each offer two share classes: Investor A Shares and Investor B Shares. The U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund (the “money market fund”) offers only the Investor A Shares. Investor A Shares of the variable net asset value funds are subject to initial sales charges imposed at the time of purchase, in accordance with the Funds’ prospectus. Certain redemptions of the Investor B Shares of the variable net asset value funds made within seven years of purchase are subject to varying contingent deferred sales charges in accordance with the Funds’ prospectus. Investor B Shares, other than those purchased through reinvestment of dividends, convert automatically to Investor A Shares eight years after the date of their issuance. Investor B Shares purchased through dividend reinvestment are n ot subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Each share class has identical rights and privileges, except with respect to (i) distribution and shareholder services (12b-1) fees paid by each share class, (ii) voting rights on matters specifically affecting a single share class, and (iii) the exchange privileges.
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies:
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial

THE RIVERFRONT FUNDS      JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED )
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies, continued:

statements 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 income and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Securities Valuation:
 
Investments of the money market fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, discount or premium is amortized on a constant basis to the maturity of the security. In addition, the money market fund may not (a) purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 397 days unless such investment is subject to an appropriate demand feature, or (b) maintain a dollar-weighted-average fund maturity which exceeds 90 days, in each case calculated in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.
 
Investments in common and preferred stocks, corporate bonds, commercial paper and U.S. government securities of the variable net asset value funds are valued at their market values determined on the basis of the mean of the latest available bid and asked quotations as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time), or closing sale prices on the principal exchange (closing sales prices on the over-the-counter National Market System) in which such securities are normally traded. Municipal bonds are valued by using market quotations or independent services that use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investments in investment companies are valued at their net asset values as reported by such investment companies. Other securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under the supervision of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The differences between the cost and market values of investments held by the variable net asset value funds are reflected as either unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
 
Security Transactions and Related Income:
 
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
 
Repurchase Agreements:
 
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with financial institutions such as banks and broker/dealers which Provident, as investment adviser, deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by each Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying fund securities. The seller, under a repurchase agreement, is required to maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Securities subject to repurchase agreements are held by each Fund’s custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. Repurchase agreements are considered to be loans by the Funds under the 1940 Act.

THE RIVERFRONT FUNDS      JUNE 30, 2000 (UNAUDITED )
 
2.    Significant Accounting Policies, continued:
 
Dividends to Shareholders:
 
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the money market fund. Dividends from net investment income are declared and generally paid monthly for each variable net asset value fund with the exception of the Small Company Select Fund which declares and pays any dividends semiannually. Net investment losses incurred by a Fund are offset against Capital in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the extent that short-term gains are not available in a given year. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually for each of the Funds. Any taxable distributions declared in December and paid in January of the following fiscal year will be taxable to shareholders in the year declared. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders which exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income or distributions in excess of net realized gains. To the extent they exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.
 
 
Federal Taxes:
 
It is the Funds’ policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders; therefore, no Federal tax provision is required.
 
As of December 31, 1999, the following Funds had capital loss carryforwards for tax purposes which are available to offset future capital gains, if any:
 
Income Equity Fund      $6,151,025      Expires 2007
U.S. Government Income Fund      256,740      Expires 2003
U.S. Government Securities Money Market Fund      2,230      Expires 2006
 
Under current tax law, capital losses realized subsequent to October 31 of the current fiscal year may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The following deferred losses will be treated as arising on the first day of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000:
 
U.S. Government Income Fund      $32,204
 
Other:
 
Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged directly to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the Funds, generally on the basis of relative net assets. Fees paid under a Fund’s shareholder servicing or distribution plans are borne by the specific class of shares to which they apply.

Administration—Federated Services Company (“FServ”), under an Agreement for administrative Services with the Trust, provides the Funds with certain administrative personnel and services. The fee paid to FServ is equal to 0.17% of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
 
Distribution Services Fee—Edgewood Services, Inc., (“Distributor”) is the principal underwriter and distributor of the Trust. The Trust has adopted Distribution Plans (the “Plans”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the terms of the Plans, the Funds will compensate the Distributor from the net assets of the fund to finance activities intended to result in the sale of the Fund’s Investor A Shares and Investor B Shares. The Plans provide that the Funds may incur annual distribution expenses up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Investor A Shares and up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Investor B Shares to compensate the Distributor. The Distributor does not retain these amounts generally, but uses the fee to compensate investment professionals such as banks, broker/dealers, trust departments of banks, and registered investment advisers, for marketing activities (such as advertising, printing and dist ributing prospectuses, and providing incentives to investment professionals), to promote sales of Shares so that overall Fund assets are maintained or increased.
 
Shareholder Service Fee—Under the terms of a Shareholder Services Plan, the Funds may pay compensation, in an amount not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Investor A and B Shares, to banks and other financial institutions including Provident and its affiliates and the Distributor for providing shareholder services and maintaining shareholder accounts. As of June 30, 2000, there were no shareholder servicing agreements entered into on behalf of the Investor A or B Shares of any of the Funds.
 
Custodian, Fund Accounting and Recordkeeping Fees—Provident serves as custodian and fund accountant to the Funds. Under the terms of the Custodian, Fund Accounting and Recordkeeping Agreement, Provident is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each Fund.
 
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expenses—Provident serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent to the Trust. Under the terms of the Master Transfer and Recordkeeping Agreement, Provident is entitled to receive fees based on the number of shareholders of each Fund and to be reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses.
