SEMI-ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISER'S REPORT FEBRUARY 28, 2002 (UNAUDITED) U.S. gross domestic product declined 1.3% in the third quarter of 2001, as the September 11 tragedy exacerbated an already weak economy. Manufacturing was the most troubled sector last year, with an average monthly index reading of 43.9, a 19-year low. Rising unemployment was also a problem, as almost one million jobs were lost in the wake of September 11. As was the case earlier in 2001, the consumer's appetite to spend remained the one bright spot. To restore economic vitality, the Federal Reserve maintained a year-long policy of monetary ease. In 2001, the Fed reduced the federal funds rate eleven times, lowering the target rate from 6.50% to 1.75%, a forty year low. The Fed's actions were made easier by the continued good news on inflation. For the year, producer prices actually declined 1.8%, while consumer prices rose a mild 1.6%, helped by lower energy costs. Yields on money market securities moved lower in tandem with the Fed's rate cuts. Since the last easing in December 2001 overnight yields have traded near the federal funds rate of 1.75%, while one-year yields rose to 2.3% at year-end and to 2.45% by the end of February. The steepening of the money market yield curve in early 2002 reflected the growing sentiment in the market that an imminent economic recovery would cause rates to move higher in the second half of 2002. Short-term municipal yields declined during the last six months, generally paralleling the drop in taxable rates. However, the after-tax yield on municipals rose relative to taxables, increasing the attractiveness of municipals and the RBB Municipal Money Market Fund. RBB Municipal maintained a 60-day average weighted maturity for much of the period to maintain yield and lower reinvestment risk. The maturity was shortened to 40 days at the end of February, as RBB Municipal positioned for asset declines in March. The Fund ended February with assets of $147.4 million.

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 20.97 billion shares are currently classified into ninety-four classes. Each class represents an interest in one of fourteen investment portfolios of the Fund. The classes have been grouped into fourteen separate "families", eight of which have begun investment operations: the Bedford Family, the Sansom Street Family, the Cash Preservation Family, the Principal Family, the n/i numeric investors Family, the Boston Partners Family, the Bogle Family and the Schneider Family. The Bedford Family represents interests in one portfolio, which is 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, to ensure cost continues to approximate market value and 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, INVESTMENT INCOME, AND EXPENSES -- 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. Expenses incurred on behalf of a specific class, fund or fund family are charged directly to the class, fund or fund family (in proportion to net assets). Expenses incurred for all of the RBB families (such as trustee or professional fees) are charged to all funds in proportion to their net assets of the RBB funds. C) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Dividends from net investment income are declared daily, recorded on the ex-date 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. D) FEDERAL TAXES -- No provision is made for federal taxes. 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 fall 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. 11 THE BEDFORD FAMILY THE RBB FUND, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) FEBRUARY 28, 2002 (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) F) USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions 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 Corp.
