We, as members of management of the Money Market Portfolio
(hereafter referred to as the "Fund") are responsible for
complying with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of
Rule 17f-2, Custody of Investments by Registered Management
Investment Companies, of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  We
are also responsible for establishing and maintaining effective
internal controls over compliance with those requirements.  We
have performed an evaluation of the Fund's compliance with the
requirements of subsection (b) and (c) of Rule
17f-2 as of September 30, 2002, and from July 1, 2002 through
September 30, 2002.

Based on this evaluation, we assert that the Fund was in
compliance with the requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of
Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 as of
September 30, 2002, and from July 1, 2002 through September 30,
2002, with respect to securities reflected in the investment
account of the Fund.

                             Report of Independent Accountants

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

We have examined management's assertion, included in the
accompanying Management Statement Regarding Compliance with
Certain Provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, about
the Money Market Portfolio's (the "Fund") compliance with the
requirements of subsections (b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") as of September 30,
2002.  Management is responsible for the Fund's compliance with
those requirements.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion
on management's assertion about the Fund's compliance based on
our examination.

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation
standards established by the American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants and, accordingly, included examining, on a
test basis, evidence about the Fund's compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we
considered necessary in the circumstances.  Included among our
procedures were the following tests performed as of September 30,
2002, and with respect to agreement of security purchases and
sales, for the period from July 1, 2002 (the date of our last
examination), through September 30, 2002:


- Confirmation of all securities held by institutions in book
entry form, at the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, the
Depository Trust Company and Bankers Trust. For a sample of
securities on the safekeeping reports of PNC Bank, National
Association, we noted that the quantities and descriptions of
such securities listed on the safekeeping reports agreed with
the confirmations or that the discrepancies were resolved;

- Confirmation of all securities hypothecated, pledged, placed in
escrow, or out for transfer with brokers, pledgees and/or
transfer agents, or alternative procedures;

- Reconciliation of all such securities to the books and records
of the Fund and the Custodian, PNC Bank, National Association;

- Confirmation of all repurchase agreements with brokers/banks
and agreement of underlying collateral with the custodian
records or alternative procedures; and

- Agreement of one security purchase and one security sale or
maturity since our last report from the books and records of
the Fund to broker confirmations.

We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.  Our examination does not provide a legal
determination on the Fund's compliance with specified
requirements.

In our opinion, management's assertion that the Money Market
Portfolio was in compliance with the requirements of subsections
(b) and (c) of Rule 17f-2 of the Investment Company Act of 1940
as of September 30, 2002 with respect to securities reflected in
the investment account of the Fund is fairly stated, in all
material respects.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of the
Board of Directors, management, and the Securities and Exchange
Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by
anyone other than these specified parties.
