BRADFORD & CO. (LOGO) [GRAPHIC OMITTED] MEMBER NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE INC. Semi-Annual Report February 29, 1996 BRADFORD MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET SHARES THE RBB FUND, INC. SEMI-ANNUAL INVESTMENT ADVISOR'S REPORT Investor sentiment reversed course during the last few months of 1995. In the second half of the year, investors believed that the Federal Reserve had successfully engineered a "soft landing" and expected President Clinton and Congress to agree on a plan that would balance the federal budget by 2002. As 1996 began, however, fears of recession began to re-emerge and the budget negotiations, which had become very intense in December and January, all but disappeared as politics and state primaries took center stage. The lack of economic data due to the recently ended federal government shutdown has added to the difficulty of assessing the current economic environment.It is clear, however, that the economy is not robust. While retail sales over the past three months suggest that real consumer spending should be growing at a 2.0-2.5% rate, the manufacturing economy continues to be weak, as evidenced by the National Association of Purchasing Managers' reading below 50. But even this indicator has stabilized, suggesting that inventory reduction programs have run their course. Nonetheless, business confidence remains high and firms continue to invest in producer durable goods such as computers and machine tools. Available evidence further points to continued strength in exports, which are benefitting from the earlier low level of the dollar and the high quality of U.S.-produced goods. The federal government remains the weak link in a modest growth forecast and the budget impasse only exacerbates the effect on U.S. output as the government buys fewer goods and services. The nation's weak economic conditions fostered a declining interest rate environment for the six-month period ended February 29, 1996. During this period, the Federal Reserve reduced the federal funds rate to 5.25% from 5.75% and the discount rate to 5.00% from 5.25%. Volatile market conditions dramatically altered the shape of the yield curve (3-months to 30-years) from a spread of 117 points on September 1, 1995 to a steepening bias of 145 basis points on February 29, 1996. As the treasury market rallied, lowering the yield on the long bond to 6%, yield spreads on mortgages widened initially but by February 29, spreads narrowed below their six-month averages. Overall, this sector underperformed as prepayments and duration concerns increased selling pressure. The corporate sector realized excellent returns as heavy investor demand absorbed all new issuance plus strengthening credit quality forced yield spreads to tighten considerably. Taking all the sources of final demand together, modest economic growth is still the most likely forecast -- 2.5% real GDP growth in 1996, with the first half of the year being relatively weak and the second half of the year strengthening. Even this modest growth is going to require some help from the Fed. The Fed's two federal funds rate cuts of 25 basis points each in 1995 were not enough. With the dramatic fall in long-term interest rates, the flattening of the yield curve through 1995 is a threat to the economy and raises the specter of recession. Some steepening is necessary, which would indicate the addition of liquidity to the system. We expect that steepening to come from a combination of lower short-term interest rates and slightly higher long-term rates. Tax-exempt money market funds experienced record growth during the six months ended February 29, 1996. Assets hit new all-time highs in each month and ended the period at $134.7 billion, up $19.6 billion or 17% from last year. This surge in assets can be attributed to uncertainty over changes to the tax code and flat tax proposals, the Washington budget impasse, new T+3 settlement rule changes and an inverted yield curve. Investor concerns about credit quality created enormous demand for high quality paper during the period. The pressure on the Japanese banking system, as well as the ratings downgrades on several Japanese banks, widened the spreads between Japanese letters of credit and European or domestic letters of credit to over 30 basis points. Tax-free money fund yields trended upwards in the fourth quarter as supply increased. Yields hit a six-month peak at year-end due to seasonal window dressing pressures. Weaker than expected economic reports and a lack of supply caused yields to decline early in the new year.

MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET PORTFOLIO NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FEBRUARY 29, 1996 (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 12.2 billion shares are currently classified into sixty-one classes. Each class represents an interest in one of seventeen investment portfolios of the Fund, fifteen of which are currently in operation. The classes have been grouped into fifteen separate "families", eight of which have begun investment operations: the RBB Family, the BEA Family, the Sansom Street Family, the Bedford Family, the Cash Preservation Family, the Janney Montgomery Scott Money Funds, the Warburg Pincus Family, and the Bradford Family. The Bradford Municipal Money Market Shares represent an interest in the Municipal Money Market 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 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 principles. D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES -- No provision is made for Federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to have the 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) 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. 10 BRADFORD MUNICIPAL MONEY MARKET SHARES THE RBB FUND, INC.
