RBC FUNDS, INC.
| RBC Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation on March 1, 1994. At October 31, 2003, the Company consisted of six separate investment portfolios: RBC Large Cap Equity Fund, RBC Mid Cap Equity Fund, RBC Small Cap Equity Fund, RBC Government Income Fund, RBC Quality Income Fund, and the RBC North Carolina Tax-Free Bond Fund (individually, a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”). |
| The Funds offer three classes of shares: Class A, Class B, and Class I shares. Class A shares are offered with no maximum front-end sales charge. Effective November 1, 2001, offerings of Class B shares were closed to new investors. Class B shares are offered to existing Class B shareholders for reinvestment of dividends and in exchange for Class B shares of other Funds. Class B shares are so offered at net asset value but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). In addition, Class A and Class B shares pay ongoing distribution fees. Class B shares will convert automatically to Class A shares on the first business day of the month following the seventh anniversary of their purchase date. Class I shares are offered to trust or institutional clients of the Funds’ Investment Advisor as well as accounts of brokers and other financial intermediaries affiliated with RBC Financial Group. |
| The Funds’ investment objectives are as follows: |
| RBC Large Cap Equity Fund — Long-term capital appreciation. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of large U.S. companies each having $5 billion or more in market capitalization at the time of purchase by the Fund. Investments may include securities of non-U.S. companies, and the Fund may engage in certain hedging strategies. |
| RBC Mid Cap Equity Fund — Long-term capital appreciation. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of mid-sized companies that fall within the market capitalization range of companies in the Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”) MidCap 400 Composite Stock Price Index at the time of purchase by the Fund. Investments may include securities of non-U.S. Companies, and the Fund may engage in certain hedging strategies. |
| RBC Small Cap Equity Fund — Long-term capital appreciation. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in common stocks of small companies. Small capitalization companies are defined by the Fund as companies with a market capitalization of less than $2.0 billion at the time of purchase by the Fund. Investments may include securities of non-U.S. companies, and the Fund may engage in certain hedging strategies. |
| RBC Government Income Fund — Relatively high current income consistent with relative stability of principal and safety. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in U.S. Government obligations (those that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities). The Fund’s investments in securities guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies are primarily mortgage backed securities. In general, its investments will have maximum maturities of ten years. |
| RBC Quality Income Fund — Current income and capital appreciation. The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in U.S. Government obligations (those that are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities) and investment grade corporate debt obligations as well as other fixed income securities such as asset backed securities, mortgage backed securities and bank obligations. At least 70% of the Fund’s total assets will be invested in securities rated at the time of purchase in one of the three highest categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations or unrated securities of comparable quality. The Fund’s other investments may include securities rated BBB by S&P or Baa by Moody’s Investors Service (or deemed of comparable quality), preferred stocks, zero coupon obligations and convertible securities, and the Fund may invest in certain derivatives in order to lengthen or shorten its average portfolio maturity. |
| RBC North Carolina Tax-Free Bond Fund — High current income that is free from both federal income tax and North Carolina personal income tax, together with relative safety of principal. The Fund must normally invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in municipal obligations issued by the State of North Carolina, its political subdivisions, and at least 80% of its total assets in bonds, although the Fund expects generally to have a higher percentage of its assets so invested. None of the Fund’s securities will have a remaining maturity of more than fifteen years. |

2. | | Significant Accounting Policies |
| The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial 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 period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
| Bonds and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations but including listed issues) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Board”). In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics other than market data and without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchanges or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities. Short-term debt obligations, having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less at time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value, as approved by the Board. |
| The value of each equity security is based either on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the closing bid prices on such exchanges, or at the quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market. Securities traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the official closing price as reported by NASDAQ. Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or for which an independent pricing service does not provide a value or provides a value that does not represent fair value, are valued at fair market value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Board. |
| Security transactions in the Funds are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. |
| Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund; other expenses are allocated proportionately among each Fund within the Company in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Expenses specific to a class are charged to that class. |
| A Fund may enter into certain futures contracts, including for most Funds, futures contracts based on a specific security, class of securities, foreign currency or an index, purchase or sell options on any such futures contracts and engage in related closing transactions. A futures contract on a securities index is an agreement obligating either party to pay, and entitling the other party to receive, while the contract is outstanding, cash payments based on the level of a specified securities index. The Funds may enter into futures contracts in an effort to hedge against market risks. The acquisition of put and call options on futures contracts will give the Company the right (but not the obligation), for a specified price, to sell or to purchase the underlying futures contract, upon exercise of the option, at any time during the option period. Futures transactions involve brokerage costs and require the Company to segregate assets to cover contracts that would require it to purchase securities or currencies. A Fund may lose the expected benefit of futures transactions if interest rates, exchange rates or securities prices change in an unanticipated manner. Such unanticipated changes may also result in lower overall performance than if the Fund had not entered into any futures transactions. In addition, the value of a Fund’s futures positions may not prove to be perfectly or even highly correlated with the value of its portfolio securities or foreign currencies, limiting a Fund’s ability to hedge effectively against interest rate, exchange rate and/or market risk and giving rise to additional risks. There is no assurance of liquidity in the secondary market for purposes of closing out futures positions. |

| Upon entering into a futures contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the initial margin deposit. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in fair value of the underlying index. The Funds recognize a gain or loss equal to the variation margin. |
| The Funds may engage in when-issued (to be announced) transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are valued daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. |
| Distributions to Shareholders: |
| The RBC Large Cap Equity Fund, RBC Mid Cap Equity Fund, and RBC Small Cap Equity Fund declare and pay dividends of substantially all of their net investment income monthly. The RBC Government Income Fund, RBC Quality Income Fund, and RBC North Carolina Tax-Free Bond Fund declare dividends of substantially all of their net investment income daily and pay those dividends monthly. Each Fund will distribute, at least annually, substantially all net capital gains, if any, earned by such Fund. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. 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 capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. |
3. | | Agreements and Other Transactions with Affiliates |
| On December 18, 2002, the shareholders of the RBC Funds, Inc. met and approved Voyageur Asset Management Inc. (“Voyageur” or “Advisor”) as the Company’s investment advisor effective December 30, 2002. Voyageur replaced Glenwood Capital Management, Inc., each an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Royal Bank of Canada. The new advisory contracts did not change the rate of advisory fees paid by the Funds. Pursuant to the advisory contracts, the Advisor manages the investments of the Funds and continuously reviews, supervises and administers the Funds’ investments. The Advisor is responsible for placing orders for the purchase and sale of investment securities directly with brokers and dealers selected at its discretion. Under the terms of the advisory contracts the Advisor is entitled to receive fees based on a percentage of the average daily net assets of each of the Funds as follows: 0.70% for the RBC Large Cap Equity Fund, RBC Mid Cap Equity Fund, and the RBC Small Cap Equity Fund, 0.30 % for the RBC Government Income Fund, 0.60% for the RBC Quality Income Fund, and 0.35% for the RBC North Carolina Tax-Free Bond Fund. Certain officers of the Funds are employed by the Advisor. Such individuals are not paid any fees directly by the Funds for serving as officers of the Funds. |
| BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS”) serves as the Funds’administrator (the “Administrator”), transfer agent, and fund accounting agent. Services provided under the administrative services contract include providing day-to-day administration of matters related to the corporate existence of the Company, maintenance of its records and the preparation of reports. Services provided under the transfer agency agreement include providing personnel and facilities to perform shareholder servicing and transfer agency related services. Under the terms of the administrative services contract, the Administrator receives a fee based on an annual percentage of 0.15% of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The fund accounting fees for the Funds are computed at the annual rate percentage of 0.03% of each Fund’s average daily net assets subject to a $30,000 per Fund annual minimum fee. The transfer agency agreement provides for a per account fee in connection with shareholder servicing. |
| Each of the Funds has adopted a Master Distribution 12b-1 Plan (the “Plan”) with respect to its Class A and Class B shares, in which Centura Funds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ distributor. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Funds’Administrator and was formed specifically to distribute shares of the Funds. The Plan provides that Class A and B shares of each Fund will pay the Distributor a fee for its costs incurred in financing certain distribution and shareholder service activities related to that class. |
| The Plan provides for payments by each Fund to the Distributor at an annual rate not to exceed 0.50% and 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to its Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively. Such fees may include a service fee totaling up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to a Fund’s Class A shares and Class B shares, respectively. Service fees are paid to securities dealers and other financial institutions for maintaining shareholder accounts and providing |

| related services to shareholders. Currently, the Distributor has voluntarily undertaken to limit 12b-1 fees to 0.25% for Class A shares for each Fund and 0.75% for Class B shares of the RBC Government Income Fund, RBC Quality Income Fund, and RBC North Carolina Tax-Free Bond Fund. |
| In addition, the Distributor also receives the proceeds of any CDSC imposed on redemptions of Class B shares. The following is a summary of the dealer commissions paid to the Distributor, and re-allowed to RBC Centura Securities, Inc., and RBC Dain Rauscher Corp. for Class B shares for the six months ended October 31, 2003: |

| It is the policy of each Fund to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable section of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gain sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all federal income taxes. |
| During the Funds’ fiscal year, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP resigned as the Funds’ independent auditors on the basis it was no longer “independent” of the Funds within the meaning of their professional standards. On December 2, 2003, the Board engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Funds’ new independent auditors as of that date for the remainder of the fiscal year ending April 30, 2004. |
| On December 2, 2003, the Funds’ Board approved, among other items, a Plan of Reorganization, subject to shareholder approval, whereby the Corporation would reorganize as a Delaware trust. Shareholders of the Funds will also be asked to approve, among other proposals, the election of nine Directors to the Board. |

on its audit committee.
(2) If the registrant provides the disclosure required by
paragraph (a)(1)(i) of this Item, it must disclose the name of
the audit committee financial expert and whether that person is
"independent." In order to be considered "independent" for
purposes of this Item, a member of an audit committee may not,

years.
(b) Disclose, under the caption AUDIT-RELATED FEES, the aggregate fees
billed in each of the last two fiscal years for assurance and related services
by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of
the audit of the registrant's financial statements and are not reported under
paragraph (a) of this Item. Registrants shall describe the nature of the
services comprising the fees disclosed under this category.
(c) Disclose, under the caption TAX FEES, the aggregate fees billed in
each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the
principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.
Registrants shall describe the nature of the services comprising the fees
disclosed under this category.
(d) Disclose, under the caption ALL OTHER FEES, the aggregate fees
billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided
by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in paragraphs (a)
through (c) of this Item. Registrants shall describe the nature of the services
comprising the fees disclosed under this category.
(e) (1) Disclose the audit committee's pre-approval policies and
procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time,
permanent employees.

accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the
registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is
primarily portfolio management and

controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that
provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal
years of the registrant.
(h) Disclose whether the registrant's audit committee of the board of
directors has considered whether the provision of nonaudit services that were
rendered to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any subadviser
whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or
overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled
by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing
services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph
(c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the
principal accountant's independence.
NOT APPLICABLE FOR SEMI-ANNUAL REPORTING PERIODS.
