REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD

GENERAL INTRODUCTION

Strong start to the year followed by correction
In the first  half of 2006  strong and balanced  growth was  recorded
globally. Generally, profitability in  the corporate sector  remained
strong and there was ample liquidity.
Inflationary pressures emerged partly as a result of the increase  in
the price of commodities like oil. Many central banks, including  the
US Federal Reserve Bank  (Fed) and the  ECB tightened their  monetary
policies. The Bank of Japan stopped its policy of flooding the market
with liquidity and bond yields increased sharply.
Until May  equity  markets  benefited  from  the  favorable  economic
outlook. This was followed  by a correction  triggered by fears  that
the Fed would  overdo its  tightening, putting  downward pressure  on
economic growth and on earnings growth in the corporate sector.
This concern also led to a general change in risk perception and risk
appetite. In recent years investors have generally searched for  high
returns by investing in assets  presenting a relatively higher  risk.
The more  uncertain  economic outlook  led  them to  show  increasing
preferences for markets and assets  that were perceived to be  safer.
The correction was  smallest in the  US and largest  in the  emerging
markets.

Outlook
The valuations of equity markets  generally appear to be  reasonable.
The economic  outlook  remains  favorable, with  expectations  for  a
moderate slowdown in the US, continuing recovery in the euro zone and
Japan, and strong growth  in most of  the emerging markets.  Interest
rates will probably go up further, while inflation may increase,  but
is likely to remain under control.
Equity  markets  should  do  reasonably  well  in  this  environment,
although  there  is  some    uncertainty  about  the  possibility  of
correction continuing and going too far. In addition, the US  economy
may slow down more  sharply than envisaged,  affecting growth in  the
rest of  the  world and  making  the environment  for  equities  less
favorable.

INVESTMENT RESULT
In the first half of 2006, the  share price of Rolinco fell from  EUR
23.73 to EUR 23.19. Assuming reinvestment of the dividend of EUR 0.36
per share distributed in May 2006,  this was an investment result  of
- -0.9%.
Based on net asset value, which fell from EUR 23.84 to EUR 23.07, the
investment result was -1.8%. The fund's benchmark, the S&P  Citigroup
World Growth Primary Market Index, fell 3.7% over the same period.
Rolinco therefore outperformed its benchmark by a margin of 2%.  Good
stock selection in the  consumer discretionary, consumer staples  and
information   technology   sectors    was   responsible   for    this
outperformance. In general, the stocks  selected in the US and  Japan
generated better returns than the  market averages. A 5% position  in
emerging markets made a positive contribution initially but this  was
later nullified during the correction which occurred in May and June.
Although growth  stocks are  only slightly  more expensive  than  the
broader market, this group still lagged some 2% in the first half  of
2006. The typical growth sectors  of technology and health care  were
laggards, while  materials  and utilities  showed  relatively  strong
returns.

INVESTMENT POLICY
By the end of  the first half  of 2006 the  stock market climate  had
completely reversed. However in the first few months of the year  the
trends of 2005  continued unabated as  stock markets continued  their
uninterrupted rally to the highest levels in four years. In the  case
of  the  rally   in  commodities,  the   market  even  witnessed   an
acceleration of the upward trend. Economic growth picked up in Europe
and Japan  and  remained surprisingly  strong  in the  US.  Corporate
earnings reached record highs  in many cases,  due to rising  volumes
and widening margins. For some time stock markets continued to ignore
the ongoing rate hikes and this made them vulnerable. When it  became
clear that the end of this phase of interest-rate increases was still
some way off,  the markets experienced  a correction. Many  companies
also seized the  opportunity to  raise capital  at attractive  rates,
which resulted in  a considerable  increase in the  number of  IPO's,
particularly in Europe. At  the same time  there was feverish  merger
and takeover activity.
In  that  period  Rolinco's  policy  was  to  gradually  reduce   the
portfolio's risks. This was the  main reason behind the reduction  of
the position in the energy sector from  14% to 12%. There is a  great
deal  of  speculation  in  the  market  about  the  persistent  price
increases of oil  and materials.  With headlines such  as 'oil  price
heading for  USD 100  per barrel'  and 'golden  age for  refineries',
investors became too  submissive in our  opinion. A major  difference
between this and the technology  craze is that the commodities  craze
is not being accompanied by  high valuations. Many oil companies  are
trading at less than ten times earnings. However, these earnings  are
based on the current sky-high  market price and are therefore  highly
vulnerable to a correction. In the longer term we nevertheless expect
a relatively  high  oil  price  as  a  result  of  the  lack  of  any
large-scale  alternatives.   We   reduced   our   holdings   in   the
oil-extraction companies PetroCanada and Canadian Natural  Resources.
In the refinery segment, we  sold interests in Austria-based OMV  and
Valero from the US.
Three stocks  in  the Rolinco  portfolio  were involved  in  takeover
activity. The  acquisition of  Guidant by  Johnson &  Johnson  became
uncertain after  quality  problems came  to  light at  the  pacemaker
manufacturer. The takeover  bid was lowered,  enabling smaller  rival
Boston Scientific to make a higher bid. Despite the turbulent interim
price fluctuations  Rolinco eventually  managed to  sell its  Guidant
stock at  a good  price. Publisher  VNU was  faced with  dissatisfied
shareholders  (including  Rolinco)  who  were  of  the  opinion  that
Valcon's takeover bid was too low. After the price was raised to  EUR
29.50, we tendered  our securities.  Warner Music appears  to be  the
third takeover candidate. Sector rival EMI has launched a bid but the
company has so far rejected it. We think that the growth of the music
industry as a  result of  Internet distribution may  be entering  yet
another new phase, nevertheless we took advantage of the sharp  price
increase which  occurred following  the bid  to sell  our holding  in
Warner Music.
We did also make some purchases.  We exploited the correction in  the
Japanese banking sector by  taking a position in  Resona, one of  the
large players that will  benefit from the end  of deflation in  Japan
and from  interest  rates that  will  eventually increase  again.  In
addition, we gradually built  a position in  Philips. The company  is
revamping its organization by selling  off weaker cyclical parts  and
buying elements  that offer  structural  growth. The  company's  good
position in the medical-technology  industry particularly appeals  to
us and  we  think  that  the market  is  still  underestimating  this
industry's growth potential.
There were  few changes  in  the information-technology  sector.  Our
portfolio was affected  negatively by  Microsoft's decline.  Although
the company can still offer considerable growth, in our opinion,  the
market does not  have confidence  in the investments  the company  is
making and is only  looking for higher  dividend.  Microsoft's  stock
has never  been this  cheap,  speculators are  selling but  the  real
investors are buying!

OUTLOOK
After the market correction this spring, stock valuations have become
attractive again. Growth stocks in  particular are trading at only  a
minimal  premium   to   the   broader   market   and   offer   better
earnings-growth potential.

NOTES

General
Rolinco N.V. (hereafter also  referred to as 'the  fund') is a  Dutch
investment company  with a  variable capital  within the  meaning  of
article 28 of  the 1969  Dutch Corporate Income  Tax Act  [Wet op  de
vennootschapsbelasting 1969]. This means that no corporate-income tax
is due,  providing  that the  fund  makes its  profit  available  for
distribution to shareholders  in the  form of  dividend within  eight
months of the  close of the  financial year and  satisfies any  other
relevant regulations. As a  result of the  appointment as Manager  of
Robeco Fund Management B.V., which holds a license from the AFM  [the
Netherlands Authority  for the  Financial  Markets] under  the  Dutch
Investment  Institutions   Supervision  Act   ['Wtb',  Wet   Toezicht
Beleggingsinstellingen], the license in accordance with article 5  of
the 1990  Dutch  Investment  Institutions Supervision  Act  has  been
legally cancelled.

Manager
Robeco N.V. appointed Robeco Fund  Management B.V. as Manager of  the
fund as of  1 March 2006.  The tasks  for which the  Manager will  be
responsible  include  the   execution  of   the  investment   policy,
management of  the  fund  assets  as  well  as  handling  the  fund's
financial administration,  marketing  and distribution.  Robeco  Fund
Management B.V. is part of the Robeco Group and was granted a license
by the  Netherlands Authority  for the  Financial Markets  to act  as
manager on  29  December  2005.  The  agreement  between  the  fund's
management board and  the Manager includes  the stipulation that  the
Manager will  comply  with  the provisions  of  the  prospectus,  the
Articles of Association and the  directives of the fund's  management
board, insofar as these are in line with the shareholders' interests,
and that  the Manager  will observe  the applicable  legislation  and
regulations. The Manager will also regularly report to the management
board on its duties. At the  General Meeting of Shareholders held  on
27 April 2006 Robeco Fund  Management B.V. was appointed as  director
of the company.



Models
The semiannual report has been drawn up in conformity with the models
provided by Dutch legislature for annual financial statements, taking
into account the  regulations that  apply to  semiannual reports.  In
certain areas, descriptions have been  used which better express  the
nature of the items  and relate better to  the characteristics of  an
investment company.

Open-end fund
Rolinco N.V. is an open-end investment company, meaning that, barring
exceptional circumstances, Rolinco  N.V. issues  and repurchases  its
shares on a daily  basis at prices approximating  net asset value.  A
fixed spread between the bid and  offer price applies to cover  costs
related to issuance  and repurchase  of own shares.  The issue  price
will not be more than  0.5% higher than the  net asset value and  the
repurchase price will not be more than 0.5% lower than the net  asset
value. The abovementioned margin between the net asset value and  the
issue and repurchase prices,  and the associated  costs, are for  the
account and risk  of Robeco  Investment Consulting B.V.  (RIC), as  a
result of which Rolinco N.V. issues and repurchases its shares at net
asset value. RIC will distribute  any positive spread results to  the
funds, in  proportion to  each fund's  positive contribution  to  the
spread result. A buffer is maintained to cover any future losses.


Non-certificated participation in the Netherlands
Parties with  which  shares  may be  held  in  non-certificated  form
include Robeco Direct N.V. in the Robeco Group Accounts System or the
affiliated branches  of  Rabobank  in the  Rabo  Securities  Account.
Participants pay costs on the sum deposited for each purchase, and in
the event  of  a  sale  a percentage  of  the  sum  withdrawn.  These
participation costs are currently a maximum of 0.4% via Robeco Direct
and a  maximum  of  0.5%  via  Rabobank,  depending  on  the  channel
selected. These  sums  will  accrue to  Robeco  Direct  and  Rabobank
respectively.

Outsourcing core tasks
Until 1  March  2006, the  administration  was outsourced  to  Robeco
Nederland B.V., a 100%  subsidiary of Robeco  Groep N.V. These  costs
are covered by the  service fee. Agreements have  been made with  the
aforementioned party  relating to  the provision  of information  and
performance standards. As a result of the appointment of the Manager,
outsourcing of the administration has  been terminated as of 1  March
2006.

accounting principles

General
The accounting principles for the valuation of assets and liabilities
and determination of  the result are  unchanged, and as  such are  in
accordance  with  the  annual   financial  statements.  Amounts   are
expressed in thousands of euros.

Affiliated parties
Rolinco N.V. is affiliated to the entities belonging to Robeco  Groep
N.V. The affiliation  with Robeco  Groep N.V.  is the  result of  the
possibility of having decisive control or a substantial influence  on
the fund's business policy. Robeco Groep N.V. belongs to the Rabobank
Group. The  management  structure  of Robeco  Groep  N.V.,  in  which
significant authority  is allocated  to its  independent  supervisory
board, is such  that Rabobank does  not have a  meaningful say in  or
influence on the fund's business policy. Robeco Groep N.V. pursues an
independent investment policy on behalf of its affiliated  investment
companies,  taking  into  account  the  interests  of  the  investors
involved. Besides services of other market parties, Rolinco N.V. also
uses the  services  of  one  or more  of  these  affiliated  entities
including transactions relating to securities, treasury, derivatives,
custody, securities lending, and sale and purchase of its own shares,
fund-administration  services,  as  well  as  management  activities.
Transactions are executed at market rates.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS



Risks
Transactions in  financial instruments  may lead  to the  fund  being
subject to  the risks  described below  or to  the fund  transferring
these risks to another party.
Price risk
Currency risk is the  risk that the value  of a financial  instrument
will  fluctuate  as   a  result   of  changes   in  exchange   rates.
Interest-rate risk  is  the  risk  that  the  value  of  a  financial
instrument will fluctuate  as a  result of changes  in market  rates.
Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, caused by  factors
that exclusively apply to the individual instrument or its issuer  or
caused by factors that affect all instruments traded in the market.
The fund  minimizes  the  risks  by investing  mainly  in  large  and
well-known companies and by making  a balanced selection with  regard
to  distribution  across  regions,  sectors,  individual  stocks  and
currencies.
Credit risk
Credit risk  is  the  risk  that  the  counterparty  of  a  financial
instrument will no longer meet its obligations, as a result of  which
the fund will suffer a financial  loss. The fund minimizes this  risk
by trading exclusively with reputable counterparties. Wherever it  is
customary in the market, the fund will demand and obtain collateral.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk  that the fund is  not able to obtain  the
financial  means  required  to  meet  the  obligations  arising  from
financial  instruments.  The  fund  minimizes  this  risk  by  mainly
investing in  financial  instruments that  are  tradable on  a  daily
basis.

Insight into actual risks
The Report of the management board,  the Balance sheet, the Notes  to
the balance sheet and  the Spread of net  assets, which includes  the
geographic distribution of the investments, the net currency position
and distribution over sectors, give an insight into the actual  risks
at balance-sheet date.

Risk management
Managing risk is a part of the investment process as a whole and with
the help of advanced systems,  the risks outlined above are  limited,
measured and monitored on the basis of fixed risk measures.

Policy regarding the use of derivative instruments
Investing implies that positions are taken. As it is possible to  use
various instruments, including  derivative instruments, to  construct
an identical position, the selection of derivatives is subordinate to
the  positioning  of  a  portfolio.  In  our  published  information,
attention is given primarily to the overall position, and secondarily
to the nature and volume of the financial instruments employed.

Derivatives
The market value of derivatives is reported in the Balance sheet. The
presentation of  the market  value is  based on  the liabilities  and
receivables per  counterparty.  The receivables  are  reported  under
Financial investments and the liabilities are reported under Accounts
payable. The value of the derivatives' underlying instruments is  not
included in  the Balance  sheet. If  applicable, they  are  explained
under the heading Commitments not shown in the balance sheet.

NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET AND THE PROFIT AND LOSS ACCOUNT

1 Stocks

of non-restitution, adequate  collateral with  a value  of EUR  109.4
million (EUR 254.6 million at the end of last year) was demanded  and
obtained; this collateral is not  included in the Balance sheet.  The
geographic distribution  and  the  currency position  of  the  equity
portfolio are included in  the overview of the  Spread of net  assets
which can be found at the end of this report.

The total  expense ratio  expresses  the costs  charged to  the  fund
during the reporting  period as  a percentage of  the average  assets
entrusted during  the  reporting period.  In  addition to  the  costs
charged directly to the fund assets, the total expense ratio includes
the costs indirectly charged  to the fund  assets via the  underlying
funds. The total expense ratio as shown does not include  transaction
costs. The total expense ratio was 0.60% during the reporting period.
The management costs relate to all of the fund's current costs, which
include the  fees paid  for registering  shareholders and  all  costs
resulting from  the management  of the  fund, with  the exception  of
costs relating to investments and  taxes. The service fee covers  the
administration, the  costs of  the external  auditor, other  external
advisers, regulators, costs relating to reports required by law, such
as the annual and semiannual reports,  and the costs relating to  the
meetings of shareholders. The costs relating to investments in Robeco
Group mutual  funds  concern  the  on-charge  of  costs  relating  to
investments in Robeco Group mutual funds,  as stated in the table  on
page xx.  Other costs  relate to  bank charges  and the  custody  fee
charged by third  parties for  the custody of  the fund's  securities
portfolio. The custody fee is EUR 98 thousand.
For the period 1  July 2005 through 30  June 2006, the total  expense
ratio is 1.19%, and for the period  1 July 2004 through 30 June  2005
it was 1.15%.

7 Management costs and service fee
Management costs relate  exclusively to the  management fee of  1.00%
per year. The service fee amounts to 0.12% per year and covers formal
and operational costs. For assets exceeding EUR 1 billion the service
fee is 0.10% per year; for assets exceeding EUR 5 billion the service
fee is 0.08%  per year. Up  to 1  March 2006 the  management fee  and
service fee were  charged by  Robeco Nederland B.V.,  from this  date
onwards these fees have been  charged by Robeco Fund Management  B.V.
The fees are calculated on a daily basis, based on the average assets
entrusted. Wherever in  this report  mention is made  of the  average
assets entrusted this  is also  calculated on a  daily basis,  unless
stated otherwise.

8 Other costs
This includes custody costs and bank charges.

9 Performance fee
Rolinco N.V. is not subject to a performance fee.

10 Transaction costs
Brokerage costs and exchange fees relating to investment transactions
are discounted in the cost price or the sales value of the investment
transactions. These costs and fees are charged to the result  ensuing
from changes in value. The  quantifiable transaction costs are  shown
below. The transaction volume  of the quantifiable transaction  costs
is 88% (over the period 1 January through 30 June 2005 this was  93%)
of the total transaction volume.

Hard commissions and commission-sharing arrangements
Various  independent  research  institutions/third  parties   provide
services to the company to support its decision-making process.  Part
of the commissions paid to brokers is used to pay for these services,
so-called commission-sharing  arrangements. In  the reporting  period
commission-sharing  agreements  represented  an  amount  of  EUR  167
thousand (over the period 1 January through 30 June 2005 this was EUR
130 thousand).

12 Turnover ratio
This shows the turnover of the investments against the average assets
entrusted  and  is  a  measure  of  the  incurred  transaction  costs
resulting  from  the  portfolio   policy  pursued  and  the   ensuing
investment transactions. In the  calculation method used, the  amount
of the turnover is determined by  the sum of the purchases and  sales
of investments less the sum of issuance and repurchase of own shares.
If the outcome  is negative, the  turnover ratio is  0. The  turnover
ratio is  determined  by  expressing  the amount  of  turnover  as  a
percentage of the average assets  entrusted. The turnover ratio  over
the reporting period  was 3% against  21% over the  period 1  January
through 30  June  2005. The  decrease  is caused  by  a  considerable
increase in the  number of shares  outstanding in the  first half  of
2006. On  the basis  of  actual changes  in  the composition  of  the
portfolio, about 8% of  the stocks have been  replaced. This fits  in
well with Rolinco's investment horizon of three to five years.

13 Transactions with affiliated parties
Part of the transaction volume  over the reporting period relates  to
transactions with  affiliated  parties.  The table  below  shows  the
various types of transactions where this was the case.

14 Securities lending
Robeco Securities Lending  B.V. is the  intermediary for all  Rolinco
N.V.'s  securities-lending  transactions.  As  compensation  for  its
services Robeco Securities Lending B.V. receives a fee of 40% of  the
gross income resulting from these securities-lending transactions. An
external agency periodically assesses whether the agreements  between
the fund and  Robeco Securities Lending  are still in  line with  the
market. The return for the fund over the reporting period was EUR 449
thousand (EUR 101 thousand over the period 1 January through 30  June
2005) and  for Robeco  Securities Lending  EUR 314  thousand (EUR  68
thousand over the period 1 January through 30 June 2005).

15 Voting policy for stocks in the investment portfolio
In the first half of 2006, Rolinco N.V. voted at the majority of  the
general meetings  of  shareholders  of  the  companies  in  which  it
invests. If the shares of an investment position have been lent  out,
the voting rights attached to those
shares may not be exercised during general meetings of  shareholders.
If an important event were to  occur, the shares that have been  lent
out may be recalled in order for the voting rights attached to  these
