Review of Period
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The economic climate over the six-month period of this report was characterized by considerable optimism fueled by positive economic news, even though these improvements typically came from deeply depressed levels. While unprecedented economic stimulus seemed to be gaining traction around the world, this was of little comfort to those represented in the persistently high domestic unemployment numbers, or among the increasing percentage of U.S. homeowners whose mortgages showed a larger balance than the value of their homes.
Despite the hurdles of high unemployment and a still-troubled housing market, the broad domestic indices were up solidly. The S&P 500 rose 15.7% over the period, considerably stronger than the broad international index, MSCI EAFE, which rose just 2.7%. Domestically, smaller stocks outperformed larger stocks, a part of the trend which rewarded higher-risk assets. Bonds were generally positive as well as they followed the same quality trend as stocks, with the high-yield market continuing to outpace lower-risk bond assets.
Optimism over a strong rebound in corporate earnings was a key driver for the stock market as investors who had moved to the sidelines, earning little in cash, were enticed back to stocks. Cyclical sectors excelled during this upturn with industrial and consumer discretionary stocks leading the way. The Technology Sector was the leader from the market bottom, however, profit taking and growth concerns led to weaker relative performance in the early months of 2010. Defensively oriented sectors such as Health Care, Utilities and Consumer Staples were among the laggards.
As we look towards the remainder of 2010, we remain somewhat optimistic about the domestic economy. We will be carefully monitoring trouble spots around the world, most notably the sovereign debt crisis in Greece. A general concern for us is the manner in which the market, still fresh from the deep losses of 2008 and early 2009, seems to be complacent regarding risk. As a result, we would look at a market correction as a healthy and natural outcome of the steep recovery in stocks since the market bottom of March, 2009. It might also be the spark needed to shift investors from the low-quality stocks and bonds that have led the market over the past year towards the more fundamentally sound investments which are more typical of our holdings in most of our MEMBERS funds.

CONSERVATIVE ALLOCATION FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS Conservative Allocation Fund invests primarily in shares of registered investment companies (the "underlying funds"). The fund will be diversified among a number of asset classes and its allocation among underlying funds will be based on an asset allocation model developed by Madison Asset Management, LLC ("Madison"), the fund’s investment adviser.
The team may use multiple analytical approaches to determine the appropriate asset allocation:
| •Asset allocation optimization analysis – considers the the degree to which returns in different asset classes do or do not move together, and the fund’s aim to achieve a favorable overall risk profile for any targeted portfolio return. |
| •Scenario analysis – historical and expected return data is analyzed to model how individual asset classes and combinations of asset classes would affect the fund under different economic and market conditions. |
| •Fundamental analysis – draws upon Madison’s investment teams to judge each asset class against current and forecasted market conditions. Economic, industry and security analysis is used to develop return and risk expectations that may influence asset class selection. |
In addition, Madison employs a risk management sleeve within the fund for the purpose of risk reduction when and if conditions exist that require reduction of equity exposure.
The six-month period ended April 30, 2010 was a smooth investing environment that resulted in relatively high returns with low volatility. Improving U.S. economic and employment related data, in addition to continued accommodation by the Federal Reserve, gave investors the confidence they needed to push markets higher. In terms of major asset class performance, U.S. stocks, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, led the way with a strong 15.66% return. Returns on international stocks were quite lackluster in comparison, with the developed markets MSCI EAFE Index gaining 2.68%. U.S. core bonds returned 2.54% as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the MEMBERS Conservative Allocation Fund (Class A shares at net asset value) returned 6.13%, underperforming the Conservative Allocation Fund Custom Index return of 6.86%. The underperformance of our core bond positions explained the majority of the modest shortfall. Additionally, our focus on large cap equities was a detriment to performance, as small and mid cap stocks outperformed larger names by a fairly wide margin over the period.
Contributors to fund performance included: MEMBERS Large Cap Growth Fund Class Y which returned 13.60% for the period, MEMBERS Large Cap Value Fund Class Y which returned 12.94%, and Templeton Global Bond Fund which returned 11.16%.
Detractors from fund performance included: MEMBERS Bond Fund Class Y which returned 1.47% for the period, Madison Mosaic Institutional Bond Fund which returned 1.53%, and MEMBERS International Stock Fund Class Y which returned 3.19%.

Conservative Allocation Fund (concluded)
Over the period we transitioned the portfolio to a more conservative posture. We reduced our direct international equity position by over 40% and added to our fixed income holdings. New positions added to the fund included MEMBERS Equity Income Fund Class Y (a covered call strategy) and Calamos Growth & Income Fund. We consider both funds defensive equity positions. We also increased our exposure to investment grade corporate bonds by initiating a position in PIMCO Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund. Lastly, Oppenheimer International Bond Fund was sold in favor of Templeton Global Bond Fund, and our position in Nakoma Absolute Return Fund was eliminated in favor of traditional fixed income investments.

The positive impact of our international underweight was countered by our focus on larger cap domestic stocks, as small and mid cap equities outperformed larger names by a fairly wide margin over the period.
Contributors to fund performance included: Fairholme Fund which returned 28.87% for the period, MEMBERS Small Cap Fund Class Y which returned 24.44%, MEMBERS Mid Cap Fund Class Y which returned 18.00%, and MEMBERS Large Cap Growth Fund Class Y which returned 13.60%.
Detractors from fund performance included: MEMBERS Bond Fund Class Y which returned 1.47% for the period, MEMBERS International Stock Fund Class Y which returned 3.19%, and Calamos Growth & Income Fund which returned 7.81%.
Over the period we transitioned the portfolio to a more conservative posture. We reduced our direct international equity position by roughly 60%, trimmed our small and mid cap positions, and added to our fixed income holdings. New positions added to the fund included MEMBERS Equity Income Fund Class Y (a covered call strategy) and Calamos Growth & Income Fund. We consider both funds defensive equity positions. We also increased our exposure to investment grade corporate bonds by initiating a position in PIMCO Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund. Also added was Hussman Strategic Growth Fund, a long/short absolute return fund, and T. Rowe Price New Era Fund, a diversified energy and natural resources fund. Notable eliminations were Victory Special Value Fund, a mid cap fund, and Laudus International MarketMasters Fund, a developed markets international equity fund.

The MEMBERS Cash Reserves Fund invests exclusively in U.S. dollar-denominated money market securities maturing in thirteen months or less from the date of purchase. These securities will be obligations of the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities, but may also include securities issued by U.S. and foreign financial institutions, corporations, municipalities, foreign governments, and multi-national organizations, such as the World Bank.
The fund may invest in mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, including those representing pools of mortgage, commercial, or

INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
Under normal circumstances, the MEMBERS Bond Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds. To keep current income relatively stable and to limit share price volatility, the fund emphasizes investment grade securities and maintains an intermediate (typically 3-6 year) average portfolio duration (a measure of a security’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates). The fund also strives to minimize risk in the portfolio by making strategic decisions relating to credit risk and yield curve outlook. The fund may invest in corporate debt securities, U.S. Government debt securities, foreign government debt securities, non-rated debt securities, and asset-backed, mortgage-backed and commercial mortgage-backed securities.
The six-month period ended April 30, 2010 witnessed interest rates rising modestly in a choppy fashion and a mild steepening of the yield curve. While the economic data have been somewhat mixed as befits an economy recovering during a deleveraging process, there has been a growing sense that the recovery is sustainable, albeit not of a ‘V’ shaped nature. There have been a number of cross currents. Greece and the entire Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) situation increasingly concerned the markets. It calls into question how much debt sovereigns can support in their efforts to buoy their economies, the viability of a potential reserve currency, the Euro, and raises questions regarding whether more systemic risk needs to be priced into the markets. Policy debates in Washington D.C. have left the electorate in an angry mood and created uncertainty as to the nature of the financial system going forward. Finally, China has recognized it may have a major problem in the form of a property bubble and inflation more generally. It has taken both monetary and regulatory steps to tighten credit and slow its economy.

During the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the MEMBERS Bond Fund earned 1.44% (Class A shares at net asset value) while the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate, Government & Mortgage Index earned 2.34%. The majority of the underperformance arises from the fund’s continued lower risk profile relative to the market index. The fund ended the period with a combined Treasury and cash position of approximately 62% versus the index weighting of 34%. The fund remained underweight corporate bonds in general, but particularly financials and BBB rated securities. The fund was also underweight mortgage securities in anticipation of the end of the Fed’s purchase program. For perspective, Treasuries earned less than 1% during the period, corporate bonds 4.97%, financial sector debt 5.53%, and BBB rated securities 6.95%, as measured by the

Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Index, Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Financial Corporates Index, and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporates BBB Rated Index, respectively. Most of the shortfall in performance the fund experienced was in the early part of the period. Given the heightened risks and reduced liquidity, the fund intends to remain risk averse going forward.
The fund experienced very little turnover during the period. We sold our position in a six-year Sprint bond in April. The security had recouped much of the price loss experienced earlier in 2009 and the fundamental story of this bond had not improved to the degree we expected. The fund also gradually reduced duration during the period. This was mostly accomplished through a buildup of cash.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS High Income Fund invests primarily in lower-rated, higher-yielding income bearing securities, such as "junk" bonds. Because the performance of these securities has historically been strongly influenced by economic conditions, the fund may emphasize security selection in business sectors that favor the economic outlook. Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its assets in bonds rated lower than investment grade (BBB/Baa) and their unrated equivalents or other high-yielding securities.
The high yield market continued its rally during the six-month period ended April 30, 2010 with the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index gaining 11.58%. The high yield sector substantially outperformed other fixed income sectors such as U.S. Treasuries which returned 1.0% and investment grade bonds as measured by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Index which returned 5.0% for the period. The three key themes for the high yield market during the past six months were a record volume of new issuance, a rapidly declining default rate, and continued strong retail and institutional demand for high yield assets.

The MEMBERS High Income Fund generated a return of 7.91% (Class A shares at net asset value) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2010. This performance lagged the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index, which returned 11.58% for the six-month period. A key component of the performance differential was the fund’s significant underweighting versus the index in Financials, which was a top performing sector for the period. For the overall high yield market, the Financial sector’s weighting has grown significantly over the past
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | Review of Period | April 30, 2010
High Income Fund (concluded)
15 months due to numerous fallen angels (i.e., downgrades from investment grade to high yield) that now accounts for over 10% of the index. The fund’s underweight is primarily due to the poor bond structure, long maturity, high leverage, and weak business profile endemic to many of these financial companies. However, notwithstanding these concerns, the financial issuers represented in the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index generated returns in excess of 10% for the period. During the reporting period, the fund benefited from its active participation in the new issue market. For the past six months, the fund participated in 37 new issues, 35 of which traded at a premium to issue price at the end of the period. The fund’s top weightings at the end of the reporting period included securities in the telecom, support-services, utilities, media -
diversified & services and health care areas.
One of the key changes to the fund’s portfolio during the reporting period was a decreased weighting in defensive securities such as those in the utilities and health care, and an increased weighting in cyclical chemicals. Moreover, the fund increased its weighting in the gaming and automotive industries, two areas that we believe should benefit from the resurgence in consumer discretionary spending. The fund also increased its weighting in convertible bonds during the reporting period from 4.8% to 6.3%.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS Diversified Income Fund seeks income by investing in a broadly diversified array of securities including bonds, common stocks, real estate securities, foreign market bonds and stocks and money market instruments. Bonds, stock and cash components will vary, reflecting the portfolio managers’ judgments of the relative availability of attractively yielding and priced stocks and bonds. Generally, however, bonds will constitute up to 80% of the fund’s assets, stocks will constitute up to 60% of the fund’s assets, real estate securities will constitute up to 25% of the fund’s assets, foreign stocks and bonds will constitute up to 25% of the fund’s assets and money market instruments may constitute up to 25% of the fund’s assets. The fund intends to limit the investment in lower credit quality bonds to less than 50% of the fund’s assets. The balance between the two strategies of the fund (fixed income and equity investing) is determined after reviewing the risks associated with each type of investment, with the goal of meaningful risk reduction as market conditions demand.
INVESTING ENVIRONMENT
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the broad U.S. stock market advanced 16.8%, as measured by the Russell 1000¨ Index. Domestically, smaller stocks outperformed larger stocks, a part of the trend which rewarded higher-risk assets. Optimism over a strong rebound in corporate earnings was a key driver for the stock market as investors who had moved to the sidelines, earning little in cash, were enticed back to stocks. Over the past six-months, we saw stocks return approximately triple what they have historically returned over a six-month period. The stocks held in the MEMBERS Diversified Income Fund lagged this performance, returning 15.4%, however we achieved our stock investment goal by participating in a strong bull market.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the MEMBERS Diversified Income Fund (Class A shares at net asset value) returned 7.94%, underperforming the Russell 1000¨ Index return of 16.77% and outperforming the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate, Government & Mortgage Index return of 2.34%.
The equity portion of the fund (approximately 47% of the fund on April 30, 2010), performed well relative to the Russell 1000¨ Index in five of the ten major sectors. The fund had strong returns from Industrials, led by stand-outs Boeing Co., Emerson Electric Co., and Honeywell International, Inc. The fund’s stock selection within Health Care detracted from relative performance, with a majority of the drag due to global pharmaceutical company Pfizer, Inc. Telecommunication Services firms AT&T, Inc. and Verizon Communications, Inc. also detracted from relative performance. In line with the fund’s objective, the bond portion of the fund emphasizes income over total return. As of the end of the period, the fund’s Class A share’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.49%.
For the equity portion of the fund, the most notable change to the portfolio during the period was the decrease in Industrial stock holdings from approximately 19% to 12%. We eliminated positions in Tyco, Emerson, and Deere, and reduced position sizes in Boeing, 3M Company, Honeywell, and United Technologies. We increased the portfolio exposure to Consumer Staples from approximately 15% to 19%, initiating positions in Diageo and Procter & Gamble, while adding to our positions in Pepsi and Avon. We also increased our Information Technology sector weight from approximately 6% to 8.5%, initiating positions in IBM and Qualcom, while adding to Intel.
In the bond portion of the fund, we sold our position in a six-year Sprint bond in April. The security had recouped much of the price loss experienced earlier in 2009 and the fundamental story of this credit had not improved to a degree we had hoped.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS Equity Income Fund invests primarily in common stocks of large-and mid-capitalization companies that are, in the view of the fund’s investment adviser, selling at a reasonable price in relation to their long-term earnings growth rates. The portfolio managers will allocate the fund’s assets among stocks in sectors of the economy based upon their expected earnings growth rates, adjusted to reflect their views on economic and market conditions and sector risk factors.
The fund will seek to generate current earnings from option premiums by writing (selling) covered call options on a substantial portion of its portfolio securities. The fund seeks to produce a high level of current income and current gains generated from option writing premiums and, to a lesser extent, from dividends. The extent of
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | Review of Period | April 30, 2010
Equity Income Fund (concluded)
option writing activity will depend upon market conditions and the portfolio manager’s ongoing assessment of the attractiveness of writing call options on the fund’s stock holdings. In addition to providing income, covered call writing helps to reduce the volatility (and risk profile) of the fund by providing downside protection.
U.S. stocks moved broadly higher during the six-month period ended April 30, 2010. Over this time frame, the S&P 500 Index rose 15.66%, continuing the strong rally off the March 2009 market bottom. The CBOE BuyWrite Monthly Index, which represents a passive covered call benchmark, gained 9.61% for the period. Optimism over a strong rebound in corporate earnings was a key driver for the stock market as investors who had moved to the sidelines, earning little in cash, were enticed back to stocks. Cyclical sectors excelled during the upturn with Industrial and Consumer Discretionary stocks leading the way. The Technology sector was the leader from the market bottom, however, profit taking and growth concerns lead to weaker relative performance in the early months of 2010. Defensively oriented sectors such as Health Care, Utilities and Consumer Staples were among the laggards. Market volatility moved steadily lower during most of the recent six-month period as the market moved higher in an orderly fashion. However, volatility increased meaningfully in late April as the market began to sell off on concerns about the European sovereign debt crisis. This resulted in an improvement in call option premiums.

The MEMBERS Equity Income Fund returned 4.70% (Class A shares at net asset value) for the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, which included the fund’s inception and "invest-up" period. Over the same period, the S&P 500 Index returned 15.66% and the CBOE BuyWrite Monthly Index returned 9.61%. As the fund inception coincided with the very strong upward move in the S&P 500 Index in late 2009, the initial cash was invested in a cautious manner given our concerns that a correction was in order. As such, the fund’s performance lagged the S&P 500 Index and the CBOE BuyWrite Monthly Index in the early portion of the period due to the higher than normal cash levels. The fund became more fully invested in early 2010.
We continue to add new individual companies to the portfolio on an opportunistic basis with a focus on high quality companies with strong financial and valuation characteristics. Given the very strong upward move in the overall stock market over the past 12 months, we remain relatively cautious given the potential for a market correction. The call option strategy has reflected our concerns as we have written (sold) call options relatively close-to-the-money in an effort to obtain the highest premiums possible in order to provide the portfolio with added downside protection. As volatility increased in late April 2010, option premiums became increasingly attractive.

LARGE CAP VALUE FUND
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS Large Cap Value Fund will, under normal market conditions, invest primarily in large cap stocks. The fund follows a "value" approach, meaning the portfolio managers seek to invest in stocks at prices below their perceived intrinsic value as estimated based on fundamental analysis of the issuing company and its prospects. By investing in value stocks, the fund attempts to limit the downside risk over time but may also produce smaller gains than other stock funds if their intrinsic values are not realized by the market or if growth-oriented investments are favored by investors. The fund will diversify its holdings among various industries and among companies within those industries. The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for buying it no longer apply, the price exceeds its intrinsic value or other stocks appear more attractively priced relative to their intrinsic values.
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, value stocks advanced 17.77% as measured by the Russell 1000¨ Value Index. Domestically, smaller stocks outperformed larger stocks as part of the trend which rewarded higher-risk assets. Optimism over a strong rebound in corporate earnings was a key driver for the stock market as investors who had moved to the sidelines, earning little in cash, were enticed back to stocks. Over the past six months, we saw value stocks return approximately triple what they have historically returned over a six-month period, and the fund fell short of its goal of adequately participating in a strong bull market.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the MEMBERS Large Cap Value Fund return of 12.76% (Class A shares at net asset value) lagged the Russell 1000¨ Value Index return of 17.77%. For the period, fund performance was negative across the ten major sectors versus the index. Results within the Consumer Discretionary sector detracted most from relative performance due to both stock selection and an underweight position versus the index. The fund’s worst performers came from a variety of sectors. Noble Corp. (Energy), Exelon Corp. (Utilities), Southwestern Energy (Energy), and Baxter International, Inc. (Health Care) all detracted meaningfully from relative performance. Stocks that had the most positive impact to performance versus the index were KeyCorp (Financials), AutoZone, Inc. (Consumer Discretionary), and Darden Restaurants, Inc (Consumer Discretionary). In addition, our decision to not invest in index-holding Exxon Mobil added to relative performance.

At the beginning of the six-month period, we were completing a portfolio restructuring to a more focused portfolio of 55-60 stocks. The most notable change to the portfolio during the period was a decrease in the Utilities sector weight from 4.8% to 2.3%. We eliminated Utility stocks Edison International and Questar Corp. Conversely, our Consumer Staples sector weight rose from 5.1% to 6.8%, as we added to existing positions and initiated a position in CVS Caremark Corporation. Our weight in the Financials sector also rose, from 22.6% to 24.1% as we added to existing positions and added new positions in the Insurance firms Berkshire Hathaway Inc. and The Travelers Company, Inc.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS Large Cap Growth Fund invests primarily in common stocks of larger companies and will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its assets in large cap stocks. The fund follows a "growth" approach, meaning the portfolio managers seek stocks that have low market prices relative to their perceived growth capabilities as estimated based on fundamental analysis of the issuing companies and their prospects. The fund typically seeks higher earnings growth capabilities in the stocks it purchases, and may include some companies undergoing more significant changes in their operations or experiencing significant changes in their markets. The fund will diversify its holdings among various industries and among companies within those industries. The fund has an active trading strategy which will lead to more portfolio turnover than a more passively-managed fund. The fund typically sells a stock when the fundamental expectations for buying it no longer apply, the price exceeds its perceived value or other stocks appear more attractively priced relative to their prospects.
Positive double digit returns were achieved by the stock market during the six-month period ended April 30, 2010. The market started the period near its low and ended the period near its high, with the Russell 1000¨ Growth Index up 15.79% for the entire period. Stocks benefitting from an economic recovery did especially well, as evidenced by above market returns in the Consumer Discretionary as well as the Industrial sectors. Generally, smaller companies did better than larger ones, as did those considered lower quality as measured by S&P ratings.

The fund had strong returns from Health Care, focusing on companies we determined to be likely beneficiaries of healthcare reform, such as HMS Holdings Corp., a Medicaid auditing company, which gained almost 25% in the six-month period. Boeing Co., another holding,
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | Review of Period | April 30, 2010
Large Cap Growth Fund (concluded)
was a stand out performer in the Industrial space, gaining over 50% for the period. In the Consumer area, our position in YUM! Brands, Inc., an investment geared towards increased fast food consumption in China, gained over 30%.
Performance was impeded by our Energy holdings, especially those related to natural gas. While oil prices held up for the period, natural gas prices declined, causing our positions in PetroHawk Energy Corp. and Southwestern Energy Co. to decline over 8%. Additionally, while our stock selection was good in the Consumer area, up over 26%, this is not an area of emphasis within the portfolio, given the chronic unemployment and the need for consumers to repay debt rather than spend. Our exposure to the Consumer area within the portfolio was only about half that of the benchmark and this detracted from performance.
The strength of the market move in the face of a spotty economic recovery allowed us to add to stocks of high conviction and take profits in those which have reached target prices or whose future remains uncertain. We sold Mastercard, Inc. due to a potential large legal liability; we sold Aflac, Inc. due to its European sovereign debt exposure; we took profits in UnitedHealth Group, Inc. as it reached our target price. We added to IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. since it will likely be a beneficiary of financial reform. We initiated a position in AECOM, an engineering and construction firm geared towards federal and state programs. Generally our focus remains on financially strong companies likely to thrive in what we believe is expected to be a sub par economic recovery.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS Mid Cap Fund generally invests in common stocks of midsize companies and will, under normal market conditions, maintain at least 80% of its assets in mid cap securities. However, the fund will not automatically sell a stock because its market capitalization has changed and such positions may be increased through additional purchases. The fund seeks attractive long-term returns through bottom-up security selection based on fundamental analysis in a diversified portfolio of high-quality growth companies with attractive valuations. These will typically be industry leading companies in niches with strong growth prospects. The fund’s portfolio managers believe in selecting stocks for the fund that show steady, sustainable growth and reasonable valuation. As a result, stocks of issuers that are believed to have a blend of both value and growth potential will be selected for investment. Stocks are generally sold when target prices are reached, company fundamentals deteriorate or more attractive stocks are identified.
During the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, mid cap stocks continued to rally as investors gained confidence in prospects of an economic recovery. Strong productivity gains and restrained capital spending have produced very healthy free cash flows and improving corporate balance sheets. Additionally, the Fed has continued to signal its intent to remain flexible and accommodative for the foreseeable future. Equity markets, and mid cap stocks in particular, have responded positively to these developments. The Russell Midcap¨ Index rose 24.93% during the period. Within the index, all sectors generated positive returns although the magnitude of returns varied. The best performing sectors were Consumer

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the MEMBERS Mid Cap Fund returned 17.98% (Class A shares at net asset value), underperforming the Russell Midcap¨ Index return of 24.93%.
Among the largest sources of weakness compared to the benchmark were our Information Technology, Industrials and Energy holdings. Computer communications equipment provider Brocade Communications Systems, Inc. was the worst performing Technology stock in the portfolio. Other notable underperforming stocks were natural gas exploration and production company Southwestern Energy Co. and oil driller Noble Corp.
Relative to the benchmark, stock picking was best in the Telecommunications sector due primarily to outperformance by wireless telecommunications provider Millicom International Cellular. Other leading performers came from a variety of sectors. Commercial real estate operating company Brookfield Properties Corp. (Financials), discount retailer Sears Holdings Corp. (Consumer Discretionary), mineral producer Cliffs Natural Resources, Inc. (Materials) and industrial distributor Fastenal Co. (Industrials) all contributed meaningfully to stock selection.
We increased our exposure to the financial sector during the six-month period, particularly in Insurance and Asset Management. We added to insurance broker Brown and Brown Inc., specialty insurer Markel Corp. and property & casualty insurer RLI Corp. Top positions include Brookfield Asset Management, Inc. and SEI Investments Co. We maintain an overweight position in Financials as we believe valuations are attractive.
We reduced our Industrial exposure during the period although we still have an overweight position. As the market priced in stronger economic prospects, valuations became less attractive, and we felt it prudent to reduce exposure and rotate into other stocks with better return prospects. We also slightly trimmed exposure in other sectors including Materials and Energy as valuations became less attractive.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS Small Cap Fund invests primarily in a diversified mix of common stocks of small cap U.S. companies that are believed to be undervalued by various measures and offer sound prospects for capital appreciation. The portfolio managers employ a value-oriented investment approach in selecting stocks, using proprietary fundamental research to identify securities of companies they believe have attractive valuations. The portfolio managers focus on companies with a record of above

average rates of profitability that sell at a discount relative to the overall small cap market. Through fundamental research, the portfolio managers seek to identify those companies which possess one or more of the following characteristics: sustainable competitive advantages within a market niche; strong profitability and free cash flows; strong market share positions and trends; quality of and share ownership by management; and financial structures that are more conservative than the relevant industry average.
The six-month period ended April 30, 2010 saw strong stock returns as generally solid earnings reports and a belief the economy is finding its footing provided a lift to equities. Value stocks (30.7%) outpaced growth (25.5%) for the period while small cap stocks (28.2%) led their larger peers (15.7%), as measured by the Russell 2000¨ Value, Russell 2000¨ Growth, Russell 2000¨, and S&P 500 Indices, respectively. Sector performance was strong, with all sectors of the benchmark posting gains for the period. Consumer Discretionary, Materials, and Financials led the market higher while Telecommunications Services and Utilities lagged, but posted double-digit returns.

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the MEMBERS Small Cap Fund returned 24.24% (Class A shares at net asset value), lagging the Russell 2000¨ Index return of 28.17%.
Consistent with the fund’s bottom-up focus, relative performance across sectors was driven primarily by stock selection. The fund benefited from strong security selection among its Financials, Industrials, and Information Technology holdings. Positive results in Financials were driven by regional banking and investment services provider Webster Financial Corp. and specialty investment company Ares Capital Corp. Bowne & Co. Inc., a shareholder, investor, and marketing communications company, and Albany International Corp., a producer of specialty fabric used in paper production, were leading contributors to Industrials returns. Other standouts included Whiting Petroleum Corp. (Energy) and Herbalife, Ltd. (Consumer Staples).
Among the largest sources of relative weakness were Consumer Discretionary, Materials, and Health Care holdings. Relative performance suffered in Consumer Discretionary due to investments in memorialization products company Matthews International Corp. and personal care and household products producer Helen of Troy, Ltd. Our position in cleaning products company Zep, Inc. hurt performance in Materials and our investments in contract research provider Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. and Amsurg Corp., a developer of ambulatory surgery centers, detracted in Health Care.
Sector allocation also negatively impacted relative performance primarily due to the fund’s higher than normal cash position in a rising market and above-benchmark weights in the Utilities and Consumer Staples sectors.
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | Review of Period | April 30, 2010
Small Cap Fund (concluded)
The fund’s investment approach emphasizes stock selection; sector weights are a residual of the bottom-up process. We do, however, carefully consider diversification across economic sectors to limit risk. Based on bottom-up stock decisions, the most notable changes to the fund during the period were increased exposure to Financials and a decreased exposure to Health Care. In Financials, we established new positions in AMERISAFE Inc., Northwest Bancshares Inc., and Education Realty Trust Inc. Exposure to Health Care fell as we eliminated our position in Centene Corp. and trimmed our investment in Universal American Corp.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
The MEMBERS International Stock Fund will invest, under normal market conditions, primarily in foreign equity securities. Typically, a majority of the fund’s assets are invested in relatively large capitalization stocks of companies located or operating in developed countries. The fund may also invest up to 30% of its assets in securities of companies whose principal business activities are located in emerging market countries. The portfolio managers typically maintain this segment of the fund’s portfolio in such stocks which it believes have a low market price relative to their perceived value based on fundamental analysis of the issuing company and its prospects. The fund may also invest in foreign debt and other income bearing securities at times when it believes that income bearing securities have greater capital appreciation potential than equity securities.
Over the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, stocks extended the rally that began in March 2009 amid signs of a continuing economic recovery. However, financial markets experienced some weakness and volatility over the period due to worries about sovereign debt in Europe, uncertainty over Chinese monetary policies, and proposals to overhaul the Financial sector. During the past six months, economically sensitive sectors, such as Information Technology, Industrials, Materials, and Consumer Discretionary, led the way. The traditionally defensive Utilities and Telecommunications Services sectors, however, lagged, as investors favored more cyclical sectors.

The MEMBERS International Stock Fund return of 3.04% (Class A shares at net asset value) outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index return of 2.68% over the six-month period ended April 30, 2010. Stock selection in the Telecommunication Services sector added to performance, as shares of Rogers Communications Inc. performed well due to expectations of increased benefits from continued digitization amid the global recovery. Holdings in BT Group, Idea Cellular, Ltd., and TELUS Corp. also added to returns within the sector.
Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary sector also helped returns. Informa performed especially well following its announcement of encouraging earnings, while Esprit Holdings, Ltd. rose due to optimism that the improving economy would further lift the company’s sales

International Stock Fund (concluded)
In the Financials sector, holdings across several industries helped performance, including Lloyds Banking Group, Standard Chartered, and Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. in the banks segment; Allianz in the insurance segment; and Daito Trust Construction Co., Ltd. and Mitsubishi Estate Co., Ltd. in real estate.
Stock selection in the Industrials sector was a detractor for the period. The Greek crisis has put pressure on the Italian and Spanish governments for fiscal reform, which negatively impacted Italian infrastructure group Atlantia. Holdings in Secom Co., Ltd., a Japanese security company, also detracted from returns over the period. Stock selection in the Consumer Staples sector also detracted from performance over the period. Heineken announced strong earnings, but guided weak volumes and further job cuts for 2010, which weighed on the shares. Unilever also fell due to profit-taking following the sharp appreciation of the stock in 2009.
At the end of the period, the fund had high exposure relative to the index in Health Care, Information Technology, Emerging Markets, U.S. dollar-based assets, and non-Eurozone Europe. The fund also ended the period with low exposure to Greece, the euro, Financials, Energy, Utilities, and Materials (commodities). The underweight position in the Eurozone and Continental Europe began in the second half of 2009 and was the residual of stock selection and a focus on higher quality. We had a general preference for investments in financial companies that are domiciled in countries with control of their monetary (currency) and fiscal policy. Given the weakness in the euro, we believe new investment opportunities may arise from the renewed exporter competitiveness of the Eurozone-based exporters. The portfolio team continues to focus on stock selection, seeking to find stocks with sustainably high or improving returns that are trading at attractive valuations.

1. ORGANIZATION
The MEMBERS Mutual Funds, a Delaware business trust (the "Trust"), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end, management investment company. As of the date of this report, the Trust offers thirteen funds (individually, a "fund," collectively, the "funds"). The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of the Trust without par value. The Trust has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Madison Asset Management, LLC (the "Investment Adviser"). The Investment Adviser, in turn, has entered into subadvisory agreements with certain subadvisers ("Subadvisers") for the management of the investments of the High Income Fund, Small Cap Fund, and the International Stock Fund. The accompanying financial statements include the Cash Reserves, Bond, High Income, Diversified Income, Equity Income, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap, Small Cap and International Stock Funds (collectively, the "Core Funds"), and the Conservative Allocation, Moderate Allocation, and Aggressive Allocation Funds (collectively, the "Target Allocation Funds"). The Core Funds, excluding the Cash Reserves, Diversified Income and Equity Income Funds, offer three classes of shares: Class A, B and Y, the Target Allocation Funds offer three classes of shares: Class A, B and C. The Cash Reserves Fund and the Diversified Income Fund, offer two classes of shares: Class A and B, and the Equity Income Fund offers two classes of shares: Class A and Y. Each class of shares represents an interest in the assets of the respective fund and has identical voting, dividend, liquidation and other rights, except that each class of shares bears its own distribution fees and servicing fees, if any, and its proportional share of fund level expenses, is subject to its own sales charges, if any, and has exclusive voting rights on matters pertaining to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act as it relates to that class and other class-specific matters.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements 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 income and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Portfolio Valuation: Securities and other investments are valued as follows: Equity securities and exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") listed on any U.S. or foreign stock exchange or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last quoted sale price or official closing price on that exchange or NASDAQ on the valuation day (provided that, for securities traded on NASDAQ, the Funds utilize the NASDAQ Official Closing Price). If no sale occurs, (a) equities traded on a U.S. exchange or on NASDAQ are valued at the mean between the closing bid and closing asked prices and (b) equity securities traded on a foreign exchange are valued at the official bid price. Debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 61 days or more are valued by a pricing service selected by the Trust or on the basis of dealer-supplied quotations. Investments in shares of open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their daily net asset value ("NAV") which is calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 3:00 p.m. Central Time) on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for business. NAV per share is determined by dividing each fund’s total net assets by the number of shares of such fund outstanding at the time of calculation. Total net assets are determined by adding the total current value of portfolio securities, cash, receivables, and other assets and subtracting liabilities. Because the assets of the Target Allocation Funds consist primarily of shares of underlying funds, the NAV of each Target Allocation Fund is determined based on the NAVs of the underlying funds. Short-term instruments having maturities of 60 days or less and all securities in the Cash Reserves Fund are valued on an amortized cost basis, which approximates market value.
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | April 30, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
Over-the-counter securities not listed or traded on NASDAQ are valued at the last sale price on the valuation day. If no sale occurs on the valuation day, an over-the-counter security is valued at the mean between the last bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter options are valued based upon prices provided by market makers in such securities or dealers in such currencies. Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale or bid price on the exchange where such option contract is principally traded except for the Equity Income Fund where they are valued at the mean of the best bid and best ask prices across all option exchanges. Financial futures contracts generally are valued at the settlement price established by the exchange(s) on which the contracts are primarily traded. The Funds’ Pricing Committee (the "Committee") shall estimate the fair value of futures positions affected by the daily limit by using its valuation procedures for determining fair value, when necessary. Spot and forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued based on quotations supplied by dealers in such contracts. Overnight repurchase agreements are valued at cost, and term repurchase agreements (i.e., those whose maturity exceeds seven days), swaps, caps, collars and floors are valued at the average of the closing bids obtained daily from at least one dealer.
Through the end of this reporting period, the value of all assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies was converted into U.S. dollar values using the then current exchange rate as of Noon Eastern Standard Time on each day that the New York Stock Exchange was open for business. Effective May 10, 2010, the values will be converted using the then current exchange rate at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time).
All other securities for which either quotations are not readily available, no other sales have occurred, or in the Investment Adviser’s opinion, do not reflect the current market value, are appraised at their fair values as determined in good faith by the Committee and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. When fair value pricing of securities is employed, the prices of securities used by the Funds to calculate NAV may differ from market quotations or official closing prices. Because the Target Allocation Funds primarily invest in underlying funds, government securities and short-term paper, it is not anticipated that the Investment Adviser will need to "fair" value any of the investments of these funds. However, an underlying fund may need to "fair" value one or more of its investments, which may, in turn, require a Target Allocation Fund to do the same because of delays in obtaining the underlying fund’s NAV.
A fund’s investments (or underlying fund) will be valued at fair value if, in the judgment of the Committee, an event impacting the value of an investment occurred between the closing time of a security’s primary market or exchange (for example, a foreign exchange or market) and the time the fund’s share price is calculated at as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time). Significant events may include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) significant fluctuations in domestic markets, foreign markets or foreign currencies; (2) occurrences not directly tied to the securities markets such as natural disasters, armed conflicts or significant government actions; and (3) major announcements affecting a single issuer or an entire market or market sector. In responding to a significant event, the Committee would determine the fair value of affected securities considering factors including, but not limited to: fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investment; and the forces influencing the market(s) in which the investment is purchased or sold. The Committee may rely on an independent fair valuation service to adjust the valuations of foreign equity securities based on specific market-movement parameters established by the Committee and approved by the Funds.
Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Net realized gains or losses on sales are determined by the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date. Amortization and accretion are recorded on the effective yield method.
Federal Income Taxes: It is each fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all it’s taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provisions for federal income taxes are recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | April 30, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
The funds have not recorded any liabilities for material unrecognized tax benefits as of April 30, 2010. It is the funds’ policy to recognize accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax benefits in income taxes, as appropriate. Tax years that remain open to examination by major tax jurisdictions include tax years ended October 31, 2006 through October 31, 2009.
Expenses: Expenses that are directly related to one fund are charged directly to that fund. Other operating expenses are prorated to the funds on the basis of relative net assets. Class-specific expenses are borne by that class.
Classes: Income and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative net assets.
Repurchase Agreements: Each fund may engage in repurchase agreements. In a repurchase agreement, a security is purchased for a relatively short period (usually not more than 7 days) subject to the obligation to sell it back to the issuer at a fixed time and price plus accrued interest. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only with members of the Federal Reserve System and with "primary dealers" in U.S. Government securities. As of April 30, 2010, only the Equity Income Fund had open repurchase agreements.
The Trust has established a procedure providing that the securities serving as collateral for each repurchase agreement must be delivered to the funds’ custodian either physically or in book-entry form and that the collateral must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully collateralized at all times. In the event of bankruptcy or other default by a seller of a repurchase agreement, a fund could experience one of the following: delays in liquidating the underlying securities during the period in which the fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, possible subnormal levels of income, declines in value of the underlying securities, or lack of access to income during this period and the expense of enforcing its rights.
Foreign Currency Transactions: The books and records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency denominated transactions (i.e., market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities, purchases and sales of investment securities, and income and expenses) are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange.
Each fund, except the Cash Reserves Fund, reports certain foreign currency-related transactions as components of realized gains or losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. Net realized gains of $496,085 are included in the Statements of Operations under the heading "Net realized loss on investments" for the International Stock Fund. The Cash Reserves Fund can only invest in U.S. dollar-denominated foreign money market securities.
The funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to change in market prices of securities. Such amounts are categorized as gain or loss on investments for financial reporting purposes.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts: Each fund, except the Cash Reserves Fund, may purchase and sell forward foreign currency exchange contracts for defensive or hedging purposes. When entering into forward foreign currency exchange contracts, the funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. These contracts are valued daily. The funds’ net assets reflect unrealized gains or losses on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign currency exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date. The funds realize a gain or a loss at the time the forward foreign currency exchange contracts are settled or closed out with an offsetting contract. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. As of April 30, 2010, none of the funds had open forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | April 30, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
If a fund enters into a forward foreign currency exchange contract to buy foreign currency for any purpose, the fund will be required to place cash or other liquid assets in a segregated account with the fund’s custodian in an amount equal to the value of the fund’s total assets committed to the consummation of the forward contract. If the value of the securities in the segregated account declines, additional cash or securities will be placed in the segregated account so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the fund’s commitment with respect to the contract.
Futures Contracts: Each fund, except the Cash Reserves Fund, may purchase and sell futures contracts and purchase and write options on futures contracts. The funds will engage in futures contracts or related options transactions to hedge certain market positions. Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is 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 (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," are made or received by the fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the futures contract. When a fund enters into a futures contract, the fund segregates cash or other liquid securities, of any type or maturity, equal in value to the fund’s commitment. The fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily change in the value of the futures contracts. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. As of April 30, 2010, none of the Funds had open futures contracts.
Delayed Delivery Securities: Each fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. "When-issued" refers to securities whose terms are available and for which a market exists, but that have not been issued. For when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, no payment is made until delivery date, which is typically longer than the normal course of settlement, and often a month or more after the purchase. When a fund enters into an agreement to purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis, the fund segregates cash or other liquid securities, of any type or maturity, equal in value to the fund’s commitment. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities, if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors. As of April 30, 2010, the High Income Fund had entered into such transactions, the market values of which are identified in the fund’s Portfolio of Investments.
Reclassification Adjustments: Paid-in capital, undistributed net investment income, and accumulated net realized gain (loss) have been adjusted in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities for permanent book-tax differences for all funds. Differences primarily relate to the tax treatment of net operating losses, paydown gains and losses, foreign currency gains and losses, and distributions from real estate investment trusts and passive foreign investment companies.
Redemption Fees: The Small Cap and the International Stock Funds will deduct a fee of 2% from redemption proceeds on Class A and Class B shares held 30 calendar days or less. Redemption fees are treated as additional paid-in capital to the fund from which the shares are redeemed and are designed to help offset any costs associated with short-term shareholder trading.
Fair Value Measurements: Each fund has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that each fund would receive upon selling an investment in, or pay to transfer a liability in, an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment or liability. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data "inputs" and minimize the use of unobservable "inputs" and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | April 30, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed on the next page:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
In April 2009, the FASB also issued guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset/liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.
The valuation techniques used by the funds to measure fair value for the period ended April 30, 2010 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. The funds utilized the following fair value techniques: multi-dimensional relational pricing model and option adjusted spread pricing; the funds estimated the price that would have prevailed in a liquid market for an international equity security given information available at the time of evaluation.

Derivatives: In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance intended to enhance financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge fund items are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items affect a fund’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. This guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The funds adopted this guidance effective November 1, 2009 with the inception of the Equity Income Fund.
The following table presents the types of derivatives in the Equity Income Fund (i.e., MENAX) by location as presented on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of April 30, 2010:

Management has determined that there is no impact on the financial statements of the other funds held in the Trust as they currently do not hold derivative financial instruments.
New Accounting Pronouncements: In January, 2010, amended guidance was issued by FASB for fair value measurement disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. In the period of initial adoption, the funds will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. However, those disclosures are required for periods ending after the initial adoption. The impact of this guidance on the funds’ financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.
3. ADVISORY, ADMINISTRATION AND DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS
Advisory Agreement. For its investment advisory services to the Funds, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive a fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly, at an annualized percentage rate of the average daily value of the net assets of each fund as follows: 0.20% for the Conservative, Moderate and Aggressive Allocation Funds (collectively, the "Target Allocation Funds") ; 0.40% for the Cash Reserves Fund; 0.50% for the Bond Fund; 0.55% for the High Income Fund; 0.65% for the Diversified Income Fund; 0.85% for the Equity Income Fund; 0.55% for the Large Cap Value Fund; 0.75% for the Large Cap Growth Fund; 0.75% for the Mid Cap Fund; 1.00% for the Small Cap Fund; and 1.05% for the International Stock Fund. Except for the Target Allocations Funds and the Equity Income Fund, each fund’s management fee will be reduced by 0.05% on assets exceeding $500 million, and by another 0.05% on assets exceeding $1 billion. The Investment Adviser is solely
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | April 30, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
responsible for the payment of all fees to the Subadvisers. The Subadvisers for the funds at April 30, 2010, are Shenkman Capital Management, Inc. for the High Income Fund, Wellington Management Company, LLP for the Small Cap Fund, and Lazard Asset Management LLC for the International Stock Fund.
The Investment Adviser may from time to time voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. In that regard, the Investment Adviser waived a portion of management fees on the Cash Reserves Fund Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the purpose of maintaining a one–day yield of zero. The amount of the daily waiver is equal to the amount required to maintain a minimum daily distribution rate of zero. For the six–month period ended April 30, 2010, the waivers totaled $26,734 for Class A Shares and $5,139 for Class B Shares and are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Services Agreement. The Investment Adviser provides or arranges for each fund to have all of the necessary operational and support services it needs for a fee. These fees are computed daily and paid monthly, at an annualized percentage rate of the average daily value of the net assets of each fund as follows: 0.25% for each of the Conservative, Moderate and Aggressive Allocation Funds; 0.15% for the Cash Reserves Fund; 0.15% for the Bond Fund; 0.20% for the High Income Fund; 0.20% for the Diversified Income Fund; 0.15% for the Equity Income Fund; 0.36% for the Large Cap Value Fund; 0.20% for the Large Cap Growth Fund; 0.40% for the Mid Cap Fund; 0.25% for the Small Cap Fund; and 0.30% for the International Stock Fund. While the Funds pay the expenses of the Funds’ Independent Trustees and independent auditors directly (the "Direct Fees"), these expenses come out of the service fee so that they do not represent an additional expense to the funds above and beyond the service fee.
The Investment Adviser may from time to time voluntarily agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. In that regard, the Investment Adviser waived a portion of service agreement fees on the Cash Reserves Fund Class A Shares and Class B Shares for the purpose of maintaining a one–day yield of zero. The amount of the daily waiver is equal to the amount required to maintain a minimum daily distribution rate of zero. For the six–month period ended April 30, 2010, the waivers totaled $1,744 for Class A Shares and $333 for Class B Shares and are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Distribution Agreement. Mosaic Funds Distributor, LLC ("MFD") serves as distributor of the funds. The Trust adopted distribution and/or service plans (the "Plans") with respect to the Trust’s Class A, B, and C shares pursuant to Rule 12b–1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plans, the Trust will pay service fees to MFD for Class A, Class B, and Class C shares at an aggregate annual rate of 0.25% of each fund’s daily net assets attributable to the respective class of shares for all funds except the Cash Reserves Fund. The Trust will also pay distribution fees to MFD for Class B and Class C shares at an aggregate annual rate of 0.75% of each fund’s daily net assets attributable to their respective classes. The distribution fees are used to reimburse MFD for its distribution expenses with respect to Class B and Class C only, including but not limited to: (1) initial and ongoing sales compensation to selling brokers and others engaged in the sale of fund shares, (2) marketing, promotional and overhead expenses incurred in connection with the distribution of fund shares, and (3) interest expenses on unreimbursed distribution expenses. The service fees are used by MFD to compensate selling brokers and others for providing personal and account maintenance services to shareholders. Fees incurred by the funds under the Plans are detailed in the statement of operations.
Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") do not represent expenses of the funds. Rather, they are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable, and paid to MFD. MFD, in turn, uses a portion of these fees to pay financial advisors who sell fund shares, as disclosed in the prospectus. The sales charges retained by MFD from the sales of shares (Class A shares) and the CDSC retained by MFD on the redemption of shares (Class A, B and C shares) for the period November 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, were as follows:

The distributor may from time to time voluntary agree to waive a portion of its fees or expenses related to the funds. In that regard, the distributor waived a portion of 12b-1 fees on the Cash Reserves Fund Class B Shares for the purpose of maintaining a one-day yield of zero. The amount of the daily waiver is equal to the amount required to maintain a minimum daily distribution rate of zero. For the six-month period ended April 30, 2010, the waivers totaled $9,639 and are reflected as fees waived in the accompanying Statement of Operations.
Officers and Trustees. Certain officers and trustees of the funds are also officers of the Investment Adviser. The funds do not compensate their officers or affiliated trustees. Unaffiliated trustees receive from the Trust an attendance fee for each Board or Committee meeting attended, with additional remuneration paid to the "lead" trustee and audit committee chair.
4. DIVIDENDS FROM NET INCOME AND DISTRIBUTIONS OF CAPITAL GAINS
With respect to dividends from net investment income, the Cash Reserves Fund declares dividends, if any, daily and reinvests monthly. The Bond Fund, High Income Fund and Diversified Income Fund declare and reinvest dividends, if any, monthly. The Conservative Allocation and Equity Income Funds declare and reinvest dividends, if any, quarterly. The Moderate Allocation, Aggressive Allocation, Large Cap Value Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Mid Cap Fund, Small Cap Fund, and the International Stock Fund declare and reinvest dividends, if any, annually. The funds distribute net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, to shareholders annually.
Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Taxable distributions from income and realized capital gains in the Funds differ from book amounts earned during the period due to differences in the timing of capital gains recognition, and due to the reclassification of certain gains or losses from capital to income. Dividends from net investment income are determined on a class level. Capital gains are determined on a fund level.
5. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS
For the six months ended April 30, 2010, aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short–term investments, were as follows:

6. COVERED CALL OPTIONS
The Equity Income Fund will pursue its primary objective by employing an option strategy of writing (selling) covered call options on common stocks. The number of call options the fund can write (sell) is limited by the amount of equity securities the fund holds in its portfolio. The fund will not write (sell) "naked" or uncovered call options. The fund seeks to produce a high level of current income and gains generated from option writing premiums and, to a lesser extent, from dividends.
Transactions in option contracts during the period ended April 30, 2010 were as follows:

Options outstanding, beginning of period | – | $ – |
Options written during the period | 10,000 | 1,935,817 |

7. FOREIGN SECURITIES
Each fund may invest in foreign securities, however, the Cash Reserves Fund is limited to U.S. dollar–denominated foreign money market securities. Foreign securities refer to securities that are: (1) issued by companies organized outside the U.S. or whose principal operations are outside the U.S., (2) issued by foreign governments or their agencies or instrumentalities, (3) principally traded outside the U.S., or (4) quoted or denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign securities include American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs"), Global Depositary Receipts ("GDRs"), Swedish Depositary Receipts ("SDRs") and foreign money market securities. Dollar–denominated securities that are part of the Merrill Lynch U.S. Domestic Master Index are not considered a foreign security.
Certain of the funds have reclaim receivable balances, in which the funds are due a reclaim on the taxes that have been paid to some foreign jurisdictions. The values of all reclaims are not significant for any of the funds and are reflected in Other Assets on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. On a periodic basis, these receivables are reviewed to ensure the current receivable balance is reflective of the amount deemed to be collectible.
8. SECURITIES LENDING
Each fund, except the Target Allocation, Cash Reserves, Small Cap and Equity Income Funds, entered into a Securities Lending Agreement (the "Agreement") with State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street"). Under the terms of the Agreement, the funds may lend portfolio securities to qualified borrowers in order to earn additional income. The Agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times by cash or other liquid assets at least equal to 102% of the value of the securities, which is determined on a daily basis. At April 30, 2010, none of the funds had securities out on loan.
Amounts earned as interest on investments of cash collateral, net of rebates and fees, if any, are included in the Statement of Operations.
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | April 30, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
The primary risk associated with securities lending is if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the funds could experience delays and costs in recovering securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral.
The funds did not transact in securities lending for the six-month period ended April 30, 2010.

The differences between cost amounts for book purposes and tax purposes are primarily due to the tax deferral of losses.
10. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
Investing in certain financial instruments, including forward foreign currency contracts and futures contracts, involves certain risks, other than that reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Risks associated with these instruments include potential for an illiquid secondary market for the instruments or inability of counterparties to perform under the terms of the contracts, changes in the value of foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and financial statement volatility resulting from an imperfect correlation between the movements in the prices of the instruments and the prices of the underlying securities and interest rates being hedged. The High Income Fund, Mid Cap Fund, and International Stock Fund enter into these contracts primarily to protect these funds from adverse currency movements.
MEMBERS Mutual Funds | April 30, 2010
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
Investing in foreign securities involves certain risks not necessarily found in U.S. markets. These include risks associated with adverse changes in economic, political, regulatory and other conditions, changes in currency exchange rates, exchange control regulations, expropriation of assets or nationalization, imposition of withholding taxes on dividend or interest payments or capital gains, and possible difficulty in obtaining and enforcing judgments against foreign entities. Further, issuers of foreign securities are subject to different, and often less comprehensive, accounting, reporting and disclosure requirements than domestic issuers.
The High Income Fund invests in securities offering high current income which generally will include bonds in the below investment grade categories of recognized rating agencies (so-called "junk bonds"). These securities generally involve more credit risk than securities in the higher rating categories. In addition, the trading market for high yield securities may be relatively less liquid than the market for higher-rated securities. The fund generally invests at least 80% of its assets in high yield securities.
The Equity Income Fund invests in options on securities. As the writer of a covered call option, the fund forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security at the exercise price.
The Target Allocation Funds are structured as fund of funds, meaning that they invest primarily in the shares of other registered investment companies (the "underlying funds"), including ETFs. Thus, each fund’s investment performance and its ability to achieve its investment goal are directly related to the performance of the underlying funds in which it invests; and the underlying fund’s performance, in turn, depends on the particular securities in which that underlying fund invests and the expenses of that fund. Accordingly, the Target Allocation Funds are subject to the risks of the underlying funds in direct proportion to the allocation of their respective assets among the underlying funds.
Additionally, the Target Allocation Funds are subject to asset allocation risk and manager risk. Manager risk (i.e., fund selection risk) is the risk that the fund(s) selected to fulfill a particular asset class under performs their peer. Asset allocation risk is the risk that the allocation of the fund’s assets among the various asset classes and market segments will cause the fund to under perform other funds with a similar investment objective.

FUND EXPENSES PAID BY SHAREHOLDERS
As a shareholder of the funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b–1) fees; and other fund expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples below are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period ended April 30, 2010. Expenses paid during the period in the tables below are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one–half fiscal year period).
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values using actual expenses and actual returns for the funds. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table for the fund you own under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare the 5% hypothetical example of the funds you own with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other similar funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in both tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. The information provided in the hypothetical example table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
