To Our Shareholders:
An important lesson that I learned many years ago about the importance of preservation of capital has been reinforced during the past few years. Some investors are learning it for the first time and it has been a painful and lengthy lesson. The chart below is an excellent and useful tool to illustrate the importance of preservation of capital.
$10,000 initial investment becomes: | Rate of Return | Return Required to Return to “Breakeven” (Rounded) |
$9000 | -10% | 11% |
$8000 | -20% | 25% |
$7500 | -25% | 33% |
$5000 | -50% | 100% |
$2500 | -75% | 300% |
There is a common market saying to “cut your losses short and let your winners run.” Some investors use strict rules like placing limit orders to sell at 10% under the purchase price of a security. Others absolutely refuse to “average down.” These strict methods might make sense for short term traders using technical analysis or momentum style of management, but they tend to be less useful for long term investors, particularly value investors that are often buying “out of favor” merchandise to begin with. Many of our holdings over the years that have provided substantial favorable returns have dropped by more than 10% after the initial purchase and we have benefited by purchasing additional shares at lower prices.
For fundamental or “value” investors, performing proper due diligence to minimize the risk of impairment of capital is the best defense. Since we cannot know the unknowable, otherwise known as “_______ happens”, large losses on individual holdings are unfortunately inevitable. However, with proper diversification and prudent management, the impact and frequency can be held to a minimum.

ELECTRIC CITY FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 2003 (UNAUDITED)
1.) ORGANIZATION:
Electric City Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Company was organized in Maryland as a Corporation and may offer shares of beneficial interest in a number of separate series, each series representing a distinct fund with its own investment objectives and policies. At present, there are two series authorized by the Company, the Electric City Value Fund (the “Value Fund”) and the Electric City Dividend Growth Fund (the “Dividend Growth Fund”).
The Value Fund commenced investment operations on December 30, 1999. The Fund's primary investment objective is to build shareholder wealth by maximizing the total return of the Fund’s portfolio. Total return is derived by combining the total changes in the principal value of all the Fund’s investments with the total dividends and interest paid to the Fund.
The Dividend Growth Fund commenced investment operations on January 4, 2002. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to build shareholder wealth by investing in the securities of companies that are, or have the potential to, pay increasing dividends over time.
2.) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
SECURITY VALUATION:
The Funds intend to invest in a wide variety of equity and debt securities. The investments in securities are carried at market value. The market quotation used for common stocks, including those listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, is the last sale price on the date on which the valuation is made or, in the absence of sales, at the closing bid price. Over-the-counter securities will be valued on the basis of the bid price at the close of each business day. Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors.
Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. When prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, subject to review of the Board of Directors. Short term investments in fixed inc ome securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.
SECURITY TRANSACTION TIMING:

Interest income is recorded as earned. The Funds use the identified cost basis in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
INCOME TAXES:
It is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. This Internal Revenue Service

requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.
ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
OPTION WRITING:
When either of the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting the closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or lo ss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
OTHER:
Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid in capital for the Value Fund.
