1. Organization
CM Advisors Fund, CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund, CM Advisors Opportunity Fund and CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund (collectively the “Funds” and individually a “Fund”) are each a series of CM Advisors Family of Funds (the “Trust”), which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company.
CM Advisors Fund commenced operations on May 13, 2003. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital.
CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund commenced operations on April 15, 2011. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital.
CM Advisors Opportunity Fund commenced operations on November 1, 2010. The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital.
CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund commenced operations on March 24, 2006. The investment objective of the Fund is to preserve capital and maximize total return.
CM Advisors Fund currently offers two classes of shares: Class I shares (sold without any sales loads and distribution and/or service fees) and Class R shares (sold without any sales loads but subject to a distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares). Each class of shares represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund, has the same rights and is identical in all material respects except that (1) the classes bear differing levels of distribution fees, if any; (2) certain other class specific expenses will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable; (3) each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its own distribution arrangements; and (4) Class I shares require a higher minimum initial investment. Prior to June 29, 2012, a third class, Class C shares, was also offered by the Fund. Class C shares were sold without any sales load but were subject to a distribution and/or service fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Class C shares. On June 29, 2012, the offering of Class C shares of the CM Advisors Fund was discontinued and all outstanding shares were redeemed.
CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund currently offers three classes of shares: Class I shares (sold without any sales loads and distribution and/or service fees), Class C shares (sold without any sales loads but subject to a distribution and/or service fee of up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class C shares) and Class R shares (sold without any sales loads but subject to a distribution and/or service fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Class R shares). Each class of shares represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund, has the same rights and is identical in all material respects except that (1) the classes bear differing levels of distribution fees, if any; (2) certain other class specific expenses will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable; (3) each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters relating to its own distribution arrangements; and (4) Class I shares require a higher minimum initial investment.

2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Investment Valuation – The Funds’ portfolio securities are generally valued at their market values determined on the basis of available market quotations as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price. Securities which are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. It is expected that fixed income securities will ordinarily be traded in the over-the-counter market. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available (e.g., if the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early or if trading of the particular portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Funds’ net asset value calculations) or which cannot be accurately valued using the Funds’ normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Board of Trustees and will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see below), depending on the inputs used. A portfolio security’s “fair value” price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Funds’ normal pricing procedures. Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
For example, Corporate Bonds and U.S. Treasury Obligations held by CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund are classified as Level 2 since values are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various “other significant observable inputs” including bid and ask quotations, prices of similar securities and interest rates, among other factors.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure the fair value of a particular security may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement of that security falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
As of August 31, 2012, the Funds did not have any transfers in and out of any Level. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments or assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of August 31, 2012. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of any Level at the end of the reporting period.
Share Valuation and Redemption Fees – The net asset value per share of each class of shares of CM Advisors Fund and CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund is calculated on each business day by dividing the total value of the assets attributable to that class, less liabilities attributable to that class, by the number of shares of that class outstanding. The net asset value per share of CM Advisors Opportunity Fund and CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund is calculated on each business day by dividing the total value of each Fund’s assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of each Class and each Fund is equal to the net asset value per share, except that shares of each Class and each Fund are subject to a redemption fee of 1%, payable to the applicable Fund, if redeemed within 180 days of the date of purchase. During the periods ended August 31, 2012 and February 29, 2012, proceeds from redemption fees were as follows:
| | Six Months Ended August 31, 2012 | | | Period Ended February 29, 2012 | |
CM Advisors Fund - Class I | | $ | 947 | | | $ | 5,982 | |
CM Advisors Fund - Class R | | $ | 204 | | | $ | — | |
CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund - Class I | | $ | — | | | $ | 543 | |
CM Advisors Opportunity Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | 186 | |
CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund | | $ | 5,796 | | | $ | 5,841 | |
There were no redemption fees for Class C shares of CM Advisors Fund or Class C and Class R shares of CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund during the periods ended August 31, 2012 and February 29, 2012.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities purchased are amortized using the effective interest method. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.
Expenses – The Funds bear expenses incurred specifically on their behalf as well as a portion of general Trust expenses, which are allocated according to methods authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Allocation Between Classes – Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of CM Advisors Fund and CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses which are not attributable to a specific class are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of each Fund.
CM Advisors Family of Funds |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
Dividend Distributions – Dividends arising from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly to shareholders of each Fund. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are generally declared and distributed annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature and are primarily due to differing treatments of net short-term gains. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The tax character of distributions paid during the periods ended August 31, 2012 and February 29, 2012 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
CM Advisors Fund - Class I | 08/31/12 | | $ | 33,477 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 33,477 | |

| 02/29/12 | | $ | 3,571,380 | | | $ | 212,034 | | | $ | 3,783,414 | |
During the periods ended August 31, 2012 and February 29, 2012, no distributions were paid by Class C shares of CM Advisors Fund.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
3. Federal Income Tax
It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the special provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so qualifies, and distributes at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but not the shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income distributed. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes has been made.
CM Advisors Family of Funds |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also each Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.
The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of August 31, 2012:
| | | | | CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund | | | CM Advisors Opportunity Fund | | | CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund | |
Tax cost of portfolio investments | | $ | 114,535,064 | | | $ | 8,780,720 | | | $ | 1,711,704 | | | $ | 96,231,681 | |

Other gains (losses) | | | 7,395,171 | | | | 369,099 | | | | (35,223 | ) | | | 1,145,109 | |
Accumulated earnings (deficit) | | $ | (31,260,197 | ) | | $ | 771,200 | | | $ | (53,193 | ) | | $ | 6,587,581 | |
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after February 28, 2011 may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Under the law in effect prior to the Act, pre-enactment net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that post-enactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses. Therefore, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards are more likely to expire unused.
As of February 29, 2012, CM Advisors Fund and CM Advisors Opportunity Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for income tax purposes:
| | | | | CM Advisors Opportunity Fund | |
Expires February 28, 2017 - short-term | | $ | 8,868,813 | | | $ | — | |
Expires February 28, 2018 - short-term | | | 30,960,235 | | | | — | |
No expiration - short-term | | | — | | | | 19,099 | |
| | $ | 39,829,048 | | | $ | 19,099 | |
In addition, CM Advisors Fund and CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund had net realized losses of $8,064,209 and $164,327, respectively, during the period November 1, 2011 through February 29, 2012 (“post-October” losses), which are treated for federal income tax purposes as arising during each Fund’s tax year ending February 28, 2013. These capital loss carryforwards and post-October losses may be utilized in the current and future years to offset net realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.
CM Advisors Family of Funds |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
The Funds recognize the benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended February 28, 2009 through February 29, 2012) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements.

5. Transactions with Affiliates
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Funds pay a monthly advisory fee to Van Den Berg Management I, Inc.

The Advisor has entered into contractual agreements (the “Expense Limitation Agreements”) with each Fund under which it has agreed to waive its fees and to assume other expenses of the Funds, if necessary, in an amount that limits the Funds’ total operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses, and payments, if any, under a Rule 12b-1 plan) to not more than 1.50% of the average daily net assets of CM Advisors Fund, CM Advisors Opportunity Fund and CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund and not more than 1.25% of the average daily net assets of CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund, each until July 1, 2013. There can be no assurance that the Expense Limitation Agreements will continue beyond July 1, 2013. Accordingly, during the six months ended August 31, 2012, with respect to CM Advisors Fund, the Advisor reimbursed the Fund for $21,019 of Class C expenses and $14,846 of Class R expenses; with respect to CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund, the Advisor waived its entire investment advisory fee of $46,428 and reimbursed the Fund for $16,493 of common expenses, $17,219 of Class I expenses, $14,782 of Class C expenses and $14,960 of Class R expenses; with respect to CM Advisors Opportunity Fund, the Advisor waived its entire investment advisory fee of $10,963 and reimbursed the Fund for $58,256 of other operating expenses. During the six months ended August 31, 2012, there were no advisory fees waived or expenses reimbursed by the Advisor for CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund.
Certain Trustees and Officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor.

Note 7. Sector Risk
If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers in industries within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss of an investment in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value per share. As of August 31, 2012, CM Advisors Fund had 27.7% and 24.5%, respectively, of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Industrials and Information Technology sectors, CM Advisors Small Cap Value Fund had 49.7% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Industrials sector and CM Advisors Opportunity Fund had 24.4% of the value of its net assets invested in the stocks within the Information Technology sector. From time to time, a particular set of circumstances may affect one of these sectors or certain companies within the sectors, while having little or no impact on other sectors or other companies with the sectors. For instance, economic
CM Advisors Family of Funds |
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued) |
or market factors, regulation or deregulation, and technological or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector and therefore the value of the Funds’ portfolios will be adversely affected.
8. Contingencies and Commitments
The Funds indemnify the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
9. Subsequent Events
The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of the financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events except as reflected in the following paragraph.
At a meeting held on October 26, 2012, the Board of Trustees of the Trust determined to discontinue the operations of CM Advisors Opportunity Fund. It is anticipated that all outstanding shares of the Fund will be redeemed and that the Fund will discontinue operations on or about December 14, 2012. The Adviser will continue to waive fees and reimburse expenses of the Fund, as necessary, in order to maintain fees and expenses at their current level.

About Your Funds’ Expenses (Unaudited) |
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your investment. As a shareholder of the Funds, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Ongoing costs, which are deducted from each Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Funds.
A mutual fund’s ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the 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 made at the beginning of the most recent semi-annual period (March 1, 2012) and held until the end of the period (August 31, 2012).
The table below illustrates each Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual fund return – This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from each Fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount of expenses that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Funds. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the ongoing costs that you paid over the period.
To do so, 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 given for the Funds under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% return – This section is intended to help you compare the Funds’ ongoing costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that each Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the Funds’ actual returns, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the SEC requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess each Fund’s ongoing costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you compare ongoing costs only. The Funds do not impose any sales loads. However, a redemption fee of 1% is charged on the sale of shares within 180 days of the date of their purchase.
The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
More information about the Funds’ expenses, including annual expense ratios, can be found in this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the Funds’ prospectus.
