FALLEN ANGELS FAMILY OF FUNDS
THE FALLEN ANGELS VALUE FUND
THE FALLEN ANGELS INCOME FUND
July 31, 2007
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
Since the Fallen Angels Value Fund commenced investment operations on 11/10/06 the Fund has returned 3.62%, due in part to our defensive actions and large cash holdings. In that same time period, the S&P 500 has returned 6.61%. Although over the short run our decision to maintain large cash positions since inception has typically resulted in less downside than the S&P 500 on difficult market days, this has been at the price of less upside during strong market days. Over the long-run, however, we believe our patience will pay off as we have “dry powder” available to be invested in future opportunities.
The name "Fallen Angels" is an old Wall Street term to describe securities that may be on sale. Our objective is to buy great investments when they are both cheap and timely. We typically look for companies that have temporarily declined in price, but have a long history of compounding wealth for shareholders. If a company’s book value is compounding at a 15% or 20% annual rate, time becomes our ally.
Given that our timeframe is generally 3 to 5 years, we can be patient while waiting for the market's sales event which, in our mind is inevitable. Business and market cycles have a long history, and the current downturn came pretty much on schedule. Harkening back to previous shakeouts in America's 230 year history, we believe firmly that market volatility and disruptions will continue to provide the greatest opportunities for building wealth. We will try to swing only at the slow pitches down the middle that our analysis indicates have the highest probability for profit.
After shrugging off a one day Dow Jones Industrial Average Index decline of more than 400 points in late February, U.S. equity markets rallied through early July. By July 13th, 2007 the Value Fund had increased more than 9% year-to-date (while holding between 10% and 20% in cash for most of this period). Strong corporate balance sheets, the seemingly impenetrable leveraged buyout boom, and a robust global economy overshadowed any negative news about U.S. housing or troubled hedge funds.
By mid July, however, the greed-fear pendulum swung swiftly and violently to a maximum fear reading after a short-term credit crunch. While we held above average cash positions at the beginning of the recent market correction, the fund's NAV did not entirely escape the ensuing credit crunch as we saw significant selling across all sectors of the equity markets. During periods of panic and market turmoil we focus first on preserving shareholder value and second on finding quality businesses that have been unfairly punished.
The Fallen Angels Value Fund continues to focus on its core mission of investing in what we believe to be great businesses at cheap prices. Historically, periods of market difficulty have provided excellent opportunities for value hunting. Over a three to five year time frame, we believe our focus on quality and value will be very rewarding to our shareholders.
Thank you for joining us in the Fallen Angels Value Fund. If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call and ask for Gabe or Mike.
Sincerely,
Gabriel B. Wisdom

Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The Fallen Angels Income Fund commenced investment operations 11/10/06, and is designed to provide high monthly income from a broadly diversified portfolio of income securities. Since commencement of investment operations the Fund has returned .22%. Over the same time frame the iBoxx $ Liquid High Yield Index returned -1.47%. Our selection criteria involve a rigorous value based approach to income investing. As of 7/31/07, the Income Fund held 84 different securities including preferred securities, dividend paying stocks, royalty income trusts, and closed-end income funds of various kinds.
Much like stocks and other asset classes, income-oriented investments have periods of excessive optimism and irrational pessimism. Currently, we find ourselves in what we consider to be a panic ridden market with the sub-prime implosion, massive mortgage defaults, and declining real estate values.
Richard Lehmann, our portfolio manager, believes that this market should be viewed as an opportunity to make some good long-term buys. Over the years, and recently in his Forbes Magazine articles and in the Forbes/Lehmann Income Securities newsletter, Richard has written about the role human nature plays in finding income investments at sale prices.
"The thing to focus on is that opportunity springs from uncertainty and market turmoil. Yes, you can ride out the storm while continuing to collect your income payments, and in a year or two you'll be back where you were in terms of valuation - and with no interruption in your income stream."
Richard Lehmann, August 2007 "Feast on the Fear"
We believe that as the U.S. population ages, the demand for income securities will rise. Our objective is to identify, purchase, and hold attractive income investments that provide high current income. 78 million baby boomers are expected to begin retiring or slowing down in the near future. As they convert their 401Ks and other savings to income-oriented portfolios, we believe the market could experience steadily rising prices for income securities due to the rising demand. We anticipate that this massive demographic shift may provide additional benefits for shareholders of the Fallen Angels Income Fund and for income-oriented investors in general.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call us anytime, and ask for Gabe, Mike, or Richard.
Sincerely,
Gabriel B. Wisdom

FALLEN ANGELS FAMILY OF FUNDS
THE FALLEN ANGELS VALUE FUND
THE FALLEN ANGELS INCOME FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JULY 31, 2007
Note 1. Organization
The Fallen Angels Value Fund and the Fallen Angels Income Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are diversified series of Fallen Angels Family of Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end investment company that was organized as an Ohio business trust on June 20, 2006. The Funds commenced operations on November 10, 2007. The Trust is permitted to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. The Funds are the only series currently authorized by the Board of Trustees (“the Board”).
The Fallen Angels Value Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. The Fallen Angels Income Fund’s investment objective is to seek high current income with the potential for capital appreciation.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies employed by the Funds in preparing their financial statements:
Security Valuation- Each Fund’s assets are generally valued at their market value using market quotations. If market prices are not available or, in the Advisor’s opinion, market prices do not reflect fair value, or if an event occurs after the close of trading on the domestic or foreign exchange or market on which the security is principally traded (but prior to the time the NAV is calculated) that materially affects fair value, the Advisor will value a Fund’s assets at their fair value in accordance with policies approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. For example, fair value pricing may be used if an event occurs after the close of the foreign market that could have an impact on the foreign securities value. The Board has adopted guidelines for good faith pricing, and has delegated to the Advisor the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.
In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Advisor is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it had determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard for determining fair value controls, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Advisor would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (included a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.
Option Writing- When either Fund writes 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 a 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 realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. T he Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
Repurchase Agreements- In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Funds’ policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
Financial Futures Contracts- Each Fund invests in financial futures contracts solely for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a financial 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 amount (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 underlying security. The Fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
JULY 31, 2007
Short Sales- The Funds may sell a security that they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale.
Federal Income Taxes- The Funds’ policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, that requires the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized. These tax positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard that based on their technical merits, have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination. FASB Interpretation No. 48 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2006. At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained. Management of the Fund is currently evaluating the impact that FASB Interpretation No. 48 will have on the Funds’ financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. The Statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The Statement establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and is to be applied prospectively as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which this Statement is initially applied. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 157, and the impact, if any, of this standard on the Fund’s financial statements has not yet been determined.
Distributions to Shareholders- Each Fund typically will distribute substantially all of its net investment income in the form of dividends and capital gains to its shareholders. The Fallen Angels Value Fund will distribute dividends and capital gains annually, and expects that distributions will consist primarily of capital gains. The Fallen Angels Income Fund will distribute dividends monthly and capital gains annually, and expects that distributions will consist primarily of ordinary income. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.
Use of 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 increase and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Other- The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are amortized over the useful lives of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends will be provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Note 3. Investment Management and Service Agreements
The Trust has a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with American Money Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) to furnish investment advisory and management services to the Funds. Under the Management Agreement, each Fund will pay the Advisor a monthly fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the annual rate of 1.00% per Fund. For the period November 10, 2006 (commencement of investment operations) through July 31, 2007 (“the period”), the Advisor earned a fee of $137,009 and $105,763 for the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively. The Advisor voluntarily waived advisory fees in the amount of $23,039 and $14,887 for the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively. This voluntary waiver was in effect until December 31, 2006. The Funds owed the Advisor $19,497 and $16,478 for the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively, as of July 31, 2007.
The Trust also has an administration agreement with the Advisor to furnish sponsorship, administrative and supervisory services as may from time to time be reasonably requested by the Trust and in general to provide supervision of the overall operations of the Trust. Under this agreement, each Fund pays the Advisor a monthly fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the annual rate of 0.25%. For the period, the Advisor earned a fee of $34,252 and $26,441 from the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively. The Funds owed the Advisor $4,874 and $4,119 for the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively, as of July 31, 2007.
The Funds’ have adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act whereby the Fund’s pay the Advisor for certain distribution and promotion expenses activities which are primarily intended to result in the sale of the Funds’ shares, including, but not limited to: advertising, printing of prospectuses and reports for prospective shareholders, preparation and distribution of advertising materials and sales literature, and payments to dealers and shareholder servicing agents who enter into agreements with the Funds. The Funds’ incur such distribution expenses at the rate of 0.25% per annum of the Funds’ average net assets. For the period ended July 31, 2007, the Plan accrued fees of $34,252 and $26,441 under

Expense Example | |||
As a shareholder of the Fallen Angels Family of Funds, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is 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 Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire | |||
period, February 1, 2007 through July 31, 2007. | |||
Actual Expenses | |||
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line 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 second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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 these Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. | |||
