PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE TO FELLOW
SHAREHOLDERS
JANUARY 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED)
Dear Fellow Shareholder,
"Fallen Angels" is an old Wall Street term to describe stocks and bonds that have declined in price, when it is believed the price will rise again. Through a combination of fundamental, technical, and sentiment analysis, your portfolio management team is working to meet or exceed the objectives described in each of the two fund's investment policies.
During this most recent period, we maintained substantial cash positions in both the Fallen Angels Value Fund, and the Fallen Angels Income Fund. When "cash is king," demand for equity and income securities declines. If history is any indication of what the future may hold, the recent turmoil presents us with many of the greatest bargains in several years. Fortunately, we believe we have had plenty of dry powder (cash) to put to work.
Experience confirms that dividend yields play a crucial role in generating investor returns. At this time, our research indicates that the deepest discounts are among income oriented securities. We believe dividend paying stocks with strong prospects for continued dividend increases, along with income oriented closed-end funds and preferred stocks, are among the best values today. Over time, dividends have provided a meaningful advantage for both growth and income oriented investors.
Research conducted by John Bogle and Vanguard (Bogle Financial Markets Center) and presented in the Journal of Indexes, March/April 2008 issue, concluded that dividend income has accounted for 50 to 75 percent of the real annual returns of the stock market. For example, an investment of $10,000 in the S&P 500 at it's inception in 1926 with all dividends reinvested, would have grown to approximately $33,100,000 by September 2007 (including the pre-1957 S&P 90). If dividends had not been reinvested, the original $10,000 invested in 1926 would have grown to just over $1,200,000 ... an absolutely amazing gap of $32 million. In other words, over the last 81 years, reinvested dividend income produced approximately 95% of the compound return earned by public companies in the S&P 500!
In range bound markets like those we've experienced for the past 8 years, owners of Index related funds have little to celebrate. "Buy and Hold" Investors in the Dow 30, NASDAQ, or S&P 500 are approximately where they were at the beginning of 2000 or even lower. You may have noticed that our turnover rate for the Fallen Angels Value Fund increased substantially over the past 6 months. We felt it was necessary for the purposes of preserving capital. We believe that any additional transaction costs incurred by our increased trading activity are justified when research indicates it's prudent to be defensive, to reduce losses, or to take profits.
It's been said that you make your money in bear markets, but you don't know it at the time. This speaks to the importance of having a reasonable time frame so that our "Fallen

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact either or both of us anytime during the weekday. Our primary objective is to generate meaningful returns over time for the benefit of our shareholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JANUARY 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED)
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 AMM 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, 2006. 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED
JANUARY 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED)
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
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. 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.
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 r ealize 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.
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
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
New Accounting Pronouncements - The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on July 1, 2007. FASB Interpretation No. 48 requires that the tax effects of certain tax positions be recognized. These tax provisions 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. 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 does not believe that any adjustments were necessary to the financial statements at adoption.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets up a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.
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-
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
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 August 1, 2007 through January 31, 2008 (“the period”), the Advisor earned a fee of $105,571 and $89,526 for the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively. The Funds owed the Advisor $16,668 and $14,011 for the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively, as of January 31, 2008.
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 $26,393 and $22,382 from the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively. The Funds owed the Advisor $4,167 and $3,503 for the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively, as of January 31, 2008.
The Funds have adopted a Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act whereby the Funds 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 January 31, 2008, the Plan accrued fees of $26,393 and $22,382 under the plan from the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively. The Funds owed the Advisor $3,661 and $3,661 for the Value Fund and Income Fund, respectively as of January 31, 2008.

Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Fallen Angels Funds, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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, August 1, 2007 through January 31, 2008.
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 the 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 this Fund 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.

The President of the Adviser noted that there had been no regulatory inspections or litigation. The president also discussed the Adviser's personnel and their Fund-related responsibilities. The Board discussed the compliance activities of the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer. Based on the information in the report and their discussions with personnel of the Adviser, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser has provided high quality advisory services to the Fund, and that the nature and extent of services provided by the Adviser were reasonable and consistent with the Board’s expectations.
As to the Funds' performance, the Trustees reviewed information in the Report regarding each Fund’s returns since September 22, 2006 (commencement of investment operations) through September 13, 2007 compared to a large peer group of mutual funds. The Adviser also presented performance information for the AMM Growth Composite, noting that it included all fee-paying accounts greater than $250,000 managed using the Adviser’s growth strategy. The Trustees noted that the current market conditions had affected the performance of the Funds and that the Funds had only been in operation for a short time. After further discussion, it was the consensus of the Trustees that the Funds’ performance was satisfactory.
The Trustees then reviewed information in the Report comparing the expense ratio of the Funds to those of a peer group. The President of the Adviser informed the Board that the Income and Value Fund had expense ratios of approximately 1.88% and 1.74%, respectively, and advisory fees of 1.00% each. The Board agreed the Funds’ expenses compared favorably to the peer groups and the management fees were fair and reasonable particularly considering the small size of the Funds.
As to profits realized by the Adviser, the Board reviewed information regarding the Adviser’s income and expenses. After discussion regarding the Adviser’s financial wherewithal, the Board concluded that the Adviser has adequate resources to fulfill its responsibilities to the Funds. The Trustees determined that the Adviser was not excessively profitable, and that a discussion of economies of scale was not relevant at this time due to the small size of the Funds, but that the issue should be considered again as the Funds grow.
After review and discussion, the Trustees, including all of the trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Trust (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) determined that the overall arrangement provided under the terms of the Agreement was a reasonable business arrangement and that renewal of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of the Trust and each Fund’s shareholders. Thereafter the Management Agreement was approved for continuance for an additional year.
