PLUMB FUNDS
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
We launched the Plumb Funds on May 24, 2007. It has been a difficult time to introduce new Funds as the S&P 500 index is down 10.78% since the Funds’ inception. Not surprisingly, the Plumb Funds have trailed their benchmark performance since inception, due primarily to a slight overweight in financial-related securities and uncertainty surrounding the deal between Microsoft, the Funds’ largest holding, and Yahoo. We see signs that both these issues are beginning to resolve themselves.
Although we are disappointed by the Funds’ performance since inception, we remain optimistic. Since the Federal Reserve’s orchestrated bailout of Bear Stearns, credit markets are beginning to loosen, and capital is beginning to flow. Our slight overweight in financials since inception has translated into slight outperformance since the beginning of the year. On financials, we believe we are part owners in some of the strongest businesses in the sector. For example, JP Morgan and Bank of America are our principle holdings among the money center banks. Each has been able to take advantage of the crisis by buying distressed assets at rock bottom prices. We believe each still has enough strength on its balance sheet to take advantage of additional opportunities as they arise.
The credit crisis has also given us the opportunity to become part owners in what we believe are some great franchises that we had longed to own but were always too expensive. American Express and Alliance Data Systems are but two examples. We believe American Express is among the best businesses in the world. It has tremendous growth prospects in international markets, requires only modest amounts of capital to run the business, and regularly returns almost all of its profits to shareholders. Alliance Data Systems is a Canadian credit card processor and issuer that specializes in building relationships between its clients and customers. Alliance is a nice little business that was supposed to be acquired by the Blackstone Group until the credit crisis hit, forcing Blackstone to abandon the deal. Because Alliance is a mid-sized company with a market capitalization of less than five billion, many larger funds may have been unable to take advantage of this attractive opportunity. The size and nimbleness of our Funds allowed us to take advantage of what we believe was the stock markets’ overreaction to the news of the abandonment of the deal.
While we have been able to selectively take advantage of the fallout in the financial sector, we remain leery of financials in general, especially those directly exposed to mortgages. Although improving, many financial companies’ balance sheets remain stressed. It is difficult to tell how long the troubles will persist and how much shareholders will be asked to pay to support the businesses.
That said, we are finding exciting opportunities in less credit sensitive companies with strong consumer franchises that should perform well regardless of the situation in the financial sector. A case in point can be found in Nestle. Despite growing at an attractive rate for the past several years, Nestle still trades at a very attractive price after stripping out its ownership stake in Alcon and L’Oreal. Nestles’ recent actions to realize the value of Alcon should accelerate its stock to trade at the premium that the largest and arguably best food company in the world deserves. Like Nestle, we are finding other opportunities in less credit

sensitive companies that should improve fund performance and perhaps lessen volatility over time. We look forward to sharing them with you in our next correspondence.
Finally, on Microsoft, we note that the market has taken a dim view of Microsoft’s bid to buy Yahoo. We expect Microsoft to remain disciplined and not to overpay for Yahoo. We are agnostic on Microsoft’s decision to buy Yahoo, believing that with or without Yahoo, Microsoft is, and could be, one of the strongest and potentially most profitable businesses in the world currently available at a very attractive price.
Fixed Income Discussion
The Funds were launched in a very challenging fixed income environment. We use bonds in the Balanced Fund to moderate the volatility of the stock market, but bonds can be very volatile in their own right if they are exposed to either credit or interest rate risk.
In May of last year, the “risk premium” associated with fixed income investing was at the lowest level in almost a decade. In general, it seemed that corporate bonds, no matter what their risk level, were priced as if nothing could ever go wrong. In addition, emerging inflation pressure made us reluctant to “lock in” yields that didn’t look that attractive compared to our long-term return goals.
Our strategy was to keep our bonds short and to buy only investment grade bonds. As the financial crisis developed and interest rates offered by major financial institutions rose dramatically, we began to add them to our portfolio. In hind sight, though the yields have proven to be attractive, we didn’t realize how the flood of new offerings and bad headlines would combine to make the pricing on these holdings to be so volatile.
We are positioned today in bonds that on average have less than three years to maturity and many of the holdings have yields in excess of 5%. In addition, we own some preferred stocks that are obligations of very strong financial institutions. These are paying almost 8% and we believe that that yield should be quite attractive over the next few years.
Conclusion
We are optimistic about the exciting future for the Plumb Funds. We believe the funds are made up of a portfolio of very strong businesses. These businesses are showing good growth and they are very reasonably priced. This combination should bode well going forward.
Sincerely,
/s/ Thomas G. Plumb

PLUMB FUNDS
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Funds may invest in smaller companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Temporary Defensive Positions-Under adverse market conditions the funds could invest a substantial portion of their assets in US Treasury securities and money market securities which could reduce the benefit from any upswing market.
The Plumb Balanced Fund will invest in debt securities, which typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The Fund may engage in short-term trading, which could produce higher transaction costs and taxable distributions and lower the fund’s after tax performance.
Fund holdings are subject to change at any time and should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments in this report for complete holdings information.
The S&P 500 Index is a broad based unmanaged index of 500 stocks, which is widely recognized as representative of the equity market in general. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Expense Example
March 31, 2008 (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Plumb Funds (the “Funds”), you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory 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 (October 1, 2007 – March 31, 2008).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table on the following page provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. However, the table does not include shareholder specific fees such as the $15.00 fee charged for wire redemptions. The table also does not include portfolio trading commissions and related trading costs. 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 the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table on the following page 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 the 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.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees, which, although not charged by the Funds, may be charged by other funds. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

PLUMB FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Period From May 24, 2007 through March 31, 2008
1. | ORGANIZATION |
Wisconsin Capital Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The Company was organized as a Maryland corporation on April 3, 2007. The Company is authorized to issue up to 200 million shares per series, which are units of beneficial interest with a $0.001 par value. The Company currently offers shares of two series, each with its own investment strategy and risk/reward profile: the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”). The investment objective of the Plumb Balanced Fund is high total return through capital appreciation while attempting to preserve principal, with current income as a secondary objective. The investment objective of the Plumb Equity Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation:
Portfolio securities which are traded on an exchange are valued at the last sale price reported by the exchange on which the securities are primarily traded on the day of valuation. If there are no sales on a given day for securities traded on an exchange, the latest bid quotation will be used. If there is no Nasdaq Official Closing Price for a Nasdaq-listed security or sale price available for an over-the-counter security, the mean of the latest bid and asked quotations from Nasdaq will be used. Debt securities for which market quotations are not readily available may be valued based on information supplied by independent pricing services, including services using matrix pricing formulas and/or independent broker bid quotations. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less may be valued on an amortized cost basis, which involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating rates on the market value of the instrument. Any securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor pursuant to procedures established under the general supervision and responsibility of the Funds’ Board of Directors.

PLUMB FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Period From May 24, 2007 through March 31, 2008 (Continued)
Use of Estimates:
In preparing the financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management is required 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Expenses:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one series of the Company are allocated among the respective series based on relative net assets or another appropriate basis.
Federal Income Taxes:
The Funds intend to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all net investment taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
Distributions to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the recognition and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds. For the fiscal period ended March 31, 2008, $43,831 for the Plumb Balanced Fund and $40,034 for the Plumb Equity Fund, was reclassified from paid-in capital to undistributed net investment income.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
Effective September 28, 2007 the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, a clarification of FASB Statement No. 109,
28
PLUMB FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Period From May 24, 2007 through March 31, 2008 (Continued)
“Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. FIN 48 was applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.
As of and during the period ended March 31, 2008, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management is currently evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 157, and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
3. | DISTRIBUTION PLAN |
The Company has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”), on behalf of the Funds, which authorizes it to pay Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) a distribution fee of 0.25% of the Funds’ average daily net assets for services to prospective Fund shareholders and distribution of Fund shares. During the period ended March 31, 2008, the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund incurred expenses of $124,044 and $42,253, respectively, pursuant to the 12b-1 Plan. As of March 31, 2008, $16,230 and $4,590 for the Plumb Balanced Fund and Plumb Equity Fund, respectively, were accrued.
4. | INVESTMENT ADVISOR AND OTHER AFFILIATES |
The Funds have an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) with Wisconsin Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”). The Advisory Agreement provides for advisory fees computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.65% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.
Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor has, contractually agreed to limit the expenses until June 30, 2010, to the extent that the Funds total annual operating expenses exceed 1.10% and 1.20% for the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund, respectively. Any such waiver or reimbursement is subject to later adjustment to allow the Advisor to recoup
29
PLUMB FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements
For the Period From May 24, 2007 through March 31, 2008 (Continued)
amounts waived or reimbursed to the extent actual fees and expenses for a period are less than the expense limitation caps, provided, however, that the Advisor shall only be entitled to recoup such amounts for a period of three years from the date such amount was waived or reimbursed. For the period ended March 31, 2008, the Advisor waived expenses for the Plumb Balanced Fund and the Plumb Equity Fund of $231,096 and $153,231, respectively.
The following table shows the remaining waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery expiring in:
Plumb Balanced Fund | Plumb Equity Fund |
2011 . . . . . . . $231,096 | 2011 . . . . . . . $153,281 |
The Funds also have an Administrative and Accounting Services Agreement with the Advisor which provides for the administrative and accounting fees computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.15% of the Funds’ average daily net assets.
5. | INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS |
For the period ended March 31, 2008, purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and short-term U.S. Government obligations were as follows:

U.S. Government | $ | 3,025,333 | $ | — | ||||
Other | $ | 22,641,719 | $ | 11,537,863 |
The advisor advanced certain reimbursable offering expenses incurred prior to the Funds’ commencement of operations, all of which has been reimbursed to the Advisor during the period May 24, 2007 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2008.
6. | BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP |
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of March 31, 2008, Charles Schwab Inc., for the benefit of its customers, owned 28% of the Plumb Equity Fund. As a result, Charles Schwab Inc. may be deemed to control the Plumb Equity Fund.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report. A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
The registrant’s board of directors has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Jay V. Loewi, is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant during the last fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for the last fiscal year for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
FYE 3/31/08 |
Audit Fees | $22,000 | |
Audit-Related Fees | 0 | |
Tax Fees | $4,000 | |
All Other Fees | 0 |
The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant. All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last year. The audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence in its audit of the Registrant and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 3/31/08 |
Registrant | $4,000 | |
Registrant’s Investment Adviser | $0 |
