Letter to Shareholders
(Photo of Chris Nisbet) The six-month period ended March 31, 2008 saw the seven-day yield of Government Money Market drop steadily as the Federal Reserve Board made a series of dramatic Fed Funds target rate cuts just prior and through the period. The 7-day yield for the Fund began the period at 4.49% and ended the period at 2.27%.
Money market rates and the Federal Funds rate are closely linked, with the Fed rate posture reflected in the yield of money market funds. In September, just prior to the beginning of our six-month period, the Federal Reserve Board cut rates from 5.25% to 4.50% in two steps. By the end of the period, the Federal Reserve Target Rate had been cut even more dramatically, ending the period at 2.25%.
Economic Overview
The beginning of this reporting period in October of 2007 turned out to be an investing environment quite different than the climate earlier in 2007. The first half of the year was driven by a seemingly endless supply of liquidity, driving mergers and acquisitions and a healthy stock market. During the late summer months, concerns surrounding the housing and mortgage markets began to ramp up, signaling the flow of liquidity might subside. By the beginning of the six-month reporting period, we saw increasing stress on the banking system, weakening earnings growth and speculation of a possible recession in 2008.
As we entered 2008, the headlines of America’s financial press were filled with words such as implosion, meltdown, and collapse to describe the events unfolding in the financial markets. Yet, despite the volatility and startling headlines, it was a rewarding period for defensive and high-quality segments of the fixed income market. Falling yields and solid performance in high-quality market sectors allowed short and intermediate government bonds to lead the way. During this period investors in higher risk, higher-yield securities such as junk bonds, auction rate securities or mortgage-backed securities based on subprime loans experienced the unpleasant risk often associated with stretching for yield.
In addition to the rate cuts mentioned above, the Fed stepped outside the traditional box by implementing new and, in many cases, unprecedented programs targeting support at a broad swath of the financial sector. These creative solutions showed mixed signs of bearing fruit as our reporting ended in March, as risk premiums grudgingly shrank and the stock market began to show signs of life.
One of the most striking aspects of the past period in terms of money-market investors was the difficulties experienced by a number of money-market and short-term bond funds. In an attempt to add yield, a number of such funds were exposed to securities backed by subprime loans, and experienced significant losses. One of the benefits of investing in a government fund, such as Madison Mosaic Government Money Market, is the avoidance of these sorts of credit problems. Your Fund invests solely in government and government agency bonds.
Outlook
The economy remains an increasing source of concern, and the most common question is: Are we in a recession? There is little doubt that consumers are battling numerous headwinds, including high energy prices, tight credit availability, and slumping asset values (homes and stocks). The labor market is also beginning to show signs of strain, leading us to conclude that a further increase in the unemployment rate lies ahead. It is likely the consumer will continue to struggle over the near-term.
Madison Mosaic Government Money Market 1
Letter to Shareholders (concluded)
But non-financial corporations remain in solid shape. America’s companies did not, by and large, go on a debt binge during this economic cycle, leaving private sector balance sheets highly liquid and lightly leveraged by historical standards. Earnings continue to grow for these companies, thanks in large part to the weak dollar and vibrant export markets. In the end, it is not so much about whether we trip the definition of a recession, or just come close. In this case the duration of the downturn seems much more to the point.
While economic woes remain front and center, inflation is also a major source of concern. Consumer prices rose in excess of 4% over the last year. This is not consistent with 10-year Treasury yields at 3.50%. In fact, only 3 times in the last 30 years have 10-year Treasury yields been lower than CPI inflation. The Fed must balance economic growth concerns with the realities of inflation. Should inflation persist and the economy recover, it seems likely that we will see a return to higher rates.
Looking ahead, we expect the economy to show renewed vigor in the second half of the year, as exports remain a source of strength and the housing market finds a bottom. Investors in Government Money Market have once again witnessed a turbulent six months from a position of substantial safety, highlighting the potential benefits of a conservative money market investment.
Sincerely,

Madison Mosaic Government Money Market
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Madison Mosaic Government Money Market (the “Fund”) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified investment management company. The Fund invests solely in securities issued by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or in repurchase agreements backed by such securities. Because the Fund is 100% no-load, its shares are offered and redeemed at the net asset value per share.
Securities Valuation: Securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value. Portfolio securities are valued at acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined on the identified cost basis for financial statement and Federal income tax purposes.
Investment Income: Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and original issue discount and market discount are accreted over the expected life of each applicable security using the effective interest method.
Distribution of Income: Net investment income, determined as gross investment income less total expenses, is declared as a dividend each business day. Dividends are distributed to shareholders or reinvested in additional shares as of the close of business at the end of each month. Distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 were $1,669,102 and $1,575,622, respectively. All distributions were paid from ordinary income and were identical for book purposes and tax purposes. As of March 31, 2008, the Fund had $1,556 of accumulated net realized gains as the only component of distributable earnings on a tax basis.
Income Tax: No provision is made for Federal income taxes since it is the intention of the Fund to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code available to investment companies and to make the requisite distribution to shareholders of taxable income which will be sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all Federal income taxes. As of September 30, 2007, capital loss carryovers available to offset future capital gains for federal income tax purposes was $1,528 expiring September 30, 2014.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Investment in Repurchase Agreements. When the Fund purchases securities under agreements to resell, the securities are held in safekeeping by the Fund’s custodian bank as collateral. Should the market value of the securities purchased under such an agreement decrease below the principal amount to be received at the termination of the agreement plus accrued interest, the counterparty is required to place an equivalent amount of additional securities in safekeeping with the Fund’s custodian bank. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having Advisory and Services Agreements with the same advisor, transfers uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. The aggregate balance in this joint trading account is invested in one or more consolidated repurchase agreements whose underlying securities are U.S. Treasury or Federal agency obligations. The Fund has approximately a 1.5% interest in the consolidated repurchase agreement of $16,133,000 collateralized by $16,455,982 in United States Treasury Notes. Proceeds at maturity are $16,133,672.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
3. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates. The Investment Advisor to the Fund, Madison Mosaic, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Madison Investment Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), earns an advisory fee equal to 0.5% per annum of the average net assets of the Fund. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. Since December 9, 2002, the Advisor has been irrevocably waiving 0.25% of this fee for the Fund. For the six-months ended March 31, 2008, the waived amount was $43,940. This waiver may end at any time.
The Advisor will reimburse the Fund for the amount of any expenses of the Fund (less certain expenses) that exceed 1.5% per annum of the average net assets of the Fund up to $40 million and 1% per annum of such amount in excess of $40 million. No amounts were reimbursed to the Fund by the Advisor for the six-months ended March 31, 2008.
4. Other Expenses. Under a separate Services Agreement, the Advisor will provide or arrange for the Fund to have all other necessary operational and support services for a fee based on a percentage of average net assets, other than the expenses of the Fund’s Independent Trustees and auditor (“Independent Service Providers”) which are paid directly based on cost and any costs associated with the Line of Credit described in Note 6. For the six-months ended March 31, 2008, this services fee was 0.35%. The Fund paid $5,516 directly for Independent Service Providers fees for the year ended. The Fund uses US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC as its transfer agent and US Bank as its custodian. The transfer agent and custodian fees are paid by the Advisor and allocated to the Fund pursuant to a services agreement and are included in other expenses.
5. Capital Share Transactions. An unlimited number of capital shares, without par value, are authorized. Transactions in capital shares (in dollars) were as follows:
(unaudited) | Year Ended Sept. 30, | |
2008 | 2007 | |
Shares sold | $8,320,939 | $15,024,196 |
Shares issued in reinvestment of dividends | 626,102 | 1,630,009 |
Total shares issued | 8,947,041 | 16,654,205 |
Shares redeemed | (10,741,674) | (17,640,395) |
Net decrease | $(1,794,633) | $(986,190) |
6. Line of Credit. The Fund has a $12 million revolving credit facility with a bank for temporary emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The interest rate on the outstanding principal amount is equal to the prime rate less 0.5% (effective rate of 4.50% at March 31, 2008). The line of credit contains loan covenants with respect to certain financial ratios and operating matters. The Fund was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2007 and 2006. During the six-months ended March 31, 2008, the Fund drew $18,000 with interest paid on the draw of $10. The Fund had repaid in full its line of credit as of March 31, 2008.
7. New Accounting Pronouncement. In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 provides guidance on the measurement, recognition, classification and disclosure of tax positions, along with accounting for the related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. Management has determined there is no material impact on the financial statements of the Fund in applying the various provisions of FIN 48.
On September 15, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Standard No. 157, “Fair Value
Madison Mosaic Government Money Market 7
Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)
Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 addresses how companies should measure fair value when specified assets and liabilities are measured at fair value for either recognition or disclosure purposes under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). FAS 157 is intended to make the measurement of fair value more consistent and comparable and improve disclosures about those measures. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At this time, management believes the adoption of FAS 157 will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Fund.
Fund Expenses (unaudited).
Example: This Example is intended to help you understand your costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. See footnotes 3 and 4 above for an explanation of the types of costs charged by the Fund.
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2007 and held for the six-months ended March 31, 2008.
Actual Expenses
The table below titled “Based on Actual Total Return” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,500 ending account valued divided by $1,000 = 8.5), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table on the next page titled “Based on Hypothetical Total Return” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% 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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
