ANNUAL REPORT
October 31, 2012
CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
The Asset Management Fund (“AMF” and each series, a “Fund”) family of no-load institutional mutual funds is pleased to present to shareholders the 2012 Annual Report.
Politics tend to dominate the news cycle during Presidential election years, forcing fundamentally important issues to the sideline. This year was somewhat different; the confluence of political grandstanding and acute fiscal and economic imbalances have created a somewhat toxic mix for an already polarized Washington to sort out. It will be difficult for each side to come down off their election soap boxes and achieve a meaningful and balanced solution. For example, as we write this letter, the “Fiscal Cliff” debate has begun; we expect that Washington will let this process devolve into a crisis situation before a band-aid solution is achieved (recall the 500 point stock market decline after Congress initially rejected TARP in October 2008).
To repeat what we wrote last year: “we need leadership out of Washington to put policies in place to spur economic growth”. To clarify that statement, we’re not looking for industrial policy from D.C.; instead, our political leaders need to reform the tax code, stabilize discretionary spending and entitlements, and rationalize defense spending. In other words, put into place policies that put the federal budget deficit on a glide path to long-term stability while protecting the “life, liberty, and happiness” of its citizens. This level of policy clarity provides consumers, investors, businesspeople and corporations the confidence to spend and invest. For example, in the 1950’s, decisive political leadership helped to build the interstate highway system; government knew that their job was to build the roads, not drive the car. We fear that today’s politicians prefer the latter, but don’t know when to use the brakes.
That said, consumers and corporations are trying to rebound. An improving employment picture and low interest rates have reduced consumer debt service burdens to 30 year lows and new homes sales are showing signs of life. Corporate profitability is slowing, but cashflow is strong so balance sheets are well-positioned for an upswing in economic activity. The U.S. is in the midst of an energy boom that could bring self-sufficiency in the next ten years; and the agricultural heartland of the country has benefitted from rising food and farmland prices. While the Chinese economy shows signs of bottoming, Europe and Japan remain difficult stories. The U.S. will have to lead the global economy out of its doldrums.
But missteps in fiscal policy are a risk; monetary policy, however, remains highly accommodative. With negative real rates in the U.S., the Fed is pushing on a string and the asset bubble in long-maturity bond prices will not end well. That said, our philosophy continues to focus on investment strategies that offer safety and transparency to our shareholders. With the Fed Quantitative Easing strategies focusing on longer duration securities, shorter duration government mortgage-backed securities are still the right place to preserve capital. We thank you for your support, and continue to focus on maximizing long-term shareholder value within the appropriate risk management framework.

MARKET OVERVIEW
October 31, 2012
As investors know, markets tend to have a memory, meaning that the recent behavior of markets tends to influence investors assumptions regarding future prices. Undoubtedly, the housing market exhibited this kind of mindset in the middle of the previous decade. So with a third consecutive year of roughly 2% real GDP growth under our belt, what is the risk that investor complacency assumes another “slow go” year?
Reviewing the key drivers (and deterrents) of growth over the past few years, and their relationship to the investment strategies we manage for our clients, may shed some light on what to expect over the next few years. Given the ongoing discussions regarding the “Fiscal Cliff”, it is noteworthy that these negotiations (and those that follow) may put a brake on federal government spending. Undoubtedly, the short-term impact on GDP will be negative, although if Washington actually comes up with a long-term, sophisticated financial plan for the budget (unlikely, in our view), improved confidence from consumers and investors could certainly add to long term growth prospects. Regardless, we don’t think that will have much impact on interest rates in 2013; if Washington drops the ball, rates will decline somewhat as economic activity weakens. But the problem with the economy isn’t interest rates, its Washington. If the economy stumbles, the Fed’s Quantitative Easing programs already provide a non-economic bid to bond prices, and more QE will be on the way.
Investors should be wary of this “Interest Rate Gap”, i.e., the difference between the price the Fed will pay for fixed income securities and the price that brings in real economic buyers. The Interest Rate Gap is one of the reasons our Funds have maintained their interest rate exposure towards the lower end of our targets; from a risk/reward perspective, investors simply aren’t getting paid to take interest rate risk. The only substantial risk to interest rates we foresee in 2013 is a sharp steepening in the yield curve; “Operation Twist” has succeeded in flattening the yield curve to a level that is historically unsustainable (given the level of real interest rates), so any unanticipated increase in real GDP should initially cause long term interest rates to rise. QE III has also pushed down mortgage rates somewhat; at the margin, this will support faster prepayments, but the impact will mainly be felt by loans originated between 2009 and 2011, which are origination years that our funds have limited exposure.
Non-durable spending has also led the growth in GDP, but this sector has been dominated by healthcare, education, energy, and core services. These sectors tend to fall more into the category of necessities as opposed to luxury items. They have also recently experienced above average price increases, and with real disposable income in the U.S. essentially flat over the past five years, these expenses are likely “crowding out” other consumer expenditures. But the relentless decline in interest rates (particularly mortgage rates) and mortgage debt outstanding means that consumer’s debt servicing burdens are at a thirty year low. We believe debt service is more important than debt to income ratios, which still look high by historical standards. Given that today’s stock of debt is mainly long-term, fixed rate debt, households have greater certainty as to their disposable income. If the economy improves at all and drives down the unemployment rate, the consumer portion of the economy could be surprisingly supportive of GDP in the next few years.
The government’s HARP (“Home Affordable Refinance Program”) programs have certainly been supportive of this trend. Given that our fixed income funds focus exclusively on government and government agency securities, we pay particular attention to housing policy emanating from Washington. In particular, HARP 2.0 – the second iteration of the government’s program to assist underwater homeowners – has been quite beneficial to homeowners this year. HARP-driven refinancings have surged in 2012, achieving a pace of modification that is three times faster than in 2011. We expected this would be the case, and in the first quarter of 2012 sold securities from our funds which we believed to be the most vulnerable to HARP-induced refinancings.
One surprising statistic for 2012 has been the rebound in home prices. While this was inevitable – population growth absorbs excess housing when new construction is dormant – most market participants felt higher prices would occur in 2014-16. But the economic variable that the market fails to predict is macro-shifts in consumer attitudes and how those attitudes drive expenditures. With employment improving, and the “own vs. rent” equation in favor of home ownership, consumers are wading back into the housing markets. Additionally, the inventory of new housing is at a multi-decade low, so any demand will generate real economic activity (not just inventory draw-downs). This is the “Big Kahuna” of the economic recovery; the multiplier effect on housing is large and the impact on household psyche is meaningful. Economists are forecasting that housing can yield anywhere from 0.50% to 2.0% in 2013; if the higher end is achieved, there will be some unanticipated positive results for the economy.

MARKET OVERVIEW
October 31, 2012
Besides the impact on GDP and interest rates, improving home prices slowly reduces homeowners’ loan-to-values (“LTV”), a key metric that computes the outstanding loan amount relative to the value of the home and determines whether or not a mortgage is refinanceable. Of course, the national decline in home prices since 2007 – at the trough, home prices were down over 30% - means that it will take several years of consistent home price appreciation to get those ratios back to a level that will allow the homeowner to refinance; so while we track home prices closely, we do not expect higher home prices to demonstrably impact prepayment risk for most of our fund’s holdings.
All that said, the likely outcome for 2013 is, in fact, another year of soft economic growth. While our optimism that the U.S. economy will always surprise the naysayers over the long haul, many roadblocks remain to achieving optimal economic growth. In the meantime, we thank all of our shareholders for allowing us to assist them in their investment needs, and look forward to a prosperous 2013.

ASSET MANAGEMENT FUND REVIEW
October 31, 2012
Ultra Short Mortgage Fund
With nearly zero interest rate volatility on the front part of the yield curve, the Fund focused on securities that offer stable, prepayment protected yields. The Fund’s holdings are mainly seasoned government agency hybrid ARMs; many of the loans backing these pools provide the borrower with a monthly mortgage payment that cannot be replicated even with fixed mortgage rates at all-time lows. This is because many of the loans in our pools are still in their interest-only period, and interest-only loans are generally not available today given the tight credit terms in the current mortgage market. While the Fund did purchase several securities backed by recently issued mortgages, our focus continues to be on seasoned loans which have a variety of impediments to refinancing. This strategy – focusing on higher coupon, seasoned securities – has allowed the Fund to maintain a relatively attractive yield compared to newly issued securities. The Fund was ranked in the 16th percentile and the 55th percentile of the Morningstar Ultra Short Bond category for the one-year periods ended October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2012, respectively.* The recent outperformance relative to its U.S. Treasury T-bills is mainly due to the Federal Reserve’s policy of keeping short-term interest rates unusually low and thereby limiting their total return while short-term mortgage-backed securities have not been subject to these large scale acquisitions.

Short U.S. Government Fund
With historically low interest rate volatility on the short to intermediate portion of the yield curve, the Fund focused on securities that offer stable, prepayment protected yields and fixed rate government agency mortgage-backed securities. This strategy – focusing on higher coupon, seasoned securities – has allowed the fund to maintain a relatively attractive yield compared to newly issued securities. The Fund also used fixed rate MBS to manage interest rate exposure, and the fund was generally positioned toward the lower end of its targeted duration range. The Fed’s Quantitative Easing strategies generally reduced the yield advantage of extending duration during a period when the Federal Reserve was holding short interest rates stable. The Fund was ranked in the 77th percentile and the 33rd percentile of the Morningstar Short Government Bond category for the one year periods ended October 31, 2011 and October 31, 2012, respectively.* The recent outperformance relative to short-term U.S. Treasuries is mainly due to the Federal Reserve’s policy of keeping short term interest rates unusually low and thereby limiting their total return while short-term mortgage-backed securities have not been subject to these large scale acquisitions.

AMF LARGE CAP EQUITY FUND REVIEW
October 31, 2012
Large Cap Equity Fund Review
During the one-year period ending October 31, 2012, the AMF Large Cap Equity Fund (“Class AMF”) produced a total return of 14.16%. Total return figures for the Fund’s peer group and benchmark index were 12.55% for the Morningstar Large Blend Category and 15.20% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index for the same period. Total return assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains and the deduction of all applicable fees and expenses. The AMF Large Cap Equity Fund contains approximately 30 high quality, large capitalization common stock investments. Stemming from its focus on companies that have demonstrated an ability to achieve long-term sustainable earnings and dividend growth, the Fund is more heavily weighted toward sectors of the market that are less cyclical in nature. The Fund’s largest sector weighting is in consumer staples, approximately twice the market weighting. Individual security performance, relative market sector performance and fund expense ratio are the primary drivers of the Fund’s investment return relative to its peer group and index benchmarks. For the one-year period ending October 31, 2012, the AMF Large Cap Equity Fund outperformed its peer group, the Morningstar Large Blend Category, by 161 basis points and underperformed the S&P 500 Index by 104 basis points. Net of the Fund’s 120 basis point expense ratio, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 index by 16 basis points.
During the past year, the domestic economy has produced positive growth although the pace has been slow. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth has hovered around the 2% mark throughout the 12-month period. The employment picture has also improved somewhat, but here again the rate of improvement is tepid. The unemployment rate has just recently dipped below the 8% level, however, that leaves a sizeable portion of the U.S. working population still looking for employment. The level of underemployment, people with jobs but not earning at their full capacity, also remains quite high. The Federal Reserve has been actively trying to address these matters with an extremely accommodative monetary policy. The result of which has further reduced interest rates from this time last year. Short-term interest rates are near zero, while the benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields approximately 1.69%.
There are rays of light emanating from recent economic reports. The housing market is showing steady signs of improvement, as distressed sales have become a smaller part of the resale market, and new home sales volume has increased. Home prices are making positive headway as historically low mortgage rates help affordability and the employment picture slowly improves. Consumer confidence has also been steadily improving as consumers continue the deleveraging process and personal balance sheets improve. Higher consumer confidence has also led to strong retail sales figures.
Looking at the year from a business perspective, profit margins have remained elevated after efficiencies were implemented during and after the “Great Recession” of 2008-2009, which has translated into continued earnings and cash flow growth. However, the slow rate of economic growth in the U.S., coupled with a slowdown in global economic growth, has tempered revenue growth. Concerns over the 2012 Presidential election outcome and uncertainly regarding a resolution to the year-end “fiscal cliff” have put the brakes on business investment. However, dividend paying companies continued to expand their payouts and many companies also repurchased shares during the year as cash continued to mount on their balance sheets. As interest rates continued their decline, reducing the attractiveness of investment alternatives, price-earnings (p/e) ratios expanded (and earnings yields contracted) over the course of the year. The total return of the stock market during the 12-month period can be summarized as a combination of expanding p/e ratios, nominal earnings growth and higher dividend payouts.
The AMF Large Cap Equity Fund’s investment philosophy focuses on investing in high quality, large capitalization common stocks. More specifically, we seek to acquire equity stakes in established companies that we believe have the ability to produce long-term sustainable earnings and dividend growth at favorable valuations for long-term ownership. We believe that this is a prudent way for investors to accumulate wealth over the long-term and benefit from the merits of compounding. As of October 31, 2012, the portfolio’s 30 holdings had a weighted average earnings yield of 7.19% (12-month trailing earnings divided by the closing stock price on 10/31/12). The weighted average 5-year historical earnings growth rate for these holdings was 6.49%. This period includes the recession of 2008-2009 as well as the subsequent economic recovery, which has been slower than normal. The weighted average dividend yield of our current portfolio holdings as of October 31, 2012 is 2.61%. Over the previous 5-year period, the growth rate of these dividends has been 9.02% on a weighted average basis. The current earnings and dividend yields available in the equity market today are very attractive relative to the “risk-free” alternative in the U.S. Treasury market.
Our long-term approach to investing in high quality companies once again resulted in low portfolio turnover of 8% during the year. Two additions were made to the portfolio during the period, namely Walt Disney and DuPont. We believe that each company provides us with a favorable combination of earnings and dividend growth and were available at attractive valuations.

AMF LARGE CAP EQUITY FUND REVIEW
October 31, 2012
Disney’s television broadcasting network, led by ESPN, theme parks, filmed entertainment and merchandising products have generated steady growth over its history, which we feel will continue well into the future. DuPont’s agricultural seed and crop protection products, performance chemical, coatings and materials, and electronic, safety and protection products provide for a diversified revenue mix capable of producing attractive long-term earnings growth in our opinion. DuPont also pays out a handsome dividend. Valuation is a significant factor in our investment process, which prompted our two recent additions, as well as led to reductions in a number of existing positions after significant price appreciation. Some of the more notable reductions included Home Depot, TJX Companies, Wal-Mart Stores and Abbott Labs.
As we look forward into the next twelve months, investors have plenty of things to worry about – the “fiscal cliff,” slow economic growth, high unemployment, the government deficit to name a few. However, each and every year it seems there is a laundry list of things to worry about, and next year you can be sure that investors will have new worries on their minds. At the AMF Large Cap Equity Fund, your portfolio management team prefers to focus on company specific fundamentals and valuation. By identifying investments that offer the opportunity for long-term sustainable earnings and dividend growth and making acquisitions when valuations are attractive, we feel that long-term wealth creation can be achieved even as investor sentiment ebbs and flows over the course of time. In fact pessimism is often our friend, as it is during those times that valuations are often most attractive.

Asset Management Fund (the “Trust”) was reorganized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 30, 1999, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management company. As of October 31, 2012, the Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares in six separate series: the Ultra Short Mortgage Fund, the Ultra Short Fund, the Short U.S. Government Fund, the Intermediate Mortgage Fund, the U.S. Government Mortgage Fund and the Large Cap Equity Fund (referred to individually as a “Fund” and collectively as the “Funds”). Each of the Funds, except the Large Cap Equity Fund, offer a single class of shares. The Large Cap Equity Fund is authorized to issue two classes of shares: Class AMF Shares and Class H Shares. Class AMF and Class H Shares of the Large Cap Equity Fund have the same rights and obligations except: (i) Class AMF Shares bear a distribution fee, while Class H Shares do not have any distribution fee, which will cause Class AMF Shares to have a higher expense ratio and to pay lower dividends than those related to Class H Shares; (ii) other expenses, which are determined to properly apply to one class of shares upon approval by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“Board”), will be borne solely by the class to which such expenses are attributable; and (iii) each class will have exclusive voting rights with respect to the matters relating to its own distribution arrangements. The Money Market Fund was liquidated on August 15, 2012. Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund. The Trust maintains an insurance policy that insures its officers and trustees against certain liabilities. A. Significant accounting policies are as follows: SECURITY VALUATION Investments are recorded at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The valuation techniques employed by the Funds, as described below, maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. These inputs are summarized in the following three broad levels: • Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets • Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) • Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) | | The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. For example, certain short-term debt securities are valued using amortized cost. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current value of a security, but since this valuation is not obtained from a quoted price in an active market, such securities would be reflected as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Funds’ prices for equity securities are generally provided by an independent third party pricing service approved by the Board as of the close of the regular trading session of the New York Stock Exchange, normally at 4:00 pm EST, each business day on which the share price of each Fund is calculated. Equity securities listed or traded on a primary exchange are valued at the closing price, if available, or the last sales price on the primary exchange. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the securities will be valued at the latest bid quotations as of the close of the primary exchange. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies. In these types of situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Funds’ debt and other fixed income securities are generally valued at an evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing source approved by the Board. To value debt securities, pricing services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as market activity, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, call features, credit ratings and other data, as well as broker quotes. Short-term debt securities of sufficient credit quality that mature within sixty days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. If a pricing service is unable to provide valuations for a particular security or securities, or the Adviser has determined that such valuations are unreliable, the Funds will fair value the security or securities pursuant to the fair valuation methodology of the Adviser approved by the Board. Within the fair value pricing methodology used by the Adviser, among the more specific factors that are considered in determining the fair value of investments in debt instruments are: (1) information obtained with respect to market transactions in such securities or comparable securities; (2) the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable securities; (3) the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; (4) quotations from broker/dealers, yields, maturities, ratings and various relationships between securities; and (5) evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which these securities are purchased and sold. The fair valuation process also takes into consideration factors such as interest rate changes, movements in credit spreads, default rate assumptions, repayment assumptions, type and quality of collateral, and security seasoning. Imprecision in estimating fair value can impact the amount of unrealized appreciation or |

| | |
depreciation recorded for a particular security, and differences in the assumptions used could result in a different determination of fair value, and those differences could be material. Depending on the source and relative significance of the valuation inputs in these instances, the instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair value pricing, including evaluated prices obtained from pricing services, is inherently a process of estimates and judgments. Fair value prices may fluctuate less than market prices due to technical issues which may impact the prices at which the Funds can purchase or sell securities. Market prices can be impacted by technical factors such as short term changes in market liquidity and volatility which may not directly impact | | fair value prices. There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio of investments at the fair value price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In addition, changes in the value of portfolio investments priced at fair value may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of securities that trade frequently in the marketplace, resulting in potentially greater NAV volatility. While the Trust’s policy is intended to result in a calculation of a Fund’s NAV that fairly reflects security values at the time of pricing, the Trust cannot ensure that fair value prices would accurately reflect the price that a Fund could obtain for a security if it were to dispose of that security, particularly in a forced or distressed sale. |
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of October 31, 2012:

As of October 31, 2012, there were no Level 3 securities held by the Funds. The Trust’s policy is to disclose transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 as of October 31, 2012, based on levels assigned to securities as of October 31, 2011. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS With the exception of the Ultra Short Fund and Large Cap Equity Fund, obligations of the U.S. Government or other | | obligations that are not subject to any investment limitation on the part of national banks may be purchased from government securities dealers or the custodian bank, subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase them at an agreed upon date and price. The value of collateral underlying the repurchase agreement will always be at least equal to the repurchase price, including any accrued interest earned on the repurchase agreement. If the counterparty defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by Funds may be delayed or limited. |

SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED OR DELAYED-DELIVERY BASIS Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. In when-issued transactions, securities are bought or sold during the period between the announcement of an offering and the issuance and payment date of the securities. When securities are purchased on a delayed-delivery basis, the price of the securities is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is made, but settlement may take place at a future date. By the time of delivery, securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be valued at less than the purchase price. At the time when-issued or delayed-delivery securities are purchased, the Fund must set aside funds in a segregated account to pay for the purchase, and until acquisition, the Fund will not earn any income on the securities that it purchased. There were no when-issued securities held in the Funds as of October 31, 2012. DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS Ultra Short Mortgage Fund, Ultra Short Fund, Short U.S. Government Fund, Intermediate Mortgage Fund and U.S. Government Mortgage Fund: Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Large Cap Equity Fund: Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid at least quarterly. Net short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. For all Funds, distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. reclass of dividend distribution and return of capital), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Distributions to shareholders that exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes are reported as distributions of capital. FEDERAL TAXES No provision is made for Federal income taxes as it is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. | | For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions, management of the Funds has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements. Open tax years are those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Furthermore, management of the Funds is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. MANAGEMENT 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 that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. OTHER Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on the trade date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis, amortization and accretion is recognized based on the anticipated effective maturity date, and the cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage- and asset-backed securities are recorded as adjustments to interest income in the Statement of Operations. B.

On April 24, 2012 Watertown Savings Bank commenced a civil action in the Circuit Court of Cook County against Asset Management Fund, specifically the Ultra Short and Ultra Short Mortgage Funds. As a result of the civil action, the Ultra Short Mortgage and Ultra Short Fund incurred legal expenses of $72,192 and $1,254 respectively, during the period covered by the report. These legal expenses have been included in the Statements of Operations under legal expenses for each Fund. In addition to the legal | | expense incurred, a corresponding legal expense reimbursement from the Funds’ insurance carrier has also been included in the Statements of Operations under expenses reduced for each Fund. The additional legal fees and corresponding expense reimbursement incurred in connection with this civil action resulted in no net asset value impact to either Fund. |

* A portion of the capital loss carry-forwards may be subject to limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, and is available to the extent allowed by tax law to offset future net capital gain, if any.
| | |
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, Ultra Short Mortgage Fund, Ultra Short Fund, Intermediate Mortgage Fund, Short U.S. Government Fund and U.S. Government Mortgage Fund had net capital loss carry-forward amounts expire of $24,633,492, $1,616,100, $2,138,415, $104,641 and $2,082,704, respectively. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) eliminated the eight year limit on the use of capital loss carryforwards that arise in taxable years beginning after its enactment date of December 22, 2010. The changes became effective for the Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012. Consequently, capital losses incurred by the Funds in taxable years beginning with the taxable year ended October 31, 2012 can be carried | | forward for an unlimited period. However, capital losses incurred by the Funds in taxable years beginning before the taxable year ended October 31, 2012 with an expiration date may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning with the taxable year ended October 31, 2012 without an expiration date have been utilized. As a result, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The Funds’ ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations based on the results of future transactions. |
| | | | | | | |
Capital losses incurred that will be carried forward under the provisions of the Act are as follows: | |
Fund | | Short Term Capital Loss Carryforward | | Long Term Capital Loss Carryforward | |
Ultra Short Mortgage Fund | | $ | 1,310,284 | | $ | 456,410 | |
Short U.S. Government Fund | | | 103,746 | | | 38,114 | |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) |
OCTOBER 31, 2012 |
|
| | |
Dividends and distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations and may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for deferral of losses on wash sales. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate components of net assets in the period that these differences arise. F. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On December 28, 2010, West Texas National Bank (“WTNB”) commenced a FINRA arbitration proceeding against Shay Financial Services, Inc. (“Shay Financial”). WTNB alleges violation of state securities laws, negligent misrepresentation, breach of fiduciary duty, and other theories, and seeks damages of approximately $27.6 million and other costs relating to alleged losses from certain investments in mortgage-backed securities. In the alternative, Claimant seeks rescission for the purchase price of approximately $101 million paid for the original securities. In addition, WTNB seeks punitive damages, interest, costs and attorneys fees. On August 18, 2011, Citizens Community Federal (“CCF”) commenced a FINRA arbitration proceeding against Shay Financial. CCF alleges breach of fiduciary duties, negligent misrepresentation, and seeks damages of approximately $14 million and other costs relating to alleged losses from certain investments in mortgage-backed securities. In the alternative, CCF seeks rescission for the original purchase price of approximately $71 million paid for the securities. In addition, CCF seeks punitive damages, interest, costs and attorneys fees. On November 11, 2011, Town North Bank, N.A. (“TNB”) commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Texas, against Shay Financial. TNB alleges violations of federal securities law, fraud, and breach of fiduciary duty, and seeks approximately $64 million in damages from Shay Financial relating to alleged losses from investments in certain mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. TNB also seeks punitive damages, interest, costs and attorneys fees. On April 23, 2012 Watertown Savings Bank (“WSB”) commenced a FINRA arbitration proceeding against Shay Financial and on April 24, 2012, WSB commenced a civil action in the Circuit Court of Cook County against Shay Assets Management, Inc. (“Shay Assets”), Asset Management Fund, the Ultra Short Fund, Ultra Short Mortgage Fund and Rodger D. Shay, Jr. The factual allegations in both of these actions are similar and arise from alleged | | investment losses resulting from WSB’s investments in certain AMF Funds. In the FINRA matter, WSB alleges Shay Financial violated the Florida Securities and Investor Protection Act and FINRA Rules, violated Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, violated the Investment Company Act of 1940, violated the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, breached its fiduciary duties and failed to supervise its employees and WSB’s accounts and seeks rescissionary damages against Shay Financial of approximately $44 million, plus punitive damages, interest, costs and attorneys fees. In the Circuit Court matter, WSB sought to bring causes of action for common law fraud, conspiracy to commit common law fraud, aiding and abetting common law fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and negligent misrepresentation and sought compensatory damages against Shay Assets of approximately $43 million. On November 26, 2012, the Circuit Court dismissed Watertown’s complaint in its entirety, but granted Watertown leave to file an amended complaint by January 15, 2013. Defendants were given until February 12, 2013 to renew their motions to dismiss or otherwise respond if Watertown amends its Complaint. On July 6 2012, Your Community Credit Union (“YCCU”), commenced a civil action in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas against Shay Financial and one Shay employee. YCCU alleges fraud and breach of fiduciary duty, and seeks restitution and damages of at least $2.5 million relating to alleged losses from investments in mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations. YCCU also seeks punitive damages, interest, costs and attorney’s fees. There is no assurance that additional legal actions arising out of these circumstances will not be filed against Shay Assets, Shay Financial, the Funds, Rodger D. Shay and/or Rodger D. Shay, Jr. The Adviser and Distributor are unable to predict the potential range of monetary exposure, if any, but believe that claims asserted in each of the above-referenced actions are without merit and each intends to vigorously defend itself against all actions. However, an unfavorable result could have a material adverse effect on the Funds, Adviser and/or the Distributor. |

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Ultra Short Mortgage Fund, Ultra Short Fund, Short U.S. Government Fund, Intermediate Mortgage Fund, U.S. Government Mortgage Fund, and Large Cap Equity Fund (collectively referred to as the “Funds”) at October 31, 2012, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2012 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 from May 1, 2012 through October 31, 2012. | | ACTUAL EXPENSES The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | Beginning Account Value 5/1/12 | | | Ending Account Value 10/31/12 | | | | Expense Paid During Period* 5/1/12 - 10/31/12 | | | Expense Ratio During Period** 5/1/12 - 10/31/12 | |

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES 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 this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. |
