Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-800-Monetta, or visiting www.Monetta.com
Principal Risks:
Excluding the Government Money Market Fund, the Monetta Funds, at the discretion of the Portfolio Manager, may invest in Initial Public Offerings (IPO’s) which will significantly impact its performance. Due to the speculative nature of IPO’s, there can be no assurance that IPO participation will continue and that IPO’s will have a positive effect on the fund’s performance. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Funds did not participate in IPO’s. Historically, small company stocks and mid-cap company stocks have been more volatile than large company stocks, including the increased risk of price fluctuations. Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. Thi s risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.
The Monetta Young Investor Fund will invest at least 50% of its assets in exchange traded funds (ETF's) or other funds that track the S&P 500 Index. The cost of investing in the shares of ETF's will generally be lower than investing in other mutual funds that track an index, which will be subject to certain risks which are unique to tracking the Index. However, if the Fund invests in other mutual funds that track an index, your cost of investing will generally be higher. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Young Investor Fund's other fund investments consisted only of ETF's.
Please refer to the prospectus for further details.

Limiting the purchase of individual stocks to companies that produce products or provide services that are recognized by children or teenagers may also be a risk if this sector underperforms, which can be significantly affected by the performance of the overall economy, interest rates, competition, consumer confidence and spending, and changes in demographics and consumer tastes.
All investments, including those in mutual funds, have risks and principal loss is possible.
While each of the Monetta Funds is no-load, management and other expenses still apply. Please refer to the prospectus for further details.
References to individual securities are the views of the Adviser at the date of this report and are subject to change. References are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Fund holdings and compositions are subject to change.
Participation in a dollar cost averaging plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against a loss in declining markets.
Since indices are unmanaged, it is not possible to invest in them. Sources for performance data include Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. (Lipper) and Bloomberg L.P.
Monetta Financial Services, Inc. (MFSI) is the investment adviser to the Monetta Funds. The adviser has contracted with Sage Scholars, Inc. to offer Tuition Rewards™ (credits) to all Monetta Fund Shareholders that enroll in the Tuition Rewards™ program through Monetta's website.
Tuition Rewards™ are remitted solely as a reduction from the college's full tuition bill, and are not awarded in cash. Tuition Rewards™ accumulate annually, equal to 2.5% of the Monetta account value on June 30 and December 31 of each year and do not expire. The credit amount that an enrollee can earn is unlimited. However, the maximum credit amount that any one student can use for a four-year undergraduate education is $24,700 or $6,175 per year. When you enroll to receive Tuition Rewards™ you become a sponsor. A sponsor must identify an eligible student at least two years before beginning college and can sponsor multiple students from the same family, including relatives. College's may blend Tuition Rewards™ into the total financial reward package they offer to students. For custodial accounts, MFSI has a "college savings program" where these Monetta Shareholders automatical ly receive an investment kit, a quarterly newsletter, various educational materials and in addition, if enrolled, will receive Tuition Rewards™ credits. All cost for the College Savings Program including participation in the Tuition Rewards™ program are paid by MFSI.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:
July 27, 2007
We are pleased to report a period of solid investment performance for the Monetta Funds. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Monetta Fund and Mid-Cap Equity Fund were up 12.57% and 13.04%, respectively. The Balanced Fund appreciated 4.71% and the newly launched Young Investor Fund rose 5.43% during this same period. In the fixed income area, the Intermediate Bond Fund and Government Money Market Fund were up 1.32% and 2.45%, respectively, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.
The fund's results generally compare favorably to the S&P 500 Index and the Lehman Brothers Gov't/Credit Bond Index, which were up 6.96% and .97%, respectively, since year end.
Most of the stock market advance occurred in the second quarter of 2007, as the S&P 500 Index advanced 6.27%. The best performing sectors were energy, basic materials and telecommunications, which benefited from rising energy and commodity prices as well as strong global growth. The effect of strong global growth has put upward pressure on domestic interest rates and specifically the housing and credit markets as borrowing cost for consumers and businesses increased. As a result, the worst performing sectors during the first half were the financial, consumer discretionary and consumer staples groups.
Market Outlook
Looking ahead, market direction is virtually impossible to predict. As a harbinger of things to come, we pay close attention to changes in relative strength, the direction of corporate earnings and trading volume to guide us in our stock selections and industry weightings. As a result, we continue to see opportunities in technology, energy, industrials and healthcare sectors while remaining under-weighted in the areas of housing and financial services.
It appears that even though the weakening housing market is a key domestic concern, many investors believe that this weakness can be offset by strong global growth, which continues to support U.S. employment and wage trends.
We continue to screen for investment opportunities that, in our view, are consistent earnings growth companies and market share leaders. Our long-term objective is to produce above-average rates of return while maintaining a low risk profile.
We thank you for being a fellow shareholder in the Monetta Funds.
Sincerely,
![[fundncsrs06302007004.gif]](https://capedge.com/proxy/N-CSRS/0000783194-07-000012/fundncsrs06302007004.gif)

Commentary |
We are pleased to report the fund's return of 12.57% and 16.27% for the six-month period and one year ended June 30, 2007, respectively. This compares to the S&P 500 Index return of 6.96% and 20.57%, respectively, for the above mentioned periods.
There were several factors that contributed positively to the fund's overall returns. Among these were the weightings in the energy and industrial sectors as well as the underweighted position in the financial sector.
Specifically, the top performing holdings included National-Oilwell Varco, Inc., Precision Castparts Corp., Schlumberger Ltd. and Transocean, Inc., representing 1.74%, 1.01%, 1.42% and 2.13%, respectively, of the June 30, 2007 net asset value.
The detractors from performance were a few healthcare and housing related stocks, such as AMGEN, Inc., Applera Corp., and D.R. Horton, Inc., all of which were sold during the period as prices declined on above average volume.
Our investment approach is not to buy and sell the market but rather invest in companies that we believe demonstrate improving relative strength, above average growth prospects and increasing institutional ownership. We do not attempt to set price targets but rather sell a security as it begins to decline on above average volume relative to the market and/or its industry sector. We consider investing in companies of all sizes, sectors and investment styles focusing on improving revenues and earnings growth expectations.
We continue to observe opportunities in the energy, consumer discretionary and materials processing sectors while under-weighting in the housing, auto and banking sectors. We believe in a diversified, well balanced fund as demonstrated by owning just over 100 securities in the portfolio at June 30, 2007. The fund's largest portfolio holding was the oil service company Transocean, Inc., representing 2.13% of the mid-year net asset value.
Recent fund purchases include SanDisk Corp., Costco Wholesale Corp., MGM Mirage, Inc., and Shanda Interactive Entertainment Ltd. representing 0.82%, 0.78%, 0.69% and 0.67%, respectively, of the June 30, 2007 net asset value.

Commentary |
The newly launched Young Investor Fund (YIF) posted a six-month return, through June 30, 2007, of 5.43%. This fund has approximately 50% of its portfolio invested in Exchange Traded Funds (ETF's) that track the S&P 500 Index and the other 50% in consumer discretionary stocks, that are recognized by kids and young adults, that we believe have above average, long-term growth prospects.
The consumer discretionary sector encompasses industries that tend to be the most sensitive to economic cycles. Since year end, this sector was one of the worst performing groups in the S&P 500 Index, underperforming the Index by over 4%. In spite of this, the YIF performance has been solid as the ETF's helped offset the general weakness of the consumer discretionary sector.
During the first half of 2007, the top performing holdings included Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc., Hasbro, Inc., and McDonald's Corp., representing 3.15%, 2.32% and 2.38%, respectively, of the June 30, 2007 net asset value. The worst performing security was Starbucks Corp., where half the position was sold, representing 0.88% of the June 30, 2007 net asset value. Investors became increasingly concerned that Starbucks was losing market share to McDonald's premium coffee brands.
At June 30, 2007, the fund held 28 securities representing 48.4% of total net assets. Recent purchases include Target Corp., Kohl's Corp. and Crocs, Inc., representing 1.42%, 1.59% and 1.25%, respectively, of June 30, 2007 net asset value. Fund investments are generally focused in the large capitalization, brand name growth companies with strong balance sheets and, in our opinion, good long-term earnings prospects.
The consumer discretionary sector appears to already reflect negative news from higher energy cost and the slumping housing market. A key factor that may steer investor interest toward this sector is the Federal Reserve's monetary policy. Historically, a decline in the Federal Fund's Rate has been a positive signal for this sector as inflation concerns are diminished.

Commentary |
We are pleased to report the fund's return of 13.04% and 14.13%, respectively, for the six-month period and one year period ended June 30, 2007. This compares to the returns of its benchmark index, the S&P Mid-Cap 400 Index, of 11.98% and 18.51%, respectively, for the same periods.
Since year end, the Fund benefited from its positions in the industrial and energy related sectors. Top performing holdings included Commscope, Inc., Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., Valero Energy Corp. and Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc., representing 2.82%, 2.61%, 2.38% and 3.27%, respectively, of June 30, 2007 net asset value. We were quick to sell underperforming issues, eliminating positions in Akamai Technologies, Inc. and American Science and Engineering, Inc. as earnings were reported below analyst estimates.
In terms of sector weightings, the fund is over-weighted in the healthcare, energy and technology areas while under-weighted in the financial sector. We ended the six-month period with fifty-one security holdings, with NII Holdings, Inc. (the fund’s largest individual holding,) representing 3.90% of the June 30, 2007 net asset value.
We believe the portfolio is well positioned as we enter the second half of 2007. We are primarily targeting companies with market capitalization between $1 and $10 billion. We focus on those companies that have had improving revenue/earnings growth, exceeded analyst expectations and demonstrated improving relative strength as measured by price and volume acceleration. We do not establish price targets but rather sell securities on above-average price and volume weakness, which we believe is a harbinger of movement in advance of its actual occurrence.
We are beginning to detect increased short-term market volatility in many companies and sectors, which suggest a market that may be moderately extended. While overall corporate growth projections continue to increase, the major market risk appears to be changing inflation expectations that could impact Federal Reserve monetary policy and long-term economic growth projections.

The Balanced Fund reported an investment return of 4.71% for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. During the period the equity and fixed income performance of the fund were 7.90% and (.09%), respectively, which compares to the returns of 6.96% for the S&P 500 Index and 0.97% for the Lehman Brothers Gov't/Credit Bond Index, for the same period.
At June 30, 2007, the fund's portfolio mix consisted of 63% equity and 37% in fixed income securities. The fund's portfolio held 28 equity securities, with the largest holding being Gilead Sciences, Inc., representing 3.68% of the June 30, 2007 net asset value.
Since year end, the top performing equity securities were Valero Energy Corp., Gilead Sciences, Inc., TXU Corp. and Smith Int'l, Inc. representing 2.34%, 3.68%, 0.00% and 1.85% of June 30, 2007 net asset value.
The fund's fixed income portion of the portfolio consisted of approximately 26% invested in agency and treasury issues and 74% in corporates. Overall, the fund is positioned defensively with an average duration of 4.46 years. The corporate securities are weighted more toward the shorter maturities.
It appears that with continued corporate growth and strong employment trends, it is reasonable to assume that consumer spending and corporate earnings should continue to support current market valuations. What may derail the markets is higher inflation expectations and interest rates, which could be detrimental to the already weak housing and subprime mortgage market. Over the near term, we are not expecting much of a change in the fund's overall asset mix, especially in the fixed income component, which is already positioned defensively. The Fund's equity component will continue to emphasize large capitalization growth companies that we believe have above average, long-term growth prospects.

Commentary |
The Monetta Intermediate Bond Fund gained 1.32% during the first half of 2007 versus its benchmark Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit index return of 1.44% for the same period. During the first half of 2007, the fund's portfolio holdings rated "A" or better increased from approximately 78% to 82% with a current duration of 4.69 years, at June 30, 2007.
Since year-end 2006, corporate bond weightings were reduced from approximately 70% to 58% of the portfolio. During the same period, the Government Agency sector increased from 15% to 21% of the portfolio while exposure to taxable municipal securities rose from 1.4% to 6.3%.
The investment approach, during the first half of 2007, was to maintain a diversified and defensive strategy by investing in high quality bonds that generate high current income with shorter maturities. As of June 30, 2007, the fund's average yield to maturity was 5.78% with an average coupon return of 7.02%.
During the first half of 2007, the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) maintained its target for the federal funds rate at 5.25 percent. Although inflation pressures seem likely to moderate over the long-term, we believe inflation expectations could worsen near-term as energy and food prices push U.S. overall CPI inflation higher in the second half of 2007. The U.S. economy appears to have digested the weakness in housing, autos and subprime mortgage markets primarily due to strong overseas growth that continues to support domestic employment, wage growth and overall consumer confidence.
We expect the FOMC may hold on interest rates through the remainder of 2007, due to the offsetting concerns of inflation and the subprime mortgage debacle. We will continue to keep the fund positioned defensively, while maintaining a high quality investment portfolio.

An investment in the Government Money Market Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund. The hypothetical graph above compares the change in value of a $10,000 investment in the Monetta Government Money Market Fund to the Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Average. |
|
The Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds Average is a performance benchmark which includes funds invested principally in financial instruments issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, its agencies or its instrumentalities, with dollar-weighted average maturities of less than 90 days. |

**Total returns are net of advisory and distribution fees waived and voluntary absorption of all or part of the Fund’s operating expenses by the Advisor. Had fees not been waived, the 7-day yield would have been 4.39%, versus 4.94%, on June 30, 2007. The 7-day yield will vary, and the yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Fund than the total return quotation. Please refer to footnote at bottom of Page 2 and Page 3. |

Commentary |
The Monetta Government Money Market Fund gained 2.45% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. This compared favorably to the Lipper U.S. Government Money Market Funds average, which gained 2.25% for the same period.
The first six months of the year has been a "mixed treat" for investors at best, courtesy of a "June Swoon" brought on by a combination of global yield curve changes, anemic bond returns and spread sector valuation changes. This redistribution of risk was triggered in no small way by a poor housing market and exacerbated by the sub-prime mortgage woes that have negatively affected the markets.
As widely expected, the Federal Reserve held rates steady for the first half of 2007 and made no changes to its inflation outlook as it remains "somewhat elevated," according to Chairman Bernanke. Federal Funds futures no longer anticipate a rate cut this year and now we don't expect a move until well into 2008. The market is currently taking the Federal Reserve at its word as investors have steepened the yield curve dramatically.
As we head into the second half of the year, we are faced with a conundrum - on one hand, market fundamentals suggest economic weakness and moderating inflation which lead to Federal Reserve rate cuts, however on the other hand, the Federal Reserve indicated elevated inflation levels resulting in higher yield levels. Who's right? It is too early to tell because the major macroeconomic story in the first half of 2007 - declining housing market and sub prime mortgage issues - continues to bedevil us with no real recovery in sight. In the short run, it doesn't make sense to challenge the Federal Reserve until we have a better handle on how the consumer will respond to the weakening housing market.
The Fund does not anticipate any significant changes in investment strategy as we move into the second half of 2007. We are not yet convinced that the Federal Reserve will be cutting rates in the near term. We will continue to maintain a shorter average maturity and overweight the agency discount note sector because of the incremental yield benefit over Treasury Bills. There continues to be a strong historical precedent for the Federal Reserve to eventually cut short-term rates, given the current economic and interest rate environment, but it appears that it may be later rather than sooner.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses | June 30, 2007 |
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption fees; if any; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees (12b-1); 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 most recent semi-annual period, January 1, 2007 - June 30, 2007.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The example below includes, but is not limited to, management fees, distribution and shareholder servicing fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. However, the Example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses. You may use the information in this table, 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 "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The table below also 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 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.
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) on purchase payments and redemption fees, if any. Therefore, the hypothetical information 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.

The Monetta Family of Mutual Funds is comprised of the Monetta Fund, Inc. and each of the Trust Series and is collectively referred to as the Funds. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
(a) Securities Valuation
Investments are stated at market value based on the last reported sale price on national securities exchanges, or the NASDAQ Market, on the last business day of the period. Listed securities and securities traded on the over-the-counter markets that did not trade on the last business day are valued at the mean between closing bid and asked quotes provided by the exchange where the security is principally traded, or at the NASDAQ official closing prices if applicable. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of market quotations provided by pricing services approved by the Boards. Long-term debt securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued based on valuations provided by pricing services which may employ electronic data processing techniques, including a matrix system, to determine valuations. Short-term debt securities for which market quotations are no t readily available are valued by use of a matrix prepared by the Adviser based on quotations for comparable securities. The difference between the cost and fair value of such investments are reflected as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Debt securities, having maturities of 60 days or less, are stated at amortized cost, which is substantially equivalent to market value.
Securities held by the Government Money Market Fund are valued utilizing the amortized cost method, permitted in accordance with Rule 2(a)-7 under the 1940 Act, which amortizes discount/premium on a constant basis to the maturity of the security.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at their fair value in accordance with procedures established by the Boards of Directors and Trustees.

Notes To Financial Statements | June 30, 2007 |
(b) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the Funds’ management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(c) General
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Daily realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on the first-in, first-out cost basis. Interest income is recorded daily on the accrual basis and dividend income on the ex-dividend date. Bond discount/premium is amortized using the interest method and included in interest income, where applicable.
(d) Federal Income Taxes
It is each Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required. The Funds’ will utilize capital loss carry forwards as allowable, to minimize certain distributions of capital gains.
The Funds intend to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow them to carry a realized loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains. At December 31, 2006, the loss carryforwards amounted to:
| | | | |
Expiration Date | Monetta Fund | Mid-Cap Equity Fund | Balanced Fund | Intermediate Bond Fund |
2009 | $6,612,476 | $3,329,005 | $1,060,155 | |
2010 | $4,973,870 | $1,589,213 | $458,170 | |
2011 | | | | |
2012 | | $3,355 | | |
2013 | | | | |
2014 | | | | $24,178 |
Total | $11,586,346 | $4,921,573 | $1,518,325 | $24,178 |
Net realized gains or losses differ for financial reporting and tax purposes as a result of losses from wash sales and post October 31 losses which are not recognized for tax purposes until the first day of the following fiscal year.
(e) Distributions of Incomes and Gains
Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds (except for the Government Money Market Fund) on the ex-dividend date. The Government Money Market Fund declares dividends daily and automatically reinvests such dividends daily. Due to inherent differences in the characterization of short-term capital gains under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for federal income tax purposes, the amount of distributable net investment income for book and federal income tax purposes may differ.
For federal income tax purposes, a net operating loss recognized in the current year cannot be used to offset future year’s net investment income. For the year ended December 31, 2006 the Monetta Fund and Monetta Mid-Cap Equity Fund had net operating losses of $280,314 and $92,772, respectively, for tax purposes which were permanently reclassified from accumulated undistributed net investment income to accumulated paid-in capital (APIC).
Also, as a result of immaterial distributions in excess of net investment income, the Balanced Fund and the Intermediate Bond Fund permanently reclassified $3,220 and $2,632, respectively, from accumulated undistributed net investment income to accumulated paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, due to a reclassification of the character of distributions, the Intermediate Bond Fund permanently reclassified $37 from accumulated undistributed net investment income to accumulated undistributed net realized gains for the year ended December 31, 2006.

(f)
On January 1, 2007, the Monetta Fund and Monetta Trust adopted Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (FIN 48), which addresses the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. Under FIN 48, an entity may only recognize, or continue to recognize, tax positions that meet a "more likely than not" threshold. Implementation of FIN 48, and compliance with federal tax statutes for Registered Investment Companies, will not result in any cumulative adjustment to the Funds' financial position, effective January 1, 2007.
(g)
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional 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. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of Sept ember 30, 2006, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
