Dear Fellow Shareholders: | July 20, 2011 |
I am pleased to enclose the Fund’s semi-annual report for the six-month period ending June 30, 2011. Since year-end, the market, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index, appreciated 6.01% with most of the advance occurring in the first quarter, rising 5.92%. The second quarter saw renewed market volatility for equity investors as they focused on the possibility of a Greek debt default and a “double dip” in the U.S. economy.
The fixed income markets, as measured by the Barclay’s Capital Intermediate Gov’t/Credit Bond Index, appreciated 2.47% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2011. Most of this gain occurred in the second quarter, up 2.12%, as the Federal Reserve indicated a desire to keep rates low for “an extended period,” reaffirming its commitment to bolster economic growth.
Global economic growth was subdued in the first half of the year due to the natural disaster in Japan and renewed fears of European debt defaults. Domestically, concerns surrounding the end of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing policy, over burdened government debt levels, and issues surrounding the raising of the government borrowing debt ceiling dampened investors’ enthusiasm for equities.
Second Half Outlook
Despite a plethora of concerns such as a weak housing market, high unemployment rates, higher oil prices and worldwide debt problems, we continue to find attractive investment opportunities that we believe mitigate these risks. Corporate balance sheets are very strong and earnings continue to post healthy gains. Many multinational corporations are benefiting from the strong growth in emerging economies including China, India and Brazil. We continue to believe that high quality growth companies and intermediate term, investment grade bonds are the most attractive investments to generate solid long-term returns. Current valuations appear to be commensurate with an economic “soft patch” that we are experiencing today. We are encouraged by the fact that required austerity measures (worldwide) are highly visible and gradually being addressed, which we believe long-term will be very positive in enhancing future valuation levels.
We are dedicated to helping our shareholders achieve their long-term investment goals. We appreciate that you have entrusted us with your assets and promise to do our very best to enhance long-term investment returns.
Thank you for being a valued shareholder.

Principal Risks:
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. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in Asset Backed and Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. The Monetta Funds, at the discretion of the Portfolio Manager, may invest in Initial Public Offerings (IPO’s) which could 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, 2011, the Funds did not participate in IPO’s.
The Monetta Young Investor Fund invests approximately 50% of its net assets in ETF’s (Exchange Traded Funds) and other funds seeking to 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 period ended June 30, 2011, 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 the Funds are no-load, management and other expenses still apply. Please refer to the prospectus for further details.

Commentary |
For the six-month period ending June 30, 2011, the Fund gained 1.77% versus a 6.01% return for the S&P 500 Index. For the one-year period ending June 30, 2011, the Fund was up 34.39%, surpassing the 30.68% return of its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.
The Fund’s performance variance since year-end was primarily due to the Fund’s weighting in the transportation, financial, and housing sectors of the market. These sectors lagged due to increasing investor concerns that the U.S. recovery had stalled, increasing the possibility of a double-dip economic slow down. Hindering performance were the holdings in the AMR Corporation, Ford Motor Company and Bank of America, representing 3.29%, 1.94% and 2.06% of the June 30, 2011 portfolio.
The best performing sectors included healthcare, energy, and industrials. Specifically, the Fund’s top performing holdings included MasterCard, Inc., Wynn Resorts Ltd. and United Health Group, Inc., representing 2.66%, 1.62% and 1.94% respectively of the June 30, 2011 portfolio.
New purchases since year-end included Polypore International, a developer of polymer based membranes for energy and healthcare markets, Southwest Energy Co., an oil exploration company, and Praxair Inc., a manufacturer of atmospheric gases, representing 1.21%, 1.29% and 1.02% respectively of the June 30, 2011 portfolio.
Although U.S. economic growth in the first half was subdued, we expect improvements in the second half as corporate balance sheets are strong and earnings continue to post healthy gains. We view market fluctuations as opportunities to consolidate into our stronger company holdings and/or invest in new growth opportunities that demonstrate improving earnings prospects and sustainable sales growth.

Commentary |
The Monetta Young Investor Fund, for the six-month period ending June 30, 2011, gained 4.93% versus a 6.01% return of its benchmark, S&P 500 Index. For the one-year period ended June 30, 2011 the Fund was up 34.59% versus a 30.68% return of the S&P 500 Index.
The return variance relative to the Index since year-end was primarily due to the Fund’s holdings in AMR Corporation and Ford Motor Company representing 2.10% and 1.53% at June 30, 2011. The transportation sector lagged the general market uptrend primarily due to concerns surrounding a sluggish U.S. economic recovery. On the positive side, the Fund’s best performing holdings included the companies in the consumer discretionary sector such as Ulta Salon Cosmetics Fragrance, Inc., Crocs, Inc., and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, representing 1.08%, 1.43% and 1.49% of the June 30, 2011 portfolio.
Since year-end, we realized gains by selling the holdings in Panera Bread Company, General Electric, and Starbuck’s Corporation. New purchases included Bed Bath & Beyond Inc., Stanley Black & Decker, Inc., and Whole Foods Market, Inc. representing 0.97%, 0.80% and 1.76% of the June 30, 2011 portfolio.
As we enter the second half of the year, a major focus for investors is the degree to which the U.S. economy will recover. Of equal concern are the political issues over the raising of the Government debt ceiling and the corresponding entitlement spending cuts required to reduce the deficit.
We do not believe we are headed toward negative economic growth but rather a period of very gradual but uneven pattern of growth. Although government balance sheets are over burdened with debt, corporate balance sheets are strong and earnings continue to post healthy gains. We continue to believe that security valuations, especially in the consumer discretionary group, offer attractive long-term investment returns.

Commentary |
The Monetta Mid-Cap Fund finished the six-month period ending June 30, 2011 up 2.80%. This return lagged its benchmark, the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index, which was up 8.56%. For the one-year period ending June 30, 2011 the Fund gained 34.03% versus the 39.38% return of its benchmark Index. The difference in performance during the first half of this year was mainly due to the Fund’s heavy weighting in the information technology sector. Specifically, companies, such as Akamai Technologies Inc., Monster Worldwide, Inc., and Acme Packet, Inc. hampered the Fund’s performance – all of which were sold prior to June 30, 2011. In addition, the Fund was hurt by the overall decline in the financial sector, which represented 11.3% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2010. Stocks such as Genworth Financial, Inc. (CL A), Comerica, Inc., and Lazard Ltd. underperformed the market and kept the Fund at bay. These stocks, and others that did not meet our expectations, were sold prior to June 30, 2011.
While the technology and financial sectors were the trouble areas of the Fund, the consumer discretionary sector was its shining star. Specifically, the Fund benefited from holdings in Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Fossil Inc., Priceline.com Inc., and Dollar Tree Inc., representing 4.80%, 4.02%, 3.75%, and 5.04% respectively, of June 30, 2011 total net assets.
We have made several changes to the Fund’s holdings to get it back on track. We believe the technology sector will be a leader in the second half of the year and we consolidated our holdings into our favorite names. At June 30, 2011, the technology sector represented 25.6% of the portfolio. We continue to believe the consumer discretionary sector will be a market leading sector and have substantially increased our exposure to the sector from 12.1% to 30.0% as of June 30, 2011. We do not have the same enthusiasm for the financial or housing sectors and will stay on the sidelines until we see signs that economic growth is sustainable.
We continue to monitor the Fund’s holdings and look for opportunities, throughout all sectors, to meet the Fund’s long-term objective by investing primarily in mid-cap growth companies that we believe offer above-average long term growth potential.

Commentary |
The Intermediate Bond Fund, for the six-month period ending June 30, 2011, gained 3.01% versus its benchmark, Barclay’s Capital Intermediate Gov’t/Credit Bond Index, return of 2.47%. For the one-year period ending June 30, 2011 the Fund was up 5.29% exceeding the 3.77% return of its benchmark index.
Since year-end the positive performance variance was primarily due to the Fund’s short duration, emphasis on high quality corporate bond holdings, and underweighting in the high yield bond sector.
During the first half, the Fund’s average duration declined from 4.16 years to 3.61 years at June 30, 2011. Issue weightings in the 6-10 year maturity sector were reduced from 34.20% to 22.62% while the 1-3 year sector increased to 26.37% from 16.24%. The Fund’s average weighted coupon rate increased from 6.27% to 6.58%. New purchases since year-end included Chesapeake Energy Corporation 9.50% due 2/15/15 and Hartford Financial Service Group 4.00% due 3/30/15 representing 5.56% and 3.20% of the June 30, 2011 portfolio.
As we enter the second half of 2011 we expect an economy that will gradually improve as housing remains sluggish, unemployment stays high and higher oil prices hamper growth. Despite the end of QE2, the Federal Reserve has indicated a policy to keep rates low for “an extended period” reaffirming our commitment to a high quality, low duration investment portfolio. We continue to favor corporate bonds over mortgages and treasury issues. We believe the Fund is strategically positioned to minimize portfolio volatility while providing a reinvestment opportunity in the event that interest rates begin to trend higher.

Disclosure of Fund Expenses | June 30, 2011 |
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, 2011 - June 30, 2011.
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.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Monetta Fund, Inc. (Monetta Fund) is an open-end diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), as amended. The objective of the Monetta Fund is capital appreciation by investing primarily in equity securities believed to have above average growth potential. The Fund presently invests primarily in growth companies of all market capitalization ranges.
Monetta Trust (the Trust) is an open-end diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act), as amended. The following funds are series of the Trust:
Young Investor Fund. The primary objective of this Fund is long-term capital growth by investing approximately 50% of its assets in exchange traded funds (ETF’s) and other funds seeking to track the S&P 500 Index and the remainder of its assets in common stocks of individual companies that produce products or provide services that are recognized by children and teenagers.
Mid-Cap Equity Fund. The primary objective of this Fund is long-term capital growth by investing in common stocks believed to have above average growth potential. The Fund typically invests in companies within a market capitalization range of $1 billion to $10 billion.
Orion/Monetta Intermediate Bond Fund. The objective of this Fund is to seek high current income consistent with the preservation of capital by investing primarily in marketable debt securities.
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 not 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 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, 2011 |
(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, 2010, the loss carryforwards amounted to:
| | | | |
Expiration Date |
Monetta Fund |
Young Investor Fund |
Mid-Cap Equity Fund | Orion/Monetta Intermediate Bond Fund |
2012 | | | $3,355 | |
2016 | $810,527 | | $671,399 | |
2017 | $2,241,956 | | $50,398 | |
Total | $3,052,483 | $ 0 | $725,152 | $0 |
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. Management has reviewed the Funds’ tax positions for all tax periods open to examination by the applicable U.S. federal and Illinois tax jurisdictions (tax years ended December 31, 2007 - 2010), in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 740-10, and no tax exposure reserve was required in the financial statements.
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
23
| | | | | | |
Notes To Financial Statements | June 30, 2011 |
(e) Distributions of Incomes and Gains Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date. 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, 2010 the Monetta Fund and Monetta Mid-Cap Equity Fund had net operating losses of $478,477 and $112,108, respectively, for tax purposes which were permanently reclassified from accumulated undistributed net investment income to accumulated paid-in capital (APIC).
As of December 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows: |
|
Monetta Fund
| Young Investor Fund
| Mid-Cap Equity Fund
| Orion/Monetta Intermediate Bond Fund |
Undistributed Ordinary Income | --- | $329 | --- | --- |
Undistributed Short-Term Capital Gain | --- | $148,178 | | $16,116 |
Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gain | --- | $36,039 | --- | $75,287 |
The tax character of distributions paid during the calendar year ended December 31, 2010, were as follows: |
|
Monetta Fund
| Young Investor Fund
| Mid-Cap Equity
Fund | Orion/Monetta Intermediate Bond Fund |
Ordinary Income | --- | $246,843 | --- | $389,088 |
Long-Term Capital Gain | --- | $26,180 | --- | $64,655 |
(f) Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820-10, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments;
• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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.
