GROWTH FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW (Unaudited) (Continued) |

Management Commentary
The modest lag in the Fund’s performance relative to its benchmark during the first half of the fiscal year was attributable to both sector and issue selection, with the Health Care, Energy and Industrials sectors having the largest effect on overall relative performance. This positive impact was partially offset by the decision to overweight the Health Care sector as the sector performed the second worst overall among sectors in the S&P 500 during this period. Health Care had the largest overall positive impact on relative performance because of individual issue selection. Our decision to overweight Health Care stocks was based on a belief that the share prices of Fund holdings in that sector had been unfairly punished during the government health care debate, and that following the passage of a health-care reform bill these holdings would outperform their peers. We were correct about the attractiveness of many of the individual holdings in the Fund relative to other Health Care stocks, but overestimated the size of the bounce that the sector would receive. Going forward, if the sector rotates back into more widespread favor with investors, we feel the Fund is well positioned to take advantage of that change in sentiment.
Industrials and Energy were the two sectors that made the largest negative contribution to the Fund’s performance. Relative underperformance in the Energy sector was attributable to an overweight position that the Fund implemented roughly a month in advance of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The sector sank after the spill began, dragging the Fund’s holdings in that sector with it. Aside from the individual companies directly involved in the Deepwater Horizon rig, we believe the long-term consequences of the spill will actually be positive for most Energy stocks as any resulting constraint in supply growth stemming from the spill would be likely to increase oil and gas prices. Within the Industrials sector, the Fund’s relative underperformance was largely attributable to issue selection, as the holdings of the Fund, which we view as more defensive, did not keep up with the names that we see as more cyclical within the S&P 500.
Over the remainder of the fiscal year we expect the economy to continue to recover, and have positioned the Fund to take advantage of such a continued recovery if our expectation proves to be correct. We believe a more modest recovery, as opposed to a sharp “V”-shaped bounce, remains the most likely path of future growth. While at the end of the last fiscal year there was no evidence to support a “V” outlook, we are beginning to see some signs that to us signal that growth could occur faster than our more modest expectations. These signs have not been significant enough to change our prediction of which type of recovery is most likely, but they have been enough to bear watching. Most importantly, we believe the odds of a double-dip recession have declined. As a result, we have structured the sector weightings of the Fund and even its individual holdings in a way that we believe would perform well in such a growth environment. As long as we perceive that the fundamental data supporting our investment decisions is continuing to improve and that stocks remain attractively valued, we will maintain a positive outlook for equity market returns.

MIDCAP FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2010 |
Management Commentary
The MidCap Fund outperformed its benchmark during the first half of the fiscal year as a result of overall sector selection coupled with individual issue selection within the Technology and Consumer Staples sectors. These areas of strength were enough to offset relatively underperforming issue selection within the Industrials sector. The positive relative sector selection mostly came from decisions to underweight the Fund’s Utilities holdings and overweight its Consumer Discretionary holdings relative to the Fund’s benchmark. Within the Technology sector, JDS Uniphase, Akamai Technologies and Heartland Payment Systems stood out, with returns of 55%, 65% and 74%, respectively, during the six-month period, while many other holdings outpaced the benchmark’s average return for that sector as well. The Fund’s performance in the Consumer Staples sector benefited from the acquisition of Bare Escentuals by Japanese firm Shiseido at a healthy premium to its share price prior to the announcement of the acquisition.
On the other hand, the Fund’s relative underperformance in the Industrials sector was attributable to a combination of underperforming individual stocks, such as EnergySolutions and Alliant Techsystems, coupled with a deliberate choice to avoid firms that we view as highly cyclical. With many of the names we view as more aggressive trading at healthy multiples of their prior peak earnings levels (much less of their current earnings levels), we believed that their potential for upside was limited. During the first half of the Fund’s fiscal year, the market disagreed with our viewpoint, causing the lag.
We are encouraged by the level of recent merger and acquisition (M&A) activity involving midcap companies, including some companies that have been held by the MidCap Fund. One of the primary reasons behind our launch of the MidCap Fund was to target midcap stocks that we viewed as offering attractive growth opportunities at reasonable valuations. We hoped that the Fund would provide shareholders with the opportunity to own indirect stakes in faster-growing companies before those companies’ business models had matured or their larger brethren had acquired them.
During the first year and a half of the Fund’s existence, the contracting credit markets and difficult environment for private equity funds made the Fund’s performance more dependent on earnings growth and price-to-earnings expansion of companies in the Fund’s portfolio, and less dependent on M&A activity. Now that it appears that some larger firms as well as many private equity funds have regained enough confidence to consider entering into M&A deals, we believe an extra component of shareholder return may be available to Fund shareholders through the premium typically paid to targets in M&A deals.
The first half of the fiscal year has seen Bare Escentuals, Smith International and Virtual Radiologic enter into deals to be acquired, while Pactiv and Airgas have seen their stock prices jump as rumors about potential deals have swirled. The stocks of all of these companies were held by the Fund at the time the transactions were announced or rumors of them made the news. We are hopeful these deals will be precursors to others in the second half of the fiscal year, and we feel that this is likely to be the case as long as the economy continues to recover.

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 1-800-999-0887 or visiting www.thompsonplumb.com.
Results include the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Investment performance reflects all fee waivers that may be in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced. The performance information reflected in the graph and the table above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares, nor does it imply future performance. The Barclays Capital Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit 1-10 Year Index is a market-value-weighted index of all investment-grade bonds with maturities of more than one year and less than 10 years. The Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit 1-5 Year Index is a market-value-weighted index of all investment-grade bonds with maturities of more than one year and less than 5 years. You cannot directly invest in an index.

BOND FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2010 |
Management Commentary
The Bond Fund outperformed both its benchmark and the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit 1-5 Year Index over the semi-annual period as a result of the Fund’s larger allocation to corporate bonds. This overweighting helped performance in two ways. First, the average spread between Treasury bonds and corporate bonds at the BBB quality tier narrowed by 31 basis points, which more than overcame the impact of the 5-10 basis point increase in Treasury bond yields during the period. As a result, the average corporate bond in the Fund appreciated in value while the average Treasury or Agency bond in the Fund’s benchmark and in the Barclays Capital U.S. Government/Credit 1-5 Year Index depreciated in value. Secondly, with a higher average yield than both Treasury and Agency bonds, corporate bonds simply spun off more return in the form of interest income than those alternate types of bonds. With more of the Fund allocated to this higher-yielding category, the overall return of the Fund was enhanced relative to the benchmark.
Despite the decrease of 31 basis points in corporate bond spreads during the semi-annual time period, the decline as of mid-April of this year was a much larger 95 basis points. It was after this point that worries about European sovereign debt, efforts by the Chinese government to slow China’s economy, and the Deepwater Horizon oil spill all conspired to create a flight to quality among investors. As a result, corporate bond spreads ended the period at 181 basis points, at the higher end of the historical “normal range” of 100-200 basis points. At these levels we believe owning corporate bonds is still an attractive alternative to owning Treasury or Agency debt, and will likely maintain our current allocation. The steepness of the yield curve is such that we feel it remains attractive to buy corporate debt with maturities of 4-5 years, and with the passage of time “ride” each bond down the maturity curve to a 1-2 year maturity. Thus we expect that the current “barbell” strategy of buying corporate debt with maturities of 4-5 years along with Treasury and Agency debt with maturities of 6 months or less is likely to remain in place for the immediate future.
Opinions expressed are subject to change, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. 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 involve additional risks such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, and increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on page 17 of this report for holdings information. The management commentary above as well as Fund holdings should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. In addition, please note that Fund holdings are subject to change.
Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.
SEC Yield is a standardized yield computed by dividing the net investment income per share earned during the 30-day period prior to quarter-end and was created to allow for fairer comparisons among bond funds.
Basis point is a unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1%, and is used to denote the change in a financial instrument.
Yield is the income earned from a bond, which takes into account the sum of the interest payment, the redemption value at the bond’s maturity, and the initial purchase price of the bond.

FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited) |
May 31, 2010 |
Example
A Fund shareholder may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a 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 entire period from December 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below under each Fund provides information about actual account values and actual expenses for such Fund. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below under each Fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on such 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 each Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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 redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) |

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Thompson Plumb Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) is a Wisconsin corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end, diversified management investment company.
The Company consists of separate mutual funds series (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”): Thompson Plumb Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”), Thompson Plumb MidCap Fund (the “MidCap Fund”) and Thompson Plumb Bond Fund (the “Bond Fund”). The assets and liabilities of each Fund are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which the shareholder owns shares. The objectives and strategies of each Fund are described in the Funds’ Prospectus.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
SECURITY VALUATION - Each Fund’s investments are valued at their market prices (generally the last reported sales price on the exchange where the securities are primarily traded or, for Nasdaq-listed securities, at their Nasdaq Official Closing Prices) or, where market quotations are not readily available or are unreliable, at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Directors (the “Funds’ Board”). Market quotations for the common stocks in which the Funds invest are nearly always readily available; however, market quotations for debt securities are often not readily available. Fair values of debt securities are typically based on valuations published by an independent pricing service, which uses various valuation methodologies such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost basis.
When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the Pricing Policies and Procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board, which includes factors such as fundamental analytical data relating to the investment, which may include consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue, nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition of the security and an evaluation of forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or sold. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. No securities in any of the Funds were fair valued as of May 31, 2010.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“Topic 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. Topic 820-10 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting standards to provide guidance on estimating the fair value of an asset or liability when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying transactions that are not orderly.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for 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).
Inputs may include price information, specific and broad credit data, liquidity statistics, and other factors. The Fund considers observable data to be that market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Fund. The categorization of a financial instrument within
29
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2010 |
the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the instrument and does not necessarily correspond to the Fund’s perceived risk of that instrument. Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and which are therefore classified as level-1 securities, include active listed equities and certain U.S. government obligations.
Investments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active, but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs, are classified as level-2 securities. These include certain U.S. government obligations, most government agency securities, investment-grade corporate bonds, and less liquid listed equities. Level-2 investments include positions that are not traded in active markets.
Investments classified as level-3 securities have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently or not at all. Level-3 instruments include private-placement and less liquid corporate debt securities. When observable prices are not available for these securities, the Fund uses one or more valuation techniques (e.g., the market approach, the income approach, or the cost approach) for which sufficient and reliable data is available. Within level 3, the use of the market approach generally consists of using comparable market transactions, while the use of the income approach generally consists of using the net present value of estimated future cash flows, adjusted as appropriate for liquidity, credit, market and/or other risk factors. The inputs used by the Fund in estimating the value of level-3 investments include the original transaction price and recent transactions in the same or similar instruments.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ net assets as of May 31, 2010:

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME - Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities on the same basis for book and tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned.
SECURITIES PURCHASED ON A WHEN-ISSUED OR DELAYED-DELIVERY BASIS - Each Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. When-issued securities are securities purchased with delivery to occur at a later date at a stated price and/or yield, thereby involving the risk that the price and/or yield obtained may be more or less than those available in the market when delivery takes place. At the time a Fund makes a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. Each Fund designates and maintains cash and marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities.

May 31, 2010 |
MORTGAGE DOLLAR ROLLS - - The Bond Fund may enter into mortgage dollar roll transactions in which the Fund sells a mortgage-backed security to a counterparty and simultaneously enters into an agreement with the same counterparty to buy back a similar security on a specific future date at a predetermined price. Each mortgage dollar roll is treated as a financing transaction; therefore, any gain or loss is considered unrealized until the roll reaches completion. Risks may arise due to the delayed payment date and the potential inability of counterparties to complete the transaction. Income is generated as consideration for entering into these transactions and is included in interest income on the accompanying financial statements.
VARIABLE-RATE DEMAND NOTES - The Funds invest in short-term variable-rate demand notes, which are unsecured instruments. The Funds may be susceptible to credit risk with respect to these instruments to the extent the issuer defaults on its payment obligation.
PERMANENT BOOK AND TAX DIFFERENCES - Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified in the capital accounts.
EXPENSES - Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributed to it. Expenses that are not readily identifiable to a specific Fund are generally allocated among the Funds in proportion to the relative sizes of the Funds.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent 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.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and realized gains on securities for the Growth Fund and MidCap Fund normally are declared at least annually. Bond Fund distributions to shareholders from net investment income normally are declared on a quarterly basis, and distributions to shareholders from realized gains on securities normally are declared at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - - No provision has been made for federal income taxes since the Funds have elected to be taxed as regulated investment companies and intend to distribute substantially all income to shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.
DIRECTED BROKERAGE ARRANGEMENTS - The Funds have directed brokerage arrangements with Fidelity Capital Markets, BNY Brokerage and Trade Manage Capital, Inc. Upon purchase and/or sale of the investment securities at best execution, the Funds pay brokerage commissions to Fidelity Capital Markets, BNY Brokerage and Trade Manage Capital, Inc. These commission payments generate non-refundable cumulative credits, which are available to pay certain expenses of the Funds. There were no directed brokerage credits during the six-month period ended May 31, 2010.
LINE OF CREDIT - The Funds have established a line of credit (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank N.A. which expires November 15, 2010 used primarily to finance redemption payments. Each of the individual Fund’s borrowing under the LOC is limited to either 5% of the market value of that Fund’s total assets or any explicit borrowing limits imposed by the Funds’ Board, whatever is less. As of May 31, 2010, the limits established by the Funds’ Board are: Growth Fund - $10,000,000, MidCap Fund - $500,000 and Bond Fund - $4,000,000. The following table shows the average balance, average interest rate and interest expense incurred by the Funds on borrowings under the LOC for the six-month period ended May 31, 2010.
| | Average | | Average | | Interest |
Fund | | Balance | | Interest Rate | | Expense |
Growth Fund | | | $ | 265,863 | | | 3.250% | | | $ | 4,373 | |
MidCap Fund | | | $ | 10,495 | | | 3.250% | | | $ | 173 | |

GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS - Under the Funds’ organizational documents, each Director, officer, employee or other agent of the Funds (including the Funds’ investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believe the risk of loss to be remote.
ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES - The Funds implemented the provisions of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 (“Topic 740”) Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This topic prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. It also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The implementation of Topic 740 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended November 30, 2009 remains subject to examination by taxing authorities. The Funds are 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.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - In May 2009, the FASB updated the accounting standards on the recognition and disclosure of subsequent events. The standard requires the disclosure of the date through which subsequent events were evaluated. This standard was issued and is effective for interim or annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and applies prospectively. The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the Funds’ financial statements on July 23, 2010 and have determined that such subsequent events do not have an impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
NOTE 3 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENTS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Investment Advisory Agreement pursuant to which Thompson Investment Management, Inc. (“TIM”) is retained by the Funds provides for compensation to TIM (computed daily and paid monthly) at the following annual rates: for the Growth Fund and MidCap Fund - 1.00% of the first $50 million of average daily net assets and 0.90% of average daily net assets in excess of $50 million; and for the Bond Fund - 0.65% of the first $50 million of average daily net assets and 0.60% of average daily net assets in excess of $50 million.
The Advisor is contractually bound to waive management fees and/or reimburse expenses incurred by the Funds through March 31, 2011 so that the annual operating expenses of the Funds do not exceed the following percentages of their respective average daily net assets: Growth Fund-1.40%, MidCap Fund-1.30% and Bond Fund-0.80%. For the six-month period ended May 31, 2010, the Advisor reimbursed expenses incurred by the MidCap Fund and the Bond Fund in the amounts of $75,298 and $125,946, respectively.
Pursuant to an Administrative and Accounting Services Agreement, TIM maintains the Funds’ financial records in accordance with the 1940 Act, prepares all necessary financial statements of the Funds and calculates the net asset value per share of the Funds on a daily basis. As compensation for its services, each Fund pays TIM a fee computed daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of 0.15% of average daily net assets up to $30 million, 0.10% of the next $70 million of average daily net assets and 0.025% of average daily net assets in excess of $100 million, with an annual minimum fee of $30,000 per Fund. The calculations of daily net asset value are subcontracted to U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, resulting in fees paid by TIM for the six-month period ended May 31, 2010 in the amounts of $17,528, $15,000 and $27,465 for the Growth Fund, MidCap Fund and Bond Fund, respectively.
As of May 31, 2010, retirement plan investments by certain employees of the Advisor represent 0.90%, 4.93% and 0.03% of the net assets of the Growth Fund, MidCap Fund and Bond Fund, respectively.

NOTE 7 - INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
On January 28, 2010, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Funds approved the engagement of Cohen Fund Audit Services, Ltd. (“Cohen”) to serve as the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm for the Funds’ fiscal year ending November 30, 2010.
During the Funds’ fiscal years ended November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2009 and through January 28, 2010, neither the Funds, nor any of the Growth Fund, MidCap Fund or Bond Fund, nor anyone on any of their behalf, consulted with Cohen regarding: (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Funds’ financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement or a reportable event.
The selection of Cohen does not reflect any disagreements with or dissatisfaction by the Funds or the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors with the performance of the Funds’ prior independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP (“PwC”). The January 28, 2010 decision to dismiss PwC, effective as of the completion of the Funds’ audit for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009, was approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Funds.
PwC’s reports on the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2009 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the Funds’ fiscal years ended November 30, 2008 and November 30, 2009 and through January 28, 2010: (i) there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Funds’ financial statements for such years; and (ii) there were no “reportable events” of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
