LARGECAP FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2014 |
Management Commentary
The Fund got off to a solid start during the semi-annual period largely thanks to strong individual stock selection, especially in the Technology and Consumer Staples sectors. However, the Fund’s performance lead relative to its benchmark disappeared midway through April. Essentially, the Fund gave up its relative gain and then some during the final 1 ½ months of the period. What drove this shift?
Evidence suggests that two key factors were largely responsible. The first involved individual security selection. A disappointing earnings report from JDS Uniphase sent that Fund holding tumbling in April and May. Conversely, not holding Apple hurt relative performance as the company’s stock appreciated 22.9% from April 15 to May 30. The second factor at play was a broad sector rotation by investors out of cyclical company stocks and into more defensive areas of the market. Our allocation within the Financials sector suffered, as money flowed out of our lending bank holdings and into other asset classes like REITs. Poor Gross Domestic Product growth in the first quarter and weak first quarter earnings reports were significant drivers of this “flight to quality.”
Despite these recent signs of economic weakness, we believe the balance of evidence continues to support our bullish view on the economy and markets, and that this recent rotation to defensive stocks is likely temporary. In spite of disruptions caused by extremely cold temperatures this past winter, corporate earnings and the overall job market still seem to be improving. We expect the economic data will reaccelerate as the climate continues returning to normal. The first anniversary of the implementation of several negative drags on growth, including increases in the payroll tax, sequester-driven cuts in federal spending, and a jump in the top overall marginal tax rate, will also help in the second quarter and beyond as the economy more fully adapts to these negative drags. While external shocks can always disrupt economic growth, we feel confident in our belief that the Fund’s current positioning has the potential to benefit shareholders to the extent stronger economic growth becomes more apparent to all.
Ironically, the cold weather of this past winter demonstrated a bullish signal for the economy in the form of energy prices, which showed a more muted reaction to the temperatures than we otherwise would have expected. If the supply of gas and oil were normal, there likely would have been a larger inventory draw down due to the cold weather, creating upward pressure on energy prices and thus more upside for Energy-sector stocks. The actual muted response of energy prices during the winter convinced us that supply will be strong enough to put a damper on prices for quite some time, suggesting that the overall economy should benefit from having to allocate a smaller portion of its resources to its energy needs. This would help both inflation as well as consumer spending power, but is a negative for energy stocks themselves. Several of the changes we made to the Fund during the semi-annual period were a direct response to this new evidence.
January marked the fifth anniversary of both the current bull market as well as the start of the current portfolio managers’ tenure as a team on the Fund. We are pleased with the past five years and hope that shareholders are too. While the future is always unknown, as a team we feel operationally stronger than ever and are hopeful that the next five years can prove attractive as well.
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 smaller companies involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investments in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) are subject to some extent to the risks associated with directly investing in securities of foreign issuers, including the risk of changes in currency exchange rates, expropriation or nationalization of assets, and the impact of political, diplomatic, or social events. Investments in real estate securities may involve greater risk and volatility including greater exposure to economic downturns and changes in real estate values, rents, property taxes, tax, and other laws. A REIT’s share price may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry.
Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on page 6 of this report for holdings information. The management commentary above as well as Fund holdings and asset/sector allocations should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. In addition, please note that Fund holdings and asset/sector allocations are subject to change.
Earnings Growth is a measure of growth in a company’s net income over a specific period, often one year. It is not a prediction of the Fund’s future returns.

MIDCAP FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2014 |
Management Commentary
The Fund lagged its benchmark during the semi-annual period because a shift to defensive and interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the market benefited the benchmark more than the Fund. This was due to the Fund’s pro-cyclical positioning and relative underweighting of sectors and industries such as Utilities, Telecommunications, and REITs. While a similar pattern affected large-capitalization stocks during the period, the MidCap Fund and its investment universe were particularly sensitive to the shift. These types of stocks make up a larger percentage of the midcap universe than they do in large-capitalization stocks. Strong issue selection in Technology sector offset the impact of this shift somewhat, but not enough to fully overcome the drag.
We believe that evidence is mounting for a counter to this defensive shift occurring during the second half of the annual period. Most importantly, job growth accelerated at the end of the semi-annual period. The four months ended in May 2014 constituted the longest streak at which the economy added at least 200,000 jobs per month since the year 2000. If such a pace continues, we believe it signals the kind of self-sustaining recovery necessary to both sustain the appreciation in the equity markets and allow the Federal Reserve to safely withdraw its monetary stimulus without risking a recession. Since midcap stocks are much more domestically focused than their large-capitalization peers, if this occurs we expect they could benefit relatively more from such a scenario.
At the same time the job market is improving, the earnings of companies in the Fund’s benchmark were up a double-digit rate in the first quarter, providing robust profit growth.1 The earnings of the Fund’s holdings experienced a similarly strong first quarter. This growth occurred despite the bitter cold weather, and offers hope that with solid labor market growth, earnings growth in the second half of the fiscal year could be as strong or stronger.
As a result of our analysis we are sticking with our pro-cyclical positioning. If we are right, the payoff could come as soon as earnings results “prove” the economy and Corporate America are in better shape than the current rotation implies. The Fund is hopefully positioned to benefit if we are right.
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. Midcap companies tend to have more limited liquidity and greater volatility than large-capitalization companies. Investments in American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs”) are subject to some extent to the risks associated with directly investing in securities of foreign issuers, including the risk of changes in currency exchange rates, expropriation or nationalization of assets, and the impact of political, diplomatic, or social events. Investments in real estate securities may involve greater risk and volatility including greater exposure to economic downturns and changes in real estate values, rents, property taxes, tax, and other laws. A REIT’s share price may decline because of adverse developments affecting the real estate industry.
Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on page 12 of this report for holdings information. The management commentary above as well as Fund holdings and asset/sector allocations should not be considered a recommendation to buy or sell any security. In addition, please note that Fund holdings and asset/sector allocations are subject to change.
Earnings Growth is a measure of growth in a company’s net income over a specific period, often one year. It is not a prediction of the fund’s future returns.

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.thompsonim.com.
Results include the reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Investment performance reflects all fee waivers that may have been in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would have been 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 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. The Barclays U.S. Credit 1-5 Year Index is a market-value-weighted index which includes virtually every major investment-grade rated corporate bond with 1-5 years remaining until maturity that serves as a supplementary benchmark.

BOND FUND INVESTMENT REVIEW (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2014 |
Management Commentary
The terrific relative performance during the first half of the Fund’s fiscal year was primarily driven by a narrowing of credit spreads across multiple maturities. Average 10-year corporate bond spreads at the BBB rated quality level, which is the average credit rating of bonds in the Fund, narrowed by 42 basis points. Despite a modest increase in interest rates, this narrowing of credit spreads caused bond prices to generally appreciate during the quarter, helping the Fund’s performance. This factor combined with the more typical contribution of coupons earned from simply holding higher-yielding corporate bonds to work in shareholders’ favor during the period, leading to especially strong performance.
January marked the fifth anniversary of the start of the current portfolio managers’ tenure as a team on the Fund. As we have written about in many previous commentaries over that time period, we view changes in Treasury rates and corporate spreads to be largely random and not predictable from quarter to quarter. We’re very pleased when they cooperate, but our strategy is not based on needing their help. Thus, we feel it is unlikely that the rest of the fiscal year will prove to be nearly as attractive as the half just completed, although no outcome can be completely ruled out. Instead, we believe future changes in rates and spreads will be more neutral for shareholders, and even recognize the possibility that they could work against the Fund if the economy continues to strengthen.
In response to such an environment, we have gradually reduced the effective duration of the Fund. With fewer attractive opportunities on the longer end of our maturity range, we are content for the time being to put more money to work in the mid-to-short range of our investible universe instead. We believe these bonds still offer an attractive return potential, but are less exposed to the risk of rising interest rates causing bond prices to depreciate. To be clear, we are still seeing opportunities on the longer end of the Fund’s universe – just fewer than before. We made a similar adjustment in the spring of 2013, and in that instance we then rapidly readjusted once spreads widened and rates rose in June of that year.
We like to remind shareholders that our investment strategy is designed with a goal of rewarding them over a one year or longer time horizon. Subtle shifts like the one described above can actually hurt performance in the short run if rates continue to decline. But allowing for the passage of time needed for both random changes in rates to average themselves out as well as to earn the coupon payments on the bonds in the portfolio, we believe our strategy has the potential to reward shareholders who have the appropriate time horizon. In our view, the success of this is and always will be measured by the intermediate-to-long-term returns.

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. The risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in bonds of foreign issuers involve greater volatility, political and economic risks, and differences in accounting methods. Investment by the Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities.
Please refer to the Schedule of Investments on page 19 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.
The federal government guarantees interest payments from government securities while dividend payments carry no such guarantee. Government securities, if held to maturity, guarantee the timely payment of principal and interest.
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.
Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt securities, prior to maturity. Securities with a longer duration generally have more volatile prices than securities of comparable quality with a shorter duration.
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.
Credit Ratings are provided by Standard & Poor’s, who assign a rating based on their analysis of the issuer’s credit worthiness. The highest rating given is AAA and the lowest is C.
Although the makeup of the Fund’s portfolio is constantly changing, as of May 31, 2014, 89.15% of the Fund’s portfolio was invested in corporate bonds. Due to prevailing market conditions, the composition of the Fund’s portfolio as of that date was consistent with the composition of the Fund’s portfolio over the past 5 years. In addition, as of May 31, 2014, 76.83% of the Fund’s portfolio was invested in bonds rated BBB. For portfolio information current as of the most recent quarter-end, please call 1-800-999-0887 or visit our website at www.thompsonim.com. Compared to a portfolio that is more evenly allocated between government and corporate bonds, a portfolio that is heavily allocated to corporate bonds may provide higher returns, but is also subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk and to greater price fluctuations. A portfolio that is significantly allocated to bonds having lower investment-grade ratings may also be subject to greater levels of credit and liquidity risk and experience greater price fluctuations than a portfolio comprised of higher-rated investment-grade bonds.

FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited) |
May 31, 2014 |
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, 2013 to May 31, 2014.
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.

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | | $1,000.00 | | $1,021.36 | | $3.68 |
* | Expenses are equal to the annualized [net] expense ratio for each Fund (LargeCap Fund: 1.15%; MidCap Fund: 1.30%; and Bond Fund: 0.73%), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
Thompson IM 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 LargeCap Fund (the “LargeCap Fund”), Thompson MidCap Fund (the “MidCap Fund”) and Thompson 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 generally valued at amortized cost basis. Exchange-traded options are valued at the last reported sale price on an exchange on which the option is traded. If no sales are reported on a particular day, the mean between the highest bid and lowest asked quotations at the close of the exchanges will be used. Investments in money market mutual funds are generally priced at the ending net asset value provided by the service agent of the funds.
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, 2014.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”), 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. GAAP 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.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each 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
35
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2014 |
what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Fund. The categorization of a financial instrument within 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, sovereign bonds, municipal 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 and municipal 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’ investments as of May 31, 2014:

There were no transfers between level-1 and level-2 securities and the Funds did not invest in any level-3 investments as of and during the six-month period ended May 31, 2014. It is the Funds’ policy to record transfers at the end of the reporting period. Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for additional information regarding security types and industry classifications.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2014 |
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. Income and capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable, and have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
OPTIONS - Each Fund may enter into options transactions for hedging purposes and will not use these instruments for speculation. Each Fund may use options to hedge against anticipated declines in the market value of portfolio securities and increases in the market value of securities it intends to purchase and protect against exposure to interest rate changes. Each Fund may also use options to enhance total return or invest in eligible asset classes with greater efficiency and lower cost than is believed to be possible through direct investment. The use of options for hedging purposes involves certain risks and may result in a loss if changes in the value of the option move in a direction different than anticipated, rendering the hedging strategy unsuccessful.
Each Fund may write covered call/put options for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses.
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.
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 GAAP 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 LargeCap 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.
37
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2014 |
LINE OF CREDIT - The Funds have established an unsecured line of credit (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank N.A. which expires November 14, 2014 used primarily to finance redemption payments. Each individual Fund’s borrowing under the LOC is limited to either 5% of the value of that Fund’s total assets or any explicit borrowing limits imposed by the Funds’ Board, whatever is less. As of May 31, 2014, the limits established by the Funds’ Board are: LargeCap Fund - $6,000,000, MidCap Fund - $1,700,000 and Bond Fund - $100,000,000. 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, 2014.
| | Average | | Average | | Interest |
Fund | | Balance | | Interest Rate | | Expense |
LargeCap Fund | | | $ | 98,577 | | | 3.250% | | | $ | 1,620 | |
MidCap Fund | | | $ | 43,275 | | | 3.250% | | | $ | 718 | |
Bond Fund | | | $ | 21,093 | | | 3.250% | | | $ | 347 | |
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 1940 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 - As of and during the six-month period ended May 31, 2014, the Funds did not have a liability for unrecognized tax benefits in the accompanying financial statements. Also, the Funds recognized no interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits during the same period. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. Generally, each of the tax years in the four-year period ended November 30, 2013 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 - The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the Funds’ financial statements 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” or “Advisor”) is retained by the Funds provides for monthly compensation to TIM computed on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
| First | | Over |
| $50 Million | | $50 Million |
LargeCap Fund | 1.00% | | 0.90% |
MidCap Fund | 1.00% | | 0.90% |
Bond Fund | 0.65% | | 0.60% |
The Advisor is contractually bound to waive management fees and/or reimburse expenses incurred by the Funds through March 31, 2015 so that the annual operating expenses of the Funds do not exceed the following percentages of their respective average daily net assets: LargeCap Fund-1.15%, MidCap Fund-1.30% and Bond Fund-0.80%. For the six-month period ended May 31, 2014, the Advisor reimbursed expenses incurred by the LargeCap Fund and the MidCap Fund in the amounts of $53,567 and $48,408, respectively. The Funds are not obligated to reimburse the Advisor for any fees or expenses waived in previous fiscal years.
38
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
May 31, 2014 |
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, 2014 in the following amounts:
| Administrative & |
| Accounting Fees Paid |
LargeCap Fund | | $ | 18,445 | |
MidCap Fund | | $ | 16,757 | |
Bond Fund | | $ | 139,063 | |
The Funds reimburse the Advisor for a portion of amounts paid by the Advisor out of the Advisor’s own resources under various shareholder, account maintenance, networking and other services provided to the Funds by broker-dealers and other intermediaries. The amount reimbursed by the Funds is equal to (1) for those accounts maintained through a shareholder servicing arrangement, an annual rate of no more than 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the omnibus accounts in the Funds for which all broker-dealers and other intermediaries, in the aggregate, are responsible, and (2) for those accounts maintained through a networking arrangement, no more than $6 per year per account in the Funds for which the broker-dealers and other intermediaries are responsible; provided however, in all cases only one of these fees shall be applicable to the assets in an account. This amount has been determined by the Funds’ Board to approximate the transfer agency fees that would otherwise have been payable by the Funds if such broker-dealers and intermediaries did not maintain these accounts. For the six-month period ended May 31, 2014, the amounts reimbursed by the Funds to the Advisor were:
| Intermediary |
| Fees Reimbursed |
LargeCap Fund | | $ | 14,477 | |
MidCap Fund | | $ | 1,991 | |
Bond Fund | | $ | 472,773 | |
As of May 31, 2014, retirement plan investments by certain employees of the Advisor represent 5.71% of the net assets of the MidCap Fund.
