SIGNAL FUNDS
Notes to Financial Statements – September 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
Notes to Financial Statements – September 30, 2006 (Unaudited)
1. Organization:
The Coventry Group (the “Group”) was organized on January 8, 1992 as a Massachusetts business trust, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Group contains the following Signal Funds (individually a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”):
Fund Legal Name | Short Name | |||
Signal Large Cap Growth Fund | Large Cap Growth Fund | |||
Signal Income Fund | Income Fund | |||
Signal Tax-Exempt Income Fund | Tax-Exempt Income Fund | |||
Signal Money Market Fund | Money Market Fund |
Financial statements for all other series of the Group are published separately.
Under the Group’s organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Group. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Group may enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities Valuation:
The value of each equity security is based either on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the closing bid prices on such exchanges, or at the quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market. Equity securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.
Bonds and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations but including listed issues) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Group’s Board of Trustees. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, and trading characteristics other than market data and without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchanges or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities. All short-term debt portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less and securities held in the Money Market Fund are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method, discount or premium, if any, is accreted or amortized, respectively, on a constant (straight-line) basis to the maturity of the security.
Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is in error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Group’s Board of Trustees.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of September 30, 2006, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

Repurchase Agreements:
The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements with banks or broker-dealers that Signal Capital Management, Inc., (the “Advisor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Old National Trust Company, deems creditworthy. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by a Fund plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller, under a repurchase agreement, is required to maintain the collateral held pursuant to the agreement, with a market value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Funds’ custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. If the counterparty defaults and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
Security Transactions and Related Income:
Changes in holdings of portfolio securities shall be reflected no later than in the first calculation on the first business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, portfolio security transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend 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. Income and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon relative net assets or other appropriate basis.
Expenses:
Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to the Fund. Expenses relating to the Group are allocated proportionately to each Fund within the Group according to the relative net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Each class of shares bears its respective pro-rata portion of the expenses, except that each class separately bears expenses related specifically to that class, such as distribution fees.
Dividends to Shareholders:
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly for all of the Funds, except the Large Cap Growth Fund. Dividends for the Large Cap Growth Fund are declared and distributed quarterly. Dividends from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually for all Funds.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and of distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These ''book/tax’’ differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital.
Federal Income Taxes:
Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions from net investment income and from net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes.
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax return to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Management has not completed their analysis on whether the adoption of FIN 48 will have an impact to the financial statements.

* The Advisor voluntarily waived fees during the year. With these voluntary fee waivers by the Advisor, net advisory fees for the Funds on an annual basis are 0.55% for the Large Cap Growth Fund, 0.25% for the Income Fund, 0.10% for the Tax-Exempt Income Fund, and 0.05% for the Money Market Fund.
The Advisor may from time to time voluntarily reduce all or a portion of its advisory fee with respect to a Fund.
Administration:
The Funds and BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS Ohio” or the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., are parties to an Administration Agreement under which the Administrator provides services for a fee that is computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.14% of the average daily net assets of the Funds. Certain officers and trustees of the Group are also employees of the Administrator and are paid no fees directly by the Funds for serving as officers of the Group, except for the Chief Compliance Officer (the “CCO”). BISYS Ohio also provides fund accounting and transfer agency services to the Funds pursuant to certain fee arrangements. For transfer agency services, BISYS Ohio receives a fee based on the number of shareholders of record and reimbursement of certain expenses. For fund accounting, BISYS Ohio receives a fee from each Fund for such services equal to an annual rate of three one-hundredths of one percent (.03%) of that Funds’ average daily net assets, subject to certain minimums.
Under a Compliance Services Agreement between the Funds and BISYS Ohio (the “CCO Agreement”), BISYS Ohio makes an employee available to serve as the Funds’ CCO. Under the CCO Agreement, BISYS Ohio also provides infrastructure and support in implementing the written policies and procedures comprising the Funds’ compliance program, including support services to the CCO. For the services provided under the CCO Agreement, the Funds paid BISYS Ohio $13,075 for the six months ended September 30, 2006, plus certain out of pocket expenses. BISYS Ohio pays the salary and other compensation earned by any such individuals as employees of BISYS Ohio.
Pursuant to a Sub-Administration agreement, the Advisor provides certain administration services to the Funds. For their services, the Advisor is entitled to a fee payable by the Administrator of 0.05% for the Large Cap Fund, Income Fund and the Tax-Exempt Fund, and 0.10% for the Money Market Fund.
Distribution:
The Funds and BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership (the “Distributor”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc., are parties to a Distribution Agreement under which shares of the Funds are sold on a continuous basis. The Group has adopted a Service and Distribution Plan for Class A and Class B shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act under which the Class A and Class B shares of each fund are authorized to pay the Distributor for payments it makes to banks, other institutions and broker-dealers, and for expenses the Distributor and any of its affiliates incur for providing distribution or shareholder service assistance to the Funds. The calculated annual rate will not exceed 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of Class A shares.
For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Distributor received $699 from commissions earned on sales of Class A shares and redemption of Class B shares, none of which the Distributor re-allowed to affiliated broker-dealers of the Funds.
There is no initial sales charge on purchases of $1 million or more of the Class A Shares of the Funds. However, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) will be charged to the shareholder if shares are redeemed in the first 18 months after purchase. The Funds collected no CDSC fees on Class A Shares during the six months ended September 30, 2006.

Expense Comparison:
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution fees; and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning | Ending Account | Expense Paid | Expense Ratio | |||||||
Account Value | Value | During Period* | During Period | |||||||
4/1/06 | 9/30/06 | 4/1/06 - 9/30/06 | 4/1/06 - 9/30/06 | |||||||
Large Cap Growth Fund | Class A | $1,000.00 | $979.30 | $6.80 | 1.37% | |||||
Class I | 1,000.00 | 979.90 | 5.56 | 1.12% | ||||||
Income Fund | Class A | 1,000.00 | 1,029.90 | 4.63 | 0.91% | |||||
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,031.20 | 3.36 | 0.66% | ||||||
Tax-Exempt Income Fund | Class A | 1,000.00 | 1,023.80 | 5.83 | 1.15% | |||||
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,025.00 | 4.57 | 0.90% | ||||||
Money Market Fund | Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,023.30 | 2.54 | 0.50% |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
Beginning | Ending Account | Expense Paid | Expense Ratio | |||||||
Account Value | Value | During Period* | During Period | |||||||
4/1/06 | 9/30/06 | 4/1/06 - - 9/30/06 | 4/1/06 - 9/30/06 | |||||||
