Message from the Investment Adviser
Dear Valued Shareholder:
We are pleased to present this semi-annual report for the Miles Funds covering the six month period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010. This report provides you with information regarding your Fund performance, commentary from your Fund manager, and a review of your Fund expenses. We encourage you to review this information and hope you will find it useful.
As expected, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the “Great Recession” officially ended in the second quarter of 2009. Unfortunately, GDP growth of 3 percent since that time is tepid compared to the historical post-war average of 6.5 percent, and consumers are feeling the strain. With consumer spending rising only 1.6 percent over the past year, the markets are struggling to see past current clouds to brighter days ahead.
Consumer sentiment has fallen along with GDP growth and the labor market seems frozen. Federal stimulus has largely run its course leaving voters frustrated at what they see as a limited impact on jobs and growth. Volatility around whether Congress will act to stop income tax increases embedded in current law prior to year end has further compounded the malaise, so the markets have turned to the Bernanke Fed for hope in the form of quantitative easing (round 2). Quantitative easing occurs when the Fed aggressively purchases securities for its own balance sheet in an effort to keep interest rates low and stimulate demand. The first round ended in March after the Fed bought $1.7 trillion in mortgages and Treasuries. While the size and scope of the next effort is yet to be determined, another round appears more likely every day.
While we appreciate the uncertainty of investing near the trough of a business cycle, there are glimmers of hope from several corners. September service-oriented business activity showed improvement, and services comprise the vast majority of U.S. business activity. Strong capital investment by corporate America should soon turn to investment in labor as productivity gains stall. And the personal sav ings rate has likely plateaued, meaning any additional income gains should be spent which will move the GDP needle further into growth territory.
Economic recovery should be more fun, but an ability to rise above the emotional crosswinds will be rewarded. We remain focused on the consumer and jobs, and are positioning for brighter days ahead.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Miles Funds.

Performance Report
Money Market Funds
Declining Treasury yields and rising expectations for quantitative easing pushed money market rates lower during the last quarter of the semi-annual period. The growth picture has deteriorated as the unemployment rate remains stubbornly high, so market chatter has turned to the potential for another round of Federal Reserve securities purchases targeted at keeping rates low to stimulate growth. While the expected impact on growth is debatable, short rates appear anchored indefinitely in this very low yield area.
Institutional Money Market Fund
The Fund’s a verage days remain longer than its index and will continue to target a long position to capture additional yield while overnight rates remain low. Paper is being added in the one year area of the curve where rates appear most attractive given our outlook.

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
September 30, 2010
1. Organization
The Miles Funds, Inc. (the “Funds”) were registered on November 16, 1994 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company issuing its shares in one portfolio. Miles Capital, Inc. (“Miles Capital”), formerly WB Capital Management Inc., is the investment adviser to the Fund. The Funds name changed from Vintage Mutual Funds, Inc. to WB Capital Mutual Funds, Inc. on July 29, 2008, and from WB Capital Mutual Funds, Inc. to Miles Funds, Inc. on September 1, 2010. The Funds currently consist of the following diversified portfolio (individually, a “Fund”): Institutional Money Market.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of the financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements 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 increase and decrease in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities Valuation
The Fund’s investments are valued at amortized co st, which approximates market value. Under the amortized cost method of valuation, discount or premium is amortized on an effective yield basis to the maturity of the security.
Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (“trade date”). Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, when applicable, the pro rata amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined on the identified cost basis.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may engage in repurchase agreements with financial institutions such as banks, brokers, or dealers that Miles Capital deems creditworthy under guidelines approved by the Board of Directors (the “Board”), subject to the seller’s agreement to repurchase such securities at a mutually agreed-upon date and price. The seller under a repurchase agreement will be required to continually maintain the value of collateral held pursuant to the agreement at not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). If the seller were to default on its repurchase obligation or become insolvent, the Fund holding such obligation would suffer a loss to the extent that the proceeds from a sale of the underlying portfolio were less than the repurchase price under the agreement, or to the extent that the disposition of such securities by the Fund were delayed pending court action. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be mo re or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at the counterparty’s custodian in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and the counterparty.
Securities Purchased on a When-Issued or Delayed-Delivery Basis
The 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 the Fund makes a commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records t he transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining net asset value. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities.
Miles Funds, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
September 30, 2010
Dividends to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly.
The divid ends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from the character of distributions under 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 treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Taxes
The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute taxable income to shareholders in amounts that will avoid or minimize federal income or excise taxes of the Fund.
The Fund evaluates its tax position 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 an expense in the current year. The Fund is no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years prior to 2006. At this time, management believes there are no uncertain tax positions which, based on their technical merit, would not be sustained upon examination and for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state income taxes. Interest and penalties associated with any federal or state income tax obligations, if any, are recorded as interest expense.
New Accounting Pronouncements
During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Fund adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162. This ASU includes SFAS No. 168 in its entirety. The ASU establishes the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) (collectively referred to as “Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB. Rules and interpretative releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. All guidan ce contained in the Codification carries an equal level of authority. Following this ASU, the FASB will issue only ASUs to update the Codification. The adoption of the Codification changed the Funds’ references to GAAP accounting standards but did not impact the Funds’ results of operations, financial position or liquidity.
During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Fund adopted ASC 855, Subsequent Events (formerly SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events). ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the date of the statement of assets and liabilities but before the financial statements are issued, or available to be issued if not widely distributed. The financial statements should reflect all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the statement of assets and liabilities. The financial statements should not reflect subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the statement of assets and liabilities. An entity must disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued, or the date they were available to be issued. The Fund evaluated subsequent events through November 17, 2010, the date the accompanying financial statements were issued.

September 30, 2010
In January 2010, the FASB issued new standards for fair value measurements and disclosures. The new standards, which are part of ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, require new disclosures on the amount and reason for transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements. The standards also require disclosure of activities, including purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements within the Level 3 fair value measurements and clarify existing disclosure requirements on levels of disaggregation and disclosures about inputs and valuation techniques. The new disclosures regarding Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and clarification of existing disclosures are effective for the Funds in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011. The disclosures about the rollforward of information in Level 3 are effective for the Funds in the fiscal year ending Mar ch 31, 2012. The Funds have not completed the process of evaluating the impact that will result from adopting these standards on its financial statements.
3. Related Party Transactions
Under the terms of its Investment Advisory Agreement, Miles Capital is entitled to receive fees at an annual rate of 0.35 percent of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Miles Capital voluntarily limited advisory fees for the Institutional Money Market Fund to a range from 0.11 to 0.15 percent during the six months ended September 30, 2010.
The Fund has entered into a management and administration agreement with Miles Capital pursuant to which the Fund pays administrative fees at an annual rate of 0.21 percent of the average daily net assets. Miles Capital voluntarily limi ted administrative fees for the Institutional Money Market Fund to 0.07 percent during the six months ended September 30, 2010.
Miles Capital also provides fund accounting services for the Funds pursuant to a Fund Accounting Agreement and receives a fee of 0.03 percent of the average daily net assets of the Fund for such services. Miles Capital voluntarily waived all fund accounting fees for the Institutional Money Market Fund during the six months ended September 30, 2010.
Foreside Distribution Services, L.P. serves as distributor to the Fund pursuant to a Distribution Agreement. The Distributor receives no compensation under the Distribution Agreement with the Fund, but may receive compensation under a Distribution and Shareholder Service Plan (the “Plan”) adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act under which the F und is authorized to pay the Distributor for payments it makes to Participating Organizations. As authorized by the Plan, the Distributor will enter into Shareholder Agreements with Participating Organizations pursuant to which the Participating Organization agrees to provide certain administrative and shareholder support services in connection with shares of a Fund purchased and held by Customers of the Participating Organization. The Distributor will be compensated by a Fund up to the amount of any payments it makes to Participating Organizations under the Rule 12b-1 Agreement. No fees have been approved for the Institutional Money Market Fund. However, Miles Capital as adviser and administrator of the Fund may in its sole discretion make payments to the Distributor to supplement shareholder fees paid by the Fund up to the maximum fee approved by the Plan without further notice to shareholders and at no cost to the Fund.
Miles Capital also serves as the Fund's transfer agent to the Institutional Money Market Fund. Miles Capital is paid a fee for transfer agency services based on the number of shareholder accounts serviced or a minimum fee amount. During the six months ended September 30, 2010, Miles Capital received no transfer agent service fees.

5. Fair Value Measurement
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

1. About Your Fund Expenses
It is important for you to understand th e impact of costs on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees, and other fund expenses. Expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s investment income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund.
A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010. The table on the following page illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:
A.
Based on actual fund return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the fund’s actual return, and the third column shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.
B.
Based on hypothetical 5 percent return. This section is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a return of 5 percent before expenses during the period shown, bu t that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case, because the return used is not the fund’s actual return, the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5 percent return. You can assess your fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Your fund does not carry a “sales load” or transaction fee. The calculations assume no shares were bought or sold during the period. Your actual costs may have been higher or lower, depending on the amount of your investment and the timing of any purchases or redemptions.
You can find more information about the fund’s expenses, including annual expense ratios for the p ast five years, in the Financial Highlights section of this report. For additional information on operating expenses and other shareholder costs, please refer to the appropriate fund prospectus.

| | | Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid | Annualized |
| | | Account Value | Account Value | During Period* | Expense |
| | | 4/1/2010 | 9/30/2010 | 4/1/10-9/30/10 | Ratio* |
Based on Actual Fund Return | | | | |
Institutional Money Market Fund | $1,000.00 | $1,001.96 | $1.21 | 0.24% |
| | | | | | |
Based on Hypothetical 5% Return | | | | |
Institutional Money Market Fund | $1,000.00 | $1,023.86 | $1.22 | 0.24% |
| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |
*Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365. |
