The Stock, Growth, and Aggressive Growth Funds all underperformed the unmanaged Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500). The funds' returns for the six month period were -10.15%, -12.45%, and -19.19%, respectively, while the total return of the unmanaged S&P 500 during the same period was -9.64%. During the past six months, we have seen a two tiered market - energy and everything else. During a period when the S&P 500 declined nearly 10%, the S&P energy sector gained over 6%. All other sectors posted losses for the period. PRIMECAP Odyssey shareholders have suffered during this period, as we had underweighted energy stocks in all three funds. All three funds were also hurt by both substantial overweighting and poor selections in the technology and health care sectors. The information technology sector was particularly disappointing, as its -15.3% return was the second-worst performing sector (next to financials). Our information technology selections in all three funds underperformed the S&P information technology sector, thus compounding the effect of having made a heavy allocation to this sector. Similar to technology, the funds were significantly overweight in health care, and our selections have performed poorly. We have been surprised and disappointed with the difficulties companies have encountered in the FDA approval process. As the FDA has increased its emphasis on safety and decreased its emphasis on efficacy, we have seen a number of promising drugs experience unexpected difficulties in obtaining FDA approval. Our investments in airlines also detracted from the performance of all three funds. While the airlines have made enormous strides in dramatically slashing their cost structures and imposing stringent control over capacity, they could not adapt quickly enough to $125 oil, particularly with an economy teetering on the precipice of recession and demand likely to slow at the margin. A more detailed discussion of the results of each PRIMECAP Odyssey Fund follows. PRIMECAP ODYSSEY STOCK FUND From November 1, 2007 to April 30, 2008, the Stock Fund's total return of - -10.15% lagged the -9.64% return recorded by the S&P 500 by 51 basis points. The Stock Fund's underperformance was driven primarily by sector allocation. Individual stock selection helped overall returns, but our selections were not strong enough to offset poor sector allocation, most notably the underweighting of energy and consumer staples. Consumer staples represented only 0.1% of the overall holdings of the Stock Fund, significantly less than the 10.6% weighting for the S&P 500. As the economy anticipated a slow-down and potential recession, the constituents of the consumer staples sector outperformed the overall index. Our lack of involvement in the sector caused the Stock Fund to lose 0.9% to the overall market. 2 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS PRIMECAP ODYSSEY FUNDS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our stock selections in industrials also detracted from total returns. The Stock Fund has significant airline holdings. American Airlines and JetBlue Airways returned -63.5% and -44.8% respectively, as the airline industry has continued to struggle under rising jet fuel prices. The largest sector exposure for the Stock Fund is health care. For the past six months, the fund's holdings had a total return of -12.0% which was slightly behind the S&P 500 health care sector's return of -11.9%. Large holdings Eli Lilly and Novartis produced total returns of -9.5% and -2.9%, respectively, for the past six months. The Stock Fund continued to benefit from limited exposure as well as favorable selections in financials, the worst performing sector for the period. Performance of the fund's holdings exceeded the S&P financials sector by a margin of 5.1%, driven by Marsh & McLennan and Berkshire Hathaway, which gained 8.2% and 1.0%, respectively. The Stock Fund benefited significantly from our limited exposure to this sector. Financials make up 17.6% of the S&P 500 (down from 22.1% one year ago) and continue to be the largest individual S&P sector. The Stock Fund's financials holdings totaled approximately 7.0% of the portfolio. The table below lists the top 10 holdings, which collectively represent 26.8% of the total portfolio at the period end.

Disappointing stock selection and sector allocation contributed to the Growth Fund's underperformance. The most heavily weighted sector in the Growth Fund is information technology, which constituted 35% of the total portfolio during the period. The Growth Fund's information technology holdings produced a total return of -17.0%, compared to the S&P information technology sector return of -15.3%. Large positions in FormFactor and EMC, which returned -50.7% and -39.3%, respectively, detracted the most from our performance in this sector. The Growth Fund's heavy allocation to the health care sector and our selections within the sector both contributed to our underperformance for the period. Our health care investments represented approximately 27.4% of the overall holdings of the Growth Fund, compared to 12.1% for the S&P 500. Our selections returned - -13.2% vs. the S&P health care sector return of -11.9%. Our investments in Affymetrix and Amgen, which returned -57.2% and -28.0%, respectively, were our largest detractors in this sector. Airlines continued to struggle under rising energy costs, and the Growth Fund's holdings in this industry have continued to hurt total returns. Operational efficiencies and favorable capacity trends have not been sufficient to offset skyrocketing jet fuel costs. The table below lists the top 10 holdings, which collectively represent 25.8% of the total portfolio at the period end.

The Aggressive Growth Fund's total return of -19.19% also trailed the Russell Midcap(R) Growth Index's total return of -8.44%. Disappointing stock selection and sector allocation contributed to this fund's underperformance. Information technology holdings accounted for approximately 46.4% of the Aggressive Growth Fund. Our largest detractors in this sector were FormFactor (-50.7%) and Cymer (-38.9%). FormFactor and Cymer are both involved in the semiconductor chip manufacturing process; the sector has been hit by low priced competition and a slowdown in demand. The poor relative performance of the sector is also tied to growing concerns of the ability of such companies to grow in an increasingly difficult economic environment. Our health care selections accounted for 23.9% of portfolio, compared to 12.1% for the S&P 500. The largest detractor among our health care selections was Affymetrix (-57.2%), which has lost market share to its largest competitor. The largest holding in the fund, Conceptus, which is the innovator behind the Essure(R) alternative to tubal ligation, returned -17.8%, as acceptance and adoption of their innovative procedure has taken time. The table below lists the top 10 holdings, which collectively represent 30.6% of the total portfolio at the period end.

Having underweighted energy was clearly a mistake for both the current period and the last 3 1/2 years. We believe, however, that it would be another mistake to extrapolate a continuity of the rising commodity price trend from that which has occurred over the last few years. Rising commodity prices eventually elicit a supply response, a reduction in demand, technological improvements in efficiency, and an increase in the adoption of substitutes. These counter-forces have taken more time to develop than we anticipated, but we believe that fundamental economics will ultimately triumph, and we remain underweight in energy in all three funds. We also believe that a reversal in oil prices would significantly benefit our airline investments, which could see dramatic earnings growth in a more benign fuel cost environment. While our heavy allocation to and stock selections within the health care sector have detracted from our results for years, we continue to believe in the long-term theses of our investments in this sector. The bearish arguments on the group are well known and widely disseminated: a difficult FDA approval process, patent expirations, generic competition, price controls, and government intervention. We feel that little attention is being paid to promising drug pipelines, exciting and innovative new medical devices, aging populations in the U.S. and abroad, longer global life expectancies, greater purchasing power for health care products internationally, and valuations that we believe are very compelling. We have been and continue to be significantly overweight in technology stocks. Historically, technology spending has been cyclical, and the stocks are trading at valuations suggesting this is still the case. Additionally, there is pervasive fear that the meltdown in the financial sector will wreak havoc on technology spending, as the financial sector is traditionally a large consumer of information technology. Certainly, there are cyclical elements to technology companies, but we think the industry has changed rather dramatically over the last 10 years. Companies are much more global in nature, and many of our holdings generate more than half of their revenues overseas, insulating themselves somewhat from a difficult U.S. economy. Financially, the industry appears to be very strong, with cash laden balance sheets and very little debt. Although the companies fundamentally are still doing quite well, we have seen some softness, particularly in the semiconductor and semiconductor equipment names. These are typically the most cyclical names in the group but also tend to be early cycle stocks that anticipate economic upturns. We have been and continue to be underweight in financials in all three funds. We believe that the mis-pricing of credit is not limited to those instruments that have already seen corrections. It has also become increasingly evident that the use of derivatives has exposed many financial institutions to risks that are not identifiable in their financial reports, or even via due diligence and extensive management team meetings. The extent of this risk is often exposed only when liquidity problems arise, at which point a solvency crisis can ensue quickly and drastically. 6 LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS PRIMECAP ODYSSEY FUNDS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As shareholders of our own funds, we have been and continue to be participants in our own successes and failures. We are disappointed with our current results and remain focused on improving them. We appreciate the confidence you have demonstrated in us. We will continue to work diligently to prove worthy of that confidence.

This expense 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 expense example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from October 31, 2007 to April 30, 2008. ACTUAL EXPENSES The information in the table adjacent to the heading "Actual Performance" provides actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 column entitled "Expenses Paid during Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES The information in the table adjacent to the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" provides hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the funds' actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the information adjacent to the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds.

The Trust is comprised of three series: PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund, PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund, and PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund (the "Funds"), each of which is diversified within the meaning of the 1940 Act. PRIMECAP Management Company (the "Investment Advisor") serves as investment advisor to the Funds. The Funds commenced operations on November 1, 2004. Each Fund's investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation. Each Fund is authorized to issue unlimited shares of beneficial interest. All shares within each Fund have equal rights with respect to voting. (2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The Funds consistently follow the accounting policies set forth below which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A. SECURITY VALUATION. Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchanges are open for trading. Securities listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, the NASDAQ Global Select Market, and the NASDAQ Capital Market are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. Quotations of foreign securities in a foreign currency are valued daily in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined. Foreign currency exchange rates generally are determined prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"). Securities traded on an exchange for which there have been no sales are valued at the mean between the bid and asked price. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are stated at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by a valuation committee of the Investment Advisor in accordance with procedures approved by the board of trustees. In determining fair value, the Funds take into account all relevant factors and available information. Consequently, the price of the security used by the Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and there is no single standard for determining a security's fair value. As a result, different mutual funds could reasonably arrive at a different fair value for the same security. It is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security or from the values that other mutual funds may determine. Investments in other funds are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds, in accordance with the 1940 Act. 34 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRIMECAP ODYSSEY FUNDS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2008 - (UNAUDITED), (CONTINUED) Foreign securities are recorded in the financial statements after translation to U.S. dollars based on the applicable exchange rate at the end of the period. The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations arising as a result of changes in the currency exchange rate from the fluctuations arising as a result of changes in the market prices of investments during the period. B. SHARES VALUATION. The net asset value ("NAV") per share of a Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of the Fund. The result is rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds' shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. C. FOREIGN CURRENCY. Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange at the time of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such translations. The gain or loss resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate. Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of domestic origin. D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES. Each Fund has elected to be treated as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. The Funds intend to distribute substantially all of their taxable income and any capital gains in excess of applicable capital loss carryforwards. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable based upon their current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest. Effective April 30, 2008, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, a clarification of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 established financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurements of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Fund's net assets or results of operations. E. ALLOCATION OF EXPENSES. Each Fund is charged for those expenses directly attributable to it. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective assets or another appropriate method. 35 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRIMECAP ODYSSEY FUNDS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2008 - (UNAUDITED), (CONTINUED) F. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME, AND DISTRIBUTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are evaluated on the basis of identified costs. Premiums and discounts on the purchase of securities are amortized/accreted using the effective interest method. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified in the capital accounts. G. USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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. H. INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS. Under the Funds' organizational documents, its current and former officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. 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. Based on experience, the Funds would expect the risk of loss to be remote. (3) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS The cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2008 were as follows: FUND PURCHASES SALES - ---- --------- ----- PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund .............. $ 26,399,505 $ 6,643,571 PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund ............. $ 71,043,356 $ 31,965,966 PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund .. $ 18,718,796 $ 51,200,426 (4) DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes due to differing treatments of deferred wash sale losses. 36 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PRIMECAP ODYSSEY FUNDS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2008 - (UNAUDITED), (CONTINUED) As of October 31, 2007, the components of capital on a tax basis were as follows: PRIMECAP PRIMECAP PRIMECAP ODYSSEY ODYSSEY ODYSSEY AGGRESSIVE STOCK FUND GROWTH FUND GROWTH FUND ------------- ------------- ------------- Cost of investments for tax purposes(a) ........... $ 190,772,012 $ 448,595,861 $ 328,999,171 ============= ============= ============= Gross tax unrealized appreciation .................. 35,801,293 86,353,535 71,116,324 Gross tax unrealized depreciation ..................

Under the terms of the agreement, each of the Funds will pay a fee equal to the following annual percentages of average net assets: FOR THE FIRST ASSETS IN EXCESS OF $100,000,000 $100,000,000 PER FUND PER FUND ------------- ------------------- PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund 0.60% 0.55% PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund 0.60% 0.55% PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund 0.60% 0.55% Mellon Bank, N.A. serves as the Funds' custodian. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("USBFS") serves as the administrator, fund accountant, and transfer agent to the Funds. Quasar Distributors, LLC, an affiliate of USBFS, serves as the Funds' distributor. (6) ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 157 Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 establishes a fair valuation hierarchy to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS 157, and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined. In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 161") was issued and is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity's results of operations and financial position. Management is currently evaluating the implications of SFAS 161. The impact on the Funds' financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed. 38 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION PRIMECAP ODYSSEY FUNDS -------------------------------------------------------------- (UNAUDITED) PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES The Investment Advisor votes proxies relating to portfolio securities in accordance with procedures that have been approved by the Trust's board of trustees.
