NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FEBRUARY 28, 2007 (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION
The Destination Select Equity Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of The
Destination Funds (the "Trust"), an open-end investment company established as
an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated December 14, 2004. On
April 11, 2005, 10,000 shares of the Fund were issued for cash, at $10.00 per
share, to YCMNET Advisors, Inc., an affiliate of the investment advisor to the
Fund. The Fund commenced operations on December 29, 2005.
The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of the Fund's significant accounting policies:
SECURITIES VALUATION - The Fund's portfolio securities are valued as of the
close of business of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange
(normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern time). Common stocks and other equity-type
securities that are traded on a securities exchange are valued at the last
quoted sales price at the close of regular trading on the day the valuation is
made, or, if not traded on a particular day, at the closing bid price.
Securities which are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing
Price. Price information on listed stocks is taken from the exchange where the
security is primarily traded. Securities and other assets that do not have
market quotations readily available are valued at their fair value as determined
in good faith using procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
SHARE VALUATION - The net asset value per share of the Fund is calculated daily
by dividing the total value of the Fund's assets, less liabilities, by the
number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share
of the Fund is equal to the net asset value per share, except that shares of the
Fund are subject to a redemption fee of 2% if redeemed within 90 days of the
date of purchase. For the periods ended February 28, 2007 and August 31, 2006,
no redemption fees were collected.
INVESTMENT INCOME - Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Interest income is accrued as earned. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as
investment income at the fair value of the property received.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS - Security transactions are accounted for on the trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific
identification basis.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Distributions to shareholders arising from net
investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at
least once each year. The amount of distributions from net investment income and
net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax
regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. The tax character of distributions paid during the
six months ended February 28, 2007 was ordinary income. During the period ended
August 31, 2006, the Fund made no distributions.
8
DESTINATION SELECT EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
FEDERAL INCOME TAX - It is the Fund's policy to comply with the special
provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated
investment companies. As provided therein, in any fiscal year in which a Fund so
qualifies and distribute at least 90% of its taxable net income, the Fund (but
not the shareholders) will be relieved of federal income tax on the income
distributed. Accordingly, no provision for income taxes is required.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated
investment companies, it is also the Fund's intention to declare as dividends in
each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the
calendar year) and 98% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the
twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.
The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of
February 28, 2007:
Cost of portfolio investments $671,671
========
Gross unrealized appreciation 58,699
Gross unrealized depreciation (9,417)
--------
Net unrealized appreciation $ 49,282
Accumulated ordinary income 2,786
Accumulated long-term gains 422
--------
Distributable earnings $ 52,490
========
3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
During the six months ended February 28, 2007, cost of purchases and proceeds
from sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, was
$259,779 and $67,815, respectively.
4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
Destination Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") serves as the investment
advisor to the Fund. For its services, the Fund pays the Advisor, on a monthly
basis, an investment advisory fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of its average
daily net assets.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce a portion of its advisory fees or
to reimburse the Fund's operating expenses to the extent necessary so that the
Fund's ordinary operating expenses do not exceed an amount equal to 1.25%
annually of its average net assets. This expense limitation agreement remains in
effect through December 31, 2016. During the six months ended February 28, 2007,
the Advisor waived its entire investment advisory fee of $2,278 and reimbursed
other Fund expenses totaling $74,135.
9
DESTINATION SELECT EQUITY FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Advisor has concurrently entered into an agreement with the Fund which
permits the Advisor to recover expenses waived and/or reimbursed on behalf of
the Fund, but only for a period of three years after the expense is waived
and/or reimbursed, and only if such recovery will not cause the Fund's expense
ratio to exceed the annual rate of 1.25%. As of February 28, 2007, the amount
available for recovery that has been paid and/or waived by the Advisor on behalf
of the Fund is $162,670. The Advisor may recoup a portion of this amount no
later than the dates as stated below:
August 31, 2009 August 31, 2010
--------------- ---------------
$86,257 $76,413
The Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust is an officer of the Advisor. The Fund
reimburses the Advisor $12,000 annually for compliance services provided to the
Trust.
ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
Under the terms of an Administration Agreement with the Trust, Ultimus Fund
Solutions, LLC ("Ultimus") provides internal regulatory compliance services and
executive and administrative services for the Fund. Ultimus supervises the
preparation of tax returns, reports to shareholders of the Fund, reports to and
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities
commissions and materials for meetings of the Board of Trustees. For these
services, the Fund pays to Ultimus, on a monthly basis, a fee equal to 0.15% per
annum of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $50 million, 0.125% of such
assets from $50 million to $100 million, 0.10% of such assets from $100 million
to $250 million, 0.075% of such assets from $250 million to $500 million and
0.05% of such assets in excess of $500 million, provided, however, that the
minimum fee is $2,000 per month. For the six months ended February 28, 2007,
Ultimus was paid $12,000 in administration fees.
FUND ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
Under the terms of a Fund Accounting Agreement, Ultimus calculates the daily net
asset value per share and maintains the financial books and records of the Fund.
For these services, Ultimus receives a base fee of $2,500 per month, plus an
asset-based fee at the annual rate of .01% of the average value of its daily net
assets. For the six months ended February 28, 2007, the Fund paid Ultimus
$15,029 in fund accounting fees. In addition, the Fund pays all costs of
external pricing services.
TRANSFER AGENT AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICES AGREEMENT
Under the terms of a Transfer Agent and Shareholder Services Agreement, Ultimus
maintains the records of each shareholder's account, answers shareholders'
inquiries concerning their accounts, processes purchase and redemption of the
Fund's shares, acts as dividend and distribution disbursing agent and performs
other shareholder service functions. For these services, Ultimus receives from
the Fund for its services as transfer agent a fee payable monthly at an annual
rate of $24 per account, provided, however, that the minimum fee is $1,500 per
month. In addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses, including but not
limited to, postage and supplies. For the six months ended February 28, 2007,
Ultimus was paid $9,000 in transfer agent and shareholder services fees.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
Under the terms of a Distribution Agreement, Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the
"Distributor") serves as principal underwriter to the Fund. The Distributor
receives no compensation from the Fund for acting as principal underwriter.
However, the Distributor receives annual compensation of $6,000 from the Advisor
for such services.
Certain trustees and officers of the Fund are directors and officers of the
Advisor, or of Ultimus, or of the Distributor.
5. CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Fund indemnifies the Trust's officers and trustees for certain liabilities
that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund.
Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts
that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide
general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements
is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the
Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects
the risk of loss to be remote.
6. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB
Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48) "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes." 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 in the course of preparing the Fund's tax
returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of
being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not
deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be booked as a tax
expense in the current year and recognized as: a liability for unrecognized tax
benefits; a reduction of an income tax refund receivable; a reduction of
deferred tax asset; an increase in deferred tax liability; or a combination
thereof. 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. Recent SEC guidance allows implementing FIN 48 in net asset value
calculations as late as the last such calculation in the first required
financial statement period. As a result, the Fund will incorporate FIN 48 in its
Semi-Annual Report on February 29, 2008.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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 February 28, 2007, the
Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the amounts
reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures may be
required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of
certain of the measurements reported on the statement of changes in net assets
for a fiscal period.

DESTINATION SELECT EQUITY FUND
ABOUT YOUR FUND'S EXPENSES (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of costs on your
investment. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1)
transactions costs, including redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including
management fees and other Fund expenses. The following examples are intended to
help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and
to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual
funds.
A Fund's ongoing costs are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets.
This figure is known as the expense ratio. The expenses in the table below are
based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and
held for the entire period.
The table below illustrates the Fund's costs in two ways:
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 of operating
expenses 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.
To do so, 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
given for the Fund under the heading "Expenses Paid During Period."
HYPOTHETICAL 5% RETURN - This section is intended to help you compare the Fund's
costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual
return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but 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% return. You can assess the
Fund's costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical
examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.
Note that expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight and help you
compare ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge any sales loads. However, a
redemption fee of 2% is imposed on the sale of shares within 90 days of the date
of purchase.
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.
More information about the Fund's expenses, including annualized expense ratios,
can be found in this report. For additional information on operating expenses
and other shareholder costs, please refer to the Fund's prospectus.
