NEW COVENANT FUNDS
June 30, 2006
Dear Shareholders:
The economy generated healthy growth during the 12-month period between July 1, 2005 and June 30, 2006. Stocks posted solid returns for the year, although the market became increasingly volatile late in the period, and bonds generally retreated.
Economic growth fluctuated throughout the fiscal year 2006. The economy expanded briskly during the summer of 2005, supported by increases in corporate spending. The after-effects of Gulf Coast hurricanes, including a spike in already-high energy prices, combined with rising interest rates to restrain consumer and business spending for the rest of 2005. During the first three months of 2006, the economy expanded rapidly as energy prices retreated and a warm winter boosted home construction. Growth then slowed during the spring, due to the effects of higher interest rates and energy prices.
Oil and gasoline prices were generally high throughout the period. Economic strength around the world, particularly in the fast growing, oil-thirsty Chinese economy, increased demand for energy. Meanwhile, fears of supply disruptions, due largely to conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, caused speculators to bid up the price of crude oil. Steep oil and gasoline prices slowed the economy and led to higher prices on energy-intensive products such as food and transportation.
The Federal Reserve Board raised short-term interest rates nine times during the 12 months through June, each time by 0.25 percentage points, pushing the Federal Funds rate to 5.25% by the end of the period. Those actions continued a series of quarter-point interest-rate hikes at every Federal Reserve meeting since June of 2004. That policy was designed to combat the inflationary pressures resulting from strong economic growth and high energy prices. A new Chairman, Ben Bernanke, assumed leadership of the Federal Reserve in early 2006.
The economic environment during the 12-month period proved difficult for consumers, particularly those with lower incomes, as higher energy costs reduced disposable income and higher interest rates increased borrowing costs. Reduced consumer spending was offset by increased corporate spending. Corporations enjoyed strong balance sheets and good free cash flows, and increasingly sought ways to invest that money—in many cases by engaging in mergers and acquisitions.
Stocks posted strong gains through early May, and then pulled back amid volatile trading. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Composite Index (the “S&P 500” or the “S&P 500 Index”)1 returned 8.62% for the period as a whole, slightly lower than long-term averages.
The broad market generated gains early in the period. Stocks pulled back in early fall as investors worried that dramatically higher energy prices would weaken consumer spending, thereby undercutting economic growth and corporate profits. But the economy and profits proved resilient, and the market rallied between October and early May. The market sold off again in late spring, as investors worried that rising inflation would persuade the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates enough to slow the economy to a standstill. Stock prices were very volatile through the remainder of the period, as investors tried to weigh economic data and comments from the new Federal Reserve chairman. Stocks recovered somewhat by the end of June, as fears about inflation moderated.
Small- and mid-cap stocks and foreign equities led the way during the market’s rally, with emerging-markets stocks posting some of the strongest gains. Those leading stock categories generally fell the furthest when the market declined in late spring. Stocks in emerging markets especially suffered from the reversal of Japan’s 0% interest rate policy, which threatened to reduce growth in many Asian markets. Nevertheless, smaller stocks and foreign shares outperformed their larger, domestic counterparts for the period as a whole. Energy was the best-performing sector, as higher prices for oil and gasoline improved profits at energy firms. That trend helped value indices outperform growth indices.
Bonds declined slightly during the period. The Federal Reserve’s interest-rate increases contributed to higher yields on fixed-income securities, which led to lower prices on existing bonds. The bond market experienced a slightly inverted yield curve early in late 2005, an uncommon condition in which short-term bonds offer higher yields than longer-term bonds. That development reflected the market’s uncertainty about how the new Federal Reserve chairman would handle a difficult environment of rising inflation and potentially slower economic growth. But the yield curve subsequently flattened, and then yields rose on bonds of all term lengths. Corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities outperformed government bonds during the period.
The New Covenant Growth Fund
The New Covenant Growth Fund gained 10.17% during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2006. That compared to an 8.62% return for the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.
This Fund invests the majority of its assets in a core portfolio, and adds satellite portfolios of value, growth and international stocks to provide shareholders with greater diversification. The Fund also spreads its assets among small-, mid- and large-cap shares to gain exposure to various sectors of the equity market.2
The Fund’s exposure to international stocks, including emerging-markets shares, boosted returns relative to the benchmark during the 12-month period. The Fund generally held between 13% and 15% of assets in foreign stocks, including 2% to 3% of assets in emerging markets. Those allocations helped shareholders benefit from the strong run-up in foreign shares that occurred during much of the fiscal year. The Fund’s roughly 30% allocation to small- and mid-cap stocks also improved returns against the S&P 500, as smaller stocks outperformed larger stocks. The declines in foreign shares and smaller stocks toward the end of the period decreased the magnitude of the Fund’s superior performance relative to the benchmark. 2
The New Covenant Income Fund
The New Covenant Income Fund returned -0.90% during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2006. That net return nearly matched the -0.81% return of the Fund’s benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.3
The Fund’s Sub-Advisor held the Fund’s duration shorter than that of its benchmark throughout the period, but gradually reduced the duration gap to capture higher yields as interest rates rose. That strategy helped relative returns. The Fund’s relative performance also benefited early in the period from employing a structure known as a “barbell”, in which the portfolio emphasized bonds on either end of

the yield curve and held few intermediate-term securities. The Sub-Advisor gradually unwound that barbell structure during the period by adding intermediate-term securities. Finally, effective selection among mortgage-backed securities improved performance relative to the benchmark.2
The New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund
The New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund gained 5.93% during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2006. That compared to a 4.83% return for its benchmark, a composite index that is comprised of a 60% weighting in the S&P 500 and a 40% weighting in the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.
The Fund held a slightly overweight stock allocation throughout the period. That positioning helped the Fund outperform its composite benchmark, as stocks outperformed bonds and the Fund’s equity allocation out-gained the S&P 500. As of June 30, 2006, the Fund held 62.1% of its assets in the New Covenant Growth Fund and 37.1% in the New Covenant Income Fund. 2
The New Covenant Balanced Income Fund
The New Covenant Balanced Income Fund gained 3.26% during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2006. That compared to a 2.47% return for its benchmark, a composite index with a 35% allocation to the S&P 500 Index and a 65% allocation to the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.
Like the Balanced Growth Fund, the Balanced Income Fund held a slightly overweight allocation to stocks during the 12-month period. The Fund, as of June 30, 2006, held 36.8% of its assets in the New Covenant Growth Fund, with 60.8% of assets in the New Covenant Income Fund. That overweight stake in equities helped the Fund outperform its benchmark for the period, as did the strong relative performance of the New Covenant Growth Fund. 2
Thank you for your confidence in the New Covenant Funds.

NEW COVENANT FUNDS
June 30, 2006
1. Organization
New Covenant Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end, diversified management investment company, was organized as a Delaware business trust on September 30, 1998. It currently consists of four investment funds: New Covenant Growth Fund (“Growth Fund”), New Covenant Income Fund (“Income Fund”), New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund (“Balanced Growth Fund”), and New Covenant Balanced Income Fund (“Balanced Income Fund”), (individually, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds commenced operations on July 1, 1999. The Trust’s authorized capital consists of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of $0.001 par value. The Funds’ investment advisor is the NCF Investment Department of New Covenant Trust Company, N.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation (the “Advisor”).
The objectives of the Funds are as follows:
     
Growth Fund
  Long-term capital appreciation. Dividend income, if any, will be incidental.
 
   
Income Fund
  High level of current income with preservation of capital.
 
   
Balanced Growth Fund
  Capital appreciation with less risk than would be present in a portfolio of only common stocks.
 
   
Balanced Income Fund
  Current income and long-term growth of capital.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its 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 Trust enters into contracts with its vendors and others that provide general indemnification. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with GAAP.
Portfolio Valuation: Fund investments are recorded at market value. Portfolio securities listed on a domestic or foreign exchange are valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale that day, at the last reported bid price as of the close of trading. Equity securities traded on NASDAQ use the official closing price. Equity securities which are traded in the over-the-counter market only, but which are not included on NASDAQ, are valued at the mean between the last preceding bid and ask prices. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or more are valued using a pricing service when such prices are believed to reflect fair market value. Debt securities with a remaining maturity of less than sixty days are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investment companies are valued at net asset value. All other assets and securities with no readily determinable market values are valued using procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Factors used in determining fair value include but are not limited to: type of security or asset, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment in the security, evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased and sold, and information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security.
Foreign securities traded outside the United States are generally valued as of the time their trading is complete, which is usually different from the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Occasionally, events affecting the value of such securities may occur between such times and the close of the NYSE that will not be reflected in the security’s market value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such period, these securities will be valued at their fair value according to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. All securities and other assets of a Fund initially expressed in foreign currencies will be converted to U.S. dollar values at the foreign exchange rate every business day, generally at 4:00pm EST.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income: During the period, security transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount for both financial reporting and tax purposes. 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.

Options: The Income Fund may purchase or write options which are traded over-the-counter to hedge fluctuation risks in the prices of certain securities. When the Fund writes a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium received is reflected as a liability. The liability is subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. The premium paid by the Fund for the purchase of a call or put option is recorded as an investment and subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option purchased. The Fund is subject to the risk of an imperfect correlation between movement in the price of the option and the price of the underlying security. Risks may also arise due to illiquid secondary markets for the options. There were no options outstanding at June 30, 2006.
Foreign Currency Translation: The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment valuation and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in foreign currencies are converted each business day into U.S. dollars based upon current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments and income and expenses are converted into U.S. dollars based upon exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. That portion of unrealized gains or losses on investments due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed.
The Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments in securities that is due to changes in the foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in the market prices of such securities. The Funds report gains and losses on foreign currency related transactions as realized and unrealized gains and losses for financial reporting purposes, whereas such gains and losses are treated as ordinary income or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Growth Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. The Fund realizes gains and losses at the time forward foreign currency contracts are extinguished.
Loans of Portfolio Securities: The Growth Fund and Income Fund may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”). Security loans made pursuant to the Lending Agreement are required at all times to be secured by collateral valued at at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned. Cash collateral received is invested by JPMorgan pursuant to the terms of the Lending Agreement. All such investments are made at the risk of the Funds and, as such, the Funds are liable for investment losses. To the extent a loan is secured by non-cash col lateral, the borrower is required to pay a loan premium. Non-cash collateral received cannot be sold or repledged. Net income earned on the investment of cash collateral and loan premiums received on non-cash collateral are allocated between JPMorgan and the Funds in accordance with the Lending Agreement. Income allocated to the Funds is included in investment income in the respective Statements of Operations.
At June 30, 2006, the cash collateral received by the Growth Fund and the Income Fund was invested in repurchase agreements and other short-term securities. Information on the investment of cash collateral is shown in the Portfolio of Investments. The Growth Fund and the Income Fund receive payments from borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on the securities lent while simultaneously seeking to earn income on the investment cash collateral, a portion of which is retained by the Advisor. One of the risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, is the possible delay in the recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. There is also the risk that, when lending portfolio securities, the securities may not be available to a Fund on a timely basis and a Fund may, therefore, lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. In addition, in the event that a borrower of securities would file for bankruptcy or become insolvent, disposition of the securities may be delayed pending court action. However, loans will be made only to borrowers deemed by the Advisor to be creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in the judgment of the Advisor, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.
The value of the loaned securities and related collateral at June 30, 2006, was as follows:
                         
    Value of   Value of   Value of
Fund   Securities Loaned   Cash Collateral   Non-Cash Collateral
 
Growth Fund
  $ 117,639,073     $ 119,555,788     $  
Income Fund
    76,789,893       31,531,013       46,647,550

Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements, which are secured by obligations of the U.S. government, with a bank, broker-dealer or other financial institution. Each repurchase agreement is at least 102% collateralized and marked-to-market daily. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the counterparty to the repurchase agreement, realization of the collateral may by subject to certain costs, losses or delays.
Forward Commitments, When-Issued Securities and Delayed-Delivery Transactions: The Growth Fund and the Income Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis and make contracts to purchase or sell securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time. Debt securities are often issued on that basis. No income will accrue on securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis until the securities are delivered. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued, delayed-delivery of forward-commitment basis involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date. Although the Funds would generally purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or a forward-commitment basis with the intention of acquiring the securities, the Funds may dispose of such securities prior to settlement if the portfolio manager deems it appropriate to do so.
The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a when-issued or forward commitment. The Funds will normally realize a capital gain or loss in connection with these transactions. For purposes of determining the Income Fund’s average dollar-weighted maturity, the maturity of when-issued or forward-commitment securities will be calculated from the commitment date.
When the Funds purchase securities on a when-issued, delayed-delivery or forward-commitment basis, the Funds will maintain cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid portfolio securities having a value (determined daily) at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ purchase commitments. In the case of a forward-commitment to sell portfolio securities, the custodian will hold the portfolio securities in a segregated account while the commitment is outstanding. These procedures are designed to ensure that the Funds will maintain sufficient assets at all times to cover their obligations under when-issued purchases, forward-commitments and delayed-delivery transactions.
As of June 30, 2006, the Funds had outstanding when-issued or delayed-delivery purchase commitments with corresponding assets segregated, as follows:
         
Fund   Amount
 
Income Fund
  $ 75,593,854  
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income of all Funds are declared and paid at least annually. For all Funds, all net realized long-term or short-term capital gains, if any, will be declared and distributed at least annually. Interest and dividend payments will normally be distributed as income dividends on a quarterly basis for each of the Funds.
Income dividends and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income, gains and losses on various investment securities held by a Fund, timing differences in the recognition of income, gains and losses and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund.
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 reclassifications. To the extent that distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as returns of capital.
Federal Income Taxes: It is each Fund’s intention to continue to qualify annually as a regulated investment company by complying with the appropriate provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision for federal income tax has been made.
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 Funds’ tax returns 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.

Allocation of Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one Fund of the Trust are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets or some other reasonable method.
Expenses Paid Indirectly: The Growth and Income Funds direct certain portfolio trades to brokers who pay a portion of their expenses. Under this arrangement, the Growth Fund and the Income Fund had expenses reduced by $121,110 and $1,901, respectively, or 0.01 % and 0.00%, respectively, as a percentage of the average daily net assets of the Fund on an annualized basis for the year ended June 30, 2006.
3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with the NCF Investment Department of New Covenant Trust Company, N.A. Under the Agreement, the Advisor is responsible for managing the Funds’ investments as well as furnishing the Funds with certain administrative services. The Growth Fund pays the Advisor a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.99% of the Growth Fund’s average daily net assets and the Income Fund pays the Advisor a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.75% of the Income Fund’s average daily net assets. The Advisor does not receive advisory fees for the Balanced Growth Fund and Balanced Income Fund (the “Balanced Funds”). The Advisor has entered into Sub-Advisory Agreements with Sub-Advisors to assist in the selection and management of the Growth Fund’s and Income Fund’s investment securities. It is the responsibility of the Sub-Advisors, under the direction of the Advisor, to make day-to-day investment decisions for these Funds. The Advisor, not the Funds, pays each Sub-Advisor a quarterly fee for their services. The Advisor pays the Sub-Advisor’s fee directly from its own advisory fees. The sub-advisory fees are based on the assets of a Fund for which the Sub-Advisor is responsible for making investment decisions.
The following are the Sub-Advisors for the Growth Fund: Capital Guardian Trust Company, Mazama Capital Management Inc., Santa Barbara Asset Management Inc., Sound Shore Management Inc., and Wellington Management Company, LLP.
Tattersall Advisory Group is the Sub-Advisor for the Income Fund.
The Trust employs a Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) who receives a portion of his compensation as approved by the Board of Trustees, as well as reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. The CCO is also an employee of the Advisor.
The Trust is a party to a Shareholder Services Agreement pursuant to which each Fund is authorized to make payments to certain entities which may include investment advisors, banks, trust companies and other types of organizations (“Authorized Service Providers”) for providing administrative services with respect to shares of the Funds attributable to or held in the name of the Authorized Service Provider for its clients or other parties with whom they have a servicing relationship. Under the terms of the Shareholder Services Agreement, each Fund is authorized to pay monthly an Authorized Service Provider (which may include affiliates of the Funds) a shareholder services fee at the rate of 0.25% on an annual basis of the average daily net assets of the shares of the Fund attributable to or held in the name of the Authorized Service Provider for providing certain administrative services to Fund shareholders with whom the Authorized Service Provider has a servicing relationship. In connection with the Shareholder Services Agreement, the Advisor has agreed to waive the amount of the investment advisory fees payable to it by the Fund to the extent of the amount paid in fees by the Fund to any affiliated Authorized Service Provider under the Shareholder Services Agreement.
The Trust has entered into servicing agreements with BISYS Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (“BISYS Ohio”), an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of The BISYS Group, Inc. (“BISYS”). Under the servicing agreements, BISYS Ohio provides transfer agency, administrative and fund accounting services to the Funds. Under the terms of the Transfer Agency Agreement, BISYS Ohio is entitled to receive account based fees and annual fund level fees, as well as reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agency services. Under the terms of a fund accounting agreement, BISYS Ohio is entitled to a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.03% of the Trust’s average daily net assets for the first $500,000,000, 0.0225% for $500,000,001 to $5,000,000,000, and 0.01% over $5,000,000,000. Under the Administration Agreement, BISYS is entitled to a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.02% of the Trust’s average daily net assets. However, pursuant to an April 22, 2005 amendment to the Administration Agreement, BISYS Ohio annually waives $280,000.
The Trust issues shares of the Funds pursuant to a Distribution Agreement with New Covenant Funds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), under which the Distributor serves as the principal distributor of the Funds’ shares. The Funds do not pay the Distributor in its capacity as principal distributor. On February 23, 2006, the Distributor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Covenant Trust Company, N.A., a subsidiary of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Foundation. Prior to February 23, 2006, the Distributor was an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of BISYS.
The Trust has a Custodian Agreement with JPMorgan.

5. Risk Factors
The performance of a Fund’s investments in non-U.S. companies and in companies operating internationally or in foreign countries will depend principally on economic conditions in their product markets, the securities markets where their securities are traded, and currency exchange rates. These risks are present because of uncertainty in future exchange rates back into U.S. dollars and possible political instability, which could affect foreign financial markets and local economies. There are also risks related to social and economic developments abroad, as well as risks resulting from the differences between the regulations to which U.S. and foreign issuers and markets are subject.
The Funds will not invest more than 15% of the value of their net assets in securities that are illiquid because of restrictions on transferability or other reasons. Repurchase agreements with deemed maturities in excess of seven days and securities that are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, but that may be purchased by institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A are subject to this 15% limit (unless such securities are variable-amount master-demand notes with maturities of nine months or less or unless the Board determines that a liquid trading market exists). The Funds may purchase securities which are not registered under the Securities Act but which can be sold to “qualified institutional buyers” in accordance with Rule I44A under the Securities Act. In some cases, such securities are classified as “illiquid securities”; however, any such security will not be considered illiquid so long as it is determined by the Advisor, under guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees, that an adequate trading market exists for that security. This investment practice could have the effect of increasing the level of illiquidity in a Fund during any period that qualified institutional buyers become uninterested in purchasing these restricted securities.
The Income Fund may invest a limited amount of assets in debt securities which are rated below investment grade (hereinafter referred to as “lower-rated securities”) or which are unrated but deemed equivalent to those rated below investment grade by the portfolio managers. The lower the ratings of such debt securities, the greater their risks. These debt instruments generally offer a higher current yield than that available from higher-grade issues, and typically involve greater risks. The yields on lower-rated securities will fluctuate over time. In general, prices of all bonds rise when interest rates fall and fall when interest rates rise. Lower-rated securities are subject to adverse changes in general economic conditions and to changes in the financial condition of their issuers. During periods of economic downturn or rising interest rates, issuers of these instruments may experience financial stress that could adversely affect their ability to make payments of principal and interest, and increase the possibility of default.
The Balanced Funds invest their assets primarily in the Growth Fund and the Income Fund. By investing primarily in shares of these Funds, shareholders of the Balanced Funds indirectly pay a portion of the operating expenses, management expenses and brokerage costs of the underlying Funds as well as their own operating expenses. Thus, shareholders of the Balanced Funds may indirectly pay slightly higher total operating expenses and other costs than they would pay by directly owning shares of the Growth Fund and Income Fund. Total fees and expenses to be borne by shareholders in either Balanced Fund will depend on the portion of the Funds’ assets invested in the Growth Fund and in the Income Fund. A change in the asset allocation of either Balanced Fund could increase or decrease the fees and expenses actually borne by shareholders in that Fund. The Balanced Funds are also subject to rebalancing risk. Rebalancing activities, while undertaken to maintain a Fund’s investment risk-to-reward ratio, may cause the Fund to under-perform other funds with similar investment objectives. For the Balanced Growth Fund, it is possible after rebalancing from equities into a greater percentage of fixed-income securities, that equities will outperform fixed- income investments. For the Balanced Income Fund, it is possible that after rebalancing from fixed-income securities into a greater percentage of equity securities, that fixed-income securities will outperform equity investments. The performance of the Balanced Growth Fund and the Balanced Income Fund depends on the performance of the underlying Funds in which they invest.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
New Covenant Funds:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, of the New Covenant Funds (comprised of New Covenant Growth Fund, New Covenant Income Fund, New Covenant Balanced Growth Fund, and New Covenant Balanced Income Fund) (collectively “the Funds”) including the portfolios of investments, as of June 30, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the New Covenant Funds as of June 30, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Additional Fund Information — Hypothetical Cost of Investing
As a shareholder of the New Covenant Funds, you incur 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 the New Covenant 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 January 1, 2006 through June 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   Expense Paid   Expense Ratio
    Account Value   Account Value   During Period*   During Period**

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each of the New Covenant Funds’ actual expense ratios 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.

Approval of the Continuation of the Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements
The Investment Advisory Agreement and Sub Advisory Agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) were most recently re-approved by the Board of Trustees of the New Covenant Funds (the “Trust”) on May 22, 2006. Relevant provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940 specifically provide that it is the duty of the Board to request and evaluate such information as the Board determines is reasonably necessary to allow the Board to properly consider the continuation of the Agreements, and it is the duty of the Advisor and the Sub Advisors to furnish the Trustees with such information as is responsive to their request. Accordingly, in determining whether to renew the Agreements, the Board of Trustees requested, and the Advisor and the Sub Advisors provided, information and data relevant to the Board’s consideration. This included materials regarding the investment performance of the Funds and information regarding the fees and expenses of the Funds, as compared to other similar mutual funds. As part of their deliberations, the Trustees also considered and relied upon the information about the Funds, the Advisor and the Sub Advisors that had been provided to them throughout the past year in connection with their regular Board meetings at which they engage in the ongoing oversight of the Funds and their operations. The Independent Trustees discussed the materials prior to the May 22, 2006 Board meeting as well as in executive session during the meeting.
Among the factors the Board considered was the overall performance of each Fund and each Sub Advisor relative to the performance of similar mutual funds in each Fund’s peer group and relative to applicable benchmark indexes on a long-term basis and, particularly for the two new Sub Advisors, Mazama Capital Management, Inc. and Santa Barbara Asset Management, Inc., over shorter time periods. The Board took note of the fact that the performance results achieved for the Funds were favorable on both a short-term and on a long-term basis and that the Advisor produced these results in a manner consistent with the stated investment objective and policies of each of the Funds. The Board looked at the contribution made by each Sub Advisor to the short-term and, if relevant, long-term performance. The Board also took note of the long-term relationship between the Advisor and the Funds and the efforts that had been undertaken by the Advisor to foster the growth and development of the Funds since their inception. The Board considered the Advisor’s formation in 2005 of a Social Witness Committee of its board to raise the visibility and importance of the social responsibility aspect of investing the Funds’ portfolios. In addition, the Board compared the expenses of each of the Funds to the expenses of their peers, based on data compiled by an independent source. The Board noted the range of investment advisory and administrative services provided by the Advisor to the Funds and the nature, extent and quality of these services. The Board also reviewed financial information concerning the Advisor relating to its operation of the Funds, noting the overall profitability of the relationship with the Funds to the Advisor and the financial soundness of the Advisor as demonstrated by the financial information provided. In addition, the Board discussed with the Advisor economies of scale that could be realized by the Funds and the impact of potential economies of scale on the fees assessed on the Growth and Income Funds. The Trustees considered information regarding the Advisor’s services in connection with negotiating a relationship with a new custodian that resulted in reducing the Funds’ custodial expenses significantly during the year; the Advisor’s purchase of the Funds’ distributor and the costs assumed by the Advisor’s affiliates in that regard; the services performed by the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (who is an employee of the Advisor), particularly in his oversight of the Sub Advisors; the services provided by the Advisor in managing the Funds’ proxy voting and other additional services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, and concluded that the shareholders benefit from these additional services under the Investment Advisory Agreement.
In connection with their review of the Sub Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered, in addition to the performance information discussed above, the Sub Advisors’ adherence to the Funds’ investment objectives and policies, the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer’s favorable compliance report on each Sub Advisor and the fees charged by the Sub Advisors to other clients as compared to the fees they receive from the Advisor. While the Board considered financial information regarding each Sub Advisor, it did not consider information as to the profitability of each Sub Advisory Agreement to the applicable Sub Advisor, since the fees payable to the Sub Advisors had been negotiated at arm’s length and were paid by the Advisor. The Trustees noted that the Sub Advisors participated in a commission recapture program administered by the Advisor, which reduced the Funds’ expenses. The Board considered that Capital Guardian Trust Company and Santa Barbara Asset Management, Inc. do not pay for any soft dollar services through trades for the Growth Fund, and that the soft dollar commissions for trades by Mazama Capital Management, Inc., Sound Shore Management Inc. and Wellington Management Company LLC were a small portion of their trades for the Growth Fund.
In reaching their conclusion with respect to the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees did not identify any one single factor as being controlling; rather, the Trustees took note of a combination of factors that influenced their decision-making process. The Board did, however, identify the performance of the Funds, the commitment of the Advisor to the successful operation of the Funds, and the level of expenses of the Funds as being important elements of their consideration. The Board took particular note of the performance of each Fund compared to that of similar socially responsible (“SRI”) funds in the Morningstar database, noting that the Growth Fund significantly outperformed the average of its SRI peers for the 1, 3 and 5 year periods ended March 31, 2006; the Income Fund performed near the average of its peers for each such period; the Balanced Growth Fund performed in the top half of its SRI peers for each such period; and the Balanced Income Fund was the top performing of its very small SRI peer group for each such period. The Board also took particular note of the unique duties that the Advisor undertakes in order to assure that the Funds are invested in a manner that is consistent with the social-witness principles of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.). The Board further considered the fact that the Advisor had undertaken during the year to waive its investment advisory fees to the extent of the amount of shareholder services fees paid by the Funds during the year in order to limit the overall operating expenses of the Funds.
Based upon their review and consideration of these factors and other matters deemed relevant by the Board in reaching an informed business judgment, the Board of Trustees, including all of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable in light of the services provided and the Board therefore voted to renew the Agreements for an additional one-year period. During this process the Independent Trustees were counseled by their own independent legal counsel (as such term is defined in the rules under the 1940 Act).
