PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION

Electric City Value Fund

August 31, 2009


On August 31, 2009, the Electric City Value Fund (“ECVFX” or “Fund”) had 41 holdings, in addition to cash and equivalents. The audited net asset value was $10.55 per share. During the twelve-month period ended August 31, 2009, the Fund’s total return was -13.95% versus total returns of -18.25% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and

-18.62% for the Russell 3000® Index. Since the Fund’s inception on December 30, 1999, through August 31, 2009, the Fund’s total return was 20.00% versus total returns of -16.53% for the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and -10.75% for the Russell 3000® Index. Please refer to the “Performance Illustration” section for additional total return details and disclosures.


During the fiscal year, some of the largest positive contributors to Fund performance were Dow Chemical, Freeport McMoran Copper & Gold, United Technologies, Sigma Aldrich, and Emerson Electric. The positive contributions generally appear to be based on company specific issues.  Detractors to the Fund’s performance came from the Fund’s holdings of Stockhouse, Versant, Landec, American International Group and Tejon Ranch. The negative contributions generally appear to be based on company specific issues.


During the fiscal year the economy has faced negative headwinds, including negative GDP (Gross Domestic Product) growth, reduced residential real estate pricing and building activity, reductions in consumer spending and tight business and consumer credit conditions. Additionally, domestic equity markets have deteriorated over the period, decreasing substantially during the first half of the fiscal year, followed by a substantial rebound during the back half of the fiscal year. Collectively, these factors appear to have negatively impacted the Fund’s performance.


During the past year portfolio turnover was 52.65%. This is somewhat higher than normal for the Fund, but still much lower than the typical domestic equity mutual fund. During the prior four fiscal years portfolio turnover averaged 23.53%, and ranged between 10.79% and 31.87%. In general, low turnover has the potential to be beneficial as “friction” costs; capital gains taxes, commissions, and the trading impact of bid/ask spreads, are often less costly for low versus high turnover funds.

Investment Strategy


The Electric City Value Fund seeks to build shareholder wealth by investing in companies that exhibit the potential for significant increases in total return. While the Fund will generally use a “buy and hold” investment strategy, the Fund may occasionally invest on a short-term basis.


The Fund invests in common stocks without restrictions regarding market capitalization and normally invests at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in common stocks or securities convertible into common stocks. Additionally, the Fund holds at least 80% of the total value of the common stocks in a core position of no more than 40 companies.


The Fund seeks to identify and invest in companies which exhibit some or all of the following criteria:


*

solid financial condition;

*

consistent earnings and/or dividend history;

*

company or industry group is temporarily out of favor;

*

undervalued or overlooked assets;

*

favorable insider ownership trends;

*

not widely owned or followed by institutional investors;

*

experienced or is likely to experience a triggering event that may cause an increase in value.


Examples of a trigger for a possible increase in value include:


*

a change in corporate structure;

*

a change in a company’s key management;

*

initiating or increasing an authorized buy-back of a company’s own stock;

*

apparent corporate efforts to take advantage of business opportunities;

*

increased following by securities analysts and institutional investors;

*

beneficiary of a long term demographic or economic trend;

*

beneficiary of change in government policy or regulations.


No consideration is given to benchmark allocations of individual companies or sectors; therefore the Fund’s performance may vary considerably from benchmark returns. From our perspective, we are investing in a “market of stocks” not the “stock market”.

*Period beginning December 30, 1999

(Electric City Value Fund’s commencement of operations)


1. Dividends reinvested into asset/index.


2. The Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index ("S&P 500") is a market value-weighted index, representing the aggregate market value of the common equity of 500 stocks primarily traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The S&P 500 is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of common stock prices. The figures for the S&P 500 reflect all dividends reinvested but do not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes.


3. The Russell 3000® Index ("Russell 3000") is constructed in a manner designed to represent the broad U.S. equity universe. The Russell 3000 consists of the 3000 largest publicly listed U.S. companies, representing about 98% of the total capitalization of the entire U.S. stock market. The figures for the Russell 3000 reflect all dividends reinvested but do not reflect any deductions for fees, expenses or taxes.


The performance quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  The returns shown do not reflect a deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.  Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.  The Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing.  Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by calling 1-800-453-6556.

The Fund intends to invest in a wide variety of equity and debt securities.  The investments in securities are carried at market value.  The market quotation used for common stocks, including those listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, is the last sale price on the date on which the valuation is made or, in the absence of sales, at the closing bid price.  Over-the-counter securities will be valued on the basis of the bid price at the close of each business day.  Short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market.  Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors.  Factors that are considered when determining fair value include:


General factors to be considered by the Adviser in determining a valuation method for a               particular security shall include but not be limited to

(a.)

the fundamental analytical data relating to the investment;

(b.)

the nature and durations of restrictions (if any) on the disposition of the security, and;

(c.)

an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is purchased and sold

Specific factors to be considered by the Adviser in determining a valuation method for a particular security shall include:

(d.)

type of security

(e.)

financial statements of the issuer of the security

(f.)

cost at date of purchase

(g.)

size of holdings in the security

(h.)

discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same general type as the subject security at the time of purchase and at time of valuation

(i.)

special reports relating to the security prepared by analysts

(j.)

information relating to transactions and/or offerings with respect to the security

(k.)

existence of merger proposals or tender offers affecting the security

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(l.)

extent and price of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or comparable companies, and

(m.)

any other reasonably ascertainable relevant matters.


Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices.  When prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, subject to review of the Board of Directors.  


As required by the fair value topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The topic also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs  to  the valuation of an asset or liability.  The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:



Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments


Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)


Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)



The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.


The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2009:

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:

The Fund’s policy is to continue to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Sub Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders; therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.


OPTION WRITING:

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting the closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the

ELECTRIC CITY VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AUGUST 31, 2009


amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has a realized gain or loss.  If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund, as writer of an option, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.  The Fund did not write any options during the year.


DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  To the extent that book/tax differences are permanent, they are reclassed to capital paid in or net short term capital gains in the period in which the difference arises. The reclassification had no effect on net assets.


OTHER:

Security transactions are recorded on the trade dates.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of applicable country’s tax rates and rules.

RECLASSIFICATIONS:

In accordance with SOP 93-2, the Fund has recorded a reclassification in the capital accounts.  As of August 31, 2009, the Fund recorded permanent book/tax differences of $4,831 from net investment loss to paid-in capital.  This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and is designed generally to present undistributed income and net realized gains on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders.


NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

For fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 the Fund is required by the Derivates and Hedging Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to provide enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact of adoption this accounting topic will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.


As required by the Fair Value Topic of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification the Fund adopted standards to evaluate the level and activity for the assets and liabilities of the Fund to ascertain that the fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced liquidation or distressed sale) between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. Management of the Fund does not believe that any adjustments were necessary to the financial statements at adoption.


USE OF ESTIMATES:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated subsequent events through October 23, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGREEMENTS

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory and administration agreement with Mohawk Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”).  The Fund is authorized to pay the Adviser a fee equal to an annual rate of 0.95% of the average daily net assets of the Fund for investment advisory services and a fee equal to an annual rate of 1.0% of the average daily net assets of the Fund for administrative fees.  Mohawk Asset Management, Inc. has agreed to be responsible for payment of all operating expenses of the Fund except for taxes, interest, litigation expenses and any other extraordinary expenses.


As a result of the above calculation, for the year ending August 31, 2009, the Adviser earned advisory fees totaling $19,783 and administrative fees totaling $20,824 for services provided to the Fund. As of August 31, 2009, the Fund owed the Adviser $86 for advisory fees and $90 for administrative fees.


4.)  DISTRIBUTION PLANS

As noted in the Fund’s prospectus, the Fund has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.  The Fund’s plan provides that the Fund pay a servicing or Rule 12b-1 fee of .25% of the average net assets to the adviser for performing certain servicing functions for Fund’s shareholders and to cover fees paid to broker-dealers for sales and promotional services.  After January 6, 2005 the plan was authorized but not implemented.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Shareholders and

Board of Directors of

Electric City Funds, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the Electric City Value Fund (the Fund), a series of the Electric City Funds, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of August 31, 2009 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended.  The financial highlights for the year ended August 31, 2005 were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 25, 2005, expressed an unqualified opinion on this information. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of August 31, 2009, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  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 Electric City Value Fund as of August 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the four years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Expense Illustration

August 31, 2009 (Unaudited)

    

Expense Example

    

As a shareholder of the Electric City Value Fund, you incur ongoing costs which consist of management fees. This Example is 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.

    

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, March 1, 2009 through August 31, 2009.

    

Actual Expenses

    

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

    

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

    

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypotheticalexpenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses,which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.


The Company has adopted a written code of ethics, sections of which apply to the Company’s President, Treasurer, and officers performing similar functions.  The provisions of these sections are reasonably designed to promote:


1.

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;


2.

Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company;


3.

Compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;


4.

The prompt reporting of violations of the code to an appropriate person or person identified in the code; and


5.

Accountability for adherence to the code.


The Company will provide a copy of its most recent code of ethics, upon request, to any person.  You may request a copy of the code by writing to the Company at Electric City Funds, Inc., c/o Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC, 8869 Brecksville Road, Suite C, Brecksville, OH  44141, or by calling the Company, toll free, at 1-800-453-6556.



Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.


The Board of Directors has created a permanent audit committee, the members of which at August 31, 2004 were Mr. Patrick DeCesare (Mr. Edward A. Sorensen was elected to the Board of Directors and appointed to the audit committee during September 2004).  Each member of the audit committee is “independent”, as that term is defined under applicable law.  The audit committee meets at least annually with the independent accountants and executive officers of the Company.  The audit committee reviews, among other matters, the accounting principles being applied by the Company in financial reporting, the scope and adequacy of internal controls, and the responsibilities and fees of the independent accountants.  The recommendations of the audit and committee are reported to the full Board.  


The audit committee does not currently have a member that qualifies as a “financial expert”, as that term is defined under current SEC regulations.  The straightforward nature of the Funds’ investments and accounting requirements and the fact that transfer agency and accounting functions are performed by an unaffiliated third party and audited by an independent accounting firm, would not negatively impact the audit committee’s ability to fulfill its requirements without the presence of a ‘financial expert.”

Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies


The audit committee meets at least annually prior to the filing of annual financial statements, meets with the auditor for the purpose of discussing services to be provided by the auditor, to determine whether the auditor is likely to perform any non-audit services, and to determine the scope of the audit. None of these functions is delegated to management.  The audit committee has not adopted pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.


(2)
