Dear Shareholders,
 
Assalamu Alaykum (greetings of peace),
 
We are pleased to report that Iman Fund performed well in the six-month period ending November 30, 2010, gaining 14.62%. For the above period, Iman Fund handily outperformed relevant indexes including the Dow Jones Islamic Market USA Index (up 10.89%, without dividends), the Russell 3000 Growth Index  (up 13.31%), the S&P 500 Index (up 9.49%), and Morningstar Large Cap Growth Category (up 12.34%.)
 
We attribute our success to adhering to a disciplined methodology of research seeking to balance risk and reward, concentrating on quality companies, in addition to seeking special situations and stocks selling at attractive valuations. We benefited from our significant holdings in quality foreign companies, U.S. companies with substantial businesses overseas, and carefully selected emerging markets stocks. Overweighing gold, commodity, and information technology stocks and our measured exposure to mid- and small-caps (in our large cap fund) helped Iman Fund’s performance. The lack of exposure to financial stocks was a positive factor. Underweighting transportation detracted from performance.
 
Economic and Market Recap: Despite some volatility, the U.S. stock market managed considerable gains in the last six months. Better earnings reports and some merger activity caused increasing optimism. The year 2010 started with a decline in January followed by an upward trend as fears of the Great Depression dissipated. April witnessed a setback for equities attributed to the European debt crises and persisting high unemployment. The six-month reporting period ending November 30, 2010 was marked by U.S. equities regrouping in July and falling in August which was followed by a nice rally that continued through year-end. The market appears to have concluded that corporate earnings’ gains can be achieved despite lingering high unemployment. Fears of double dip recession gave away to predictions of better, though not strong, economic growth. Mid- and small-cap companies surged indicating more optimism and less concern with assuming risk. Your Fund was well positioned to benefit from these factors and gained well in this upward stock movement.
 
Looking forward, we believe that the Fund’s portfolio is well positioned for the prevailing economic climate. We reduced or sold some positions that performed quite well and reached full valuation in our opinion. We initiated or increased holdings in some stocks which lagged the market rally and, we believe, are likely to catch up. We are overweighed in international equities and have some positions in mid- and small-cap stocks that are undervalued as they are perceived to be more dependent on good economic growth.
 
We believe that a basic principle of successful investing is to invest for the long run; riding out the markets’ inevitable ups and downs rather than selling into panic or chasing the hottest fad. Patience could also afford the benefits of compounding, lower transaction cost, and reduced taxes. Diversification including geographic diversification by owning overseas and emerging markets stocks is of utmost importance.  Another principle is investing regularly, which can help lower the average cost of share purchases. Investing a fixed sum of money each month or quarter ensures that one won’t purchase all shares at market highs. This strategy — known as dollar cost averaging — takes out the “emotion” from investing, and helps shareholders avoid irrational panics. No strategy can eliminate risk, but adhering to these prudent principles could considerably decrease the impact of short-term declines as they lessen the possibility of missing out on the next upward movement.
 
While we are delighted with the Fund’s achievements in the last six months, we will not become complacent. We will continue to be vigilant in following market changes and look carefully for investment opportunities. We thank you for entrusting your hard-earned money with us. We promise to continue to work hard to prove worthy of your trust.

President, Iman Fund

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
 
The above discussion and analysis of the Fund reflect the opinions of the Advisor as of January 2011, are subject to change, and any forecasts made cannot be guaranteed.
 
Mutual Fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Historically, the Advisor believes that the Islamic restrictions placed on the Fund have not adversely affected the Fund; however, it is possible that these restrictions may result in the Fund not performing as well as mutual funds not subject to such restrictions.  Investments in smaller companies involve additional risk, such as limited liquidity and greater volatility.
 
The S&P 500 Index includes 500 common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Index is a market capitalization-weighted index representing approximately two-thirds of the total market value of all domestic common stocks. The Dow Jones Islamic Market USA Index is a diversified compilation of U.S. equity securities considered by Dow Jones to be in compliance with Islamic principles. The performance of the Dow Jones Islamic Market USA Index does not include the reinvestment of dividends. The Russell 3000 Growth Index takes the largest 3,000 U.S. companies based on market capitalization and measures the performance of those with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. You cannot invest directly in an index. Correlation is a statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each other.  Each Morningstar category average represents a universe of funds with similar investment objectives.
 
Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market.
 
Dollar Cost Averaging involves continuous investment in securities regardless of fluctuating price levels of such securities.  The investor should consider his/her financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels.  Such a plan does not assure a profit and does not protect against loss in declining markets.

IMAN FUND
EXPENSE EXAMPLE
November 30, 2010 (Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) 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 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 (6/1/10 - 11/30/10).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales load or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent.  If you request a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Fund’s transfer agent.  IRA accounts will be charged a $15.00 annual maintenance fee.  The example below includes, but is not limited to, management fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees.  However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses, and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles.  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 hypothetical expenses 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 the 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.  Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. Please note that Iman Fund does not have any sales charge (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees.

IMAN FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
November 30, 2010 (Unaudited)


1.
Organization
 
Allied Asset Advisors Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 14, 2000.  The Trust currently offers one series of shares to investors, the Iman Fund (the “Fund”), a diversified series of the Trust.  Allied Asset Advisors, Inc.  (“AAA” or the “Advisor”), a Delaware corporation, serves as investment advisor to the Fund.
 
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par value, of each series.  The Trust currently offers one class of shares of the Fund.
 
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek growth of capital while adhering to Islamic principles. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund seeks investments that meet Islamic principles whose price the Fund’s Advisor anticipates will increase over the long term. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests its net assets in domestic and foreign securities chosen by the Advisor in accordance with Islamic principles. Islamic principles generally preclude investments in certain businesses (e.g., alcohol, pornography and gambling) and investments in interest bearing debt obligations.  Any uninvested cash will be held in non-interest bearing deposits or invested in a manner following Islamic principles.
 
2.
Significant Accounting Policies
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.  These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
 
Use of Estimates:  In preparing the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of 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 these estimates.
 
Security Valuation:  Investment securities are carried at value determined using the following valuation methods:
 
Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange or NASDAQ for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price on the valuation date.
 
Options, futures, unlisted U.S. securities and listed U.S. securities not traded on the valuation date for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recent quoted bid price.  The Fund did not hold any such securities during the six months ended November 30, 2010.
 
Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor under direction of the Board of Trustees.
 
The Fund has adopted fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
 
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at November 30, 2010
 
The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
 
Level 1 -
Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 -
Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 
14

 
IMAN FUND
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
November 30, 2010 (Unaudited)

 
Level 3 -
Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between investments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the marketplace. The inputs will be considered by the Advisor, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment’s fair value. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.
 
Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions by the Advisor. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.
 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of November 30, 2010:

Additional information regarding the industry and/or geographical classification of these investments is disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.
 
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements (ASU 2010-06). ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures regarding transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 (effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009), as well as additional details regarding Level 3 transaction activity (effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010). The Fund has adopted ASU 2010-06. The adoption of this Standard did not affect the Fund’s financial position or results of operations.
 
There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements during the reporting period for the Fund, as compared to their classification from the most recent annual report. The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the six months ended November 30, 2010.
 
Foreign Securities: Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and consideration not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.  The Fund does not invest in securities of U.S. or foreign governments.
 
Federal Income Taxes:  It is the Fund’s policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and the Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders.  Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
 
As of and during the year ended May 31, 2010, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as other expense in the Statement of Operations.  During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.  The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax returns remains open for the years ended May 31, 2007 through May 31, 2010.

The Fund intends to utilize provisions of the federal income tax laws which allow it to carry a realized capital loss forward for eight years following the year of the loss and offset such losses against any future realized capital gains.   At May 31, 2010, the Fund had capital loss carryovers as follows:
 
      Net Capital
Capital Loss
      Loss Carryovers*
Carryover Expiration
$       153,649
5/31/2017
     7,834,622
5/31/2018
 
Capital gain distributions will resume in the future to the extent gains are realized in excess of the available carryovers.
 
As of May 31, 2010, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
 
Cost of investments
  $ 27,664,951  
Gross tax unrealized appreciation
  $ 1,624,747  
Gross tax unrealized depreciation
    (1,733,643 )
Net tax unrealized depreciation
  $ (108,896 )
Undistributed ordinary income
     
Undistributed long-term capital gain
     
Total distributable earnings
  $  
Other accumulated losses
    (7,988,271 )
Total accumulated losses
  $ (8,097,167 )
 
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized and realized gains and losses is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses relating to wash sale transactions.
 
Under current tax laws, losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first business day of the following fiscal year.
 
Distributions to Shareholders:  The Fund will distribute substantially all of the net investment income and net realized gains that it has realized on the sale of securities.  These income and gains distributions will generally be paid once each year, on or before December 31.  The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense or gain items for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes.
 
No distributions were paid for the six months ended November 30, 2010 and year ended May 31, 2010.
 
Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  The Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences related to the components of the Fund’s net assets.  These reclassifications have no impact on the net assets or net asset value of the Fund.  
 
Other:  Investment transactions and shareholder transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Net realized gains and losses on securities are computed on the basis of specific security lot identification.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
 
Subsequent Events:  In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated subsequent events after November 30, 2010. There have been no significant subsequent events since November 30, 2010 that would require adjustment to or additional disclosure in these financial statements.
 
3.
Investment Advisory and Other Agreements
 
The Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor, with whom certain officers and Trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, compensates the Advisor for its management services at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s daily average net assets.
 
Effective October 1, 2006 through September 30, 2008, the Advisor contractually agreed to waive or reimburse the Fund if the aggregate annual operating expenses exceeded 1.70% of average net assets.  Effective October 1, 2008, the Expense Waiver Agreement is no longer in place.
 
For the six months ended November 30, 2010, the Fund had advisory expenses of $149,102 and at November 30, 2010, the Fund had $26,023 payable to the Advisor.
 
The Trust has a distribution agreement and a servicing agreement with Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”).  Fees for such distribution services are paid to the Distributor by the Advisor.
