This report has been prepared for shareholders and may be distributed to others only if preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.
 
Cautionary Note on Analyses, Opinions and Outlooks:  In this report we offer analyses and opinions on the performance of individual securities, companies, industries, sectors, markets, interest rates and governmental policies, including predictions, forecasts and outlooks regarding possible future events.  These can generally be identified as such because the context of the statements may include such words as “believe,” “should,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “hopes” and words of similar effect.  These statements reflect the portfolio managers’ good faith beliefs and judgments and involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk that the portfolio managers’ analyses, opinions and outlooks are or will prove to be inaccurate.  It is inherently difficult to correctly assess and explain the performance of particular securities, sectors, markets, interest rate movements, governmental actions or general economic trends and conditions, and many unforeseen factors contribute to the performance of Baird Funds.  Investors are, therefore, cautioned not to place undue reliance on subjective judgments contained in this report.

The Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt, including government and corporate securities, with maturities between one and ten years.  This index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.  A direct investment in an index is not possible.
 
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares.  The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com.  Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year.  This index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.  A direct investment in an index is not possible.
 
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares.  The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com.  Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

June 30, 2007

The Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund seeks current income that is substantially exempt from federal income tax.  A secondary objective is to provide total return with relatively low volatility of principal.  The Fund strives to achieve an annual rate of return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of the total return of the Lehman Brothers 7-Year General Obligation Bond Index.  The Lehman Brothers 7-Year General Obligation Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index consisting of investment grade state and local general obligation bonds that have been issued as part of an offering of at least $50 million; have a minimum amount outstanding of at least $5 million; have been issued within the last five years; and have a maturity of six to eight years.

The Lehman Brothers 7-Year General Obligation Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index comprised of investment grade state and local general obligation bonds that have been issued as part of an offering of at least $50 million, have a minimum amount outstanding of at least $5 million, have been issued within the last five years and have a maturity of six to eight years.  This index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.  A direct investment in an index is not possible.
 
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares.  The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com.  Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

The Lehman Brothers U.S. Universal Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of fixed income securities issued in U.S. dollars, including U.S. government and investment grade debt, non-investment grade debt, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, Eurobonds, 144A securities and emerging market debt, with maturities of at least one year.  This index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.  A direct investment in an index is not possible.
 
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares.  The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com.  Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

The Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt, including government and corporate securities, with maturities between one and three years.  This index does not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.  A direct investment in an index is not possible.
 
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares.  Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Investment returns and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com.  Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

Additional Information on Fund Expenses       June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Example
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, such as management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses.  Although the Funds do not charge any sales loads, redemption fees, or other 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 Funds’ transfer agent.  If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently the Funds’ transfer agent charges a $15.00 fee.
 
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each 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 (1/1/07 – 6/30/07).
 
Actual Expenses
The third and fourth columns of the following table provide information about account values based on actual returns and actual expenses.  You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the fourth column entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The fifth and sixth columns of the following table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.  Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs.  Therefore, the sixth column of the table (entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period”) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs could have been higher.

ORGANIZATION
 
Baird Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated on June 9, 2000 as a Wisconsin corporation and is registered as an open-end investment management company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  The accompanying financial statements include the Baird Intermediate Bond Fund, Baird Aggregate Bond Fund, Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Baird Core Plus Bond Fund and Baird Short-Term Bond Fund (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), five of the eight portfolios comprising the Corporation, each of which is diversified within the meaning of the 1940 Act.  Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird” or the “Advisor”) serves as investment advisor to the Funds.
 
The Baird Intermediate Bond Fund, Baird Aggregate Bond Fund and Baird Core Plus Bond Fund commenced operations with the sale of both Institutional and Investor class shares on September 29, 2000.  The Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund commenced operations with the sale of both Institutional and Investor Class shares on March 30, 2001.  The Baird Short-Term Bond Fund commenced operations with the sale of Institutional Class shares on August 31, 2004.  The Institutional Class shares are not subject to a distribution and service (12b-1) fee, while the Investor Class shares are subject to a distribution and service (12b-1) fee up to 0.25%.
 
The investment objective of the Baird Intermediate Bond Fund is to provide an annual rate of total return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of total return of the Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index.  The Lehman Brothers Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt, including government and corporate securities, with maturities between one and ten years.
 
The investment objective of the Baird Aggregate Bond Fund is to provide an annual rate of total return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of total return of the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index.  The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt, including government, corporate, asset-backed, and mortgage-backed securities, with maturities of at least one year.
 
The primary investment objective of the Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund is to provide current income that is substantially exempt from federal income tax.  A secondary objective is to provide total return with relatively low volatility of principal.
 
The investment objective of the Baird Core Plus Bond Fund is to provide an annual rate of total return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of total return of the Lehman Brothers U.S. Universal Bond Index. The Lehman Brothers U.S. Universal Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of fixed income securities issued in U.S. dollars, including U.S. government and investment grade debt, non-investment grade debt, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, Eurobonds, 144A securities and emerging market debt, with maturities of at least one year.
 
The investment objective of the Baird Short-Term Bond Fund is to provide an annual rate of total return, before Fund expenses, greater than the annual rate of total return of the Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index.  The Lehman Brothers 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged, market value weighted index of investment grade, fixed-rate debt, including government and corporate securities, with maturities between one and three years.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.  These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
a)
Investment Valuation– Because market quotations for most debt securities are not readily available, debt securities are stated at fair value as furnished by an independent pricing service, which uses valuation methods such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models, as well as market transactions and dealer quotations.  Debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at acquisition cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium.  Investments in mutual funds are valued at their stated net asset value.  Common stocks that are listed on a securities exchange (other than NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sales price.  Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Price information on listed stocks is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded.  Securities that were not traded on the valuation date, as well as stocks that are not listed on an exchange, including NASDAQ, are valued at the average of the current bid and asked price.  Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor in accordance with procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.  In accordance with such procedures, the Advisor may use broker quotes or, if the broker quotes are unavailable or deemed to be unreliable, fair value will be determined by a valuation committee of the Advisor.  In certain limited instances, the Advisor may also determine the fair value of a debt security for up to two trading days using a constant spread methodology authorized by the Board.  In determining fair value, the valuation committee takes into account all relevant factors and available information.  Consequently, the price of the security used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security.  Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and there is no single standard for determining a security’s fair value.  As a result, different mutual funds could reasonably arrive at a different fair value for the same security.  It is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security or from the values that other mutual funds may determine.
   
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  Management has determined that SFAS No. 157 will have no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
   
b)
Unregistered Securities– Four of the Funds own certain investment securities which are unregistered and thus restricted with respect to resale.  These securities consist of securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, which are deemed to be liquid based on several factors.  The value of such securities for the Baird Intermediate Bond, Baird Aggregate Bond, Baird Core Plus Bond and Baird Short-Term Bond Funds were $15,767,926 (4.86% of net assets), $19,603,917 (3.87% of net assets), $2,143,297 (3.60% of net assets) and $7,024,530 (4.17% of net assets), respectively, at June 30, 2007.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
 
c)
Foreign Securities– The Funds may invest in U.S. dollar-denominated debt obligations of foreign companies and foreign governments. Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government.  These risks include currency rate fluctuations, political and economic instability and differences in financial reporting standards and less strict regulation of securities markets.  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. Occasionally, events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur after the close of the exchange on which such securities are traded.  If such events materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.
   
d)
Federal Income Taxes– The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies as provided in subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds.  Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
   
 
Effective June 29, 2007, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” a clarification of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  Management has determined that FIN 48 had no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
   
e)
Allocation of Income and Expenses– Each Fund is charged for those expenses directly attributable to it.  Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, such as Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, are charged to that class of shares.  Income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based on their respective net assets.  Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated among the Funds in the series in proportion to their assets.
   
f)
Distributions to Shareholders– Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid monthly.  Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.
   
g)
Use of Estimates– The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
h)
Other– Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date.  The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.  Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  Premiums and discounts on the purchase of securities are amortized/accreted using the effective interest

method.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified in the capital accounts.
   
i)
Guarantees and Indemnifications– In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses.  The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and would involve future claims against the Funds that have not yet occurred.  Based on experience, the Funds would expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Under the current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Baird Intermediate Bond, Baird Aggregate Bond, Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond, Baird Core Plus Bond and Baird Short-Term Bond Funds elected to defer capital losses occurring between November 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006 in the amount of $6,343, $73,662, $94,149, $72,252 and $40,321, respectively.

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS (cont.)
 
The Funds have entered into an Administration Agreement with Baird.  Under the Administration Agreement, the Advisor assumes and pays all expenses of the applicable Fund other than the investment advisory fees, borrowing costs, commissions and other costs directly related to portfolio securities transactions, extraordinary or non-recurring expenses and fees under the 12b-1 plan.  Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.05% for each of the Baird Intermediate Bond, Baird Aggregate Bond, Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond, Baird Core Plus Bond and Baird Short-Term Bond Funds as applied to the respective Fund’s average daily net assets.
 
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC serves as transfer agent, administrator, and accounting services agent for the Funds.  U.S. Bank, N.A. serves as custodian for the Funds.
 
Baird is the distributor of the Funds pursuant to a distribution agreement.
 
6.
SECURITIES LENDING
 
Each Fund may lend up to one-third of its total assets (including such loans) to borrowers under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, an affiliate of the Funds’ custodian, transfer agent and administrator.  The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the market value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest.
 
The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral.  The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security, length of the loan and credit standing of the borrower.  Each Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period.  Each Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Baird Intermediate Bond, Baird Aggregate Bond, Baird Core Plus Bond and Baird Short-Term Bond Funds had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash equivalents.  The cash collateral is invested by the custodian with the approval of the Advisor.  Although the cash collateral is generally invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending.  A Fund could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although this risk is mitigated by the collateral and by contract with the securities lending agent.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the market value of the securities on loan and payable on collateral due to broker were as follows:

Notes to the Financial Statements       June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
 
7.
LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Corporation maintains an uncommitted, senior secured line of credit (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank, N.A. to provide the Funds a temporary liquidity source to meet unanticipated redemptions.  Under the terms of the LOC, borrowings for each Fund are limited to one-third of the total assets (including the amount borrowed) of the respective Fund, or as otherwise indicated within the Funds’ agreement with the Bank.  The Bank charges interest at the Bank’s Prime Rate less 1%.  During the period January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007, the Baird Bond Funds did not draw upon the line of credit.
 
8.
DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICE PLAN
 
The Funds have adopted a distribution and shareholder service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.  The Plan allows the Funds to compensate Baird for the costs incurred in distributing the Funds’ Investor Class shares, including amounts paid to brokers or dealers, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Investor Class shares.  The Baird Intermediate Bond, Baird Aggregate Bond, Baird Intermediate Municipal Bond and Baird Core Plus Bond Funds incurred $1,565, $2,990, $578 and $476, respectively, in fees pursuant to the Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

Additional Information

Proxy Voting
 
A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling toll free, 1-866-44BAIRD, or by accessing the Funds’ website at www.bairdfunds.com; and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
 
Each Fund’s proxy voting record for the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, if applicable, is available without charge, upon request, by calling toll free, 1-866-44BAIRD, or by accessing the Funds’ website at www.bairdfunds.com; and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.  The Funds generally do not vote proxies because the securities held in their portfolios, consisting of bonds and other fixed-income securities, are not entitled to vote.
 

 
Portfolio Holdings Disclosure
 
The Funds file a complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q.  The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov and may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C.  Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-732-0330.  The Funds’ Forms N-Q may also be obtained by calling toll-free 1-866-44BAIRD.

This report has been prepared for shareholders and may be distributed to others only if preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.
 
Cautionary Note on Analyses, Opinions and Outlooks:  In this report we offer analyses and opinions on the performance of individual securities, companies, industries, sectors, markets, interest rates and governmental policies, including predictions, forecasts and outlooks regarding possible future events.  These can generally be identified as such because the context of the statements may include such words as “believe,” “should,” “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “hopes” and words of similar effect.  These statements reflect the portfolio managers’ good faith beliefs and judgments and involve risks and uncertainties, including the risk that the portfolio managers’ analyses, opinions and outlooks are or will prove to be inaccurate.  It is inherently difficult to correctly assess and explain the performance of particular securities, sectors, markets, interest rate movements, governmental actions or general economic trends and conditions, and many unforeseen factors contribute to the performance of Baird Funds.  Investors are, therefore, cautioned not to place undue reliance on subjective judgments contained in this report.

The Russell 1000® Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000® companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth rates.  The Russell 1000® Index consists of the 1,000 largest companies in the Russell 3000® Index, which represents approximately 90% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 3000® Index, which in turn is comprised of the 3,000 largest U.S. domiciled publicly traded common stocks by market capitalization.  These indices do not reflect any deduction for fees, expenses or taxes.  A direct investment in an index is not possible.
 
The returns shown in the table above reflect reinvestment of dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional shares.  The returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results.  Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
 
For information about the performance of the Fund as of the most recent month-end, please call 1-866-44BAIRD or visit www.bairdfunds.com.  Mutual fund performance changes over time and current performance may be lower or higher than that stated.

Baird Funds, Inc.


Additional Information on Fund Expenses      June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

Example
As a shareholder of a mutual fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, reinvested dividends, or other distributions; redemption fees; and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, such as management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other fund expenses.  Although the Funds do not charge any sales loads, redemption fees, or other 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 Funds’ transfer agent.  If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently the Funds’ transfer agent charges a $15.00 fee.
 
This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each 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 (1/1/07 – 6/30/07).
 
Actual Expenses
The third and fourth columns of the following table provide information about account values based on actual returns and actual expenses.  You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the fourth column entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The fifth and sixth columns of the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.  Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs.  Therefore, the sixth column of the table (entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period”) is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs could have been higher.

Notes to the Financial Statements       June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)

1.
ORGANIZATION
 
Baird Funds, Inc. (the “Corporation”) was incorporated on June 9, 2000 as a Wisconsin corporation and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).  The accompanying financial statements include the Baird LargeCap Fund, the Baird MidCap Fund and the Baird SmallCap Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), three of the eight portfolios comprising the Corporation.  Pursuant to the 1940 Act, the Funds are “diversified” series of the Corporation.  The investment advisor to the Funds is Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (“Baird” or the “Advisor”).
 
The Baird LargeCap Fund commenced operations with the sale of both Institutional and Investor Class Shares on September 29, 2000. The Baird MidCap Fund commenced operations with the sale of both Institutional and Investor Class Shares on December 29, 2000. The Baird SmallCap Fund commenced operations with the sale of both Institutional and Investor Class Shares on June 30, 2004. The Institutional Class Shares are not subject to a distribution and service (12b-1) fee, while the Investor Class Shares are subject to a distribution and service (12b-1) fee up to 0.25%.
 
The Baird LargeCap Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in equity securities of large-capitalization companies.  Dividend income is a secondary consideration.
 
The Baird MidCap Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in equity securities of mid-capitalization companies.
 
The Baird SmallCap Fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments in equity securities of small-capitalization companies.
 
On June 30, 2007, one shareholder related to the Advisor held 46% of the Baird LargeCap Fund and 37% of the Baird SmallCap Fund.
 
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.  These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
a)
Investment Valuation– Common stocks that are listed on a securities exchange (other than NASDAQ) are valued at the last quoted sales price.  Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Price information on listed stocks is taken from the exchange where the security is primarily traded.  Securities that were not traded on the valuation date, as well as stocks that are not listed on an exchange, including NASDAQ, are valued at the average of the current bid and asked price.  Because market quotations for most debt securities are not readily available, debt securities are stated at fair value as furnished by an independent pricing service, which uses valuation methods such as matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models, as well as  market transactions and dealer quotations.  Debt securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at acquisition cost plus or minus any amortized discount or premium.  Investments in mutual funds are valued at their stated net asset value.

Notes to the Financial Statements       June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
 
2.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
 
 
Other assets and securities for which no quotations are readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor in accordance with procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.  In accordance with such procedures, the Advisor may use broker quotes or, if the broker quotes are unavailable or deemed to be unreliable, fair value will be determined by a valuation committee of the Advisor.  In determining fair value, the valuation committee takes into account all relevant factors and available information.  Consequently, the price of the security used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security.  Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and there is no single standard for determining a security’s fair value.  As a result, different mutual funds could reasonably arrive at a different fair value for the same security.  It is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security or from the values that other mutual funds may determine.
   
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  Management has determined that SFAS No. 157 will have no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
   
b)
Foreign Securities– Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations 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.  Occasionally, events that affect those values and exchange rates may occur after the close of the exchange on which such securities are traded.  If such events materially affect the value of a Fund’s securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Directors.
   
c)
Federal Income Taxes– The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies as provided in subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Funds.  Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is recorded.
   
 
Effective June 29, 2007, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48),“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” a clarification of FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Management has determined that FIN 48 had no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
   
d)
Distributions to Shareholders– Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid annually.  Distributions of net realized gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually.

2.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
 
e)
Allocation of Income and Expenses– Each Fund is charged for those expenses directly attributable to it.  Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares, such as Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, are charged to that class of shares.  Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based on their respective net assets.  Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated among the Funds in the series in proportion to their assets.
   
f)
Use of Estimates– The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
g)
Other– Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date.  The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.  Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States require that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified in the capital accounts.
   
h)
Guarantees and Indemnifications– In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses.  The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown and this would involve future claims against the Funds that have not yet occurred.  Based on experience, the Funds would expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Undistributed income or net realized gains for financial statement purposes may differ from amounts recognized for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition and characterization of income, expense and capital gain items.
 
Under the current tax law, capital losses realized after October 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year.  For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Baird SmallCap Fund elected to defer capital losses occurring between November 1, 2006 and December 31, 2006 in the amount of $71,754.
 
At December 31, 2006, the Baird LargeCap Fund had accumulated net realized capital loss carryovers of $1,167,011 that expire in 2012 and $1,534,473 that expire in 2011.  To the extent the Funds realize future net capital gains, taxable distributions to shareholders will be offset by any unused capital loss carryovers.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Baird LargeCap Fund utilized $3,842,197 in capital loss carryovers from previous years.  During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Baird SmallCap Fund utilized $545,967 in capital loss carryovers from previous years.
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Funds have not made any capital gain distributions or income dividends.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Funds paid the following dividends:

INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
 
The Funds have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Baird for the provision of investment advisory services. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Advisor is entitled to receive a fee, calculated daily and payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.65% for the Baird LargeCap Fund, 0.75% for the Baird MidCap Fund and 0.85% for the Baird SmallCap Fund as applied to the respective Fund’s average daily net assets.  Certain officers of the Advisor are also officers of the Funds.
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and through April 30, 2008, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its investment advisory fee and/or reimburse the Funds’ operating expenses (exclusive of brokerage, taxes, and extraordinary expenses) to the extent necessary to ensure that each Fund’s annual operating expenses do not exceed the following percentages of average daily net assets:
 
 
Institutional Class Shares
Investor Class Shares
Baird LargeCap Fund
0.75%
1.00%
Baird MidCap Fund
0.85%
1.10%
Baird SmallCap Fund
0.95%
1.20%
 
To the extent that the Advisor reimburses or absorbs fees and expenses, it may seek payment of such amounts for three years after the year in which expenses were reimbursed or absorbed.  A Fund will make no such payment, however, if its total annual operating expenses exceed the expense limits in effect at the time the expenses were reimbursed or at the time these payments are proposed.

SECURITIES LENDING
 
Each Fund may lend up to one-third of its total assets (including such loans) to borrowers under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by U.S. Bancorp Asset Management, an affiliate of the Funds’ custodian, transfer agent and administrator.  The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the market value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest.
 
The Funds receive compensation in the form of fees and earn interest on the cash collateral.  The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security, length of the loan and credit standing of the borrower.  Each Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period.  Each Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the Baird LargeCap, Baird MidCap and Baird SmallCap Funds had loaned securities that were collateralized by cash equivalents.  The cash collateral is invested by the custodian with the approval of the Advisor.  Although the cash collateral is generally invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending.  A Fund could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although this risk is mitigated by the collateral and by contract with the securities lending agent.
 
As of June 30, 2007, the market value of the securities on loan and payable on collateral due to broker were as follows:

Payable on Collateral

LINE OF CREDIT
 
The Corporation maintains an uncommitted, senior secured line of credit (“LOC”) with U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Bank”) to provide the Funds a temporary liquidity source to meet unanticipated redemptions.  Under the terms of the LOC, borrowings for each Fund are limited to one-third of the total assets (including the amount borrowed) of the respective Fund, or as otherwise indicated within the Funds’ agreement with the Bank.  The Bank charges interest at the Bank’s Prime Rate less 1% (weighted average rate of 7.25% for the first six months of 2007).  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Baird LargeCap Fund, Baird MidCap Fund and Baird SmallCap Fund incurred $954, $155, and $226 in interest charges, respectively, on average daily loan balances of $26,182, $1,961 and $6,215, respectively.
 
8.
DISTRIBUTION AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICE PLAN
 
The Funds have adopted a distribution and shareholder service plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.  The Plan allows the Funds to compensate the Distributor for the costs incurred in distributing the Funds’ Investor Class Shares, including amounts paid to brokers or dealers, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Investor Class Shares.  The Baird LargeCap Fund, Baird MidCap Fund and Baird SmallCap Fund incurred $1,316, $5,672 and $5,978, respectively, in fees pursuant to the Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
