Letter to Shareholders
 
The six-month period ended March 31, 2010 saw the yield of Government Money Market remain at the lowest levels since fund inception as the Federal Reserve Board maintained the Federal Funds Rate at a historic low of 0%-0.25%. Money market rates and the Federal Funds rate are closely linked, with the Fed rate posture reflected in the yield of money market funds.
 
 
Economic Overview
 
Investors in money markets which invest in government securities have experienced an extended period of low returns, as the Federal Reserve continued to provide as much stimulus as possible through a rock-bottom Federal Funds Rate. In many ways, this admittedly low-earning vantage point has been advantageous as we have witnessed over the past few years one of the more calamitous periods in U.S. economic history. As of period end, investors who received the 10-year return of the S&P 500, which is considered a proxy for the overall domestic stock market, actually lost money, while over the same period, investors in conservatively postured money markets showed solid gains. We realize that this may be of limited comfort to current fund investors who are patiently waiting for the interest rate environment to improve from its unusual condition; levels currently so low that the fund is unable to issue any yield
 
The economic climate over the six-month period of this report was characterized by considerable optimism fueled by positive economic news, even though these improvements typically came from deeply depressed levels. While unprecedented economic stimulus seemed to be gaining traction, this was of little comfort to those represented in the persistently high unemployment numbers, or among the increasing percentage of homeowners whose mortgages showed a larger balance than the value of their homes.
 
 
Outlook
 
Despite the persistent clouds of high unemployment and housing troubles, general business and economic trends were positive enough to spark speculation of a move in the Fed Funds Rate, a prerequisite for an increase in money market returns. One indication of a turn in policy was the increase in mid-February by the Fed of their Discount Rate, the fee charged for emergency loans to banks. This was explained by the Fed as a response to improving conditions in the credit markets and bank sector. It is our opinion that the Fed will be in no hurry to increase the Fed Funds Rate as long as unemployment is high and inflation is muted. Nevertheless, we feel that modest increases from the current rates could be accomplished without changing the underlying stimulus which low rates provide. As a result, we are keeping an eye on key economic indicators with the expectation that the Fed might begin to take rates higher as early as late 2010.
 
Sincerely,

Semi-Annual Report 4

 

Notes to Financial Statements
 
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Madison Mosaic Government Money Market (the "FundÓ) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified investment management company. The Fund invests solely in securities issued by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or in repurchase agreements backed by such securities. Because the Fund is 100% no-load, its shares are offered and redeemed at the net asset value per share.
 
Securities Valuation: Portfolio securities are valued at acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount, which approximates fair value.
 
The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") guidance on fair value measurements effective January 1, 2008.  Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. The guidance establishes 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.
 
Various inputs as noted above are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments and other financial instruments. 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.)
 
 
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. In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset/liability have significantly decreased, as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.
 
The following table represents the Fund’s investments carried on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by caption and by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2010:

At March 31, 2010 and for the six-months then ended, the Fund held no Level 3 securities. Please see the Portfolio of Investments for a listing of all securities within the U.S. Government Agency Obligations category.

In March 2008, FASB issued guidance regarding enhanced disclosures about funds’ derivative and hedging activities. Management has determined that there is no impact on the Fund’s financial statements as the Fund currently does not hold derivative financial instruments.
Semi-Annual Report 5

 
In January 2010, amended guidance was issued by FASB for fair value measurement disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation, inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amended guidance is effective for financial statements for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2009 except for disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier adoption is permitted. In the period of initial adoption, the Fund will not be required to provide the amended disclosures for any previous periods presented for comparative purposes. However, those disclosures are required for periods ending after initial adoption. The impact of this guidance on the Fund’s financial statements and disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.
 
Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. The cost of investments sold is determined on the identified cost basis for financial statement and Federal income tax purposes.
 
Investment Income: Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and original issue discount and market discount are accreted over the expected life of each applicable security using the effective interest method.
 
Distribution of Income: Net investment income, determined as gross investment income less total expenses, is declared as a dividend each business day. Dividends are distributed to shareholders or reinvested in additional shares as of the close of business at the end of each month. Distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $132,901 and $926,857, respectively. The 2009 distribution was comprised of $2,111 short-term capital gain and $130,790 of ordinary income. The 2008 distribution was all from ordinary income. The distributions were identical for book purposes and tax purposes. As of March 31, 2010, the Fund had $3 of accumulated net realized gains as the only component of distributable earnings on a tax basis.
 
Income Tax: No provision is made for Federal income taxes since it is the intention of the Fund to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code available to investment companies and to make the requisite distribution to shareholders of taxable income which will be sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all Federal income taxes.
 
The Fund adopted the provisions of FASB guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes in June 2007. The implementation resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the Fund.
 
As of and during the period ended March 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 income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
 
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. Such estimates affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
2. Investment in Repurchase Agreements. When the Fund purchases securities under agreements to resell, the securities are held in safekeeping by the Fund’s custodian bank as collateral. Should the market value of the securities purchased under such an agreement decrease below the principal amount to be received at the termination of the agreement plus accrued interest, the counterparty
 
is required to place an equivalent amount of additional securities in safe-keeping with the Fund’s custodian bank. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having Advisory and Services Agreements with the same adviser, transfers uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. The aggregate balance in this joint trading account is invested in one or more consolidated repurchase agreements whose underlying securities are U.S. Treasury or Federal agency obligations. The Fund has approximately a 2.1% interest or $386,129 in the consolidated repurchase agreement of $18,544,251 collateralized by $18,915,466 in United States Treasury Notes. Proceeds at maturity are $18,544,257.
 
3. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates. The investment advisers to the Fund, Madison Mosaic, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Madison Investment Advisors, Inc. ("Madison"), and Madison (together, the "Adviser"), earn an advisory fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the average net assets of the Fund. The fee is accrued daily and paid monthly. Since December 9, 2002, the Adviser has been voluntarily waiving 0.25% of this fee for the Fund. For the period ended March 31, 2010, the waived amount was $30,551. This waiver may end at any time.
 
The Adviser will reimburse the Fund for the amount of any expenses of the Fund (less certain expenses) that exceed 1.5% per annum of the average net assets of the Fund up to $40 million and 1% per annum of such amount in excess of $40 million. No amounts were reimbursed to the Fund by the Adviser for the period ended March 31, 2010.
 
As disclosed in Note 4 below, due to the historically low yields of the securities in which the Fund invests, the Adviser is also waiving all Fund fees and expenses in excess of the Fund’s actual yields until its yield without expenses exceeds 0.50%.
 
4. Other Expenses. Under a separate Services Agreement, the Adviser will provide or arrange for the Fund to have all other necessary operational and support services for a fee based on a percentage of average net assets, other than the expenses of the Fund’s Independent Trustees and auditor ("Independent Service Providers") which are paid directly based on cost and any costs associated with the Line of Credit described in Note 6. The Fund also pays its fees related to portfolio holdings and extraordinary or nonrecurring fees. For the period ended March 31, 2010, this services fee was 0.35%. The Fund uses U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC as its transfer agent and U.S. Bank as its custodian. The transfer agent and custodian fees are paid by the Adviser and allocated to the Fund and are included in other expenses (i.e., these fees are included in the service fee payable to the Adviser under the Services Agreement). The Fund paid $6,485 directly for Independent Service Providers fees and extraordinary expenses for the six-months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Due to the historically low yields of the securities in which the Fund invests, the Adviser has committed to waive payments for all Fund expenses in excess of the Fund’s actual yields until its yield without expenses exceeds 0.50%. For the period ended March 31, 2010, the additional waived amount was $65,366.
 
5. Capital Share Transactions. An unlimited number of capital shares, without par value, are authorized. Transactions in capital shares (in dollars) were as follows:

Example: This Example is intended to help you understand your costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. See footnotes 3 and 4 above for an explanation of the types of costs charged by the Fund.
 
This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on October 1, 2009 and held for the six-months ended March 31, 2010.
 
Actual Expenses
The table below titled "Based on Actual Total Return" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information provided in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account, divide your ending account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,500 ending account valued divided by $1,000 = 8.5), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period."

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below titled "Based on Hypothetical Total Return" provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% 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 the information provided in this table to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Senior Financial Officers

The following code of ethics is designed to address the disclosure requirements of Item 2 of Form N-CSR,1 which implements Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 concerning disclosure of a code of ethics for principal executive and senior financial officers.

I.           Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code

This code of ethics (this “Code”) for the investment companies within the complex (collectively, “Funds” and each “the Company” or “a Company”) applies to the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer (the “Covered Officers” each of whom are set forth in Exhibit A) for the purpose of promoting:
 
·  
honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
 
·  
full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company;
 
·  
compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;
 
·  
the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
 
·  
accountability for adherence to the Code.
 
Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.
 
II.           Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest


 
1Item 2 of Form N-CSR requires a registered management investment company to disclose annually whether, as of the end of the period covered by the report, it has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, regardless of whether these officers are employed by the registrant or a third party.  If the registrant has not adopted such a code of ethics, it must explain why it has not done so.  The registrant must also:  (1) file with the SEC a copy of the code as an exhibit to its annual report; (2) post the text of the code on its Internet website and disclose, in its most recent report on Form N-CSR, its Internet address and the fact that it has posted the code on its Internet website; or (3) undertake in its most recent report on Form N-CSR to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the code and explain the manner in which such request may be made.  Disclosure is also required of amendments to, or waivers (including implicit waivers) from, a provision of the code in the registrant’s annual report on Form N-CSR or on its website.  If the registrant intends to satisfy the requirement to disclose amendments and waivers by posting such information on its website, it will be required to disclose its Internet address and this intention.

Overview.  A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Company.  For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Company.

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Officers and the Company and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Investment Company Act”) and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (“Investment Advisers Act”).  For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Company because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Company.  The Company's and the investment adviser's compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions.  This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Company and the investment adviser of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees.  As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Company or for the adviser, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and the Company.  The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Company and the adviser and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Company.  Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.  In addition, it is recognized by the Funds’ Boards of Directors (“Boards”) that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by this or other codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act.  The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive.  The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Company.

*                      *                      *                      *

Each Covered Officer must:

·  
not use his personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Company whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Company;
 
·  
not cause the Company to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than the benefit the Company;
 

 
2

 

·  
not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Company to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions (recognizing that such matters are addressed in the Company’s and the Company’s investment manager’s general Code of Ethics and Rules to Prevent Insider Trading); and
 
·  
not retaliate against any other Covered Officer or any employee of the Funds or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.
 
There are some conflict of interest situations that should always be discussed with the General Counsel or other senior officer of the Company not otherwise covered by this Code if material.  Examples of these include:2

·  
service as a director on the board of any public or private company;
 
·  
the receipt of any gifts provided the value of such gifts do not exceed $100 per person per year, but not including the occasional meal, ticket to a sporting event or theater, or comparable entertainment from any company with which the Company or its affiliates has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety;
 
·  
any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Company’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof;
 
·  
a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Company for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.
 

III.           Disclosure and Compliance

·  
Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Company;
 
·  
each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Company to others, whether within or outside the Company, including to the Company’s directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self-regulatory organizations;
 
·  
each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Funds and the adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Funds; and
 


 
2           Any activity or relationship that would present a conflict for a Covered Officer would likely also present a conflict for the Covered Officer if a member of the Covered Officer’s family engages in such an activity or has such a relationship.

 
3

 

·  
it is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.
 

IV.           Reporting and Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:
 
·  
upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming a Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Board, or orally confirm such receipt in person before the Board (as reflected in the Company’s minutes) that he has received, read, and understands the Code;
 
·  
annually thereafter affirm to the Board that he has complied with the requirements of the Code; and
 
·  
notify the General Counsel promptly if he knows of any violation of this Code.  Failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code.  The General Counsel shall report any such violations to the Audit Committee of the Company.
 
The General Counsel is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation.3  However, any approvals or waivers4 sought by the any of the officers covered by this Code will be considered by the Audit Committee (the “Committee”).

The Funds will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:
 
·  
the General Counsel will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him;
 
·  
if, after such investigation, the General Counsel believes that no violation has occurred, the General Counsel is not required to take any further action;
 
·  
any matter that the General Counsel believes is a violation will be reported to the Committee;
 
·  
if the Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, it will inform and make a recommendation to the Board, which will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to end the Covered Officer’s association with the Funds;
 
·  
the Committee will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and
 
·  
any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.
 


 
3           The General Counsel is authorized to consult, as appropriate, with the Audit Committee, counsel to the Company and/or counsel to the Independent Trustees, and is encouraged to do so.
 
4           Item 2 of Form N-CSR defines “waiver” as “the approval by the registrant of a material departure from a provision of the code of ethics” and “implicit waiver,” which must also be disclosed, as “the registrant’s failure to take action within a reasonable period of time regarding a material departure from a provision of the code of ethics that has been made known to an executive officer” of the registrant.

V.           Other Policies and Procedures

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Funds for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder.  Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Funds, the Funds’ adviser, principal underwriter, or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code.  The Funds’ and their investment adviser’s and principal underwriter’s codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act and the adviser’s more detailed policies and procedures set forth in the Madison Investment Advisors, Inc./Madison Scottsdale, LC/MEMBERS Mutual Funds/Ultra Series Fund/Madison Mosaic Funds/Madison Strategic Sector Premium Fund et. al. Compliance and Procedures Manual, including the Code of Ethics applicable to all employees and Policies and Procedures to Prevent Insider Trading, are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others, and are not part of this Code.

VI.           Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Board, including a majority of independent trustees.

VII.           Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly.  Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the appropriate Company, its adviser and the Committee.

VIII.           Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Funds and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Company, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.

Adopted by the Mosaic Board on July 23, 2003 and the Madison Strategic Sector Premium Fund Board on March 2, 2005 and the MEMBERS Mutual Funds and Ultra Series Fund Boards on August 27, 2009 to be effective July 1, 2009.
