Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Review

Depending on where you were invested, the bond market of 2008 was the best or worst of times. Riskier bonds were hammered in the wake of a broad credit crunch, while a flight to safety lifted the returns of U.S. Treasury securities. As the year progressed, the problems that began in the subprime mortgage area bloomed into a full fledged credit crisis. The credit crisis sent unexpected shock waves into virtually all areas of the global economy, sparking a worldwide economic slowdown and eventually into global recession. As credit froze, highly leveraged investment firms began to spiral downward and many financial firms that are household names found themselves on the brink—or over the brink—of insolvency. Meanwhile, many investment vehicles with plain vanilla names like “core bond” or “short term bond” ended the year with large losses due to investments in toxic bonds or through investments in firms whose fates where linked with the securitized market.

Countering the crisis in the financial sector was a series of significant, even historically unprecedented, federal interventions. Beginning in January the Federal Reserve made the first of a series of rate cuts, which by the December cut lowered the target federal funds rate to a range of 0% to 0.25%, the lowest in modern history. In addition to rate cuts, the Federal government injected massive stimulus into the financial system in order to provide a solid base from which to repair balance sheets and normalize credit markets. These federal interventions were headlines throughout the year, including: the bailout of Bear Stearns; what amounted to a federal acquisition of mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; and the Congressional creation of the $700 billion TARP program. An additional large stimulus package is expected under the new presidential administration.

At the same time, high-quality bonds, particularly those issued by the U.S. government, reaped the rewards as investors fled to the safest instruments available. Not only did Treasury securities have strong real returns, they looked tremendous compared to the losses that pummeled stock investors. The S&P 500 was down -37.0% for the year, while the major international market indices dropped more than -40% as well.

Within the bond market, there was a disparity in returns unlike any year in memory. For instance, the Barclays Capital indices (formerly Lehman Brothers indices) showed a gap from a 13.7% annual return for Treasury securities to -26.2% for high-yield bonds. Within corporate bonds, returns varied from 8.1% for AAA rated bonds to - -26.5% for bonds rated B and -44.3% for bonds rated one step lower at CAA. Many bond mutual funds stumbled as well, as the Lipper Indices showed average annual returns of - -4.7% for Intermediate Investment Grade Funds, -4.1% for Inflation Protected Treasury Bond Funds, -4.6% for Short Investment Grade Funds, and -2.3% for Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds.

Outlook

As we enter 2009, the U.S. economy, and most of the world, is mired in a severe recession. It is increasingly difficult to find reason for optimism in upcoming economic data. U.S. consumer confidence has fallen to generational lows. Manufacturers are paring back production and employment in anticipation of a prolonged recession. Unemployment rates are rising, and likely to rise further. Credit remains tight and is only available to the most worthy of borrowers.

The process of de-leveraging, begun in 2007, will likely continue well into 2009. The financial sector de-leveraging, while well-advanced, has more room to run. Private sector corporate de-leveraging will

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)

likely be a less troublesome issue, as non-financial corporate balance sheets remain in good shape. The process of consumer de-leveraging, we fear, is still in its early stages, and should only be magnified as the unemployment rate rises and the recession deepens.

There are bright spots, however. The monetary and fiscal stimulus brought to bear so far is staggering, and should eventually have its intended effect. Estimates of U.S. Government infusions into the banking industry alone are in the $1-$2 trillion range. And the $100 decline in the price of a barrel of crude could put up to $260 billion back into consumers’ pockets—a large stimulus in and of itself. After a gloomy first half, we expect the economy to begin to show modest signs of life in the second half of 2009.

Fund Overview

MOSAIC GOVERNMENT FUND

Mosaic Government Fund had an 8.17% return for the annual period ended December 31, 2008. This return was slightly ahead of its peers, as the Lipper Intermediate U.S. Government Fund Index rose 8.14%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield at period end was 1.34%, with an effective duration of 2.56 years. The Fund benefited from its duration positioning, as the yield curve steepened over the year, giving an advantage to the bonds in the intermediate sector. On the other hand, Treasury bonds outperformed all other sectors of the bond market, and our weighting in Government Agency bonds was a relative drag on performance. In the end, these two factors were in general balance, allowing us to perform in line with our peer group.

At year end, Mosaic Government held 39.3% in U.S. Treasury Notes, 42.9% in government agency notes, with the remainder in agency-backed mortgage securities and short-term notes. The Fund’s largest positions during this twelve-month period were short to intermediate duration bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (continued)

MOSAIC CORE BOND FUND

Mosaic Core Bond Fund (formerly Intermediate Income) rose 6.80% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2008. Over the same period, the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Index fell -4.71%. This performance gap was largely a quality and active management story, as the Fund’s preference for high-quality bonds and avoidance of problem issues made a dramatic difference. The gap in returns between Core Bond and its peers – more than 11% for the year—indicates just how important security selection was in 2008. While we believe many other fund managers may have chased yield and bought bonds which were backed by suspect mortgages, we avoided these issues due to concerns over the state of the housing market, even though many sported top ratings from third party raters. While Core Bond does own agency mortgages, these are conventional, conforming mortgages. It does not have, or has never had, direct exposure to low-quality bonds containing subprime loans. Another positive factor in performance was the timing of a number of trades which took advantage of some of the major interest rate moves in a year characterized by exceptional volatility.

At period end, the Fund’s duration was 3.20 years, while its 30-day SEC yield was 4.36%. The duration of the Fund fell during the period, from a start point of 4.01 years, as we continue to pursue what we feel are conservative, sound management decisions which can produce strong returns without undue risk.

The Fund began the period with 27.0% invested in corporate bonds. Over the course of the year this was increased to 30.3%. At period end, the Fund had 20.2% of its assets in government and government agency bonds, and 38.6% in higher quality agency mortgage-backed securities.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Madison Mosaic Income Trust

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments of the Madison Mosaic Income Trust (the “Trust”), including the Government Fund and Core Bond Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2008 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008 by correspondence with the Funds’ custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds constituting the Trust as of December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Madison Mosaic Income Trust

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Madison Mosaic Income Trust (the “Trust”) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified investment management company. This report contains information about two separate funds (the “Funds”) each of whose objective is to receive and distribute bond income. The Government Fund invests in securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies. The Core Bond Fund invests in investment grade corporate, government and government agency fixed income securities. The Core Bond Fund may also invest a portion of its assets in securities rated as low as “B” by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation. Two additional Trust portfolios present their financial information in a separate report.

Securities Valuation: Repurchase agreements and other securities having maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities having longer maturities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the mean between their closing bid and ask prices. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157) effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds 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. FAS 157 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets as of December 31, 2008:

	Investments in Securities
Valuation Inputs	Government Fund	Core Bond Fund
Level 1: Quoted prices	$--	$--
Level 2: Other significant observable inputs	$5,031,844	$5,061,358
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs	--	--
Total	$5,031,844	$5,061,358

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. Other income is accrued as earned.

Distribution of Income and Gains: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income, determined as gross investment income less total expenses, is declared as a regular dividend and distributed to shareholders monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually at year-end.

The tax character of distributions paid during 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

14 Annual Report • December 31, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

	2008	2007
Government Fund:
Distributions paid from ordinary income	$110,824	$98,925
Core Bond Fund:
Distributions paid from ordinary income	$190,251	$183,286

As of December 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Government Fund:
Accumulated net realized losses	$(15,405)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments	203,165
	$187,760
Core Bond Fund:
Accumulated net realized losses	$(299,076)
Net unrealized appreciation on investments	161,956
	$(137,120)

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and tax reporting purposes as a result of loss deferrals related to wash sales and post-October transactions.

Income Tax: No provision is made for federal income taxes since it is the intention of the Trust to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M 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 Funds adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the funds.

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

As of December 31, 2008, the Funds had available for federal income tax purposes the following unused capital loss carryovers:

Expiration Date	Government Fund	Core Bond Fund
December 31, 2009	--	12,901
December 31, 2010	--	243,364
December 31, 2013	--	20,428
December 31, 2014	15,301	22,383
December 31, 2015	104	--

Due to inherent differences in the recognition of income, expenses, and realized gains/losses under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and federal income tax purposes, permanent differences between book and tax basis reporting for the 2008 fiscal year have been identified and appropriately reclassified. In the Core Bond Fund, permanent differences relating to the expiration of capital loss carryovers totaling $59,592 was reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to net paid in capital on shares of beneficial interest.

Use of Estimates: The preparation of the 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. Investments in Repurchase Agreements. When the Trust purchases securities under agreements to resell, the securities are held for safekeeping by the Trust’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 safekeeping with the Trust’s custodian bank. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trust, along with other registered investment companies having Advisory and Services Agreements with the same advisor, 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. As of December 31, 2008, the Government Fund had a 5.0% interest and the Core Bond Fund had a 6.1% interest in the consolidated repurchase agreement of $7,263,519 collateralized by $7,409,165 in Freddie Mac Mortgaged Backed Security Notes. Proceeds at maturity were $7,263,523.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates. The investment advisor to the Trust, Madison Mosaic, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Madison Investment Advisors, Inc. (collectively “the Advisor”), earned an advisory fee equal to 0.625% per annum of the average net assets of the Funds through April 30, 2008. Effective May 1, 2008, this fee was reduced to 0.40% for the Funds. The fees are accrued daily and are paid monthly.

4. Investment Transactions. Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the year ended December 31, 2008 were as follows:

	Purchases	Sales
Government Fund:
U.S. Gov’t securities	$3,827,607	$2,235,090
Other	--	--
Core Bond Fund:
U.S. Gov’t securities	$1,244,171	$1,522,395
Other	400,845	--

5. Other Expenses. Under a separate Services Agreement, the Advisor will provide or arrange for each Fund to have all other necessary operational and support services for a fee based on a percentage of average net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. This percentage was 0.365% for both the Government Fund and the Core Bond Fund, respectively through April 30, 2008. Effective May 1, 2008, this fee was reduced to 0.28% for the Government Fund and 0.30% for the Core Bond Fund, respectively. The direct expenses paid by the Funds and referenced below come out of this fee.

The Funds pay the expenses of the Funds’ Independent Trustees and auditors directly. For the year ended December 31, 2008, these fees amounted to $1,000 and $3,500, respectively for the Government Fund and $1,000 and $4,500, respectively for the Core Bond Fund.

6. Aggregate Cost and Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation). The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes and the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are stated as follows as of December 31, 2008:

16 Annual Report • December 31, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

Each Fund paid $250 for the year to maintain its line of credit. During the year ended December 31, 2008, neither Fund borrowed on their respective lines of credit.

9. Accounting Pronouncements. On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

Fund Expenses (unaudited)

Example: As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including Investment advisory fees and Other expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. See Notes 3 and 5 above for an explanation of the types of costs charged by the Funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on July 1, 2008 and held for the six-months ended December 31, 2008.

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.”

Based on Actual Total Return1
	Beginning Account Value	Ending Account Value	Annualized Expense Ratio	Expenses Paid During the Period2
Government Fund	$1,000.00	$1,061.95	0.78%	$4.00
Core Bond Fund	$1,000.00	$1,052.98	0.80%	$4.07
1For the six-months ended December 31, 2008. 2Expenses are equal to the Funds’ annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 366.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The table on the next page 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 neither 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 either Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 5.00% hypothetical example relating to the applicable Fund with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Madison Mosaic Income Trust 17

Based on Hypothetical Total Return1
	Beginning Account Value	Ending Account Value	Annualized Expense Ratio	Expenses Paid During the Period2
Government Fund	$1,000.00	$1,025.40	0.78%	$3.96
Core Bond Fund	$1,000.00	$1,025.40	0.80%	$4.09
1For the six-months ended December 31, 2008.
2Expenses are equal to the Funds’ annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 366.

Discussion of Contract Renewal (Unaudited)

The Trustees considered a number of factors when the Board most recently approved the advisory contract between the Advisor and the Trust in July 2008. Rather than providing you with a list of factors or conclusory statements that explained the Board’s decisionmaking process, the following discussion is designed to describe what you would have seen and heard if you had been at the Trust’s Board meeting when it most recently approved the advisory contract:

With regard to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, the Board reviewed the biographies and tenure of the personnel involved in fund management. They recognized the wide array of investment professionals employed by the firm. The officers of the investment advisor discussed the firm’s ongoing investment philosophies and strategies intended to provide superior performance consistent with each funds’ investment objectives under various market scenarios. The Trustees also noted their familiarity with the Advisor due to the Advisor’s history of providing advisory services to the Madison Mosaic family.

The Board also discussed the quality of services provided by the transfer agent, US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC. The Advisor reported that the transfer agent has routinely ranked at or near the top in customer service surveys for third party transfer agents. The Independent Trustees noted that they had just completed a satisfactory on-site review of the transfer agent’s facilities and operations, including its main operations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and its emergency recovery center located in West Allis, Wisconsin.

With regard to the investment performance of each fund and the investment Advisor, the Board reviewed current performance information. They discussed the reasons for both outperformance and underperformance compared with peer groups and applicable indices. With regard to Madison Mosaic Income Trust fund performance, the Advisor explained its active bond management style and its goal of protecting shareholders during periods of rising interest rates. The Advisor explained that, in the long-term, it believes this philosophy is in the best interest of fixed-income fund shareholders and is in accordance with applicable prospectus disclosures of investment objectives and policies for the Trust’s funds. The Advisor reported to the Board that these funds were performing in accordance with their stated investment objectives and policies.

The Board engaged in a comprehensive discussion of fund performance and market conditions.

The officers of the Advisor also discussed the Advisor’s methodology for arriving at the peer groups and indices used for performance comparisons. The Board reviewed both short-term and long-term standardized performance, i.e. one, five and ten year (or since inception) average annual total returns for each fund and comparable funds, as well as standardized yields for fixed income funds.

With regard to the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the investment Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with each Mosaic fund, the Board reviewed the expense ratios for each Madison Mosaic fund compared with funds with similar investment objectives and of similar size. The Board reviewed such comparisons based on a variety of peer group comparisons from data extracted from industry databases including comparison to funds with similar investment objectives based on their broad asset category and total asset size, as well as from data provided directly by funds that most resembled each portfolio’s asset size and investment objective for the last year. The Advisor discussed the objective manner by which Madison Mosaic fees were compared to fees in the industry.

As in past years, the Trustees recognized that each Madison Mosaic fund’s fee structure should be reviewed based on total fund expense ratio rather than simply comparing advisory fees to other advisory fees in light of the simple expense structure (i.e. a single advisory and a single services fee, with only the fixed fees of the Independent Trustees and auditors paid separately). As such, the Board focused its attention on the total expense ratios paid by other funds of similar size and category when considering the individual components of the expense ratios. The Board also recognized that investors are often required to pay distribution fees (loads) over and above the amounts identified in the expense ratio

comparison reviewed by the Board, whereas no such fees are paid by Madison Mosaic shareholders.

The Trustees sought to ensure that fees were adequate so that the Advisor did not neglect its management responsibilities for the Trusts in favor of more “profitable” accounts. At the same time, the Trustees sought to ensure that compensation paid to the Advisor was not unreasonably high. The Board reviewed materials demonstrating that although the Advisor is compensated for a variety of the administrative services it provides or arranges to provide pursuant to its Services Agreements, such compensation generally does not cover all costs due to the relatively small size of the funds in the Madison Mosaic family. Administrative, operational, regulatory and compliance fees and costs in excess of the Services Agreement fees are paid by the Advisor from its investment advisory fees earned. For these reasons, the Trustees recognized that examination of total expense ratios compared to those of other investment companies was more meaningful than a simple comparison of basic “investment management only” fee schedules.

In reviewing costs and profits, the Trustees recognized that Madison Mosaic Funds are to a certain extent “subsidized” by the greater Madison Investment Advisors, Inc. organization because the salaries of all portfolio management personnel, trading desk personnel, corporate accounting personnel and employees of the Advisor who served as officers of the funds, as well as facility costs (rent), could not be supported by fees received from the funds alone. However, although Madison Mosaic represents only a few hundred million dollars of assets out of the multiple billions of assets managed by the Madison Investment Advisors, Inc. organization in Wisconsin at the time of the meeting, the Madison Mosaic family is profitable to the Advisor at the margin because such salaries and fixed costs are proportionately paid from revenue generated by management of the remaining assets. The Trustees reviewed a profitability analysis of the funds and recognized that, as explained above, full salaries of all portfolio managers had not been factored into the analyses. As a result, although the fees paid by each respective Madison Mosaic fund at its present size might not be sufficient to profitably support a “stand-alone” mutual fund complex, the funds are reasonably profitable to the Advisor as part of its larger, diversified organization. The Trustees also recognized that Madison Mosaic’s reputation benefited the Advisor’s reputation in attracting separately managed accounts and other investment advisory business. In sum, the Trustees recognized that Madison Mosaic Funds are important to the Advisor, are managed with the attention given to other firm clients and are not treated as “loss leaders.”

The Board engaged in a general and detailed discussion regarding fees. The Trustees recognized that the Advisor had materially lowered fees in connection with the Core Bond and Government Funds in order to help make them more competitive with larger funds. As part of the Board’s review of the costs of services and the profits to be realized by the Advisor, the Board considered the reasonableness and propriety of the securities research and so-called “soft dollar” benefits, if any, that the Advisor receives in connection with brokerage transactions. The Trustees recognized that “soft-dollar” benefits were not generated by fixed-income transactions.

With regard to the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as a fund grows, the Trustees recognized that Madison Mosaic Funds, both individually and as a complex, remain small and that economies of scale would likely be addressed after funds see assets grow significantly beyond their current levels. In light of their size, the Trustees noted that at current asset levels, it was premature to discuss additional economies of scale.

Finally, the Board reviewed the role of Mosaic Funds Distributor, LLC. They noted that the Advisor pays all distribution expenses of Madison Mosaic Funds because the funds themselves do not pay distribution fees. Such expenses include FINRA regulatory fees and “blue sky” fees charged by state governments in order to permit the funds to be offered in the various United States jurisdictions.

Based on all of the material factors explained above, plus a number of other matters that the Trustees are generally required to consider under guidelines developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s contract should be renewed for another year.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

Market Review

Depending on where you were invested, the bond market of 2008 was the best or worst of times. Riskier bonds were hammered in the wake of a broad credit crunch, while a flight to safety lifted the returns of Treasuries. As the year progressed, the problems that began in the subprime mortgage area bloomed into a full fledged credit crisis. The credit crisis sent unexpected shock waves into virtually all areas of the global economy, sparking a worldwide economic slowdown eventually leading into global recession. As credit froze, highly leveraged investment firms began to spiral downward, and many financial firms that are household names found themselves on the brink—or over the brink—of insolvency. Meanwhile, many investment vehicles with plain vanilla names like “core bond” or “short term bond” ended the year with large losses due to investments in toxic bonds or through investments in firms whose fates where linked with the securitized market.

Countering the crisis in the financial sector was a series of significant, even historically unprecedented, federal interventions. Beginning in January the Federal Reserve made the first of a series of rate cuts, which by the December cut lowered the target federal funds rate to a range of 0% to 0.25%, the lowest in modern history. In addition to rate cuts, the Federal government injected massive stimulus into the financial system in order to provide a solid base from which to repair balance sheets and normalize credit markets. These federal interventions were headlines throughout the year, including: the bailout of Bear Stearns; what amounted to a federal acquisition of mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; and the Congressional creation of the $700 billion TARP program. An additional large stimulus package is expected under the new presidential administration.

At the same time, high-quality bonds, particularly those issued by the U.S. government, reaped the rewards as investors fled to the safest instruments available. Not only did Treasuries have strong real returns, they looked tremendous compared to the losses that pummeled stock investors. The S&P 500 was down -37.0% for the year, while the major international market indices dropped more than -40% as well.

Within the bond market, there was a disparity in returns unlike any year in memory. For instance, the Barclays Capital indices (formerly Lehman Brothers indices) showed a gap from a 13.7% annual return for Treasuries to -26.2% for high-yield bonds. Within corporate bonds, returns varied from 8.1% for AAA rated bonds to -26.5% for bonds rated B and -44.3% for bonds rated one step lower at CAA. Many bond mutual funds stumbled as well, as the Lipper Indices showed average annual returns of -4.7% for Intermediate Investment Grade Funds, -4.1% for Inflation Protected Treasury Bond Funds, - -4.6% for Short Investment Grade Funds, and -2.3% for Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds.

Outlook

As we enter 2009, the U.S. economy, and most of the world, is mired in a severe recession. It is increasingly difficult to find reason for optimism in upcoming economic data. U.S. consumer confidence has fallen to generational lows. Manufacturers are paring back production and employment in anticipation of a prolonged recession. Unemployment rates are rising, and likely to rise further. Credit remains tight and is only available to the most worthy of borrowers.

The process of de-leveraging, begun in 2007, will likely continue well into 2009. The financial sector de-leveraging, while well-advanced, has more room to run. Private sector corporate de-leveraging will likely be a less troublesome issue, as non-financial corporate balance sheets remain in good shape. The process of consumer de-leveraging, we fear, is still in its early stages, and should only be magnified

as the unemployment rate rises and the recession deepens.

There are bright spots, however. The monetary and fiscal stimulus brought to bear so far is staggering, and should eventually have its intended effect. Estimates of U.S. Government infusions into the banking industry alone are in the $1-$2 trillion range. And the $100 decline in the price of a barrel of crude could put up to $260 billion back in consumers’ pockets—a large stimulus in and of itself. After a gloomy first half, we expect the economy to begin to show modest signs of life in the second half of 2009.

Fund Overview

Institutional Bond Fund

Mosaic Institutional Bond Fund had a 6.30% return for the annual period ended December 31, 2008. Over the same period, the Lipper Intermediate Investment Grade Index fell -4.71%. This performance gap was largely a quality and active management story, as the fund’s preference for high-quality bonds and avoidance of problem issues made a dramatic difference. The gap in returns between Institutional Bond and its peers—more than 11% for the year—indicates just how important security selection was in 2008. While many fund managers chased yield and bought bonds which were backed by suspect mortgages, we avoided these issues due to concerns over the state of the housing market, even though many sported top ratings from third party raters. Another positive factor in performance was the timing of a number of trades which took advantage of some of the major interest rate moves in a year characterized by exceptional volatility.

At period end, the Fund’s duration was 3.23 years, while its 30-day SEC yield was 3.12%. The duration of the Fund ended close to the 3.53 years where we started as we continue to pursue what we feel are conservative, sound management decisions which can produce strong returns without undue risk. The Fund began the period with 46.3% invested in investment-grade corporate bonds and ended the year with 44.4%. At period end, the Fund had 32.1% of the fund in Treasuries, and 11.4% in agency bonds. The fund’s largest holdings were in Treasury notes maturing between 2011 and 2017 and intermediate bonds issued by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

Corporate Income Shares (COINS) Fund

COINS is a corporate bond portfolio designed for exclusive use within separately managed accounts. COINS had a return of 4.29% for the one-year period ended December 31, 2008. This compares to the -2.76% return of the Barclays Capital Intermediate Credit Bond Index. This outperformance was largely a matter of security selection and quality, as COINS held significantly less exposure to lower-rated triple-B bonds than its benchmark and avoided problem issuers. The managers of COINS also kept exposure to longer-term and troubled financial bonds at a minimum. At the end of the period, the portfolio held a diversified portfolio of 39 corporate bonds with a composite quality rating of AA1 by Moody’s. The portfolio had an effective duration of 3.20 years, down from the period’s start 3.81 years, with a yield-to-maturity of 4.15%, compared to the period start of 4.61%. More than ninety-five percent of the portfolio was rated A or higher by Standard and Poor’s, with approximately 4.3% rated triple-B.

Madison Mosaic Income Trust December 31, 2008

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Madison Mosaic Income Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments of the Madison Mosaic Income Trust (the “Trust”) including the Institutional Bond Fund and Corporate Income Shares Fund (COINS Fund) (the “Funds”), as of December 31, 2008 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period from July 1, 2007 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2008 for the COINS Fund, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and for the period from July 1, 2007 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2008 for the COINS Fund. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008 by correspondence with the Funds’ custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2008, and the results of their operations for the year then ended and the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and for the period from July 1, 2007 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2008 for the COINS Fund, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and for the period from July 1, 2007 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2008 for the COINS Fund, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Madison Mosaic Income Trust (the “Trust”) is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified investment management company. The Trust currently offers four portfolios, each of which is a diversified mutual fund. This report contains information about two of these portfolios, the Madison Mosaic Institutional Bond Fund and the Madison Mosaic Corporate Income Shares (COINS) Fund (the “Funds”). Their objectives and strategies are detailed in their prospectus. The remaining Trust portfolios present their financial information in a separate report.

Securities Valuation: Repurchase agreements and other securities having maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities having longer maturities, for which quotations are readily available, are valued at the mean between their closing bid and ask prices. Securities for which current market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (FAS 157) effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Funds 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. FAS 157 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 Funds’ 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 Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets as of December 31, 2008:

	Investments in Securities
Valuation Inputs	Institutional Bond Fund	COINS Fund
Level 1: Quoted prices	$--	$--
Level 2: Other significant observable inputs	$2,134,023	$934,024
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs	--	--
Total	$2,134,023	$934,024

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. Other income is accrued as earned.

Distribution of Income and Gains: Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income, determined as gross investment income less total expenses, is declared as a regular dividend and distributed to shareholders quarterly for the Institutional Bond Fund and monthly for the Corporate Income Shares Fund. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually at year-end for both funds.

The tax character of distributions paid during 2008 and 2007 were as follows:

	2008	2007
Institutional Bond Fund:
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$122,678	$271,319
Long-term capital gains	19,610	--

14 Annual Report • December 31, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

	2008	2007
COINS Fund:
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$42,472	$15,978
Short-term capital gains	579	108

As of December 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Institutional Bond Fund:
Net unrealized appreciation on investments	$57,075
COINS Fund:
Net unrealized appreciation on investments	$10,865

Net realized gains or losses may differ for financial and tax reporting purposes as a result of loss deferrals related to wash sales and post-October transactions.

Income Tax: No provision is made for federal income taxes since it is the intention of the Trust to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M 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 Funds adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the Funds.

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

In the Institutional Bond Fund, a permanent book and tax difference related to realized gains on a redemption in kind not recognized for tax purposes resulted in a decrease in undistributed net realized gains of $104,449 with a corresponding increase in paid in surplus.

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. Investments in Repurchase Agreements. When the Funds purchase securities under agreements to resell, the securities are held for safekeeping by the Funds’ 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 safekeeping with the Fund’s custodian bank. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Funds, along with other registered investment companies having Advisory and Services Agreements with the same Advisor, 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. As of December 31, 2008, the Institutional Bond Fund had a 3.3% interest and the COINS Fund had a 0.4% interest in the consolidated repurchase agreement of $7,263,519 collateralized by $7,409,165 in Freddie Mac Mortgage Backed Security Notes. Proceeds at maturity were $7,263,523.

3. Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates. The investment advisor to the Funds, Madison Mosaic, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Madison Investment Advisors, Inc., (collectively “the Advisor”), earns an advisory fee equal to 0.30% per annum of the average net assets of the Institutional Bond Fund. This fee is accrued daily and is paid monthly.

The COINS Fund pays no advisory fees. Instead the Advisor is compensated for managing the fund through payments it receives from fees paid on accounts in wrap programs whose clients are permitted to invest in COINS.

4. Investment Transactions. Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the year ended December 31, 2008 were as follows:

	Purchases	Sales
Institutional Fund:
U.S. Gov’t securities	$1,012,895	$3,515,596
Other	1,111,205	3,103,796
COINS Fund:
U.S. Gov’t securities	$--	$--
Other	334,041	41,342

Included in proceeds of sales for the Institutional Bond Fund is $4,969,177 representing the value of securities distributed as in-kind payment of redemptions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

5. Other Expenses. Under a separate Services Agreement, the Advisor will provide or arrange for the Funds to have all other necessary operational and support services for a fee based on a percentage of average net assets. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly. This percentage is 0.08% for the Institutional Bond Fund.

The Institutional Bond Fund also pays the expenses of its Independent Trustees and auditors directly. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the amounts expensed for these fees were $1,000 and $4,500, respectively.

The COINS Fund pays no expenses. Instead, the Advisor is compensated for administering the fund through payments it receives from fees paid on accounts in wrap programs whose clients are permitted to invest in COINS.

6. Aggregate Cost and Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation). The aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes and the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are as follows as of December 31, 2008:

	Institutional Bond Fund	COINS Fund
Aggregate Cost	$2,076,948	$923,159
Gross unrealized appreciation	79,310	21,628
Gross unrealized depreciation	(22,235)	(10,763)
Net unrealized appreciation	$57,075	$10,865

7. Capital Share Transactions. An unlimited number of capital shares, without par value, are authorized. Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,
Institutional Bond Fund	2008	2007

* For the period July 1, 2007 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 2007

In addition for the Institutional Bond Fund, gains associated with a redemption of securities in kind of $104,449 were credited to paid in surplus as a capital adjustment.

8. Line of Credit. The Institutional Bond Fund has a $345,000 revolving credit facility with a bank for temporary emergency purposes, including the meeting of redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely disposition of securities. The interest rate on the outstanding principal amount is equal to the prime rate less 1/2%. The Fund paid $250 for the year to maintain its line of credit. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not borrow on its line of credit.

9. Accounting Pronouncements. On March 19, 2008, Financial Accounting Standards Board released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.

16 Annual Report • December 31, 2008

Notes to Financial Statements (concluded)

Fund Expenses

Example: As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including Investment advisory fees and Other expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. See Notes 3 and 5 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 July 1, 2008 and held for the six-months ended December 31, 2008.

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.”

Based on Actual Total Return1
	Beginning Account Value	Ending Account Value	Annualized Expense Ratio	Expenses Paid During the Period2
Institutional Bond Fund	$1,000.00	$1,044.61	0.56%	$2.81
COINS Fund	$1,000.00	$1,027.11	0%	$0
1For the six-months ended December 31, 2008. 2Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 366.

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 your 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 your 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.

Based on Hypothetical Total Return1
	Beginning Account Value	Ending Account Value	Annualized Expense Ratio	Expenses Paid During the Period2
Institutional Bond Fund	$1,000.00	$1,025.40	0.56%	$2.83
COINS Fund	$1,000.00	$1,025.40	0%	$0
1For the six-months ended December 31, 2008. 2Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 366.

Discussion of Contract Renewal (Unaudited)

The Trustees considered a number of factors when the Board most recently approved the advisory contract between the Advisor and the Trust in July 2008. Rather than providing you with a list of factors or conclusory statements that explained the Board’s decisionmaking process, the following discussion is designed to describe what you would have seen and heard if you had been at the Trust’s Board meeting when it most recently approved the advisory contract:

With regard to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, the Board reviewed the biographies and tenure of the personnel involved in fund management. They recognized the wide array of investment professionals employed by the firm. The officers of the investment advisor discussed the firm’s ongoing investment philosophies and strategies intended to provide superior performance consistent with each funds’ investment objectives under various market scenarios. The Trustees also noted their familiarity with the Advisor due to the Advisor’s history of providing advisory services to the Madison Mosaic family.

The Board also discussed the quality of services provided by the transfer agent, US Bancorp Fund Services, LLC. The Advisor reported that the transfer agent has routinely ranked at or near the top in customer service surveys for third party transfer agents. The Independent Trustees noted that they had just completed a satisfactory on-site review of the transfer agent’s facilities and operations, including its main operations in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and its emergency recovery center located in West Allis, Wisconsin.

With regard to the investment performance of each fund and the investment Advisor, the Board reviewed current performance information. They discussed the reasons for both outperformance and underperformance compared with peer groups and applicable indices. With regard to Madison Mosaic Income Trust fund performance, the Advisor explained its active bond management style and its goal of protecting shareholders during periods of rising interest rates. The Advisor explained that, in the long-term, it believes this philosophy is in the best interest of fixed-income fund shareholders and is in accordance with applicable prospectus disclosures of investment objectives and policies for the Trust’s funds. The Advisor reported to the Board that these funds were performing in accordance with their stated investment objectives and policies.

The Board engaged in a comprehensive discussion of fund performance and market conditions.

The officers of the Advisor also discussed the Advisor’s methodology for arriving at the peer groups and indices used for performance comparisons. The Board reviewed both short-term and long-term standardized performance, i.e. one, five and ten year (or since inception) average annual total returns for each fund and comparable funds, as well as standardized yields for fixed income funds.

With regard to the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the investment Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with each Mosaic fund, the Board reviewed the expense ratios for each Madison Mosaic fund compared with funds with similar investment objectives and of similar size. The Board reviewed such comparisons based on a variety of peer group comparisons from data extracted from industry databases including comparison to funds with similar investment objectives based on their broad asset category and total asset size, as well as from data provided directly by funds that most resembled each portfolio’s asset size and investment objective for the last year. The Advisor discussed the objective manner by which Madison Mosaic fees were compared to fees in the industry.

As in past years, the Trustees recognized that each Madison Mosaic fund’s fee structure should be reviewed based on total fund expense ratio rather than simply comparing advisory fees to other advisory fees in light of the simple expense structure (i.e. a single advisory and a single services fee, with only the fixed fees of the Independent Trustees and auditors paid separately). As such, the Board focused its attention on the total expense ratios paid by other funds of similar size and category when considering the individual components of the expense ratios. The Board also recognized that investors are often required to pay distribution fees (loads) over and above the amounts identified in the expense ratio comparison reviewed by the Board, whereas no such fees are paid by Madison Mosaic shareholders.

The Trustees sought to ensure that fees were adequate so that the Advisor did not neglect its management responsibilities for the Trusts in favor of more “profitable” accounts. At the same time, the Trustees sought to ensure that compensation paid to the Advisor was not unreasonably high. The Board reviewed materials demonstrating that although the Advisor is compensated for a variety of the administrative services it provides or arranges to provide pursuant to its Services Agreements, such compensation generally does not cover all costs due to the relatively small size of the funds in the Madison Mosaic family. Administrative, operational, regulatory and compliance fees and costs in excess of the Services Agreement fees are paid by the Advisor from its

20 Annual Report • December 31, 2008

investment advisory fees earned. For these reasons, the Trustees recognized that examination of total expense ratios compared to those of other investment companies was more meaningful than a simple comparison of basic “investment management only” fee schedules.

In reviewing costs and profits, the Trustees recognized that Madison Mosaic Funds are to a certain extent “subsidized” by the greater Madison Investment Advisors, Inc. organization because the salaries of all portfolio management personnel, trading desk personnel, corporate accounting personnel and employees of the Advisor who served as officers of the funds, as well as facility costs (rent), could not be supported by fees received from the funds alone. However, although Madison Mosaic represents only a few hundred million dollars of assets out of the multiple billions of assets managed by the Madison Investment Advisors, Inc. organization in Wisconsin at the time of the meeting, the Madison Mosaic family is profitable to the Advisor at the margin because such salaries and fixed costs are proportionately paid from revenue generated by management of the remaining assets. The Trustees reviewed a profitability analysis of the funds and recognized that, as explained above, full salaries of all portfolio managers had not been factored into the analyses. As a result, although the fees paid by each respective Madison Mosaic fund at its present size might not be sufficient to profitably support a “stand-alone” mutual fund complex, the funds are reasonably profitable to the Advisor as part of its larger, diversified organization. The Trustees also recognized that Madison Mosaic’s reputation benefited the Advisor’s reputation in attracting separately managed accounts and other investment advisory business. In sum, the Trustees recognized that Madison Mosaic Funds are important to the Advisor, are managed with the attention given to other firm clients and are not treated as “loss leaders.”

The Board engaged in a general and detailed discussion regarding fees. The Trustees recognized that the Advisor had materially lowered fees in connection with the Core Bond and Government Funds in order to help make them more competitive with larger funds. As part of the Board’s review of the costs of services and the profits to be realized by the Advisor, the Board considered the reasonableness and propriety of the securities research and so-called “soft dollar” benefits, if any, that the Advisor receives in connection with brokerage transactions. The Trustees recognized that “soft-dollar” benefits were not generated by fixed-income transactions.

With regard to the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as a fund grows, the Trustees recognized that Madison Mosaic Funds, both individually and as a complex, remain small and that economies of scale would likely be addressed after funds see assets grow significantly beyond their current levels. In light of their size, the Trustees noted that at current asset levels, it was premature to discuss additional economies of scale.

Finally, the Board reviewed the role of Mosaic Funds Distributor, LLC. They noted that the Advisor pays all distribution expenses of Madison Mosaic Funds because the funds themselves do not pay distribution fees. Such expenses include FINRA regulatory fees and “blue sky” fees charged by state governments in order to permit the funds to be offered in the various United States jurisdictions.

Based on all of the material factors explained above, plus a number of other matters that the Trustees are generally required to consider under guidelines developed by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s contract should be renewed for another year.

EX-99.CODE ETH

Mosaic/Madison 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, 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

Mosaic Fund’s 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:

1. honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
2. full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that a registrant files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Company;
3. compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;
4. the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and
5. 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

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:

1. 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;
2. 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;
3. 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
4. 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:

1. service as a director on the board of any public or private company;
2. 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;
3. 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;
4. 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

1. Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Company;
