Madison Mosaic Income Trust | June 30, 2012
 
Review of Period
 
 
ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
 
Investors continued to favor bond investments over the stocks during the six-month period ended June 30, 2012. With interest rates dipping from already low levels, their attraction suggested risk avoidance and a flight to quality, with the investment environment best summed up in one word: uncertain. The period opened with general optimism as reflected in a strong rally in the stock market while the yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to a period high of 2.38% on March 19. This trend soon faced a reversal as new problems bubbled up in Europe, the U.S. economy showed signs of disappointing and China continued to report slowing growth. The resulting flight to quality took the 10-year Treasury yield to a record low of 1.45% on June 1. While the yield bounced quickly off this low, the period-ending yield of 1.65% was still at the bottom of historic ranges.
 
In addition to the ups and downs of the European sovereign debt crisis, shifting prospects for the U.S. economy were central to the market’s gyrations. Dampening more optimistic projections, first quarter U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) was reported to be a modest 1.9%. The economic outlook was also discouraging, as seen in the leading employment indicators, which suggested continued stress on the jobs market. Surveys showed businesses have been unwilling to increase hiring given global growth and tax code uncertainties. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve lowered its growth estimates for future GDP in response to inconsistent readings on various leading indicators including the Institute of Supply Management manufacturing survey, durable goods orders, retail sales and regional Federal Reserve district surveys. In addition the Federal Reserve committed to its recent pattern of stimulus known as Operation Twist, while speculation continued over whether it would feel compelled to launch another round of Quantitative Easing (QE3).
 
The approaching 2013 U.S. "fiscal cliff" may be noteworthy for U.S. investors. In short, if Congress takes no action, daunting tax increases and spending cuts will automatically kick in. The U.S. fiscal deficit would be abruptly reduced by as much as 4% of U.S. GDP for 2013. While deficit reduction appears to be a positive outcome, it comes at a rather severe price. The flip side of deficit reduction would be a commensurate 4% decline in the U.S. GDP at a time when growth is tenuous. This sudden, and widely feared, shock to the system has led to the term "fiscal cliff." Our view, however, is that a much tamer deficit reduction plan is likely to be reached via political compromise by early 2013.
 
 
OUTLOOK
 
Given the headwinds facing global financial markets, we believe it remains imperative to carefully manage asset allocation and security risk. We believe volatility will likely be a factor until there is clarity both here and abroad. Further Federal Reserve easing may occur if the unemployment rate drifts higher, growth estimates continue to fade or European contagion threatens our financial system. The uncertainty which drove interest rates to record lows during this period appears likely to remain with us for some time.

MADISON MOSAIC GOVERNMENT FUND
 
FUND-AT-A-GLANCE
Objective: Madison Mosaic Government Fund provides investors with monthly dividends by investing in bonds and other securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government.
Net Assets: $5.3 million
Date of Inception: July 21, 1983
Ticker: MADTX

 

 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
 

Madison Mosaic Government Fund invests primarily in short to intermediate term government and government agency bonds. The fund concentrates on the intermediate portion of the yield curve with a recognition that the ten-year Treasury bond has offered approximately 90% of the return of a 30-year Treasury with less risk. The fund is actively managed for duration, meaning that when we believe interest rates will fall, we lengthen duration to take advantage of the increased returns that should be available as rates drop. Likewise, when rates appear likely to rise, we shorten portfolio maturities with the goal of limiting potential declines.
 

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 

Madison Mosaic Government Fund (Class Y) returned 0.83% for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2012. This return exceeded the fund’s Morningstar Short Government peer group, which had a category return of 0.56% for the period, but trailed the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government Bond Index, which returned 1.07%. These relative returns reflect primarily the fund’s neutral duration posture which was similar to the more conservative Morningstar category, while being shorter term than the Barclays Index in a period in which long-term government bonds outperformed shorter bonds. The Barclays Index held a duration of 3.36 years at period-end, compared to the fund’s 2.75 years. Secondarily, the fund had a higher allocation to sectors that offered the fund more yield. The Madison Mosaic Government Fund favored the yield advantage in U.S. Government Agency bonds and Agency mortgaged-backed bonds over Treasury securities during the period. However, Treasuries outperformed agencies slightly as seen by the relative returns of the Barclays Intermediate U.S. Agency Index, which was up 0.97%, while the Barclays Intermediate U.S. Treasury Index advanced 1.08%. As of June 30, 2012, the fund was invested 54.2% in U.S. Government agency bonds, 29.6% in Treasuries, 13.3% in mortgage-backed bonds and 2.9% in cash and other assets. The fund held 38 positions and had a 30-day SEC yield of 0.27% (Class Y).

MADISON MOSAIC CORE BOND FUND
 

FUND-AT-A-GLANCE
Objective: Madison Mosaic Core Bond Fund provides relatively higher income by investing in a mix of higher, medium and lower-rated corporate bonds.
Net Assets: $8.7 million
Date of Inception: July 21, 1983
Ticker: MADBX

 

 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
 

Madison Core Bond Fund invests primarily in intermediate-term corporate, government and mortgage-backed bonds. The fund is actively managed in terms of duration, asset mix and yield curve positioning. When we believe interest rates are likely to fall, we lengthen duration to take advantage of the increased returns that should be available as rates drop. Likewise, when rates appear likely to rise, we shorten portfolio maturities with the goal of limiting potential declines.
 

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 

The Core Bond Fund (Class Y) rose 2.03% for the six months ended June 30, 2012. Over the same period, its Morningstar peer group in the Intermediate Term Bond category averaged 3.46%, while the Barclay’s Capital Aggregate Bond Index rose 2.37%. In a period in which long bonds outperformed short bonds, the fund had solid performance, despite holding a more conservative, shorter duration than its Barclays Index. At year-end, the Barclays Aggregate Index held a duration of 5.07 years, compared to the Core Bond Fund’s 4.31 years. In terms of peer performance, one likely disadvantage was the fund’s preference for higher-quality bonds in a period in which the Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield Index was up 7.27%, making an even small allocation to junk bonds a significant advantage over the Core Bond Fund’s lack of exposure to bonds rated below BBB. Another headwind was management’s decision to favor industrial corporate bonds over bonds issued by financial firms. Despite the downgrade of many major banks in June, bonds issued by financial firms outperformed those from industrials. At period-end, the fund was invested 53.7% in corporate bonds, 19.1% in Treasuries, 21.7% in mortgage-backed bonds, 3.4% in government agency notes and 2.1% in cash and other assets. The credit quality of its corporate bonds was high, with 45.8% earning a Standard & Poor’s rating of AAA, 10.3% AA, 34.0% A, 9.9% BBB, with no exposure to lower-rated bonds. The fund ended the period with a 30-day SEC yield of 1.23% (Class Y).

MADISON MOSAIC INSTITUTIONAL BOND FUND
 

FUND-AT-A-GLANCE
Objective: The Madison Mosaic Institutional Bond Fund seeks total investment return through a combination of intermediate corporate and government bonds.
Net Assets: $115.8 million
Date of Inception: May 1, 2000
Ticker: MIIBX

 

 
INVESTMENT STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS
 

The Institutional Bond Fund invests primarily in short- to intermediate-term government, government agency and investment-grade corporate bonds. The fund concentrates on the intermediate portion of the yield curve in recognition that the 10-year Treasury bond has historically offered approximately 90% of the return of a 30-year Treasury with less risk. The fund is actively managed for duration, meaning that when we believe interest rates are likely to fall, we lengthen duration to take advantage of the increased returns that should be available as rates drop. Likewise, when rates appear low, we shorten portfolio maturities with the goal of limiting potential declines.
 

 
PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
 

Madison Mosaic Institutional Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 1.11% for the semi-annual period ended June 30, 2012. Over the same period, its Morningstar peer group in the Intermediate Term Bond category averaged 3.46% while the Barclays Capital Intermediate Government Credit Index returned 2.10%. During these six months the market favored lower-quality, longer-dated issues. The high-quality mandate, along with a conservative maturity stance, explain why the fund trailed its peers and benchmark. This can be seen in the returns of the various Barclays Indices: with the Long U.S. Government/Credit Index up 5.04% to the Intermediate’s 2.10%. The U.S. Corporate High Yield Index was up 7.27%, showing the strength of lower quality issuance. We believe that the fund’s conservative, relatively short duration posture was a disadvantage over this period when compared to its benchmark, and was likely the major distinction against its peer group, whose durations tend to be closer to the benchmark. At period-end, the Barclays Intermediate Government Credit Index held a duration of 3.65 years, compared to the Institutional Bond Fund’s 2.91 years. As of June 30, 2012, the Institutional Bond Fund had an asset allocation of 49.5% corporates, 19.3% government agencies, 24.6% Treasuries, cash and other assets of 6.6% and a 30-day SEC yield of 0.51% (Class Y).

INVESTMENT GRADE CORPORATE BOND FUND
 

FUND-AT-A-GLANCE
Objective:  The Madison Mosaic Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund provides investors with monthly income by investing in investment grade corporate securities.
Net Assets: $18.5 million
Date of Inception: July 1, 2007
Ticker: COINX

 

 
Investment Strategy Highlights
 

Madison Mosaic Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund provides investors with regular, monthly income through investments in bonds issued by corporations. The fund is designed for investors who seek regular income from an actively managed bond fund that seeks the best risk/return profiles from a portfolio that emphasizes intermediate-term investment grade corporate bonds.
 

 
Performance Discussion
 

Madison Mosaic Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (Class Y) returned 2.47% for the semi-annual period ended June 30 2012. Over this same period, the fund’s Morningstar peer group, Intermediate Bond, returned 3.46%, while the Barclays Capital U.S. Credit Bond Index returned 4.55%. Given that the Barclays Index represents the full spectrum of quality issuance, it became a difficult benchmark to match for these six months. An indication of the gap in performance can be seen in the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index, which was up 7.27% for the period. Another headwind was the shorter maturity of the bonds in the fund, as longer bonds outperformed shorter bonds, with the Barclays Investment Grade U.S. Credit Long Index returning 5.42% compared to the Intermediate Index’s 4.37%. At period-end, the fund’s quality exposure as rated by Standard and Poor’s was 1.1% AAA, 14.4% AA, 50.1% A and 34.4% BBB. The fund held 65 issues and had a 30-day SEC yield of 1.74% (Class Y).

Madison Mosaic Income Trust | June 30, 2012
 
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 maintains four separate funds: Madison Mosaic Government Fund, Madison Mosaic Core Bond Fund, Madison Mosaic Institutional Bond Fund and the Madison Mosaic Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds"). Each Fund offers Y Class shares and is a diversified mutual fund with its objectives and strategies detailed in its prospectus.
 
Effective February 29, 2012, the Trust launched an additional share class for the Core Bond Fund. The Class, named R6 shares, are only available to participating retirement plans, corporations and other institutions, such as trusts, endowments and foundations.
 
Portfolio 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 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.
 
Each Fund has adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") applicable guidance on fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that each Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data "inputs" and minimize the use of unobservable "inputs" and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
 
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below:
 
 
Level 1 –unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
 
 
Level 2 –  other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rate volatilities, prepayment speeds, credit risk, benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities, underlying equity of the issuer; and proprietary pricing models such as yield measures calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data, etc.)
 
 
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value for the period ended June 30, 2012 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.
 
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2012 in valuing the Funds’ investments carried at fair value:

There were no transfers between classification levels during the period ended June 30, 2012. As of and during the six-months ended June 30, 2012, none of the Funds held securities deemed as a Level 3.
 
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-04, modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") issued International Financial Reporting Standard ("IFRS") 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of these FASB and IASB pronouncements was to converge guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. The effective date of ASU 2011-04 is for Interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Funds’ have adopted the disclosures required by this update.
 
In December 2011, the IASB and the FASB issued ASU 2011-11 "Disclosures about Offsetting Assets And Liabilities."  These common disclosure requirements are intended to help investors and other financial statement users to better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a portfolio’s financial position. They also intend to improve transparency in the reporting of how companies mitigate credit risk, including disclosure of related collateral pledged or received. In addition, ASU 2011-11 facilitates comparison between those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that prepare their financial statements on the basis of IFRS. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the financial position; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. ASU 2011-11 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on financial statements disclosures.
 
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
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 invest-ment 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 2011 and 2010 was as follows:

178,565

Net unrealized appreciation on investments
463,444
 
$463,575

 
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.
 
As of and during the six-months ended June 30, 2012, 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.
 
Tax years open to examination by tax authorities under the statute of limitations include 2008 through 2011.
 
The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Modernization Act") modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs. The Modernization Act contains simplification provisions effective for taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for "inadvertent" failures of the asset diversification and/or qualifying income tests. Additionally, the Modernization Act allows capital losses to be carried forward indefinitely, and retain the character of the original loss, exempts RICs from the preferential dividend rule, and repealed the 60-day designation requirement for certain types of pay-through income and gains.
 
As of December 31, 2011, the Core Bond Fund and Institutional Bond Fund had available for federal income tax purposes the following unused capital loss carryovers:
 
Fund
Short-Term Losses
Long-Term Losses
Expire
Core Bond
$17,156
December 31, 2014
 
10,131

Do not expire.

 
Cash Concentration: At times, the Funds maintain cash balances at financial institutions in excess of federally

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
 
insured limits. The Funds monitor this credit risk and have not experienced any losses related to this risk.
 
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 Funds purchase securities under agreements to resell, the securities are held for safekeeping by the 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 Funds’ 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 investment adviser, transfer 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 June 30, 2012, the Government Fund had a 0.5% interest, the Core Bond Fund had a 0.4% interest, the Institutional Bond Fund had a 23.8% interest and the Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund had a 0.7% interest in the consolidated repurchase agreement of $27,538,828 collateralized by $28,089,660 in Fannie Mae Mortgaged Backed Security Notes. Proceeds at maturity were $27,538,851.
 
In April 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-03 "Reconsideration of Effective Control of Repurchase Agreements." ASU 2011-03 is an amendment to Topic 860 "Transfers and Servicing."These amendments simplify the accounting for repurchase agreements by eliminating the requirement that the transferor demonstrate it has adequate collateral to fund substantially all the cost of purchasing replacement assets. As a result, more arrangements could be accounted for as secured borrowings rather than sales. The guidance applies to public and nonpublic companies and is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2011. The guidance should be applied prospectively to transactions or modifications of existing transactions that occur on or after the effective date. The Investment Adviser has determined that the updated Standards have no material impact on the Funds’ financial statements.
 
3. Investment Advisory Fees. The investment adviser to the Funds, Madison Investment Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser"), earned an advisory fee equal to 0.40% per annum of the average net assets of the Government Fund, Core Bond Fund and Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund and 0.30% per annum for the Institutional Bond Fund. Effective June 29, 2012, 0.10% of this fee for the Government Fund is waived through June 30, 2013.
 
4. Other Expenses. Under a separate Services Agreement, the Adviser 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. Through June 28, 2012, this fee for Class Y shares was 0.28% for the Government Fund, 0.30% for the Core Bond Fund, 0.19% for the Institutional Bond Fund and 0.30% for the Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund. Effective June 29, 2012, these fees were reduced to 0.25% for the Government Fund, 0.25% for the Core Bond Fund and 0.25% for the Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund. The Institutional Bond Fund’s fee remained the same at 0.19%. The Class R6 shares fees for the Core Bond Fund was 0.02% from inception of those shares through period ended June 30, 2012. The Independent Trustees fees and the expenses of the Funds’ independent registered public accountants are paid out of these fees. These fees are accrued daily and paid monthly.
 
5. Investment Transactions. Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities) for the year ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

8. Line of Credit. The Government Fund, Core Bond Fund and Institutional Bond Fund have lines of credit with U.S. Bank, N.A. of $500,000, $1 million and $5 million, respectively. Each line is a 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%. During the six-months ended June 30, 2012, none of the Funds drew on their credit facility.
 
9. Discussion of Risks. Please see the most current version of each Fund’s prospectus for a discussion of risks associated with investing in the Funds. While investments in stocks and bonds have been keystones in wealth building and management for a hundred years, at times they’ve produced surprises for even the savviest investors. Those who enjoyed growth and income of their investments were rewarded for the risks they took by investing in the markets. When calamity strikes, the word "security" itself seems a misnomer. Although the Adviser seeks to appropriately address and manage the risks identified and disclosed to you in connection with the management of the securities in the Funds, you should understand that the very nature of the securities markets includes the possibility that there are additional risks that we did not contemplate for any number of reasons. We seek to identify all applicable risks and then appropriately address them, take appropriate action to reasonably manage them and, of course, to make you aware of them so you can determine if they exceed your risk tolerance. Nevertheless, the often volatile nature of the securities markets and the global economy in which we work suggests that the risk of the unknown is something you must consider in connection with your investments in securities. Unforeseen events have the potential to upset the best laid plans of man, and could, in a worst-case scenario produce the material loss of the value of some or all of the securities we manage for you in the Funds.
 
10. Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds’ financial statements. No events have taken place that meet the definition of a subsequent event that requires adjustment to, or disclosure in the financial statements.

Other Information
 
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 fund 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 4 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 January 1, 2012 and held for the six-months ended June 30, 2012.
 
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 any 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 a 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.
