REPORT FROM ALLEGIANT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY

“…the Fed established a holding pattern with the federal funds rate at 5.25%.”

Over the last year, we’ve provided updates on the progress Allegiant Asset Management has made and we are seeing the impact of that transformation. Our focus is on delivering competitive products to our shareholders. We believe the changes you have seen are leading us in this direction. Our investment teams, while located in various cities across the country, continue to benefit from sharing ideas. Across the spectrum of both equity and fixed income investments, a significant number of our mutual funds have outperformed their benchmarks and/or Lipper peer groups.(1) Although the markets have oscillated, our teams have remained focused on their investment process yielding strong results. And, we continue to be opportunistic in looking for areas to expand upon our capabilities and grow our product offerings to meet your ever changing needs.

Review

The markets spent most of the past fiscal year focused on the Federal Reserve Board, which, despite widespread speculation of impending interest rate cuts, took no such action. Rather, the Fed established a holding pattern with the federal funds rate at 5.25%. Despite the inaction, interest rate speculation remained intense as debate centered on competing fears of a slowing economy and rising inflation.

The housing market recession was dominant among fears of an excessive economic slow-down. Previous years of abnormally low interest rates combined with a dramatic relaxation of underwriting standards and increased speculation resulted in widely overvalued market conditions. As interest rates trended higher and affordability trended lower, however, demand collapsed, prices weakened, and credit problems multiplied.

Fortunately, the rest of the economy held up well. Sustained by healthy job and income gains, and rising net worth, the stalwart American consumer showed little evidence of retrenchment aside from episodic set-backs driven by energy price spikes. Commercial construction activity remained buoyant due to falling vacancy rates and foreign trade improved due to strong growth abroad and a declining value of the dollar.

Eventually, the economy’s resilience gave way to inflationary angst. Commodity prices remained stubbornly high and “core” measures of inflation exceeded the ranges preferred by Federal Reserve officials.

Equities

The stock market kept a hopeful eye on the Fed and reached new highs, predicated on the expectation of a “Goldilocks scenario” nurtured by lower interest rates. In late February, however, global markets sold off following a 10% drop in the Chinese exchange and emerging evidence of subprime mortgage difficulties. The decline was short-lived as favorable liquidity, strong global growth and better-than-expected earnings provided welcome tailwinds to rising markets worldwide.

U.S. corporations continued to generate robust earnings growth, fueled by their continued global expansion. For the first time, companies in the S&P 500® Index will generate over 50% of their

sales abroad. The robust economic growth of China, developing economies, and Europe, combined with a weak U.S. dollar, helped offset results from domestic operations.

Merger and acquisition activity also surged and record levels of equity buy-backs further buoyed the market, each supported by still-low interest rates and cash-rich balance sheets. Private equity firms enjoyed record inflows as appetites for “alternative” investments remained strong.

Stock market returns for the year ended May 31, 2007, were stellar. The S&P 500® reached a new high in late May and returned 22.79%, while the Russell 2000® returned 18.92%. Large cap stocks finally outperformed small cap, and value continued to top growth.* International developed markets (MSCI EAFE®) returned 26.84%, while emerging markets (MSCI EM®) returned 38.16%.**

Telecomm dominated all sectors, returning 49.80% for the year. Utilities returned 35.99%, followed by energy at 28.45%. Industrials and consumer staples lagged the overall market at 16.81% and 18.76%, respectively.

Fixed Income

The fixed income market over the last year was marked by a flat-to-inverted yield curve, historically low spreads, and low volatility. As calendar 2006 drew to an end, bond yields increased due to a combination of favorable economic readings and persistently unacceptable inflation. Still, given low market risk premiums and low interest rates, bonds performed well across all sectors.

Interest rate volatility declined throughout the year, as the Fed remained on hold and interest rates traded in a fairly narrow range. Nonetheless, the subprime crisis and an associated surge in delinquencies and defaults did affect lower quality segments of the mortgage market. Conversely, the U.S. agency component of the mortgage-backed market was affected very little.

Within the corporate component of the bond markets, spreads traded historically tight on the back of robust cash flows and higher-than-expected earnings. Growing concerns over domestic economic weakness coupled with housing-related problems have weighed on the corporate market in 2007, slightly widening spreads. Nevertheless, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index finished the year ended May 31, 2007, by returning 7.36%.

The volatility across equity markets in late February 2007 carried over to the bond markets, as investors sought higher quality Treasuries, pushing yields down. Yields soon reversed direction and began to tick upward due to concerns over waning foreign interest in Treasury holdings, strong growth abroad, and renewed inflation pressures.

What’s Ahead?

The preoccupation with higher inflation and slower economic growth remains in place. Energy and food costs continue to trend higher and recent declines in core inflation are tenuous. Meanwhile, the housing market remains precarious. Together, it is possible that these vulnerabilities could move the U.S. economy dangerously close to recession. However, the Fed maintains that moderate economic growth (GDP below the economy’s full potential) will allow inflation pressures to gradually abate, and the economy will slowly recover without further action on its part.

Allegiant Equity and Asset Allocation Funds

REPORT FROM ALLEGIANT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Though 2007 first quarter earnings were significantly above consensus, much of the resilience was fueled by strong foreign sales, an increase in corporate pricing power, and the benefits that a weak U.S. dollar has on currency translation effects. Nonetheless, profits are clearly on a slowing trajectory as rising labor, commodity and financing costs continue to squeeze margins. Additionally, the Treasury market shows enduring worries that inflation is not abating, which could take a serious toll on both equities and the housing markets.

That said, U.S. corporations are enjoying high margins, strong cash flows, and stable balance sheets that allow them considerable flexibility. Interest rates remain relatively low and domestic growth, though slowed, has not turned negative. The U.S. economy is now a global one, and the world markets will significantly impact its future.

In closing, thank you for the trust you have placed with us. You are truly our most valuable asset.

EXPLANATION OF EXPENSETABLES

The expenses shown in the Expense Tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), including contingent deferred sales charges, all of which is described in the Prospectus. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” reflects the actual expenses net of fee waivers, where applicable, for the period (December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007), and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the year ended May 31, 2007.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Such expenses, which are deducted from a Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a Fund. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Tables provided on the following pages are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007).

The Expense Table that appears in your Fund’s overview illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

   

Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Class of Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

   

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the return used is not your Fund’s actual return — the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Martin C. Schulz

Director,

International Equity Investment

LOGO

International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities.

How did large international stocks perform over the last year?

International markets finished the year strong despite the market’s concern about a global economic slowdown, inflation, rising global interest rates and geopolitical risk revolving around North Korea and Iran.

As we entered fiscal year 2007, the MSCI EAFE® Growth began reversing a seven-year trend and outperformed the MSCI EAFE® Value, and developed markets underperformed emerging markets (MSCI EAFE® vs. MSCI EM®). Currency conversion factors continue to benefit investors with dollar-denominated returns.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the International Equity Fund (“Fund”) returned 21.37% to B shares investors(1) and 27.61% to I shares investors while the Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI EAFE® Index(2), returned 26.84%. The Average International Multi-Cap Core Peer returned 25.95% during the period.

The Fund’s growth holdings were affected positively by top-down country allocations, specifically its overweight to Singapore. Sector decisions also added to performance with overweights to Consumer Discretionary and Healthcare in the first half of the year and to Materials and Consumer Staples in 2007.

The performance of the Fund’s value holdings was fueled by positive country allocation, specifically in Japan, Scandinavia and Britain. Sector allocation and security selection also were positive, specifically in the Materials and Industrials sectors. British homebuilders have been particularly strong performers.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

We remain bullish longer term and believe markets will continue to have concerns over U.S. housing fears, a global economic slowdown, geopolitical risk in Iran, potential inflation, and elections in several major economies. Real rates remain at record lows, spreads are tight, equity valuations are reasonable, and massive liquidity leading to increased M&A will continue to support market valuations. We remain cautiously optimistic in the near term – even after a strong run – and are positive on the outlook for global growth for 2007 and beyond. The global economic environment remains resilient, and we expect a reacceleration in 2007 after the predicted midcycle slowdown, which has been fueled by global central bank tightening, increased crude oil prices, pockets of inflationary pressures, and political instability in the Middle East.

We remain vigilant, however, and are monitoring inflationary pressures, developing market exuberance, and geopolitical and policy risks.

We continue to search for growth stories in Asia and Europe, taking advantage of any near-term recent market volatility. We are neutral on the Japanese economy but continue to believe that we are in the mid stages of a reflationary boom in Asia.

LARGE CAP CORE EQUITY FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Christopher A. Wiles, CFA

Managing Senior Director,

Core and Growth Investment

LOGO

How did large cap core stocks perform over the last year?

Reversing a multiyear trend, large cap stocks outperformed small cap stocks over the last year, but mid caps remain the strongest performing domestic equity class (S&P 500®, Russell 2000® and Russell Midcap®, respectively) . While mega cap stocks struggled in late 2006, they have surged ahead in 2007, taking advantage of their exposure to strong growth abroad and the weakening dollar. Large value remains firmly ahead of large growth.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Large Cap Core Equity Fund (the “Fund”) returned 9.78% to B shares investors(1) and 15.91% to I shares investors while the Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500® Index(2) returned 22.79%. The Average Large-Cap Core Peer returned 21.19% during the period.

Our investment process is based on our philosophy: large cap markets are extremely efficient; therefore, managers should minimize risk and focus on adding value in areas they can. We remain sector neutral to the S&P 500®, fully invested, and focus on security selection. Beginning the fiscal year, surprise inflation numbers coupled with fears that Japan would soon raise interest rates swung investors to more conservative securities. However, later in the year through early April, markets once again embraced risk, with lesser quality companies outperforming. Fund performance struggled as markets quickly moved between risky and safe harbors.

During the period, the Fund’s exposure to the Energy and Materials sectors, particularly gold-related issues, detracted from Fund performance. Within the Healthcare sector, an underweight to large pharmaceutical companies, an overweight to biotechs, and security selection were the primary reasons for the sector’s underperformance. However, we continue to believe that biotechs offer better product pipelines and future growth opportunities.

In 2007, the biggest events affecting the markets have been the continuation of the subprime crisis and the sell-off that occurred globally on February 27. Despite fears that the deterioration of the subprime markets could negatively impact the economy and the markets, we believe there actually may be a silver lining, as financial crises tend to put an end to Fed tightening. Although the sell-off in February was extreme, markets, especially those in Asia, have recovered losses and gained new ground.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

In the U.S. stock market, we continue to believe that risk is not being adequately respected. This phenomenon has been building over time, dating back perhaps to the “Greenspan Puts” in 2000. “Greenspan Puts” refer to the market’s reliance on the Fed to keep the economy humming.

It is difficult to discern any clear trends in the large cap market. Fund performance has come on the heels of security selection, and some of the disappointments of late 2006 have reversed. We continue to identify companies with strong opportunities over the next one to two years, be they in new products, better execution, innovation, or product cycles.

We believe the Fund is positioned on the right side of near-term, positive fundamentals and growth stories. Our decisions to sell specific securities have been driven by identifying alternatives with stronger growth prospects or when fundamentals have broken down and the risk has risen.

LARGE CAP GROWTH FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Christopher A. Wiles, CFA

Managing Senior Director,

Core and Growth

Investment

How did large cap growth stocks perform over the last year?

Reversing a multiyear trend, large cap stocks outperformed small cap stocks over the last year, but mid caps remain the strongest performing domestic equity class (Russell 1000®, Russell 2000®, and Russell Midcap® respectively). While mega cap stocks struggled in late 2006, they have surged ahead in 2007, taking advantage of their exposure to strong growth abroad and the weakening dollar. Large value remains firmly ahead of large growth.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Large Cap Growth Fund (“Fund”) returned 10.43% to B shares investors(1) and 16.51% to I shares investors while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Growth Index(2) returned 20.37%. The Average Large-Cap Growth Peer returned 17.26% during the period.

Multi-sector companies benefited from surging global demand for capital equipment. Positions in the fastest growing companies within this segment were positive for performance. Additionally, the Consumer Discretionary sector contributed positively to relative performance.

Our investment process is based on our philosophy: large cap markets are extremely efficient; therefore, managers should minimize risk and focus on adding value in areas they can. We remain sector neutral to the Russell 1000® Growth Index, fully invested, and focus on security selection. Beginning the fiscal year, surprise inflation numbers coupled with fears that Japan would soon raise interest rates swung investors to more conservative securities. However, later in the year through early April, markets once again embraced risk, with lesser quality companies outperforming. Fund performance struggled as markets moved quickly between risky and safe harbors.

The Fund’s exposure to the Materials sector, particularly gold-related issues, detracted from Fund performance. Technology was also an area of weak performance due to holdings in communications/software. Finally, holdings within the Healthcare sector also detracted from relative performance.

In 2007, the biggest events affecting markets have been the continuation of the subprime crisis and the sell-off that occurred globally on February 27. Despite fears that the deterioration of the subprime markets could negatively impact the economy and the markets, we believe there actually may be a silver lining, as financial crises tend to put an end to Fed tightening. Although the sell-off in February was extreme, markets, especially those in Asia, have recovered losses and gained new ground.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

In the U.S. stock market, we continue to believe that risk is not being adequately respected. This phenomenon has been building over time, dating back perhaps to the “Greenspan Puts” in 2000. “Greenspan Puts” refer to the market’s reliance on the Fed to keep the economy humming.

It is difficult to discern any clear trends in the large cap growth market. Fund performance has come on the heels of security selection, and some of the disappointments of late 2006 have reversed. We continue to identify companies with strong opportunities over the next one to two years, be they in new products, better execution, innovation, or product cycles.

We believe the Fund is positioned on the right side of near-term, positive fundamentals and growth stories. Our decisions to sell specific securities have been driven by identifying alternatives with stronger growth prospects or when fundamentals have broken down and the risk has risen.

LARGE CAP VALUE FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Michael J. Chren, CFA

Senior Director,

Value Investment

LOGO

How did large cap value stocks perform over the last year?

Reversing a multiyear trend, large cap stocks outperformed small cap stocks over the last year, but mid caps remain the strongest performing domestic equity class (Russell 1000®, Russell 2000®, and Russell Midcap® respectively). While mega cap stocks struggled in late 2006 and early 2007, they have surged ahead in 2007, taking advantage of their exposure to strong growth abroad and the weakening dollar. Large value remains firmly ahead of large growth.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Large Cap Value Fund (“Fund”) returned 19.05% to B shares investors(1) and 25.29% to I shares investors while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 1000® Value Index(2) returned 25.58%. The Average Large-Cap Value Peer returned 23.19% during the period.

Security selection drove performance for the 12-month period. Financials were the strongest performing area, though the Fund was underweight the group. Overweight positions in those financial services firms with capital markets-sensitive businesses outperformed. An underweight position in oil/gas exploration and materials/commodities stocks drove relative out performance. However, specific energy holdings were individual detractors.

Despite moves by investors to seek higher yielding assets, particularly REITs and Utilities, we remain underweight the groups. Higher end retailing stocks performed well (which went against our portfolio positioning) but a buyout offer on one of our biggest media holdings (Dow Jones & Co.) gave us the opportunity to sell out of our position with a very favorable performance impact.

Large Cap Value portfolios remain significantly tilted toward mega cap securities. Our universe of investable securities begins at the $3 billion market capitalization level and our current weighted average market capitalization is over $130 billion.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

We see several potential risks on the horizon and do not perceive these as being accurately reflected in asset prices. The U.S. dollar continues to fall, putting the massive amounts of foreign capital in dollar-denominated assets at risk to seek better post-translation returns. Valuations for cyclical stocks, smaller and mid-sized company stocks and utilities and REITs look stretched. High quality diversified multinational company stocks look extremely attractive and should out-perform for an extended period.

The Large Cap Value Fund has out-of-consensus positions in the Financials and Technology sectors (relative to our benchmark Russell 1000® Value Index). We are underweight Financials versus the index by approximately 6% and see significant risks, specifically in the banking industry. We are overweight Technology by nearly 4% with holdings in both the computers/ peripherals and semiconductor industries.

MIDCAP VALUE FUND OVERVIEW

May 31 , 2007

Michael Santelli, CFA, CPA

Senior Director

Value Equity Investment

LOGO

How did mid cap value stocks perform over the last year?

Mid cap stocks continue to turn in strong returns, leading both large cap and small cap stocks for the year (Russell Mid-Cap®, Russell 1000®, and Russell 2000® respectively). Mid cap value stocks outpaced mid cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® style indices, by almost 5%. Mid caps also continue to lead large and small caps on a 3-, 5-, and 10- year annualized basis.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Allegiant Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”) returned 21.57% to B shares investors(1) and 27.76% to I shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Value Index(2) (the “Index”) returned 26.42% during the same period. The Average Mid-Cap Value Peer returned 24.48% during the period.

We saw strong performance in many areas of our portfolio. Within Consumer Discretionary, our positions in several of the “dollar stores” posted strong returns as gas prices fell in late 2006. As well, our positions in the education industry regained earlier losses. While underweight Financials as a group, our security selection added to performance, specifically in the capital markets, asset management, and commercial banks areas. The Fund’s underweight to REITs had a negative bearing on performance for a period, but subsequently it finished the 12-month period as a positive contributor.

Coal stocks were hit hard as natural gas prices fell and winter weather proved warmer than average. An overweight to the Energy sector proved to be a detractor to Fund performance. Over the long term, however, we believe coal will continue to be a preferred source of energy to fuel power plants, leading to increased demand.

The downturn of the housing market, as well as problems in the subprime market, has had the most impact on the Fund. We remain underweight banks, as net interest margins continue to shrink and housing issues affect both new mortgage origination and banks’ ability to sell off these assets. In addition, private equity leveraged buy-outs and merger activity continue at a record-setting pace with significant impact to the markets.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

We are finding a number of attractive candidates within insurers, both property/casualty and mortgage insurers. Property and casualty insurers are trading at attractive valuations versus book value, and we believe book value will grow as the strong pricing environment drives an attractive return on equity. Mortgage insurance stocks are priced for the worst case scenario. Once the crisis clears, we believe they will have the benefits of strong pricing and increased demand.

It appears that the upside of our coal holdings will take longer to come to fruition than anticipated, but we believe the longer term prospects are still strong. Warm weather this winter, coupled with a cooler summer in 2006, drove down demand, but we see growth accelerating as inventory clears going forward.

We believe that over the long term, markets recognize value.

We buy companies that are trading at a discount to intrinsic value and focused on increasing their intrinsic value over time.

Returns also reflect a current voluntary fee waiver. Without such a fee waiver, performance of the Fund would have been lower. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, certain performance information includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception.

MULTI-FACTOR MID CAP GROWTH FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

How did mid cap growth stocks perform over the last year?

Mid cap stocks continue to turn in strong returns, leading both large cap and small cap stocks for the year (Russell Midcap®, Russell 1000®, and Russell 2000® respectively). Mid cap value stocks outpaced mid cap growth stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap® style indices, by almost 5%. Mid caps also continue to lead large and small caps on a 3-, 5-, and 10-year annualized basis.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Multi-Factor Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Fund”) returned 16.24% to B shares investors(1) and 22.45% to I shares investors while the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell Midcap® Growth Index(2) (the “Index”) returned 21.34%. The Average Mid-Cap Growth Peer returned 19.45% during the period.

Security selection was the primary driver of the Fund’s results. Though we saw very little dispersion in valuations among mid cap equities and trading ranges tightening, we were able to identify superior securities, specifically within the Consumer Discretionary and Technology sectors.

A massive amount of investment is moving into passively-managed investment vehicles and, as a result, there is less volatility in the marketplace overall. With less volatility in the markets, it is difficult for active managers owning higher quality securities to outperform. Both the REIT and Financial sectors performed well during the period. However, due to an underweight to both, Fund performance was negatively impacted.

As liquidity remains at record levels, so does the activity of private equity firms. We continue to see a substantial number of companies being taken private by these firms. As well, companies searching for growth are acquiring other firms to boost earnings. We also are seeing that the more speculative companies continue to outperform.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

As valuations become tighter, fundamental factors such as faster growth or accelerating sales give us a basis to differentiate stocks. Our goal is to identify companies that are improving fundamentally; over the long-term they will be rewarded in the market.

We continue to identify those factors we believe are most predictive of performance; however, we are in a difficult environment. We are noticing that factors have less longevity and offer shorter windows of out performance. We are altering our models to capture this.

MULTI-FACTOR SMALL CAP CORE FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Hitesh Patel, Ph.D.

Director,

Structured Equity Strategies

How did small cap core stocks perform over the last year?

Though small caps ceded their billing as the top performing asset class during the 12-month period ended May 31, 2007, they still turned in strong returns, with the Russell 2000® up 18.92%. Though lower quality, more speculative small cap securities outperformed in the beginning of the period, the new year marked a return to higher quality, larger companies outperforming. Small cap value outperformed small cap growth (Russell 2000® Value versus Growth).

Small cap performance relative to large caps remained strong in 2006, but as U.S. economic growth has slowed, small caps have suffered due to their lower proportion of international sales.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Small Cap Core Fund (“Fund”) lagged its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index(1). The Index returned 18.92% for the period, while the Fund returned 5.22% to A shares investors( 2) (after the front-end sales charge) and 11.62% to I shares investors. The Average Small-Cap Growth Peer returned 15.91% during the period.

Industrials were a strong point of performance. We were slightly overweight the sector, which had strong returns for the 12-month period. Airline and marine shipping-oriented companies were highlights.

For much of the 12-month period, stocks with little or no earnings growth fared best, while issues with growth expectations performed the worst. The market swung from favoring high-risk, speculative securities to those in a defensive position against a slowing economy. As our portfolio is tilted to higher return on equity and higher revenue growth names, neither of these environments was in harmony with our portfolio positioning. In general, it was a very difficult environment for active managers.

Financials were the hardest hit area. Issue selection suffered as short term interest rates rose above longer term rates, impairing banks’ ability to pay lower amounts to depositors while lending money at a higher rate. Especially hard hit were thrift and mortgage finance companies, as the outlook on the housing market continued to weaken. Technology also proved a difficult area within the electronic equipment and software industries. The Fund’s underperformance was primarily the result of stock selection in those areas outlined above.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

We are seeing very little dispersion in valuations among small cap equities, and price ranges of stocks are tightening. We also are seeing that the more speculative companies continue to outperform.

A massive amount of investment is moving into passively managed investment vehicles and, as a result, there is less volatility in the overall marketplace.

As valuations become tighter, fundamental factors, such as faster growth or accelerating sales, give us a basis to differentiate stocks. Our goal is to identify companies that are improving fundamentally; over the long-term, they will be rewarded in the market.

We continue to identify those factors that are most predictive of performance; however, we are in a difficult environment. We are noticing that factors have less longevity and offer shorter windows of out performance. We are altering our models to capture this.

Investments in small capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies.

The Fund does not offer Class B Shares, so Class A Share performance is utilized and reflects Class A Shares’ maximum sales charge.

MULTI-FACTOR SMALL CAP FOCUSED VALUE FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Hitesh Patel, Ph.D.

Director,

Structured Equity Strategies

How did small cap value stocks perform over the last year?

Though small caps ceded their billing as the top performing asset class during the 12-month period ended May 31, 2007, they still turned in strong returns, with the Russell 2000® up 18.92%. Though lower quality, more speculative small cap securities outperformed in the beginning of the period, the new year marked a return to higher quality, larger companies outperforming. Small cap value stocks outperformed small cap growth stocks (Russell 2000® Value vs. Growth).

Small cap performance relative to large caps remained strong in 2006, but as U.S. economic growth has slowed, small caps have suffered due to their lower proportion of international sales.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, Allegiant’s Multi-Factor Small Cap Focused Value Fund (“Fund”) returned 6.66% to A shares investors(2) (after the front-end sales charge) and 13.18% to I shares investors while the Russell 2000® Value Index(1) (“Index”) returned 20.28%. The Average Small-Cap Core Peer returned 17.69% during the period.

The Fund was overweight Consumer Staples which had a positive impact, as did the overweight and security selection within Industrials.

The market backdrop worked against actively-managed funds and stocks with little or no earnings growth fared best, while issues with growth expectations, such as we own, performed worst. The market swung from favoring high-risk, speculative securities to those in a defensive position against a slowing economy. Neither of these environments was in harmony with the Fund’s portfolio positioning, which favored companies with higher growth rates and return on equity. In general, it was a very difficult environment for actively-managed funds.

The Fund was both underweight a strong performing sector and had a negative selection effect within our chemicals and metals/mining positions. In addition, Materials was particularly hard hit. Security selection within Healthcare also adversely impacted performance. We were overweight the sector, which had a positive impact, but holdings in providers and services traded down.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

While the global sell-off on February 27 would seem to scare investors, we believe quite the opposite has occurred. Given the speed that markets bounced back (and went on to gain new ground), we believe the sell-off may have built up the confidence of investors to continue to add leverage and risk to their portfolios.

Private equity and leveraged buyouts continue to be a huge market force. Firms are being taken private and piled with debt, not dissimilar to what we’ve seen happen in the consumer markets.

Our investment process continues to focus on identifying the factors we believe are most predictive of future performance, with valuation and fundamentals as the cornerstone of the model. Our portfolios are higher quality than the benchmark, and we focus on identifying companies with higher sales growth and return on equity.

Though lower quality, more speculative small cap securities outperformed in the beginning of the period, the new year marked a return to higher quality, larger companies outperforming.

Small cap performance relative to large caps remained strong in 2006, but as U.S. economic growth has slowed, small caps have suffered due to their lower proportion of international sales.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, Allegiant’s Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund (“Fund”) returned 5.10% to A shares investors(1) (after the front-end sales charge) and 11.45% to I shares investors versus the Russell 2000® Growth Index(2) which returned 17.57% for the period. The Average Small-Cap Growth Peer returned 15.91% during the period.

The Energy sector saw strong returns on the back of superior stock selection in both the equipment/services and oil/gas industries.

For much of the 12-month period, stocks with little or no earnings growth fared best, while issues with growth expectations performed the worst. The market swung from favoring high-risk, speculative securities to those in a defensive position against a slowing economy. Neither of these environments was in harmony with the Fund, which favored companies with higher growth rates and return on equity. In general, it was a very difficult environment for actively-managed funds.

Technology proved especially difficult, as we were underweight the sector as a whole, especially in the strong-performing communication equipment and software industries. The Fund’s underperformance was primarily the result of stock selection in those areas outlined above.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

We are seeing very little dispersion in valuations among small cap equities, and price ranges of stocks are tightening. We are also seeing that the more speculative companies continue to outperform.

A massive amount of investment is moving into passive vehicles and, as a result, there is less volatility in the overall marketplace.

As valuations become tighter, fundamental factors, such as faster growth or accelerating sales, give us a basis to differentiate stocks. Our goal is to identify companies that are improving fundamentally; over the long term, they will be rewarded in the market.

We continue to identify those factors we believe are most predictive of performance; however, we are in a difficult environment. We are noticing that factors have less longevity and offer shorter windows of out performance. We are altering our models to capture this.

MULTI-FACTOR SMALL CAP VALUE FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Hitesh Patel, Ph.D.

Director,

Structured Equity Strategies

How did small cap value stocks perform over the last year?

Though small caps ceded their billing as the top performing asset class over the 12-month period ended May 31, 2007, they still turned in strong returns, with the Russell 2000® up 18.92%. Though lower quality, more speculative small cap securities outperformed in the beginning of the period, the new year marked a return to higher quality, larger companies outperforming. Small cap value stocks outperformed small cap growth stocks (Russell 2000® Value versus Growth).

Small cap performance relative to large caps remained strong in 2006, but as U.S. economic growth has slowed, small caps have suffered due to their lower proportion of international sales.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund (“Fund”) posted returns of 3.76% for B shares investors(1) and 9.33% for I shares investors while the Russell 2000® Value Index(2) (“Index”) returned 20.28%. The Average Small-Cap Value Peer returned 18.76% during the period.

Consumer Staples was an area of positive performance impact, driven by an overweight to the sector and strong security selection.

For much of the 12-month period, stocks with little or no earnings growth faired the best, while issues with growth expectations performed the worst. High dividend payers and more defensive issues also performed well at periods throughout the last 12 months. While our process identifies stocks with valuation levels similar to the benchmark, we also focus on those securities with strong earnings and sales growth and those delivering higher return on equity relative to their index peers.

Materials was among the most difficult areas for the Fund, as we were both underweight a strong performing sector and also struggled in our security selection versus the index. Metals/mining and chemical holdings were particularly hard hit. Our overweight to specialty retail within Consumer Discretionary also impacted performance, as several names posted disappointing results.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

While the global sell-off on February 27 would seem to scare investors, we believe quite the opposite has occurred. Given the speed that markets bounced back (and went on to gain new ground), we believe the sell-off may have built up the confidence of investors to continue to add leverage and risk to their portfolios.

Private equity and leveraged buyouts continue to be a huge market force. Firms are being taken private and piled with debt, not dissimilar to what we’ve seen happen in the consumer markets. Our investment process continues to focus on identifying the factors we believe are most predictive of future performance, with valuation and fundamentals as the cornerstone of the model. Our portfolios are higher quality than the benchmark, and we focus on identifying companies with higher sales growth and return on equity.

S & P 500® INDEX FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Hitesh Patel, Ph.D.

Director,

Structured Equity Strategies

How did S&P 500® stocks perform over the last year?

Equity securities, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, performed well during the 12-month period ended May 31, 2007 as global growth buoyed U.S. stock performance, particularly among large cap securities. For the first quarter of 2007, earnings came in significantly higher than estimates with median year-over-year earnings for the S&P 500® up 10.2%, over 3.5% higher than analysts’ estimates. Dollar weakness and increased pricing power accounted for strong corporate earnings.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

The S&P 500® Index Fund (“Fund”) returned 16.26% to B shares investors(1) and 22.53% to I shares investors during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007. The S&P 500® Index (2) (“Index”), the Fund’s benchmark, returned 22.79% during the same period. The Average S&P 500® Index Peer returned 22.07% during the period.

Sector performance has been strong across the board, but the best-performing areas have come from the smallest sectors in the benchmark. Utilities and Telecommunication Services, both holding weights below 4% in the S&P 500® Index, have had 12-month returns of 35.8% and 49.8%, respectively. The ‘worst’ performing sectors over the last 12 months include Consumer Staples and Health Care, but both were up over 19%.

Following the sell-off of equity markets around the world in late February 2007, volatility of the equity markets and the S&P 500® moved up considerably, but the long-term trend still tends towards lower-than-average volatility. Stocks have been moving in tandem, with very little differentiation in returns across sectors. As well, we have seen risk premiums in all asset classes and around the world move lower, as evidenced by tight corporate and high yield spreads and the out performance of lower quality equity securities.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

Going into the second half of 2007, we believe the economy will continue to moderate, but low interest rates, full employment, and strong balance sheets will support another year of growth. We believe equities will continue to post strong relative performance given reasonable current valuations, easy access to inexpensive capital, and higher organic growth rates. The S&P 500® is poised for stronger growth relative to smaller market capitalizations given their cheap valuations and accelerating growth.

SMALL CAP CORE FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Gordon A. Johnson

Senior Portfolio

Manager

LOGO

How did small cap core stocks perform over the last year?

Though small caps ceded their billing as the top performing asset class during the 12-month period ended May 31, 2007, they still turned in strong returns, with the Russell 2000® up 18.92%. Though lower quality, more speculative small cap securities outperformed in the beginning of the period, the new year marked a return to higher quality, larger companies outperforming. Small cap value stocks outperformed small cap growth stocks (Russell 2000® Value versus Growth).

Small cap performance relative to large caps remained strong in 2006, but as U.S. economic growth has slowed, small caps have suffered due to their lower proportion of international sales.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Small Cap Core Fund (“Fund”) returned 9.63% to B shares investors(1) and 15.65% to I shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000® Index(2) (the “Index”) returned 18.92% during the same period. The Average Small-Cap Core Peer returned 17.69% during the period.

Financials were among the Fund’s strongest areas, given its overweight to the capital markets and consumer finance industries. The Fund’s overweight to Technology also offset our struggles in Industrials. While lower quality small cap stocks dominated over the majority of the last 12 months, early 2007 saw a reversal of this pattern with higher quality companies leading the market. This has benefited our portfolio and should continue to do so.

The markets spent the majority of the 12-month period rotating between riskier and more conservative sectors and securities, much to the detriment of Fund performance. Combined with massive flows into small cap exchange traded funds, these created difficult headwinds for actively managed funds focused on fundamentals.

As fears of a housing slowdown spread, we sold positions in building products companies. The Fund’s holdings in the Industrials sector were the driving reason behind its underperformance for the period. As well, our Transportation positions faced rising fuel costs and negative price shocks.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

While we believe earnings expectations for small caps as a whole are too high, we recognize that small caps have higher growth potential than larger cap companies. As for future expectations, we believe small caps will benefit whether or not the Fed cuts rates.

Though many have argued that large caps will outperform small caps due to cheaper valuations, a weaker dollar, and the end of an extended small cap rally, we do not believe this will necessarily hold true. It is possible to construct a small cap portfolio with securities bearing both attractive valuations and strong growth prospects. Private equity and the continued upsurge in M&A activity are also positive for the cap range. Many of the overvalued small cap securities remain within the riskier and more speculative tranches of the index, resulting from the massive inflows into unmanaged small cap exchange traded funds that we’ve seen over the last two years.

We believe valuations do still matter over time; however, small caps have better growth prospects. We remain vigilant to the potential downside moves of the market; at that time, valuations, cash flow, and growth rates drive returns and protect on the downside. We remain positioned in those companies offering strong growth rates, well-run businesses, and niche products, and which are trading at attractive valuations.

Investments in small capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies.

SMALL CAP GROWTH FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Hitesh Patel, Ph.D.

Director,

Structured Equity Strategies

LOGO

How did small cap growth stocks perform over the last year?

Though small caps ceded their billing as the top performing asset class over the 12-month period ended May 31, 2007, they still turned in strong returns, with the Russell 2000® up 18.92%. Though lower quality, more speculative small cap securities outperformed in the beginning of the period, the new year marked a return to higher quality, larger companies outperforming. Small cap value stocks outperformed small cap growth stocks (Russell 2000® Value versus Growth).

Small cap performance relative to large caps remained strong in 2006, but as U.S. economic growth has slowed, small caps have suffered due to their lower proportion of international sales.

What factors impacted the Fund’s performance?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Allegiant Small Cap Growth Fund (“Fund”) returned 5.30% to B shares investors(1) and 11.47% to I shares investors versus its benchmark, the Russell 2000® Growth Index(2), which returned 17.57%. The Average Small-Cap Growth Peer returned 15.91% during the period.

The Energy sector saw strong returns on the back of superior stock selection in both the equipment/services and oil/gas industries.

For much of the 12-month period, stocks with little or no earnings growth fared best, while issues with growth expectations performed the worst. The market swung from favoring high-risk, speculative securities to those in a defensive position against a slowing economy. Neither of these environments was in harmony with the positioning of the Fund, which favored companies with higher growth rates and return on equity. In general, it was a very difficult environment for actively managed portfolios.

Technology proved especially difficult, as we were underweight the sector as a whole, especially in the strong-performing communication equipment and software industries. The Fund’s underperformance was primarily the result of stock selection in those areas outlined above.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

We are seeing very little dispersion in valuations among small cap equities, and the price ranges of stocks are tightening. We also are seeing that the more speculative companies continue to outperform.

A massive amount of investment is moving into passively managed investment vehicles and, as a result, there is less volatility in the overall marketplace.

As valuations become tighter, fundamental factors, such as faster growth or accelerating sales, give us a basis to differentiate stocks. Our goal is to identify companies that are improving fundamentally; over the long-term, they will be rewarded in the market.

We continue to identify those factors we believe are most predictive of performance; however, we are in a difficult environment. We are noticing that factors have less longevity and offer shorter windows of out performance. We are altering our models to capture this.

Total returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees. Returns also reflect a current voluntary waiver. Without such a fee waiver, performance of the Fund would have been lower. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, certain performance information includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception.

Allegiant Asset Allocation Fund

BALANCED ALLOCATION FUND OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Brian L. Stine,

CFA

Investment Strategist

LOGO

How did the asset allocation Fund perform over the last year?

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Balanced Allocation Fund (“Fund”) returned 10.64% to B shares investors(1) and 16.68% to I shares investors. The Fund’s benchmark(c), a 60/40 hybrid of the S&P 500® Index(a) and the Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Fund(b) (“Index”), returned 16.34% during the same period. The Average Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Peer returned 14.98% during the period.

What Factors Affected the Fund’s Performance?

Equity securities, as measured by the S&P 500® Index, have had a strong 12-month period of performance as global growth buoyed U.S. stock performance, particularly among large cap securities. For the first quarter of 2007, earnings came in significantly higher than estimates with median year-over-year earnings for the S&P 500® up 10.2%, over 3.5% higher than analysts’ estimates. Dollar weakness and increased pricing power accounted for strong corporate earnings.

In the fixed income markets, volatility remains low, credit spreads tight, and the yield curve inverted. Treasuries sold off at the end of the 12-month period as solid economic fundamentals, potential diversification of international capital, and duration-selling from mortgage servicers combined to drive the movement in rates.

The Fund’s overweight positions in equities and international, as well as minor asset class holdings and manager performance, contributed positively to returns for the 12-month period.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

P/E ratios remain low from a historical perspective, and relatively low P/E ratios, combined with global economic growth, should be positive for the equity markets. A “Goldilocks” path for the economy, just enough growth balancing tame inflation, could set the stage for P/E expansion.

Global growth, led by the developing (emerging) countries, should continue to exceed domestic growth. The European economy has been a welcome surprise. Nevertheless, it is difficult to envision European growth expectations getting any better. Given how high expectations have risen, there appears to be more relative downside than upside risk to European markets from here. We remain neutral on international.

Bonds remain somewhat unattractive, when compared to cash on an income or yield basis, and only seem to “make sense” if the economy is headed toward a hard landing. Hence we are underweight fixed income.

We continue to recommend market exposure to both value and growth. While some commonly referenced metrics do suggest growth is currently attractive relative to value, increased globalization has blurred some of the distinctions between styles. We recommend neutral exposure to small cap, with 5% equity overweight allocated to large cap.

Asset allocation cannot guarantee a profit or prevent a loss. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. International investments are subject to special risks not ordinarily associated with domestic investments, including currency fluctuations, economic and political change and differing accounting standards that may adversely affect portfolio securities. Investments in small and mid capitalization companies present greater risk of loss than investments in large companies.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Allegiant Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the International Equity Fund, Large Cap Core Equity Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Multi-Factor Mid Cap Growth Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Focused Value Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund, S&P 500 Index Fund, Small Cap Core Fund, Small Cap Growth Fund, and Balanced Allocation Fund (the “Funds”) (14 of the portfolios constituting the Allegiant Funds) and the statement of assets and liabilities of the Mid Cap Value Fund as of May 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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 and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 above listed Funds at May 31, 2007, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Allegiant Equity and Asset Allocation Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2007

1. Fund Organization

Allegiant Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 28, 1986. As of May 31, 2007, the Trust offered for sale shares of 30 Funds. Each of the Funds is authorized to issue various classes of shares. Each share class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and is substantially the same in all respects, except that the classes are subject to different distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees, sales charges and investment minimums. With respect to the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds, Class I Shares are sold without a sales charge; Class A Shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge; and Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges may be reduced or waived under certain circumstances. Class B Shares are no longer offered except in connection with dividend reinvestments and permitted exchanges.

Effective May 19, 2006, Class R Shares were no longer offered in any of the Allegiant Funds. Class R shareholders redeemed or exchanged their Shares prior to May 19.

On September 26, 2006, the Board of Trustees unanimously voted to liquidate the Aggressive Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds effective December 14, 2006. Effective November 1, 2006, those Funds ceased offering their Shares for sale and were liquidated on December 14, 2006.

The Trust currently offers five asset categories that consist of the following Funds (each referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”):

Equity Funds

International Equity Fund, Large Cap Core Equity Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Multi-Factor Mid Cap Growth Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Focused Value Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund, S&P 500® Index Fund, Small Cap Core Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund;

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds.

Investment Valuation

Investment securities of the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds that are listed on a securities exchange or quoted on a national market system, and for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last quoted sales price at the official close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). Securities quoted on the NASD National Markets system are valued at the official closing price. Other securities traded on over-the-counter markets are valued on the basis of their closing over-the-counter bid prices. If, in the case of a security that is valued at last sale, there is no such reported sale, these securities (particularly fixed income securities) and unlisted securities for which market quotations are not readily available, are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. However, certain fixed income prices furnished by pricing services may be based on methods which include consideration of yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The pricing services may also employ electronic data processing techniques and matrix systems to determine value. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less when purchased are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant accretion of discount or amortization of premium to maturity. If this method is determined to be unreliable during certain market conditions or for other reasons, a Fund may value its securities at market price or fair value prices may be determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees. Short-term obligations with greater than 60 days to maturity when purchased, are valued at mark-to-market until the 60th day before maturity; then valued at amortized cost to maturity.

Short term investments held as collateral for loaned securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Foreign securities are valued based upon quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not calculate net asset value. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of the Fund.

Investments in underlying Allegiant Funds or in any other mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those Funds each business day.

The Board of Trustees has approved and regularly reviews fair value pricing methods to be used in determining the good faith value of the investments of the Funds in the event that market quotations are not readily available or, if available, do not reflect the impact of certain market events. Fair valuation most commonly occurs with foreign securities. Significant events (e.g., movement in the U.S. securities market, or other regional and local developments) may occur between the time that foreign markets close (where the security is principally traded) and the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”) (generally, the close of the NYSE) that may impact the value of securities traded in these foreign markets. In these cases, information furnished by an independent pricing service may be utilized to adjust closing market prices of certain foreign common stocks to reflect their fair value. Because the frequency of significant events is not predictable, fair valuation of certain securities may occur on a frequent basis. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security.

 

94


Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. As is normal procedure in the mutual fund industry, for days other than financial reporting period ends, investment transactions not settling on the same day are recorded and factored into a fund’s net asset value on the business day following trade date (T+1). Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective investments. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified. The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which they invest with respect to their investments in issuers existing or operating in such countries. Such taxes are generally based on income earned. The Funds accrue such taxes when the related income is earned. Expenses common to all the Funds in the Trust are allocated among the Funds on the basis of average net assets. Distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees relating to a specific Class are charged directly to that Class. Expenses common to all Classes, investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each Class based upon the relative daily net assets of each Class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income of the Large Cap Core Equity, Large Cap Value, S&P 500 ® Index and Balanced Allocation Funds, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Dividends from net investment income of the International Equity, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Multi-Factor Mid Cap Growth, Multi-Factor Small Cap Core, Multi-Factor Small Cap Focused Value, Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth, Multi-Factor Small Cap Value, Small Cap Core and Small Cap Growth Funds, if any, are declared and paid annually. Any net realized capital gains will be distributed at least annually by each of the Funds. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translation

The books and records of the International Equity and Balanced Allocation Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars as follows: (1) the foreign currency market values of investment securities and other assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period; and (2) purchases, sales and income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement from foreign currency transactions are reported in the Statement of Operations for the current period. The International Equity and Balanced Allocation Funds do not isolate the portion of gains and losses on investments which is due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to fluctuations in the market prices of investments.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

Certain Funds enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. A Fund realizes gains or losses at the time the forward contracts are extinguished. Such contracts, which are designed to protect the value of the Fund’s investment securities against a decline in the value of the hedged currency, do not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities; they simply establish an exchange rate at a future date. Although such contracts tend to minimize risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a hedged currency, at the same time they tend to limit any potential gain that might be realized should the value of such foreign currency increase. At May 31, 2007, there were no open forward foreign currency contracts in the Funds.

Allegiant Equity and Asset Allocation Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2007

Futures Contracts

Certain Funds may enter into futures contracts for the purpose of managing exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates and currency values. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. The daily change in the contract is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed. Details of futures contracts open on May 31, 2007 are included in the respective Fund’s Statement of Net Assets.

There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts including the risk of loss in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Net Assets to the extent of total notional value. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in value of the investments held by the Fund. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

The Balanced Allocation Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis for the purpose of enhancing its yield. These transactions (principally in mortgage-backed securities referred to as TBA’s or To Be Announced and COP’s or Certificates of Participation) involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered. The Fund may sell mortgage-backed TBA securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contract to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities at an agreed upon price for future settlement. The Fund accounts for such transactions as purchases and sales at the commitment date and maintains liquid, high-grade securities in an amount at least equal to the commitment to repurchase.

Swap Agreements

The Balanced Allocation Fund may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing its exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk. Swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount (a total return swap). To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, the Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized at contract stipulated reset dates and/or upon termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the Fund’s custodian or counterparty’s broker in compliance with swap contract provisions. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statement of Net Assets. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. There were no open swap agreements at year end.

3. Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Fees

5. Federal Income Taxes

Each of the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds is classified as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes and intends to continue to qualify as a separate “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite distributions to shareholders that will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income tax and Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal tax provision is required.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature, and are primarily due to wash sales, foreign currency losses, “mark to market” of certain futures contracts and Passive Foreign Investment Company (“PFIC”) stock, write-off of unusable capital loss carryforwards, and dividends deemed paid upon shareholder redemption of fund shares. The character and timing of dividends and/or distributions made during the year from net investment income and/or net realized capital gains may differ from the year that the income or realized capital gains (losses) were recorded by the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds. To the extent any of these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences have been reclassified to/from the following accounts for the year ended May 31, 2007:

7. Market and Credit Risk

Some countries in which certain of the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds may invest require government approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities exchanges in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by a Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant proportion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets are held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by a Fund.

The Balanced Allocation Fund may invest in securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. Prepayment of these loans may shorten the stated maturity of these respective obligations and may result in a loss.

Each Equity and Asset Allocation Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of some of these securities may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to dispose of such securities in a timely manner and at a fair price.

8. Securities Lending

To generate additional income, the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds (excluding International Equity Fund) may lend their domestic securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Union Bank of California (“UBOC”), the domestic securities lending agent. In addition, the International Equity and Balanced Allocation Funds, effective June 27, 2006 and July 11, 2006, respectively, may lend their international securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement with PFPC Trust Co., the international securities lending agent. The Funds may lend up to 50% of the securities in which they are invested requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities, shares of an investment trust or mutual fund, or any combination of cash and such securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities loaned. The lending Funds continue to earn interest and dividends on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn interest on the investment of collateral. The domestic lending Funds receive 70% and the international lending Funds receive 75% of the gross income earned comprised of interest received on the collateral net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by UBOC and PFPC Trust Co., respectively.

There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to borrowers deemed by the Adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the lending Funds or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.

9. In Kind Redemptions

During the year ended May 31, 2007, Large Cap Growth and Large Cap Value Funds distributed securities in lieu of cash for a Class I shareholder redemption. The respective shareholder received a pro-rata portion of Large Cap Growth and Large Cap Value Funds’ investments. The value of the redemptions was as follows:

 

     Value of
the Redemption
   Net Realized
Gain Included
in Redemption
   Shares
Redeemed

Large Cap Growth Fund

   $ 13,338,901    $ 381,024    663,627

Large Cap Value Fund

     13,809,240      678,543    687,027

The net realized gain from these transactions was not taxable to the Funds. Such gains were not distributable to shareholders and were reclassified to paid-in capital. These transactions were executed following guidelines approved by the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

10. Indemnification

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is immaterial. The Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote pursuant to the contracts.

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This pronouncement provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, classification, and disclosures related to uncertain tax positions, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the Funds required to implement FIN 48 in the NAV calculation by November 30, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“Statement 157”). Statement 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Statement 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 157 to have an impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

12. Regulatory Matters

On October 11, 2006, the Adviser was notified that the Pacific Regional Office of the SEC is conducting an examination concerning marketing budget arrangements with entities that provide administrative services to the Trust. NCB and the Adviser are cooperating fully with the SEC in that examination. The Adviser provided its initial response to the SEC on January 12, 2007 and subsequently provided follow-up written responses. At this stage of the investigation, the Adviser is not able to predict the outcome of this examination. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has established a committee comprising independent members of the Board of Trustees to monitor this matter on behalf of the Board.

REPORT FROM ALLEGIANT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY

“...the Fed established a holding pattern with the federal funds rate at 5.25%.”

Review

The markets spent most of the past fiscal year focused on the Federal Reserve Board, which, despite widespread speculation of impending interest rate cuts, took no such action. Rather, the Fed established a holding pattern with the federal funds rate at 5.25%. Despite the inaction, interest rate speculation remained intense as debate centered on competing fears of a slowing economy and rising inflation.

The housing market recession was dominant among fears of an excessive economic slow-down. Previous years of abnormally low interest rates combined with a dramatic relaxation of underwriting standards and increased speculation resulted in widely overvalued market conditions. As interest rates trended higher and affordability trended lower, however, demand collapsed, prices weakened, and credit problems multiplied.

Fortunately, the rest of the economy held up well. Sustained by healthy job and income gains, and rising net worth, the stalwart American consumer showed little evidence of retrenchment aside from episodic set-backs driven by energy price spikes. Commercial construction activity remained buoyant due to falling vacancy rates and foreign trade improved due to strong growth abroad and a declining value of the dollar.

Eventually, the economy’s resilience gave way to inflationary angst. Commodity prices remained stubbornly high and “core” measures of inflation exceeded the ranges preferred by Federal Reserve officials.

Fixed Income

The fixed income market over the last year was marked by a flat-to-inverted yield curve, historically low spreads, and low volatility. As calendar 2006 drew to an end, bond yields increased due to a combination of favorable economic readings and persistently unacceptable inflation. Still, given low market risk premiums and low interest rates, bonds performed well across all sectors.

Interest rate volatility declined throughout the year, as the Fed remained on hold and interest rates traded in a fairly narrow range. Nonetheless, the subprime crisis and an associated surge in delinquencies and defaults did affect lower quality segments of the mortgage market. Conversely, the U.S. agency component of the mortgage-backed market was affected very little.

“The fixed income market over the last year was marked by a flat-to-inverted yield curve, historically low spreads, and low volatility.”

Within the corporate component of the bond markets, spreads traded historically tight on the back of robust cash flows and higher-than-expected earnings. Growing concerns over domestic economic weakness coupled with housing-related problems have weighed on the corporate market in 2007, slightly widening spreads. Nevertheless, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index finished the year ended May 31, 2007, by returning 7.36%.

The volatility across equity markets in late February 2007 carried over to the bond markets, as investors sought higher quality Treasuries, pushing yields down. Yields soon reversed direction and began to tick upward due to concerns over waning foreign interest in Treasury holdings, strong growth abroad, and renewed inflation pressures.

Equities

The stock market kept a hopeful eye on the Fed and reached new highs, predicated on the expectation of a “Goldilocks scenario” nurtured by lower interest rates. In late February, however, global markets sold off following a 10% drop in the Chinese exchange and emerging evidence of subprime mortgage difficulties. The decline was short-lived as favorable liquidity, strong global growth and better-than-expected earnings provided welcome tailwinds to rising markets worldwide.

U.S. corporations continued to generate robust earnings growth, fueled by their continued global expansion. For the first time, companies in the S&P 500® Index will generate over 50% of their sales abroad. The robust economic growth of China, developing economies, and Europe, combined with a weak U.S. dollar, helped offset results from domestic operations.

Merger and acquisition activity also surged and record levels of equity buy-backs further buoyed the market, each supported by still-low interest rates and cash-rich balance sheets. Private equity firms enjoyed record inflows as appetites for “alternative” investments remained strong.

Stock market returns for the year ended May 31, 2007, were stellar. The S&P 500® reached a new high in late May and returned 22.79%, while the Russell 2000® returned 18.92%. Large cap stocks finally outperformed small cap, and value continued to top growth.* International developed markets (MSCI EAFE®) returned 26.84%, while emerging markets (MSCI EM®) returned 38.16%.**

Telecomm dominated all sectors, returning 49.80% for the year. Utilities returned 35.99%, followed by energy at 28.45%. Industrials and consumer staples lagged the overall market at 16.81% and 18.76%, respectively.

What’s Ahead?

The preoccupation with higher inflation and slower economic growth remains in place. Energy and food costs continue to trend higher and recent declines in core inflation are tenuous. Meanwhile, the housing market remains precarious. Together, it is possible that these vulnerabilities could move the U.S. economy dangerously close to recession. However, the Fed maintains that moderate economic growth (GDP below the economy’s full potential) will allow inflation pressures to gradually abate, and the economy will slowly recover without further action on its part.

Allegiant Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds

REPORT FROM ALLEGIANT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Though 2007 first quarter earnings were significantly above consensus, much of the resilience was fueled by strong foreign sales, an increase in corporate pricing power, and the benefits that a weak U.S. dollar has on currency translation effects. Nonetheless, profits are clearly on a slowing trajectory as rising labor, commodity and financing costs continue to squeeze margins. Additionally, the Treasury market shows enduring worries that inflation is not abating, which could take a serious toll on both equities and the housing markets.

That said, U.S. corporations are enjoying high margins, strong cash flows, and stable balance sheets that allow them considerable flexibility. Interest rates remain relatively low and domestic growth, though slowed, has not turned negative. The U.S. economy is now a global one, and the world markets will significantly impact its future.

In closing, thank you for the trust you have placed with us. You are truly our most valuable asset.

OVERVIEW

Guarantees by the U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities relate only to the payment of principal or interest of the portfolio securities and not the shares of the Fund. An investment in the Fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the Fund’s yield will decline due to falling interest rates. The value of debt securities may be affected by the ability of issuers to make principal and interest payments. Although U.S. government securities are considered to be among the safest investments, they are not guaranteed against price movements due to changing interest rates.

How did the taxable fixed income market perform over the last year?

As the 12-month period began, bond market yields declined as inflation expectations moderated and an unambiguous softening of the housing market lowered future GDP forecasts. The data dependent Federal Reserve Bank halted consecutive target Fed Fund rate increases in August. Low interest rates and a continuation of inexpensive risk premiums in the market, combined with moderating inflation, contributed to strong returns across all sectors of fixed income. Corporate spreads remained narrow by historical standards, but could be supported by strong balance sheets and expectations of a soft landing.

Though inflation data was reported lower than expected in late 2006, rates rose across the curve as stronger economic data was released and the housing market appeared to pass its trough. Volatility remained low and corporate spreads tight.

As the new year started, weakness in Chinese equity markets, combined with a deteriorating subprime market and weaker economic data, led to a flight to quality for Treasuries, which drove yields down. This immediately translated to increased implied volatility for both equity and interest rate markets, though it was quickly reversed.

In May, the Treasury markets began to sell off, as solid economic fundamentals, potential diversification of international capital, and duration-selling from mortgage servicers combined to drive rates higher.

What factors impacted performance of the Funds?

The new year began with Treasury yields rising to the 4.90% to 5% range across the curve on the heels of strong December economic data, including resurgence in retail sales, stabilization in housing, and pickup in employment. In February, a flight-to-quality bid for Treasuries knocked yields down to the 4.40% to 4.50% range by mid-March. The rally was dominated on the short end of the curve in anticipation of Fed easing and the curve steepened.

The flight to quality in late February immediately translated into increased implied volatility for equity markets measured by (VIX®) and interest rate markets measured by (LBPX), as both measures rose significantly, reflecting a heightened perception of risk which had been largely absent in both markets.* The implied volatility was short-lived, as both measures reverted back to their averages by the end of March.

Swap spreads have widened year-to-date in response to increased volatility and uncertainty regarding credit fundamentals, though they too have trended back from the volatility spike in early March. Credit markets remain strong due to low interest rates, low volatility, attractive tax regimes, abundant liquidity and thriving investor demand. Signs of deterioration are becoming evident as corporate earnings slow, stock buybacks surge, and lax loan covenants are spreading. The Funds were not directly exposed to subprime issuer mortgage holdings; therefore, any impact felt in this area would be on a macro level should credit tighten.

Allegiant Bond Fund

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned 0.43% to B shares investors(1) and 6.47% to I shares investors relative to the Lehman U.S. Aggregate Bond Index(2) which returned 6.66%. The Average Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Peer returned 6.08% during the period. The Fund performance was favorably driven by active duration/curve management amidst neutral fed policy action and oscillating Treasury yields. Returns also were affected favorably by year-end settlement proceedings from investments made earlier in the decade. Finally, a structural underweight to corporate bonds and overweight to Treasuries served as detractors to relative performance, as volatility remained low and credit spreads tight.

Allegiant Government Mortgage Fund

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned 0.50% to B shares investors(1) and 6.42% to I shares investors compared to the index which returned 7.05%. The Average U.S. Government Mortgage Peer returned 5.97% during the period. Performance relative to the Lehman Fixed Rate Mortgage-Backed Securities Index(2) was favorably driven by tactical duration management and underweight to underperforming Ginnie Mae MBS.

Allegiant Intermediate Bond Fund

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned (0.58)% to B shares investors(1) and 5.55% to I shares investors compared to the index which returned 5.90%. The Average Short-Intermediate Investment Grade Debt Peer returned 5.11% during the period. Performance relative to Lehman Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index(2) was favorably driven by active duration/curve management amidst neutral fed policy action and oscillating Treasury yields. Returns were also favorably affected by year-end settlement proceedings from investments made earlier in the decade. Finally, a structural underweight to corporate bonds and overweight to Treasuries served as detractors to relative performance, as volatility remained low and credit spreads tight.

Allegiant Limited Maturity Bond Fund

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned (0.86)% to B shares investors(1) and 5.17% to I shares investors compared to the index which returned 5.09%. The Average Short Investment Grade Debt Peer returned 4.89% during the period. Performance relative to the Merrill 1-3 Year U.S. Corporate/Government Index (2) was favorably driven by a structural overweight to mortgage- and asset-backed securities and underweight to Treasuries, as volatility remained low and credit spreads tight. Returns also were affected favorably by year-end settlement proceedings from investments made earlier in the decade.

Allegiant Total Return Advantage Fund

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned 0.03% to B shares investors(1) and 6.18% to I shares investors compared to the index which returned 6.47%. The Average A Rated Corporate Debt Peer returned 6.22% during the period. Performance relative to Lehman U.S. Government/Credit Index(2) was favorably driven by active duration/curve management amidst neutral fed policy action and oscillating Treasury yields. Returns also were affected favorably by year-end settlement proceedings from investments made earlier in the decade. Allocation to outperforming High Yield securities provided additional support to relative performance versus the benchmark. Finally, a structural underweight to corporate bonds and overweight to Treasuries served as detractors to relative performance, as volatility remained low and credit spreads tight.

Allegiant Ultra Short Bond Fund

During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned 3.65% to A shares investors(3) and 4.97% to I shares investors compared to the index which returned 4.94%. The Average Short Investment Grade Debt Peer returned 4.89% during the period. Performance relative to the Merrill Lynch 1-Year U.S. Treasury Index(2) was favorably driven by a structural overweight to higher yielding/low-risk spread (non-Treasury) products, as volatility remained low and credit spreads tight.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

We believe the Fed’s options are narrowing because inflation is slightly above its comfort zone. But economic conditions continue to deteriorate, and there is potential for a credit crunch due to the subprime mortgage debacle. While inflation is still considered high, it could come down if an economic decline materializes. But with inflation contained below 3%, the Fed will act to stave off a recession, especially if the job market is being impacted.

We believe the curve will steepen due to the conflict between inflation and slowing growth. Also, increases in uncertainty will lead to increased volatility, which in hand, will give a bid to shorter maturity. This further supports the curve steepening. Credit spreads will continue to be challenged and could widen considerably with worse-than-expected economic or equity performance.

Total returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees. Returns also reflect a current voluntary fee waiver. Without such a fee waiver, performance of the Funds would have been lower. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, certain performance information includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

EXPENSE TABLES

The expenses shown in the Expense Tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), including contingent deferred sales charges, all of which is described in the Prospectus. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” reflects the actual expenses net of fee waivers, where applicable, for the period (December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007), and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the year ended May 31, 2007.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Such expenses, which are deducted from a Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a Fund. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Tables provided on the following pages are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007).

The Expense Table that appears in your Fund’s overview illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

 

Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Class of the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the return used is not your Fund’s actual return — the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Allegiant Tax Exempt Bond Funds

OVERVIEW

May 31, 2007

Cynthia Cole

Senior Portfolio Manager Fixed Income Investment

LOGO

How did the tax exempt fixed income market perform over the past year?

From May to October 2006, light new issuance of municipal bonds, coupled with strong demand and improved financial strength, resulted in superior performance for tax-exempt strategies relative to taxable strategies, even before taking into account tax advantages. The flattening of the tax-exempt yield curves contributed to the return.

New issuance took off in November and December, allowing the municipal issuers to take advantage of the flatter yield curve and lower yields, after the voters approved a record amount of new debt. Meanwhile, demand rose at the end of 2006, as the hurricane season ended without disaster and insurance companies’ demand for municipal bonds increased.

As the New Year started, increased volatility caused the shape of the yield curve to fluctuate. Though flattening continued, the tax-exempt yield curve still had a positive slope. Supply continued at a record pace. As corporate and individual tax payments were due in March and April, respectively, typical selling pressure was experienced. As well, liquidity provided by hedge funds engaging in arbitrage trades decreased as the strategies became less profitable.

What factors impacted the performance of the Funds?

Moody’s recently revised the state of Ohio’s credit outlook to negative from stable. The rating agency noted the state’s long-running economic underperformance as the main reason for the outlook change. If the state’s rating is downgraded from Aa1 to Aa2, the state will be in line with the average state rating.

The municipal market awaited a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on the Kentucky case that challenges the state’s right to tax interest income earned by taxpayers on out-of-state municipal bonds.

Each of Allegiant’s four tax-exempt fixed income funds uses the Lehman 7-year Municipal Bond Index(1) as their benchmark. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the index returned 4.10%.

Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund

Duration extension and state and security selection during the past year were the biggest contributors to performance. Value is added through active state selection, utilizing tax benefits and employing a team-driven process. Shorter duration relative to benchmark early in the fiscal year detracted from relative performance. The Fund continues to maintain a high concentration of high quality securities with no exposure to the Alternative Minimum Tax. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned (2.49%) to B shares investors(2) and 3.55% to I shares investors. The Average Intermediate Muni Debt Peer returned 3.57% during the period.

For the state specific funds, a portfolio manager who has first hand knowledge of that particular state monitors the state’s economic and political environment.

Michigan Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

Duration extension and security selection during the past year were the biggest contributors to performance while the weakening economic condition of the state of Michigan continues to impact overall returns. Shorter duration relative to benchmark early in the fiscal year detracted from relative performance. The Fund continues to maintain a high concentration of high quality securities with no exposure to the Alternative Minimum Tax. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned (2.42%) to B shares investors(2) and 3.48% to I shares investors. The Average Other State Intermediate Muni Debt Peer returned 3.50% during the period.

Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund

The slow manufacturing environment continues to challenge the state’s economic outlook so the Fund focused on high quality securities with no exposure to the Alternative Minimum Tax. Duration extension and security selection during the past year were the biggest contributors to performance. Shorter duration relative to benchmark early in the fiscal year detracted from relative performance. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned (2.31%) to B shares investors(2) and 3.69% to I shares investors. The Average OH Intermediate Muni Debt Peer returned 2.98% during the period.

 


(1)

The Index is not available for direct investment. Unlike a mutual fund, the performance of an index assumes no taxes, transaction costs, investment advisory fees or other expenses. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

(2)

Performance of Class B Shares assumes the deduction of the maximum applicable deferred sales charge on the implied disposal of shares at the end of the period.

(3)

The Fund does not offer Class B Shares, so Class A Share performance is utilized and reflects Class A Shares’ maximum sales charge.

Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund

The state has maintained steady economic performance due to the growth in the service sector. Duration extension and security selection during the past year were the biggest contributors to performance. Shorter duration relative to benchmark early in the fiscal year detracted from relative performance. The Fund continues to maintain a high concentration of high quality securities with no exposure to the Alternative Minimum Tax. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2007, the Fund returned 0.51% to A shares investors(3) and 3.89% to I shares investors. The Average PA Intermediate Muni Debt Peer returned 3.59% during the period.

What are your thoughts going into the next 12 months?

The municipal market will be confronted by several headwinds:

 

   

Supply has been at a near-record pace in 2007. Municipal issuance increased 53.7% in the last 7 months versus the same period a year ago. The state of California was the largest issuer. The pace is expected to slow down during the summer and resume again this fall.

 

   

A record number of taxpayers fell into the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) category from the 2006 tax year. If no changes are made to the tax code, more taxpayers are expected to enter AMT. Since 2008 is a presidential election year, tax reform is expected to be minimal.

 

   

Hurricane season began on June 1st. Last year’s hurricane season was uneventful resulting in a profitable period for the insurance companies. Municipal demand will reflect the volatility of the weather, as property and casualty insurers usually sell bonds during high claims periods and buy bonds during low claims periods.

 

   

The municipal market awaits a decision from the U.S. Supreme Court on the Kentucky case that challenges the state’s right to tax interest income earned by taxpayers on out-of-state municipal bonds. If the Supreme Court were to uphold the ruling against Kentucky and Congress were not to intervene, individual states would have to treat in-state and out-of-state municipal bond income equally, with some states potentially taxing all municipal income while other states possibly exempting all municipal income.

 

   

With corporate income tax payments due in March and individual income tax payments in April, typical selling pressure will be experienced in the marketplace.

 

   

Liquidity, provided by hedge funds and arbitrage investors, will vary due to the profitability of municipal arbitrage programs.

Our approach is to focus on the after-tax return and after-tax income generation. Value is added through active state selection in the Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund, utilizing tax benefits and employing a team-driven process. The Funds remain Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) free.

Guarantees, if any, by the municipal issuers, the State of Michigan, the State of Ohio, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, U.S. government, its agencies, or instrumentalities relate only to the payment of principal or interest of the portfolio securities and not the shares of the respective Funds. An investment in a tax exempt fund is subject to interest rate risk, which is the possibility that the yield of the Fund will decline due to falling interest rates. For some investors, income may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT) and/or to state or local taxes. Capital gains are subject to federal, state and local taxes. Economic or political changes may impact the ability of municipal issuers to repay principal and interest payments on securities of the Funds, which may adversely impact the shares of the Funds.

The Funds’ focus on investments in securities located in a single state makes the Funds susceptible to economic, political and regulatory events that affect that state. The Funds are non-diversified, which means that it may invest in securities of relatively few issuers. As a result, the Funds may be more susceptible than a diversified fund to a single adverse economic or political and regulatory occurrence affecting one or more issuers.

Peer group performance is derived from data provided by Lipper Inc.

* The graphs presented here provide hypothetical $10,000 investments in the Funds since their respective dates of inception. The graphs show performance of Class I and Class B Shares only, with the exception of the Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund which presents Class I and Class A Shares. The performance of Class A and Class C Shares (Class C Shares only with respect to the Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund) may be greater or less than that shown in the graphs based on the differences in sales charges and fees paid by the shareholders investing in those Classes. Returns shown on the graphs do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.allegiantfunds.com.

Current performance may be lower or higher than that shown here. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.allegiantfunds.com.

 


(1)

Total returns reflect reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, deduction of applicable sales charge (including the contingent deferred sales charge appropriate to each period), operating expenses and fees. Returns also reflect a current voluntary fee waiver. Without such a fee waiver, performance of the Funds would have been lower. For a share class of the Fund that commenced operations after the inception date of the Fund’s Class I Shares, certain performance information includes the performance of Class I Shares, adjusted to reflect that share class’ fees, expenses and maximum sales charges, through the date of that share class’ inception. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

Performance information prior to June 9, 2000 represents the performance of the Parkstone Michigan Municipal Bond Fund, which was reorganized into the Allegiant Michigan Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund on that date.

Such expenses, which are deducted from a Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a Fund. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Tables provided on the following pages are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007).

The Expense Table that appears in your Fund’s overview illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

 

Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Class of the Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the return used is not your Fund’s actual return — the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of

Trustees of Allegiant Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Bond Fund, Government Mortgage Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Limited Maturity Bond Fund, Total Return Advantage Fund, Ultra Short Bond Fund, Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Michigan Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund, and Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund (the “Funds”) (10 of the portfolios constituting the Allegiant Funds) as of May 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, 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 periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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 and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 above listed Funds at May 31, 2007, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

# Security fully or partially on loan. Total Market Value of Securities on Loan is (000) $184,375.
(A) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. Total market value of Rule 144A securities is (000) $8,414 and represents 2.0% of net assets as of May 31, 2007.
(B) Variable Rate Security — the rate shown is the rate in effect on May 31, 2007.
(C) Par and Value are less than $500.
(D) All or a portion of this position has not settled. Contract rates do not take effect until settlement date. This Loan Agreement has additional unfunded loan commitments. See Note 2.
(E) Loan Agreements in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically predetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at May 31, 2007. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate Loan Agreements often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less that the stated maturity shown.
(F) Security fair valued using methods determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee of the Board of Trustees.
(G) Illiquid Security. Total market value of illiquid securities is (000) $790 and represents 0.2% of net assets as of May 31, 2007.

Allegiant Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2007

1. Fund Organization

Allegiant Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 28, 1986. As of May 31, 2007, the Trust offered for sale shares of 30 Funds. Each of the Funds is authorized to issue various classes of shares. Each share class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and is substantially the same in all respects, except that the classes are subject to different distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees, sales charges and investment minimums. With respect to the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds, Class I Shares are sold without a sales charge; Class A Shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge; and Class C Shares are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges may be reduced or waived under certain circumstances. Class B Shares are no longer offered except in connection with dividend reinvestments and permitted exchanges.

Effective May 19, 2006, Class R Shares were no longer offered in any of the Allegiant Funds. Class R shareholders redeemed or exchanged their Shares prior to May 19.

The Trust currently offers five asset categories that consist of the following Funds (each referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”):

Equity Funds

International Equity Fund, Large Cap Core Equity Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Multi-Factor Mid Cap Growth Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Focused Value Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund, S&P 500® Index Fund, Small Cap Core Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund;

Asset Allocation Fund

Balanced Allocation Fund;

Fixed Income Funds

Bond Fund, Government Mortgage Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Limited Maturity Bond Fund, Total Return Advantage Fund and Ultra Short Bond Fund;

Tax Exempt Bond Funds

Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Michigan Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund and Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund;

Money Market Funds

Government Money Market Fund, Money Market Fund, Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, Tax Exempt Money Market Fund and Treasury Money Market Fund.

The financial statements presented herein are those of the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds. The financial statements of the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds, and the Money Market Funds are not presented herein, but are presented separately.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds.

Investment Valuation

Investment securities of the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds that are listed on a securities exchange or quoted on a national market system, and for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last quoted sales price at the official close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time). Securities quoted on the NASD National Markets system are valued

 

68


at the official closing price. Other securities traded on over-the-counter markets are valued on the basis of their closing over-the-counter bid prices. If, in the case of a security that is valued at last sale, there is no such reported sale, these securities (particularly fixed income securities) and unlisted securities for which market quotations are not readily available, are valued at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices. However, certain fixed income prices furnished by pricing services may be based on methods which include consideration of yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. The pricing services may also employ electronic data processing techniques and matrix systems to determine value. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less when purchased are valued at amortized cost. The amortized cost method values a security at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant accretion of discount or amortization of premium to maturity. If this method is determined to be unreliable during certain market conditions or for other reasons, a Fund may value its securities at market price or fair value prices may be determined in good faith using methods approved by the Board of Trustees. Short term obligations with greater than 60 days to maturity when purchased, are valued at mark-to-market until the 60th day before maturity; then valued at amortized cost to maturity.

Short term investments held as collateral for loaned securities are valued at amortized cost.

Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices.

Foreign securities are valued based upon quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, and are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using current exchange rates. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not calculate net asset value. As a result, the market value of these investments may change on days when you cannot buy or sell shares of the Fund.

Investments in underlying Allegiant Funds or in any other mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds each business day.

The Board of Trustees has approved and regularly reviews fair value pricing methods to be used in determining the good faith value of the investments of the Funds in the event that market quotations are not readily available or, if available, do not reflect the impact of certain market events. When fair value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a Fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are recorded on trade date for financial statement preparation purposes. As is normal procedure in the mutual fund industry, for days other than financial reporting period ends, investment transactions not settling on the same day are recorded and factored into a fund’s net asset value on the business day following trade date (T+1). Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective investments. Expenses common to all the Funds in the Trust are allocated among the Funds on the basis of average net assets. Distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees relating to a specific Class are charged directly to that Class. Expenses common to all Classes, investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each Class based upon the relative daily net assets of each Class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income for each of the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds are declared daily and paid monthly. Any net realized capital gains will be distributed at least annually by each of the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

Certain Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts as hedges against either specific transactions or portfolio positions. All commitments are “marked-to-market” daily at the applicable foreign exchange rate and any resulting unrealized gains or losses are recorded currently. A Fund realizes gains or losses at the time the forward contracts are extinguished. Such contracts, which are designed to protect the value of the Fund’s investment securities against a decline in the value of the hedged currency, do not eliminate fluctuations in the

 

69


Allegiant Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2007

underlying prices of the securities; they simply establish an exchange rate at a future date. Although such contracts tend to minimize risk of loss due to a decline in the value of a hedged currency, at the same time they tend to limit any potential gain that might be realized should the value of such foreign currency increase. Details of forward foreign currency contracts open at period end are included in the respective Fund’s Statements of Net Assets.

Futures Contracts

Certain Funds may enter into futures contracts for the purpose of managing exposure to the securities markets or to movements in interest rates. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or cash equivalents equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. The daily changes in the contract are recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

There are several risks in connection with the use of futures contracts including the risk of loss in excess of the amount recognized in the Statements of Net Assets to the extent of total notional value. The change in value of futures contracts primarily corresponds with the value of their underlying instruments, which may not correlate with the change in value of the investments held by the Fund. In addition, there is the risk that a Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions

For the purpose of enhancing the Fund’s yield, the Bond, Government Mortgage, Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond and Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis. These transactions (principally in mortgage-backed securities referred to as TBA’s or To Be Announced and COP’s or Certificates of Participation) involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered. The Funds may sell mortgage-backed TBA securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contract to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities at an agreed-upon price for future settlement. The Funds account for such transactions as purchases and sales at the commitment date and maintain liquid, high-grade securities in an amount at least equal to the commitment to repurchase.

Loan Agreements

Certain Funds may invest in loan agreements which may be in the form of assignments of all or a portion of loans from third parties. A loan is often administered by a bank or other financial institution (the lender) that acts as agent for all holders. The agent administers the terms of the loan, as specified in the loan agreement. When a Fund purchases assignments from lenders, it acquires direct rights against the borrower on the loan. As a result, a Fund may be subject to the credit risk of the borrower. As of May 31, 2007, the Total Return Advantage Fund has unfunded loan commitments of $51,822 which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the loan agreement.

Swap Agreements

Certain Funds may invest in swaps for the purpose of managing their exposure to interest rate, credit or market risk. Swaps are agreements to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument, for example, the agreement to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount (a total return swap). To the extent the total return of the index exceeds the offsetting interest obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from the counterparty. To the extent it is less, the Fund will make a payment to the counterparty. Periodic payments received or made by the Fund are recorded in the accompanying Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based on dealer-supplied valuations and changes in value are recorded as unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Gains or losses are realized at contract stipulated reset dates and/or upon termination of the swap agreement. Collateral, in the form of cash or securities, may be required to be held in segregated accounts with the Fund’s custodian or counterparty’s broker in compliance with swap contract provisions. Risks may exceed amounts recognized on the Statements of Net Assets. These risks include changes in the returns of the underlying instruments, failure of the counterparties to perform under the contracts’ terms and the possible lack of liquidity with respect to the swap agreements. At May 31, 2007, there were no open swap agreements in the Funds.

Pursuant to the Class I and Class A Shares plan, the Funds reimburse the Distributor for direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with advertising, marketing and other distribution services in an amount not to exceed 0.10% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Class I and Class A Shares. Effective August 1, 2006, the 12b-1 fee accrual rates with respect to Class I and Class A Shares of the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds were reduced from 0.03% to 0.02%, except for the Ultra Short Bond and Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds which were already at 0.02%. Effective January 1, 2007, the 12b-1 fee accrual rates with respect to Class I and Class A Shares of the Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund were further reduced from 0.02% to 0.01%.

Trustees’ Fees

The Trustees are paid for services rendered to all of the Funds and Advantage, which are allocated to the Funds and Advantage based on their average daily net assets. Each Trustee receives an annual fee of $40,000 plus either $4,000 for each combined Board meeting attended in person, or $2,000 for each Board meeting attended telephonically, and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional fee of $25,000 per year and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee of $6,000 per year for their services in these capacities. No person who is an officer, director, trustee, or employee of the Adviser, the Distributor, or any parent or subsidiary thereof, who serves as an officer, trustee, or employee of the Trust or Advantage receives any compensation from the Trust.

Trustees who receive fees are eligible for participation in the Trust’s Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Plan allows each eligible Trustee to defer receipt of all or a percentage of fees that would otherwise be payable for services performed.

Administration Fees

The Trust, PFPC and National City Bank (“NCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, are parties to a Co-Administration and Accounting Services Agreement, pursuant to which PFPC and NCB have agreed to serve as Co-Administrators to the Trust in exchange for fees at the annual rate of 0.06% based on average daily net assets of the Trust’s Funds. For its services as Co-Administrators during the period June 1, 2006 to August 31, 2006, approximately 0.02424% was allocated to PFPC and approximately 0.0358% was allocated to NCB.

5. Federal Income Taxes

Each of the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds is classified as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes and intends to continue to qualify as a separate “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite distributions to shareholders that will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income tax and Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal tax provision is required.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature, and are primarily due to wash sales, paydowns, market discount, swap agreements, and dividends deemed paid upon shareholder redemption of fund shares. The character and timing of dividends and/or distributions made during the year from net investment income and/or net realized capital gains may differ from the year that the income or realized capital gains (losses) were recorded by the Fixed Income and Tax Free Bond Funds. To the extent any of these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences have been reclassified to/from the following accounts for the year ended May 31, 2007:

7. Market and Credit Risk

Some countries in which certain of the Fixed Income Funds may invest require government approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities exchanges in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited.

The Bond, Government Mortgage, Intermediate Bond, Limited Maturity Bond, Total Return Advantage and Ultra Short Bond Funds may invest in securities whose value is derived from an underlying pool of mortgages or consumer loans. Prepayment of these loans may shorten the stated maturity of these respective obligations and may result in a loss.

Allegiant Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2007

Each Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of some of these securities may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to dispose of such securities in a timely manner and at a fair price.

The Michigan Intermediate Municipal Bond, Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond and Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Funds follow an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. The Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund follows an investment policy of investing in municipal obligations of various states which may, at times, comprise concentrations in one or several states. Economic changes affecting each state and related public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the Funds.

Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that the market may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no assurance that the insurance company will meet its obligations. Insured securities have been identified in the Statements of Net Assets.

The rating of long-term debt as a percentage of total value of investments on May 31, 2007, is as follows:

To generate additional income, the Fixed Income Funds may lend their securities pursuant to a securities lending agreement (“Lending Agreement”) with Union Bank of California (“UBOC”), the securities lending agent. The lending Funds may lend up to 50% of securities in which they are invested requiring that the loan be continuously collateralized by cash, U.S. government or U.S. government agency securities, shares of an investment trust or mutual fund, or any combination of cash and such securities as collateral equal at all times to at least 100% of the market value plus accrued interest on the securities loaned. The lending Funds continue to earn interest and dividends on securities loaned while simultaneously seeking to earn interest on the investment of collateral. The lending Funds receive 70% of the income earned which is comprised of interest received on the collateral net of broker rebates and other expenses incurred by UBOC.

There may be risks of delay in recovery of the securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. However, loans will be made only to borrowers deemed by the Adviser to be of good standing and creditworthy under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees and when, in the judgment of the Adviser, the consideration which can be earned currently from such securities loans justifies the attendant risks. Loans are subject to termination by the lending Funds or the borrower at any time, and are, therefore, not considered to be illiquid investments.

9. Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is immaterial. The Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote pursuant to the contracts.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This pronouncement provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, classification, and disclosures related to uncertain tax positions, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the Funds required to implement FIN 48 in the NAV calculation by November 30, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“Statement 157”). Statement 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Statement 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 157 to have an impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

11. Regulatory Matters

On October 11, 2006, the Adviser was notified that the Pacific Regional Office of the SEC is conducting an examination concerning marketing budget arrangements with entities that provide administrative services to the Trust. NCB and the Adviser are cooperating fully with the SEC in that examination. The Adviser provided its initial response to the SEC on January 12, 2007 and subsequently provided follow-up written responses. At this stage of the investigation, the Adviser is not able to predict the outcome of this examination. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has established a committee comprising independent members of the Board of Trustees to monitor this matter on behalf of the Board.

REPORT FROM ALLEGIANT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY

“...the Fed established a holding pattern with the federal funds rate at 5.25%.”

Over the last year, we’ve provided updates on the progress Allegiant Asset Management has made and we are seeing the impact of that transformation. Our focus is on delivering competitive products to our shareholders. We believe the changes you have seen are leading us in this direction. Our investment teams, while located in various cities across the country, continue to benefit from sharing ideas. Across the spectrum of both equity and fixed income investments, a significant number of our mutual funds have outperformed their benchmarks and/or Lipper peer groups.(1) Although the markets have oscillated, our teams have remained focused on their investment process yielding strong results. And, we continue to be opportunistic in looking for areas to expand upon our capabilities and grow our product offerings to meet your ever changing needs.

Review

The markets spent most of the past fiscal year focused on the Federal Reserve Board, which, despite widespread speculation of impending interest rate cuts, took no such action. Rather, the Fed established a holding pattern with the federal funds rate at 5.25%. Despite the inaction, interest rate speculation remained intense as debate centered on competing fears of a slowing economy and rising inflation.

The housing market recession was dominant among fears of an excessive economic slow-down. Previous years of abnormally low interest rates combined with a dramatic relaxation of underwriting standards and increased speculation resulted in overvalued market conditions. As interest rates trended higher and affordability trended lower, however, demand collapsed, prices weakened, and credit problems multiplied.

Fortunately, the rest of the economy held up well. Sustained by healthy job and income gains, and rising net worth, the stalwart American consumer showed little evidence of retrenchment aside from episodic set-backs driven by energy price spikes. Commercial construction activity remained buoyant due to falling vacancy rates and foreign trade improved due to strong growth abroad and a declining value of the dollar.

Eventually, the economy’s resilience gave way to inflationary angst. Commodity prices remained stubbornly high and “core” measures of inflation exceeded the ranges preferred by Federal Reserve officials.

Fixed Income

The fixed income market over the last year was marked by a flat-to-inverted yield curve, historically low spreads, and low volatility. As calendar 2006 drew to an end, bond yields increased due to a combination of favorable economic readings and persistently unacceptable inflation. Still, given low market risk premiums and low interest rates, bonds performed well across all sectors.

Interest rate volatility declined throughout the year, as the Fed remained on hold and interest rates traded in a fairly narrow range. Nonetheless, the subprime crisis and an associated surge in delinquencies and defaults did affect lower quality segments of the mortgage market. Conversely, the U.S. agency component of the mortgage-backed market was affected very little.

“The fixed income market over the last year was marked by a flat-to-inverted yield curve, historically low spreads, and low volatility.”

Within the corporate component of the bond markets, spreads traded historically tight on the back of robust cash flows and higher-than-expected earnings. Growing concerns over domestic economic weakness coupled with housing-related problems have weighed on the corporate market in 2007, slightly widening spreads. Nevertheless, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Corporate Investment Grade Index finished the year ended May 31, 2007, by returning 7.36%.

The volatility across equity markets in late February 2007 carried over to the bond markets, as investors sought higher quality Treasuries, pushing yields down. Yields soon reversed direction and began to tick upward due to concerns over waning foreign interest in Treasury holdings, strong growth abroad, and renewed inflation pressures.

Equities

The stock market kept a hopeful eye on the Fed and reached new highs, predicated on the expectation of a “Goldilocks scenario” nurtured by lower interest rates. In late February, however, global markets sold off following a 10% drop in the Chinese exchange and emerging evidence of subprime mortgage difficulties. The decline was short-lived as favorable liquidity, strong global growth and better-than-expected earnings provided welcome tailwinds to rising markets worldwide.

U.S. corporations continued to generate robust earnings growth, fueled by their continued global expansion. For the first time, companies in the S&P 500® Index will generate over 50% of their sales abroad. The robust economic growth of China, developing economies, and Europe, combined with a weak U.S. dollar, helped offset results from domestic operations.

Merger and acquisition activity also surged and record levels of equity buy-backs further buoyed the market, each supported by still-low interest rates and cash-rich balance sheets. Private equity firms enjoyed record inflows as appetites for “alternative” investments remained strong.

Stock market returns for the year ended May 31, 2007, were stellar. The S&P 500® reached a new high in late May and returned 22.79%, while the Russell 2000® returned 18.92%. Large cap stocks finally outperformed small cap, and value continued to top growth.* International developed markets (MSCI EAFE®) returned 26.84%, while emerging markets (MSCI EM®) returned 38.16%.**

Telecomm dominated all sectors, returning 49.80% for the year. Utilities returned 35.99%, followed by energy at 28.45%. Industrials and consumer staples lagged the overall market at 16.81% and 18.76%, respectively.

What’s Ahead?

The preoccupation with higher inflation and slower economic growth remains in place. Energy and food costs continue to trend higher and recent declines in core inflation are tenuous. Meanwhile, the housing market remains precarious. Together, it is possible that these vulnerabilities could move the U.S. economy dangerously close to recession. However, the Fed maintains that moderate economic growth (GDP below the economy’s full potential) will allow inflation pressures to gradually abate, and the economy will slowly recover without further action on its part.

Allegiant Money Market Funds

REPORT FROM ALLEGIANT ASSET MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Though 2007 first quarter earnings were significantly above consensus, much of the resilience was fueled by strong foreign sales, an increase in corporate pricing power, and the benefits that a weak U.S. dollar has on currency translation effects. Nonetheless, profits are clearly on a slowing trajectory as rising labor, commodity and financing costs continue to squeeze margins. Additionally, the Treasury market shows enduring worries that inflation is not abating, which could take a serious toll on both equities and the housing markets.

That said, U.S. corporations are enjoying high margins, strong cash flows, and stable balance sheets that allow them considerable flexibility. Interest rates remain relatively low and domestic growth, though slowed, has not turned negative. The U.S. economy is now a global one, and the world markets will significantly impact its future.

In closing, thank you for the trust you have placed with us. You are truly our most valuable asset.

EXPENSE TABLES

The expenses shown in the Expense Tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as contingent deferred sales charges which may apply to redemptions of Class B Shares and Class C Shares of the Money Market Fund and which are described in the Prospectus. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

The “Annualized Expense Ratio” reflects the actual expenses net of fee waivers, where applicable, for the period (December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007) and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the year ended May 31, 2007.

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur operating expenses, including investment advisory fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Such expenses, which are deducted from a Fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a Fund. A Fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Tables provided below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007).

The Expense Table that appears for your Fund illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

 

   

Actual Expenses. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that you paid over the period. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return, and “Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use the information here, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number given for your Class of a Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

 

   

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund’s actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case — because the return used is not your Fund’s actual return — the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund’s costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Allegiant Money Market Funds

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Allegiant Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets of the Government Money Market Fund, Money Market Fund, Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, and Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Funds”) (six of the portfolios constituting the Allegiant Funds) as of May 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, 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 Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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 and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 above listed Funds at May 31, 2007, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their 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, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Allegiant Money Market Funds

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2007

1. Fund Organization

Allegiant Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on January 28, 1986. As of May 31, 2007, the Trust offered for sale shares of 30 Funds. Each of the Funds is authorized to issue various classes of shares. Each share class represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the respective Fund and is substantially the same in all respects, except that the classes are subject to different distribution (12b-1) fees and/or shareholder services fees, sales charges and investment minimums. With respect to the Money Market Funds, Class I and Class A Shares are sold without a sales charge; Class B and Class C Shares of the Money Market Fund are available only through dividend reinvestments and permitted exchanges and may incur contingent deferred sales charges. Contingent deferred sales charges may be reduced or waived under certain circumstances.

The Trust currently offers five asset categories that consist of the following Funds (each referred to as a “Fund” or collectively as the “Funds”):

Equity Funds

International Equity Fund, Large Cap Core Equity Fund, Large Cap Growth Fund, Large Cap Value Fund, Mid Cap Value Fund, Multi-Factor Mid Cap Growth Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Core Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Focused Value Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Growth Fund, Multi-Factor Small Cap Value Fund, S&P 500® Index Fund, Small Cap Core Fund and Small Cap Growth Fund;

Asset Allocation Fund

Balanced Allocation Fund;

Fixed Income Funds

Bond Fund, Government Mortgage Fund, Intermediate Bond Fund, Limited Maturity Bond Fund, Total Return Advantage Fund and Ultra Short Bond Fund;

Tax Exempt Bond Funds

Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund, Michigan Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Ohio Intermediate Tax Exempt Bond Fund and Pennsylvania Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund;

Money Market Funds

Government Money Market Fund, Money Market Fund, Ohio Municipal Money Market Fund, Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Money Market Fund, Tax Exempt Money Market Fund and Treasury Money Market Fund.

The financial statements presented herein are those of the Money Market Funds. The financial statements of the Equity and Asset Allocation Funds, and the Fixed Income and Tax Exempt Bond Funds are not presented herein, but are presented separately.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Money Market Funds.

Investment Valuation

The investments of the Money Market Funds, other than investments in other money market funds, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The amortized cost method values an investment at its cost at the time of purchase and thereafter assumes a constant accretion of discount or amortization of premium to maturity. If this method is determined to be unreliable during certain market conditions or for other reasons, a Fund may value its investments at market price or fair value prices may be determined in good faith using methods approved and regularly reviewed by the Board of Trustees. No such investments held at May 31, 2007 were valued at other than amortized cost.

 

38


Investments in other money market funds are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds each business day.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are recorded on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized, respectively, to interest income over the lives of the respective investments. Expenses common to all of the Funds in the Trust are allocated among the Funds on the basis of average net assets. Distribution (12b-1) fees and shareholder services fees relating to a specific Class are charged directly to that Class. Expenses common to all Classes, investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to each Class based upon the relative daily net assets of each Class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends from net investment income for each of the Money Market Funds are declared daily and paid monthly. Any net realized capital gains will be distributed at least annually by each of the Money Market Funds. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase agreements are considered loans under the 1940 Act. In connection therewith, the Trust’s custodian receives and holds collateral of not less than the repurchase price. If the value of the collateral falls below this amount, the Trust will require the seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business day. If the request for additional collateral is not met or the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Trust maintains the right to sell the underlying securities at market value and any resulting loss may be subject to legal proceedings.

Delayed Delivery Transactions

For the purpose of enhancing the Fund’s yield, the Tax Exempt Money Market Fund may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery basis. These transactions (principally in municipal securities referred to as COP’s or Certificates of Participation) involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place beyond the customary settlement period. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed delivery transaction after it is entered into. The Fund accounts for such transactions as purchases and sales at the commitment date and maintains liquid, high-grade securities in an amount at least equal to the commitment to repurchase.

3. Investment Advisory Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fees

Fees paid by the Money Market Funds pursuant to the Advisory Agreement with Allegiant Asset Management Company (the “Adviser”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of National City Corporation (“NCC”), are payable monthly and are calculated at an annual rate, listed in the table below, of each Fund’s average daily net assets. The Adviser may, from time to time, waive any portion of its fees. Such waivers are voluntary and may be changed or discontinued at any time. The table below lists the advisory fees and waivers that were in effect during the year ended May 31, 2007.

Custodian Fees

PFPC Trust Co., an affiliate of PFPC Inc. (“PFPC”) (one of the Trust’s Co-Administrators), serves as the Trust’s Custodian. PFPC Trust Co. also serves as Custodian for the Allegiant Advantage Fund (“Advantage”), another registered investment company managed by the Adviser. Custodian fees for the Trust and Advantage are calculated at the following annual rate: 0.004% of the first $10 billion of the combined average daily gross assets of the Trust and Advantage and 0.002% of the combined average daily gross assets in excess of $10 billion. The custodian fees are allocated to the Trust and Advantage based on each Fund’s average daily net assets. PFPC Trust Co. also receives other transaction based charges and is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses. One of the officers of PFPC is Treasurer of the Trust and Advantage.

Distribution/12b-1 Fees

The Trust and Professional Funds Distributor, LLC (the “Distributor”) are parties to a distribution agreement dated May 1, 2003. The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class I and Class A Shares in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class I and Class A Shares plan, the Funds reimburse the Distributor for direct and indirect costs and expenses incurred in connection with advertising, marketing and other distribution services in an amount not to exceed 0.10% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Funds’ Class I and Class A Shares. The Money Market Funds accrued 12b-1 fees at the rate of 0.025% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class I and Class A Shares from June 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006. Effective January 1, 2007, the 12b-1 fee accrual rate was reduced to 0.015% per annum of the average daily net assets of Class I and Class A Shares. The Trust also has adopted plans under Rule 12b-1 with respect to Class B and Class C Shares of the Money Market Fund, pursuant to which the Money Market Fund compensates the Distributor for distribution services in an amount up to 0.75% per annum of the average daily net assets of the Fund’s Class B and Class C Shares.

Trustees’ Fees

The Trustees are paid for services rendered to all of the Funds and Advantage, which are allocated to the Funds and Advantage based on their average daily net assets. Each Trustee receives an annual fee of $40,000 plus either $4,000 for each combined Board meeting attended in person, or $2,000 for each Board meeting attended telephonically, and reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. The Chairman of the Board receives an additional fee of $25,000 per year and the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional fee of $6,000 per year for their services in these capacities. No person who is an officer, director, trustee, or employee of the Adviser, the Distributor, or any parent or subsidiary thereof, who serves as an officer, trustee, or employee of the Trust receives any compensation from the Trust.

Trustees who receive fees are eligible for participation in the Trust’s Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan. The Plan allows each eligible Trustee to defer receipt of all or a percentage of fees that would otherwise be payable for services performed.

 

40


Administration Fees

The Trust, PFPC and National City Bank (“NCB”), an affiliate of the Adviser, are parties to a Co-Administration and Accounting Services Agreement, pursuant to which PFPC and NCB have agreed to serve as Co-Administrators to the Trust in exchange for fees at the annual rate of 0.06% based on average daily net assets of the Trust’s Funds. For its services as Co-Administrators during the period June 1, 2006 to August 31, 2006, approximately 0.0242% was allocated to PFPC and approximately 0.0358% was allocated to NCB. A new Co-Administration and Accounting Services Agreement was entered into effective September 1, 2006, pursuant to which PFPC and NCB have agreed to continue to serve as Co-Administrators to the Trust in exchange for fees at the annual rate of 0.06% based on average daily net assets of the Trust’s Funds. For its services as Co-Administrators during the period September 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007, approximately 0.0277% was allocated to PFPC and approximately 0.0323% was allocated to NCB. One of the officers of PFPC is Treasurer of the Trust.

Transfer Agent

Effective June 10, 2006, PFPC succeeded Boston Financial Data Services as Transfer Agent for the Funds. For its services as Transfer Agent, PFPC receives a fee based mainly upon the number of accounts serviced. Certain minimum fees and transaction charges may apply. For the year ended May 31, 2007, PFPC received $488,900 from the Funds in aggregate fees and expenses for services rendered under the Transfer Agency Services Agreement. One of the officers of PFPC is Treasurer of the Trust.

Legal Fees

Expenses paid by the Trust for the year ended May 31, 2007 include legal fees of $335,726 paid to Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP. A partner of that firm is Secretary of the Trust.

Affiliated Money Market Fund

Pursuant to SEC rules, the Money Market Funds may invest cash balances not otherwise invested in portfolio securities and cash collateral from securities lending programs to purchase shares of the money market funds offered by the Trust and the Allegiant Advantage Fund, a separate investment company affiliated with the Trust. The Adviser will waive fees in an amount that offsets any distribution fees charged by the Money Market Funds. Dividends received from such investments are reported as “Income from affiliate” in the Statements of Operations.

4. Federal Income Taxes

Each of the Money Market Funds is classified as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes and intends to continue to qualify as a separate “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code and make the requisite distributions to shareholders that will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income tax and Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal tax provision is required.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. The character of dividends and/or distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains, and the timing of such dividends and/or distributions made in the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized capital gains (losses) were recorded by the Money Market Funds. To the extent these differences are permanent; adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences, have been reclassified to/from the following accounts for the year ended May 31, 2007:

During the year ended May 31, 2007, the Treasury Money Market Fund utilized a capital loss carryforward of $3,019 to offset capital gains. During the year ended May 31, 2007, the Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Money Market Fund and the Tax Exempt Money Market Fund had capital loss carryforwards of $278 and $18,774, respectively, that expired.

5. Market and Credit Risk

Each of the Money Market Funds may invest up to 10% of net assets in illiquid securities. The relative illiquidity of some of these securities may adversely affect a Fund’s ability to dispose of such securities in a timely manner and at a fair price.

The Ohio Municipal Money Market and Pennsylvania Tax Exempt Money Market Funds follow an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of one state. The Tax Exempt Money Market Fund follows an investment policy of investing in municipal obligations of various states which may, at times, comprise concentrations in one or several states. Economic changes affecting each state and related public bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of issuers within the state to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the Funds.

6. Indemnifications

In the ordinary course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is immaterial. The Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote pursuant to the contracts.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.” This pronouncement provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, classification, and disclosures related to uncertain tax positions, along with any related interest and penalties. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the Funds required to implement FIN 48 in the NAV calculation by November 30, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a material impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, (“Statement 157”). Statement 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value, clarifies the definition of fair value, and expands disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. Statement 157 is intended to increase consistency and comparability among fair value estimates used in financial reporting. Statement 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Management does not expect the adoption of Statement 157 to have an impact on the amounts reported in the financial statements.

8. Regulatory Matters

On October 11, 2006, the Adviser was notified that the Pacific Regional Office of the SEC is conducting an examination concerning marketing budget arrangements with entities that provide administrative services to the Trust. NCB and the Adviser are cooperating fully with the SEC in that examination. The Adviser provided its initial response to the SEC on January 12, 2007 and subsequently provided follow-up written responses. At this stage of the investigation, the Adviser is not able to predict the outcome of this examination. The Board of Trustees of the Trust has established a committee comprising independent members of the Board of Trustees to monitor this matter on behalf of the Board.
