April 30, 2012

Dear Shareholders:

“Uncertainty is the only certainty there is, and knowing how to live with insecurity is the only security.”

- John Allen Paulos

Uncertainty and flux continue to drive the markets. The year 2011 finished with hopeful signs for 2012. Strong earnings growth, improved U.S. economic data, and optimism surrounding the European debt crisis encouraged investors.

While we didn’t quite receive a hearty ‘Santa Claus rally’ as we closed 2011, we also didn’t find a lump of coal in our stockings in December. A joint move by major central banks to significantly lower the cost of dollar funding to European banks, the European Central Bank’s (ECB) decision to extend unlimited liquidity lines to banks for up to three years, a 0.50% cut in the reserve requirement by the People’s Bank of China, and positive retail sales data post-Thanksgiving all encouraged investors.

With improved investor sentiment as the backdrop, the first three months of 2012 were characterized by rising markets and what seemed to be improved economic indicators. Better than expected gains in U.S. economic indicators drove the stock market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, to its best first quarter since 1982. Sentiment was buoyed by a perceived improvement in the European debt situation, which was aided by the ECB funding banks via its Longer-Term Refinancing Operations (LTRO) as well as the approval of a second bailout for Greece.

More recently however, the markets have consolidated and now appear to be somewhat range bound. Employment reports have been disappointing, bringing renewed worries of a U.S. slowdown to the forefront. When coupled with the possibility of a slowdown in China and renewed fears surrounding the European debt crisis as Spain re-entered recession, investor risk aversion has once again risen. Stock correlations have fallen to 10-year lows and while U.S. economic data has softened, the data remains in a trend that is supportive of sustained expansion. The key to sustainability and growth, as always, is the consumer.

Looking forward, the outlook for the global economy remains uncertain and Europe’s problems will take time to be resolved. The U.S. economy continues to have its own issues; unemployment, rising debt levels, and remains somewhat vulnerable to events in Europe. The financial crisis in Europe could drag on but, should it remain largely contained, the impact to the U.S. economy could be dampened.

With all of the uncertainty surrounding us, we constantly remind ourselves that behind every investment is a company. We are looking for companies with good prospects that are underappreciated or undervalued by the market. If we successfully identify such companies and apply our disciplined investment process, we believe our funds will perform well over time with lower risk than the overall market. And while investing in companies that we identify as both high quality and undervalued may not always keep pace with fast rising markets, we are confident that this investment approach will produce attractive returns over the long-term.

In the U.S., we expect inflation to moderate but remain positive. This will result in negative real interest rates that provide support for the economy, but also serve as a tax on savers. With little improvement in hiring and wages, consumer spending remains tepid and demand for credit remains weak despite easier lending standards. On a more positive note, corporations should continue spending on capital improvements. And, while not a meaningful contributor to growth, housing should stabilize and begin to improve. With a global monetary easing cycle in place and the U.S. economy now more diversified among industries, we believe we will see modestly positive growth in the U.S. as the Federal Reserve maintains short-term rates near zero until late 2014.

Risks do remain in markets both domestically and abroad. Spanish bond yields are rising while Europeans reject austerity measures, the 2013 “fiscal cliff” created by potential higher U.S. tax rates is looming, and the U.S. election creates additional uncertainty. As a result, investors are turning to low volatility and income generating strategies.

Given the uncertainties, we believe our portfolios are appropriately positioned for the current environment. We will continue to seek companies that we believe have the ability to deliver sustainable growth in both revenues and profits. Our analysts carefully research each idea and look for strong balance sheets, healthy free cash flow generation and improving fundamentals. We believe our disciplined investment process, philosophy, and risk control have served us and our investors well through diverse market cycles and will help the funds navigate the volatility and uncertainty prevalent in today’s current markets.

We appreciate your continued trust and look forward to reporting to you again in six months.

A discussion of each Fund’s performance is below:

Westwood LargeCap Value Fund

The performance of the Westwood LargeCap Value Fund for the periods ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:

 

     6 Months        2012
Calendar  YTD
 

Westwood LargeCap Value Fund – I shares (WHGLX)

     10.17        10.31

Westwood LargeCap Value Fund – A shares (WWLAX) (without sales charge)

     10.07        10.20

Russell 1000 Value Index

     11.62        9.99

Security selection in Utilities and Consumer Staples was the most additive to relative performance. In Utilities, holdings in defensive sectors such as Walgreen (WAG) and Philip Morris International (PM), in Consumer Staples, and Sempra Energy (SRE), in Utilities, performed well. Sempra Energy announced a dividend increase and plans for cash repatriation. Walgreen also benefited from perception that a dispute with Express Scripts could be resolved positively. Partially offsetting this performance however was American Electric Power (AEP), which fell as the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio disapproved a previous settlement, requiring that rates revert back to December 2011 levels. Selected other holdings moved higher on investor optimism, including Dow Chemical in the Materials & Processing sector.

Holdings within Energy and Consumer Discretionary detracted from relative performance. Consol Energy (CNX) and EQT Corporation (EQT) were negatively impacted by price declines in natural gas. General Motors (GM) and Wal-Mart Stores (WMT), in Consumer Discretionary, fell on fears that an economic slowdown would negatively impact sales, pulling the Fund’s sector performance lower. Additionally, Wal-Mart Stores fell on allegations that Wal-Mart Stores’ officials in Mexico violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the early 2000s while General Motors fell on news that its U.S. market share declined to a level not seen since 1922.

Within Technology, Oracle (ORCL) fell after missing investor consensus expectations for revenue across its major business lines due to weakness in Europe and Asia. Despite this miss, we believe Oracle remains one of the Fund’s most attractive holdings due to its recurring revenue stream, strong balance sheet and attractive valuation.

Within Producer Durables, holdings Xylem (XYL) and Exelis (XLS) both detracted from relative performance after their spin-off from ITT was completed. Exelis underperformed on fears of a slowing defense budget while Xylem’s exposure to Europe held it back.

Westwood SMidCap Fund

The performance of the Westwood SMidCap Fund for the periods ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:

 

     6 Months        2012
Calendar  YTD
 

Westwood SMidCap Fund

     9.89        8.75

Russell 2500 Index

     12.03        12.16

Security selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors was the primary driver of SMidCap underperformance. The worst performing securities included Big Lots (BIG), which reported disappointing earnings and reduced guidance, and Universal Technical Institute (UTI), which fell in sympathy with a weak private education industry, while enrollment trends for the institute have been somewhat negative.

Health Care’s CareFusion (CFN), experienced weaker results that were driven by slower than expected growth in their infection prevention business as well as pricing pressure in their non-differentiated disposables business. Despite expected slower growth, the company remains compelling with zero debt, a strong product mix, and stable foundations for improvement in international markets. Hologic (HOLX) was bid up as investors reacted favorably to the company’s operating trends, particularly in its Diagnostics and Breast Health divisions.

Relative performance was also hindered by Producer Durable’s Gardner Denver (GDI), which fell due to its large exposure to the natural gas industry. Cabot Oil & Gas (COG), Consol Energy (CNX), and Cloud Peak Energy (CLD) all sold off as natural gas and coal prices weakened. Navistar International (NAV), which has come under government investigation for emissions compliance and faces an increased risk of recall and underperformed. An underweight to companies highly levered to domestic consumer spending, as well as investor preference for growth stocks, was also a drag on relative performance.

Relative performance was aided by security selection in Materials & Processing and by an underweight to Utilities. Performance was boosted by the rise in Kraton Performance Polymers (KRA), which rebounded from a weak fourth quarter 2011 as investors factored in a better global growth environment and the relative value of the stock. Two of the Fund’s best performing stocks, Plains Exploration & Production (PXP) and Approach Resources (AREX), are Energy companies that benefited from the rise in crude oil prices to $100/barrel, along with stronger than expected earnings reports.

Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund

The performance of the Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund for the periods ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:

 

     6 Months        2012
Calendar  YTD
 

Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund

     9.90        9.74

Russell 2500 Index

     12.03        12.16

Stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, and Producer Durables sectors was the primary driver of underperformance. Navistar International (NAV) contributed to negative performance as the company works through the transition to higher emission compliance, while Big Lots (BIG) lowered same-store sales guidance for the first quarter. Lear (LEA) trended down on softening auto sales in Europe. Shares of Republic Services (RSG) traded down after missing first quarter earnings and reduced 2012 guidance on slower economic improvement as well as one-time items.

Relative performance was aided by positive stock selection in the Utilities, Materials & Processing, and Energy sectors. Positive contribution was led by Timken (TKR), which rallied on strong first quarter sales growth and margin expansion. Brinker International (EAT) shares rose following higher than expected same-store sales growth, while shares of Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) rallied after reporting better operating results and production trends. CMS Energy (CMS) performed well following better-than-feared results related to unfavorable weather conditions, and finally, Signet Jewelers (SIG) rallied after demonstrating solid execution in its first quarter results.

Security selection in Technology and an underweight in the defensive Utilities sector offset relative underperformance. Western Digital (WDC) rose after receiving European Union approval for the company’s merger with Hitachi Global Storage and providing a better than expected quarterly outlook due to a result of robust increase in prices.

Plains Exploration & Production benefited from the rise in crude oil prices to $100/barrel and a stronger than expected third quarter earnings report.

Westwood SmallCap Value Fund

The performance of the Westwood SmallCap Value Fund for the periods ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:

 

     6 Months        2012
Calendar  YTD
 

Westwood SmallCap Value Fund

     14.73        12.00

Russell 2000 Value Index

     11.47        9.98

Outperformance was driven by strong overall stock selection, especially in the Producer Durables, Materials & Processing and Health Care sectors. Holdings within Producer Durables led the way with strong earnings. Top performers TAL International Group (TAL) beat expected earnings and reported a strong outlook for the next year. Economically sensitive Producer Durables names Saia (SAIA) and EnerSys (ENS) surged along with an improvement in investor sentiment and confidence in the U.S. economy.

Health Care’s Orthofix International NV (OFIX) recently sold their lagging sports medicine division to a private equity firm and investors viewed this divestiture positively. Top performer Natus Medical (BABY), reported 2011 results and fiscal 2012 guidance that were received well by investors. Within Materials and Processing, performance was boosted by the rise in Kraton Performance Polymers (KRA), which rebounded as investors factored in a better global growth environment and the relative value of the stock.

Financial Services also performed well as banks rallied on the positive results from the U.S. “stress test” and the stabilization of the U.S. housing market. Top performing SVB Financial Group (SIVB) rebounded from their lows in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to a positive earnings surprise that was driven by growth in their loan book as well as their favorable position in the Silicon Valley market.

Within the Energy sector, “oily” stocks (those with production and revenues more levered to oil prices) fared better as oil prices climbed allowing Matrix Service (MTRX), a provider of services for oil refineries and storage tanks, to be a top performer. Detracting from relative performance were energy names related to natural gas including Pioneer Drilling (PDC) and Basic Energy Services (BAS), who both provide ancillary services to natural gas companies. Cloud Peak Energy (CLD) sold off as coal prices continued to weaken.

Detracting from relative performance were holdings in Consumer Discretionary as names in the Russell 2000 Value Index outperformed those held in the portfolio. Sales numbers for Kirkland’s Inc. (KIRK) and The Children’s Place Retail Stores (PLCE) were below investors’ expectations, while exposure to fears of a European slowdown has affected Warnaco Group’s international Calvin Klein segment.

Also hindering relative performance were Layne Christensen (LAYN), who reported poor margins and is undergoing a foreign corruption investigation, and lagging Rent-A-Center (RCII). Both names were sold for more attractive opportunities.

Westwood Income Opportunity Fund

The performance of the Westwood Income Opportunity Fund for the periods ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:

 

     6 Months        2012

While the Fund’s more economically sensitive holdings surged through the first quarter of 2012, overall performance was tempered by its broad allocation among a variety of income-producing asset classes. The Fund was overweight in common stocks, which was a positive contributor to performance; however, investor preference for high-beta equities over stable dividend payers hurt relative performance. An underweight in Real Estate Investments Trusts (“REITs”) and an overweight in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) also detracted from relative performance, partially offset by the Fund’s exposure to corporate bonds, which outperformed the broader fixed income universe as credit spreads tightened and risk premiums fell.

Top contributors included the Bank of America and the Citigroup, which rallied with the rest of the Financial Services sector on improvements in Europe, the positive results from the U.S. “stress test,” and the stabilization of the U.S. housing market. The Bank of America also benefitted from greater clarity gained on the mortgage put-back settlement and confidence in the financial viability of the company. Positive chatter surrounding Windows 8 Mobile and an attractive dividend yield drove shares of Microsoft higher.

Detractors included Eagle Rock Energy Partners, LP (EROC), whose share prices fell due to low natural gas prices and concerns about oversupply. Exterran Partners, LP (EXLP) announced a larger than expected secondary offering in the quarter, which negatively impacted unit performance.

In 2012, the Fund decreased its weights in Raytheon (RTN) and Digital Realty Trust (DLR), both of which appreciated in the fourth quarter of 2011 and approached their near-term price targets. These proceeds were used to increase the weight in PepsiCo (PEP) given its attractive valuation, strong global franchise, and consistent dividend growth. The Fund also increased its weight in Vodafone Group ADR (VOD), which offers a compelling way to gain exposure to the global adoption of wireless data services and an attractive dividend yield.

We have continued to reduce our exposure to government bonds due to the low yields and low probability of further appreciation, repositioning in corporate bonds with higher yields and non-fixed securities which offer the benefit of potential capital appreciation. While our research process continues to identify opportunities across the various asset classes utilized in the strategy, we are currently finding the most attractive investments in high quality dividend paying equities, preferred securities and in MLPs and REITs.

We continue to use the volatility in the market to opportunistically add and trim names that move in and out of favorable valuation ranges. Also, as securities in the Fund reach their target price they are sold in order to purchase other holdings that offer a more attractive return profile. Our goal continues to be to take advantage of volatility and increase our weightings in positions where we have conviction and view valuation favorably using funds from securities that have appreciated.

Westwood Balanced Fund

The performance of the Westwood Balanced Fund for the periods ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:

Navistar International (NAV) contributed to negative performance as the company works through the transition to higher emission compliance, while Big Lots (BIG) lowered same-store sales guidance for the first quarter. Lear (LEA) trended down on softening auto sales in Europe. Shares of Republic Services (RSG) traded down after missing first quarter earnings and reduced 2012 guidance on slower economic improvement as well as one-time items.

Relative performance was aided by positive stock selection in the Utilities, Materials & Processing, and Energy sectors. Positive contribution was led by Timken (TKR), which rallied on strong first quarter sales growth and margin expansion. Brinker International (EAT) shares rose following higher than expected same-store sales growth, while shares of Cabot Oil & Gas (COG) rallied after reporting better operating results and production trends. CMS Energy (CMS) performed well following better-than-feared results related to unfavorable weather conditions, and finally, Signet Jewelers (SIG) rallied after demonstrating solid execution in its first quarter results.

Security selection in Technology and an underweight in the defensive Utilities sector offset relative underperformance. Western Digital (WDC) rose after receiving European Union approval for the company’s merger with Hitachi Global Storage and providing a better than expected quarterly outlook due to a result of robust increase in prices.

Plains Exploration & Production benefited from the rise in crude oil prices to $100/barrel and a stronger than expected third quarter earnings report.

Westwood Dividend Growth Fund

The performance of the Westwood Dividend Growth Fund for the periods ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:

 

     6 Months        2012
Calendar  YTD
 

Westwood Dividend Growth Fund

     10.70        8.65

S&P 500 Index

     12.77        11.88

The stock market rally for the six month period was driven by a recovery in the cyclical segment of the overall economy, triggered by lower inflation and increasing prospects for a recovering economy. The sector most aided by lower inflation, Consumer Discretionary, was the best performing sector. Consumer confidence continues to increase, with lower energy prices and a declining unemployment rate. Other economically sensitive sectors, Financials and Technology, were strong during the period, as stress tests and strong earnings reports buoyed the prospects for these economically sensitive sectors. The worst performing sectors for the six month period included Materials, Energy & Utilities. Materials & Energy were negatively influenced by lower inflation & commodity prices.

Relative performance was helped by stock selection in Consumer Discretionary and Financials. Lowe’s (LOW) was the best performing holding for the period returning over 50% as the housing market finally showed signs of recovery. Wells Fargo (WFC) and US Bancorp (USB) both posted strong returns, as the U.S. Government approved both company’s capital plans allowing the companies to increase dividend payouts and repurchase shares.

Relative performance was hindered by underweight positions in Technology and Consumer Discretionary. Also hindering performance was stock selection in the Technology, Industrial and Health Care sectors. Although the portfolio held many strong positions in Technology, stock selection in the sector was hurt more by what was not owned, i.e. Apple (AAPL), than by what was owned in the portfolio. Apple, a large part of the S&P 500 Index, rose sharply due to investor optimism for continued strong growth in earnings and cash flow.

Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund

The performance of the Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund for the periods ended April 30, 2012, was as follows:

     1.72

BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index

     6.45

“Risk assets” led markets higher and the U.S. high yield market registered a solid start to 2012. The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, which represents the broad high yield market including long duration securities, gained

THE ADVISORS’ INNER CIRCLE FUND    WESTWOOD FUNDS
      
      

 

 

 

6.22% for the first four months of 2012 and 6.45% since inception of the Fund. As expected in a risk-on period, lower-rated, more speculative securities outperformed higher rated issues. Similarly, long duration bonds, outperformed shorter duration ones.

The Short Duration High Yield fund was launched at the end of 2011 and was in ramp-up mode in early 2012, but still managed to capture a modestly positive return of 1.72% through April 2012. The portfolio benefited from the overall strength in the high yield market, although some of the upside was capped by the shorter duration and better quality nature of the holdings.

The new-issue market remained strong, allowing companies to again re-finance near-term maturities. A consensus view that rates would remain low for an extended period of time provided the backdrop for high yield companies to issue debt to lock in today’s relatively low absolute cost of funds. With many existing bonds trading at or near their current call prices, capital appreciation was limited in the Fund. Nevertheless, there have been some incremental return opportunities as companies offer some additional compensation for the ability to take out their debt prior to maturity or a call date.

Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

1. Organization:

The Advisors’ Inner Circle Fund (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust under an Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated February 18, 1997. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company with 41 funds. The financial statements herein are those of the Westwood LargeCap Value Fund, Westwood SMidCap Fund, Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund, Westwood SmallCap Value Fund, Westwood Income Opportunity Fund, Westwood Balanced Fund, Westwood Dividend Growth Fund, and Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund (the “Funds”). Westwood SMidCap Fund and Westwood Income Opportunity Fund commenced operations on December 19, 2005. Westwood LargeCap Value Fund commenced operations on June 28, 2006. Westwood Balanced Fund commenced operations on September 8, 2006. Westwood SmallCap Value Fund commenced operations on April 2, 2007. Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund commenced operations on March 28, 2011. The Westwood Dividend Growth Fund commenced operations on October 31, 2001 as the McCarthy Multi-Cap Stock Fund and reorganized through a transfer of all assets and liabilities to the Westwood Dividend Growth Fund on February 4, 2011. The Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund commenced operations on December 28, 2011. Each of the Westwood Funds is classified as a “diversified” investment company under the 1940 Act. The Westwood LargeCap Value Fund, Westwood SMidCap Fund, Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund, Westwood SmallCap Value Fund, and Westwood Dividend Growth Fund seek long-term capital appreciation. The Westwood Income Opportunity Fund and Westwood Balanced Fund seek long-term capital appreciation and provide current income by investing in a portfolio of stocks and fixed-income securities. The Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund seeks preservation of capital and provides current income by investing in a portfolio of fixed-income securities. The financial statements of the remaining funds of the Trust are presented separately. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held.

Effective January 7, 2011, the Westwood SMidCap Fund is closed to new investors. Existing shareholders of the Westwood SMidCap Fund may continue to make additional investments and reinvest dividends and capital gains distributions in the Fund.

Effective July 1, 2011, the Westwood Dividend Growth Fund changed its fiscal year end to October 31.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

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

Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material.

Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on NASDAQ), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded, or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Values of debt securities are generally reported at the last sales price if the security is actively traded. If a debt security is not actively traded it is valued at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value. The prices for foreign securities are reported in local currency and converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates.

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Board. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee. As of April 30, 2012, the total value of securities in the Westwood Dividend Growth Fund valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures was $0 or 0.0% of net assets.

In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, the Funds disclose fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or abilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2—other significant observable inputs (includes quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, referenced indices, quoted prices in inactive markets, adjusted quoted prices in active markets, etc.)

Level 3—Prices, inputs or proprietary modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value. Investments classified within Level 3 whose fair value measurement considers several inputs may include Level 1 or Level 2 inputs as components of the overall fair value measurement.

For the six months/period ended April 30, 2012, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodology.

Federal Income Taxes — It is the Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund’s intention to qualify and each of the other Funds’ intention to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Funds did not record any tax provision in the current period. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last 3 open tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

As of and during the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months the Funds did not incur any significant interest or penalties.

Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains or losses on the sale of investment securities are based on the specific identification method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis from settlement date. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method.

Investments in REITs — Dividend income from REITs is recorded based on the income included in distributions received from the REIT investments using published REIT reclassifications, including some management estimates when actual amounts are not available. Distributions received in excess of this estimated amount are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The actual amounts of income, return of capital, and capital gains are only determined by each REIT after its fiscal year-end, and may differ from the estimated amounts.

Classes — Class specific expenses, such as distribution fees, are borne by that class of shares. Income, realized and unrealized gains/losses and non-class specific expenses are allocated to the respective class on the basis of relative daily net assets.

Expenses — Expenses that are directly related to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the Fund based on the number of funds and/or relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Westwood LargeCap Value Fund, Westwood SMidCap Fund, Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund, Westwood SmallCap Value Fund, and Westwood Dividend Growth Fund distribute substantially all of their net

investment income, if any, at least annually. The Westwood Income Opportunity Fund and Westwood Balanced Fund distribute substantially all of their net investment income, if any, quarterly. The Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income, if any, monthly. For each Fund, any net realized capital gains are distributed at least annually. All dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

Deferred Offering Costs — Offering costs, including costs of printing initial prospectus, legal and registration fees, are amortized over twelve-months from inception of a fund. For the Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund, as of April 30, 2012, the remaining amount still to be amortized for the Fund was $52,572.

3. Transactions with Affiliates:

Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are also officers of SEI Investments Global Funds Services (the “Administrator”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SEI Investments Company and/or SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the “Distributor”). Such officers are paid no fees by the Trust for serving as officers of the Trust.

A portion of the services provided by the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) and his staff, whom are employees of the Administrator, are paid for by the Trust as incurred. The services include regulatory oversight of the Trust’s Advisors and service providers as required by SEC regulations. The CCO’s services and fees have been approved by and are reviewed by the Board.

4. Administration, Distribution, Shareholder Servicing, Transfer Agent and Custodian Agreements:

The Westwood Funds and the Administrator are parties to an Administration Agreement under which the Administrator provides management and administrative services for an annual fee equal to 0.12% of the first $100 million, 0.08% of the next $200 million, 0.06% of the next $550 million and 0.04% of any amount above $850 million of the Funds’ average daily net assets, subject to a minimum fee of $100,000 for each fund plus $15,000 per each additional class.

The Trust and the Distributor are parties to a Distribution Agreement. The Distributor receives no fees under the agreement.

Effective December 31, 2007, the Westwood Large Cap Value and the Westwood Income Opportunity Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) relating to each Fund’s Class A Shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act. The Plan provides for payment at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class A Shares.

The Westwood SMidCap Fund, Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund and the Westwood SmallCap Value Fund have each adopted a shareholder servicing plan that provides that the Funds may pay financial intermediaries for shareholder services in an annual amount not to exceed 0.20% based on average daily net assets. The Funds do not pay these service fees on shares purchased directly. In addition to payments made directly to financial intermediaries by the Funds, the Adviser or its affiliates may, at their own expense, pay financial intermediaries for these and other services to the Funds’ shareholders. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Westwood SMidCap Fund, the Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund and the Westwood SmallCap Value Fund incurred $172,123, $8,036 and $27,655, or 0.08%, 0.10% and 0.18% of average daily net assets, of shareholder servicing fees, respectively.

DST Systems, Inc. serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Funds under a transfer agency agreement with the Trust.

The Funds earned cash management credits which are used to offset transfer agent expenses. During the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Westwood LargeCap Value Fund, Westwood SMidCap Fund, Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund, Westwood SmallCap Value Fund, Westwood Income Opportunity Fund, the Westwood Balanced Fund, the Westwood Dividend Growth Fund, and the Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund earned credits of $61, $13, $1, $2, $189, $1, $9, and $1, respectively.

Certain brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies and other financial representatives received compensation from the Funds for providing a variety of services, including record keeping and transaction processing. Such fees are based on the assets of the Funds that are serviced by the financial representative. Such fees are paid by the Funds to the extent that the number of accounts serviced by the financial representative multiplied by the account fee charged by the Funds’ transfer agent would not exceed the amount that would have been charged had the accounts serviced by the financial representative been registered directly through the transfer agent. All fees in excess of this calculated amount are paid by Westwood Management Corp. (the “Adviser”).

U.S. Bank, N.A. acts as custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.

5. Investment Advisory Agreement:

Under the terms of an investment advisory agreement with the Funds, the Adviser provides investment advisory services the Funds and receives a fee, which is calculated daily and paid monthly, at the following annual rates based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its investment advisory fees and reimburse expenses for the Funds in order to keep net operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) as set forth below (the “Institutional Class Expense Limitation” and the “Class A Expense Limitation”). The contractual waivers are in place through February 28, 2013.

Prior to February 4, 2011, under the terms of an investment advisory agreement with the Predecessor Fund, McCarthy Group Advisors, L.L.C. provided the Predecessor Fund with investment management services at an annual rate of 0.75% of the first $20 million of the Predecessor Fund’s average daily net assets, and 0.60% of the Predecessor Fund’s average daily net assets over $20 million. McCarthy Group Advisors, L.L.C. had contractually agreed to limit the Predecessor Fund’s total operating expenses by reducing all or a portion of its fees and reimbursing the Predecessor Fund’s total operating expenses, for a one year period, so that its expense ratio of expenses to average net assets would not exceed 1.15%.

The Adviser may seek reimbursement for Advisory Fees waived or limited and other expenses paid by the Adviser during the preceding three-year period, pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement. Reimbursement by a Fund of the Advisory Fees waived and other expenses paid by the Adviser pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreement may be made when a Fund has reached a sufficient asset size to permit reimbursement to be made without causing the total annual operating expense ratio of each Fund to exceed the total operating expense limitation.

At April 30, 2012, pursuant to the above, At April 30, 2012, pursuant to the above, the amount of previously waived and reimbursed fees for the Westwood LargeCap Value Fund, Westwood SMidCap Fund, Westwood SMidCap Plus Fund, Westwood SmallCap Value Fund, Westwood Income Opportunity Fund, Westwood Balanced Fund, Westwood Dividend Growth Fund and Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund for which the Adviser may seek reimbursement was $0, $0, $133,594, $71,802, $104,775, $220,086, $0, and $34,638 respectively. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Adviser recaptured previously waived fees of $77,977 for the Westwood LargeCap Value Fund, $86,962 for the Westwood Income Opportunity Fund and $13,807 for the Westwood Dividend Growth Fund.

As of December 28, 2011, the Adviser has entered into an investment sub-advisory agreement with SKY Harbor Capital Management LLC and pays the sub-adviser out of the fee that it receives from the Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund.

7. Federal Tax Information:

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain/(loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during the year. The book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital as appropriate, in the period that the difference arises.

The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the last two fiscal years were as follows:

During the year ended October 31, 2011, the Westwood LargeCap Value Fund, Westwood SmallCap Fund, Westwood Income Opportunity Fund and Westwood Balanced Fund utilized $13,693,961, $3,413,119, $2,475,469, and $483,781, respectively, of capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains.

Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, postenactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose the following information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy: quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement, the valuation processes used by the reporting entity, and a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.

11. Subsequent Event:

The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND EXPENSES (Unaudited)

All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a mutual fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.

Operating expenses such as these are deducted from a mutual fund’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of a mutual fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as a mutual fund’s expense ratio.

The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing fees (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.

The table on the following page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways.

• Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense from the Fund’s gross investment return.

You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”

• Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other mutual funds.

Note: Because the hypothetical return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

During the reporting period, pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, at its November 15-16, 2011 meeting, the Board of The Advisors’ Circle Fund (the “Trust”) considered the approval of the following agreements for an initial two-year term (collectively, the “Agreements”):

— the Advisory Agreement between Westwood Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) and the Trust, on behalf of the Westwood Short Duration High Yield Fund (the “Fund”); and

— the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and SKY Harbor Capital Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), on behalf of the Fund.

After their initial two-year terms, the Agreements must be approved: (i) by the vote of the Trustees or by a vote of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Agreements or “interested persons” of any party thereto, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Each year after the initial two-year term, the Board calls and holds a meeting to decide whether to renew the Agreements for an additional one-year term. In preparation for the meeting, the Board requests and reviews a wide variety of information from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

Prior to the meeting, the Board, including the Independent Trustees advised by their independent legal counsel, reviewed written materials from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser regarding, among other things: (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser; and (ii) the costs of the services to be provided, as discussed in further detail below.

At the meeting, representatives from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, along with other service providers of the Fund, presented additional oral and written information to help the Board evaluate the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s fees and other aspects of the Agreements. Among other things, the representatives provided an overview of the Sub-Adviser, including its history, investment management team and experience, risk management infrastructure, best execution and use of soft dollar policies. The Adviser’s representative noted that the Sub-Adviser (and the predecessor firm of which the principals of SKY had been employees) had managed assets for the Adviser for fifteen years. The representatives then provided an overview of the new Fund, discussing the Fund’s proposed objective and strategy, as well as model portfolio characteristics, and the Adviser and Sub-Adviser’s rationale for introducing the new Fund. The Trustees then discussed the written materials that the Board received before the meeting, the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s oral presentation and any other information that the Board received at the meeting, and deliberated on the approval of the Agreements in light of this information. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single piece of information discussed below that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, the Board reviewed the portfolio management services to be provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to the Fund. Among other things, the Board considered the quality of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s portfolio management personnel. The Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s registration forms (“Form ADV”) were provided to the Board, as was the response of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser to a detailed series of questions which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund.

The Trustees also considered other services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, such as selecting broker-dealers for executing portfolio transactions, monitoring adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions, and monitoring compliance with various Fund policies and procedures and with applicable securities regulations. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser.

Investment Performance of the Fund

Because the Fund is new, no performance information relating to the Fund was available for consideration. However, the Trustees considered the performance of a comparable fund with similar strategies previously managed by the portfolio manager who would also manage the proposed Fund. The Trustees noted that, since its inception, the comparable fund had performed similarly to its benchmark.

Cost of Services Provided and Economies of Scale

In concluding that the advisory fees payable to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were reasonable, the Trustees reviewed a report of the proposed fees to be paid by the Fund to the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, as well as the expected costs of services to be provided by and the

expected profits to be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund, and concluded that such profits were not excessive. The Trustees also reviewed reports comparing the expense ratio and advisory fee to be paid by the Fund to those paid by other comparable mutual funds and noted that the Fund’s expected total fees and expenses, after waivers, were within the range of the average fees and expenses incurred by other peer funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee was the result of arm’s length negotiations and appeared reasonable in light of the services to be rendered. The Board also considered the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s commitment to managing the Fund and the Adviser’s willingness to enter into an expense limitation and fee waiver arrangement. The Board noted that although the investment advisory agreement does not currently provide for breakpoints, the Board could re-assess the need for breakpoints in the future as the Fund grows. Because it was not possible to determine the profitability that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser might achieve with respect to the Fund, the Trustees did not make any conclusions regarding the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s profitability. For the same reason, the Board did not make any conclusions regarding the extent to which economies of scale would be realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser as the assets of the Fund grow. In this regard, during future considerations of the Agreements, the Board will consider whether any economies of scale are being realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and, if so, an appropriate mechanism for sharing the benefits of such economies of scale.

Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously: (a) concluded that the terms of the Agreements are fair and reasonable; (b) concluded that the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s fees are reasonable in light of the services that the Adviser and Sub-Adviser will provide to the Fund; and (c) agreed to approve the Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements for an initial term of two years.
