A Message to Our Shareholders

August 31, 2008

Dear Shareholders:

Since our February 29, 2008 semi-annual report, the U.S. financial landscape has undergone historic changes. Starting with the deterioration in the mortgage securities market and most recently culminating in the de-leveraging of the bank and investment banking industry and the massive government rescue efforts to support the U.S. financial system, we have experienced events that were unimaginable a few months ago.

We are pleased to inform you that throughout this turmoil the Monarch Daily Assets series of money market funds (“Monarch Funds”) have achieved competitive returns and maintained a $1 net asset value per share.

Our investment approach throughout this tumultuous time period has been and will continue to be focused on maintaining the highest credit quality in our portfolios consistent with providing our investors with a competitive return. Since the inception of the Monarch Funds sixteen years ago, we have remained committed to maintaining a $1.00 net asset value per share, providing daily liquidity and competitive returns through the skilled and prudent portfolio management our shareholders have come to expect. We thank all of our investors and the financial intermediaries we serve for their continued support. Please feel free to call us with your questions or comments at (800) 754-8757.

Monarch Funds

Although money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in them. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency, and is not endorsed or guaranteed by any bank or any affiliate of a bank. Foreside Fund Services, LLC, distributor.

Before investing you should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. This and other information is in the prospectus, a copy of which may be obtained by calling (800) 754-8757 or visiting the Fund’s website at www.monarchadvisors.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders

Monarch Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Daily Assets Treasury Fund, Daily Assets Government Fund and Daily Assets Cash Fund (collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of the Monarch Funds, as of August 31, 2008, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each year in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each year in the five-year 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 Daily Assets Treasury Fund, Daily Assets Government Fund and Daily Assets Cash Fund as of August 31, 2008, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each year in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each year in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 1.  Summary of Organization

Monarch Funds (the “Trust”) is a Massachusetts business trust registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”). The Trust consists of three diversified investment portfolios listed below (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”). The Funds are authorized under the Trust’s Trust Instrument to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value.

Note 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Security Valuation  Generally, each Fund determines its net asset value per share as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, on each Fund business day, utilizing the amortized cost method pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the Act. Under this method, all investments purchased at a discount or premium are valued by accreting or amortizing, respectively, the difference between the original purchase price and the maturity value of the investment over the period to the investment’s maturity.

Repurchase Agreements  Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements. Each Fund, through its custodian, receives delivery of the underlying collateral, whose value always exceeds or equals the repurchase price plus expected transaction costs. In the case of a tri-party agreement, the collateral is held by an agent bank. The Funds’ investment adviser is responsible for determining the value of the underlying collateral. In the event of default, a Fund may have difficulties with the disposition of any such securities held as collateral.

Expense Allocation  The Trust is comprised of three Funds, and it accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each Fund. Expenses that are directly attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds in proportion to each Fund’s average daily net assets. Each share of each class of a Fund represents an undivided, proportionate interest in the Fund. The Funds’ class-specific expenses include administration fees, transfer agency fees and certain expenses determined by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (“Board”). The Board has determined the following expenses to be class specific: Legal, Audit, Registration, Shareholder reporting, Trustees’ fees and expenses, Printing, expenses incurred in connection with shareholder meetings, and certain fees subject to Board approval. Institutional Service Shares, Institutional Shares, Investor Shares, B Shares and C Shares incur shareholder servicing fees and Investor Shares, B Shares and C Shares incur distribution fees. In addition, there are differences between the classes of shares with respect to the minimum investment required.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2008

Securities Transactions, Dividend and Interest Income and Realized Gain and Loss  Securities transactions are recorded on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is accrued as earned and realized gain and loss on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified cost.

Federal Taxes  Each Fund intends to continue to qualify each year as a regulated investment company and distribute all its net investment income. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all its net investment income, capital gain and certain other amounts, each Fund will not be subject to a federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. As of and during the period ended August 31, 2008, the Trust did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Trust recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to tax liabilities as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. As of August 31, 2008, tax years 2005 through 2008 remain subject to examination by the Trust’s major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States of America and the state of Massachusetts.

Distributions to Shareholders  Distributions to shareholders of net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Net capital gain, if any, is distributed to shareholders at least annually. Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with applicable income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due primarily to differing treatments of income and gain on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterizations of distributions made by each Fund.

New Accounting Pronouncements  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current GAAP from the application of SFAS No. 157 relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of August 31, 2008, the Funds do not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Restricted Securities  The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Federal securities laws or, if the securities are registered, to the public. The sale or other disposition of these securities may involve additional expenses and the prompt sale of these securities at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held by the Funds is included in the Schedule of Investments.

Note 3.  Investment Advisory and Other Services

Investment Adviser  Monarch Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”), is the investment adviser of each Fund. The Adviser receives an advisory fee from Daily Assets Treasury Fund, Daily Assets Government Fund, and Daily Assets Cash Fund based upon the total average daily net assets of the combined Funds (“Total Fund Assets”) that is calculated on a cumulative basis at the following annual rates: 0.06% for the first $200 million of Total Fund Assets, 0.04% of the next $300 million of Total Fund Assets and 0.03% of the remaining Total Fund Assets.

Administration and Other Services  Citi Fund Services, LLC (“Citi”), provides certain administration, portfolio accounting and transfer agency services to the Fund.

Shareholder Services  The Funds pay a shareholder servicing fee at an annual rate of 0.20% of the average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Service Shares, Institutional Shares and Investor Shares of each Fund and 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to B Shares and C Shares of Daily Assets Cash Fund. These fees are paid to various financial institutions that provide shareholder services.

Distributor  Foreside Fund Services, LLC is the Trust’s distributor (the “Distributor”). Under a Distribution Plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act, the Trust pays the Distributor a distribution fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Shares of each Fund and 0.75% of the average daily net assets of B Shares and C Shares of Daily Assets Cash Fund. The Distributor pays some or all of these fees to various financial institutions that provide distribution services for these share classes. The plan obligates the Funds to pay the Distributor as compensation for its services. The Distributor is not affiliated with Citi or its affiliated companies.

Under a Compliance Services Agreement with the Trust, an affiliate of the Distributor Foreside Compliance Services provides a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust as well as certain additional compliance support functions.

Note 4.  Waiver of Fees/Reimbursement of Expenses

Citi voluntarily waived a portion of their fees and assumed certain expenses of the Funds. Voluntary waivers may be reduced, increased, or eliminated at any time. Expenses waived or reimbursed may not be recovered in subsequent periods. For the year ended August 31, 2008 fees waived and expenses reimbursed for each of the funds were as follows:

	Daily Assets Treasury Fund		Daily Assets Government Fund		Daily Assets Cash Fund
Administration	$	86,603	$	273,806	$	369,763
Shareholder Service		—		7,503		—
Transfer Agency		—		22,306		—
Portfolio Accounting		53,622		—		—
Reimbursed Expenses by Citigroup		35,993		18,080		97,345
Total	$	176,218	$	321,695	$	467,108

Note 5.  Fund Closure

On June 13, 2008, the Board approved a plan to liquidate and terminate the Daily Assets Government Obligations Fund, upon recommendation of the Adviser. The Adviser did not believe that it could continue to conduct the business and operations of the Fund in an economically efficient manner following the recent notice of redemption of shares by the Fund’s largest shareholder, reducing the Fund’s size and economies of scale. As such, the Board concluded that it would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to liquidate and terminate the Fund. Subsequently, full liquidation of the Fund occurred on August 1, 2008.

Note 6.  Federal Income Tax and Investment Transactions

As of August 31, 2008, distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

	Undistributed Ordinary Income		Undistributed Long-Term Gain		Total
Daily Assets Treasury Fund	$	13,022	$	—	$	13,022
Daily Assets Government Fund		8,663		8,702		17,365
Daily Assets Cash Fund		134,967		—		134,967

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

	Ordinary Income				Long Term
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Daily Assets Treasury Fund	$	1,750,960	$	3,540,920	$	—	$	—
Daily Assets Government Fund		11,334,193		18,992,567		2,900		—
Daily Assets Cash Fund		20,676,774		28,451,931		—		—

In June 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN 48), was issued. The Funds implemented the provisions of FIN 48, which prescribe a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken in a tax return. As of August 31, 2008, Fund management has determined that the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken in the current or prior periods that would require reporting under FIN 48.

Notes to Financial Statements

August 31, 2008

Note 7.   Concentration

The shareholders through a certain intermediary represent a significant portion of the Funds’ overall shareholders. In the event the relationship between the Funds and the intermediary were to terminate, this would significantly impact the Funds’ net assets and results of operations.

Note 8.   Subsequent Events

The broad financial markets continued to struggle during the period subsequent to year end amid high volatility, tighter credit, slower economic growth and rising inflationary pressures. These market conditions have adversely affected a wide range of financial firms. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) has acted to seek to calm credit markets and increase confidence in the U.S. economy. Some of the steps the Fed has taken are expanded lending programs, provided foreign central banks the U.S. dollars needed to meet demand from their commercial banks, pledged hundreds of billions of dollars to capital constrained financial institutions and reduced the federal funds rate. In addition, a $700 billion dollar financial rescue plan introduced by President George W. Bush was passed by the House and Senate.

In response to concerns that the current financial crisis is beginning to affect historically safe assets, the U.S. Treasury Department announced a massive program to shore up the money market fund industry.

With approval from The Board of Trustees of the Monarch Funds, the Daily Assets Cash Fund applied to participate and was accepted in the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”).

The initial term of the Program expires on December 18, 2008. The Program may be extended at the sole discretion of the Treasury until September 18, 2009.

In order to participate in the Program through December 18, 2008, the Fund will pay an amount equal to 0.01% of the net asset value (“NAV”) of the Fund as of September 19, 2008. If the Program is extended and the Fund is eligible to, and does, participate in any Program extension, payment of an additional fee will be required. The Fund is responsible for payment of these fees, and the fees will not be subject to any expense limitation or reimbursement agreement.

Under the Program, Treasury will guarantee the share price of shares of the Fund outstanding as of September 19, 2008 (“Covered Shares”) at $1.00 per share if the Fund’s NAV falls below $0.995 (a “Guarantee Event”). Fund shares added to an existing account or purchased for a new account after the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be covered by the Program. The Program provides a guarantee for lesser of (a) the number of shares owned by the shareholder at the close of September 19, 2008, or (b) the number of shares owned by the shareholder on the date of a Guarantee Event.

Recovery under the Program is subject to certain terms and conditions, including the following:

1. The Guarantee Event occurs during the term of the Program.

2. The Fund liquidates following a Guarantee Event that is not cured. Under these circumstances, Fund shareholders will receive under the Program, with respect to Fund shares covered by the Program, any difference between the amount received (in cash or through in-kind distributions) from the Fund in connection with the liquidation and $1.00 per Fund share.

3. There are funds still available in the Federal Exchange Stabilization Fund (currently approximately $50 billion) at the time of the Guarantee Event.

Proxy Voting Guidelines – A description of the policies and procedures the Funds use to determine how to vote as a shareholder of the companies whose securities are held in the Funds’ portfolio is available, without charge and upon request, by calling 800-754-8757. This information is also available from the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. For the most recent twelve months ended June 30, the Funds did not own any securities for which a shareholder meeting was called and voted on.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Schedule – The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 800-SEC-0330.

Federal Tax Status of Dividends Declared during the Fiscal Year

For Federal income tax purposes, all of the income dividends paid by each Fund for the tax year ended August 31, 2008 were ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The percentage of ordinary income distributions designated as Qualifying Interest Income exempt from U.S. tax for foreign shareholders (“QII”) is presented below.

	QII
Daily Assets Treasury Fund	97.33	%
Daily Assets Government Fund	98.88
Daily Assets Cash Fund	95.83

Shareholder Expenses Example – As a shareholder of the Monarch Funds, you incur two types of costs – (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (load’s) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, 12b-1 distribution and/or service fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Monarch Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2008 through August 31, 2008.

Actual Expenses – The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this table, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. 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 in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example – The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Monarch Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Monarch Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

CODE OF ETHICS

PROVISIONS PURSUANT TO

SECTION 406 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

SECTION 1: COVERED OFFICERS/PURPOSE

This Code of Ethics (“Code”) has been adopted pursuant to Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Act”) and applies solely to the principal executive, financial, and accounting officers of the Trust (each a “COVERED OFFICER”).

This Code has been adopted for the specific purpose of promoting honest and ethical conduct, compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations and accountability for adherence to the Code. Each Covered Officer should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to conflicts of interest.

The Covered Officers and the effective date of this Code to them are:

Anthony R. Fischer, February 28, 2006

Jack J. Singer, February 28, 2006

SECTION 2: CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

A “conflict of interest” occurs when a Covered Officer’s private interest interferes with the interests of, or the officer’s service to, the Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer receives improper personal benefits as a result of the Covered Officer’s position with the Trust. Conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust and its service providers, of which a Covered Officer is also an officer or employee. A Covered Officer may also be an officer or employee of one or more other investment companies covered by other similar codes. Such service, by itself, does not give rise to a conflict of interest.

As applicable to a Covered Officer, the following must be approved by the Chairman of the Trust’s audit committee (“COMMITTEE”):

(1) service on the board of directors or governing board of a publicly traded entity;

(2) the receipt of any non-nominal gifts from persons or entities who have or are seeking business relationships with a Trust;
