NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2010

UNAUDITED

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Maxim Series Fund, Inc. (the Fund) is a Maryland corporation organized on December 7, 1981 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as an open-end management investment company.  The Fund presently consists of fifty-four portfolios.  Interests in the Maxim MidCap Value Portfolio (the Portfolio) are included herein and are represented by a separate class of beneficial interest of the Fund.  The investment objective of the Portfolio is to seek long-term capital appreciation.  The Portfolio is diversified as defined in the 1940 Act.  The Portfolio is available as an investment option for insurance company separate accounts for certain variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies (variable insurance contracts), to individual retirement account (IRA) owners, to qualified retirement plans and college savings programs, and to asset allocation portfolios that are series of the fund.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies of the Fund.

Security Valuation

The value of assets in the Portfolio is determined as of the close of trading on each valuation date.

Short-term securities with a maturity of 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

For securities that are traded on an exchange, the last sale price as of the close of business of the principal exchange will be used.  If the closing price is not available, the current bid will be used.  For securities that principally trade on the NASDAQ National Market System, the NASDAQ official closing price will be used.

Foreign securities are valued at the closing price on the security’s primary exchange.  If the closing price is not available, the current bid will be used.  Foreign exchange rates are determined by utilizing the New York closing rates.

Independent pricing services are utilized when possible and approved by the Board of Directors.  In some instances valuations from independent pricing services are not available or do not reflect significant events in the market between the time the market closed and the valuation time and therefore fair valuation procedures are implemented.  Developments that might be considered significant events to trigger fair value pricing could be natural disasters, government actions or significant fluctuations in domestic or foreign markets.

For foreign equity securities, factors used in the determination of fair value may include monitoring news to identify significant market or security specific events such as changes in the value of the U.S. securities market, reviewing developments in foreign markets and evaluating the performance of ADRs, futures contracts and exchange-traded funds.

The effect of fair value pricing as described above is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded, but rather may be priced by another method that the board believes reflects fair value.  This policy is intended to assure that the Portfolio’s net asset value fairly reflects security values at the time of pricing.

The Portfolio classifies its valuations into three levels based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the Portfolio’s investments.  The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on quoted prices for identical securities in active markets.

Level 2 – Valuations based on either directly or indirectly observable inputs.  These may include quoted prices in markets that are not active or quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.  Valuations may also be based on inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset, such as interest rates and yield curves.  Additional inputs may be used such as benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, prepayment speeds and benchmark securities. 

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. 

As of June 30, 2010, the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s investments were as detailed in the following table.  At no point during the period did the Portfolio hold securities valued with Level 3 inputs.

*Other financial instruments consist of futures.  Futures are reported at their variation margin as of June 30, 2010.

Financial Futures Contracts

Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit).  Receipts or payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security.  When the Portfolio enters into a closing transaction, it will realize, for book purposes, a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the futures contract at the time it was opened or purchased and its value at the time it was closed.

Dividends

Dividends from net investment income of the Portfolio are declared and paid semi-annually.  Income dividends are reinvested in additional shares at net asset value.  Dividends from capital gains of the Portfolio, if any, are declared and reinvested at least annually in additional shares at net asset value.

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date).  The cost of investments sold is determined on a specific lot selection.

Dividend income for the Portfolio is accrued as of the ex-dividend date and interest income, including amortization of discounts and premiums, is recorded daily.

Federal Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the Portfolio currently qualifies, and intends to remain qualified, as a regulated investment company under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable net income, including realized gain not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to its shareholders.  Management has concluded that the Portfolio has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements.  Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise taxes has been made.  The Portfolio files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Colorado.  No federal income tax returns are currently under examination.  The statute of limitations on the Portfolio’s federal tax return filings remains open for the years ended December 31, 2008 through December 31, 2009.

Classification of Distributions to Shareholders

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Application of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (ASU No. 2010-06).  ASU No. 2010-06 provides for disclosure of significant transfers in and out of the fair value hierarchy Levels 1 and 2, and the reasons for these transfers.  In addition, ASU No. 2010-06 provides for separate disclosure about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the Level 3 hierarchy roll forward activity.  ASU No. 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2009 except for the provisions relating to purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 investments, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The Portfolio adopted the disclosure provisions of ASU 2010-06 for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2010 and will adopt the Level 3 purchase, sales, issuances and settlement provisions for its fiscal year beginning January 1, 2011.  The adoption of ASC No. 2010-06 did not have an impact on the Portfolio’s financial position or the results of its operations.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with GW Capital Management, LLC, doing business as Maxim Capital Management, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A.  As compensation for its services to the Fund, the investment adviser receives monthly compensation at the annual rate of 1.25% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio.   The management fee encompasses fund operation expenses.

GWFS Equities, Inc. (the Distributor), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A and the principal underwriter to distribute and market the Portfolio.  FASCore, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GWL&A, performs transfer agent servicing functions for the Portfolio.

The total compensation paid to the independent directors with respect to all fifty-four portfolios for which they serve as Directors was $130,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Certain officers of the Fund are also directors and/or officers of GWL&A or its subsidiaries.  No officer or interested director of the Fund receives any compensation directly from the Fund.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENT SECURITIES

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding all U.S. Government securities and short-term securities) were $42,217,911 and $82,416,486, respectively.  For the same period, there were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities.

4.   UNREALIZED APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)

At June 30, 2010, the U.S. Federal income tax cost basis was $142,140,303. The Portfolio had gross appreciation of securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost of $17,819,173 and gross depreciation of securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value of $7,798,886 resulting in net appreciation of $10,020,287.

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Portfolio uses futures contracts in order to equitize uninvested cash with the objective of minimizing risk of expected tracking error versus the benchmark index.  Index futures contracts which are most correlated to the benchmark index and exhibit sufficient liquidity are utilized.  The use of futures contracts may involve risks such as the possibility of illiquid markets or imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying securities, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations.

Valuation of derivative instruments as of June 30, 2010 is as follows:

	Asset Derivatives				Liability Derivatives
Derivatives Not Accounted for as Hedging Instruments	Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location		Value		Statement of Assets and Liabilities Location	Value
Futures Contracts		-		-	Variation margin on futures contracts	$	7,794

The effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 is as follows:

	Realized Gain/Loss				Unrealized Gain/Loss
Derivatives Not Accounted for as Hedging Instruments	Statement of Operations Location	Amount			Statement of                      Operations Location	Amount
Futures Contracts	Net realized loss on futures contracts	$	(157,244	)	Change in net unrealized depreciation on futures contracts	$	(63,135	)

The number of futures contracts held at June 30, 2010 is representative of futures contracts activity during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

6.         DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes.  The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and or realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.  Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Portfolio.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has reviewed all events subsequent to the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing these financial statements, through the issuance date of the financial statements.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE
Maxim MidCap Value Portfolio
As a shareholder of the Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Portfolio expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolio and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6) , then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio'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 Portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the 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 second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
	Beginning		Ending		Expenses Paid
	Account Value		Account Value		During Period*
	(12/31/09)		(06/30/10)		(12/31/09-06/30/10)
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	988.19	$	6.16
Hypothetical
(5% return before expenses)	$	1,000.00	$	1,018.60	$	6.26
*Expenses are equal to the Portfolio's annualized expense ratio of 1.25%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 days to reflect the one-half year period.

* At the close of business on December 31, 2009, Invesco Global Asset Management (N.A.), Inc., former Sub-Adviser to the Maxim Invesco ADR Portfolio, merged into Invesco Institutional (N.A.), Inc., which was renamed Invesco Advisers, Inc.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, MCM acts as investment adviser and, subject to oversight by the Board, directs the investments of each Portfolio in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations.  MCM also provides, subject to oversight by the Board, the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund.  In addition, the Fund operates under a manager-of-managers structure pursuant to an order issued by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which permits MCM to enter into and materially amend Sub-Advisory Agreements with Board approval but without shareholder approval.  Under this structure, MCM is also responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the Sub-Advisers and for recommending the hiring, termination and replacement of Sub-Advisers to the Board.

Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreements, each Sub-Adviser, subject to general supervision and oversight by MCM and the Board, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolio(s) sub-advised by it, and for making decisions to buy, sell or hold any particular security.  MCM is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Portfolios that do not have a Sub-Adviser.

On March 23, 2010, the Independent Directors met separately with independent legal counsel in advance of the Meeting to evaluate information furnished by MCM and the Sub-Advisers in connection with the proposed continuation of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreements (collectively, the "Agreements").  The Independent Directors also considered additional information provided in response to their requests made following the March meeting.

In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board considered such information as the Board deemed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements.  The Board noted that performance information is provided to the Board on an ongoing basis at regular Board meetings held throughout the year.  In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any single factor as being determinative. Rather, the Board's approvals were based on each Director's business judgment after consideration of the information as a whole.  Individual Directors may have weighted certain factors differently and assigned varying degrees of materiality to information considered by the Board.

Based upon its review of the Agreements and the information provided to it, the Board concluded that the Agreements were fair and reasonable in light of the services performed, fees charged and such other matters as the Directors considered relevant in the exercise of their business judgment.  The principal factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the Directors' determinations to approve the continuation of the Agreements are discussed below.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services

The Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided and to be provided to the Portfolios by MCM and the Sub-Advisers.  Among other things, the Board considered each adviser's personnel, experience, resources and performance track record, its ability to provide or obtain such services as may be necessary in managing, acquiring and disposing of investments on behalf of the Portfolios, and its ability to provide research and obtain and evaluate the economic, statistical and financial data relevant to the investment policies of the Portfolios.  The Board also considered each adviser's reputation for management of its investment strategies, its overall financial condition, technical resources, operational capabilities, and compliance policies and procedures, as well as the adviser's practices regarding the selection and compensation of brokers and dealers for the execution of portfolio transactions and the procedures it uses for obtaining best execution of portfolio transactions.  Consideration also was given to the fact that the Board meets with representatives of the advisers at regular Board meetings held throughout the year to discuss portfolio management strategies and performance. Additionally, the quality of each adviser's communications with the Board, as well as the adviser's responsiveness to the Board, was taken into account.  The Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Portfolios by MCM and the Sub-Advisers.

Investment Performance

The Board considered the investment performance of each Portfolio.  The Board reviewed performance information for each Portfolio as compared against various benchmarks and the performance of similar funds.  For Portfolios other than the Fund's "Index Portfolios" (comprised of the Maxim Bond Index Portfolio, Maxim Index 600 Portfolio, Maxim Stock Index Portfolio, and Maxim S&P 500 Index Portfolio), this information included, to the extent applicable, annualized returns for the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended December 31, 2009, calendar year returns for the five-year period ended December 31, 2009, and risk-adjusted performance measures.  In addition, except for the Index Portfolios and the Fund's "Asset Allocation Portfolios" (comprised of the Maxim Profile Portfolios, Maxim Lifetime Asset Allocation Portfolios, Maxim SecureFoundation Lifetime Portfolios, and Maxim SecureFoundation Balanced Portfolio), for which Morningstar performance information is not provided, this information also included the Portfolios' Morningstar category and overall ratings and a rolling quarterly analysis of long-term performance relative to the applicable Morningstar category.  The Board also considered the composition of each Portfolio's "peer" group of funds, as determined by MCM based on funds of similar size and asset class from within, to the extent applicable, the Portfolio's Morningstar category.  In evaluating the performance of each Portfolio, the Board noted how the Portfolio performed relative to the short- and long-term returns of the applicable benchmarks and peer groups.

For Portfolios other than the Index Portfolios and Asset Allocation Portfolios, the Board assessed performance based principally on the long-term rolling quarterly analysis for each Portfolio in which each quarter's performance is, in turn, based on a composite of the Portfolio's 3-, 5- and 10-year annualized returns, 3- and 5-year risk-adjusted performance, and Morningstar rating.  For purposes of its annual review of advisory contracts, the Board generally considered a Portfolio to have performed satisfactorily unless the Portfolio has had a history of persistent underperformance based on the Portfolio's long-term rolling analysis.  In this regard, the Board noted that the Maxim Ariel Small-Cap Value Portfolio, Maxim Ariel MidCap Value Portfolio, Maxim MFS International Value Portfolio, Maxim Putnam High Yield Bond Portfolio, and Maxim Small-Cap Growth Portfolio fell below the Portfolio quantitative benchmark for long-term performance.

With regard to the Ariel Portfolios, the Board considered the factors attributing to the Portfolios' performance, the current market for the Portfolios' shares, and the Portfolios' position in the Fund's overall Portfolio lineup. The Board noted that the Portfolios had performed significantly better than the median fund performance for funds within their Morningstar categories over the most recent calendar-year period, and concluded that, despite the Portfolios' underperformance over the long-term, there is a market for the Portfolios' shares.  With regard to the Maxim MFS International Value Portfolio, the Board noted that MFS replaced the Portfolio's previous Sub-Adviser in September 2009, and concluded that, in light of the Portfolio's competitive performance since the change in Sub-Advisers, the Board was satisfied with the management of the Portfolio.  Similarly, with respect to the Maxim Putnam High Yield Bond Portfolio, the Board noted that Putnam had replaced the Portfolio's previous Sub-Adviser in August 2009, and concluded that, in light of the Portfolio's competitive performance since the change in Sub-Advisers, the Board was satisfied with the management of the Portfolio.  With regard to the Maxim Small-Cap Growth Portfolio, the Board considered the factors attributing to the Portfolio's performance, changes in the management of the Sub-Adviser, and the short-term and long-term performance of the Portfolio.  The Board also took into consideration its discussion with management regarding monitoring the Portfolio's performance, and concluded that the Portfolio's performance was being addressed.  As to the remaining Portfolios (other than the Index Portfolios and Asset Allocation Portfolios), the Board determined that it was satisfied with investment performance.

The Board reviewed the performance of each Index Portfolio as compared against the performance of the index or composite index the Portfolio is designed to track, and concluded that it was satisfied with the investment performance of the Index Portfolios.  The Board also reviewed, to the extent available, the performance of each Asset Allocation Portfolio as compared against the performance of similarly managed funds.  Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the investment performance of the Maxim Profile Portfolios.  With respect to the Maxim Lifetime Asset Allocation Portfolios, the Board noted that these Portfolios had commenced operations on May 1, 2009, and concluded that, in light of the Portfolios' short track record, the Board was generally satisfied with the management of these Portfolios.  With regard to the Maxim SecureFoundation Lifetime Portfolios and Maxim SecureFoundation Balanced Portfolio, the Board noted that no performance information was provided for their consideration as these Portfolios had only recently commenced operations.

Costs and Profitability

The Board considered the costs of services provided and profits estimated to have been realized by MCM and, to the extent available, the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Portfolios.  With respect to the costs of services, the Board considered the structure and the level of the applicable investment management fees and other expenses payable by the Portfolios, as well as the structure and level of the applicable sub-advisory fees payable by MCM to the Sub-Advisers.  In evaluating the applicable management and sub-advisory fees, the Board considered the fees payable by and the total expense ratios of similar funds managed by other investment advisers, as determined by MCM based on each Portfolio's Morningstar category, to the extent applicable.With the exception of the Index Portfolios and Asset Allocation Portfolios (for which comparable information from Morningstar was not available), the Board also considered each Portfolio's total expense ratio in comparison to the median expense ratio for all funds within the same Morningstar fund category as the Portfolio.  

Based on the information provided, the Board noted that the Portfolios' management fees were within the range of fees paid by similar funds, although some of the fees were at the higher end of the range.  The Board also noted that the total annual operating expense ratios of the Portfolios (other than the Index Portfolios and Asset Allocation Portfolios) were generally comparable to the annual expense ratios of similar funds, although some Portfolios had expense ratios that were at the higher end in comparison to the similar funds, including the Maxim Small-Cap Value Portfolio, Maxim MidCap Value Portfolio, Maxim Global Bond Portfolio, and Maxim Putnam High Yield Bond Portfolio.  The Board further noted that the Portfolios' expense ratios were near or lower than the median expense ratio for the applicable Morningstar fund category, with the exception of the Maxim Global Bond Portfolio which, relative to the other Portfolios, had an expense ratio that was notably higher than the median expense ratio for its Morningstar fund category.  Additionally, the Board considered the fact that MCM charged higher advisory fees to certain internally managed Maxim Bond Portfolios than to certain similarly managed institutional bond portfolios, as well as the differences in the nature and extent of the services provided and the risks assumed by MCM in connection with those Maxim accounts and the similarly managed institutional accounts, as presented by MCM.

With respect to the Index Portfolios and Profile Portfolios, the Board noted that the Portfolios' total expense ratios were within the range of those of similar funds, even though some Portfolios had expense ratios that were at the higher end of the range, including the Maxim Bond Index Portfolio and Maxim S&P 500 Portfolio.  With regard to the sub-advisory fees, it was noted that those fees are paid by MCM out of its management fees, and that the rates payable by MCM to the Sub-Advisers were the generally result of arms-length negotiations given that, with the exception of Putnam, none of the Sub-Advisers is an affiliate of MCM.

As for the Lifetime Portfolios, the Board noted that the Portfolios' management fees were within the range of fees paid by similar funds, although some of the fees were at the higher end of the range.  The Board also noted that the total annual operating expense ratios of the Lifetime Portfolios were higher in comparison to the expense ratios of similar funds.

The Board also considered the overall financial soundness of MCM and each Sub-Adviser and the profits estimated to have been realized by MCM and its affiliates and, to the extent practicable, by the Sub-Advisers.  The Board requested and reviewed the financial statements and profitability information from MCM and, to the extent such information was available, the Sub-Advisers.  In evaluating the information provided by MCM, the Board noted that there is no recognized standard or uniform methodology for determining profitability for this purpose.  The Board further noted that there are limitations inherent in allocating costs and calculating profitability for an organization such as MCM, and that it is difficult to make comparisons of profitability between advisers because comparative information is generally not publicly available and is affected by numerous factors, including the adviser's organization, capital structure and cost of capital, the types of funds it manages, its mix of business, and the adviser's assumptions regarding allocations of revenue and expenses.  Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the costs of the services provided and the profits estimated to have been realized by MCM and, if applicable, the Sub-Advisers were reasonable in relation to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided.

Economies of Scale

The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Portfolios grow and whether current fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of investors.  In evaluating economies of scale, the Board considered, among other things, the current level of management and sub-advisory fees payable by the Portfolios and MCM, respectively, comparative fee information, the profitability and financial condition of MCM, and the current level of Portfolio assets.   Based on the information provided, the Board concluded that the Portfolios generally were not of sufficient size to identify economies of scale.

Other Factors

The Board considered ancillary benefits derived or to be derived by MCM or the Sub-Advisers from their relationships with the Portfolios as part of the total mix of information evaluated by the Board.  In this regard, the Board noted that certain Sub-Advisers received ancillary benefits from soft-dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research to the Sub-Adviser in return for allocating the Portfolio's brokerage to such brokers.  The Board also noted where services were provided to the Portfolios by an affiliate of MCM or a Sub-Adviser, and took into account the fact that the Portfolios are used as funding vehicles under variable life and annuity contracts offered by insurance companies affiliated with MCM and as funding vehicles under retirement plans for which affiliates of MCM may provide various retirement plan services.  The Board also considered the extent to which the Profile Portfolios may invest in certain fixed interest contracts issued and guaranteed by MCM's parent company, Great-West Life & Annuity Insurance Company ("GWL&A"), and the benefits derived or to be derived by GWL&A from such investments.  Additionally, the Board considered the extent to which GWL&A and its affiliated insurance companies may receive benefits under the federal income tax laws with respect to tax deductions and credits.  The Board concluded that the Portfolios' management and sub-advisory fees were reasonable, taking into account any ancillary benefits derived by MCM or the Sub-Adviser.
