Dear Investor:

Thank you for your continued affiliation with The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company. The confidence and trust you place in us reaffirms our commitment to helping policyholders take advantage of all life’s possibilities. We also take pride in being a financially strong mutual insurance company that delivers on our promises, and I’m very pleased to bring you the following capital markets summary. Please remember that regardless of what the markets may bring, short-term performance changes should not distract you from your long-term financial plan, and it’s a good idea to meet with your investment professional regularly to make sure that your asset allocation remains on target.

Stocks, which moved dramatically higher in the first quarter of 2012 on the news of generally stronger than expected economic data, job growth and corporate profits, gave some of those gains back in the second quarter. Concerns relating to a global growth slowdown, potential fiscal problems in the U.S. and the continued European debt crisis had investors shunning higher-risk assets in favor of the safety of fixed-income securities for most of the second quarter. From a sector perspective, defensive sectors such as Utilities and Consumer Staples experienced relatively weaker returns in comparison to the Telecommunications, Financial and Technology sectors which all experienced double digit gains for the first half of the year. The Energy sector experienced a negative 2.30 percent return in the first half of the year due mainly to the drop in both oil and natural gas prices. In this environment, the U.S. stock market, as measured by the Wilshire 5000 Equity Index, returned 9.18 percent during the six month period ending June 30.

On a relative basis, large capitalization stocks provided somewhat higher returns than did small and mid capitalization stocks. Large capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 1000 Index, returned 9.38 percent for the six months, while small capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000 Index, returned 8.53 percent and mid capitalization stocks, as measured by the Russell Midcap Index, returned 7.97 percent. From a style perspective, growth stocks outperformed value stocks across all market capitalizations. Some of the underperformance within value stocks can be attributed to the relatively weaker performance within the Utilities sector. Lastly, one of the best performing equity asset classes for the six months was Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) as measured by the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index’s return of 14.91 percent. REITs also have the distinct honor of having the best relative performance over the last one- and three-year periods, 12.92 percent and 32.41 percent, respectively.

International markets, both developed and emerging, ended the six month period behind U.S. equities. Developed international stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index, returned 3.38 percent while emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, returned 4.12 percent. Similar to the U.S., much of the volatility experienced in the international markets had to do with the European sovereign debt crisis. From an emerging markets standpoint, fears of slowing economic growth in China, India, Brazil and other important emerging countries also took its toll. On the final trading day of the second quarter, European leaders announced a series of agreements that bolstered investor sentiment. This provided the markets with some relief after months of political uncertainty as countries, such as Spain, Portugal, Italy and especially Greece, struggled with austerity measures in the face of deep recessions and high unemployment.

Investment-grade fixed-income securities, while enjoying positive returns in the first half of 2012, underperformed high yield bonds. Investment-grade bonds, as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Index, returned 2.37 percent for the six month period, helped in large part by its Treasury exposure. The Credit Suisse First Boston High Yield Bond Index, which began the year with a strong advance, has returned 6.66 percent so far in 2012. Rising demand for government debt due to renewed macroeconomic fears led to a strong rally in longer-dated safe securities, sending the 10-year yield below the previous record set over 60+ years ago. By the end of the second quarter, it was evident that the U.S. Treasury market — large, liquid and relatively safe — had dominated fixed income markets due to all of the global turmoil. In this environment, Treasuries rallied, led by a strong return in the 20+ year maturity bucket as measured by the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Long Bond Index’s second quarter return of 10.32 percent. This brings the Index’s full year return, as of June 30, to a stellar 31.42 percent.

Once again, we thank you for the privilege of serving your financial needs. We hope you’ll work closely with your financial professional to continue to explore your options throughout all life’s stages.

Sincerely,

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Limited Maturity Bond Fund

The Penn Series Limited Maturity Bond Fund returned 0.35% for the period ending June 30, 2012. The Fund’s index, the Barclays U.S. Government/Credit 1-3 year Bond Index, returned 0.58% the same period.

The Fund has historically been managed with a conservative, lower credit risk approach that has historically met total return performance goals without exposing the customer to undue default risk. In the deleveraging economic environment that we foresee, we expect credit and default risk will be greater than most of our peers think. Consequently, we will continue to pursue what we consider a prudent profile towards credit risk and our relative ranking will fluctuate heavily toward whether default premiums rise or fall. We did add risk in the beginning of the year as well as May and June as risk underperformed. A majority of the exposure has been in corporate bonds such as pharmaceuticals and food and beverage. We also continue to add asset-backed securities that have proven credit fundamentals over this cycle and offer floating rate exposure with yield that are equivalent to 5-7 year U.S. Treasuries. Finally, although our positioning in longer dated (4-5 year) versus shorter dated (2-3 year) securities has been a source of outperformance over the last 6 months, we have started to reverse that positioning. We don’t think short-term bond yields have much room to fall, but the same can start to be said for intermediate bond yields as well.

Over the past three years we have experienced periodic bouts of volatility in the risk markets associated with the European Sovereign debt crisis. During the first half of 2012 we experienced the hope of a possible resolution to the European crisis, and the fear that the problems are intractable. In the first quarter risk markets rallied based on the hope created by massive liquidity programs put in place by the European Central Bank only to see the rally fade due to the realization that the liquidity solution was no panacea for the structural problems in Europe. These problems came to the fore again in the second quarter as funding levels for Spain and Italy increased dramatically, and the political situation in Greece continues to be in turmoil. This volatility was exacerbated by a significant slowdown in China. These economies all contributed to a dismal global growth story that is being punctuated daily by weak economic data in the United States such as retail sales, region industrial activity surveys, and employment data. These challenges to risk assets have been partially offset by the voracious demand for high grade fixed income by retail investors.

Although we have been adding risk this year, we by no means are waving the all clear sign. The structural deficiencies in peripheral Europe are deep. A chaotic exit from the European currency union by a larger European country is still a low probability event, but a deep painful recession for the peripheral European countries is all but assured. This has created a world where normal cyclical slowdowns such as the one in China are very hard to manage from a global growth perspective. Although we do not view being systematically overweight risk as prudent at this point, we have capacity. During bouts of volatility, we are willing to buy higher risk bonds if and when markets provide us sufficient risk premium to do so.

Quality Bond Fund

The Quality Bond Fund returned 2.12% for the period ending June 30, 2012. The Fund’s index, the Barclays Capital U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 2.37% over the same period.

Over the past three years we have experienced periodic bouts of volatility in the risk markets associated with the European Sovereign debt crisis. During the first half of 2012 we experienced the hope of a possible resolution to the European crisis, and the fear that the problems are intractable. In the first quarter risk markets rallied based on the hope created by massive liquidity programs put in place by the European Central Bank only to see the rally fade due to the realization that the liquidity solution was no panacea for the structural problems in Europe. These problems came to the fore again in the second quarter as funding levels for Spain and Italy increased dramatically, and the political situation in Greece continues to be in turmoil. This volatility was exacerbated by a significant slowdown in China. These economies all contributed to a dismal global growth story that is being punctuated daily by weak economic data in the United States such as retail sales, region industrial activity surveys, and employment data. These challenges to risk assets have been partially offset by the voracious demand for high grade fixed income by retail investors.

Results for 2012 and the last three years have been volatile for the Fund. Our thesis has been that these periodic bouts of volatility create windows of opportunity, but patience is a virtue. We added risk in the beginning of the year as well as May and June as risk underperformed. A majority of the exposure has been in the corporate sector including riskier sectors such as banks and insurance. We also continued to add asset-backed securities that have proven credit fundamentals over this cycle and offer floating rate exposure with yield that are equivalent to 5-7 year U.S. Treasuries. Finally, we have been selling 30-year securities to buy 5-year securities as we start to close out a strategy of owning longer dated rather than short-dated securities that has been very profitable over the last couple of years. Although we don’t necessarily think short interest rates have much more room to drop, the same can start to be said for longer dated rates at this point.

Although we added risk in the previous quarter, we by no means are waving the all clear sign. The structural deficiencies in peripheral Europe are deep. A chaotic exit from the European currency union by a larger European

country is still a low probability event, but a deep painful recession for the peripheral European countries is all but assured. This has created a world where normal cyclical slowdowns such as the one in China are very hard to manage from a global growth perspective. We think we have plenty of capacity to take advantage of future volatility, and expect it. In this environment it is not unreasonable to expect short-term interest rates and longer term interest rates to continue to converge. We will buy higher risk bonds if and when markets provide us sufficient risk premium to do so.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

High Yield Bond Fund

The Penn Series High Yield Bond Fund returned 6.65% in the first half of 2012 while its benchmark, the Credit Suisse High Yield Bond Index, returned 6.66%.

High yield was one of the top-performing fixed income asset classes during the first three months of 2012, extending the recovery from 2011’s volatile third-quarter correction. While global macro concerns triggered a correction in May, high yield issuers rebounded as the period ended — largely due to some positive outcomes in Europe, including Greek election results.

Spreads tightened yet valuations remained attractive relative to the underlying fundamentals of most high yield issuers, especially given the low default rate.

According to J.P. Morgan, $54.6 billion of new high yield bonds came to the market during the second quarter, roughly half of the first quarter’s record volume. The slowdown in issuance combined with lean broker-dealer inventories contributed to the surprising stability of the below investment-grade market in the face of continued macroeconomic challenges.

A modest cash position detracted during a strong performance environment. We seek to effectively put money to work, and bouts of macro-driven weakness can create opportunities to invest in fundamentally sound businesses at attractive valuations.

Credit selection and an overweight allocation to the financials sector contributed to relative performance for the year-to-date period. Ally Financial, one of our largest holdings, rallied after receiving competing bids for its troubled mortgage unit. Our investment team increased our overweight allocation in the financials sector over the past six months and the Fund benefited. Several of our financial companies appear poised to return to investment grade with help from an accommodative Federal Reserve.

Our underweight exposure to building and real estate was a headwind, as these bonds rebounded significantly, especially during the first quarter. While we added select, higher-quality issuers, our exposure to the space remains minimal.

Our high-conviction position in Univision Communications boosted returns in the broadcasting sector. This issuer signed a new multi-platform distribution agreement with DISH Networks in the first quarter that will broaden its

viewing audience. Univision Communications is a Spanish-

language broadcasting company that allows advertisers to efficiently access the fastest-growing population segment in the U.S.

We hesitate to make an educated forecast for the second half of 2012 given that numerous uncertainties could derail the impressive year-to-date returns of the high yield asset class. Investor sentiment remains unpredictable and generally cautious. Company management teams also seem more guarded, as evidenced by weakening hiring trends in the United States. Moreover, deep-seated issues in Europe are unlikely to be solved any time soon, and the U.S. political system will again be tested by the looming expiration of fiscal support packages.

High yield bonds appear solidly positioned amid investors’ ongoing search for yield in a low interest rate environment. This is particularly true given that default rates are expected to remain well below historical averages over the next two years. For this reason, we reiterate our conviction in the relative attractiveness of the asset class for patient, long-term investors.

Flexibly Managed Fund

The Penn Series Flexibly Managed Fund returned 7.03% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to its benchmarks the S&P 500 Index’s return of 9.49% and the Merrill Lynch Corporate/Government Index’s return of 2.79%.

Stocks were the strongest-performing asset class in the Fund, outperforming the S&P 500 Index. Our bond holdings also posted a positive return. Our holdings in convertibles also performed well, but they lagged their benchmark. On an absolute basis, the industrials and business services and the information technology sectors were sizable contributors to performance. The energy sector was the only sector to detract from performance.

U.S. stocks produced moderate gains, extending the rebound that started last October. Market volatility was high, driven by global economic uncertainty. Stocks rose briskly in the first quarter, amid optimism about U.S. economic growth, particularly employment trends. The European debt crisis became less acute following two long-term refinancing operations by the European Central Bank. However, equities surrendered some of their gains in the spring, as U.S. job growth moderated and the situation in the eurozone deteriorated. Election results in Greece and France revealed growing popular resentment toward fiscal austerity measures.

During the first quarter, we used the market’s strength to trim our equity weight by selling select names that held up well, particularly those in the consumer discretionary and information technology sectors. While our convertibles weight declined slightly since the end of last year, our fixed income allocation increased at the margin. The Fund’s cash position grew, as we used the equity rally in the first quarter to pare back our equity weight.

Industrials and business services was a leading contributor to performance. Shares of Ingersoll-Rand rose on the news that Nelson Peltz’s Trian Fund Management established a stake in the company. Elsewhere, shares of Cooper Industries rallied sharply on the announcement that Eaton would acquire the electrical products company at a premium. Performance was also aided by stock selection in the information technology sector, as shares of Apple were up sharply and Fiserv reported strong first-quarter earnings.

As concerns over global economic growth intensify, we believe investors are anticipating that the Federal Reserve will enact a third round of quantitative easing in an attempt to revive the U.S. economy. We continue to find value in companies with stable cash flows that do not pay dividends, as dividend-paying companies’ valuations have been stretched recently. Within the fixed income space, we continue to view leveraged loans as reasonable investments due to their floating rate structure and their high position in the capital structure. We have kept our cash position elevated and are content to wait for more compelling opportunities to redeploy the capital.

Large Growth Stock Fund

The Penn Series Large Growth Stock Fund returned 13.29% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 10.08% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

U.S. stocks produced moderate gains in the first half of 2012. Market volatility was high, driven by global economic uncertainty and European sovereign debt concerns. Stocks rose briskly in the first quarter amid optimism about U.S. economic growth, particularly employment trends. However, equities pulled back in the spring as U.S. job growth moderated, the Chinese economy decelerated, and the situation in the eurozone deteriorated. The period ended with a European summit resulting in policy statements signaling steps toward greater economic integration. Large-cap stocks outperformed their smaller counterparts, as measured by Russell indices. Growth stocks outpaced value.

Information technology was the leading outperformer, driven primarily by stock selection and also by favorable overweighting. Shares of Apple were up sharply on continued strong demand for its products. The company is expected to release the next generation of the iPhone later this year. LinkedIn reported strong user growth outside the U.S., sending share prices higher. The company continues to expand the hiring tools it offers and has reached additional users through its mobile application.

Consumer discretionary also outperformed on stock selection. The Internet and catalog retail industry contributed strongly, as consumers worldwide shifted from traditional in-store purchases to online retailers. Shares of priceline.com soared as the company continued to see an increase in online travel bookings. In June, the company announced expansion of its website to offer consumers three different ways to book hotels. After declining in the fourth quarter of 2011 due to higher costs, shares of Amazon.com rose during the first half of 2012 after the Internet retailer reported an improvement in revenue and repurchased $960 million in stock.

Energy outperformed on a beneficial sector allocation, more than offsetting slightly negative stock selection. A significant average underweight to the sector contributed to relative results as an oversupply of oil and gas combined with a decrease in demand sent prices sharply lower, hurting energy company profits.

Telecommunication services was a positive contributor to relative results primarily due to stock selection. Wireless

communication tower companies, such as Crown Castle International, continued to benefit from global consumer demand for smartphones, which can download more data and require a more robust wireless network.

The health care sector performed relatively in line with the benchmark. A notable underperformer was biotechnology company Gilead Sciences, which surprised investors in February with negative results from an ongoing hepatitis C trial, sending share prices sharply lower.

The market environment has deteriorated in recent months. Although the U.S. economy continues to demonstrate slow, steady growth, fiscal uncertainty in the U.S. and the worsening economic situation in Europe have led to growing caution among investors. A softer Chinese economy has further dampened risk appetites. Despite risks to the global economy, U.S. corporate fundamentals are generally strong. Stock valuations are appealing following May’s sharp sell-off. We believe that our bottom-up approach to selecting stocks, rather than attempting to gauge the impact of macroeconomic events, will continue to serve investors well in the coming months.

Large Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Growth Fund returned 7.26% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 10.08% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

During the first three months of the year, the market shook off concerns regarding the lingering European debt crisis and rising oil prices, and responded favorably to a number of positive economic signals, such as the falling unemployment rate, an up-tick in consumer confidence, improving automobile sales and positive capital goods spending.

The equity markets were then beset by worries for the next three months as Greece’s potential exit from the eurozone, ailing Spanish banks, and slowing economic growth both in the United States and abroad weighed heavily on investors’ minds. With the economic picture once again becoming cloudy investors sought the safety of U.S. Treasuries, as the yield on the 10-Year Treasury Note declined from 2.2% to 1.7%. As investors flocked to safer Treasury investments, equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, traded 2.8% lower for the three month period. Despite the aforementioned headwinds which played a large role in investor sentiment and in the equity world, the stock market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, produced a solid gain of 9.5% for the first six months of the year.

On an absolute basis seven of the nine economic sectors in which the Fund is invested generated positive returns for the semi-annual period. On a relative basis, the consumer staples and utility sectors contributed while the technology and health care sectors detracted. The main contributors to relative performance within the consumer staples sector were Whole Foods Market and Coca Cola Co. while Comcast and Enbridge were the main contributors within the utility sector. Within technology, SanDisk and Ubiquiti Networks detracted the most. Gilead Sciences and Agilent Technologies were the main detractors within the health care sector.

There was no shortage of gloomy financial news during the second quarter. But we think there is also considerable cause for optimism: the worst-case scenario of Greece leaving the eurozone has, so far, been avoided, and efforts are underway to restructure the debt of Spanish banks. Keep in mind, the S&P 500 Index climbed for six straight months before its second-quarter stumble, and corrections (a drop of about 10%) typically occur about once per year.

We think that when economic threats are as exhaustively chronicled as they have been of late, they have already been largely reflected in share prices, so we feel the downside risk is limited at this point. Other positive signs include the recent decline in gasoline prices, which should free up cash for consumers, and more recent indications that the housing market is on the mend.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Large Core Growth Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Growth Fund returned 12.38% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 10.08% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index.

Our positioning in the consumer discretionary space is currently biased towards companies with strong global brands, those serving the upper end of the consumer spectrum, and those with exposure to growing demand in international markets. Lululemon athletica is a company that fits these criteria. Lululemon, a specialty retailer of high-end athletic apparel, has the unique position of controlling the development, distribution and marketing of its brand. The company experienced fantastic product demand with growth expected to continue through international expansion, product line extensions for women beyond yoga and entirely new offerings for men. Priceline.com was another solid contributor to returns during the period. The company continues to execute on its plan to consolidate the online travel market, particularly in Europe.

Although consumer staples is an area of the market where superior growth is difficult to find, our focus on some unique areas led to outperformance. We established a position in Monster Beverage during the period. Monster is a leader in the fast growing energy drink market with brands such as Monster Energy and Java Energy. The company has strong brand recognition and growth potential through new product introductions and international expansion.

Nowhere in the market is secular growth more prevalent than the information technology sector. As more and more people rely on wireless devices for work productivity and flexibility, storage solutions and everyday tasks the demand for technology solutions compounds. Benefitting from this growth are companies such as Avago Technologies. As a component supplier to Apple’s iPhone and other leading handset manufacturers, Avago is benefitting from strong smart-phone adoption trends and a higher absolute content level in new products.

After contributing to returns in 2011, stock selection in health care detracted from relative returns during the period. Shire PLC, a leading manufacturer of attention deficit disorder drugs, was a notable detractor. In addition to the successful attention deficit disorder franchise, the company’s future growth is dependent on the development of a broad range of orphan drug therapies, drugs for rare and often fatal diseases that command premium pricing. Without immediate visibility into the success of those therapies, the stock paused during the

market rally and we exited the position during the period. Bristol-Myers Squibb was also a laggard during the period as the company reported slightly weaker than expected financial results. We continue to hold the position as we believe Bristol-Myers has one of the best pharmaceutical pipelines, with several milestone clinical results expected in 2012.

We believe that episodes of macro driven markets are here to stay. There are simply too many structural uncertainties in the world. As a result, the volatility of the first half of this year– eurozone fears, political stalemates, “risk off” sentiment — did not come as a surprise to us. The key question now is will this bout of macro uncertainty result in downward revisions to future earnings. So far during this recovery, corporate earnings have been extremely resilient to the multitude of macro shocks. Many companies, particularly those here in the U.S., have prudently managed balance sheets and capitalized on healthy global growth, especially in the emerging markets. However, with Europe facing recession and China facing questions about its growth trajectory, we would not be surprised to see more companies temper future expectations.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Large Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Cap Value Fund returned 4.56% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 8.68% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index.

The year began during a period of improved market sentiment in which the United States managed to avoid a return to recession and European policymakers appeared to take steps to address the region’s sovereign debt and banking sector crises. Renewed investor optimism helped produce gains across a number of international equity markets over the first three months of 2012. The rebound across equities gained momentum after the European Central Bank implemented the Long-Term Refinancing Operation (LTRO) to enhance liquidity for troubled banks and reduce rates on newly issued sovereign debt securities.

However, the second quarter was a volatile time for global markets. The fear of contagion from the worsening European sovereign debt crisis and a recession across much of Europe drove negative market sentiment, particularly over May and June. In the U.S., slower than expected first quarter growth also contributed to a sell-off in the U.S. stock market. Consumer confidence dropped as U.S. unemployment figures ticked slightly upwards after showing signs of improvement from the recession highs. However, the period ended on a positive note for the markets. The results of elections in Greece avoided that county’s immediate exit from eurozone and European policymakers continued their efforts to stabilize the situation in the region through lending and other means. These events appeared to soothe market jitters slightly in the final days of the period.

During the period, four out of the top five performing stocks for the Fund were within the Financials sector: Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase, U.S. Bancorp and MetLife. Following another round of bank stress tests by the Federal Reserve in March 2012, stocks of banks, including Wells Fargo, JPMorgan Chase and U.S Bancorp rallied. We exited our position in JPMorgan by period end. The stock of insurance company MetLife performed positively early in the period, and we exited our position over the first quarter, locking in gains. Also contributing to performance was consumer discretionary stock Comcast. The cable provider’s high-speed Internet subscriptions increased during the period, which contributed to a positive earnings surprise. Additionally, Comcast aggressively repurchased shares and increased its dividend by over forty percent.

The most significant detractors from performance were Juniper Networks, Navistar International and GenOn Energy. Networking company Juniper experienced declines over the second quarter of 2012, announcing a decrease in

revenue. Navistar, a manufacturer of commercial military and military trucks, was negatively impacted by higher costs. It also has lost share in the Heavy Duty Class 8 truck market as the company struggles to develop an engine that meets new emissions rules. GenOn Energy is one of the largest generators of wholesale electricity in the United States. Shares of GenOn were hampered by declining natural gas prices, which hit 10-year lows during the period. We continue to believe that GenOn will benefit from its healthy balance sheet and the potential for higher power prices stemming from EPA regulations that may essentially force the closure of several competing power plants.

Also hurting performance were Humana and Cisco Systems. Humana detracted from results as the managed health care company reported a decrease in profit in its first quarter, breaking a streak of four straight profit increases. Networking company Cisco declined after it releasing earnings guidance below analysts’ expectations.

At quarter end, the Fund had its most significant overweight positions relative to the Index in the health care, information technology and consumer discretionary sectors, with underweight positions in the financials, energy, utilities and telecommunication services sectors.

Large Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Large Core Value Fund returned 8.07% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 8.68% return for its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index.

The first six months of 2012 were marked by distinctly different quarters. The equity markets staged a broad-based rally during the first quarter of 2012 with most equity indices notching double digit gains in the backdrop of generally favorable macroeconomic developments. However, the second quarter of 2012 gave investors an unwelcome sense of déjà vu. For the third consecutive year, global equity markets began the year on a strong note, only to falter in the spring months amid renewed macroeconomic concerns.

After several months of relative calm, the European debt crisis intensified in May, putting downward pressure on stocks. As debt and banking woes spread from Greece to Spain, the collective investors’ psyche was further dampened by a weak U.S. jobs report, including an uptick in the unemployment rate. Following an upbeat forecast in April, the Federal Reserve in June revised economic projections downward and extended its “Operation Twist” program aimed at lowering long-term interest rates. Slowing economies in China, India and other developing nations added to investor pessimism. Many investors fled to U.S. Treasuries and other perceived safe havens, driving yields on those assets to record low levels. Late in the quarter, stocks regained some lost ground on positive readings from the U.S. housing sector and hopes for a meaningful resolution in Europe.

Disappointing stock selection in select sectors as well as unfavorable sector allocation decisions were a drag on relative results. Helping to partially offset these factors, favorable stock selection gains, particularly within information technology, aided relative performance.

Despite underperforming higher quality, lower beta stocks during the second quarter 2012, robust gains for lower quality, higher beta stocks during the first three months of 2012 propelled them ahead of their counterparts for the first six month period ended June 30, 2012, detracting from the Fund’s relative performance over the period.

Unfavorable stock selection results in financials and energy weighed on relative performance. In financials, not owning Bank of America, which posted a strong first quarter gain, hurt relative performance results. Within energy, overweight positions in Occidental Petroleum and Peabody Energy were a drag on performance. In telecommunication services, avoidance of strong-performing Verizon Communications also detracted.

Positive stock selection decisions within information technology and health care contributed to performance. Having exposure to select strong-performing information technology stalwarts including Apple, Microsoft, and Oracle, boosted relative performance during the period. In health care, an overweight to UnitedHealth Group was additive. Other top contributors over the period included TJX, American Express, and Sempra Energy.

While short-term risks continue to dominate the market’s direction, we believe the long-term case for equities remains favorable. In addition, we are still of the belief that U.S. fundamentals and economic conditions remain more stable and attractive than in much of the developed world.

From a positioning standpoint, the Fund remains quite balanced relative to the Index across the 10 economic sectors. We have adhered to our framework of modest sector over/under weights in this environment, placing the most emphasis on stock selection. Valuations for large-cap companies remain attractive relative to both historical levels and other asset classes. In effect, the Fund remains biased toward larger-cap companies and has maintained its overweight to higher-quality companies.

Index 500 Fund

The Penn Series Index 500 Fund returned 9.30% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 9.49% return for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.

Stocks in the U.S. began 2012 with an impressive uptrend, as ample liquidity and defensive positioning fostered persistent share buying. Quarterly earnings reports were solid, and a steady drumbeat of auspicious economic news, including declining jobless claims and rallying consumer confidence, provided an encouraging fundamental backdrop. The welcome signs of stronger activity even extended to the auto and housing industries. Climbing briskly in each of the first three months of 2012, the S&P 500 Index notched its sixth double-digit quarter in the last three years.

Sector performance across U.S. equities in the first quarter favored those groups that stood to benefit most from a more promising economic situation, although lingering worries about international activity took a toll on resource-related issues later in the period. Leading the way in both March and the first quarter as a whole was the financial sector, which had brought up the rear over the course of 2011. Information technology was not far behind, though, notching a close second for both the latest month and the full first quarter. In third place for both March and the full first quarter were the consumer discretionary stocks, which benefited from an ample rebound in housing-related names.

Stocks stumbled in early April when March payroll figures came in much lower than expected, but another season of solid earnings reports allowed them to recover their equilibrium within the month. Alas, the stability quickly vanished when May brought a new set of soggy employment figures and elections in Europe fostered growing concerns that Greece might wind up leaving the eurozone. Although the turmoil overseas spurred a rally in the dollar that made U.S. equities global outperformers on an unhedged basis, and a steep retreat in oil prices promised welcome summer relief for many U.S. consumers, the May payroll gains that were reported on June 1 reminded investors that the U.S. economy was hardly a panacea.

Growth-oriented portfolios also started to exhibit a change in character during the second quarter. Having outpaced value names handily early in 2012, growth issues found progress tougher as the spring progressed. Value stocks, on the other hand, began to attract buyers in search of a

boost from accommodative policy. If central banks were to act aggressively, the best equity gainers might arise from downtrodden cyclical issues, and not from the steadier growers that already had attracted ample capital.

While economically sensitive sectors like energy, materials, and industrials started to interest bargain hunters during June, they could not recover fully from weak relative performance earlier in the second quarter, which belonged primarily to defensive issues. As the growth outlook stalled, commodity prices tumbled, and policy makers showed little clear intention or capacity to boost longer-term prospects, income producers like telecommunications services and utilities were among the quarterly winners. But the best performance in June came from the health care sector, which rallied 5.8% on the month, barely edging out energy and telecommunications. Financials and materials also bounced back strongly and outperformed the S&P 500 in June. The weakest sector in June was consumer discretionary, but it still produced a 1.9% gain for the month, and the discretionary sector remained an outperformer for both the second quarter and the full first half.

Mid Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Growth Fund returned 5.02% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 8.10% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

During the first three months of the year, the market shook off concerns regarding the lingering European debt crisis and rising oil prices, and responded favorably to a number of positive economic signals, such as the falling unemployment rate, an up-tick in consumer confidence, improving automobile sales and positive capital goods spending.

The equity markets were then beset by worries for the next three months as Greece’s potential exit from the eurozone, ailing Spanish banks, and slowing economic growth both in the United States and abroad weighed heavily on investors’ minds. With the economic picture once again becoming cloudy investors sought the safety of U.S. Treasuries, as the yield on the 10-Year Treasury Note declined from 2.2% to 1.7%. As investors flocked to safer Treasury investments, equities, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, traded 2.8% lower for the three month period. Despite the aforementioned headwinds which played a large role in investor sentiment and in the equity world, the stock market, as represented by the S&P 500 Index, produced a solid gain of 9.5% for the first six months of the year.

On an absolute basis seven of the eight economic sectors in which the Fund was invested generated positive results during the first half of 2012. The Fund had no exposure to utilities. On a relative basis, the consumer staples and financial sectors contributed while the technology and energy sectors detracted. Within consumer staples, Monster Beverage and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters led the way. VeriFone Systems and Equifax were the main contributors within the financial sector. The worst performers in technology were SanDisk and ON Semiconductor. The main detractors within the energy sector were SM Energy and Peabody Energy.

There was no shortage of gloomy financial news during the second quarter. But we think there is also considerable cause for optimism: the worst-case scenario of Greece leaving the eurozone has, so far, been avoided, and efforts are underway to restructure the debt of Spanish banks. Keep in mind, the S&P 500 Index climbed for six straight months before its second-quarter stumble, and corrections (a drop of about 10%) typically occur about once per year.

We think that when economic threats are as exhaustively chronicled as they have been of late, they have already been largely reflected in share prices, so we feel the downside risk is limited at this point. Other positive signs include the recent decline in gasoline prices, which should free up cash for consumers, and more recent indications that the housing market is on the mend.

Mid Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Cap Value Fund returned 6.78% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 7.78% return for its benchmark, the Russell Micap Value Index.

The bull market that started in the fourth quarter of 2011 continued into 2012, with the broad market averages up around 30% at quarter end from the October lows at the end of the first quarter. The first quarter rally was fueled by better economic data in the U.S., the second round of the European Central Bank’s (ECB) Long Term Refunding Operation (LTRO), and a short-term solution to the Greek sovereign debt issue. Investor sentiment turned negative for most of the second quarter with continued financial turmoil in Europe and a slowdown in global economic growth. The market continued with its risk-on/risk-off investor sentiment and volatility increased. While stocks were down significantly in April and May, they rallied in June on hopes that the Federal Reserve and the ECB would once again step in with increased liquidity.

After outperforming the benchmark in the first quarter, the Fund underperformed during the second quarter, which resulted in slight underperformance for the first half of the year. In general, we attribute the underperformance during the second quarter to investor disdain for contrarian/turnaround situations, of which we own many. In fact, despite several of these companies selling at compelling valuations, during the downdrafts these stocks declined more than the market. In many cases, we have used the market volatility to add to positions where the investment case is still intact.

While the macroeconomic environment remains challenging, Fund valuations, in our opinion, are favorable. We have been emphasizing companies that generate substantial free cash flow that is being shared with stockholders through share repurchase programs and dividend payments. While we believe we are identifying attractive investment opportunities, recently we have seen macro and geopolitical forces creating a high degree of correlation among stocks, thus negating stock selection.

In the first half of the year, the Fund benefitted most from individual stocks where strategic events were announced. Several of our top performers were involved in corporate restructuring activity. Sunoco accepted an offer to sell the company at a premium to Energy Transfer Partners; Constellation Brands agreed to acquire the remaining 50% of Crown Imports, which is highly accretive; and Corrections Corp. announced it was exploring creating a REIT structure.

Detracting from performance was our underweight in financial services (despite positive contributions from most

of our holdings in this sector) and the significant price pressure that was placed on our producer durables holdings, where in several cases (e.g., Navistar International, our top detractor, Brink’s, ITT and KBR) stock specific issues surfaced. A few of our contrarian consumer names, including Safeway and Best Buy came under pressure, despite, in our opinion, compelling valuation levels. Additionally, overseas sales and the perceived risks of recessions abroad hurt our technology stock Freescale Semiconductor, another significant detractor.

As we begin the second half of the year, considerable uncertainty remains including the fiscal cliff in the U.S., the forthcoming presidential election and general gridlock in Washington, a decelerating profit growth outlook, financial instability and turmoil in Europe, and a slowdown in economic growth in China. While this macro economic backdrop is concerning, Fund valuations remain very attractive and discount a large part of this uncertainty, in our opinion. We strongly believe that over time the true value of an enterprise gets reflected in its stock price and that volatility in the market creates opportunity for value investors. As a result, we think the Fund is positioned to benefit when the macro environment improves.

Mid Core Value Fund

The Penn Series Mid Core Value Fund returned 3.66% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 7.78% return for its benchmark, the Russell Midcap Value Index.

During the six month period, stock selection within the industrials and financials sectors detracted from the Fund’s relative performance. Within industrials, shares of engineering and construction firm Jacobs Engineering Group declined following disappointing fiscal second quarter results, partly due to budgetary constraints and project delays in the company’s government segment. In addition, shares of Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, a provider of commercial information and insight on businesses, fell as the company has struggled to acquire new customers, partly due to increased competition. We eliminated this position from the Fund. Within financials, shares of Lazard Ltd., a financial advisory and asset management firm, fell on concerns about margins, as the firm’s compensation expense is expected to rise in the coming year. The Fund was also negatively impacted by an underweight allocation within the financials sector.

Contributing to relative performance during the six month period was positive stock selection within the health care and telecommunication services sectors. Within health care, DaVita, a provider of dialysis services for patients with chronic kidney failure, announced first quarter earnings that beat expectations, aided by strong volumes and tight cost controls. The market reacted favorably to the company’s May announcement that it would acquire HealthCare Partners, an operator of primary care medical groups. In addition, shares of Community Health Systems, an operator of hospitals, reacted favorably to the Supreme Court ruling upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The firm is expected to benefit from the ACA as the insured population grows. Within telecommunication services, our position in CenturyLink, an integrated communications services company, was a top contributor, as the firm continues to benefit from increased investment and broadband service offerings to its customers, as well as cost synergies derived from recent acquisitions. The Fund’s underweight allocation within the utilities sector also benefited relative performance.

We continue to execute a time-tested investment process predicated on valuation analysis and independent fundamental research. While we are cognizant of several risk factors, including uncertainty in Europe, the U.S. “fiscal cliff,” a presidential election, and a slowing economy in

China, we believe that the Fund is properly positioned to benefit in the event of a continued slow expansion of the U.S. economy. The health care sector is now the largest overweight in the Fund, primarily concentrated in the pharmaceuticals and health care providers and services industries. Within the industrials sector, we significantly reduced our exposure to machinery firms during the period. However, this sector remains a large overweight within the Fund. We decreased our position in the energy sector, as we sold out of companies negatively affected by low natural gas prices. In addition, we reduced our exposure within materials, mainly in the chemicals segment. During the six month period, we increased our exposure to the utilities sector, although this sector is currently the largest underweight in the Fund relative to the index. We also increased our exposure to financials, particularly in insurance companies, although we continue to be underweight within the sector.

SMID Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Growth Fund returned 10.91% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 8.44% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth Index.

Stock selection within the technology and industrial sectors drove returns during the period. Within technology, shares of Equinix, a leading provider of data center services, appreciated 73%. Improving demand, specifically among the firm’s financial services customer base, combined with a growing international footprint, helped the company to report better than expected revenue and earnings. In what has become an increasingly common occurrence, we used this strength as an opportunity to take gains and trimmed our Equinix position during the period. Additionally within the sector, Avago Technologies gained after reporting better than expected earnings. As a component supplier to Apple’s iPhone and other leading handset manufacturers, Avago is benefitting from strong smart-phone adoption trends and a higher absolute content level in new products.

Among our industrial holdings, Chart Industries gained due to positive trends in the natural gas market. The company produces heat exchangers that are critical to the liquefaction process of natural gas. Additionally, the firm’s distribution and storage business is experiencing significant growth as shipments of liquefied natural gas to emerging economies such as China and India have increased. Another holding benefitting from strong underlying business trends is TransDigm Group. This aerospace parts manufacturer experienced strong demand in its key aftermarket operations.

Although consumer staples is a sector where we are typically underweight versus the benchmark, our focus on the fastest growing staples companies led to outperformance. We established a position in Monster Beverage during the period, a move that was rewarded. Monster is a leader in the fast growing energy drink market with brands such as Monster Energy and Java Energy. The company has strong brand recognition and growth potential through new product introductions and international expansion. Another example in the staples sector was Hain Celestial Group, a company focused squarely in the expanding natural and organic segment of the food industry. Hain’s management execution has boosted earnings growth through strong brand development and broader distribution.

The substantial decline in crude oil prices and the persistently low price of natural gas plagued the energy sector during the period. Natural gas continued to be affected by the excess supply created by drilling technology advancements. Nearly every energy portfolio

holding declined during the period as pricing pressure continued on these commodities. One exception was Cabot Oil & Gas which bucked the trend and generated a healthy return. Cabot remains one of the lowest cost producers with strong production growth and a high quality balance sheet, enabling it to weather the commodity price storm.

Our response to this environment has changed little from the past few quarters. The cornerstone of our view is that in a world struggling to grow, companies that innovate to create true secular, organic growth are scarce, and thus more valuable. This simple view is expressed by the expected forward 12-month growth rate of your portfolio compared to the broad market. The level of expected growth is so significantly higher that, barring a massive macro shock, we would expect solid performance in the coming months. We are being cautious with macro sensitive exposures in an attempt to isolate our stock selection within secular growers. While sticking to our growth discipline, our process has uncovered exciting new themes, especially in the health care and consumer staples sectors. These themes — biotechnology, maturing pipelines within pharmaceuticals, health and wellness products, beverages, rural consumers — have proven to be strong additions to our long-standing overweights in technology and consumer discretionary.

SMID Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series SMID Cap Value Fund returned 7.03% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 8.15% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index.

The Fund’s underperformance during the period was predominately in the consumer cyclicals, financials and technology sectors. In technology, companies such as Vishay and Arrow sold off as investors have become more wary that the eurozone crisis will depress demand for their products. In financials, our underweight in the more defensive REIT sector was a detractor. The largest individual detractors for the quarter were: Health Net, TTM Technologies, Vishay Intertechnology, Bristow Group and First Niagara.

On a more positive note, stock selection in energy, capital equipment and industrial resources contributed to performance. Leading contributors were: Dean Foods, Molina Healthcare, Western Refining, Westlake Chemical and Enersys. Heightened investor anxiety has impacted the deeper value stocks that are the portfolio’s focus. Deeper value stocks, characterized by low price to sales and book ratios, have underperformed for the year.

The market continues to disproportionately favor stocks deemed to have more secure near-term earnings and profitability, creating an opportunity for investors willing to take a longer-term perspective. Though we share investors’ concerns about the economic backdrop, we are finding companies that are overcoming this headwind by aggressively managing their businesses through this tumultuous period.

Small Cap Growth Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Growth Fund returned 4.68% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 8.81% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index.

Year-to-date, stock selection in the information technology, consumer discretionary and financials sectors were the primary detractors from relative performance. Stock selection was positive in the energy, industrials and health care sectors.

Year-to-date, our largest contributor to relative performance is Zoll Medical. During the first quarter, Asahi Kasei announced a tender offer to buy Zoll for a 24% premium over the prior day’s closing price. In the third quarter of 2011, Zoll Medical sold off due to concerns that government reimbursement for its LifeVest product, an external wearable defibrillator, would be cut or limited. At that time, we aggressively bought into the weakness due to our conviction in physician support and utility of the product. IPG Photonics, maker of fiber lasers for industrial use, performed well as it experienced a strong rebound in product demand. The company announced a strong outlook that we believe will alleviate any remaining concerns regarding the company’s geographic exposure to the European and Asian markets. We continue to believe that the company is in the early stages of a highly secular new product cycle.

Our largest relative detractor from performance on a year-to-date basis is Acme Packet. During the second quarter, due to the continued pause in spending by telecommunication service provider customers, Acme Packet experienced excessive selling pressure based on lack of near-term visibility. We had anticipated this trend and continue to find the company’s market position and opportunity compelling. While it is not clear whether spending will re-accelerate in the second half of 2012 or early 2013, we believe that when it does, Acme Packet will be a significant beneficiary. As a result, we have added aggressively to the position based on the stock’s weakness.

During the second quarter, mortgage insurer MGIC Investment Corp. was among the Fund’s largest detractors. While we remain encouraged about gradual improvement in its business and an expected return to profitability in the next year, we became concerned about the company’s

decision to litigate against its largest customer, a government entity. This represented a significant enough change in our thesis to exit the position for the time being.

Our market outlook remains cautiously optimistic. Despite attractive valuations, the market has been focused on global macro concerns, which have been a headwind for fundamentally based investment strategies. We believe U.S. economic growth will remain tepid and the market will remain volatile until macro concerns subside. In this environment, we will continue to seek solid secular growth companies that are not reliant on economic growth to outperform the broad market. We firmly believe that company level fundamentals will once again reassert themselves as the drivers of equity performance, and that our conviction in the investments in the Fund remains unwavering. While recent relative performance has been a struggle, our discipline and understanding of how we add value over the long term has not changed. We are steadfast in our commitment to delivering strong results to our clients moving forward.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

Small Cap Value Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Value Fund returned 6.48% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 8.23% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Value Index.

Stock selection in the financials sector was challenged in the first quarter of 2012, driven by our holdings in Meadowbrook Insurance Group, a specialty insurance underwriter. Its shares declined as the company announced weak quarterly earnings, driven by reserve deficiencies within its sizeable workers’ compensation business. Health care holding, Team Health Holdings, which provides staffing and administrative services to hospitals, was also a bottom performing stock. After outperforming in during the fourth quarter of 2011, its shares declined due to higher operating costs and tax expenses. We view these as being short-term headwinds given this was temporary and driven by net new contract growth.

In the first quarter, stock selection in the Fund was the strongest in the information technology sector. Information technology holding, Parametric Technology positively contributed to returns, driven by a strong earnings announcement with better-than-expected results stemming from strong sales from Europe. Our stock selection in materials was also a strong positive contributor to performance during the first quarter. Materials holding, H.B. Fuller, a manufacturer of specialty chemicals, was a top contributor to returns, boosted by an accretive acquisition during the quarter and continued strong execution by management.

During the second quarter, the largest detractor from performance in the Fund was the consumer discretionary sector. Tempur-Pedic International was the top detractor from returns. Shares of the mattress producer fell as the company lowered its full-year guidance for revenue growth. Management indicated that the company is facing increased competition, particularly from specialty mattress shops. While we continue to believe that there is significant opportunity for gross profit margin expansion, we exited the position as our thesis may take longer to play out than originally expected.

Also at the stock level, shares of Key Energy Services came under pressure, along with the broader energy sector, after the company reported first quarter earnings and revenues that fell short of expectations. Management cited slower growth in U.S. natural gas and higher costs associated with gas and oil price dislocation. Despite these short-term headwinds, we continue to believe that Key Energy is well-positioned to benefit from the rapid growth of oil shale drilling in the U.S. During the second quarter,

our investments in health care contributed positively to returns. Lincare Holdings was the top overall contributor to performance in the sector. Its shares increased due to stronger-than-expected first quarter earnings and revenues, driven by expanded gross margins and lower operating expenses. Investors’ speculation surrounding an additional round of competitive bidding for the company provided further support. We continue to believe that Lincare Holdings should benefit from its exposure to an aging domestic population and further expansion into ancillary businesses.

Looking ahead into the rest of the year, while risks remain over the financial situation in Europe, geopolitical risk, and political uncertainty (especially in a U.S. election year), we remain cautiously optimistic on the U.S. equity market going forward. Companies continue to exhibit solid fundamentals and cash-rich balance sheets. As we gain clarity on some of these macro issues, we believe that this will provide further catalysts for management teams focused on returning value to shareholders through M&A, buybacks, dividends and deleveraging of balance sheets. While markets remain volatile, we believe that there remains an attractive risk-reward trade-off for small-cap stocks.

Small Cap Index Fund

The Penn Series Small Cap Index Fund returned 8.13% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 8.53% return for its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index.

Stocks in the U.S. began 2012 with an impressive uptrend, as ample liquidity and defensive positioning fostered persistent share buying. Quarterly earnings reports were solid, and a steady drumbeat of auspicious economic news, including declining jobless claims and rallying consumer confidence, provided an encouraging fundamental backdrop. The welcome signs of stronger activity even extended to the auto and housing industries. When the results of stress tests on major financial institutions arrived in mid-March, demonstrating that a solid majority of the largest banks could withstand even severe market dislocations, U.S. equities seemed to acquire additional cachet as a haven from funding strains in Europe and slowdown concerns in Asia.

Stocks stumbled in early April when March payroll figures came in much lower than expected, but another season of solid earnings reports allowed them to recover their equilibrium within the month. Alas, the stability quickly vanished when May brought a new set of soggy employment figures and elections in Europe fostered growing concerns that Greece might wind up leaving the eurozone. Although the turmoil overseas spurred a rally in the dollar that made U.S. equities global outperformers on an unhedged basis, and a steep retreat in oil prices promised welcome summer relief for many U.S. consumers, the May payroll gains that were reported on June 1 reminded investors that the U.S. economy was hardly a panacea. Share prices nevertheless began to find support as European authorities sought to assemble bailout mechanisms for the Spanish banking system and new measures from the U.S. Federal Reserve seemed increasingly likely. In the event, the Fed decided to extend Operation Twist, using its balance sheet to keep long yields low. Despite mild disappointment that the Fed did not announce more outright asset purchases, U.S. equities still ended the quarter strong after Europe outlined cooperative plans to recapitalize troubled eurozone banks.

Equity in larger U.S. companies performed best for most of the second quarter, but during June, as sluggish activity at home and banking turmoil in Europe drove hopes for more aggressive policy responses, stock in smaller firms began to attract renewed interest. Having broadly fizzled since they kicked off 2012 with several weeks of outperformance, secondary issues may have started signaling an

improvement in market conditions during the summer. The Russell 2000 Index began its relative rebound early enough to return 5.0% in June and outpace the S&P 500 for the month.

While economically sensitive sectors like energy, materials, and industrials started to interest bargain hunters during June, they could not recover fully from weak relative performance earlier in the second quarter, which belonged primarily to defensive issues. As the growth outlook stalled, commodity prices tumbled, and policy makers showed little clear intention or capacity to boost longer-term prospects, income producers like telecommunications services and utilities were among the quarterly winners. But the best performance in June came from the health care sector, which rallied 5.8% on the month, barely edging out energy and telecommunications. Financials and materials also bounced back strongly and outperformed the S&P 500 in June. The weakest sector in June was consumer discretionary, but it still produced a 1.9% gain for the month, and the discretionary sector remained an outperformer for both the second quarter and the full first half.

Developed International Index Fund

The Penn Series Developed International Index Fund returned 3.49% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 3.38% return for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index.

Stock markets around the world enjoyed strong rallies through January and February, rebounding nicely from the dismal sentiment and downbeat growth expectations that had prevailed into the end of 2011. But the steady progress for equities in the first two months of 2012 quickly turned to hesitation in early March, as tepid economic figures from Europe and Japan gave share buyers pause. A solid majority of EAFE markets lost ground during March, but only one finished the full first quarter in the red. The unfortunate laggard was MSCI Spain.

Stock markets outside the US endured a particularly volatile second quarter, slipping lower in April, tumbling in May, and then chopping through June before finishing with a celebratory surge. The epicenter of the challenges was the eurozone, where the liquidity injections of early 2012 began to lose their buzz in early April, and Spanish and Italian bond yields pushed higher again. The biggest losses and subsequent rebounds during the quarter came within the eurozone, but equities in the broader European region and the Pacific area as well mimicked the overall pattern. In total, the MSCI EAFE Index of developed market equities scored a 7.0% advance for June, but still showed a 7.1% loss for the second quarter as a whole. Still, the late June flurry was enough to get EAFE back into the black on a year-to-date basis.

All 10 EAFE sectors gained ground during the June rebound, with banks leading the financials to a strong 11.0% surge, and telecommunications services also climbing by double digits in the latest month. Cyclical sectors were well represented among the June underperformers, with materials and information technology faring the worst, but still adding more than 3% for the month. There was considerably greater differentiation for the second quarter as a whole. Materials and technology were still the laggards, hurt in turn by mining and hardware names that led these groups to respective three-month losses of 13.2% and 14.2%. Industrials, consumer discretionary, and energy each lagged EAFE by roughly two percentage points for the quarter, and financials were a milder underperformer. But consumer staples and telecommunications services only suffered small losses for the period, and the health care sector actually eked out a second-quarter gain of 0.8%. Consumer discretionary remains the sector leader on a year-to-date basis with a six-month return of 8.6%, and financials, consumer staples, and health care are also outperforming EAFE nicely. Energy is the poorest performing EAFE sector on a year-to-date basis, with a 5.4%

decline since the start of 2012, but materials and technology also remain firmly in negative territory.

International Equity Fund

The Penn Series International Equity Fund returned 7.68% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 3.38% return for its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index.

The Euro crisis re-ignited early in the period. Spain’s recession deepened, its sovereign debt rating fell, and Spanish bond yields popped. The need for a Spanish bank bailout intensified and market concern about the stability of the eurozone increased. Pushed ever closer to the brink, eurozone leaders moved beyond political posturing and agreed, during a late-quarter summit, that rescue funds could be used to recapitalize troubled eurozone banks. This was hailed as a first step toward a potential “banking union,” which would harmonize banking regulation and oversight across the eurozone. We think it is a positive move, which demonstrates that the eurozone can and will take action when pushed far enough. Risk in the region remains high and one or more countries may ultimately exit the European Union (EU). However, we have become greater believers in the resolve of the EU and its commitment to surviving over the longer term, both politically and functionally, no matter how painful or occasionally illogical that journey may be.

The Fund’s overweight exposure to the consumer staples sector helped relative performance during the period. Stock selection and limited exposure to the cyclical industrial sector helped performance during the period. The Fund’s underweight to the consumer discretionary sector hurt performance during the period.

Novo Nordisk, Philip Morris International, and HDFC BANK helped performance during the period and Tesco, Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Newcrest Mining detracted from performance during the period.

The Fund has had little exposure to financial companies during the past few years. During the period, our research identified some attractive opportunities, and we decided that it was a good time to dip back into the sector. We added UBS in Switzerland and HSBC in the United Kingdom to the Fund.

UBS is the second largest bank in Europe and the largest manager of private wealth assets in the world. Swiss regulatory rules are among the most stringent in the world, and UBS’s Tier 1 capital ratio stands at about 18.7%. Given that the bank is trading at a significant discount to its tangible book value, and that the ongoing businesses will continue to grow and generate significant earnings streams, we believe there is sufficient margin of error to weather what could be a bumpy ride over the medium term. HSBC has a strong core Tier 1 ratio of 10.4% under today’s more stringent post-crisis definition. The bank has

a large, liquid securities portfolio, with minimal exposure to peripheral European countries.

A cloud of uncertainty continues to hang over world markets. Economic growth has slowed in the U.S., and concern about its fiscal cliff — and the potential effect on the economy — is growing. Recent cooperation among eurozone leaders was heartening, but we expect Europe ultimately will be pushed to the brink before any type of resolution is reached. Economic weakness and lack of decisive action by leaders in developed countries have affected growth in the developing world and are likely to continue to do so. The silver lining is that uncertainty and volatility create opportunities for investors like us. We continue to focus on underlying growth drivers, profitability, and earnings potential, as we pursue our objective: outperformance over full market cycles.

Emerging Markets Equity Fund

The Penn Series Emerging Markets Equity Fund returned 5.91% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to its benchmarks the MSCI Emerging Markets Index’s return of 4.12%.

Despite the early year rally in cyclicals, we have maintained our conviction that markets are still restrained by an overarching secular bear market, as illustrated by the additional spike in cross-asset return correlations. This year has seen a continued rise in correlations across such varied asset classes as developed and emerging markets debt and equity, commodities, and currencies in both developed and emerging markets. In our view, high correlations underscore the structural problems burdening much of the developed world, including rising leverage in much of Europe and Japan even as the US has marginally chipped away at its own high debt levels. In our view, markets have been behaving consistently with their historic patterns shown in other major secular bear markets.

We do, however, see some encouraging signs that investors are beginning to pay attention to the fundamental differences between countries and companies. The unusually high correlation between equities and commodities shown in the years since the global financial crisis of 2008 has begun to show some signs of breaking down since October.

We have long positioned the Fund with the expectation that China cannot sustain either its high growth levels of the past decade or its appetite for commodities. With most developed countries struggling to recover and credit less accessible than it was in the last decade, we believe emerging markets are entering an era that will be marked by more moderate gross domestic product (GDP) growth of about 5% on average, more volatile business cycles and the gradual breakup of the herd behavior that has marked the last several years. As investors increasingly pay greater attention to the fundamentals distinguishing one country from another, country allocation decisions will be better rewarded.

We remain focused on seeking sources of healthy, secular growth in the Fund. We maintain our overweight to the countries with resilient or growing domestic demand and underpenetrated credit markets. We continue to favor countries where political reform, rising GDP per capita and productivity gains support growth and healthy company earnings. We tend to favor countries whose current account balances should benefit from an eventually declining cost of their energy import bills.

We are overweight the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, Turkey and South Korea. Our country allocations decisions give consideration to a country’s currency valuations. South Korea’s currency is relatively undervalued, having become more competitive over the past decade and thus supportive for selective exports of automobiles and electronics consumer goods. By contrast, currencies in Brazil and Russia have more than doubled in value over the past decade, gaining from the sharp rise in energy and commodities prices since 2000. This has reduced the competiveness of their exporting sectors. Our largest relative country underweights are China, Brazil and Taiwan. We are also underweight Russia and South Africa, where we are concerned about deteriorating political and macro developments.

At the bottom-up level, the Fund is overweight companies in the consumer staples and discretionary sectors in cases where the companies are growing market share and delivering stable or improving earnings and attractive return on equity. While we are underweight financials relative to the index, we nevertheless have approximately 18% of the Fund in financials — primarily banks and particularly in countries where credit penetration is low but likely to grow based on rising GDP per capita.

Real Estate Securities Fund

The Penn Series Real Estate Securities Fund returned 13.58% for the six-month period ending June 30, 2012, compared to the 14.91% return for its benchmark, the FTSE NAREIT Equity REIT Index.

U.S. real estate securities advanced in the first half of 2012 and outperformed the broader equity market. After a strong start, the pace of the rally cooled in the second quarter amid slowing economic growth with more-modest job creation. In a less-certain economic environment, investors appeared to favor REITs for their relatively stable lease-based cash flows and access to capital at historically attractive terms.

All property sectors advanced, led by owners of regional malls. The group was aided by good earnings reports from leading companies and continued sales growth from mall tenants broadly. Simon Property Group reported first-quarter earnings that grew 13% compared with the first quarter of 2011, and announced a 5% dividend increase. Simon also acquired a 29% stake in Klépierre, a French retail landlord majority-owned by BNP Paribas.

Office REITs saw stronger-than-expected demand on the West Coast and in Manhattan. SL Green Realty was a standout, announcing one of the largest lease deals in New York City history with media tenant Viacom. In the diversified sector, data-center operator Digital Realty Trust announced the purchase of three facilities near London. Similar to Simon Property Group’s venture into Europe, this was an example of a U.S. company using its low cost of capital to acquire attractively priced, higher-yielding European assets.

The typically cyclical hotel sector performed broadly in line with the typically defensive health care property sector, alternating leadership in the first and second quarters, respectively. Apartment REITs underperformed, as improving sentiment in the single-family housing market prompted concerns of slower cash flow growth in the rental market.

The Fund had a positive total return for the period, but underperformed its benchmark. Stock selection in the hotel sector detracted from relative performance. Our holdings included out-of-index companies with operations in Europe that underperformed in the period. We believe they have good fundamentals, although revenue growth in dollar terms has been hindered recently by weakness in the euro. In the industrial sector we were overweight Prologis, which had a sizable absolute gain but trailed smaller industrial property stocks that had larger rebounds. Our underweight in the health care sector also detracted from relative returns.

Factors that aided relative performance included stock selection among shopping center companies and our

overweight in regional malls, specifically Simon Property Group. Stock selection in the apartment sector modestly benefited relative returns.

Recent disappointments in employment reports notwithstanding, we continue to expect slow but steady growth, with modest job creation. Such an environment should allow for incremental gains in demand for real estate companies and continued low financing costs as interest rates remain low. Fundamentals in most sectors should also be supported by only gradual additions to supply, to the potential benefit of property-level cash flow growth.

Recent property transactions have largely confirmed our value estimates, but we continue to carefully evaluate our inputs. We have a modest cyclical lean (overweight in hotel and industrial companies), but with a defensive component in the Fund. We have a generally favorable view of key office markets, including life sciences, technology and media, as well as New York offices broadly. We are marginally underweight apartments based on valuations and improved statistics for single-family homes, although we are monitoring the group for buying opportunities based on its relative underperformance versus other property sectors. We continue to favor prime retail owners, while staying cautious toward health care properties, suburban offices and secondary retail.

Important Information about Fund Expenses

Hypothetical Examples of a $1,000 Investment (Unaudited)

 

We believe that it is important for you to understand the effect of fees on your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a participant in any of the Penn Series Funds, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the fund. A fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio.

The Penn Series Funds are the underlying investment vehicles for the variable life and variable annuity contracts issued by The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company and its subsidiary, The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company. These contracts have transaction costs, additional administrative expense fees and mortality and expense risk charges. Because of these additional expenses, the costs to investors will be higher than the figures shown in the following expense examples. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested for six months beginning January 1, 2012 and held through June 30, 2012. The examples illustrate your fund’s costs in two ways:

 

   

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

 

   

Hypothetical 5% Annual Return is intended to help you compare your fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the fund had a return of 5% before expenses during the period shown, but that the expense ratio is unchanged. In this case — because the return used is not the fund’s actual return — the results do not apply to your investment. The example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on a 5% return. You can assess your fund’s cost by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholders reports of other funds. Because the return used is not an actual return, it may not be used to estimate the actual ending account value or expenses you paid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are only meant to highlight and help you compare your ongoing costs of investing in the funds and do not reflect any fees and charges deducted under your insurance contract. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the six-month period indicated.

Loan Agreements in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically predetermined by reference to a base
  lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at June 30, 2012. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate Loan Agreements often require repayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.
* Non-income producing security.
@ Security sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, restricted and/or exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold only to dealers in the program or other “accredited investors”. Unless otherwise indicated, the security is considered liquid.
^ Illiquid security. The total market value of illiquid securities at June 30, 2012 is $843,824.
Variable Rate Security.
¤ Defaulted Security.
+ Effective Yield. For those bonds that become coupon paying at a future date, the interest rate disclosed represents that annualized effective yield from the date of acquisition to maturity.

CONV — Convertible Security.

LLC — Limited Liability Company.

LP — Limited Partnership.

PIK — Payment in Kind Security.

Plc — Public Limited Company.

STEP — Step Coupon Bond.

See Security Valuation Note.
* Non-income producing security.
@ Security sold within the terms of a private placement memorandum, restricted and/or exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may be sold only to dealers in the program or other “accredited investors”. Unless otherwise indicated, the security is considered liquid.
Variable Rate Security.
^ Illiquid security. The total market value of illiquid securities at June 30, 2012 is $10,191,050.
Loan Agreements in which the Fund invests generally pay interest at rates which are periodically predetermined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks, (ii) the
  lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Rate shown represents the actual rate at June 30, 2012. Loan Agreements, while exempt from registration under the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate Loan Agreements often require repayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

CONV — Convertible Security.

LLC — Limited Liability Company.

LP — Limited Partnership.

PIK — Payment in Kind Security.

Plc — Public Limited Company.

Following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value:

 

     

Investments in Securities

(Market Value)

 

Balance as of 12/31/2011

   $ 1,905,082   

Transfers Out of Level 3

     (1,464,536

Purchases

     134,048   

Change in Appreciation/(Depreciation)

     10,798   
  

 

 

 

Balance as of 6/30/2012

   $ 585,392   
  

 

 

 

It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers in and transfers out at the fair value as of the beginning of period. The Fund had transfers of $1,464,536 from level 3 to level 2 fair value hierarchies during the reporting period. On May 18, 2012, Facebook, Inc. began publicly trading, therefore obtaining a significant observable input for the valuation of Facebook, Inc. Class A and Class B shares.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.

1     The average shares outstanding method has been applied for per share information.

2     Total investment return is based on the change in net asset value of a share during the period and assumes reinvestment of dividends and distributions at net asset value. Total returns do not reflect expenses associated with variable contracts such as administrative fees, account charges and surrender charges, which if reflected would reduce the total returns for all periods presented.

3     The Fund’s total return calculation includes a payment by an affiliate. Excluding the effect of this payment from the Fund’s ending net asset value per share, total return for the year ended December 31, 2008 would have been 2.39%.

Penn Series Funds, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements — June 30, 2012 (Unaudited)

 

 

1 — ORGANIZATION

Penn Series Funds, Inc. (“Penn Series”) was incorporated in Maryland on April 22, 1982. Penn Series is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end, diversified management investment company. Penn Series is open only to purchasers of The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Penn Mutual”) and The Penn Insurance and Annuity Company insurance contracts and certain of Penn Mutual’s employee benefit plans.

Penn Series is presently offering shares in its Money Market, Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Balanced, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Large Core Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Core Value, Index 500, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Mid Core Value, SMID Cap Growth, SMID Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Index, Developed International Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, Real Estate Securities, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Penn Series also has the authority to issue shares in three additional funds, each of which would have their own investment objective and policies.

Fund of Funds (“FOF”) — Each Penn Series FOF seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other Penn Series Funds (“Underlying Funds”) and uses asset allocation strategies to determine how much to invest in the Underlying Funds. The Penn Series FOF are the following Funds: Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds.

2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are followed by Penn Series in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be material.

SECURITY VALUATION:

Money Market Fund Investments in securities are valued using the amortized cost method as permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which involves initially valuing investments at cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any premium or discount. This method approximates market value.

Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Growth, Large Core Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Core Value, Index 500, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Mid Core Value, SMID Cap Growth, SMID Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Index, Developed International Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, Real Estate Securities Funds — Portfolio securities listed on a securities exchange or an automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available, including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the principal exchange or market on which they are traded on the valuation date or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price. Debt and fixed income securities may be valued by recognized independent third-party valuation services, employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other electronic data processing techniques. To the extent that bid prices are provided by the pricing service, the Funds will use the bid price. 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 quotations are not readily available are valued by methods deemed by the Board of Directors to represent fair value. The Penn Series Valuation Committee (the “Valuation Committee”) , established by and subject to oversight by the Board of Directors, develops pricing related policies and procedures and approves all fair value determinations. The Valuation Committee consists of representatives from the Advisor and Administrator. The Valuation Committee regularly makes good faith judgments, using sources and information obtained, including recommendations and supporting rationales and inputs from the Advisor or the applicable sub advisor, to establish and /or adjust fair valuations of securities as events occur and circumstances warrant. The information and inputs may include but are not limited to cost of the security, last sale price, private transaction trading prices, comparable publically traded security prices, illiquidity

premiums, publically disclosed news stories and regulatory filings, estimated cash flows and yield curves. As part of its procedures, the Valuation Committee monitors the fair valued securities, considers additional news or significant developments relative to the specific security, reviews the valuations with the Advisor or respective sub advisor on a regular basis and applies back testing procedures to valuations as applicable. Reasons for which securities may be valued in this manner include, but are not limited to, trading on an exchange for a security has been halted or suspended, a security has been de-listed from a national exchange, trading on a security’s primary market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open or valuation by a third party pricing service is currently not available or is no longer available. Options are valued at the last traded price on the market where such options are principally traded or, if there was no trade on such day, at the last bid quote. Futures Contracts are valued at the last settlement price on the market where such futures contracts are principally traded.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of third party pricing service security valuations, the Advisor or sub advisor, as applicable, or the fund accounting service provider, who is subject to oversight by the Administrator, regularly monitor the prices and compare prices to alternate sources where applicable. Pricing challenges are issued for valuation differences exceeding certain tolerances or when considered not reflective of market by the Advisor or sub advisor, as applicable.

Certain events may occur between the time that foreign markets close, on which securities held by the Funds principally trade, and the time at which the Fund’s NAV is calculated. These securities are valued at a fair value utilizing an independent third-party valuation service in accordance with procedures adopted by the Fund’s Board of Directors. The methodology and procedures followed by the valuation service consider the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as ADRs, financial futures, ETFs, and certain indexes as well as prices for similar securities. Values from the valuation service are applied in the event that there is a movement in the U.S. market that exceeds a specific threshold that has been established by the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee has also established a “confidence interval,” which is used to determine the level of historical correlation between the value of a specific foreign security and movements in the U.S. market before a particular security will be fair valued when the threshold is exceeded. In the event that the threshold established by the Valuation Committee is exceeded on a specific day, the Funds shall value the non-U.S. securities in their portfolios that exceed the applicable “confidence interval” based upon the adjusted prices provided by the fair valuation service.

The determination of a security’s fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors, and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security’s value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.

Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation and Conservative Allocation Funds The valuation of each Fund’s investment in its Underlying Funds is based on the net asset values of the Underlying Funds each business day.

Fair value measurements are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. These inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

   

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Transfers between levels 1 and 2 during the six month ended June 30, 2012, if any, are shown as notes on the Schedule of Investments of the individual fund.

Level 3 items at June 30, 2012 consist of $462,240 of equities which were not publically trading. The unobservable inputs used in valuing these securities include prices observed in private transactions by institutional investors involving institutional-sized trades, financial information including the price/sales multiple of publically traded securities determined to be comparable and illiquidity premiums used to discount the value. The valuation technique employed consists of discounting a value in the observed range of either (a) private party transaction prices for an acquisition or dispositions of the stock (or of a comparable class of the stock) or (b) performing an analysis based upon financial information including reference to the price/sales multiple of a comparable publically traded security, as applicable. The range of observed private party transactions for the valued securities subject to these inputs for fair valuation was $14.00-$17.50. The illiquidity premium utilized was 10% and was judgmentally established based on trading price ranges and /or particular terms of the security. Significant increases (decreases) in the prices of observed private party transactions or in financial information including the price/sales multiple would result in directionally similar and proportionate changes to the fair value. Also, changes to the illiquidity premium would cause directionally opposite and proportionate changes in the fair value.

New Accounting Pronouncement In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11, “Balance Sheet — Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. This standard requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2011-11 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements has not been determined.

Foreign Currency Translation The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis: market value of investment securities, assets and liabilities at the current rate of exchange; purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

The Funds do not isolate the portion of realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with those of U.S. dollar denominated transactions as a result of, among other factors, the level of governmental supervision and regulation of foreign securities markets and the possibility of political or economic instability.

Bank Loans Certain Fund invests in U.S. dollar-denominated fixed- and floating-rate loans (“Loans”) arranged through private negotiations between a foreign sovereign entity and one or more financial institutions (“Lenders”). The Funds invest in such Loans in the form of participations in Loans (“Participations”) or assignments of all or a portion of Loans from third parties (“Assignments”). Participations typically result in the Funds having contractual relationships only with the Lender, not with the sovereign borrower. The Funds have the right to receive payments of principal, interest and any fees to which they are entitled from the Lender selling the Participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments from the borrower. In connection with purchasing Participations, the Funds generally have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the Loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Funds will not benefit directly from any collateral supporting the Loan in which they have purchased the Participation. As a result, the Funds assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the Lender that is selling the Participation.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS, INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums are accreted and amortized using the effective interest method. The cost of investment securities sold is determined by using the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are directly charged. Common expenses of the Funds are allocated using methods approved by the Board of Directors, generally based on average net assets. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds of the FOFs.

DIVIDENDS TO SHAREHOLDERS: Except for the Money Market Fund, all or a portion of each Fund’s undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and foreign exchange transactions, if any, at December 31, 2011 were deemed distributed as consent dividends to each respective Fund’s shareholders in place of regular distributions. As consent dividends, shareholders of each Fund agree to treat their share of undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investment and foreign exchange transactions, if any, at December 31, 2011, respectively, as dividend income and net capital gains for tax purposes. In the case of the Money Market Fund, dividends paid from undistributed net investment income and accumulated net realized gain on investments are declared daily and paid monthly.

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains recorded in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. To the extent that these differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary differences do not require such reclassification. Distributions from net realized gains may involve short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes.

The character of distributions received from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) held by a Fund is generally comprised of net investment income, capital gains, and return of capital. It is the policy of the Funds to estimate the character of distributions received from the underlying REITs based on historical data provided by the REITs. As of year-end, differences between the estimated and actual amounts are reflected in a Fund’s records.

* For FoFs, with the exception of the Balanced Fund, the operating expense limit applies only at the Fund level and does not limit the fees indirectly incurred by the FOFs through their investments in the Underlying Funds.

Effective September 10, 2009, Penn Series, on behalf of its Money Market Fund, ICMI, and Penn Mutual, entered into an agreement whereby ICMI and Penn Mutual may temporarily and voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse expenses in excess of their current fee waiver and expense reimbursement commitments in an effort to maintain a minimum net distribution yield for the Money Market Fund. Under the agreement, ICMI and Penn Mutual may, subject to certain minimum yield criteria, as well as a prospective three year reimbursement period, recapture from the Money Market Fund any fees or expenses waived and/or reimbursed under this arrangement. These reimbursement payments by the Fund to ICMI and/or Penn Mutual are considered “extraordinary expenses” and are not subject to any net operating expense limitations in effect at the time of such payment. This recapture could negatively affect the Fund’s future yield.

Penn Mutual currently intends to voluntarily waive its administrative and corporate services fees and reimburse expenses so that the Index 500 Fund’s total expenses do not exceed 0.35%. Penn Mutual may change or eliminate all or part of this voluntary waiver at any time. In addition, effective September 1, 2010, Penn Mutual and ICMI currently intend to voluntarily waive a portion of their fees and/or reimburse expenses so that the Emerging Markets Equity Fund’s total expenses do not exceed 1.68%.

If, at the end of each month, there is no liability of ICMI and Penn Mutual to pay the Funds such excess amount, and if payments of the advisory fee or administrative and corporate services fee at the end of prior months during the fiscal year have been reduced in excess of that required to maintain expenses within the expense limitation, such excess reduction shall be recaptured by ICMI and Penn Mutual and shall be payable by the Funds to ICMI and Penn Mutual along with the advisory fee or administrative and corporate services fee for that month.

Penn Mutual and ICMI may recover any administrative fees or advisory fees that were waived in the preceding three fiscal years as long as it would not cause the Fund to exceed its expense limitation.

6 — FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax purposes. As such, each Fund is required to distribute all investment company taxable income and net capital gains, if any, to its shareholders in order to avoid the imposition of entity-level federal, state, and local income taxes as well as an entity-level excise tax. Except for the Money Market Fund, to the extent any Fund had undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gains at December 31, 2011, such undistributed investment company taxable income and net capital gains were deemed distributed as consent dividends in place of regular distributions. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal, state, or local income and excise taxes.

On December 22, 2010, The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was signed into law. The Act amended several tax rules impacting the Funds. Some highlights of the enacted provisions are as follows:

The Act allows for capital losses occurring in the taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 (“post-enactment losses”) to be carried forward indefinitely. However, the Act requires any future gains to be first offset by post-enactment losses before using capital losses incurred in the taxable years beginning prior to the effective date of the Act (‘pre-enactment losses”). As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment loss carryforwards have an increased likelihood to expire unused. Furthermore, post-enactment losses will retain their character as either long-term capital losses or short-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term capital losses as under previous law.

The Act provides that a Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late-year loss for such taxable year as arising on the first day of the following taxable year. The term “qualified late-year loss” means any post-October capital loss and any late-year ordinary loss.

The Act also contains simplification provisions, which are aimed at preventing disqualification of a RIC for “inadvertent” failures of the asset diversification and/or qualifying income tests.

Reclassification of Capital Accounts:

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with U.S. federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or accumulated net realized gain or net investment income, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise. Accordingly, the following permanent differences as of December 31, 2011, primarily attributable to consent dividends, interest accruals on the disposition of securities in default, income recognized from pass-through entities, the disallowance of net operating losses, the expiration of capital loss carryforwards, the tax treatment of Passive Foreign Investment Companies, the redesignation of dividend

The differences between book basis and tax basis appreciation are primarily due to wash sales, Passive Foreign Investment Companies, Partnership Investments, Trust Preferred Securities, real estate investment trust adjustments, and the treatment of certain corporate actions.

Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of December 31, 2011, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state department of revenue.

7 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Funds may trade derivative financial instruments in the normal course of investing activities to assist in managing exposure to market risks such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These financial instruments include written options, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and futures contracts.

The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment the Funds have in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.

Futures Contracts — A futures contract is a standardized contract between two parties to buy or sell a specified asset at a specified future date at a price agreed today (the future price). The party agreeing to buy the underlying asset in the future assumes a long position. The price is determined by the instantaneous equilibrium between the forces of supply and demand among competing buy and sell orders on the exchange at the time of the purchase or sale of the contract.

To the extent permitted by the investment objective, restrictions and policies set forth in the Funds’ Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, the Funds may participate in various derivative-based transactions. The Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds employ futures to maintain market exposure and otherwise assist in attempting to replicate the performance of their respective indices. These derivatives offer unique characteristics and risks that assist the Funds in meeting their investment objectives. The Funds typically use derivatives in two ways: cash equitization and return enhancement. Cash equitization is a technique that may be used by the Funds through the use of futures contracts to earn “market-like” returns with the Funds’ excess and liquidity reserve cash balances and receivables. Return enhancement can be accomplished through the use of derivatives in the Funds. By purchasing these instruments, the Funds may more effectively achieve the desired fund characteristics that assist in meeting the Fund’s investment objectives.

Futures contracts involve a number of risks, such as possible default by the counterparty to the transaction, market movement and the potential of greater loss than if these techniques had not been used by a Fund. These investments can also increase the Fund’s share price and expose the Fund to significant additional costs.

The Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds have entered into futures contracts during the six months ended June 30, 2012. Open futures contracts held by the Index 500, Developed International Index and Small Cap Index Funds at June 30, 2012 were as follows:

Options — An option establishes a contract between two parties concerning the buying or selling of an asset at a reference price. The buyer of the option gains the right, but not the obligation, to engage in some specific transaction on the asset, while the seller incurs the obligation to fulfill the transaction if so requested by the buyer. The price of an option derives from the difference between the reference price and the value of the underlying asset plus a premium based on the time remaining until the expiration of the option. The Funds may buy and sell options, or write options.

Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operation.

The Flexibly Managed and Large Cap Value Funds have purchased options to decrease exposure to equity risk. The risk associated with purchased options is limited to premium paid. The Funds also received premiums for options written. The risk in writing a call option is that the Funds give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Funds may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Funds are unable to close the contract.

Transactions in options written during the six months ended June 30, 2012 for the Flexibly Managed Fund were as follows:

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts — A forward currency contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are traded directly between currency traders and their customers. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by each Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the contract is closed or offset with the same counterparty, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the change in the value of the contract when it was opened and the value at the time it was closed or offset.

The High Yield Bond Fund entered into forward currency contracts in conjunction with the planned purchase or sale of foreign denominated securities in order to hedge the U.S. dollar cost or proceeds. The Funds hedge currencies in times of base currency weakness in order to reduce the volatility of returns for the local securities which the fund owns.

Foreign forward currency contracts involve a number of risks, including the possibility of default by the counterparty to the transaction and, to the extent the portfolio manager’s judgment as to certain market movements is incorrect, the risk of losses that are greater than if the investment technique had not been used. For example, there may be an imperfect correlation between the Fund’s portfolio holdings of securities denominated in a particular currency and the forward contracts entered into by the Fund. An imperfect correlation of this type may prevent the Fund from achieving the intended hedge or expose the Fund to the risk of currency exchange loss. These investment techniques also tend to limit any potential gain that might result from an increase in the value of the hedged position. These investments can also increase the volatility of the Fund’s share price and expose the Fund to significant additional costs.

8 — CREDIT AND MARKET RISK

The Funds may invest a portion of their assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the Funds’ ability to dispose of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or preferable to do so.

The high yield securities in which the High Yield Bond Fund may invest are predominantly speculative as to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. The value of the lower quality securities in which the High Yield Bond Fund may invest will be affected by the credit worthiness of individual issuers, general economic and specific industry conditions, and will fluctuate inversely with changes in interest rates. In addition, the secondary trading market for lower quality bonds may be less active and less liquid than the trading market for higher quality bonds.

The Developed International Index, International Equity and the Emerging Markets Equity Funds invest in securities of foreign issuers in various countries. These investments may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in the United States, as a result of, among other factors, the possibility of future political and economic developments and the level of governmental supervision and regulation of securities markets in the respective countries.

9 — CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

In the general course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnification. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds and/or its affiliates that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, management of the Funds expects the risk of loss to be remote.

10 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no additional subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements

The Penn Series Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) and Independence Capital Management, Inc. (“ICMI”) have entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, ICMI (i) provides day-to-day investment management services to the Money Market, Limited Maturity Bond, Quality Bond, Balanced, Aggressive Allocation, Moderately Aggressive Allocation, Moderate Allocation, Moderately Conservative Allocation, and Conservative Allocation Funds (collectively, the “Directly Managed Funds”) and (ii) is responsible for selection and oversight of various investment sub-advisers who perform day-to-day investment management services for the High Yield Bond, Flexibly Managed, Large Growth Stock, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Index 500, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Mid Core Value, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, International Equity, Real Estate Securities, Large Core Growth, Large Core Value, SMID Cap Growth, SMID Cap Value, Emerging Markets Equity, Small Cap Index and Developed International Index Funds (collectively, the “Sub-Advised Funds” and, together with the Directly Managed Funds, the “Penn Series Funds”).

ICMI acts as “manager of managers” for the Sub-Advised Funds. In this capacity, ICMI has entered into and the Company’s Board of Directors has approved separate sub-advisory agreements (the “Sub-Advisory Agreements” and, together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Investment Advisory Agreements”) with the sub-advisers (identified below). The sub-advisers provide their services to the Sub-Advised Funds under the supervision of ICMI and the Company’s Board of Directors. Sub-advisers are selected based primarily upon the research and recommendations of ICMI, which evaluates quantitatively and qualitatively each sub-adviser’s skills and investment results in managing assets for specific asset classes, investment styles and strategies, as well as the sub-adviser’s regulatory compliance policies and procedures. ICMI oversees the sub-advisers to ensure compliance with the Sub-Advised Funds’ investment policies and guidelines, and monitors each sub-adviser’s adherence to its investment style.

The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), requires that the initial approval of, as well as the continuation of, each Penn Series Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement(s) be specifically approved by: (i) the vote of the Board or by a vote of the shareholders of the Fund; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the directors who are not parties to the Investment Advisory Agreement(s) or “interested persons” (as defined under the 1940 Act) of any party to the Investment Advisory Agreement(s) (the “Independent Directors”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. In connection with its consideration of such approvals, the Board must request and evaluate, and ICMI and the sub-advisers are required to furnish, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreements. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission takes the position that, as part of their fiduciary duties with respect to a mutual fund’s fees, mutual fund boards are required to evaluate the material factors applicable to a decision to approve an Investment Advisory Agreement.

Consistent with these responsibilities, the Company’s Board called and held a meeting on May 17, 2012 to consider whether to renew the Advisory Agreement between the Company and ICMI with respect to the Penn Series Funds. In preparation for this meeting, the Board provided ICMI with a written request for information and received and reviewed, in advance of the May 17, 2012 meeting, extensive written materials in response to that request, including information as to the performance of the Penn Series Funds versus benchmarks and peer universes, the level of the investment advisory fees charged to the Penn Series Funds, comparisons of such fees with the investment advisory fees incurred by comparable funds, including, in particular, funds acting as underlying investments for insurance products, the costs to ICMI of providing such services, including a profitability analysis, ICMI’s compliance program, and various other matters. In addition, at the May 17, 2012 meeting, the Board considered whether to renew the Sub-Advisory Agreements between ICMI and the investment sub-advisers listed in the table below (each, a “Sub-Adviser” and, collectively, the “Sub-Advisers”) on behalf of the respective Sub-Advised Funds.

In response to the Board’s written request for information, each of the Sub-Advisers submitted, in advance of the May 17, 2012 meeting, extensive written materials for consideration by the Board and the Independent Directors. The information provided by ICMI and the Sub-Advisers in connection with the Board meeting was in addition to the detailed information about the Penn Series Funds that the Board reviews during the course of each year, including information that relates to the funds’ operations and the funds’ performance and the services of ICMI and the Sub-Advisers. In connection with the meeting, the Board also received a memorandum from legal counsel regarding the responsibilities of the Board in connection with its consideration of whether to approve the Investment Advisory Agreements. In addition, the Independent Directors met in executive session outside the presence of Company management to discuss the information submitted to the Board in connection with the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements. The Independent Directors also met in executive session with senior representatives of ICMI to discuss the written materials provided by ICMI.

The written materials provided by ICMI and the Sub-Advisers addressed, among other matters, the following: (a) the quality of ICMI’s and the Sub-Advisers’ investment management and other services and, with respect to ICMI, its services as a “manager of managers” of the Sub-Advised Funds; (b) ICMI’s and the Sub-Advisers’ investment management personnel; (c) ICMI’s and the Sub-Advisers’ operations and financial condition; (d) ICMI’s and the Sub-Advisers’ brokerage practices (including best execution policies, evaluating execution quality, average commission rates on fund trades, soft dollar arrangements and affiliated and directed brokerage arrangements) and investment strategies; (e) the level of the advisory fees that ICMI and each Sub-Adviser charges a Fund, including breakpoints, compared with the fees each charges to comparable mutual funds and other types of accounts it manages, if any; (f) the level of ICMI’s and each Sub-Adviser’s cost of services provided and estimated profitability from its fund-related operations; (g) ICMI’s and the Sub-Advisers’ compliance program and, if applicable, a description of the material changes made to, and material compliance violations of, the compliance program; (h) ICMI’s and Sub-Advisers’ reputation, expertise and resources in domestic and/or international financial markets; and (i) each Penn Series Fund’s performance compared with similar mutual funds, other types of accounts and benchmark indices.

At the meeting, representatives from ICMI commented on the information delivered to the Board and answered questions from Board members to help the Board evaluate ICMI’s and the Sub-Advisers’ fees and other aspects of the Investment Advisory Agreements. The Directors discussed the written materials that the Board received before the meeting, and deliberated on the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements in light of this information.

At the May 17, 2012 meeting of the Board, the Directors, including the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the Investment Advisory Agreements and approved the selection of ICMI and the Sub-Advisers to act in their respective capacities for the Funds. The Board’s approval was based on its consideration and evaluation of a variety of specific factors discussed at the meeting and at prior meetings during the year, including:

 

   

the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Penn Series Funds under the Investment Advisory Agreements, including the resources of ICMI and the Sub-Advisers dedicated to the Penn Series Funds;

 

202


Table of Contents

 

Penn Series Funds, Inc.

each Penn Series Fund’s investment performance and how it compared to that of other comparable mutual funds and appropriate benchmarks/indices;

 

   

the fees charged to each Penn Series Fund under each Investment Advisory Agreement and how those fees compared to those of other comparable mutual funds and other types of accounts;

 

   

the cost of services provided by and the profitability of ICMI and the Sub-Advisers with respect to each Penn Series Fund, including both direct and indirect benefits accruing to ICMI and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, if any; and

 

   

the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Penn Series Funds grow and whether fee levels in the Investment Advisory Agreements reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of fund investors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board of Directors considered the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by ICMI and the Sub-Advisers to the Penn Series Funds and the resources of ICMI and the Sub-Advisers dedicated to the Funds. In this regard, the Directors evaluated, among other things, ICMI’s and the Sub-Advisers’ business, personnel, experience, investment decision process, track record, brokerage practices, any conflicts of interest and compliance program. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the nature, extent and quality of services provided by ICMI and the Sub-Advisers to the Penn Series Funds and the resources of ICMI and the Sub-Advisers dedicated to the Penn Series Funds supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Fund Performance. The Board of Directors considered fund performance in determining whether to renew the Investment Advisory Agreements. Specifically, the Directors considered each Penn Series Fund’s recent and long-term performance relative to its peer group and appropriate indices/benchmarks, in light of total return, yield and economic and market trends. In evaluating performance, the Directors considered both market risk and shareholder risk expectations for a given Penn Series Fund. The Board of Directors also considered its discussions with ICMI regarding the underperformance of those Sub-Advisers on ICMI’s “watchlist”. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the performance of the Penn Series Funds (both actual performance and comparable performance) supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Advisory Fees. The Directors considered the level of each Penn Series Fund’s investment advisory fees in light of the services provided and in comparison to those of other comparable mutual funds, including, in particular, mutual funds acting as underlying investments for insurance products, and other types of accounts. The Directors also considered ICMI’s and certain Sub-Adviser’s agreements to waive management and other fees to prevent total fund expenses from exceeding a specified cap and that ICMI and the Sub-Advisers, through waivers, have maintained the Penn Series Funds’ net operating expenses at competitive levels for their distribution channel. Following evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the fees charged to the Penn Series Funds are reasonable and supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Profitability. With regard to profitability, the Directors considered all compensation flowing, directly or indirectly, to ICMI and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, if any, from their relationship with the Penn Series Funds, including any benefits derived or to be derived by ICMI and the Sub-Advisers, such as soft dollar arrangements, as well as the cost of services provided to the Penn Series Funds. The Directors considered whether the varied levels of compensation and profitability under the Investment Advisory Agreements were reasonable and justified in light of the quality of all services rendered to the Penn Series Funds by ICMI and the Sub-Advisers and their affiliates, if any. When considering the profitability of the Sub-Advisers with respect to the sub-advisory services they provide to the Penn Series Funds, the Board took into account the fact that the Sub-Advisers are compensated by ICMI, and not by the Penn Series Funds directly, and such compensation with respect to any Sub-Adviser reflects an arms-length negotiation between the Sub-Adviser and ICMI. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the profitability of ICMI and the Sub-Advisers is reasonable in relation to the quality of their respective services and supported renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Directors considered the existence of any economies of scale and whether those were passed along to a Penn Series Fund’s shareholders through a graduated investment advisory fee schedule (such as breakpoints) or other means, including any fee waivers by ICMI and its affiliates or the Sub-Advisers. Based on this evaluation, the Board concluded

that, within the context of its full deliberations, the Penn Series Funds and their shareholders obtain a reasonable benefit from any economies of scale being realized by ICMI and the Sub-Advisers.

Based on the Directors’ deliberation and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Advisory Agreements and concluded that the compensation under the Investment Advisory Agreements is fair and reasonable in light of such services and such other matters as the Directors considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment. In the course of their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling.
