SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE   1

 

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you to understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. It is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2008. The performance information presented does not include the charges and expenses imposed by the insurance company under the variable insurance product contract. Please refer to the variable insurance product prospectus for a complete listing of these expenses.

Actual Expenses

The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you incurred over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses attributable to your investment during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and assumed rates of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ actual returns. Thus, you should not use the hypothetical account values and expenses to estimate the actual ending account balance or your expenses for the period. Rather, these figures are required to be provided to enable you to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

MTB Large Cap Growth Fund II (concluded)

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the portfolio's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

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 portfolio's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of June 30, 2008 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

 

Valuation inputs   Investments
in Securities
  Other Financial
Instruments3
Level 1 – Quoted Prices   $ 5,344,823   $             —
Level 2 – Other Significant Observable Inputs        
Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs        
           
Total   $ 5,344,823   $
           

 

(3) Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, forwards and swap contracts, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

As of June 30, 2008, the Fund did not use any significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) in determining the valuation of investments.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   23

 

MTB Group of Funds June 30, 2008

 

1.   ORGANIZATION

MTB Group of Funds (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Trust consists of 36 portfolios, 5 of which are presented herein (individually referred

to as the “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”). The Funds in this report are made available exclusively for the purpose of providing a vehicle for the investment of assets of various insurance company separate accounts established to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. The following diversified Funds are presented herein:


Portfolio Name    Investment Objective
MTB Large Cap Growth Fund II (“Large Cap Growth Fund II”)    To provide capital appreciation.
MTB Large Cap Value Fund II (“Large Cap Value Fund II”)    To provide capital appreciation. Current income is a secondary, non-fundamental consideration.
MTB Managed Allocation Fund – Conservative Growth II
(“Conservative Growth Fund II”)*
   To seek capital appreciation and income.
MTB Managed Allocation Fund – Moderate Growth II
(“Moderate Growth Fund II”)*
   To seek capital appreciation and secondarily, income.
MTB Managed Allocation Fund – Aggressive Growth II
(“Aggressive Growth Fund II”)*
   To seek capital appreciation.

 

  * Each of these Funds is a “fund of funds,” which means that it seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing exclusively in other MTB Funds (“underlying Funds”) managed by MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. rather than investing directly in securities. These Funds indirectly pay a portion of the expenses incurred by the underlying Funds. Consequently, an investment in these Funds entails more direct and indirect expenses than direct investment in the underlying Funds.

The financial statements of the other portfolios are presented separately. The assets of each portfolio are segregated and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the portfolio in which shares are held. Each portfolio pays its own expenses.

 

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States of America.

Investment Valuation – Market values of the Fund’s portfolio securities are determined as follows:

 

   

for equity securities, according to the last sale price or official closing price reported in the market in which they are primarily traded (either a national securities exchange or the over-the-counter market), if available;

 

   

in the absence of recorded sales for equity securities, according to the mean between the last closing bid and asked prices;

 

   

for investments in other open-ended regulated investment companies, based on net asset value (NAV);

 

   

futures contracts and options are generally valued at market values established by the exchanges on which they are traded at the close of trading on such exchanges. Options traded in the over-the-counter market are generally valued according to the mean between the last bid and the last asked price for the option as provided by an investment dealer or other financial institution that deals in the option. The Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) may determine in good faith that another method of valuing such investments is necessary to appraise their fair market value;

 

   

for fixed-income securities, according to prices as furnished by an independent pricing service, except that fixed-income securities with remaining maturities of less than 60 days at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost; and

 

   

for all other securities at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Trustees.

Prices for fixed-income securities furnished by a pricing service may be based on a valuation matrix which incorporates both dealer-supplied valuations and electronic data processing techniques. Such prices are generally intended to be indicative of the mean prices currently offered to institutional investors for the securities. The Trustees have approved the use of such pricing services. A number of pricing services are available, and the Fund may use various pricing services or discontinue the use of any pricing service.

Prices provided by independent pricing services may be determined without relying exclusively on quoted prices and may consider institutional trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, stability, risk, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics, and other market data or factors. From time to time, when prices cannot be obtained from an independent pricing service, securities may be valued based on quotes from broker-dealers or other financial institutions that trade the securities.

Trading in foreign securities may be completed at times which vary from the closing of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). In computing its NAV, the Fund values foreign securities using the latest closing price on the exchange on which they are traded immediately prior to the closing of the NYSE. Certain foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined at the latest rate prior to the closing of the NYSE. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Events that affect these values and exchange rates may occur between the

MTB Group of Funds — SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT  /  June 30, 2008 (unaudited)


24   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

times at which they are determined and the closing of the NYSE. If such events materially affect the value of portfolio securities, these securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Trustees, although the actual calculation may be done by others. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value.

Investment Income, Expenses and Distributions – Expenses of the Trust, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund. Expenses which are not identifiable to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expenses and the relative net assets of each Fund. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date or when the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income are declared and paid quarterly for Large Cap Value Fund II and Conservative Growth Fund II and are declared and paid annually for Large Cap Growth Fund II, Moderate Growth Fund II and Aggressive Growth Fund II. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at fair value. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily.

Federal Taxes – It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the Subchapter M provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of their income. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income tax are necessary.

Withholding taxes and where appropriate, deferred withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty

in Income Taxes” (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority.

Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. Management has reviewed the tax positions for the open tax year as of December 31, 2007, and have determined that there is no impact resulting from the adoption of this interpretation on the Funds’ financial statements.

The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. Federal tax authorities for tax years before 2003 and by state tax authorities for tax years before 2002.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions – The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues reported in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimated.

Other – Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from investments are recorded on an identified cost basis.

4.   FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due in part to differing treatment for short-term capital gains received from underlying Funds.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, permanent differences identified and reclassified among the components of net assets were as follows:

 

     Increase (Decrease)  
Fund Name    Paid-In Capital     

Undistributed

Net Investment

Income

  

Accumulated

Net Realized

Gains

 
Large Cap Growth Fund II    $ (280 )    $ 297    $ (17 )
Large Cap Value II             81      (81 )
Conservative Growth Fund II             6,567      (6,567 )
Moderate Growth Fund II             407,916      (407,916 )
Aggressive Growth Fund II             16,881      (16,881 )

Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net assets were not affected by this reclassification.

The tax character of distributions as reported on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

 

          2007    2006

Large Cap Growth Fund II and Large Cap Value Fund II deferred post-October losses in the amount of $2,375 and $148,331, respectively, during 2007.

5.   INVESTMENT ADVISOR FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Investment Advisory Fee – MTB Investment Advisors, Inc. is the Funds’ investment advisor (the “Advisor”). The advisory agreement between the Trust and Advisor provides for an annual fee based on a percentage of each Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the following table:

 

Fund Name    Annual Rate  
Large Cap Growth Fund II    0.85 %
Large Cap Value Fund II    0.70 %
Conservative Growth Fund II    0.25 %
Moderate Growth Fund II    0.25 %
Aggressive Growth Fund II    0.25 %

The Advisor may voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee or reimburse the Funds for certain operating expenses. The Advisor may terminate this voluntary waiver or reimbursement at any time at its sole discretion.

The Advisor agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its investment advisory fee (based on average daily net assets) to which it is otherwise entitled to receive and/or to reimburse certain operating expenses of the Funds in order to limit each Fund’s total direct operating expenses to not more than the stated amount shown below of the Fund’s average daily net assets through April 30, 2009.

 

Fund Name    Annual Rate  
Large Cap Growth Fund II    1.00 %
Large Cap Value Fund II    1.00 %
Conservative Growth Fund II    0.74 %
Moderate Growth Fund II    0.74 %
Aggressive Growth Fund II    0.74 %

 

NWQ Investment Management Company LLC (NWQ) is the sub-advisor of Large Cap Value Fund II and receives for its services an allocable portion of the advisory fee that the Advisor receives from Large Cap Value Fund II. The allocation is based on the amount of the average daily net assets that NWQ manages for the Fund. NWQ’s fee is paid by the Advisor and not by the Fund. NWQ is paid by the Advisor as follows: 0.45% of the average daily net assets of Large Cap Value Fund II.

M&T Securities and MTBIA may each voluntarily choose to waive any portion of its fee. M&T Securities and MTBIA can each modify or terminate its voluntary waiver at any time at its sole discretion.

Effective September 10, 2007, the Trust entered into a fund administration and accounting agreement and custody agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon. Fees for such services are based on assets and volume of transactions.

Distribution Services Fee – The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan allows the Funds to pay fees to financial intermediaries, which may be paid through ALPS Distributors Inc., at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds for the sale, distribution, administration, customer servicing and recordkeeping of the Funds’ shares. The Funds may waive or reduce the maximum amount of Distribution Services Fees it pays from time to time in its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary or ALPS Distributors Inc., may waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled. For the period January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008, ALPS did not retain any fees paid by the Funds.

Shareholder Services Fee – Pursuant to a Shareholder Services Plan adopted by the Funds and administered by ALPS Distributors Inc, the Funds may pay up to 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s shares to financial intermediaries (which may include the Distributor, the Advisor or their affiliates) for providing shareholder services and maintaining shareholder accounts. M&T

The Funds may waive or reduce the maximum amount of shareholder service fees it pays from time to time at its sole discretion. In addition, a financial intermediary (including M&T Securities) may waive or reduce any fees to which they are entitled. For the period January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2008, neither M&T Securities or ALPS Distributors Inc., received any fees paid by the Funds.

Other Fees – For the period November 16, 2007 through November 16, 2010, the Bank of New York Mellon has agreed to pay the excess amount of fees payable to ALPS Distributors, Inc., for transfer agency services when the total expenses payable to all Funds exceed $1,047,803 per year. These amounts are shown as waivers on the Statement of Operations.

Foresides Management Services, LLC (“FMS”) provides a Principal Executive Officer to the Trust.

LOC was made available for extraordinary or emergency purposes, primarily for financing redemption payments. Borrowings were charged an interest rate of 0.50% per annum over the Federal Funds Rate. The LOC included a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum on the daily unused portion. For the period February 13, 2008, to June 30, 2008, the Funds did not utilize this line of credit.

 

8.   RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In March 2008, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 161). FAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The application of FAS 161 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FAS 161 and its impact on the financial statements has not yet been determined.
