Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies employed by the Fund in preparing its financial statements:


Security Valuation- Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, or if an event occurs after the close of trading on the domestic or foreign exchange or market in which the security is principally traded (but prior to the time the NAV is calculated) that materially affects fair value, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Advisor in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees. The Board has adopted guidelines for good faith pricing, and has delegated to the Advisor the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.


Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. If the Advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees. Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.


In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Advisor is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above.  No single standard for determining fair value controls, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case.  As a general principle, the current fair value of securities being valued by the Advisor would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale.  Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.


FAS 157-In September 2006, FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. In accordance with SFAS No. 157, fair value is defined as the price that would be received by the Fund upon selling an asset or paid by the Fund to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of a principal market for the asset or liability, the assumption is that the transaction occurs on the most advantageous market for the

DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED)



asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the assumptions, also known as "inputs", to valuation techniques used by market participants to measure fair value. The term "inputs" refers broadly


to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.  Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed 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 developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three levels with the highest


priority given to Level 1 and the lowest priority given to Level 3: 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.) and Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2008 in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:




                                                                           Investments                   Other Financial

Valuation Inputs:                                               In Securities                     Instruments

Level 1 – Quoted Prices                                       $   842,515                          $         -

Level 2 – Significant Other Observable Inputs                    -                                     -

Level 3 – Significant Unobservable Inputs                          -                                      -

Total                                                                      $  842,515                          $          -


Repurchase Agreements- In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Company's policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines; realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or limited.


Financial Futures Contracts- The Fund invests in financial futures contracts solely for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets.


Share Valuation- The price (net asset value) of the shares of the Fund is normally determined as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on each day the Fund is open for business and on any other day on which there is sufficient trading in the Fund’s securities to materially affect the net asset value. The Fund is normally open for business on every day except Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.


Security Transaction Timing- Security transactions are recorded on the dates transactions are entered into (the trade dates).  Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recognized on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  The Fund uses the identified cost basis in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED)



Short Sales- The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of a short sale.


Option Writing- When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.


Income Taxes- The Fund intends to continue to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and any realized capital gains. It is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.  This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income.


FIN 48-The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 – Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on January 1, 2007.  FASB Interpretation No. 48 requires that the tax effects of certain tax positions to be recognized.  These tax positions must meet a “more likely than not” standard based on their technical merits, and have a more than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained upon examination.  At adoption, the financial statements must be adjusted to reflect only those tax positions that are more likely than not of being sustained.  Management of the Fund does not believe that any adjustments were necessary to the financial statements at adoption.


Distributions to Shareholders- The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, at year-end. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.  See Note 8.


Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increase and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Other- Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid in capital.


Note 3. Investment Management Agreement

The Fund has a management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with the Advisor to furnish investment advisory and management services to the Fund. The Fund will pay the Advisor a monthly fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets at the annual rate of 1.25%.


The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the expenses but only to the extent necessary to maintain the Fund’s total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs, such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; indirect costs of investing in other funds; and extraordinary expenses) at 1.99% of its average daily net assets through October 31, 2009. Advisory fee waivers and expense reimbursements by the Advisor are subject to repayment by the Fund for a period of three years after such fees and expenses are incurred provided that the repayments do not cause the ordinary expenses to exceed 1.99% per annum. For the period ended December 31, 2008, the Advisor earned advisory fees of $5,390, of which all was waived and the Advisor reimbursed the Fund $18,834.

     (360,049)

 

     $   (160,929)


On December 30, 2008 the Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund paid a net investment income gain of $0.0185 per share, a short-term capital gain of $1.0113 per share, and a long-term capital gain of $1.9496 for a total distribution of $261,052.  Distributions from realized gains in the amount of $50,998 were paid to shareholders on December 28, 2007 at a rate of $.62 per share.


Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions may result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized and unrealized gain/loss.  Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain/loss on investment transactions may include temporary book and tax differences which reverse in subsequent periods.  Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.


Note 9. Control and Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. As of December 31, 2008, the family of Steven M. Wegener, who serves as a control person of the Advisor and as a trustee and officer of the Trust, in aggregate, owned approximately 99.56% of the Fund and may be deemed to control the Fund.



Note 10.  New Accounting Pronouncements

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

Expense Illustration

December 31, 2008 (Unaudited)

    

Expense Example

    

As a shareholder of the Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs(in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

    

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire

period, July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008.

  
    

Actual Expenses

    

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

    

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

    

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

Approval of Management Agreement

The Management Agreement was approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or interested parties of the Management Agreement (collectively, the “Independent Trustees”), at an in-person meeting held on June 24, 2008.  The Trustees reviewed a memorandum describing their duties when considering renewal of the Management Agreement.  The Board then reviewed a copy of the Management Agreement and discussed its terms.  The factors considered by the Board of Trustees included: (i) the Adviser’s business and the qualifications of its personnel, (ii) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser to the Fund, (iii) the investment performance of the Adviser, (iv) the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Adviser, (v) the extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Fund grows, and (vi) whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scales to the benefit of shareholders.  


As to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s investment strategies and execution of those strategies.  The Trustees reviewed the Adviser’s ADV Parts I and II that describe the operations and policies of the Adviser.  The Trustees also reviewed a report from the Adviser, in which the Adviser addressed a series of questions prepared by the Trust’s legal counsel, the responses to which provided information relevant to their deliberations (the “Report”).  The Report included information regarding, among other things, the personnel of the Adviser and the Adviser’s compliance activities.  The Adviser certified to the Board that it had complied with the Trust’s Code of Ethics.  The Adviser noted that there had been no SEC inspections (except for the limited scope assessment during which no specific action was taken) or litigation and no changes in personnel.  The Board discussed the compliance activities of the Trust’s CCO.  Based on the information in the Report and their discussions with the Adviser, the Trustees concluded the Adviser has provided high quality services to the Fund, and that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser were reasonable and consistent with the Board’s expectations.


As to the Fund’s performance, the Board reviewed information in the Report regarding the Fund’s year-to-date, one year, and since inception returns.  The Adviser also presented comparison performance information on the S&P 500 Index, the Fund’s benchmark, as well as comparisons to the Russell 2000 Index and a peer group of other funds that can use shorting or options.  In particular, the Trustees noted that the Fund had performed better than the

WEGENER ADAPTIVE GROWTH FUND

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 2008 (UNAUDITED)



Hussman Strategic Growth Fund, which had a similar investment philosophy to that of the Fund.  The Trustees then discussed the performance of the Fund compared to that of each of the funds in the peer group and it was their consensus that the Adviser had added value for shareholders.  Finally, the Board noted that since inception, the Fund had performed very well compared to its benchmark and it was their consensus that overall the Fund had performed reasonably well.


The Board reviewed information comparing the management fee and expense ratio of the Fund to the fees and expenses paid by funds in a peer group with similar investment objectives and strategies.  The Trustees noted that the Fund’s management fee of 1.25% and expense ratio of 1.99% were each well within the range for the peer group for funds of a similar asset size of the Fund.  Following discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that the Fund’s expense ratio and management fee was fair considering the small size of the Fund and the expertise needed to execute the Fund’s strategy.


As to the profitability of the Adviser, the Board noted that, to date, the Adviser had operated at a loss in an effort to maintain the Fund’s favorable expense ratio of 2.00%.  As to economies of scale, it was the consensus of the Trustees that economies of scale will be realized as the Fund’s assets grow but were not relevant at this time.  With respect to the fee waiver pursuant to which the Adviser would cap certain Fund expenses at 1.99% until October 21, 2008, the Trustees noted that the Adviser appeared to have the financial wherewithal to continue the expense cap due to a line of credit and personal guaranty backing the obligation of the Adviser to reimburse expenses.  The Board then noted that the line of credit would expire in 2011 and determined to revisit the issue again closer to that time.  The Adviser  addressed plans for the future growth of the Fund and indicated that while the Trustees did have the option of activating the Fund’s 12b-1 Plan, he hoped that the Fund’s positive performance would attract assets and that the Fund would not have to rely on a 12b-1 Plan to perform this function.


The Board then temporarily adjourned for an executive session of the Independent Trustees with Trust counsel.  Upon reconvening, the Board determined that the overall arrangement provided under the terms of the Agreement was a reasonable business arrangement and that the approval of the Agreement was in the best interests of the Trust and the Fund’s shareholders. Accordingly, they approved the continuation of the Management Agreement for an additional year.
