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

      

          Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

        

     

          Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.  

          These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an active market, price for similar instruments, interest rates,

           prepayment speeds, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

      

          Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available,representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best          information available.

      

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

      

The following is a summary of inputs used as of December 31, 2010 in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

WEGENER ADAPTIVE GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010 (UNAUDITED)


Note 1. Organization

The Wegener Adaptive Growth Fund (the “Fund”), is a diversified series of the Wegener Investment Trust (the “Trust”), an open-end registered investment company that was organized as an Ohio business trust on January 23, 2006. The Trust is permitted to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. The Fund is currently the only series authorized by the Trustees. The Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital appreciation while attempting to protect capital during negative market conditions using hedging strategies. The Fund’s principal investment strategy is to invest in a portfolio of common stocks that the Fund’s investment manager, Wegener, LLC (the “Advisor”), believes has superior prospects for appreciation.  The Fund commenced operations September 13, 2006.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Financial Accounting Standards Board Launches Accounting Standards Codification - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)  has issued FASB ASC 105 (formerly FASB Statement No. 168), The “FASB Accounting Standards Codification™” and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (“ASC 105”). ASC 105 established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the single source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification supersedes all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered, non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative.


Following the Codification, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates, which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.  GAAP is not intended to be changed as a result of the FASB's Codification project, but it will change the way the guidance is organized and presented. As a result, these changes will have a significant impact on how companies reference GAAP in their financial statements and in their accounting policies for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Fund has implemented the Codification as of December 31, 2009.


The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.  These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


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

WEGENER ADAPTIVE GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010 (UNAUDITED)


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.  No securities were Fair Valued as of December 31, 2010.


Repurchase Agreements- In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’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 Fund 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.


Redemption Fee – To discourage short-term trades by investors, the Funds will impose a redemption fee of 1.50% of the total redemption amount (calculated at market value) if shares are redeemed within 180 days of purchase.  There was $18,777 in redemption fees collected for the Fund during the six months ended December 31, 2010.  


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

WEGENER ADAPTIVE GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2010 (UNAUDITED)


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.


In addition, GAAP requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, fiscal years 2007-2010, as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major industries, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities.  As of and during the period ended December 31, 2010, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total tax amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.


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.


Subsequent Events - Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.  


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, 2011. 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 six months ended December 31, 2010, the Advisor earned advisory fees of $37,143, of which $8,263 was waived.   The Advisor reimbursed the Fund $8,236 for the six months ended December 31, 2010.  As of December 31, 2010, the Fund owed the Advisor $29,814.  


The Advisor will be entitled to reimbursement of fees waived or reimbursed by the Advisor to the Fund.  Fees including the waiver, or expenses reimbursed during a given fiscal year may be paid to the Advisor during the following three fiscal year periods to the extent that payment of such expenses does not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limitation.  As of June 30, 2010, the unreimbursed amounts paid or waived by the Advisor on behalf of the Fund are $113,577.  As of June 30, 2010, amounts subject to future recoupment are as follows:

WEGENER ADAPTIVE GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives contracts entered into during the six months ended December 31, 2010 by the Fund are recorded in the following locations in the Statement of Operations:

                                              on Options


The selling of written call options may tend to reduce the volatility of the Fund because the premiums received from selling the options will reduce any losses on the underlying securities, but only by the amount of the premiums. However, selling the options may also limit the Fund’s gain on the underlying securities.  Written call options expose the Fund to minimal counterparty risk since they are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearing house guarantees the options against default.


Note 7. Investment Transactions

For the six months ended December 31, 2010, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations, short-term investments and options aggregated $1,639,343 and $3,904,859, respectively.  Purchases and sales of options aggregated $1,153,513 and $628,208, respectively.   


Note 8. Tax Matters

As of June 30, 2010, the tax basis components of distributable earnings, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities for the Fund were as follows:


Undistributed ordinary income       

          $       29,569

Cost of investment securities, including Short Term investments and call options **    $  7,030,617

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, 2010, National Financial Service LLC, in omnibus accounts, in aggregate, owned approximately 42.26% of the Fund and may be deemed to control the Fund.

Note 10. New Accounting Pronouncement.

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”.  ASU No. 2010-06 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to require additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements.  Certain disclosures required by ASU No. 2010-06 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, and other required disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2010-06 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

Expense Illustration

December 31, 2010 (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, 2010 through December 31, 2010.

    

Actual Expenses

    

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. simply divide your account value by $1,000 (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.

    

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