———————
(1)        “Other Expenses” are estimated for the current fiscal year.  Actual expenses may differ from estimates.
 
(2)         The investment adviser has agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses (other than interest, brokerage commissions, dividend expense on short sales, taxes, extraordinary expenses and acquired fund fees and expenses) so that total annual operating expenses are not expected to exceed 1.50%.  This arrangement cannot be terminated prior to February 28, 2015 without the Board of Directors’ (the “Board”) consent.  The investment adviser is permitted to recapture amounts waived and/or reimbursed within three years after the fiscal year in which the adviser earned the fee or incurred the expense if the total annual operating expenses have fallen to a level below the limit described above.

Example:   This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.  The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods.  The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

$474

Portfolio Turnover:   The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fund’s performance.  The Fund is newly offered; therefore, it does not have a turnover rate to report for the most recent fiscal year.

Principal Investment Strategies:   The Fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purchases) in low priced common stocks with market capitalizations that are below $3 billion at the time of initial purchase.  (The Fund may continue to hold the securities of a company after it exceeds $3 billion in market capitalization.)  Low priced stocks are those that are trading at or below $15 per share at the time of initial purchase.  (Subsequent to the initial purchase, the Fund may purchase such securities at a price above $15 per share.)  The Fund’s strategy is based on the premise that low priced stocks offer growth potential because these stocks have limited broker research coverage, the companies’ prospects are misunderstood by most investors, and some investors mistakenly believe stocks trading below $15 per share are more “speculative” than those trading at higher levels and therefore avoid low priced stocks.  
 
The Fund will invest in “growth” stocks, “value” stocks, or a combination of both.  Given the market capitalization restrictions, the Fund will normally invest in securities issued by small-cap companies, including some micro-cap companies.  However, micro-cap companies will only make up a small portion of the Fund’s portfolio.  Micro-cap companies represent the smallest sector of public companies based on market capitalization.

The Fund’s investment adviser uses a “bottom-up” approach of fundamental analysis to look for individual companies that the adviser believes offer significant potential for stock price appreciation.  In addition, the adviser seeks to invest in companies with the following attributes:

 
Have a high percentage of their shares owned by company management;
 
Possess relatively low levels of long-term debt;
 
Have a potential for above-average growth in revenues and/or earnings; and
 
Possess reasonable valuations based on the ratios of price-to-sales, price-to-earnings, and price-to-book values.

At times, the Fund’s portfolio may contain the shares of unseasoned companies, companies that are undergoing corporate restructuring, initial public offerings, and companies believed to possess undervalued assets.

Although the Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation, stocks may be sold in the short-term for several reasons.  These include: (1) a company’s financial condition deteriorates to the point that, in the opinion of the Fund’s investment adviser, the company’s future growth prospects are impaired; (2) a company’s valuation multiples such as price-to-sales ratio, price-to-earnings ratio, or price-to-book value ratio expand to the point that the Fund’s investment adviser believes the company’s stock is significantly overvalued; or (3) the Fund’s investment adviser believes that another stock has better investment potential.

The Low Priced Stock Fund is intended for investors who are willing to withstand the risk of short-term price fluctuations in exchange for potential long-term capital appreciation.

Principal Risks:   There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your money on your investment in the Fund.  This risk may increase during times of significant market volatility.  The risks below could affect the value of your investment, and because of these risks the Fund is a suitable investment only for those investors who have long-term investment goals:

·  
Common Stocks :   Common stocks occupy the most junior position in a company’s capital structure.  Although common stocks have a history of long-term growth in value, their prices fluctuate based on changes in a company’s financial condition and on overall market and economic conditions.  Therefore, the price of common stocks may decline for a number of reasons.  The price declines may be steep, sudden and/or prolonged.

·  
Micro-Cap & Small Capitalization Companies :   Micro-cap and small capitalization companies typically have relatively lower revenues, limited product lines, lack of management depth, higher risk of insolvency and a smaller share of the market for their products or services than larger capitalization companies.  Generally, the share prices of stocks of micro-cap and small capitalization companies are more volatile than those of larger capitalization companies.  Thus, the Fund’s share price may increase and decrease by a greater percentage than the share prices of funds that invest in the stocks of large capitalization companies.  Also, the returns of micro-cap and small capitalization company stocks may vary, sometimes significantly, from the returns of the overall market.  In addition, micro-cap and small capitalization company stocks tend to perform poorly during times of economic stress.  Relative to large capitalization company stocks, the stocks of micro-cap and small capitalization companies are thinly traded, and purchases and sales may result in higher transactions costs.  For these reasons, the Fund is a suitable investment for only that part of an investor’s capital that can be exposed to above-average risk.

·  
Low Priced Stocks :   The price swings of small and micro-cap low priced stocks are generally more volatile than higher priced large-cap companies.  Low priced stocks are generally more illiquid than higher priced securities.

·  
Early Stage Companies :   Early stage companies are subject to the same risks as micro-cap companies.  In addition, they may not be profitable initially and there is no guarantee that they will become profitable or be able to obtain necessary financing.  They may rely on untested business plans.  Early stage companies may not be successful in developing markets for their products and services.  They may remain an insignificant part of their industry.  They may be illiquid or may not be publicly traded.  Investments in early stage companies tend to be more volatile and somewhat more speculative than investments in more established companies.

·  
Market Risk :   The Fund may be exposed to “market risk.”  Market risk is the risk that stocks may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time.  Price changes may occur in the market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular company, industry or sector of the market.

·  
New Fund Risk :   The Fund is new with no operating history and there can be no assurance that the Fund will grow to or maintain an economically viable size.

·  
Manager Risk :   The Fund may lose money if the Fund’s investment strategy does not achieve the Fund’s objective or the Fund’s investment adviser does not implement the strategy properly.

Performance:   The following bar chart and table provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund’s performance from year to year, as represented by the performance of the Fund’s predecessor, and how the Fund’s average annual returns over time, as represented by the performance of the Fund’s predecessor, compare with those of the Russell 2000 ® Index.  Updated performance information is available on the Fund’s website at www.perrittcap.com or by calling the Fund toll-free at 1-800-332-3133. The past performance of the Fund and its predecessor (before and after taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

 
Sales charges are not reflected in the accompanying bar chart, and if those charges were included, returns would be less than those shown.
 
The Fund is the successor to a separately managed account (the “Predecessor”).  The performance in the accompanying bar chart and table is that of the Predecessor.  Immediately prior to the Fund commencing operations, the Predecessor transferred its assets to the Fund in exchange for the Fund’s shares.  The investment policies, objectives, guidelines and restrictions of the Fund are in all material respects equivalent to those of the Predecessor.  In addition, the Predecessor’s portfolio managers are the current portfolio managers of the Fund.  As a mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund is subject to certain restrictions under the 1940 Act and the Internal Revenue Code to which the Predecessor was not subject.  Had the Predecessor been registered under the 1940 Act and been subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act and the Code, its investment performance may have been adversely affected.  The performance was achieved by the Predecessor when Fund assets were relatively small; the same strategies may not be available, and similar performance may not be achieved, when the Fund’s assets are larger.  The performance shown includes an annual management fee of 1.00% and does not include any expenses paid by the Predecessor’s investment adviser.
 
The Predecessor did not have distribution policies.  The Predecessor was an unregistered separately managed account, did not qualify as a regulated investment company for federal income tax purposes and did not pay dividends or distributions.
