Annual Fund Operating Expense Ratio (from Prospectus dated 10/1/13): 1.65%

The Annual Fund Operating Expense Ratio reported above will not correlate to the expense ratio in the Fund’s financial highlights because (a) the financial highlights include only the direct operating expenses incurred by the Fund, not the indirect costs of investing in acquired funds and (b) the financial highlights reflect the impact of a waiver which was in effect until September 30, 2013. For more information on the waiver, see Note 4.

(A) The 1 Year and Since Inception returns include change in share prices and in each case includes reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions. The HNP Growth and Preservation Fund commenced operations on June 1, 2011.

(B) The S&P 500® Index is a widely recognized unmanaged index of equity prices and is representative of a broader market and range of securities than is found in the Fund’s portfolio. The Index is an unmanaged benchmark that assumes reinvestment of all distributions and excludes the effect of taxes and fees. Individuals cannot invest directly in this Index; however, an individual can invest in exchange traded funds or other investment vehicles that attempt to track the performance of a benchmark index.

(C) The Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index SM (Global Series) is a Dow Jones Relative Risk Index SM that tracks three Composite Major Asset Classes (CMACs) - stocks, bonds and cash. The CMAC risk level of the Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio Index SM is based on a 60% weighting in stocks.

2013 Semi-Annual Report 2


Expense Example
(Unaudited)

Shareholders of this Fund incur ongoing costs consisting of management fees and service fees. Although the Fund charges no sales loads or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent. IRA accounts will be charged an $8.00 annual maintenance fee. If shares are redeemed within 90 days of purchase from the Fund, the shares are subject to a 2% redemption fee. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in the Fund on June 1, 2013 and held through November 30, 2013.

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period."

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 paid by a shareholder for the period. Shareholders 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 other funds' shareholder reports.

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 or the charges assessed by Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC as described above. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

2013 Semi-Annual Report 7


       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
HNP GROWTH AND PRESERVATION FUND
November 30, 2013
(Unaudited)

 

1.) ORGANIZATION
HNP Growth and Preservation Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a non-diversified series of the PFS Funds (the “Trust”) on May 24, 2011. The Trust was established under the laws of Massachusetts by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated January 13, 2000, which was amended and restated as of January 20, 2011. Prior to March 5, 2010, the Trust was named Wireless Fund. The Trust is registered as an open-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust may offer an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest in a number of separate series, each series representing a distinct fund with its own investment objectives and policies. As of November 30, 2013, there were nine series authorized by the Trust. The Fund commenced operations on June 1, 2011. The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation, with a secondary emphasis on capital preservation. The investment adviser to the Fund is HNP Capital Fund Management Group, LLC (the “Adviser”). Significant accounting policies of the Fund are presented in Note 2 below.

2.) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SECURITY VALUATION:
All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

SHARE VALUATION:
The net asset value (the “NAV”) is generally calculated as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) every day the Exchange is open. The NAV is calculated by taking the total value of the Fund’s assets, subtracting its liabilities, and then dividing by the total number of shares outstanding, rounded to the nearest cent. The offering price and redemption price per share is equal to the net asset value per share, except that shares of the Fund are subject to a redemption fee of 2% if redeemed within 90 days of purchase. During the six month period ended November 30, 2013, proceeds from redemption fees were $47.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES:
The Fund’s policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required. The Fund initially elected a tax year end of November 30. Beginning with the period ended May 31, 2012, the Fund has changed its election so that the tax year end is May 31.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of certain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years 2011 and 2012, or expected to be taken on the Fund’s 2013 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal tax authorities; however the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six month period ended November 30, 2013, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS:
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense, or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset value per share of the Fund.

 

2013 Semi-Annual Report 8


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

EXPENSES:
Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis.

OTHER:
The Fund records security transactions based on a trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

3.) INVESTMENT SECURITIES VALUATION
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

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

Level 2 - 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 inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, 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 availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund’s major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows:

Equity securities (exchange traded funds) . Equity securities that are traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, a long security is valued at its last bid price except when, in the Adviser's opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value of the long security. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”) and are categorized in level 2 or level 3, when appropriate.

 

2013 Semi-Annual Report 9


Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) - continued

In accordance with the Trust's good faith pricing guidelines, the Adviser 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. There is no single standard for determining fair value, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Adviser would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance 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.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund’s assets measured at fair value as of November 30, 2013:

Valuation Inputs of Assets     Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Exchange Traded Funds     $7,384,601     $0     $0     $7,384,601  
Total     $7,384,601     $0     $0     $7,384,601  

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 assets during the six month period ended November 30, 2013. There were no transfers into or out of the levels during the six month period ended November 30, 2013. It is the Fund’s policy to consider transfers into or out of the levels as of the end of the reporting period.

The Fund did not invest in derivative instruments during the six month period ended November 30, 2013.

4.) INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND SERVICES AGREEMENT
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (“Management Agreement”) with the Adviser.
