This report and the financial statements contained herein are submitted for the general information of the shareholders of the Hillman Capital Management Funds (“Funds”).  This report is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors in the Funds unless preceded or accompanied by an effective prospectus.  The Funds’ shares are not deposits or obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. The Funds’ shares are not insured by the FDIC, Federal Reserve Board or any other agency, and are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal amount invested.  Neither the Funds nor the Funds’ distributor is a bank.

Investments in the Hillman Capital Management Funds (“Funds”) are subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of some or the entire principal amount invested. There can be no assurance that the Funds will be successful in meeting its investment objective. Investment in the Funds is also subject to the following risks: market risk, investment advisor risk, management style risk. In addition, the Focused Advantage Fund is also subject to the following risks: non-diversified status risk, and sector focus risk. More information about these risks and other risks can be found in the Funds’ prospectus.

The performance information quoted in this semi-annual report represents past performance, which is not a guarantee of future results.  Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.  An investor may obtain performance data current to the most recent month-end by visiting www.hillmancapital.com.

An investor should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of the Funds carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the Funds. A copy of the prospectus is available at www.hillmancapital.com or by calling Shareholder Services at 1-800-773-3863. The prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Stated performance in the Funds was achieved at some or all points during the year by waiving or reimbursing part of the Funds’ total expenses to ensure shareholders did not absorb expenses significantly greater than the industry norm.

This Semi-Annual Report was first distributed to shareholders on or about May 29, 2009.

Fund Expenses (Unaudited)
 
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) 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 as indicated below.
 
Actual Expenses – The first line of the table below provides information about the 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 annual rate of return of 5% 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 the Fund and other funds by comparing this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 sales charges (loads) on purchase payments.  Therefore, the last 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.

1.   Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Hillman Advantage Equity Fund and The Hillman Focused Advantage Fund, (collectively the “Funds” and individually a “Fund”) are series funds. The Funds are part of the Hillman Capital Management Investment Trust (the “Trust”), which was organized as a Delaware Business Statutory Trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-ended management investment company.

The Hillman Advantage Equity Fund (“Advantage Equity Fund”) commenced operations on December 29, 2000. The investment objective of the Fund is to seek maximum total return through a combination of long-term capital appreciation and current income.

The Hillman Focused Advantage Fund (“Focused Advantage Fund”) commenced operations on December 29, 2000.  The investment objective of the Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.

The Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”) approved, on February 14, 2006, a plan to authorize three new classes of shares for both Funds designated as Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares.  On July 18, 2006, the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares became effective.  The Funds currently have an unlimited number of authorized shares, which are divided into four classes – No Load Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares.

Each class of shares has equal rights as to assets of the Fund, and the classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing distribution and service fees.  Income, expenses (other than distribution and service fees), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative net assets.  All classes have equal voting privileges, except where otherwise required by law or when the Trustees determine that the matter to be voted on affects only the interests of the shareholders of a particular class. The Funds’ Class B and Class C shares are sold without an initial sales charge; however, they are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class B shares are charged at the rate of 5% in the first year and declining to 0% over a six-year period, and Class C shares at a rate of 1% if redeemed in the first year, which is payable to the Distributor of the Trust. Class A shares are sold with an initial sales charge of up to 5.75% of the amount invested. The No Load, Class A, Class B, and Class C shares are subject to distribution plan fees as described in Note 3. Class B shares automatically convert into Class A shares after eight years, and Class C shares are automatically converted into the No Load shares after ten years.

The following accounting policies have been consistently followed by the Funds and are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the investment company industry.

Investment Valuation
The Funds’ investments in securities are carried at value.  Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Funds’ normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Trustees.  Fair value pricing may be used, for example, in situations where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Funds’ net asset value calculation.  A portfolio security’s “fair value” price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Funds’ normal pricing procedures.  Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Fair Value Measurement
In September 2006, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS 157”).  SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a frame work for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.

 Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

a.  
Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
b.  
Level 2: other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
c.  
Level 3: significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.  The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund's assets as of March 31, 2009:

    -  

Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date).  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Certain dividends from foreign securities will be recorded as soon as the Trust is informed of the dividend if such information is obtained subsequent to the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of discounts and premiums.  Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

Expenses
The Funds bear expenses incurred specifically on their behalf as well as a portion of general trust expenses, which are allocated according to methods reviewed annually by the Trustees.

Dividend Distributions
The Funds may declare and distribute dividends from net investment income (if any) at the end of each calendar quarter.  Distributions from capital gains (if any) are generally declared and distributed annually.  Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-date.

Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 the net assets from operations during the reported period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements, as the Funds intend to distribute to shareholders all taxable investment income and realized gains and otherwise comply with Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

2.   Transactions with Affiliates

Advisor
The Funds pays a monthly advisory fee to Hillman Capital Management, Inc., (the “Advisor”) based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund and calculated at an annual rate.  For the six-month period ended March 31, 2009, the Advisor waived its fees and assumed other expenses of each Fund in order to limit each Fund’s total operating expenses

Administrator
Each Fund pays a monthly administration fee to The Nottingham Company (the “Administrator”) based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund and calculated at the annual rates as shown in the schedule below which is subject to a minimum of $2,000 per month per Fund.  The Administrator also receives a fee to procure and pay the custodian for each Fund, additional compensation for fund accounting and recordkeeping services, and additional compensation for certain costs involved with the daily valuation of securities and as reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.  A breakdown of these fees is provided in the following schedule.  For the six month period ended March 31, 2009, the Administrator reimbursed expenses in the amounts of $31,359 to the Advantage Equity Fund and $19,230 to the Focused Advantage Fund.

Compliance Services
Nottingham Compliance Services, LLC, a fully owned affiliate of The Nottingham Company, provides services which assist the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer in monitoring and testing the policies and procedures of the Trust in conjunction with requirements under Rule 38a-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  It receives compensation for this service at an annual rate of $7,750 per Fund.

Transfer Agent
North Carolina Shareholder Services, LLC (“Transfer Agent”) serves as transfer, dividend paying, and shareholder servicing agent for the Funds.  It receives compensation for its services based upon $15 per shareholder per year, subject to a minimum fee of $1,750 per month per Fund, plus $500 per month for each additional class of shares.

Distributor
Capital Investment Group, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor.  The Distributor receives any sales charges imposed on purchases of shares and re-allocates a portion of such charges to dealers through whom the sale was made, if any.  During the six month period ended March 31, 2009, there were no sales charges for the Advantage Equity Fund or Focused Advantage Fund.

Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor, the Distributor or the Administrator.

3.  Distribution and Service Fees

The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act), of the Trust adopted distribution and service plans pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act (the “Plans”) applicable to the No Load Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares.  The 1940 Act regulates the manner in which a regulated investment company may assume costs of distributing and promoting the sales of its shares and servicing of its shareholder accounts.  The Plans provide that the Fund may incur certain costs, which may not exceed 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets of the No Load Shares and Class A Shares or 1.00% per annum of the average daily net assets of

the Class B Shares or Class C Shares for each year elapsed subsequent to adoption of the Plans, for payment to the Distributor and others for items such as advertising expenses, selling expenses, commissions, travel, or other expenses reasonably intended to result in sales of No Load Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares in the Funds or support servicing of those classes’ shareholder accounts.    See the table below for a breakout of the 12b-1 fees incurred and waived for the Advantage Equity Fund and the Focused Advantage Fund for the six month period ended March 31, 2009.

4.   Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

For the six month period ended September 30, 2009 the aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) were as follows:

Fund
 
Purchases of Securities
   
Proceeds from Sales of Securities
 
Advantage Equity
  $ 3,521,114     $ 5,993,055  
Focused Advantage
  $ 3,526,789     $ 12,766,316  

There were no purchases of long-term U.S. Government Obligations for either Fund during the six month period ended March 31, 2009.

5.   Federal Income Tax

Distributions are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which differ from generally accepted accounting principles, and, therefore, may differ significantly in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes.  Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences.

Management reviewed the tax positions in the open tax years of 2006, 2007, and 2008 and determined that the implementation of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” had no impact on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.  As of and during the year ended March 31, 2009, the Fund does not have a liability for uncertain tax positions.  The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations.  During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

Commitments and Contingencies

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds.  In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds entered into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications.  The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds.  The Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

3.  
Approval of Advisory Agreement During the Period

The Advisor supervises the investments of the Funds pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement.  At the annual meeting of the Funds’ Board of Trustees on November 18, 2008, the Trustees unanimously approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement for another year.  In considering whether to approve the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed and considered the information they deemed reasonably necessary, including the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor; (ii) the investment performance of the Funds and the Advisor; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors; (v) the Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions; and (vi) the Advisor’s practices regarding possible conflicts of interest.
 
At the meeting, the Trustees reviewed various informational materials including, without limitation, a copy of the Investment Advisory Agreement for the Funds; a memorandum from the Advisor to the Trustees containing information about the Advisor, its business, its finances, its personnel, its services to the Funds, and comparative expense ratio information for other mutual funds with strategies similar to the Funds; and a memorandum from Kilpatrick Stockton LLP (counsel to the Funds) that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board of Trustees in reviewing and approving the Investment Advisory Agreement, including the types of information and factors that should be considered in order to make an informed decision.

In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds, the Trustees considered the responsibilities of the Advisor under the Investment Advisory Agreement.  The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by the Advisor to the Funds including, without limitation, the quality of its investment advisory services since each Fund’s inception (including research and recommendations with respect to portfolio securities); its procedures for formulating investment recommendations and assuring compliance with each Fund’s investment objectives and limitations; its coordination of services for the Funds among the Funds’ service providers; and its efforts to promote the Funds, grow the Funds’ assets, and assist in the distribution of Fund shares.  The Trustees noted that the Trust’s president, treasurer, principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and chief compliance officer were either employees of the Advisor or retained by the Advisor and serve the Funds without additional compensation from the Funds.  After reviewing the foregoing information and further information in the memorandum from the Advisor (e.g., descriptions of the Advisor’s business, the Advisor’s compliance programs, and the Advisor’s Form ADV), the Board of Trustees concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor were satisfactory and adequate for the Funds.

In considering the investment performance of the Funds and the Advisor, the Trustees compared the short and long-term performance of each Fund with the performance of its benchmark index, comparable funds with similar objectives managed by other investment advisors, and applicable peer group data (e.g., Bloomberg peer group averages).  The Trustees

also considered the consistency of the Advisor’s management of each Fund with its investment objective and policies.  After reviewing the short and long-term investment performance of the Funds, the Advisor’s experience managing the Funds and other advisory accounts, the Advisor’s historical investment performance, and other factors, the Board of Trustees concluded that the investment performance of the Funds and the Advisor was satisfactory.

In considering the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds, including any benefits derived or to be derived by the Advisor from the relationship with the Funds, the Trustees considered the Advisor’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the education and experience of the Advisor’s personnel; the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures; the financial condition of the Advisor; the level of commitment to the Funds and the Advisor by the principals of the Advisor; the asset level of each Fund; and the overall expenses of each Fund, including certain prior fee waivers and reimbursements by the Advisor on behalf of the Funds and the nature and frequency of advisory fee payments.  The Trustees discussed the financial stability and profitability of the Advisor and the Advisor’s prior fee waivers in detail, including the nature and scope of cost allocation for such fees.  The Trustees also considered potential benefits for the Advisor in managing the Funds, including promotion of the Advisor’s name, the ability for the Advisor to place small accounts into the Funds, and the potential for the Advisor to generate soft dollars from certain of the Funds’ trades that may benefit the Advisor’s other clients as well.  The Trustees then compared the fees and expenses of each Fund (including the management fee) to other funds comparable in terms of the type of fund, the nature of its investment strategy, and its style of investment management, among other factors.  With respect to each Fund, the Trustees determined that the management fee was higher than the comparable funds and the net expense ratio was higher than some of the comparable funds and lower than others.  The Trustees also determined that each Fund’s management fee and net expense ratio were higher than its peer group average.  The Trustees noted that each Fund was much smaller in size than its peer group average.  Following this comparison and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Board of Trustees concluded that the fees to be paid to the Advisor by the Funds were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor.

In considering the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Funds grow and whether the advisory fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Funds’ investors, the Trustees considered that each Fund’s fee arrangements with the Advisor involved the management fee and voluntary waivers from the Advisor.  The Trustees noted that, while the management fees remained the same at all asset levels, the Funds’ shareholders had experienced benefits from the Advisor’s voluntary waiver of advisory fees for the Funds and the Funds’ shareholders would benefit from economies of scale under the Funds’ agreements with service providers other than the Advisor.  Following further discussion of the Funds’ asset levels, expectations for growth, and fee levels, the Board of Trustees determined that the Funds’ fee arrangements were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by the Advisor.

In considering the Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions, the Trustees considered the Advisor’s standards, and performance in utilizing those standards, for seeking best execution for Fund portfolio transactions.  The Trustees also considered the anticipated portfolio turnover rate for the Funds; the process by which evaluations are made of the overall reasonableness of commissions paid; the method and basis for selecting and evaluating the broker-dealers used; any anticipated allocation of portfolio business to persons affiliated with the Advisor; and the extent to which the Funds allocate portfolio business to broker-dealers who provide research, statistical, or other services (“soft dollars”).  After further review and discussion, the Board of Trustees determined that the Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions were satisfactory.

In considering the Advisor’s practices regarding conflicts of interest, the Trustees evaluated the potential for conflicts of interest and considered such matters as the experience and ability of the advisory personnel assigned to the Funds; the basis for past soft dollar payments with broker-dealers, including any broker-dealers affiliated with the Advisor; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Funds and/or the Advisor’s other accounts; the method for bunching of portfolio securities transactions; and the substance and administration of the Advisor’s code of ethics.  Following further consideration and discussion, the Board of Trustees indicated that the Advisor’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of possible conflicts of interests were satisfactory.

Based upon all of the foregoing considerations, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Trust’s independent trustees, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Agreement.
