NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)



 1.  ORGANIZATION


The CCA Aggressive Return Fund (the "Fund") is a diversified series of the MSS Series Trust (the "Trust") and commenced operations on December 26, 2012.  The Trust is an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 20, 2006 (the "Trust Agreement").  The Trust Agreement permits the Board of Trustees (the "Board" or "Trustees") to authorize and issue an unlimited number of shares, without par value, of beneficial interest of each separate series.  There are currently seven separate series offered by the Trust.  The investment adviser to the Fund is Checchi Capital Advisers, LLC ("CCA" or "Adviser").


The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term total return.


2.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following is a summary of significant accounting policies used in preparing the financial statements.  The Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” and Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-08.


SECURITY VALUATIONS:  


Processes and Structure

The Board has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to oversight by the Board.


Fair Value Pricing Policy

The Board has adopted guidelines for fair value pricing, and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to oversight by the Board.  If market quotations are not readily available, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale) as determined in good faith by the Adviser ("Fair Value Pricing"), subject to oversight by the Board.  The Adviser must use reasonable diligence in determining whether market quotations are readily available.  If, for example, the Adviser determines that one source of market value is unreliable, the Adviser must diligently seek market quotations from other sources, such as other brokers or pricing services, before concluding that market quotations are not available.  Fair Value Pricing is not permitted when market quotations are readily available.


Fixed income securities generally are valued using market quotations provided by a pricing service.  If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does



20


CCA AGGRESSIVE RETURN FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MAY 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)



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 Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board.


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, may be valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, when the Board has determined that it will represent fair value.


Fair Value Measurements

GAAP defines fair value as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability.  The three-tier hierarchy seeks to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. 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 Fund’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.  


Equity securities (common stocks, exchange traded funds, and real estate investment trusts). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, exchange traded funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in Level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in Level 2.


U.S. government obligations. U.S. government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data, such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations. U.S. government securities are categorized in Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used and market activity levels for specific securities.



21


CCA AGGRESSIVE RETURN FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MAY 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)



Short-term investments.  Short term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value.  These securities will be categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.


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.


Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company 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 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 that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the company's own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.


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


The following table presents information about the Fund’s investments measured at fair value as of May 31, 2020, by major security type:

CCA AGGRESSIVE RETURN FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MAY 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)



SECURITY TRANSACTION TIMING: For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period.  Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recognized on the ex-dividend date.  Non-cash dividend income is recorded at fair market value of the securities received.  Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  The Fund uses the specific identification method in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the appropriate country’s rules and tax rates.


FEDERAL INCOME TAX: The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax.  The Fund intends to qualify each year as “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income.  The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains.  If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.


The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2016-2019) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2020 tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. federal, and 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 12 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 months ended May 31, 2020, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.


SHARE VALUATION:  The Fund’s NAV is calculated once daily at the close of regular trading hours on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the NYSE is open. The NAV is determined by totaling the value of all portfolio securities, cash and other assets held by the Fund, and subtracting from that total all liabilities, including accrued expenses.  The total net assets are divided by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund to determine the NAV of each share class.


DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS: The Fund typically distributes substantially all of its net investment income and realized gains in the form of dividends and taxable capital gains to its shareholders. The Fund intends to distribute dividends and capital gains at least annually.  Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in



23


CCA AGGRESSIVE RETURN FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MAY 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)



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 taxes 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 NAV per share of the Fund.


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


REDEMPTION FEES: To discourage short-term trades by investors, and to offset any transaction and other costs associated with short-term trading, the Fund will impose a redemption fee of 2.00% on shares redeemed within 60 days of investment. Shares held longest will be treated as being redeemed first and shares held shortest as being redeemed last.  The redemption fee is applied uniformly in all cases.  There were no redemption fees collected by the Fund during the six months ended May 31, 2020.

  

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION:  The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars.  Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation.  Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.


The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.  Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.


Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.  Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal year-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.


USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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



24


CCA AGGRESSIVE RETURN FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MAY 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)



net assets from operations during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Fund maintains its cash in an account at a custodian bank which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.


3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


INVESTMENT ADVISER: Checchi Capital Advisers, LLC, serves as the Fund’s investment adviser.  Pursuant to a management agreement, the Fund pays CCA, an investment advisory fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund's average daily net assets. During the six months ended May 31, 2020, the Adviser earned $112,906 in advisory fees from the Fund.  During the six months ended May 31, 2020, the Adviser waived advisory fees of $57,990.  At May 31, 2020, the Fund owed the Adviser $5,557.


The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and to reimburse expenses, at least through April 1, 2021, to ensure that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund, after fee waiver and reimbursement (exclusive of any 12b-1 fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expenses, dividend expenses on short sales, taxes, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, or extraordinary expenses such as litigation) will not exceed 0.90% of the average daily net assets.  These fee waivers and expense reimbursements are subject to possible recoupment from the Fund within three years after the waiver or reimbursement occurs, if such recoupment is approved by the Board. The Fund may only make a repayment to the Adviser if such repayment does not cause the Fund’s expenses to exceed both 1) the expense cap in place of the time the expenses were waived, and 2) the Fund’s current expense cap.  This agreement may be terminated only by the Board, on 60 days written notice to the Adviser.  Fee waiver and reimbursement arrangements can decrease the Fund’s expenses and boost its performance.  As of November 30, 2019, expense waivers and reimbursements subject to recoupment were as follows:

Pokersnik is the owner/president of Empirical, and also an employee of MSS.  Mr. Pokersnik serves as the Chief Compliance Officer and an officer of the Trust.  For the services Empirical provides under the Administration and Compliance Agreements, Empirical receives a monthly fee of $1,000 from the Fund.  For the six months ended May 31, 2020, Empirical earned $5,933 for these services.  As of May 31, 2020, the Fund owed Empirical $1,000.

The Underwriter is an affiliate of MSS.  Mr. Getts is the president and owner of the Underwriter.  For the six months ended May 31, 2020, the Advisor paid the Underwriter $9,270 for its services.  


4.  SHARES OF BENEFICIAL INTEREST

26


CCA AGGRESSIVE RETURN FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

MAY 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)



Cost basis differences between financial reporting basis and tax-basis are primarily attributable to wash sales.


As of November 30, 2019 the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:


Net unrealized appreciation

                 

$    976,266

Undistributed capital gain    

          4,684

Undistributed ordinary income

      779,616

Total

         

$ 1,760,566


For the six months ended May 31, 2020, the Fund paid an ordinary income distribution of $340,454, a short-term capital gain distribution of $471,716, and a long-term capital gain of $4,682.


For the year ended November 30, 2019, the Fund paid an ordinary income distribution of $1,133,573.


7.  BENEFICIAL 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 1940 Act.  As of May 31, 2020, Charles Schwab, Inc. held in omnibus accounts for the benefit of others, approximately 85% of the voting securities of the Fund and may be deemed to control the Fund.  


8.  CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS


The Fund indemnifies the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund.  Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.  However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.


9.  LINE OF CREDIT


The Fund has a secured $1,600,000 bank line of credit with U.S. Bank; all borrowings under the arrangement bear interest at the prime rate.  At May 31, 2020, the prime rate was 3.25%. The Fund had total borrowings of $27,000 during the six months ended May 31, 2020 and paid a total of $7 in related interest charges. For the six months ended May 31, 2020, the average borrowing amount and rate were $27,000 and 3.25%.  At the time of the borrowings, the prime rate was 4.75%.  The line of credit is collateralized by publicly traded stock held by the Fund. As of May 31, 2020, the outstanding balance was $0.

10.  MARKET RISK


Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Fund’s net asset value, and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns.  During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.


An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and has now been detected globally. This coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectious illnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak and its effects cannot be determined with certainty.


11.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the issuance date of these financial statements and has noted no such events requiring accounting or disclosure.

Expense Example


As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs which 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, December 1, 2019 through May 31, 2020.  


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 the 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 each 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 each 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.
