SHAREHOLDER LETTER

OCTOBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

Dear Shareholders,

I should probably start this year’s letter by addressing the elephant in the room:  our fund holds almost all of its capital in cash equivalents.  I’d like to use this letter to help explain why.  The short reason is that we believe that this is the best course of action to maximize the long term returns of our shareholders.  The longer reason is that we continue to operate in an extreme environment in which real interest rates are negative.

Financial assets around the world are trading at values that have rarely been seen in history.  Prices do not reflect the fundamental earnings power of companies.  Equity values primarily reflect ultra-low interest rates, which are being set by government policy.

We adamantly believe that if these policies were not in place then equity values would be significantly lower than their current levels, perhaps by as much as 40%.  That’s because interest rates are far below normal levels.  If interest rates were raised purely to meet the current rate of inflation they would be ~200 basis points higher than where they currently sit.  If they rose to historical norms they could increase by 300-400 basis points.  Such increases in interest rates would lead to a widespread repricing of global financial assets.

The average high quality company that we analyze currently sells for 20-25x earnings, or a 4-5% earnings yield.  If interest rates were to rise to 2%, we would expect earnings yields to rise to 6-7%, and if they rose to 4% we would expect those yields to rise to 8-9%.  The 6-7% level corresponds with a PE multiple of 14-16x earnings.  The 8-9% level corresponds with a PE multiple of 11-13x earnings.  A drop from 20x to 11x works out to a 45% decline in price if you hold earnings constant.

This is not a unique insight, it’s just arithmetic.  If interest rates are raised even a little bit, stock prices are likely to fall significantly.  This is why most investors are obsessed with the Federal Reserve and when it will raise interest rates.  We wish that we had the answer to that question, but unfortunately, we don’t.  However, we do know that the Fed does have to raise interest rates eventually.

The important thing to remember is that these low interest rates are not a natural occurrence, they are the result of a policy decision and that policy decision can change at any time.  Most of our colleagues are operating as if these rates will stay in place forever.  We strongly believe the opposite.  The government’s policy will not stay in place primarily because it doesn’t work.  In a democracy, the voters make the ultimate determination.  Case in point, in 2016 the voters chose to elect a radically different regime, which may fundamentally restructure current economic policy, including interest rates.

It’s not a sure thing that this new President will change course, but it is a strong likelihood.  And either way, if it’s not Trump that places new theorists at the top of the Fed it will be the next President or the one thereafter.  The longer that the economy goes

AVONDALE CORE INVESTMENT FUND

SHAREHOLDER LETTER (CONTINUED)

OCTOBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

with lackluster performance, the more agitated the electorate becomes and the more it seeks change.

There are other feedback mechanisms that ensure change will come too.  The longer that policies don’t work, the more likely that the theorists themselves will seek out new solutions.  And if that fails, generational change is the ultimate certainty.  Father time will always keep marching and new stakeholders will take control of the economy.  Those stakeholders will enact policies which benefit them.  Millennials stand to benefit massively if asset prices are allowed to decline.  

When we weigh these factors, we continue to believe that time is on our side and that eventually we will be able to purchase assets at spectacular bargains purely because we were patient when other investors weren’t.  This is why we believe that the best strategy is to wait for the environment to change.  Cash will be the way to take advantage when that eventually comes.

Unfortunately, our strategy led to disappointing reported performance in 2016.  But even though market indexes didn’t go our way the fundamentals did.  Major political change took place in the United States and Europe and the Federal Reserve is under increasing pressure to raise interest rates.  Meanwhile valuations remain near historic highs.  We can’t control the markets, but we know that eventually the fundamentals matter.  When prices fall to match fundamentals we will be prepared to act.

Sincerely,

Scott Krisiloff

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2016

Note 1. Organization

The Avondale Funds (the “Trust”), an Ohio business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Trust was formed by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust on July 10, 2014. The Trust Agreement permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. The Trust currently consists of the Avondale Core Investment Fund (the "Fund"), a non-diversified fund whose investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation while utilizing asset allocation techniques to help preserve principal value. The Fund commenced operations on November 10, 2014. There are currently no other series in the Trust. The Adviser of the Fund is the Avondale Investment Company, LLC (“Adviser”).

 Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.

Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value according to the procedures described in Note 3.

Foreign currency: 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.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, 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 period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

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 its taxable income to its shareholders. The Company 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 capital gains. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.  

AVONDALE CORE INVESTMENT FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

OCTOBER 31, 2016

In addition, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, fiscal years 2015 (inception) -2016, 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 year ended October 31, 2016, 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.

Other:  The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date.  The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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.

Redemption Fees:  The Board of Trustees has adopted a redemption policy to discourage short term traders and/or market timers from investing in the Fund.  A 1.00% short-term redemption fee will be assessed by the Fund against investment proceeds withdrawn within 90 calendar days of investment.  Fund shares received from reinvested distributions or capital gains are not subject to the redemption fee.  After excluding any shares that are associated with reinvested distributions from the redemption fee calculation, the Fund uses a “first-in, first-out” method to determine the 30-day holding period.  During the year ended October 31, 2016, the Fund did not collect any redemption fees.

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

Underlying Fund Risk: The Fund may invest in money market funds and short term high quality debt securities such as commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit. Money market funds typically invest in short term instruments and attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. While the risk is low, these funds may lose value.  At October 31, 2016 the Fund held approximately 94% of net assets in a money market fund.  The money market fund the Fund is invested in at October 31, 2016 is Fidelity Institutional Money Market Fund, Class II. Further information on this money market fund is available at www.sec.gov.

OCTOBER 31, 2016

Reclassifications: In accordance with GAAP, the Fund recorded a permanent book/tax difference of $1,957 from net investment loss to paid-in capital for the year ending October 31, 2016. This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and is designed generally to present undistributed income and paid-in capital on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders.

Note 3. Security Valuations

Processes and Structure

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

Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three Levels of inputs are as follows:

·

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 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 Fund'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 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

AVONDALE CORE INVESTMENT FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

OCTOBER 31, 2016

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 (common stocks). 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 (“ADR”), 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.

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.

Investments in open-end mutual funds including money market funds are valued at their closing net asset value each business day and are classified in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value each Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of October 31, 2016:

	Financial Instruments—Assets
Categories	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Fair Value
Common Stocks	$   23,508	$          -	$          -	$   23,508
Money Market Fund	803,745	-	-	803,745
	$ 827,253	$          -	$          -	$ 827,253

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 assets during the year ended October 31, 2016. The Fund did not hold any derivative instruments at any time during the year ended October 31, 2016. There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 during the year ended October 31, 2016. It is the Fund's policy to recognize transfers into and out of Levels at the end of the reporting period.

Note 4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Under the terms of the management agreement (the “Agreement”), the Adviser manages the Fund’s investments subject to approval of the Board of Trustees. As compensation for its management services, the Fund is obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Adviser contractually has agreed to waive its fee and/or reimburse certain Fund operating expenses, but only to the extent necessary so that the Fund’s total operating expenses, excluding brokerage fees and commissions, any 12b-1 fees, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short), taxes, extraordinary expenses and any indirect expenses (such as fees and expenses of acquired funds), do not exceed, 1.15% of its average daily net assets as to the Fund. The contractual agreement is in effect through March 1, 2017. The waiver or reimbursement by the Adviser is subject to repayment by the Fund within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the particular waiver or expense was incurred; provided that the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the 1.15% as to the Fund’s expense limitation.  For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser earned advisory fees of $8,119.  For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Adviser waived $1,894 in fees pursuant to the expense limitation agreement. As of October 31, 2016, the Fund owed the Advisor $4,099.

The amounts subject to repayment by the Fund to the Adviser, pursuant to the aforementioned conditions, at October 31, 2016, were as follows:

	Subject to Repayment
Amount	by October 31,
$   646	2018
$1,894	2019

The Adviser pays all of the operating expenses of the Fund except brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs, front-end or contingent deferred loads, taxes, leverage, interest, extraordinary expenses such as litigation and any indirect expenses (such as Fees and Expenses of Acquired Funds), and expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short); fees and expenses of non-interested person trustees; and expenses incurred pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (if any).  Accordingly, the Adviser pays all of the operating expenses including the compensation and expenses of any trustees, officers and employees of the Fund and of any other persons rendering any services to the Fund including any sub-adviser; clerical and shareholder service staff salaries; office space and other office expenses; fees and expenses incurred by the Fund in connection with membership in investment company organizations; legal, auditing and accounting expenses; expenses of registering shares under federal and state securities laws; insurance expenses; fees and expenses of the custodian, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, shareholder service agent, plan agent, administrator, accounting and pricing services

agent and underwriter of the Fund; expenses, including clerical expenses, of issue, sale, redemption or repurchase of shares of the Fund; the cost of preparing and distributing reports and notices to shareholders, the cost of printing or preparing prospectuses and statements of additional information for delivery to the Fund's current and prospective shareholders; the cost of printing or preparing stock certificates or any other documents, statements or reports to shareholders; expenses of shareholders' meetings and proxy solicitations; advertising, promotion and other expenses incurred directly or indirectly in connection with the sale or distribution of the Fund's shares (excluding expenses which the Fund is authorized to pay pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act); and all other operating expenses not specifically assumed by the Fund. For this purpose, operating expenses do not include indirect expenses, such as expenses incurred by other investment companies in which the Fund may invest.  In this regard, it should be noted that most investment companies pay their own operating expenses directly, while the Fund’s expenses, except those specified above, are paid by the investment adviser.

Related Party

Umberto Anastasi is an officer of the Trust, and therefore an interested person.  Mr. Anastasi is an employee of Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC (“MSS”).  MSS is the transfer agent and fund accountant of the Fund.  For the year ended October 31, 2016, MSS earned $12,000.  These fees are paid by the Adviser and not by the Fund.

Greg B. Getts is the President and owner of both MSS and Arbor Court Capital, LLC (“Arbor Court”).  Arbor Court is the Fund’s distributor.  For the year ending October 31, 2016, Arbor Court earned $1,800.  These fees are paid by the Adviser and not by the Fund.

Note 5.  Distribution (12b-1) Agreement

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.  The Plan provides that the Fund will pay the Adviser and/or any registered securities dealer, financial institution or any other person (the “Recipient”) a shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in connection with the promotion and distribution of Fund shares or the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, the printing and mailing of sales literature and servicing shareholder accounts (“12b-1 Expenses”). The Fund or Adviser may pay all or a portion of these fees to any Recipient who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of shares, or who provides certain shareholder services, pursuant to a written agreement. The Plan is a compensation plan, which means that compensation is provided regardless of 12b-1 expenses actually incurred. It is anticipated that the Plan will benefit shareholders because an effective sales program typically is necessary in order for the Fund to reach and maintain a sufficient size to achieve efficiently its investment objectives and to realize economies of scale. The Plan is not currently activated and the plan will not be activated through March 1, 2017.

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 October 31, 2016, Charles Schwab & Co. Inc., for the benefit of its customers, owned approximately 80.61% of the Fund.

Note 10. Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund will enter into contracts that contain general indemnification to other parties. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 11. Money Market Fund Concentration

The Fund may invest in money market funds. Money market funds typically invest in short term instruments and attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. While the risk is low, these funds may lose value.  At October 31, 2016 the Fund held approximately 94% of net assets in a money market fund.

Note 12. 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

  of Avondale Core Investment Fund,

  a series of Avondale Funds

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Avondale Core Investment  Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Avondale Funds (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments in securities, as of October 31, 2016 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended,  the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended and for the period from November 10, 2014 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from November 10, 2014 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2015. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Avondale Core Investment  Fund, a series of Avondale Funds, as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the year then ended and for the period from November 10, 2014 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2015 and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period from November 10, 2014 (commencement of operations) through October 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION

OCTOBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

Expense Example

As a shareholder of Avondale Core Investment Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees and transactional costs.  This Example does not take into account transactional costs such as redemption fees. 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 six month period, May 1, 2016 through October 31, 2016.

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 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.  Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing your ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.  If transactional costs were included where applicable, your costs may be higher.

	Beginning Account Value	Ending Account Value	Expenses Paid During the Period*
	May 1, 2016	October 31, 2016	May 1, 2016 to October 31, 2016
Actual	$1,000.00	$998.98	$5.79
Hypothetical
(5% Annual Return before expenses)	$1,000.00	$1,019.41	$5.85
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.15%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Advisory Agreement Renewal – Avondale Investment Company (“AIC” or “Advisor”) is retained to manage the investments of the following series (referred to herein as a “Fund”) of the Avondale Funds (the “Trust”): the Avondale Core Investment Fund (the pursuant to the Management Service Agreement and Expense Limitation Agreement (the “Agreements”) between the Advisor and the Trust with respect to the Fund. At the in-person regular meeting of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of the Trust that was held on November 10, 2016, the Independent Trustees, trustees who are not parties to the Agreement or interested persons of any party to the Agreement (the “Independent Trustees”) as such are defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, after a lengthy discussion of the continuation of the Agreements between AIC and the Trust on behalf of its respective Fund, unanimously approved the renewal of the Agreement for another one year term.

The Board of Trustees in reviewing and approving the renewal of the Agreements were led by the Fund’s legal counsel in a discussion of the information and factors that should be considered by the Board to make an informed decision regarding the approval of the continuation of the Agreement.  The discussion surrounded the following material factors: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by AIC; (ii) the investment performance of the Fund; (iii) the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by AIC from the relationship with the Fund; (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if the Fund grow and whether advisory fee levels reflect those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors; and (v) AIC’s practices regarding possible conflicts of interest.   

AVONDALE CORE INVESTMENT FUND

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

OCTOBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

In assessing these factors and reaching its decisions, the Independent Trustees took into consideration information furnished for the Board’s review and consideration throughout the year at regular Board meetings, as well as information specifically prepared and/or presented by AIC pursuant to the Board’s request about the annual renewal process. The Board, requested and was provided information and reports relevant to the annual renewal of the Agreement, including: (i) reports regarding the services and organizational support provided to the Fund and its shareholders by AIC; (ii) quarterly assessments of the investment performance of the Fund by personnel of AIC; (iii) commentary on the Fund’s performance; (iv) presentations by the Fund’s portfolio manager of AIC’s investment philosophy, investment strategy, personnel and operations; (v) the Fund and AIC compliance and audit reports; (vi) disclosure information contained in the registration statement of the Trust and the Form ADV of AIC; and (vii) a memorandum from the Fund’s legal counsel, that summarized the fiduciary duties and responsibilities of the Board in reviewing and approving the Agreement, including the material factors and corresponding relevant information that should be considered by the Board in order to make an informed decision.  The Board also requested and received materials prepared by AIC (“AIC 15(c) Response”), including, without limitation: (i) documents containing information about AIC; (ii) a description of personnel and the services provided to each Fund; (iii) information on investment advice, performance; (iv) summaries of fund expenses, compliance program, current legal matters, and other general information; (v) comparative expense and performance information for other mutual funds with strategies similar to the Fund; (vi) the effect of the Fund’s size on its performance and expenses; (vii) benefits to be realized by AIC from its relationship with the Fund, and (viii) the Advisor’s practices regarding possible conflicts of interest.

The Independent Trustee did not identify any single piece of information that was most relevant to its consideration to approve the continuation of the Fund’s Management Services Agreement and each Independent Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors that are specifically required to be considered for purposes of disclosure in the Fund’s next set of financial statements.

Nature, Extent and Quality of the Services Provided by AIC.  In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by AIC, the Trustees reviewed the responsibilities of AIC under the Agreement. The Trustees reviewed the services being provided by AIC to the Fund including, without limitation: the quality of AIC investment advisory services (including research and recommendations with respect to portfolio securities) and assuring compliance with each Fund’s investment objectives and limitations, as well as for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements; its coordination of services for the Fund among the service providers and the Independent Trustees; and its efforts to promote the Fund and grow the Fund’s assets. The Trustees noted AIC’s continuity of, and commitment to retain and enhance, qualified personnel; and AIC’s continued cooperation with the Independent Trustees and Legal Counsel for the Fund. The Trustees noted that several of the officers of the Trust, including the principal executive officer and president for the Trust were employees of AIC, and they served the Trust without additional compensation. The Trustees noted the continued

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

OCTOBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

efforts of AIC in marketing the Fund and its continued desire to expand its reach through advisor representatives and the Avondale brand.  After reviewing the foregoing information and further information in the materials provided by AIC (including AIC’s Form ADV), the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by AIC were reasonable and consistent with the Board’s expectations and those set forth in the current and proposed Management Services Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund and AIC.  In considering the investment performance of the Fund and AIC, the Trustees compared the short and long-term performance of the Fund. The Trustees also considered the consistency of AIC’s management of the Fund with its commitment to the investment objectives and policies along with the overall performance of the Fund along with the materials which the Board has reviewed at each quarterly Board meeting throughout the year.  

Overall, the Trustees concluded that the performance of the Fund was acceptable, although the Trustees while monitoring the Fund’s performance against its benchmark and peer group they continue to encourage AIC to seek additional opportunities to expand the breadth of the portfolio’s investments in the market remaining consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies.

Costs of the Services to be provided and Profits to be Realized by AIC.  In considering the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by AIC from the relationship with the Fund, the Trustees considered: (1) AIC’s financial condition (as reported by the company) and the level of commitment to the Fund and by the principals of AIC; (2) AIC continued desire to increase asset levels of the Fund; (3) the overall low expenses of the Fund; (4) the nature and frequency of advisory fee payments; and (5) AIC’s desire to partner with other advisors seeking to secure new assets and establish new series under the Trust. The Trustees noted that the Fund’s advisory fees remain slightly higher than other funds, however, AIC reflects a desire to remain competitive in its desire to reduce the fees to the shareholders.  The Trustees concluded that given the relatively small asset levels of the Fund, it would be difficult for any adviser to operate the Fund at average cost levels and that AIC had put forth efforts to control the operating expenses of the Fund and increase the assets. The Trustees noted AIC’s continued efforts to manage the expenses of the Fund. The Board concluded that although Fund expenses were higher than peer averages, such expenses were justified and unavoidable given the complex regulatory requirements, and most importantly, the relatively small levels of assets in the Fund. Based on the foregoing, the Board concluded that the fees to be paid to AIC by the Fund were fair and reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of the services provided by AIC.

Economies of Scale.   The Board also considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether the level of the advisory fee reflects those economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders. In this regard, the Trustees considered AIC’s continued desire to increase the assets of the Fund, its continued efforts to maintain low fund expenses and its desire to attract new assets.

AVONDALE CORE INVESTMENT FUND

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

OCTOBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)

After considering these factors, the Board concluded that the fee level was satisfactory and adequate to reflect economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s shareholders if the Fund grew.

Advisor’s Practices Regarding Possible Conflicts of Interest and Benefits to the Adviser.  In considering AIC’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 AIC’s advisory personnel assigned to the Fund; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Fund and/or AIC’s other accounts; and the substance and administration of AIC’s code of ethics. Based on the foregoing, the Board determined that AIC’s standards and practices relating to the identification and mitigation of possible conflicts of interest were satisfactory.

Conclusion.  Having requested and received such information from the Adviser as the Independent Trustees of the Board of Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate renewing the Management Services Agreement, and as assisted by the advice of legal counsel, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that the overall arrangement provided under the terms of the Management Services Agreement was a reasonable business arrangement and that renewal of the Management Services Agreement was in the best interests of the Trust and the Fund’s shareholders.
