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

1 Year
3 Years
5 Years
10 Years
$ 155
$ 480
$ 829
$1,813

Portfolio Turnover
The Fixed Income Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fixed Income Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in Annual Fund Operating Expenses or in the Example, affect the Fixed Income Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fixed Income Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 55% of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES OF THE FIXED INCOME FUND

The Fixed Income Fund invests principally in a diversified portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities that are believed to generate a high level of current income. The Fixed Income Fund normally invests in investment grade fixed income securities consisting primarily of obligations issued by the U.S. Government, agencies of the U.S. Government, instruments related to U.S. Government securities and U.S. corporate debt securities. The Fund's investment adviser, Cutler Investment Counsel, LLC (the "Adviser") considers these types of securities to be the Fixed Income Fund's core holdings. In seeking to meet its investment objective, the Fixed Income Fund expects that under normal conditions at least 80% of its assets will be invested in fixed income securities. For purposes of this policy, "assets" shall mean net assets plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes (although the Fixed Income Fund is not currently permitted to do so).
 
An investment grade security is one which is rated investment grade by either Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") or Fitch Ratings Ltd. ("Fitch"), or an unrated security that the Adviser believes to be of comparable quality. The Fixed Income Fund may invest in:

United States Treasury obligations, including T-bills, notes, bonds, inflation-indexed bonds and other debt obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury, and obligations of U.S. Government Agencies that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Such U.S. Government Agencies include the Private Export Funding Corporation, Overseas Private Investment Corporation, Small Business

Administration, Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Department of Housing and Urban Development and U.S. Maritime Administration.
 
Securities issued or guaranteed by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. Government, but not explicitly backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. These include the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), Federal Farm Credit Banks, Tennessee Valley Authority, and Federal Home Loan Bank.
 
Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities. Mortgage-backed securities are obligations representing an undivided interest in, or collateralized by, pools of mortgages. These obligations, in effect, "pass-through" the monthly interest and principal payments (including prepayments) made by the individual borrowers on the pooled mortgage loans to the holders of the securities. U.S. Government agency mortgage-backed issues include securities issued by GNMA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. GNMA securities are guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest (but not as to price and yield) by the U.S. Government, while Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac securities are guaranteed only by the issuing agency. The Fixed Income Fund may also invest in corporate mortgage-backed securities or other asset-backed securities that have an investment grade rating. Asset-backed securities represent a group of assets that are combined or pooled for sale to investors and may be backed by receivables such as credit card, auto and student loans.
 
U.S. corporate debt securities (obligations of a corporation to pay interest and repay principal). They include commercial paper, notes, bonds and debentures.

The Adviser's primary focus is on individual security selection, rather than attempting to anticipate major interest rate moves. The Adviser uses a value-oriented buy discipline to identify securities that are believed to offer a yield advantage over others of similar quality or to exhibit stable or improving credit quality that may be unrecognized by other investors. Portfolio securities may be sold when price appreciation causes a security to lose its yield advantage, or when credit quality begins to deteriorate. In the event the rating of a fixed income security held by the Fixed Income Fund is reduced below investment grade, the Adviser is not required to sell the security, but will consider this event in its determination of whether the Fund should continue to hold such security.

To increase the Fixed Income Fund's income potential, the Adviser may invest any amount it deems desirable in each of the various types of fixed income securities, and adjust the investment ratios from time to time, so long as the Fund remains diversified. There is no set average maturity for the portfolio. The Fixed Income Fund allocates its assets among different types of securities and maturities based upon the Adviser's view of the relative value of each security or maturity. The Adviser may respond to changing market and other conditions by adjusting the type of securities held by the Fixed Income Fund and its average portfolio maturity. The Fixed Income Fund may invest in either fixed rate or variable rate debt securities.

PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FIXED INCOME FUND

All investments made by the Fixed Income Fund have some risk. There is no assurance that the Fixed Income Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fixed Income Fund's net asset value and total return will fluctuate based upon changes in the value of its portfolio securities. Upon redemption, an investment in the Fixed Income Fund may be worth less than its original cost. The Fixed Income Fund, by itself, does not provide a complete investment program.

Management Risk
Because the Fixed Income Fund is actively managed, it is subject to the risk that the investment strategies, techniques and risk analyses employed by the Adviser may not produce the desired results. Poor security selection and/or investments that have unfavorable portfolio maturities could cause the Fixed Income Fund's return to be lower than anticipated. Current income may be significant or very little, depending upon the Adviser's portfolio selections for the Fixed Income Fund.

Fixed Income Securities Risk
 
Interest Rate Risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall and when interest rates fall, bond prices generally rise. In an environment of relatively low interest rates, the risk that fixed income prices may fall is potentially greater. Interest rate risk increases as average maturity increases. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a fixed income security to decline, resulting in a price decline for the Fixed Income Fund. Thus, when the Fixed Income Fund emphasizes securities with longer maturities, you are exposed to greater interest rate risk. All income-oriented securities, even those of highest quality, are subject to some degree of interest rate risk.
 
Credit Risk. Credit risk is associated with a borrower's ability to pay interest and principal when due. A borrower's inability to make its payment obligations could result in a significant loss of income, causing the Fixed Income Fund's price to decline. Credit risk increases as overall portfolio quality decreases. Thus, when the Fixed Income Fund invests in lower-quality securities, you are exposed to increased credit risk.
 
Call Risk. Call risk for corporate bonds is the possibility that borrowers will prepay their debt prior to the scheduled maturity date, resulting in the probability of reinvesting the proceeds at lower interest rates. If interest rates decline when the Fixed Income Fund is emphasizing longer maturing securities, you are exposed to greater call risk because issuers of callable bonds are more likely to pay off their bonds before the maturity date. This may cause a reduction of income to the Fixed Income Fund.
 
Liquidity Risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a bond could not be sold at an advantageous time or price due to limited market demand. If a bond is downgraded or drops in price, or if adverse conditions exist within the bond market, the demand for a bond may be limited, making that bond difficult to sell.

In summary, but not inclusive of all possible risks, you could lose money on your investment in the Fixed Income Fund, or the Fund could underperform other investments, if any of the following occurs:
 
Interest rates rise
 
A borrower is unable to pay interest or principal when due
 
The fixed income market becomes illiquid
 
The stock market goes down
 
The Adviser's judgment as to the direction of interest rates or the attributes of the Fixed Income Fund's securities proves to be mistaken

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

The bar chart and performance table that follow provide some indication of the risks and variability of investing in the Fixed Income Fund by showing the changes in the Fund's performance from year to year for the last ten calendar years, and by showing how the Fund's average annual total returns for 1, 5 and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. The Fixed Income Fund is the successor to The Elite Income Fund (the "Predecessor Fund"), a mutual fund which had substantially similar investment objectives, strategies and policies. The performance provided in the bar chart and performance table that follow includes that of the Predecessor Fund for periods prior to September 28, 2012. For certain periods, performance has been positively impacted by expense reimbursements made by the investment adviser of the Predecessor Fund. How the Fixed Income Fund and the Predecessor Fund have performed in the past is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

TAX INFORMATION

The Fund's distributions are generally taxed as ordinary income or capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or an IRA. If you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, you may be taxed later upon withdrawal of monies from such arrangement.

PAYMENTS TO BROKER-DEALERS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services.

Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
