NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS
September 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
 
1.   Securities Valuation

Portfolio securities of Cutler Equity Fund and Cutler Fixed Income Fund (the "Funds") are valued as of the close of business of the regular session of the principal exchange where the security is traded. Exchange traded securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued using the last reported sales price provided by independent pricing services as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each Fund business day. In the absence of a sale, such securities are valued at the mean of the last bid and asked price. Securities which are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Non-exchange traded securities for which over-the-counter quotations are available are generally valued at the closing bid price. Investments in shares of other open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value per share.

The Funds value securities at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees if (1) market quotations are insufficient or not readily available or (2) the Funds' investment adviser believes that the prices or values available are unreliable due to, among other things, the occurrence of events after the close of the securities markets on which the Funds' securities primarily trade but before the time as of which the Funds calculate their net asset values. Fair valued securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see below), depending on the inputs used.

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") establish a single authoritative definition of fair value, set out a framework for measuring fair value and require additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

· Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
· Level 2 – other significant observable inputs
· Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs

Fixed income securities held by Cutler Fixed Income Fund are classified as Level 2 since the values for the fixed income securities are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various "other significant observable inputs" including bid and ask quotations, prices of similar securities and interest rates, among other factors.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund's investments as of September 30, 2014 by security type:

Refer to each Fund's Schedule of Investments for a listing of the securities by security type and sector or industry type. As of September 30, 2014, the Funds did not have any transfers in and out of any Level. There were no Level 3 securities or derivative instruments held by the Funds as of September 30, 2014. It is the Funds' policy to recognize transfers into and out of any Level at the end of the reporting period.

2.   Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the Schedule of Investments cost for Cutler Equity Fund is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains and losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These "book/tax" differences are temporary in nature and are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Item 2. Controls and Procedures.

(b) There were no changes in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the registrant's last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
