An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by any government agency. As with any mutual fund investment, the Funds returns and share price will fluctuate, and you may lose money by investing in the Fund. Below are some of the specific risks of investing in the Fund. <ul type="square"><li>Fixed Income Securities Risk. The value of the Fund may fluctuate based upon changes in interest rates and market conditions. As interest rates rise, the value of most income producing instruments decreases to adjust to price the market yields. Interest rate risk is greater for long-term debt securities than for short-term and floating rate securities. It is possible that an issuer of a security will become unable to meet its obligations. This risk is greater for securities that are rated below investment grade or that are unrated. </li> <li>High Yield Securities Risk. The Fund may be subject to greater levels of price volatility as a result of investing in high yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as junk bonds). The issuers of such bonds have a lower ability to make principal and interest payments. An economic downturn, a period of rising interest rates or increased price volatility could adversely affect the market for these securities, and reduce the number of buyers should the Fund need to sell these securities (liquidity risk). Should an issuer declare bankruptcy, the Fund could also lose its entire investment. When the Fund invests in foreign high yield bonds (including sovereign debt), it will be subject to additional risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. securities. These risks are described below under Foreign Securities Risk.</li> <li>Liquidity Risk. Illiquid securities in the Funds portfolio may reduce the Funds returns because the Fund may be unable to sell such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price. </li> <li>Dividend Strategy Risk. There can be no assurances that the advisor will be able to correctly anticipate the level of dividends that companies will pay in any given timeframe. If the advisors expectations as to potential dividends are wrong, the Funds performance may be adversely affected. The strategy also will expose the Fund to increased trading costs and potential for short-term capital losses or gains. </li> <li>Market Risk. The prices of securities held by the Fund may decline in response to certain events taking place around the world, including those directly involving the companies whose securities are owned by the Fund; conditions affecting the general economy; overall market changes; local, regional or global political, social or economic instability; and currency, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. The equity securities purchased by the Fund may involve large price swings and potential for loss. Investors in the Fund should have a long-term perspective and be able to tolerate potentially sharp declines in value. Investments such as junk bonds, reverse convertible notes and emerging market securities typically are more volatile than common stock or similar investments. The Fund may be subject to increased volatility as a result of these investments. </li> <li>Dividend Tax Risk. There can be no assurances that the dividends received by the Fund from its investments will consist of tax-advantaged qualifying dividends eligible for either the dividends-received deduction for corporate Fund shareholders that are otherwise eligible for such deduction or for treatment as qualified dividends eligible for long-term capital gain rates in respect of noncorporate Fund shareholders. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that dividends received by the Fund will continue to receive favorable tax treatment in future years. This favorable treatment, in the case of qualified dividends, is currently scheduled to expire for tax years beginning after December 31, 2012. </li> <li>Income Trust Risk. Investments in income trusts are subject to various risks related to the underlying operating companies controlled by such trusts, including dependence upon specialized management skills and the risk that such management may lack or have limited operating histories. When the Fund invests in oil royalty trusts, its return on the investment will be highly dependent on oil and gas prices, which can be highly volatile. Moreover, oil royalty trusts are subject to the risk that the underlying oil and gas reserves attributable to the royalty trust may be depleted. As a group, business trusts typically invest in a broad range of industries and therefore the related risks will vary depending on the underlying industry represented in the business trusts portfolio. </li> <li>Foreign Securities Risk. Investments in foreign securities may be affected by currency controls and exchange rates; different accounting, auditing, financial reporting, and legal standards and practices; expropriation; changes in tax policy; greater market volatility; differing securities market structures; higher transaction costs; and various administrative difficulties, such as delays in clearing and settling portfolio transactions or in receiving payment of dividends. These risks may be heightened in connection with investments in emerging or developing countries. </li> <li>Management Risk. The strategy used by the advisor may fail to produce the intended results, and you could lose money.</li> <li>Portfolio Turnover Risk. The Fund may, at times, have a portfolio turnover rate that is higher than other income funds. A higher portfolio turnover would result in correspondingly greater brokerage commission expenses and may result in the distribution to shareholders of additional capital gains for tax purposes. These factors may negatively affect the Funds performance.</li> <li>Preferred Stock Risk. Preferred stocks rated in the lowest categories of investment grade have speculative characteristics. Preferred stock generally is subject to risks associated with fixed income securities, including credit risk and sensitivity to interest rates. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances that have a negative impact on the issuer are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay the preferred stock obligations than is the case with higher grade securities. Preferred stock issuers, under certain conditions, may skip or defer dividend payments for long periods of time. As with common stock, preferred stock is subordinated to bonds and other debt instruments in any issuers capital structure in terms of priority to corporate income and liquidation payments, and therefore is subject to greater credit risk than those debt instruments. </li> <li>REIT Risk. To the extent that the Fund invests in companies that invest in real estate, such as REITs, the Fund may be subject to risk associated with the real estate market as a whole, such as taxation, regulations, and economic and political factors that negatively impact the real estate market, and with direct ownership of real estate, such as decrease in real estate values, overbuilding, environmental liabilities and increases in operating costs, interest rates and/or property taxes. </li> <li>Investment Company Securities Risk. When the Fund invests in other investment companies, including ETFs, it will indirectly bear its proportionate share of any fees and expenses payable directly by the other investment company. Therefore, the Fund will incur higher expenses, many of which may be duplicative. In addition, the Fund may be affected by losses of the underlying funds and the level of risk arising from the investment practices of the underlying funds (such as the use of leverage by the underlying funds). ETFs are subject to additional risks such as the fact that the ETFs shares may trade at a market price that is above or below its net asset value or an active market may not develop. Inverse and leveraged ETFs use investment techniques and financial instruments that may be considered aggressive, including the use of derivative transactions and short selling techniques. To the extent that the Fund invests in ETFs that invest in commodities, the demand and supply of these commodities may fluctuate widely. Commodity ETFs may use derivatives, which exposes them to further risks, including counterparty risk (i.e., the risk that the institution on the other side of their trade will default). </li> <li>Structured Notes Risk. Structured notes, such as reverse convertible notes, are subject to a number of fixed income risks including general market risk, interest rate risk, as well as the risk that the issuer on the note may fail to make interest and/or principal payments when due, or may default on its obligations entirely. In addition, as a result of imbedded derivative features in these securities, structured notes generally are subject to more risk than investing in a simple note or bond issued by the same issuer. </li> <li>Borrowing and Leverage Risk. Borrowing magnifies the potential for gain or loss by the Fund and, therefore increases the possibility of fluctuation in the Funds net asset value. This is the speculative factor known as leverage. Because the Funds investments will fluctuate in value, while the interest on borrowed amounts may be fixed, the Funds net asset value may tend to increase more as the value of its investments increases, or to decrease more as the value of its investments decreases, during times of borrowing. Unless profits on investments acquired with borrowed funds exceed the costs of borrowing, the use of borrowing will decrease the Funds investment performance. </li></ul> This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The investment objective of the IMS Capital Value Fund (the Value Fund or the Fund) is long-term growth from capital appreciation and, secondarily, income from dividends and interest. The Funds advisor, IMS Capital Management, Inc., has the flexibility to invest in a broad range of fixed income and equity securities that produce current income. The advisor allocates the Funds assets among different types of securities based on its assessment of potential risks and returns, and the advisor may change the weighting among securities as market conditions change, in an effort to obtain the most attractive combination of current income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. In pursuing its investment objectives, the Fund generally invests in corporate bonds, government bonds, dividend-paying common stocks, preferred and convertible preferred stocks, income trusts (including business trusts, oil royalty trusts and real estate investment trusts), money market instruments and cash equivalents. The Fund may also invest in structured products, such as reverse convertible notes, a type of structured note. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in dividend paying or other income producing securities. The Fund can invest in debt securities of any duration and maturity. The Fund considers investment-grade securities to be those rated BBB- or higher by Standard & Poors Corporation (S&P) or Baa3 or higher by Moodys Investor Services, Inc. (Moodys), or if unrated, determined by the Funds advisor to be of comparable quality, each at the time of purchase. The Fund may also invest up to 35% (measured at the time of purchase) of its assets in domestic high yield fixed income securities (junk bonds) of any duration and maturity. The Fund may continue to hold a security that later becomes illiquid. At times, the Funds position in illiquid securities will comprise a significant portion of the portfolio. Illiquid securities are subject to a number of risks which are discussed below. If market quotations for illiquid securities are not readily available, or are deemed unreliable by the Funds advisor, the security will be valued at a fair value determined in good faith by the advisor. There is no assurance that the Fund will receive fair valuation upon the sale of a security. The Fund may invest up to 35% (measured at the time of purchase) of its assets in foreign equity and debt securities that pay dividends or interest, including foreign debt securities and foreign sovereign debt of any duration, quality and maturity, as well as securities of issuers located in emerging markets. The Funds advisor seeks to invest in debt securities it expects will have a high yield to maturity or dividend yield relative to potential price volatility, such as securities of an issuer which the adviser believes have a stable or improving financial condition with a higher than average yield for its asset class, or securities that the adviser expects will continue to pay dividends and increase in price. The Fund may hold a substantial portion of its assets in high yield bonds rated below investment grade (commonly known as junk bonds). Because the Fund is strategic and has the ability to invest across multiple bond sectors when it finds opportunities, the Fund could have up to 70% of its assets in high yield bonds. This could only be accomplished if the Fund chose to hold the maximum allowed percentage in U.S. high yield bonds, 35%, and chose to hold the maximum percentage in foreign bonds, 35%, and chose to hold all of that 35% in foreign high yield bonds, without owning any foreign investment grade bonds. These limits are measured at the time of purchase and subsequently could increase as a result of shareholder activity or market fluctuation. In this event, the Fund would not be required to sell portfolio securities. The Fund considers high yield bonds to be debt securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poors Corporation or Baa3 by Moodys Investor Services, Inc. or, if unrated, determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality, each as determined as of the time of purchase. These bonds are subject to a number of risks which can be significant. The Fund typically will sell a portfolio security if any of the following occur: (1) the security price exceeds the advisors target sell price; (2) market conditions or the issuers financial condition threaten the securitys price or coupon/dividend payment; or (3) the Funds adviser identifies a security it deems more attractive or better suited to achieving the Funds investment objective. Subject to the limitations described above, the Fund may pursue its investment objective directly or indirectly through investments in other investment companies (including ETFs, and open-end and closed-end mutual funds) that invest in the securities described above. As a result of the advisors overall strategy, the Fund engages in active trading of portfolio securities which causes the Fund to experience a high portfolio turnover rate.

The Funds advisor, IMS Capital Management, employs a selection process designed to include small-, mid- and large-cap companies with dividend yields and dividend growth rates that exceed the average of the S&P 500 Index. The Fund may invest in both growth and value stocks, as well as international dividend-paying stocks and real estate investment trusts (REITs). The Funds assets are typically allocated among several equity asset classes, investment styles and market capitalizations based on the advisors assessment of the relative opportunities and risks related with each category. In selecting the Funds investments, the advisor employs a combination of fundamental, technical and macro market research to identify companies that the advisor believes have the ability to maintain or increase their dividend payments, because of their low debt, high return on equity and significant cash flow production. Individual securities are selected based on the advisors assessment of capital appreciation potential and expected dividend payments. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in securities of companies that pay regular dividends. Payments by REITs will be counted as dividends for this purpose even if such payments do not qualify as dividends for federal income tax purposes. Equity securities in which the Fund may invest include common stocks, preferred stocks, convertible preferred stocks, and equity REITs, which typically will trade on a U.S. national securities exchange. The Fund may also invest up to 35% (measured at the time of purchase) of its assets in foreign equity securities, including securities of companies located in emerging markets. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities other than dividend-paying common stocks, such as common stock of any market capitalization, corporate bonds, money market mutual funds or investment grade, short-term money market instruments, including U.S. Government and agency securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements and other cash equivalents. Subject to the limitations described above, the Fund may pursue its investment objective directly or indirectly through investments in other investment companies (including ETFs, and open-end and closed-end mutual funds) that invest in the securities described above.

With respect to both mid-cap and large-cap stocks, the Funds advisor, IMS Capital Management, Inc., employs a selection process designed to produce a diversified portfolio of companies exhibiting both value and positive momentum characteristics. Value characteristics include a historically low stock price, as well as historically low fundamental ratios such as price to earnings, price to sales, price to book value and price to cash flow. Positive momentum characteristics include positive earnings revisions, positive earnings surprises, relative price strength and other developments that may favorably affect a companys stock price, such as a new product or change in management. The advisor seeks to reduce risk through diversification and through the ownership of undervalued companies, which may be less volatile than overpriced companies whose fundamentals do not support their valuations. The Fund typically invests in mid-cap securities, which the advisor defines as those with a market capitalization of approximately $2 billion to $11 billion, and in large-cap securities, which the advisor defines as those with a market capitalization of greater than $11 billion. The advisor generally seeks companies that the advisor believes are well-capitalized, globally diversified, and that have the resources to weather negative business conditions successfully. Most stocks in the Funds portfolio fall into one of the advisors seven strategic focus areas: healthcare, technology, financial services, communications/entertainment, consumer, consolidating industries and industries that, in the past, have declined less than others during general market declines. The advisor believes that stocks in these focus areas have the potential to produce superior long-term returns. In addition, the advisor carefully diversifies the Funds holdings to ensure representation in all ten major broad-based industry sectors as defined by Standard & Poors, Inc. Although the Fund intends to be invested primarily in mid-cap and large-cap stocks as described above, the Fund may also invest in common stocks of any capitalization. The Fund may pursue its investment objective directly or indirectly through investments in other investment companies (including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and open-end and closed-end mutual funds) that invest in the securities described above. The Fund typically will sell a portfolio company if both of the following occur: (1) a companys stock price exceeds the advisors target sell price and (2) the company demonstrates that it may be losing positive momentum as described above. The Fund also could sell a portfolio company earlier if the adviser believes that the companys stock price may not reach the advisors target sell price due to a material event, such as major industry-wide change, a significant change in the companys management or direction, the emergence of a better opportunity within the same industry, or if the company becomes involved in a merger or acquisition. The Value Funds primary objective is capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its secondary objective of income by investing in dividend-paying stocks and seeking to earn interest on cash balances invested in money market funds. As a result of the advisors overall strategy, the Fund engages in active trading of portfolio securities which causes the Fund to experience a high portfolio turnover rate. -0.2503 0.3245 0.1308 Principal Risks After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal income tax rates in effect and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes.
