Note 1 – Securities Valuation

The PIA BBB Bond Fund, the PIA MBS Bond Fund, the PIA High Yield Fund, the PIA Moderate Duration Bond Fund and the PIA Short-Term Securities Fund’s (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) investments in securities are carried at their fair value.

Fixed income securities are valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes dealer-supplied valuations, reported trades and formula-based techniques.  The pricing service may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer.  Most fixed income securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Short-term securities having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.  Short-term securities which mature after 60 days are valued at market.  To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share and are typically categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Listed derivatives that are actively traded are valued based on quoted prices from the exchange and are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.  Credit default swaps are valued daily based upon quotations from market makers and are typically categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or if the closing price does not represent fair value, are valued following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (“Board”). These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events. Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, these securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Board has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee which is comprised of one or more trustees and representatives from U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ administrator.  The function of the Valuation Committee is to value securities where current and reliable market quotations are not readily available.  All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are reviewed and ratified by the Board.

The Funds have adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value.  These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for majority security types.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

·  
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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 relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and 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 those securities.  The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ securities as of August 31, 2012:
