Notes to the Schedule of Investments
February 28, 2017 (Unaudited)

Note 1 – Securities Valuation

The PIA BBB Bond Fund, the PIA MBS Bond Fund, the PIA High Yield 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.  The Funds determine the fair value of their investments and compute the net asset value per share of each Fund as of the close of regular trading on the New York stock exchange (4:00 pm EST).

Corporate Bonds – Corporate bonds, including listed issues, are valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations 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 corporate bonds are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign Securities – Foreign economies may differ from the U.S. economy and individual foreign companies may differ from domestic companies in the same industry.

Foreign companies or entities are frequently not subject to accounting and financial reporting standards applicable to domestic companies, and there may be less information available about foreign issuers.  Securities of foreign issuers are generally less liquid and more volatile than those of comparable domestic issuers.  There is frequently less government regulation of broker-dealers and issuers than in the United States.  In addition, investments in foreign countries are subject to the possibility of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability or diplomatic developments that could adversely affect the value of those investments.

All foreign securities owned by the BBB Bond Fund are U.S. dollar denominated.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities – Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are securities issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal.  These securities are normally valued by pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models.  The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, current market data and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available.  Mortgage- and asset-backed securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described above are categorized as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. Government Agency Securities – U.S. Government agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs.  Agency issued debt securities are generally valued in a manner similar to U.S. Government securities.  Mortgage pass-throughs include to-be-announced (“TBAs”) securities and mortgage pass-through certificates.  TBA securities and mortgage pass-throughs are generally valued using dealer quotations.  These securities are typically categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

U.S. Government Securities – U.S. Government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data.  Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations.  U.S. Government securities are typically categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Equity Securities – Equity securities, including common stocks, that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange shall be valued at the last sale price on the exchange on which they are primarily traded on the day of valuation or, if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Securities primarily traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If the NOCP is not available, such securities shall be valued at the last sale price on the day of valuation, or if there has been no sale on such day, at the mean between the bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter (“OTC”) securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the most recent sales price.  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.
 

Investment Companies – Investments in open-end mutual funds are valued at their net asset value per share.  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.

Short-Term Securities - Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices.  To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Illiquid Securities - A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market.  Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which the security is valued by the Fund.  Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value.  Each Fund intends to hold no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  As of February 28, 2017, the PIA High Yield Fund had investments in illiquid securities with a total value of $1,136,338 or 0.8% of total net assets.

Certain restricted securities may be considered illiquid.  Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and may be valued under methods approved by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”) as reflecting fair value.  Certain restricted securities eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, including Rule 144A securities, are not subject to the limitation on the Funds’ investment in illiquid securities if they are determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees.  As of February 28, 2017, Pacific Income Advisers, Inc. has determined that all the Rule 144A securities held by the Funds are considered liquid.

The Board has delegated day-to-day valuation issues to a Valuation Committee of the Trust which is comprised of 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 or the closing price does not represent fair value by following procedures approved by the Board.  These procedures consider many factors, including the type of security, size of holding, trading volume and news events.  All actions taken by the Valuation Committee are subsequently reviewed and ratified by the Board.

Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

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 February 28, 2017:

The change in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) for level 3 securities still held at February 28, 2017, and still classified as level 3 was ($35,316).

On March 10, 2015, the PIA High Yield Fund received a newly issued Liberty Tire Recycling Holdco, LLC (“Liberty Tire”) bond, due 2021 and common stock in exchange for the previously held Liberty Tire bond, due 2015.  This exchange was the result of a financial restructuring by Liberty Tire.  Since receipt of the newly issued securities, the Valuation Committee has fair valued the Liberty Tire bond, due 2021 utilizing a single broker quote and fair valued the common stock based on the residual value assigned to the newly issued common stock at the time of the exchange.  Beginning on August 2, 2016, a primary pricing source utilized by the Fund began providing a daily fair valuation for the Liberty Tire bond resulting in a transfer from level 3 to level 2.  The fair value of the Liberty Tire common stock continues to be based on significant unobservable inputs due to the lack of reliable market data, resulting in the security categorized as level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.  If the financial condition of Liberty Tire were to deteriorate, the value of the common stock would likely decrease.

On February 3, 2017 and February 8, 2017, the PIA High Yield Fund paid $124,224 and $330,973 in a subscription rights offering to purchase a second-lien convertible note of CHC Helicopter, due 2020, and shares of Modular Space Corp., respectively. At February 28, 2017, the note and shares had not been issued yet, so the securities were valued at cost.

The American Gilsonite bond, due 2021, was received in exchange for the previously held American Gilsonite bond, due 2017, in the reorganization of American Gilsonite. Since receipt of the newly issued security on January 5, 2017, the Valuation Committee has fair valued the bond, due 2021, utilizing a single broker quote.
 
At February 28, 2017, the Blue Virgo Trust bond was valued based on a single broker quote.
