Note 1 - Summary of Fair Value Measurements at June 30, 2017 (Unaudited)
   
     
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 major 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 Fund has 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 Shenkman Floating Rate High Income Fund and the Shenkman Short Duration High Income Fund's (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") investments in securities are carried at their fair value.  Each Fund computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00pm, EST).
 
Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
 
Bank Loan Obligations - Bank loan obligations are valued at market on the basis of valuations furnished by an independent pricing service which utilizes quotations obtained from dealers in bank loans.  These securities will generally be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Debt Securities – Debt securities, such as corporate bonds, asset backed securities, mortgage backed securities, municipal bonds, U.S. Treasuries and U.S. government agency 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.  In addition, the model may incorporate 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.   Debt securities having a maturity of 60 days or less are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked price.  These securities will generally be classified in Level 2 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 securities having a maturity of less than 60 days are valued at the evaluated mean between bid and asked price.  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 Funds' Board of Trustees ("Board") as reflecting fair value.  Each Fund intends to hold no more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.    
                 
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 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 the procedures adopted by the Funds' Board.    

 
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.  There can be no assurance that a Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.
                 
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 value securities may be classified in either Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
                 
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not 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  June 30, 2017:
