All Cap Core Fund
 
For the fiscal year ending July 31st, 2012, the All Cap Core Fund had an historically average year, with Class A shares returning 6.59% (without the effect of sales charges), Class C shares returning 5.86% and Class I shares returning 6.91%, while the Russell 3000® Index returned 7.33% and the S&P 500® Index returned 9.13% for the same period.
 
Over the course of the fiscal year, growth stocks led value stocks and large cap stocks significantly beat small cap stocks.  Because of the Fund’s emphasis on value and because the factors driving stock selection had a mixed year, the Fund underperformed slightly.  Several positions were strong detractors from performance, including Netflix Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co., whose returns were sharply negative for the year, and also Apple Inc., because we were underweight relative to the benchmark during its extremely strong year.  Performance was boosted, however, by several overweights to specialty retail stocks such as Home Depot Inc. and Gap Inc., which both did extremely well over the course of the year.
 
Based on our key factors of high yield, attractive valuation, and high momentum, the Fund was hurt by stock selection in the Telecommunication Services and Information Technology sectors.  The Fund was helped by stock selection in the Consumer Discretionary and Financial sectors.
 
Based on our historical research, the factors that we emphasize in the Fund should outperform over longer holding periods, but have shorter periods of time when they do not work.  We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive yields, valuations and momentum to outperform in the years to come.
 

Enhanced Dividend Fund
 
For the fiscal year ending July 31st, 2012, the Enhanced Dividend Fund was down moderately, with Class A shares returning -2.66% (without the effect of sales charges), Class C shares returning -3.37% and Class I shares returning -2.53%, while the MSCI All Country World Index returned -3.64% and the Russell 1000 Value® Index returned 7.64% for the same period.
 
Over the course of the fiscal year, large cap stocks significantly beat small cap stocks and U.S. stocks did much better than international stocks.  High yielding stocks also had a very strong year.  Because the Enhanced Dividend Fund emphasizes larger value stocks with high yields, the Fund outperformed the MSCI All Country World Index during the period.  But, because of its underweight to the U.S. and emphasis on international high yielding stocks, the Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Value® Index.
 
The Fund was helped by allocations to the Industrial and Health Care Sectors, with large overweights to stocks like Eli Lilly & Co. and Ryanair Holdings PLC, both of which did very well for the year.  The main detractor from performance was our allocation to the Financials sector.  There, stocks like Credit Suisse Group AG did very poorly in a period of economic uncertainty abroad.
 
Selecting securities based on high yield led to a very substantial overweight in the Telecommunications sector, with an average weight of 35.4% versus an average benchmark weight of just 4.7%.  Our allocation to the sector did help returns for the year and we continue to see strong opportunities in the sector.
 
Based on our historical research back to 1926, large cap, market-leading stocks with high dividend yields are very strong performers relative to the overall market in the long run.  We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive yields to outperform in the years to come.
 

Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
 
For the fiscal year ending July 31st, 2012, the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund had a weak year with Class A shares returning -5.73% (without the effect of sales charges) and Class I shares returning -5.41%, while the Russell 2500 Growth® Index returned -0.28% for the same period.
 
Over the course of the fiscal year, growth stocks led value stocks and large cap stocks significantly beat small cap stocks.  For the year, a simple rule of performance was that the larger the stock, the better the return.  Because

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund has a high exposure to smaller cap stocks with high momentum, it underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Growth® Index, by a significant margin.
 
Based on our key factors of reasonable valuation, strong earnings growth and strong momentum, the Fund was particularly hurt in the Health Care, Telecommunication Services and Industrial sectors, where stock selection was very weak and caused the majority of the Fund’s underperformance relative to the benchmark for the period.  In particular, positions in Netflix Inc. and Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. dragged on performance.  Both stocks had sharply negative returns during a period when the market was flat.  The main positive contribution to return came from the Information Technology sector due to holdings such as Liquidity Services Inc. and Tyler Technologies Inc.
 
Based on our historical research, the factors that we emphasize in the Fund should outperform over longer holding periods, but have shorter periods of time when they do not work.  We believe the key to success with this type of strategy is patience, and we expect stocks with attractive valuations and strong earnings and price momentum to outperform in the years to come.
 

 
Outlook
 
The fiscal year ending July 31st, 2012 was a very polarizing one for global markets.  While the U.S. stock market did quite well – in spite of a sluggish economy – international markets struggled because of weak economies and the fear of what the future holds.  As these fears about international economies and governments waxed and waned over the course of the year, so too did the markets associated with those economies or governments.  The stock market, in many ways, was a barometer for the level of fear and worry rather than a mechanism for pricing businesses – many of which continue to report record profits and high profit margins.  We believe that this trend should continue in the future.  There are no quick fixes for the problems facing the global economy, so the market will probably continue to react as it has in the last few years.  We believe that it is an especially important time to focus on buying quality companies with attractive prices.
 
Consumer sentiment remains weak and a survey of equity investor bullishness conducted by the American Association of Individual Investors shows that just 33% of those surveyed are bullish1.  Our research indicates that pessimistic consumer sentiment and bearish outlooks have helped to produce attractive equity prices and are, therefore, have been a good thing for those considering equity investments.  More importantly, we have also found that macroeconomic variables, such as GDP growth, unemployment, and tax rates, had little to no impact on stock returns over the following 1-5 year period.  More specifically, the only situation that we found to be somewhat predictive of future market performance is when macro-economic variables are at their worst.  These dire economic situations create fear, and fear has created low equity prices.  This is valuable information, as we anticipate seeing more negative economic data in the near-term future.  We suggest incrementally using any cash to buy stocks with cheap valuations, high yields, and/or strong momentum.  These are the type of securities we seek to own in the O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, the O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund, and the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund.

Expense Example
at July 31, 2012 (Unaudited)
 
Shareholders in mutual funds generally incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, redemption fees, and exchange fees, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (2/1/12 – 7/31/12).
 
Actual Expenses
For each class of each fund, two lines are presented in the tables below – the first line for each class provides information about actual account values and actual expenses, with actual net expenses being limited to 1.24% for Class A shares of the All Cap Core Fund and the Enhanced Dividend Fund, 1.44% for Class A shares of the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, 1.99% for Class C shares of the All Cap Core Fund and the Enhanced Dividend Fund, 0.99% for Class I shares of the All Cap Core Fund and the Enhanced Dividend Fund, and 1.19% for Class I shares of the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, per the operating expenses limitation agreement. In addition, you may be assessed a fee for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. The Example below includes, but is not limited to, management fees, fund accounting, custody and transfer agent fees. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” for your fund and class to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
For each class of each fund, the second line for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the respective fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.  Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the tables for each class of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds


Notes to Financial Statements
at July 31, 2012

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
 
The O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund (the “All Cap Core Fund”), O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund (the “Enhanced Dividend Fund”), and the O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund”) (together, the “Funds”) are each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Funds, which are all diversified funds, began operations on August 16, 2010. The investment objectives of the All Cap Core and Small/Mid Cap Growth Funds are to seek long-term capital appreciation and the investment objective of the Enhanced Dividend Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and income.
 
The All Cap Core Fund and the Enhanced Dividend Fund currently offer Class A shares, Class C shares and Class I shares. The Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund currently offers Class A shares and Class I shares. Class A shares may be subject to a 5.25% front-end sales load.  Class A shares do not have a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) except that a charge of 1% applies to certain redemptions made within twelve months, following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge.  Class C shares may be subject to a CDSC of 1% on redemptions held for one year or less after purchase.
 
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
A.
Security Valuation:  All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 3.
   
B.
Federal Income Taxes:  It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no Federal income or excise tax provision is required.
   
 
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on the Funds’ returns filed for open tax year 2011, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2012 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Wisconsin; however the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
   
C.
Security Transactions, Income and Distributions:  Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date.  Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
   
 
The All Cap Core Fund and the Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund distribute substantially all net investment income, if any, and net realized gains, if any, annually.  Effective July 1, 2012, the Enhanced Dividend Fund distributes substantially all net investment income, if any, monthly, and net realized gains, if any, annually.  The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment.
   
 
Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of a Fund based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expensed and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
 
Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to the Fund, such as investment advisory, custody, and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets.
   
D.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts:  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.
   
 
For the year ended July 31, 2012, the Funds made the following permanent tax adjustments on the statements of assets and liabilities:

 
     
Undistributed
   
Accumulated Net
       
     
Net Investment
   
Realized
       
     
Income/(Loss)
   
Gain/(Loss)

    8,981       666       (9,647 )
 
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
    (14 )     (111 )     125  
 
E.
Use of Estimates:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
F.
Redemption Fee:  The Funds charge a 2.00% redemption fee to shareholders who redeem shares held 90 days or less. Such fees are retained by the Funds and accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
   
 
During the year ended July 31, 2012, the Funds retained redemption fees as follows:
 
     
Class A
   
Class C
   
Class I
 
 
All Cap Core Fund
  $ 44     $ 169     $ 2,649

G.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End:  In preparing the financial statements as of July 31, 2012, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
 
NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION
 
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 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.

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION (Continued)
 
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s 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.
 
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.
 
Equity Securities:  The Funds’ investments are carried at fair value. Equity securities, including common stocks, convertible securities and preferred 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 securities which are not traded in the NASDAQ Global Market System shall be valued at the most recent sales price. 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 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or if the closing price doesn’t 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 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 July 31, 2012:

NOTE 3 – SECURITIES VALUATION (Continued)
 
New Accounting Pronouncements:  On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) modifying Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective by the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. Specifically, the ASU requires reporting entities to disclose i) the amounts of any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and the reasons for the transfers, ii) for Level 3 fair value measurements, a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation processes used by the reporting entity and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of the ASU is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. At this time, the Funds are evaluating the implications of this guidance and the impact it will have on the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.
 
In December 2011, FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11 related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. The Funds are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2011-11 will have on the financial statement disclosures.
 
NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
 
For the year ended July 31, 2012, O’Shaughnessy Asset Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) provided the Funds with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Advisor furnished all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Funds. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly. The All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund pay fees calculated at an annual rate of 0.55%, 0.65%, and 0.60%, respectively, based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund.  For the year ended July 31, 2012, the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund incurred $240,133, $134,523, and $40,661 in advisory fees, respectively.
 
Each Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by the Funds and to pay Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the aggregate annual operating expenses as follows:
 
   
Class A
 
Class C
 
Class I
All Cap Core Fund
    1.24%       1.99%       0.99%  
Enhanced Dividend Fund
    1.24%       1.99%       0.99%  
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
    1.44%       N/A       1.19%  
   
percent of average daily net assets
 
Any such reduction made by the Advisor in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Funds’ obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Funds to the Advisor, if so requested by the Advisor, in subsequent fiscal years if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Funds toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the applicable limitation on Funds’ expenses. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed only for fee reductions and expense payments made in the previous three fiscal years.  Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval at the time the reimbursement is made. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to the Funds’ payment of current ordinary operating expenses. For the year ended July 31, 2012, the Advisor reduced its fees in the amount of $206,727, $240,553, and $188,615 for the All Cap Core Fund, Enhanced Dividend Fund, and Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund, respectively.  No amounts were reimbursed to the Advisor.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS (Continued)
 
As of July 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
 
   
All Cap Core
   
Enhanced
   
Small/Mid Cap
 
   
Fund
   
Dividend Fund
   
Growth Fund
 
Cost of investments (a)
  $ 59,563,654     $ 30,921,418     $ 6,918,714

Total accumulated earnings/(losses)
  $ 3,457,651     $ (1,582,869 )   $ 364,144  
 
(a)
The difference between book-basis and tax-basis cost and net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales adjustments.
 
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”), net capital losses recognized after December 31, 2010, may be carried forward indefinitely, and their character is retained as short-term and/or long-term losses. Under the law in effect prior to the Act, preenactment net capital losses were carried forward for eight years and treated as short-term losses. As a transition rule, the Act requires that postenactment net capital losses be used before pre-enactment net capital losses.
 
At July 31, 2012, the Funds had capital loss carryforwards as follows:
 
    Short-Term Capital  
    Loss Carryforwards  
All Cap Core Fund
  $ 1,080,729    
Enhanced Dividend Fund
    57,387    
Small/Mid Cap Growth Fund
    179,627    
 
These tax capital losses may be carried forward indefinitely to offset future gains.
 
At July 31, 2012, the Funds deferred, on a tax basis, post-October losses of:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Trustees
Advisors Series Trust and
Shareholders of
O’Shaughnessy Mutual Funds
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund, and O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Fund, each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of July 31, 2012, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period August 16, 2010 (commencement of operations) to July 31, 2011.  These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.  The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2012, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of O’Shaughnessy All Cap Core Fund, O’Shaughnessy Enhanced Dividend Fund, and O’Shaughnessy Small/Mid Cap Fund as of July 31, 2012, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the change in their net assets and their financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period August 16, 2010 to July 31, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.  The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report.  The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee.  Ms. Sallie P. Diederich is the “audit committee financial expert” and is considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years.  “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.  “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit.  “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning.  There were no “other services” provided by the principal accountant.  The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.  The audit committee of the Board of Trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
