Annual Report

SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds

May 17, 2013

Dear Fellow Shareholder:

We are pleased to present our combined annual report for the SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund (NASDAQ: SDDAX, SDDCX) and the SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund (NASDAQ: SDEAX, SDECX) for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013. At the end of the period, the combined net asset value of the Funds was $57.3 million.

The SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds seek to provide investors with a combination of current income generation, long-term capital preservation, and potential growth opportunities within an appropriate risk and portfolio positioning framework. Each Fund is an actively managed combination primarily of ETFs, allowing for efficient diversification through dynamic allocation. While both Funds hold the same securities, the individual Fund’s specific risk management, risk positioning, and Fund positioning across asset classes, style, sectors, size, industry, country, quality and maturity, are driven by the overall strategy for each of the Funds. The Diversified Income Fund emphasizes growth of income, with some long-term capital appreciation, while the Equity Income Fund focuses on long-term capital appreciation, with some growth of income. Both Funds seek to benefit from the income bias inherent in our investment philosophy.

Through a disciplined and methodical investment process, SiM has established a long-term approach to ascertain value within the asset allocation and high yield markets - while ever cognizant of the importance of income as a component of total return. Combining a high quality, focused and experienced team with proven investment approaches provides the foundation for achieving long-term client objectives.

For the one year fiscal period ended April 30, 2013, stocks significantly outperformed bonds, as measured by the Russell 3000® Index (+17.21%) and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index (+3.68%). On an absolute basis, within our Dynamic Allocation Funds’ equity holdings, Value stocks outperformed Growth, while International Emerging Market returns lagged those of the Developed Markets. Within fixed income, our High Yield and Emerging Market Bond holdings led the other asset classes. Our Real Estate Investment Trust (REITs) asset classes, both mortgage-backed and equity, also contributed to positive performance for the period. Following are specific contributors and detractors from individual Fund relative performance.

SiM Diversified Income Fund

One Year Fiscal Period ended April 30, 2013

The Diversified Income Fund’s overweight exposure to High Yield Bonds was a primary contributor to relative performance, as this asset class significantly outperformed the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index for the period. The Fund’s overweighting of Mortgage-Backed REITs and the structural use of this asset class as a Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)/fixed income substitute was also favorable, as these holdings provided attractive returns, especially versus other fixed-income asset classes for the fiscal year. Preferred Securities added to relative outperformance with returns that outpaced the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index.

The Fund ended the period with a general composition of 62% Fixed-Income, 10% Income REITs, 8% Income Hybrids, and 20% Equities, diversified across more than 30 individual asset classes. We continue to position the Fund in accordance with the below listed themes, as guided by our proprietary Economic and Investment Outlook.

SiM Equity Income Fund

One Year Fiscal Period ended April 30, 2013

The Equity Income Fund’s overweight exposure to High Yield Bonds was a primary contributor to relative performance, as this asset class significantly outperformed the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index for the period. The Fund’s overweighting of Mortgage-Backed REITs and the structural use of this asset class as a Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)/fixed income substitute was also favorable, as these holdings provided attractive returns, especially versus other fixed-income asset classes for the fiscal year. The Fund’s underweight exposure to Large Cap Growth securities was also favorable, as this asset class underperformed the broad equity market as measured by the Russell 3000® Index.

On the other hand, the Fund’s tactical overweight positioning in cash hindered Fund performance for the period. The Fund’s underweight exposure to International Developed Market securities was also a detractor, as this asset class outperformed the U.S. broad equity market as measured by the Russell 3000® Index. The Fund’s overweighting of Emerging Market stocks hurt performance as well, with returns of this asset class lagging those of both the U.S. broad equity market and International Developed Markets as measured by the Russell 3000® Index and the MSCI EAFE Index.

The Fund ended the period with a general composition of 12% Fixed-Income, 11% Income REITs, 5% Income Hybrids, and 72% Equities, diversified across more than 30 asset classes. We continue to position the Fund in accordance with the below listed themes, as guided by our proprietary Economic and Investment Outlook.

Positioning Themes as Guided by Economic and Investment Outlook

SiM’s proprietary Economic and Investment Outlook is our independent assessment of U.S. and global growth and inflation factors and how they should affect global capital markets for the coming period. In 2013 we see economic growth surprising on the upside, both in the U.S. and globally, in the range of 3-3.5%, despite low expectations and ingrained skepticism. We believe that labor market slack, structural cost constraints, and this expected moderate growth level will continue to support a low inflation environment despite global easing and

SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds

renewed growth. We also believe that strong corporate fundamentals, fair relative valuations, and investor fears/risk aversion favor spread product and equity risk and should provide a good environment for investing over the next year.

•

Overweight Equity – primarily through domestic holdings, but we have recently increased the Emerging Market/BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, China) overweight positioning and reduced the International Developed Markets underweight exposure

•

Underweight Fixed-Income – primarily through avoiding U.S. Treasuries, although we maintain a significant spread product overweight in Corporates/High Yield

•

SiM Structural Yield Bias and Valuations – continued to drive REIT, Preferred, Convertible and Utility exposures

•

Recently reduced the Mortgage-Backed REIT holdings while increasing Agency Mortgage-Backed securities; also took some profits in High Yield, while maintaining our important long-term structural exposures to Preferreds, Convertibles, and High Yield

•

Key Structural Portfolio Tilts – High Yield overweight within fixed-income; use of Mortgage-Backed REITs as Mortgage-Backed securities/fixed-income substitute; Emerging Market/BRICs overweight, Developed Markets underweight; domestic Small/Mid equity bias

•

Defensively Bullish Equity Sector Allocations – Technology, Health Care, recently swapped Consumer Staples overweight for Utility overweight as Utilities exhibit historically attractive valuations, defensive characteristics, and meaningful yield; slightly underweight Banks (moving to Neutral) yet meaningful Financial exposure via Preferreds

Conclusion

We expect continued market volatility, even as the economy shows signs of improvement. This volatility should create opportunities for investors to acquire equities and other holdings at favorable valuations. In light of this outlook, we believe the Funds are positioned appropriately to attempt to take advantage of the market conditions described above.

The SiM team will continue to diligently monitor both economic and market events, and seek to position the Funds in accordance with our proprietary long-term strategic outlook utilizing our near-term selective tactical tilts.

Sincerely,

Randy Yoakum, CFA

SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Because the Funds are “fund of funds,” an investor will indirectly bear the principal risks of the underlying funds, including but not limited to, risks associated with smaller companies, foreign securities, emerging markets, high yield bonds, fixed income investments and commodities. Each of the Funds will bear its share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds. Shareholders will pay higher expenses than would be the case if making direct investments in the underlying funds. Because the Funds invest in ETFs and ETNs, they are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s or ETN’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Funds in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. The Funds’ investments in REITs will be subject to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate. Diversification does not assure a profit or protect against a loss in a declining market.

Morningstar Conservative Allocation: Conservative-allocation portfolios seek to provide both capital appreciation and income by investing in three major areas: stocks, bonds, and cash. These portfolios tend to hold smaller positions in stocks than moderate-allocation portfolios. These portfolios typically have 20% to 50% of assets in equities and 50% to 80% of assets in fixed income and cash.

Morningstar Aggressive Allocation: Aggressive-allocation portfolios seek to provide both capital appreciation and income by investing in three major areas: stocks, bonds, and cash. These portfolios tend to hold larger positions in stocks than moderate-allocation portfolios. These portfolios typically have 70% to 90% of assets in equities and the remainder in fixed income and cash.

An investment cannot be made directly in an index.

Expense Example

at April 30, 2013 (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 (11/1/12 – 4/30/13).

Actual Expenses

For each class of the SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund (“Diversified Income Fund”) and SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund (“Equity Income 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 1.35% for Class A shares and 2.10% for Class C shares of each 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. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example below. 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.

SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

at April 30, 2013

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund (the “Diversified Income Fund”) and the SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund (the “Equity Income Fund”) (together, the “Funds”) are each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Funds, which are all diversified funds, began operations on June 21, 2011. The investment objective of the Diversified Income Fund is to seek to provide total return, consisting primarily of growth of income with some long-term capital appreciation. The Equity Income Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide total return, consisting primarily of long-term capital appreciation with growth of income.

Each Fund currently offers Class A and Class C shares. Class A shares of the Diversified Income Fund are subject to a maximum sales load of 3.75% while the Class A shares of the Equity Income Fund are subject to a maximum sales load of 5.50%. The sales load charged decreases depending on the amount invested. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent, will assess Class C redemptions a 1% Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on shares redeemed within twelve months of 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 fair value, as described in note 3.

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 returns filed for open tax year 2012, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2013 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.

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, income and capital gain distributions from underlying funds, and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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.

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.

The Diversified Income Fund distributes substantially all net investment income monthly while the Equity Income Fund distributes its net investment income annually. Each Fund distributes substantially all of its 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

SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

at April 30, 2013

book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment.

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.

REITs: The Funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon funds available from operations. It is quite common for these dividends to exceed the REIT’s taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. The Funds intend to include the gross dividends from such REITs in their annual distributions to its shareholders and, accordingly, a portion of the Funds’ distributions may also be designated as a return of capital.

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.

	Undistributed
	Net Investment	Accumulated Net
	Income	Realized Gain	Paid-in Capital
Diversified Income Fund	$ 9,798	$ (9,817)	$ 19
Equity Income Fund	(1,430)	141,353	(139,923)

G.	Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of April 30, 2013, 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.

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, REITs, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds, that are primarily traded on a national securities exchange

SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds

at April 30, 2013

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. 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.

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. 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.

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.

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 April 30, 2013:

Refer to the Funds’ Schedule of Investments for a detailed break-out of securities. Transfers between levels are recognized at April 30, 2013, the end of the reporting period. The Funds recognized no transfers to/from level 1 or level 2. There were no level 3 securities held in the Funds during the year ended April 30, 2013.

New Accounting Pronouncement: In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01 Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. This update gives additional clarification to the FASB ASU No. 2011-11 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 2013-01 will have on the financial statement disclosures.

NOTE 4 – INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

For the year ended April 30, 2013, Strategic Income Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) provided the Funds with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement. The Adviser furnished all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Funds. As compensation for its services, the Adviser is entitled to a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% based upon the average daily net assets of each Fund. For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Diversified Income Fund and the Equity Income Fund incurred $103,402 and $244,344 in advisory fees, respectively.

Each Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Adviser 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 (excluding Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, interest, taxes, and extraordinary expenses) to 1.35% and 2.10% for Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

Any such reduction made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are the Funds’ obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Funds to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, 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 Adviser 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 April 30, 2013, the Adviser reduced its fees in the amount of $189,516 and $142,818 for the Diversified Income Fund and the Equity Income Fund, respectively. No amounts were reimbursed to the Adviser.

The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Trustees; monitors the activities of the Funds’ custodian, transfer agent and accountants; coordinates the preparation and payment of the Funds’ expenses and reviews the Funds’ expense accruals. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC also serves as the fund accountant and transfer agent to the Funds. U.S. Bank N.A., an affiliate of U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, serves as the Funds’ custodian.

For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Funds incurred the following expenses for administration, fund accounting, transfer agency, custody, and Chief Compliance Officer fees:

	Diversified	Equity

Transfer Agency (excludes out-of-pocket expenses and sub-ta fees)	6,436	6,857
Custody	1,467	2,390
Chief Compliance Officer	1,500	1,500

Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Administrator.

Certain officers of the Funds are employees of the Administrator.

NOTE 5 – DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND PLAN

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 (the “Plan”). The Plan permits the Funds to pay for distribution and related expenses at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Class A shares and up to 1.00% of each Fund’s Class C shares. The expenses covered by the Plan may include the cost in connection with the promotion and distribution of shares and the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, and the printing and mailing of sales literature. Payments made pursuant to the Plan will represent compensation for distribution and service activities, not reimbursements for specific expenses incurred. For the year ended April 30, 2013, the Funds paid the Distributor as follows:

	Class A	Class C
Diversified Income Fund	$31,482	$11,942
Equity Income Fund	78,939	10,036

NOTE 6 – PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

For the year ended April 30, 2013, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of securities, including the transfer of securities from the SiM Balanced Income Fund and excluding short-term securities, were as follows:

	Cost of Purchases	Proceeds from Sales
Diversified Income Fund	$ 8,420,277	$3,324,192
Equity Income Fund	16,073,975	6,340,176

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Net investment income/(loss) and net realized gains/(losses) can differ for financial statement and tax purposes due to differing treatments of wash sale losses deferred.

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended April 30, 2013 and the period ended April 30, 2012 was as follows:

	Year Ended				Period Ended
	April 30, 2013				April 30, 2012
	Ordinary		Long-Term		Ordinary		Long-Term
	Income		Capital Gains		Income		Capital Gains
Diversified Income Fund	$	420,782	$	166,287	$	209,476	$	4,007
Equity Income Fund		592,905		317,690		181,127		—

As of April 30, 2013, the components of capital on a tax basis were as follows:

	Diversified			Equity
	Income Fund			Income Fund
Cost of investments	$	16,823,574		$	33,070,605
Gross unrealized appreciation		1,356,239			6,864,930
Gross unrealized depreciation		(33,191	)		(93,138	)
Net unrealized appreciation		1,323,048			6,771,792
Undistributed ordinary income		—			64,287
Undistributed long-term capital gain		168,758			58,406
Total distributable earnings		168,758			122,693
Other accumulated gains/(losses)		(14,380	)		—
Total accumulated earnings/(losses)	$	1,477,426		$	6,894,485

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sale adjustments.

NOTE 8 – FUND REORGANIZATION

On June 12, 2012, the Board of Trustees of Advisors Series Trust approved a plan of reorganization (the “Reorganization”) whereby the SiM Dynamic Allocation Balanced Income Fund (“Balanced Income Fund”) would merge into the Equity Income Fund. The reorganization was effective as of the close of business on August 24, 2012.

SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

The reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 937,491 and 46,045 shares of the Balanced Income Fund’s Class A and Class C, respectively, for 923,994 and 45,531 shares of the Equity Income Fund’s Class A and Class C, respectively. At the close of business on August 24, 2012, the net assets of the Balanced Income Fund’s Class A and Class C were $9,698,197 and $474,316, respectively, and the net assets of the Equity Income Fund’s Class A and Class C were $23,745,969 and $550,094. After the reorganization, the net assets of the Equity Income Fund’s Class A and Class C were $33,444,166 and $1,024,410, respectively.

The total net assets of the Balanced Income Fund of $10,172,513 included $136,718 of accumulated realized gains and $640,198 of unrealized appreciation. Assuming the reorganization had been completed on May 1, 2012, the beginning of the annual reporting period for the SiM Funds, the pro forma results of operations (unaudited) for the year ended April 30, 2013, would have been as follows:

	Equity
	Income Fund
Net investment income	$	543,898
Net realized gain on investments		228,935
Change in unrealized appreciation on investments		3,985,939
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations	$	4,758,772

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings for the Balanced Income Fund that have been included in the Equity Income Fund's statement of operations since August 24, 2012.

Shareholders of

SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund

SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund and SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund, each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of April 30, 2013, 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 the period June 21, 2011 (commencement of operations) to April 30, 2012. 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 April 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 the above mentioned series of the Advisor Series Trust, as of April 30, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets and its financial highlights for the year then ended and the period June 21, 2011 to April 30, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

3	Mr. Redwine is an “interested person” of the Trust as defined by the 1940 Act. Mr. Redwine is an interested Trustee of the Trust by virtue of the fact that he is an interested person of Quasar Distributors, LLC who acts as principal underwriter to the series of the Trust.

Householding

In an effort to decrease costs, the Funds intend to reduce the number of duplicate prospectuses, annual and semi-annual reports, proxy statements and other similar documents you receive by sending only one copy of each to those addresses shared by two or more accounts and to shareholders the Transfer Agent reasonably believes are from the same family or household. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 1-855-746-3863 to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Transfer Agent receives notice to stop householding, the Transfer Agent will begin sending individual copies thirty days after receiving your request. This policy does not apply to account statements.

SiM Dynamic Allocation Funds

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement (Unaudited)

SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund

SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund

At a meeting held on December 4-6, 2012, the Board, including all the persons who are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, considered and approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund and the SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund (the “Funds”) with Strategic Income Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) for another annual term. At this meeting, and at a prior meeting held on October 24-25, 2012, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Adviser and the services provided by the Adviser to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations. Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s continuance of the Advisory Agreement:

THE NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF THE SERVICES PROVIDED AND TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISER UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT. The Board considered the Adviser’s specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Adviser involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Adviser, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer and the Adviser’s compliance record, and the Adviser’s business continuity plan. The Board also considered its knowledge of the Adviser’s operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with the Adviser in person to discuss various marketing and compliance topics, including the Adviser’s diligence in risk oversight. The Board concluded that the Adviser had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality, cost and extent of such management services are satisfactory and reliable.

THE FUNDS’ HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND THE OVERALL PERFORMANCE OF THE ADVISER. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Adviser, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of the Funds as of August 31, 2012 on both an absolute basis, and in comparison to both benchmarks and its peer funds as classified by Lipper and Morningstar. The Board considered that each Fund was relatively new, with just over one year of performance information. When reviewing performance against the comparative peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objective and strategies of the Funds, as well as their level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in the peer universe.

SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund. The Board noted that the SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund’s performance, with regard to each of its Lipper and Morningstar comparative universe, was above its peer group median and Lipper Index (with respect to the Lipper comparative universe) or average (with respect to the Morningstar comparative universe) for all relevant periods.

The Board also considered any differences in performance between similarly managed accounts and the performance of the Fund and reviewed the performance of the Fund against broad-based securities market benchmarks.

SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund. The Board noted that the SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund’s performance, with regard to each of its Lipper and Morningstar comparative universe, was above its peer group median and Lipper Index (with respect to the Lipper comparative universe) or average (with respect to the Morningstar comparative universe) for all relevant periods.

THE COSTS OF THE SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED BY THE ADVISER AND THE STRUCTURE OF THE ADVISER’S FEE UNDER THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT. In considering the appropriateness of the advisory fee, the Board considered the level of the fee itself as well as the total fees and expenses of each Fund. The Board reviewed information as to fees and expenses of advisers and funds within the relevant Lipper peer funds as well as fees charged by the Adviser to other similarly managed accounts. When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into account the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts.

SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio for the SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund of 1.35% for the Class A shares and 2.10% for the Class C shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”). The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio for the Class A shares and Class C shares was above the median and average of its peer group, as well as the average of the Fund’s peer group when adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes. The Board also noted that the contractual advisory fee was above the median and average of its peer group, as well as the average of the Fund’s peer group when adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes. The Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the payment of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the Adviser received no advisory fees from the Fund during the most recent fiscal period. The Board also took into consideration the services the Adviser provided to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund. The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were in-line with the standard fees charged to the Adviser’s separately managed account clients. The Trustees noted that while the Fund’s expenses and advisory fee were somewhat above that of its peer group, the Fund’s performance, after taking into account fees and expenses, compared favorably to its peer group.

The Board noted that the Adviser had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio for the SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund of 1.35% for the Class A shares and 2.10% for the Class C shares (respectively, the “Expense Caps”). The Board noted that the Fund’s total expense ratio for the Class A shares and Class C shares was above the median and average of its peer group, as well as the average of the Fund’s peer group when adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes. The Board also noted that the contractual advisory fee was above the median and average of its peer group, as well as the average of the Fund’s peer group when adjusted to include only funds with similar asset sizes. The Board also considered that after advisory fee waivers and the payment of Fund expenses necessary to maintain the Expense Caps, the Adviser received no advisory fees from the Fund during the most recent fiscal period. The Board also took into consideration the services the Adviser provided to its separately managed account clients, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the management fees charged to the Fund. The Board found that the management fees charged to the Fund were in-line with the standard fees charged to the Adviser’s separately managed account clients. The Trustees noted that while the Fund’s expenses and advisory fee were somewhat above that of its peer group, the Fund’s performance, after taking into account fees and expenses, compared favorably to its peer group.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board also considered that economies of scale would be expected to be realized by the Adviser as the assets of the Funds grow. The Board noted that the Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses so that the Funds do not exceed its specified Expense Caps. The Board concluded that there were no effective economies of scale to be shared with the Funds at current asset levels, but indicated they would revisit this issue in the future as circumstances changed and asset levels increased.

THE PROFITS TO BE REALIZED BY THE ADVISER AND ITS AFFILIATES FROM THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FUNDS. The Board reviewed the Adviser’s financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Adviser from advising the Funds. The Board considered the profitability to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds and considered any additional benefits derived by the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds, including benefits received in the form of Rule 12b-1 fees. After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Adviser with respect to the Advisory Agreement was not excessive, and that the Adviser had maintained adequate resources and profit levels to support the services it provides to the Funds.

No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund and the SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund, but rather the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to them. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangements with the Adviser, including the advisory fees, were fair and reasonable. The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for the SiM Dynamic Allocation Diversified Income Fund and the SiM Dynamic Allocation Equity Income Fund would be in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders.

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 it does not have an audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. At this time, the registrant believes that the business experience and financial literacy provided by each member of the audit committee collectively offers the registrant adequate oversight given the registrant’s level of financial complexity.

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.

	FYE 4/30/2013	FYE 4/30/2012
Audit Fees	$29,000	$36,000
Audit-Related Fees	N/A	N/A
Tax Fees	$6,000	$8,700
All Other Fees	N/A	N/A

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:

	FYE 4/30/2013	FYE 4/30/2012
Audit-Related Fees	0%	0%
Tax Fees	0%	0%
All Other Fees	0%	0%

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.

Non-Audit Related Fees	FYE 4/30/2013	FYE 4/30/2012
Registrant	N/A	N/A
Registrant’s Investment Adviser	N/A	N/A
