[1] "Acquired Fund" means any investment company in which the Fund invests or has invested during the period. Since the Fund is newly organized, "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" are based on estimated expenses for the current fiscal year.
[2] The Fund's investment advisor, QCI Asset Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") has entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement with the Fund under which it has agreed to waive or reduce its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund, if necessary, in an amount that limits the Fund's annual operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, extraordinary expenses, payments under the Rule 12b-1 distribution plan, and acquired fund fees and expenses) to not more than 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Expense Limitation Agreement runs through January 31, 2019 , and may be terminated by the Board of Trustees of the Fund (the "Board" or the "Trustees") at any time. The Advisor cannot recoup from the Fund any amounts paid by the Advisor under the Expense Limitation Agreement. Further, net annual operating expenses for the Fund may exceed those contemplated by the waiver due to acquired fund fees and other expenses that are not waived under the Expense Limitation Agreement.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio).  A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account.  These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 29.19 % of the average value of its portfolio.

PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES

The Fund seeks to balance current income and principal conservation with the opportunity for long-term growth.  QCI Asset Management, Inc. (the "Advisor") seeks to achieve the Fund's investment objective by investing in a diverse portfolio of corporate, agency, and U.S. Government fixed income securities, preferred stock, common stock of primarily large and mid-capitalization issuers, and derivative securities.  Allocation to equity and fixed income securities will range from 25% to 75% of assets.  Depending on market conditions, the allocation of the Fund's assets may range from approximately 25% in equity securities and 75% in fixed income securities to 75% in equity securities and 25% in fixed income securities.  Derivative instruments, consisting of option contracts, are used to hedge the Fund's portfolio in order to reduce the impact of general market fluctuations. The Advisor shall manage the Fund so that the Fund will not be deemed to be a "commodity pool operator" under the Commodity Exchange Act.  The Fund may invest in these securities directly or indirectly through investments in other investment companies, consisting of exchange traded funds ("ETFs") and index funds.  The Fund will not be limited by market capitalization or sector criteria.  The Fund may hold up to 10% of its net assets in cash in the normal course of business when the Fund receives dividends or distributions and has not reinvested the proceeds in a security the Advisor believes is favorable for the portfolio which may also be used to pay fees and expenses of the Fund.

Equity selection is based on securities analysts' recommendations coupled with the Advisor's fundamental research. Equity investments will consist primarily of large and mid-capitalization companies.

Fixed income securities will primarily consist of investment grade issues. The Fund may invest up to 10% of the portfolio in fixed income securities that are rated below investment grade by one or more Nationally Recognized Securities Rating Organizations ("NRSROs") (commonly known as high-yield debt securities).

Securities are sold when, in the view of the Advisor, market valuation has approached the estimated full or fair market valuation of that security, and the remaining predicted small upside potential does not justify continuing to hold that security due to relative downside risk. A fundamental change in the prospects for a particular security or issuer may also be a primary factor for the Advisor in determining whether to sell a portfolio security.

The Fund's investment policy may be changed without shareholder approval upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to shareholders.
