<b>Fee Table</b>

<b>Annual Fund Operating Expenses </b>(Expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) ended July 31, 2018:

This Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The Example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund´s operating expenses remain the same. Seven years after the date of purchase, Class B & C Shares automatically convert to Class A Shares. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expense Example - AMERICAN GROWTH FUND Series One - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	1,093	2,121	3,139	5,638
Class B	1,377	2,929	4,353	6,697
Class C	688	1,749	2,889	5,546
Class D	1,031	1,944	2,861	5,166

You would pay the following expenses if you did not redeem your shares:

Expense Example, No Redemption - AMERICAN GROWTH FUND Series One - USD ($)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	1,093	2,121	3,139	5,638
Class B	877	2,529	4,053	6,697
Class C	588	1,749	2,889	5,546
Class D	1,031	1,944	2,861	5,166

The Example does not reflect sales charges (loads) on reinvested dividends and other distributions. If these sales charges (loads) were included, your costs would be higher.

<b>Portfolio Turnover</b>

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 11% of the average market value of its portfolio.

<b>Principal Investment Strategy</b>

Investment Research Corporation (the "Adviser") manages the Fund using a growth style of investing. We use a consistent approach to build the Fund´s security portfolio which is made up primarily of common stocks and securities convertible into common stock. These securities are issued by large companies, and to a lesser extent, small and mid-sized companies. When a company´s fundamentals are strong, we believe earnings growth will follow. The Fund may invest in securities of other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, to obtain desired exposures.

<b>Principal risks of investing in the Fund</b>

The primary risks of investing in the Fund are:

• Stock Market Risk - the value of an investment may fluctuate,
• Industry and security risk - the risk that the value of securities in a particular industry or the value of an individual stock or bond will decline because of changing expectations for the performance of that industry or for the individual company issuing the stock or bond.
• Management Risk - risks that the Adviser´s assessment of a company´s growth prospects may not be accurate,
• Interest Rate Risk – as rates rise, the price of a fixed rate bond will fall,
• Credit Risk – a bond’s issuer may be unable to make timely payments of interest and capital,
• Foreign Investment Risk – adverse effects from political instability, currency exchange rates, economic conditions or regulatory and accounting standards.
• Liquidity Risk - a given security or asset may not be readily marketable,
• Small Cap Risk - small cap stocks tend to have a high exposure to market fluctuations and failure,
• Mid Cap Risk - mid cap stocks tend to have a greater exposure to market fluctuations and failure,
• Equity Risk – stock and equity fluctuates in response to a company’s financial condition,
• Repurchase Agreement Risk – a seller may default or a security declines in value,
• Depository Receipts Risk – generally these are subject to the same risks as Foreign Investment Risks,
• Convertible Securities have the risk of loss of principal at maturity.
• Large Cap Company Risk – slower response to competitors, technology and consumer tastes and slower growth rates during periods of economic expansion.
• Investments in Other Investment Companies Risk - the Fund’s investments in other investment companies will be subject to the risks of the other investment companies’ portfolio securities and the Fund will bear indirectly the fees and expenses of the other investment companies in which it invests.
• Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”) Risk - The Fund is subject to the risks associated with the securities or other investments in which the ETFs invest. The Fund’s shareholders will indirectly bear fees and expenses paid by the ETFs in which it invests, in addition to the Fund’s direct fees and expenses. An index-based ETF’s performance may not match that of the index it seeks to track. An actively managed ETF’s performance will reflect its adviser’s ability to make investment decisions that are suited to achieving the ETF’s investment objective.

Loss of some or all of the money you invest is a risk of investing in the Fund.

<b>Risk/Return Bar Chart and Table</b>

The bar chart and table are intended to provide you with an indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund´s average annual returns for Class D shares for 1, 5 and 10 years compare to those of the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index total return.
