[1] Matrix Asset Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor"), the Fund's investment adviser, has contractually agreed to reduce its fees and/or pay Fund expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, leverage interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) in order to limit the Fund's total annual fund operating expenses to 0.99% of the Fund's average net assets (the "Expense Cap"). The Expense Cap will remain in effect until at least October 31, 2013. The agreement may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Fund's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") upon 60 days' written notice to the Advisor. The agreement may not be terminated by the Advisor without the consent of the Board of Directors. The Advisor is permitted, with Board approval, to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three years.This reimbursement may be requested if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for the fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) does not exceed the Expense Cap. Currently, the Advisor has agreed not to seek reimbursement of such fee reductions and/or expense payments.
Example
This Example is intended to help you compare the costs 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.
Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover
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 19%
of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal Investment Strategies
The Fund invests primarily in both dividend and non-dividend paying common
stocks of domestic U.S. companies that the Advisor believes are financially
strong and meet specific valuation criteria using the principles of value
investing based on Classic Valuation Analysis. Using valuation models,
statistics such as earnings growth, dividend growth, return on equity and
book value are analyzed versus their historical, current and projected levels
to determine a company's "Fair Value." The Fund invests primarily in large
capitalization companies, which the Advisor defines as companies with minimum
market capitalizations of $2 billion at the time of purchase. Stocks will be
sold when the Advisor believes they no longer represent value. The Fund may
invest in any sector. At times, the Advisor may overweight the Fund's portfolio
in one or more particular sectors, and/or underweight the Fund's portfolio or
not invest in one or more particular sectors.
Principal Investment Risks
There is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the
Fund. The following are some of the principal risks that can affect the value
of your investment:

o  Management Risk: The risk that the Advisor may fail to implement the Fund's   
   investment strategies and meet its investment objective.                      
  
o  Market Risk: The market price of a security may fluctuate, sometimes rapidly  
   and unpredictably. These fluctuations may cause a security to be worth less   
   than it cost when originally purchased or less than it was worth at an earlier
   time.                                                                         
  
o  Common Stock Risk: Common stocks are susceptible to general stock market      
   fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value.                
  
o  Sector Emphasis Risk: Investing a substantial portion of the Fund's assets
   in related industries or sectors may have greater risks because companies
   in these sectors may share common characteristics and may react similarly
   to market developments.                                                          

o  Value Strategy Risk: The stock of value companies can continue to be          
   undervalued for long periods of time and not realize its expected value. The  
   value of the Fund may decrease in response to the activities and financial    
   prospects of an individual company.
Performance
The following performance information provides some indication of the risks of
investing in the Fund. The bar chart below shows how the Fund's total returns
have varied from year to year. The table below shows how the Fund's average
annual total returns for 1-year, 5-year and 10-year periods compare with that
of a broad-based market index. The Fund's past performance (before and after
taxes) is not necessarily an indication of how it will perform in the future.
Updated performance information is available on the Fund's website at

Calendar Year Total Returns [1]
Bar Chart
The Fund's year-to-date return as of September 30, 2012 was 11.01%.

During the periods shown in the bar chart, the Fund's highest quarterly return
was 25.11% for the quarter ended June 30, 2003, and the lowest quarterly return
was -26.31% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008.
After-tax returns are calculated using the historically highest individual
federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and
local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and
may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to
investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as
401(k) plans or individual retirement accounts. In certain cases, the figure
representing "Return after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares" may
be higher than the other return figures for the same period. A higher after-tax
return results when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and provides an
assumed tax deduction that benefits the investor.
