The following replaces in its entirety the section under the heading “ADMINISTRATOR” on page 9:


Gemini Fund Services, LLC, 450 Wireless Boulevard, Hauppauge, NY 11788, acts as administrator (the “Administrator”) to the Trust pursuant to a Fund Services Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Portfolio. The Administrator provides management and administrative services necessary to the operation of the Trust (which include, among other responsibilities, negotiation of contracts and fees with, and monitoring of performance and billing of, the transfer agent, custodian, and other service providers, and arranging for maintenance of books and records of the Trust), and provides the Trust with general office facilities. The Fund Services Agreement has an initial term of two years and then continues in effect from year to year only if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board.

The Fund Services Agreement also provides that the Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission in the administration or management of the Trust, except for willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the Fund Services Agreement.

As compensation for services performed under the Fund Services Agreement, the Administrator receives a monthly fee calculated at the annual rate of 0.04% of the assets of the Portfolio taken as a whole, and allocated to each class based on the number of shareholders in that class, services provided, and other factors. This may result in each class being charged more or less than 0.04% of its respective assets for administration expenses. For the fiscal years ended November 30, 2010, November 30, 2009 and November 30, 2008, Milestone Capital Management, LLC, the Trust’s prior administrator, received $583,711, $683,412 and $786,448, respectively, in fees as administrator of the Trust.

Effective November 1, 2011, Northern Lights Distributors, LLC, 4020 S 147th Street, Omaha, NE 68137 (the “Underwriter” or “Distributor”) serves as the Trust’s statutory underwriter and acts as the agent of the Trust in connection with the offering of shares of the Portfolio pursuant to a Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement” or “Distribution Agreement”). The Underwriting Agreement continues for two years and thereafter from year to year only if its continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board or by vote of the shareholders entitled to vote thereon, and in either case, by a majority of the Trustees who (i) are not parties to the Underwriting Agreement, (ii) are not interested persons of any such party or of the Trust and (iii) with respect to any class for which the Trust has adopted an underwriting plan, have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of that underwriting plan or in the Underwriting Agreement, at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the Underwriting Agreement. All subscriptions for shares obtained by the Underwriter are directed to the Trust for acceptance and are not binding on the Trust until accepted by it. The Underwriter is under no obligation to sell any specific amount of Portfolio shares.
