Dear Fellow Shareholder:
We are pleased to present our combined 2021 annual report for MH Elite Small Cap Fund of Funds, MH Elite Fund of Funds, MH Elite Select Portfolio of Funds and MH Elite Income Fund of Funds.
All’s fair in love and war. The year started with a love affair for meme stocks (GameStop, AMC Entertainment and Avis Budget Group) as the David’s of the investing world went to war with the Goliath’s (institutions and hedge funds) of Wall Street. Investors continually fall in and out of love with stocks and for the opportunity to grab their share of Wall Street’s riches. Stock market volatility gets distorted when investors rely more on social media and online forums than on the fundamentals. For example, GameStop was trading for 17.25 per share in early January, had an intraday high of $483 per share by the end of January and closed at 40.59 on February 19th. That’s not investing. Company earnings should be what matters most when investing. Stratospheric gains from stocks that do not turn a profit is a head scratcher for me. One cryptocurrency intelligence firm reported that between January and July, crypto accounted for $680 million in scam losses. In a desire to not miss out on the Bitcoin craze, investors drove the price to over $64,000 in the first half of 2021, only to see the price plummet back down below $30,000 over the summer. By November the price had skyrocketed again to a new all-time high over $68,000 and, in a repeat performance, dropped to under $35,000 to start 2022. If fundamentals are not important then it feels more like gambling and playing the lottery than investing.
Meme and crypto mania aside, the story lines that impacted the stock market throughout the year included a riot in our nation’s capital, inauguration of Joe Biden as President of the United States, delta and omicron variants of Covid-19, supply chain bottlenecks, an increasing inflation rate not seen in over 30 years, labor shortages, stronger than expected employment data and the anticipation that the Fed will start hiking interest rates in 2022. Additional stimulus checks were a boost for consumers to help get the economy back on track. Stock prices, in general, fell in January, then rallied for much of the year before retreating in September and November before ending the year on an uptick. Fueled by fiscal stimulus and stronger than expected earnings, economic growth in 2021 was the best it has been in 37 years
MH Elite Small Cap Fund of Funds was up 14.58% in 2021, in line with the 14.82% return of the Russell 2000 Index. Small cap stocks rallied early in the year and were outpacing large cap stocks through June. Large cap stocks regained market leadership in the third and fourth quarters to surpass the gains from small cap stocks. Boosted by rallies in financials and industrials, the small cap value sector significantly outperformed funds that focused on technology and momentum stocks. The Russell 2000 Value Index was up 28.3% versus the Russell 2000 Growth Indexes gain of 2.8%
While we track the Russell 2000 Index as our benchmark for small cap stocks there are other small cap indexes. For example, our position in Vanguard Tax-Managed Small Cap tracks the performance of the S&P Small Cap 600 Index which, in 2020, underperformed the Russell 2000 Index by 9%. For 2021, this fund outperformed the Russell 2000 index by 12% and was one of
1
our top performers with a gain of 27%. We will maintain our focus on building a diversified portfolio of funds representing the full spectrum of investment choices within the small cap sector including both value oriented and growth focused funds.
Notable changes to the portfolio included replacing Calvert Small Cap and AMG River Road Small-Mid Cap Value Fund with Fidelity Stock Selector Small Cap and Needham Small Cap Growth.
Our top performing holdings were clearly our value funds led by MFS New Discovery Value (34%), Vanguard Small Cap Value Index (28.1%), Franklin Small Cap Value (25.8) and Heartland Value Plus (24.8%). Within the small cap blend category, we received strong performances from Paradigm Micro-Cap (27.9%) and Principal Small Cap (19.9%). Small Cap Growth funds that were a drag on our performance included Alger Small Cap Focus (-14.2%), Virtus Small Cap Sustainable Growth (4.3%), Baron Discovery (4.6%) and T. Rowe Price New Horizons (9.7%).
MH Elite Fund of Funds was up 19.75% in 2021 versus the 26.5% return of the Russell 1000 Index. The disparity in returns between value and growth was not as apparent in the large cap sector. The Russell 1000 Value Index was up 25.2% while the Russell 1000 Growth Index gained 27.6%. Our underperformance versus the Russell 1000 Index can be attributed to the diversification of our holdings and an allocation to a much broader spectrum of funds. Mega cap stocks have a strong impact on the composition of an Index. For example, the six largest companies in the S&P 500 Index make up close to 25% of the market cap of the entire index. Our holdings include a couple of mid cap funds and a few funds that are categorized as large cap funds but may allocate up to 40% to mid-cap stocks. With large mega cap stocks fueling the market in the second half of the year it is understandable that our Fund, with its broad diversification of underlying funds, would trail the Russell 1000 Index.
Our best performers were Shelton NASDAQ 100 Index (27.4%), Vanguard Tax Managed Capital Appreciation (26.9%), Columbia Dividend Income (26.3%). T. Rowe Price Dividend Growth (26.0%), Homestead Value (25.2%) and Principal Blue Chip (25.1%). Our weakest performers, as mentioned above, were our mid cap holdings, Primecap Odyssey Aggressive Growth (9.4%) and Fidelity Extended Market Index (12.4%), and those funds that took on an all cap investing strategy like T. Rowe Price Global Technology (10.0%) with an allocation of 30% to mid-cap stocks and Fidelity Select Retailing (18.2%) with a 40% allocation to small and mid-cap stocks.
Changes to the portfolio included replacing Vanguard Dividend Growth and Nuance Mid Cap Value with Fidelity Select Communication, Calvert US Large Cap Core and T. Rowe Price Value. We also trimmed our growth positions in Akre Focus, Primecap Odyssey Aggressive Growth and Loomis Sayles Growth to add to our value holdings.
MH Elite Select Portfolio of Funds was up 6.72% in 2021. Globally it was a difficult year as many regions around the world had sub-par performances. Other than the European region (+16%), a number of foreign markets had a down year including funds that invest in emerging markets (-2.5%), the Latin America region (-8%) and the PacificAsia region (-2%). Foreign markets were impacted by the withdrawal from Afghanistan, global political unrest, pandemics and China’s restructuring and restrictions placed on some of the country’s largest and most prestigious companies including the potential default of real estate developer, Evergrande.
We were well rewarded for our allocation to the Real Estate sector. Our top holdings were Cohen & Steers Real Estate Securities and MFS Global Real Estate with gains of 42.1% and 29.9%, respectively. Other notable contributors were Vanguard Materials Index (27.3%) and Virtus AllianzGI Global Water Fund (25.8%). We also received double digit returns from Pimco StockPLUS International (18.4%), WCM Focused International Growth (17.0%), Fidelity Nordic (13.1%), Brown Capital Management International Small Company (12.7%), Fidelity International
2
Capital Appreciation (12.2%) and MFS International Value (10.6%). On the flip side, our investments in emerging market funds were disappointing as Artisan Developing World, Invesco Oppenheimer Developing Market and Virtus KAR Emerging Markets Small Cap were all negative for the year, down 9.9%, 7.2% and 1.6%, respectively. Other notable non contributors, with uninspiring returns, were Artisan International Small Mid (3.7%), Fidelity Pacific Basin (2.4%) and Vanguard International Growth (-0.7%).
We liquidated our position with WCM Focused Emerging Market to add two new holdings, Wasatch Emerging Markets Select and T. Rowe Price Global Industrials.
The fund has a current allocation of 50% invested in Foreign Developed Markets, 25% in Emerging Market funds, 10% in the Real Estate
sector 9% in funds within the Natural Resources category and 6% in other alternative strategies and cash.
MH Elite Income Fund of Funds was up 2.44% in 2021, outperforming the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index which was negative for the year, down 1.54%.
With interest rates on the rise, bond prices will be challenged. Generally, as interest rates rise bond prices will decline. We were able to outpace bond returns by investing in alternative sources of income by incorporating funds that emphasize stock dividends, real estate, utilities and junk bonds. Two of our worst performers in 2020, Alpha Centric Income Opportunities, which focuses on income within the real estate sector, and Vanguard Utilities Index rebounded in 2021 and were two of our best performers with gains of 14.9% and 17.4%, respectively. Dividend stocks funds were a standout as Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index returned 26.1% and Fidelity Strategic Dividend gained 19%.
Holdings that ended the year in the red were Western Asset Core Plus Bond (-2.2%), Carillon Reams Core Plus (-2%), Virtus SEIX Corporate Bond (-1.7%), Vanguard Emerging Market Bond (-1.2%), Thornburg Limited Term Income (-0.7%), Dodge & Cox Global Bond (-0.8%) and Janus Henderson Developed World Bond (-0.7%).
Changes to the portfolio included replacing Baird Core Plus with USAA Intermediate Term Bond and selling Pimco Dividend Income to purchase Pimco Low Duration Income and Pimco Inflation Response Multi Asset. Metropolitan West High Yield was sold and replaced with Hartford Strategic Income, a multi sector bond fund. Intermediate Term Bond Fund, Virtus SEIX Corporate Bond, and short-term bond fund, Thornburg Limited Term Income were also added to the portfolio.
Currently, 40% of the portfolio is invested in traditional bond funds with an emphasis on short term, intermediate term and multisector bond funds. The portfolio is further diversified by allocating 8% to High Yield Bond Funds, 6% to Floating Rate/Bank Loan Funds, 6% to Emerging Market Bond Funds, 10% to World Bond Funds, 28% to alternative income strategies and holding 2% in cash. Alternative strategies include investing in Utilities, Convertible Securities and funds that generate income from stock dividends.
The fund has succeeded in providing a stable alternative to our other three equity funds. Shareholders now have the option to reduce their risk exposure to stocks and create a more balanced investment approach all within the MH Elite Family of Funds.
It is always worth remembering that the most efficient way to building wealth is having a well-conceived investment plan that is committed to spending time in the market and not trying to time the market. To reach your investment goals you need to be focused and disciplined to avoid letting the headlines scare you out of the market. Being diversified means your portfolio may not hit a home run but you also will not strike out. Singles and doubles could well be your best option to reaching your investment goals. From a recent issue of The Independent Adviser for Vanguard

Investors, “Having an investment process, a plan and the discipline to stick with it beats having an outlook, a forecast and a crystal ball.”
To our loyal shareholders, we appreciate and thank you for the trust you have placed in our management and we would like to extend a special welcome to all new shareholders. For more information on our investing strategies and updates to fund holdings please visit our website, www.mhelite.com.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
MH Elite Portfolio of Funds Trust is an open-end diversified management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1933. MH Elite Portfolio of Funds, Inc. was originally organized as a corporation in New Jersey on October 20, 1997. On January 1, 2014, MH Elite Portfolio of Funds, Inc. merged into a new Delaware statutory trust called the MH Elite Portfolio of Funds Trust, pursuant to Board and shareholder approval. MH Elite Portfolio of Funds Trust continues the operations of its predecessor New Jersey corporation. MH Elite Portfolio of Funds Trust offers four funds to investors; MH Elite Small Cap Fund of Funds, MH Elite Fund of Funds, MH Elite Select Portfolio of Funds and MH Elite Income Fund of Funds (collectively, “the Funds”). The sale to its initial investor in MH Elite Small Cap Fund of Funds occurred on February 17, 1998, the sale to its initial investor in MH Elite Fund of Funds occurred on January 13, 2004, the sale to its initial investor in MH Elite Select Portfolio of Funds occurred on April 6, 2006 and the sale to its initial investor in MH Elite Income Fund of Funds occurred on August 15, 2011.
The primary objective of the Small Cap Fund of Funds, Fund of Funds and Select Portfolio of Funds is long-term capital appreciation through investing in diversified and non-diversified regulated investment companies that will invest in equity securities.
The primary objective of the Income Fund of Funds is income, with the potential for capital appreciation as a secondary objective by investing in regulated investment companies.
MH Elite Portfolio of Funds Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 946.
The following is a summary of the Funds’ significant accounting policies:
Security Valuation - All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 6.
Underlying Fund Valuation – Underlying funds are valued at the last reported net asset value as quoted by the respective fund with the resulting unrealized gains and losses included in income. United States Government obligations and other debt instruments having sixty days or less remaining until maturity are valued at amortized cost.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds’ policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. Each of the Funds intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Capital gains, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with applicable federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are due primarily to differing treatments of income and gain on various investment securities held by the Funds, timing differences and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Funds.

ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
Investment Income – Dividend income from underlying funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income from money market funds are recognized on an accrual basis when earned.
Security transactions and Investment Income – Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gain and loss on investments sold are recorded on the basis of identified or average cost. Dividend income and capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents: Each Fund maintains its cash in an account at a custodian bank, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Funds have not experienced any losses in such account and believe they are not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent events: Except for the declared distributions to the shareholders on January 11, 2022 (note 4), management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no other subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

4. INCOME TAXES (Continued)
Reclassifications: Certain Funds recorded a permanent book tax difference in their short term realized gains accounts by reclassifying net investment loss to short term realized gains at December 31, 2021. This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and is designed generally to present undistributed income and net realized gains on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders. At December 31, 2021, the net investment losses for the following Funds are:
Fund of Funds - $110,382 Select Portfolio - $6,123
The Funds’ recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2018-2020) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2021 tax returns. The Funds’ identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal where the Funds’ make significant investments; 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 12 months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended, December 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur an interest or penalties.
For federal income tax purposes, the tax basis of investments is the same as for financial reporting purposes. At December 31, 2021, on a tax basis, gross unrealized appreciation, depreciation, and cost of investments for each Fund were:

SECURITIES VALUATIONS
Processes and Structure
The Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted methods for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated authority to the Funds’ investment adviser to apply those methods in making fair value determinations, subject to board oversight. All of the Funds’ securities are regularly traded and do not require fair value measurement by a valuation committee. The Funds’ board and audit committee review the Funds’ investment portfolios quarterly.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The Funds utilize published securities closing price to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company has 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 that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Fair Value Measurements
A description of the valuation techniques applied to each Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

SECURITIES VALUATIONS (Continued)
Mutual Funds. Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2021:
The Funds’ investment category is mutual funds and short-term securities:

Valuation Inputs | MH Elite Small Cap Fund of Funds | MH Elite Fund of Funds | MH Elite Select Portfolio of Funds | MH Elite Income Fund of Funds |

Level 3 | - | - | - | - |
Total | $9,605,530 | $19,058,963 | $7,473,013 | $10,126,220 |
The Funds did not hold any Level 3 investments during the year ended December 31, 2021. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments at any time during the year ended December 31, 2021. There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 during the period. It is the Funds’ policy to recognize transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 at the end of the reporting period.
7. INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds’ enter into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds’ that have not yet occurred. The Funds’ expect the risk of loss to be remote.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
of MH Elite Portfolio of Funds Trust.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of MH Elite Small Cap Fund of Funds (“Small Cap”), MH Elite Fund of Funds (“Fund of Funds”), MH Elite Select Portfolio of Funds (“Select”) and MH Elite Income Fund of Funds (“Income”), each a series of MH Elite Portfolio of Funds Trust, (collectively the “Funds”) including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of the Funds as of December 31, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of December 31, 2021, by correspondence with the custodian and bank. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES
MH Elite Portfolio of Funds Trust has adopted the policy of always voting in line with management recommendations. If, at any time, we feel the fund management of an underlying fund within one of our portfolios is not working in the best interests of our shareholders we will liquidate our position in that fund. It is not our intent to change or alter the management or policies of the underlying funds. The most effective way to voice our concerns or displeasure with the management of a fund company is to simply not invest in their fund(s). We will only invest in fund companies that we feel will help us to meet our investment objectives and, in turn, serve the needs of our shareholders.
A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to the portfolio securities is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds (toll-free) at 1.800.318.7969 or (ii) on the SECVs website at http://www.sec.gov.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Trust has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk, which is the risk that our Funds would not be able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the Fund(s). The Program is overseen by the Adviser, MH Investment Management Inc.and the Program’s principal objectives include assessing, managing and periodically reviewing each Fund’s liquidity risk, based on factors specific to the circumstances of the Funds.
Assessment and management of the Trust’s liquidity risk under the Program takes into consideration certain factors, such as the individual Fund’s investment strategies and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, its short- and long-term cash-flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, and its cash and cash-equivalent holdings and access to other funding sources. As required by the rule, the Program includes policies and procedures for classification of Fund portfolio holdings into four liquidity categories, highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid and illiquid investments. As the Trust invests in other open-end registered investment companies, our portfolios are classified as highly liquid investments and can be converted into cash within 3 business days to meet shareholder redemption requests without diluting remaining shareholder’ interests in a Fund. Each of the underlying funds we invest in will have their own liquidity risk management policy.
The Trust’s board will exercise general oversight of the liquidity risk management program. The Trustees must also act with reasonable business judgement on behalf of shareholders. At the meeting of the Funds’ Board of Trustees on November 10, 2021, the liquidity risk management program was reviewed for any material changes to ensure the program was implemented and operated effectively in all material respects and that existing procedures, controls and safeguards are appropriately designed to be in compliance with Rule 22e-4. There were no identified events that created liquidity related concerns for the Funds.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to a Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in that Fund may be subject.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder of the MH Elite Small Cap Fund of Funds, MH Elite Fund of Funds, MH Elite Select Portfolio of Funds and/or MH Income Fund of Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) management fees and (2) other Fund operating 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, July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first four lines of the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these lines, 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, second, third and/or fourth line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The fifth line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 these 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 transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the fifth line of the table 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

| Beginning Account Value July 1, 2021 | Ending Account Value December 31, 2021 | Expenses Paid During the Period July 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 (a) |
Actual – MH Elite Small Cap Fund of Funds | $1,000 | $ 993 | $6.28 | (b) |

Hypothetical with expense ratio of 1.25% (5% return before expenses) | $1,000 | $1,019 | $6.40 | |
(a)
The management fees and expenses of the underlying funds in which the Funds invest are not reflected in the table above. Generally, the operating expenses of the underlying funds range from 0.04% to 1.85% of average net assets.
(b)
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.25%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184 / 365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the ‘Act’) requires that the Investment Advisory Agreement be approved annually by a vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees and including a majority of the Trustees who are considered Independent Trustees as defined by the Act.

Harvey Merson, Funds’ portfolio manager and representative for the adviser provided reports and analysis to the Board and attended the Board meeting.
Matters considered by the Board of Trustees in order to approve the investment advisory contract included, but were not limited to:
1. The Board considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund of funds,
2. The nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Investment Adviser,
3. Investment performance,
4. Compensation to the Adviser and an analysis of the Adviser's profitability with respect to the fund,
5. Possible conflicts of interest between the Funds and the Adviser,
6. Brokerage and portfolio transactions,
7. Overall fund expenses and expense ratios based on information provided. The Board also considered that the Funds' fee structure was competitive with the funds with similar investment goals and strategies,

In light of the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser to the Funds, including portfolio management, research, relationships with third party service providers, such as Funds’ custodian and transfer services provided by Mutual Shareholder Services, quality of shareholder reports, accounting and compliance services, the Board concluded that said services by the Adviser warranted approval to renew the investment advisory and administrative services agreements.

The Board considered, among other performance information, each funds investment objectives relative to each fund’s annualized total returns over one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. Performance reviews included comparisons to benchmark indexes with the caveat that each fund represents a portfolio of funds and includes multiple asset classes and investing styles for which there is no individual index that invests accordingly. Adviser emphasized to the Board the uniqueness of our Fund of Funds structure, in that, there are no other
non-proprietary fund complexes with similar offerings based on asset allocation specific funds. Board concluded that the Adviser’s recommendations are consistent with the objectives and principal investment strategies as outlined in the Funds’ prospectus.
Board reviewed a detailed monthly analysis of the Adviser’s expenses and fees received from Funds to satisfy the financial responsibilities of the adviser under the terms set forth in the Investment Adviser and Administrative Services Agreements. Board acknowledges the Adviser, based on growth in Fund assets, is looking to expand shareholder services and improve the functionality of the services currently provided. Board concluded that the fees paid by the funds are fair, reasonable and necessary to maintain the financial stability of the Adviser.
Based on its evaluation of all material factors, the Board, including the non-interested Trustees, voted unanimously to approve and renew the investment advisory contract with MH Investment Management Inc. for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
