TOP FLIGHT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2003
1.)
ORGANIZATION
Top Flight Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a non-diversified series of Rock Canyon Funds (the ”Trust”), The Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated November 14, 2002 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Trust Agreement permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. At present, there is only one series authorized by the Trust. The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital. Significant accounting policies of the Fund are presented below:
2.)
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SECURITY VALUATION:
The Fund, will primarily invest in common stocks and exchange traded funds. The investments in securities are carried at market value. The market quotation used for common stocks, including those listed on the NASDAQ National Market System, is the last sale price on the date on which the valuation is made or, in the absence of sales, at the closing bid price. Over-the-counter securities will be valued on the basis of the bid price at the close of each business day. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Trustees.
Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. When prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, subject to review of the Board of Trustees. Short term investments in fixed inco me securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation.
SECURITY TRANSACTION TIMING:
Security transactions are recorded on the dates transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned. The Fund uses the identified cost basis in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
INCOME TAXES:
It is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service. This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.
ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and

(CONTINUED)
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
