TOP FLIGHT FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2004 (UNAUDITED)
1.)
ORGANIZATION
Top Flight Fund (the “Fund”) was organized as a non-diversified series of Rock Canyon Funds (the “Trust”) on November 14, 2002 and commenced operations on December 31, 2002. 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. The investment adviser of the Fund is Rock Canyon Advisory Group, Inc. (the “Adviser”).
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. Securities that are traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, a security is valued at its last bid price except when, in the Adviser’s opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value of the security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of 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. The Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service doesn’t not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, 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, in conformity with guidelines and subject to review of the Board of Trustees. Short term investments in fixed income 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.
SHORT SALES:
The Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When the Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale.
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 recognized on an accrual basis. 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:
There is no provision for federal income tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by distributing substantially all of its 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 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.
3.)
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Rock Canyon Advisory Group, Inc. The Fund is authorized to pay the Adviser a fee equal to an annual rate of 1.95% of the average daily net assets of the Fund for investment adviser services. As a result of the above calculation, for the six months ended March 31, 2004, the Adviser received management fees totaling $164,232. At March 31, 2004, a payable of $32,892 was owed to the Adviser.
4.)
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
A control person of the Adviser also serves as a trustee and officer of the Fund. That individual receives benefits from the Adviser resulting from management fees paid to the Adviser of the Fund.
Delta Equity Services Corp. ("Delta"), in its capacity as a registered broker-dealer, effects substantially all securities transactions for the Fund that are executed on a national securities exchange and over-the-counter transactions conducted on an agency basis. It is anticipated that a registered representative of Delta may recommend the Fund to clients, and that, to the extent brokerage transactions are placed with Delta, the registered representative will receive a portion of the commissions. The Adviser rented office space from Paragon Capital Management, Inc., and A principal of Paragon Capital Management, Inc. is a registered representative of Delta.
5.)
CAPITAL SHARES
The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares without par value. Paid-in-capital at March 31, 2004, was $17,719,984 representing 1,638,928 shares outstanding.
6.)

Purchases and sales of securities sold short aggregated $1,092,656 and $1,344,085, respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government obligations aggregated $7,225,892 and $9,796,006, respectively.
7.)
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at March 31, 2004, was $19,109,552.
At March 31, 2004, the composition of unrealized appreciation (the excess of value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over value) was as follows:
Appreciation | (Depreciation) | Net Appreciation (Depreciation) |
$911,723 | ($46,499) | $865,224 |
8.)
CONTROL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of March 31, 2004, Charles Schwab & Co. Inc. held for the benefit of others, in aggregate, more than 98% of the Fund.
9.)
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
On December 16, 2003, a distribution of $3.80 per share was declared. The dividend was paid on December 17, 2003, to shareholders of record on December 16, 2003.
