SHAREHOLDER LETTER
MAY 31, 2012 (UNAUDITED)
Dear Shareholder,
The Fund’s total return for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 was negative 15.45%. Although the Fund produced negative returns, market conditions were generally difficult as indicated by the negative returns of the Fund’s benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which produced a total return of negative 9.46% over the same time period.
During the period covered in this report, equity market returns, including those of the Russell 2000 Growth Index, varied significantly and growth-oriented sectors generally trended lower. Consequently, as was the case in many years, market trends dominated performance while stock selection and diversification played a diminished role. During the last year, many of the Fund's portfolio securities performed relatively well but during the last quarter of the period, the Fund's positions lagged the Russell 2000 Growth Index, which resulted in below-index performance for the year-over-year period. Nonetheless, the Fund's portfolio will continue to be managed on an opportunistic basis relying on security selection rather than any index-replication or index-tracking strategy.
The Fund and most growth-oriented indexes have experienced ups and downs during the last fiscal year, and I believe we remain in challenging times. Both the US and global economy are uncertain, investors are nervous and consumers are cautious. Historically, such times have represented excellent opportunities for investors with long-term time horizons. The Meyers Capital Aggressive Growth Fund is currently invested in what I believe are many great small companies that appear to be trading below their long-term intrinsic value and I am very optimistic and excited about the benefits of astute security selection and the prospects for the Fund.
Thank you for your continued confidence.
Sincerely,
Frank Meyers
Portfolio Manager

This chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 9/2/2008 (commencement of operations). Total return is based on the net change in NAV and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions. Performance figures represent past performance which is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.
The Russell 2000 Growth Index is an unmanaged benchmark that assumes reinvestment of all distributions and excludes the effect of taxes and fees. It is a widely recognized unmanaged index representative of broader markets and ranges of securities than are found in the Fund’s portfolio. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index.
The returns shown do not reflect taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares.
Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. To obtain performance data current to the most recent month end, please call (866)-232-3837.

MEYERS CAPITAL AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2012
Note 1. Organization
The Meyers Capital Aggressive Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is the sole series of the Meyers Capital Investments Trust (the “Trust”), a non-diversified, open-end investment company, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Trust was organized on January 10, 2008 under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust. The Fund commenced investment operations on September 2, 2008. The Trust is permitted to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series. The investment advisor to the Fund is Meyers Capital Management Group, LLC (the “Advisor”). The Fund seeks to achieve long-term appreciation in the value of its shares.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Security Valuation- Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
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 Advisor 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. If the Advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing service does 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 Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. 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, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.
In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Advisor is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Advisor would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.
Share Valuation- The price (net asset value) of the shares of the Fund is normally determined as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time on each day the Fund is open for business and on any other day on which there is sufficient trading in the Fund’s securities to materially affect the net asset value. The Fund is normally open for business on every day except Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President’s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Security Transaction Timing- Security transactions are recorded on the dates transactions are entered into (the trade dates). Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recognized 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. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Income Taxes- 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 so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and any realized capital gains. 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.
The Fund recognizes tax benefits of certain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. In addition, GAAP requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, fiscal years 2009-2011, as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major industries, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of and during the year ended May 31, 2012, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total tax amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
Distributions to Shareholders- The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, at year-end. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MAY 31, 2012
Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassification of Capital Account- GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and are designed generally to present undistributed income and net realized gains on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders. As of May 31, 2012, the Fund reclassified permanent book/tax differences of $32,230 from net investment loss to paid-in capital.
Note 3. Investment Management Agreement
The Fund has an investment advisory agreement with Meyers Capital Management Group, LLC (the “Advisor”), under which the Advisor selects the securities and manages the investments for the Fund. The Fund paid a variable performance-based management fee through September 30, 2010. This fee was comprised of an annual base rate of 2.90% of average daily net assets (fulcrum fee), subject to a performance adjustment, in accordance with a rate schedule. The performance adjustment either increased or decreased the management fee, depending on how well the Fund had performed relative to the Russell 2000 Growth Index over the performance period. The performance period is the most recent 12-month period (rolling 12-month period). After September 30, 2010, the Fund paid a fixed rate management fee of 1.90%. For the year ended May 31, 2012, the Advisor earned a gross fee of $60,677 from the Fund. The Fund owed the Advisor $4,645 as of May 31, 2012.
Note 4. Capital Share Transactions
The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of separate series, no par value. The total paid-in capital as of May 31, 2012, was $3,206,553. Transactions in capital were as follows:
| Year Ended May 31, 2012 | Year Ended May 31, 2011 | ||
| Shares | Amount | Shares | Amount |
Shares sold | 1,586 | $ 15,200 | 81,580 | $ 711,864 |

Shareholders will be subject to a Redemption Fee on redemptions equal to 1% of the net asset value of the Fund shares redeemed within 20 days after their purchase. For the year ended May 31, 2012, there were no redemption fees collected.
Note 5. Investment Transactions
For the year ended May 31, 2012, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments aggregated $9,805,756 and $10,043,484, respectively.
Note 6. Fair Value
GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. It applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under GAAP are described as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 2 inputs include those other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data by correlation or other means. If the asset or liability has a specified term the Level 2 inputs must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 – Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at May 31, 2012 and May 31, 2011.
Investments – Valued at quoted market prices
The preceding methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, although the Fund believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Note 7. Tax Matters
As of May 31, 2012, the tax basis components of distributable earnings, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and tax cost of investment securities were as follows:
Capital loss carryforward expiring 5/31/2016+ | $ (299,897) |
|
|
Cost of Investments Securities - Book | 2,827,555 |
|
|
Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities | 263,986 |
Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities | (376,866) |
Net unrealized depreciation on investment securities | $ (112,880) |
|
|
Cost of investment securities, including ST investments # | $ 2,714,675 |
+ The capital loss carryforward will be used to offset any capital gains realized by the Fund in future years through the expiration date. The Fund will not make distributions from capital gains while a capital loss carryforward remains.
# The difference between the tax cost and book cost basis of investments is due to wash sales disallowed for tax purposes.
The Fund did not pay any distributions during the year ended May 31, 2012.
During the year ended May 31, 2011, a distribution of $0.0132 per share, or $4,372 in the aggregate, was declared and paid from net investment income.
The tax character of distributions paid during years ended May 31, 2012 and May 31, 2011 were as follows:

Note 8. Control and 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 amended. As of May 31, 2012, Frank and Anita Meyers owned approximately 84.56% of the Fund and may be deemed to control the Fund.
Note 9. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010
The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Fund. In general, some provisions of the Act, not including the changes to capital loss carryforwards, are effective for the Fund’s fiscal year ending May 31, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers.

Expense Example | |||
|
|
|
|
As a shareholder of the Meyers Capital Aggressive Growth Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist | |||
of management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs | |||
(in dollars) of investing in the Fund 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 | |||
six month period, December 1, 2011 through May 31, 2012. |
| ||
|
|
|
|
Actual Expenses | |||
|
|
|
|
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may | |||
use the information in this line, 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 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 second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical | |||
expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, | |||
which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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 this Fund 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. | |||

BASIS FOR RENEWAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
The Trustees considered the following factors, summarized below, in their evaluation of renewal of the Management Agreement with the adviser.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. As to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the adviser, the Board considered the adviser's investment philosophy and strategy. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the adviser's Form ADV which described the operations and policies of the adviser. The Trustees also reviewed a description of the organizational structure of the adviser, noting that the adviser operates with a single member, Frank Meyers, performing all the functions of the adviser. The Trustees noted that while the adviser does not have the depth of employees that other adviser's may possess, Mr. Meyers devotes 100% of his time to the Fund and is not distracted by having other accounts to manage. They noted that the adviser was subject to some deficiency comments from the SEC following an inspection, but that they believed any process and procedure issues had been remedied. Therefore, the Trustees concluded that the adviser is adequately staffed relative to its responsibilities and obligations to the Fund. They also observed that the adviser's operational and compliance processes are well-designed and give the Trustees confidence that the Fund will be managed in conformity with its investment objective and restrictions. Additionally, the Trustees noted some of the prominent features of the adviser's investment process, including ongoing reviews of financial market developments and supporting the Fund via a website and plans for promotional activities. The adviser certified to the Board that it had complied with the Trust's Code of Ethics. The Board also considered a review of a summary of the adviser's unaudited financial statements. However, as a single member limited liability company that does not have custody of client assets, the adviser has no need for financial statements separate from those of Mr. Meyers. Consequently, the Trustees concluded that the large amount of Mr. Meyers’ personal assets invested in the Fund and the security agreement between the adviser, Mr. Meyers and the Fund were sufficient to give reasonable assurance that the adviser can fulfill any financial obligation to the Fund. The Trustees concluded that the adviser has provided high quality advisory services to the Fund, and that the nature and extent of services provided by the adviser were reasonable and consistent with the Board's expectations.
Performance. As to the Fund's performance, the Trustees reviewed performance information relative to the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 2000 Growth Index, and peer groups for roughly similar-sized funds with a small cap growth equity investment strategy. The Trustees noted that from inception on September 2, 2008 through March 31, 2012, the Fund had returned 0.34% annualized, which was 5.58% below that of the Fund's broad-based securities market index (the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the "Index")), which returned 5.92% over the same period. They also noted the most recent annual performance for the year ended March 31, 2012 during which the Fund lost 3.71%, while the Fund's Index rose 0.68%. Next, the Trustees
MEYERS CAPITAL AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
MAY 31, 2012
reviewed full year performance for 2009, 2010 and 2011, noting that while the Fund underperformed its Index, it did so by significantly smaller amounts over time. They also noted that the Fund outperformed its peer group in 2010, but underperformed in 2009 and 2011. However, the Trustees concurred with the adviser's view that, generally, over time, some portion of any below-Index performance could be attributed to the fees and expenses paid by the Fund when compared to the Index that pays none. Furthermore, they noted that the Fund's performance is highly reliant on the adviser's individual stock selection because the adviser does not pursue an Index-tracking strategy. Consequently, performance should be expected to vary from the Index on an ongoing basis. They noted that even though the Fund's performance was below anticipated, it was nonetheless, within a range that the Trustees considered reasonable. The Trustees also observed that the adviser has no other clients and, consequently, no comparison of the Fund's performance versus other clients could be made. Overall, the Trustees concluded that performance was acceptable, although they would continue to monitor performance with the expectation that performance versus the Fund's Index and peer group would improve.
Fees and Expenses. The Trustees then reviewed information in the peer group studies comparing the expense ratio of the Fund to those of a peer group. Because the Fund is structured as a unitary or universal fee fund, the Trustees compared total Fund expenses to a peer group of similar-sized small cap growth equity funds rather than focusing solely on management fees. They noted that the Fund's total fees of 1.90% were slightly above the peer group average, but within a range of reasonable fees. They also noted that the adviser has no affiliated entities such as a broker-dealer that might be in position to derive revenue from a relationship with the Fund. The Trustees noted that the total fees and expenses of the Fund were within a range of reasonable expenses when compared to a peer group. Additionally, they noted that because the adviser has no other clients, no other client fee comparisons could be made. The Trustees concluded that the Fund's unitary management fee is fair and reasonable, particularly when considering the small size of the Fund.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether there will be economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board concluded that economies of scale was not relevant at this time due to the small size of the Fund.
Profitability. As to costs incurred by and profits realized by the adviser, the Board reviewed information regarding the adviser's management fee income based on an average asset size of $3 million, which is representative of the Fund over the past year. The Trustees observed that the adviser pays all ordinary Fund expenses under the unitary fee structure and that, in total, the adviser's relationship with the Fund is only marginally profitable or not profitable at all, if portfolio manager expense is imputed to the adviser's income statement. After a discussion regarding the adviser's financial wherewithal based upon the net assets of its sole member and the security agreement provided by the sole member and the adviser, the Board concluded that the adviser has adequate resources to fulfill its responsibilities to the Fund. The Trustees determined that the adviser was not excessively profitable.
Conclusion. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees' deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved renewal of the Management Agreement and concluded that the advisory fee is reasonable in light of such services and expenses and such other matters as the Trustees have considered to be relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.
