MEYERS CAPITAL AGGRESSIVE GROWTH FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOVEMBER 30, 2012 (UNAUDITED)
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 six months ended November 30, 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.
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.
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 six months ended November 30, 2012, the Advisor earned a gross fee of $26,614 from the Fund. The Fund owed the Advisor $4,157 as of November 30, 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 November 30, 2012, was $3,050,137. Transactions in capital were as follows:
Six Months Ended November 30, 2012 | Year Ended May 31, 2012 | |||
Shares | Amount | Shares | Amount | |
Shares sold | 972 | $ 8,733 | 1,586 | $ 15,200 |
Shares reinvested | ||||
Shares redeemed | (18,642) | (165,149) | (24,004) | (235,000) |
Total increase (decrease) | (17,670) | $ (156,416) | (22,418) | $ (219,800) |
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 six months ended November 30, 2012, there were no redemption fees collected.
Note 5. Investment Transactions
For the six months ended November 30, 2012, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments aggregated $3,320,840 and$3,587,827, 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 November 30, 2012 and May 31, 2012.
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.
The following table presents the Fund’s assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at November 30, 2012:
Investments in Securities | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
Common Stocks | $ 2,553,542 | - | - | $ 2,553,542 |
Real Estate Investment Trusts | 126,840 | - | - | 126,840 |
Short-Term Investments: | ||||
Huntington Money Market IV | 100,157 | - | - | 100,157 |
$ 2,780,539 | - | - | $ 2,780,539 |
The Fund did not have any liabilities that were measured at fair value on the recurring basis at November 30, 2012.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 during the six months ended November 30, 2012. The Fund considers transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 as of the end of the reporting period.
The Fund did not hold any Level 3 assets during the six months ended November 30, 2012. For more detail on the investments, please refer to the Schedules of Investments. The Fund did not hold any derivative instruments at any time during the six months ended November 30, 2012.
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 six months ended November 30, 2012 and 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:
Fiscal year ended Fiscal year ended
Distributions paid from: 5/31/2012 5/31/2011
Ordinary Income $ - $ 4,372
Total $ - $ 4,372
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 November 30, 2012, Frank and Anita Meyers owned approximately 85.15% 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.
Note 10. New Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 related to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment may have on the Fund’s financial statements.

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, June 1, 2012 through November 30, 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. | |||
Beginning Account Value | Ending Account Value | Expenses Paid During the Period * | |
June 1, 2012 | November 30, 2012 | June 1, 2012 to November 30, 2012 | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,021.84 | $9.63 |
Hypothetical (5% Annual | |||
Return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,015.54 | $9.60 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.90%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the period). |
