Total annual operating expenses, as disclosed in the Fund’s prospectus dated September 28, 2012, were 2.72% of average daily net assets. Longview Capital Management LLC (the “Adviser”) has contractually agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund until September 30, 2013, so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses does not exceed 2.20%. This operating expense limitation does not apply to brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interests and dividends expenses on securities sold short), taxes, extraordinary expenses, fees and expenses paid under a distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1, and indirect expenses (such as “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses”). The Adviser may be entitled to the reimbursement of any fees waived or expenses reimbursed pursuant to the agreement provided overall expenses fall below the limitations set forth above. The Adviser may recoup the sum of all fees previously waived or expenses reimbursed during any of the previous three (3) years, less any reimbursement previously paid, provided total expenses do not exceed the limitation set forth above. This agreement may be only terminated by mutual consent of the Adviser and the Fund.
Effective December 13, 2012, the Adviser has agreed to amend its existing expense limitation agreement. Under the terms of the amended expense limitation agreement, the Adviser will waive its fees and/or reimburse other expenses of the Fund until September 30, 2014, so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses does not exceed 1.99%. Prior to December 13, 2012, the expense cap was 2.20%.

The investment objective of the Longview Global Allocation Fund is to provide long-term capital appreciation with capital preservation as a secondary objective.
AVAILABILITY OF PORTFOLIO SCHEDULE – (Unaudited)
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Public Reference Room in Washington DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
ABOUT THE FUND’S EXPENSES – (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as short-term redemption fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 period from June 1, 2012 to 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
4
ABOUT THE FUND’S EXPENSES – (Unaudited) (continued)
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 = 8.60), 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 ratios 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 the 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.
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 second 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The Longview Global Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is an open-end non-diversified series of the Valued Advisers Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is a management investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 13, 2008 (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. The Fund is one of a series of funds authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Fund’s investment adviser is Longview Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”). The investment objective of the Fund is long-term capital appreciation with capital preservation as a secondary objective.
The Fund’s prospectus provides a description of the Fund’s investment objective, policies and strategies, along with information on the class of shares currently being offered. The Fund currently offers one share class that has a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.75% as a percentage of the original purchase price.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. The Fund also intends 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. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense.
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 recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for all tax years since inception.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).
Security Transactions and Related Income – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The first in, first out (“FIFO”) method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.
Dividends and Distributions – The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, as dividends to its shareholders on at least an annual basis. The Fund intends to distribute its net realized long term capital gains and its net realized short term capital gains, if any, at least once a year. Dividends to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized gains for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.
Redemption Fees – The Fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee for shares redeemed within 30 days. These fees are deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Fund will retain the fee charged as an increase in paid-in capital and such fees become part of the Fund’s daily Net Asset Value (“NAV”) calculation.
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (“CDSC”) – There is no initial sales charge on purchases of shares of $1 million or more, or purchases by qualified retirement plans

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (continued)
with at least 200 employees; however, a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1.00% will be imposed if such shares are redeemed within eighteen (18) months of their purchase, based on the lower of the shares’ cost or current net asset value. Any shares acquired by reinvestment of distributions will be redeemed without a CDSC.
NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) establish a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – (continued)
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.
Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds and exchange-traded notes, are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Fund believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Fund determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when certain restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Fund, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the Fund. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
Short-term investments in fixed income securities, (those 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. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.
In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Fund 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. No single standard exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – (continued)
an issue of securities being valued by the Fund would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance 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. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Fund’s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or the Fund is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations. Good faith pricing may also be used in instances when the bonds the Fund invests in may default or otherwise cease to have market quotations readily available. Any fair valuation pricing done outside the Fund’s approved pricing methods must be approved by the Pricing Committee of the Board.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of November 30, 2012:
Valuation Inputs | ||||||||||||||||
Assets | Level 1 - Quoted Prices in Active Markets | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs | Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs | Total | ||||||||||||

Total | 29,673,119 | $ | – | – | $ | 29,673,119 |
The Fund did not hold any investments at any time during the reporting period in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period. The Fund did not hold any derivative instruments during the reporting period.
The Trust recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no transfers between any levels for the period ended November 30, 2012.

NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the terms of the management agreement (the “Agreement”), on behalf of the Fund, the Adviser manages the Fund’s investments subject to oversight of the Trustees. As compensation for its management services, the Fund is obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.15% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Adviser earned a fee of $181,165 from the Fund. At November 30, 2012, the Fund owed the Adviser $28,042 for advisory fees.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund until September 30, 2013, so that Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses does not exceed 2.20%. This operating expense limitation does not apply to brokerage fees and commissions, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short), taxes, 12b-1 fees, other capital expenditures in accordance with GAAP, and extraordinary expenses and indirect expenses (such as “acquired funds fees and expenses”). There were no waived or reimbursed advisory fees for the six months ended November 30, 2012.
The waiver and/or reimbursement by the Adviser with respect to the Fund is subject to repayment by the Fund within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which that particular waiver and/or reimbursement occurred, provided that the Fund is able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitations described above.
The Trust retains Huntington Asset Services, Inc. (“HASI”) to manage the Fund’s business affairs and provide the Fund with administrative services, including all regulatory reporting and necessary office equipment and personnel. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, HASI earned fees of $18,801 for administrative services provided to the Fund. At November 30, 2012, HASI was owed $3,176 from the Fund for administrative services.
Certain officers of the Trust are members of management and/or employees of HASI. HASI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Unified Financial Securities, Inc. (the “Distributor”) and Huntington National Bank, the custodian of the Fund’s investments (the “Custodian”). For the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Custodian earned fees of $4,016 for custody services provided to the Fund. At November 30, 2012, the Custodian was owed $411 from the Fund for custody services.
The Trust also retains HASI to act as the Fund’s transfer agent and to provide fund accounting services. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, HASI earned fees
16
Longview Global Allocation Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements - (continued)
November 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES – (continued)
of $21,670 for transfer agent services and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services to the Fund. At November 30, 2012, the Fund owed HASI $3,432 for transfer agent services and out-of-pocket expenses.
For the six months ended November 30, 2012, HASI earned fees of $12,534 from the Fund for fund accounting services. At November 30, 2012, HASI was owed $2,117 from the Fund for fund accounting services.
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund will pay the Distributor and/or any registered securities dealer, financial institution or any other person (the “Recipient”) a shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund in connection with the promotion and distribution of the Fund’s shares or the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, the printing and mailing of sales literature and servicing shareholder accounts. The Fund or Adviser may pay all or a portion of these fees to any Recipient who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of shares, or who provides certain shareholder services, pursuant to a written agreement. The Plan is a compensation plan, which means that compensation is provided regardless of 12b-1 expenses actually incurred. It is anticipated that the Plan will benefit shareholders because an effective sales program typically is necessary in order for the Fund to reach and maintain a sufficient size to achieve efficiently its investment objectives and to realize economies of scale. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, the 12b-1 expense incurred by the Fund was $39,384. The Fund owed $6,096 for 12b-1 fees as of November 30, 2012.
The Distributor acts as the principal distributor of the Fund’s shares. There were no payments made to the Distributor by the Fund for the six months ended November 30, 2012. An officer of the Trust is an officer of the Distributor and such person may be deemed to be an affiliate of the Distributor. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, there was $8,581 in sales charges deducted from the proceeds of sales of capital shares. There were no CDSC fees deducted from the redemption of capital shares for the six months ended November 30, 2012.

NOTE 5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the six months ended November 30, 2012, purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and short-term U.S. government obligations, were as follows:
Purchases | Sales | |||||||
U.S. Government Obligations | $ | – | $ | – | ||||
Other | 124,156,760 | 125,388,377 |

Gross Unrealized Appreciation | $ | 408,378 | ||
Gross Unrealized (Depreciation) | (1,243,561 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Net Unrealized Depreciation on Investments | $ | (835,183 | ) | |
|
|
At November 30, 2012, the aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $30,508,302 for the Fund.
NOTE 6. 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 those estimates.
NOTE 7. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of a fund, under Section 2(a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. At November 30, 2012, FOLIOfn Investments, Inc. (“FOLIOfn”) owned, as record shareholder, 87.39% of the outstanding shares of the Longview Global Allocation Fund. The Trust does not know whether FOLIOfn or any of the underlying beneficial owners owned or controlled 25% or more of the voting securities of the Longview Global Allocation Fund.
NOTE 8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
On December 24, 2012, an income distribution of $0.0073 per share was made to shareholders of record on December 21, 2012.

NOTE 8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS – (continued)
The tax characterization of distributions paid for the fiscal period ended May 31, 2012 was as follows:
2012 | ||||
Distributions paid from: | ||||
Ordinary Income | $ | 30,293 | ||
|
| |||
$ | 30,293 | |||
|
|
At May 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Capital loss carryforward | $ | (1,577,851 | ) | |
Unrealized depreciation | (704,378 | ) | ||
Other accumulated losses | (163,479 | ) | ||
|
| |||
Total | $ | (2,445,708 | ) | |
|
|
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales of $875,143. Qualified late year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses incurred after October 31 and December 31. For the taxable year ended May 31, 2012, the Fund plans to defer late year losses in the amount of $(163,479).
NOTE 9. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFORWARD
At May 31, 2012, the Fund had available for federal tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards of $1,577,851, which are available to offset future realized gains. To the extent that these carryforwards are used to offset future gains, it is probable that the amount offset will not be distributed to shareholders. Capital losses generated during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2013, will be subject to the provisions of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. Capital losses generated in the current year are all short-term in character.
NOTE 10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
At its December 11-12, 2012 board meeting, the Board approved a change to the expense limitation agreement of the Fund. Effective December 13, 2012, the Adviser has contractually agreed to lower the Fund’s expense cap from 2.20% to 1.99% and extended the term of the expense limitation agreement such that the new contractual agreement is in effect through September 30, 2014.

AVAILABILITY OF PORTFOLIO SCHEDULE – (Unaudited)
Each Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q is available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Public Reference Room in Washington DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
ABOUT THE FUND’S EXPENSES – (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as short-term redemption fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 period from June 1, 2012 to 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 = 8.60), 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 ratios 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 the 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.

ABOUT THE FUND’S EXPENSES – (Unaudited) (continued)
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 second 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The Cloud Capital Strategic Large Cap Fund (the “Large Cap Fund”) and the Cloud Capital Strategic Mid Cap Fund (the “Mid Cap Fund”) (each a “Fund” and, collectively the “Funds”) were organized as open-end diversified series of the Valued Advisers Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is a management investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 13, 2008 (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. The Funds are two of a series of funds authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Funds each offer two share classes, Class A Shares and Institutional Class Shares. The Funds’ Class A Shares have not yet commenced operations. The Funds’ Institutional Class Shares commenced operations on June 29, 2011. The Funds’ investment adviser is Cloud Capital LLC (the “Adviser”). The investment objective of the Large Cap Fund is to consistently deliver excess returns relative to the S&P 500® Index over three- to five-year time horizons. The investment objective of the Mid Cap Fund is to consistently deliver excess returns relative to the S&P Mid Cap 400® Index over three- to five-year time horizons.
Each Fund’s prospectus provides a description of the investment objective, policies and strategies, along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. Each Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. Each Fund also intends 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. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense.
As of and during the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties,

if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for all tax years since inception.
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).
Security Transactions and Related Income – The Funds follow industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The first in, first out (“FIFO”) method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.
Dividends and Distributions – Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, as dividends to its shareholders on at least an annual basis. Each Fund intends to distribute its net realized long term capital gains and its net realized short term capital gains, if any, at least once a year. Dividends to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes.
Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effects on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) establish a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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.
Equity securities, including common stock and exchanged-traded funds, are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Fund believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - (continued)
valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Fund determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when certain restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Fund, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.
In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, each Fund 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. No single standard exists for determining fair value, because fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the Fund would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance 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. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Fund’s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or the Fund is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations. Good faith pricing may also be used in instances when the bonds the Fund invests in may default or otherwise cease to have market quotations readily available. Any fair valuation pricing done outside the Fund’s approved pricing methods must be approved by the Pricing Committee of the Board.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - (continued)
The Funds did not hold any investments at any time during the reporting period in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments during the reporting period.
The Trust recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period. There were no transfers between any levels for the period ended November 30, 2012.
NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Under the terms of the management agreement, on behalf of the Funds (the “Agreement”), the Adviser manages each Fund’s investments subject to oversight of the Trustees. As compensation for its management services, effective September 28, 2012, each Fund is obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to September 28, 2012, each Fund was obligated to pay the Adviser a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Adviser earned fees of $165,463 from the Large Cap Fund and $87,455 from the Mid Cap Fund before the waivers described below. At November 30, 2012, the Funds owed the Adviser $25,262 and $7,047, respectively, for the excess of management fees earned over expenses waived during the period.
The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or limit its fees and to assume other expenses of each Fund until May 31, 2014, so that total annual fund operating expenses do not exceed 1.40%. This operating expense limitation does not apply to, borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expenses on securities sold short), taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, and expenses incurred under a plan of distribution adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“Excluded Expenses”). This limitation also excludes any “acquired fund fees and expenses” as that term is described in each Fund’s prospectus. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Adviser waived fees of $11,049 from the Large Cap Fund and $46,538 from the Mid Cap Fund. These amounts are subject to potential recoupment by the Adviser through May 31, 2016.
The waiver and/or reimbursement by the Adviser with respect to the Funds are subject to repayment by the Funds within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in
47

(Unaudited)
NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - (continued)
which that particular waiver and/or reimbursement occurred, provided that the Funds are able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitations described above.
The Trust retains Huntington Asset Services, Inc. (“HASI”) to manage each Fund’s business affairs and provide each Fund with administrative services, including all regulatory reporting and necessary office equipment and personnel. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, HASI earned fees of $18,801 for the Large Cap Fund and $18,801 for the Mid Cap Fund.
At November 30, 2012, HASI was owed $3,176 from the Large Cap Fund and $3,176 from the Mid Cap Fund for administrative services.
The Trust also retains HASI to act as the Fund’s transfer agent and to provide fund accounting services. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, HASI earned fees of $16,739 for the Large Cap Fund and $15,987 for the Mid Cap Fund for transfer agent services and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing transfer agent services. At November 30, 2012, HASI was owed $2,829 from the Large Cap Fund and $2,891 from the Mid Cap Fund for transfer agent services and out-of-pocket expenses.
For the six months ended November 30, 2012, HASI earned fees of $12,534 from the Large Cap Fund and $12,534 from the Mid Cap Fund for fund accounting services. At November 30, 2012, HASI was owed $2,117 from the Large Cap Fund and $2,117 from the Mid Cap Fund for fund accounting services.
Certain officers of the Trust are members of management and/or employees of HASI. HASI is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huntington Bancshares, Inc., the parent company of Unified Financial Securities, Inc. (the “Distributor”).
The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Funds will pay the Distributor and/or any registered securities dealer, financial institution or any other person (the “Recipient”) a fee of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of the Class A Shares of each Fund in connection with the promotion and distribution of Fund’s shares or the provision of personal services to shareholders, including, but not necessarily limited to, advertising, compensation to underwriters, dealers and selling personnel, the printing and mailing of prospectuses to other than current Fund shareholders, the printing and mailing of sales literature and servicing shareholder accounts. The Funds or Adviser may pay all
48
Cloud Capital Funds

(Unaudited)
NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - (continued)
or a portion of these fees to any Recipient who renders assistance in distributing or promoting the sale of shares, or who provides certain shareholder services, pursuant to a written agreement. The Plan is a compensation plan, which means that compensation is provided regardless of 12b-1 expenses actually incurred. It is anticipated that the Plan will benefit shareholders because an effective sales program typically is necessary in order for the Funds to reach and maintain a sufficient size to achieve efficiently its investment objectives and to realize economies of scale. There were no 12b-1 fees for the six months ended November 30, 2012, as the Class A Shares of each Fund have yet to commence operations.
The Funds may pay certain financial intermediaries that provide certain administrative services to shareholders who invest in the Institutional Class shares of the Funds, including record keeping and sub-accounting shareholder accounts. Each Fund is authorized to pay up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each Fund’s Institutional Class shares. The payments may also be made to certain financial intermediaries in connection with client account maintenance support, statement preparation and transaction processing. The types of payments under this category include, among others, payment of ticket charges per purchase or exchange order placed by a financial intermediary, payment of networking or other recordkeeping fees, or onetime payments for ancillary services such as setting up the Funds on a financial intermediary’s trading systems. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, the Large Cap Fund and Mid Cap Fund incurred administrative servicing fees of $22,119 and $7,104, respectively. At November 30, 2012, the Large Cap Fund and Mid Cap Fund owed $3,664 and $1,189 in administrative servicing fees, respectively.
The Distributor acts as the principal distributor of the Funds’ shares. An officer of the Trust is an officer of the Distributor and such person may be deemed to be an affiliate of the Distributor. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, there were no sales charges or CDSC fees deducted from the proceeds of sales, and redemption of capital shares, as the Fund’s Class A shares have not yet commenced.
NOTE 5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the six months ended November 30, 2012, purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments and short-term U.S. government obligations, were as follows:
Fund | Purchases | Sales | ||||||
Large Cap Fund | $ | 14,646,013 | $ | 28,355,544 | ||||
Mid Cap Fund | 7,883,945 | 8,674,588 |

NOTE 5. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES - (continued)
At November 30, 2012, the net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for tax purposes was as follows:
Fund | Tax Cost of Securities | Unrealized Appreciation | Unrealized Depreciation | Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | ||||||||||||
Large Cap Fund | $ | 39,935,765 | $ | 2,912,411 | $ | (2,581,698 | ) | $ | 330,713 | |||||||
Mid Cap Fund | 21,803,132 | 1,947,003 | (2,025,159 | ) | (78,156 | ) |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales of $1,274,371 for the Large Cap Fund and $1,360,471 for the Mid Cap Fund.
NOTE 6. 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 those estimates.
NOTE 7. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of a fund, under Section 2(a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. At November 30, 2012, FOLIOfn Investments, Inc. (“FOLIOfn”) owned, as record shareholder, 48.01% of the outstanding shares of the Cloud Capital Strategic Large Cap Fund. At November 30, 2012, FOLIOfn Investments, Inc. (“FOLIOfn”) and TD Ameritrade Trust Company (“TD Ameritrade”) owned, as record shareholder, 60.70% and 31.99%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Cloud Capital Strategic Mid Cap Fund. The Trust does not know whether FOLIOfn or TD Ameritrade or any of the underlying beneficial owners owned or controlled 25% or more of the voting securities of the Funds.
NOTE 8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
On December 24, 2012, the Large Cap Fund paid an income distribution of $0.1386 per share, a short-term capital gain distribution of $0.9148 per share, and a long-term capital gain distribution of $0.0790 per share to shareholders of record as of December 21, 2012.

On December 24, 2012, the Mid Cap Fund paid an income distribution of $0.0811 per share, a short-term capital gain distribution of $0.7316 per share, and a long-term capital gain distribution of $0.0716 per share to shareholders of record as of December 21, 2012.
The tax characterization of distributions paid for the fiscal period ended May 31, 2012 was as follows:
Fund | Ordinary Income* | Total Distributions | ||||||
Large Cap Fund | $ | 114,779 | $ | 114,779 | ||||
Mid Cap Fund | 187,767 | 187,767 |
* | Short term capital gains distributions are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. |
At May 31, 2012, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Fund | Ordinary Income | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) | Total Accumulated Earnings (Loss) | ||||||||||||
Large Cap Fund | $ | 1,363,804 | $ | 3,940 | $ | (1,310,628 | ) | $ | 57,116 | |||||||
Mid Cap Fund | 478,714 | 1,683 | (982,917 | ) | (502,520 | ) |
NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated events or transactions that may have occurred since November 30, 2012, that would merit recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. There were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

To Shareholders of the LS Opportunity Fund,
Long Short Advisors, LLC (LSA, the “Advisor”) launched the LS Opportunity Fund (LSOFX, the “Fund”) on September 30, 2010 to offer access to Independence Capital Asset Partners’ (ICAP, the “Sub-Advisor”) long/short equity strategy in a 1940 Act mutual fund structure. While the Fund was established in 2010, the investment team at ICAP has been operating a traditional hedge fund with a similar investment objective since 2004. Through extensive research, implementation of risk management, diversification and limited use of leverage, the Fund seeks to preserve capital while delivering above-market returns and managing volatility. For more information on the Advisor, Sub-Advisor or the Fund, please visit our website at www.longshortadvisors.com.
Market Review
The six-month period ending November 30, 2012 (the “Period”) began on a sour note as the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) lost almost 2.5% on June 1, 2012, completing a 9% drawdown from May 1, 2012. However, despite this poor start and a string of weaker than expected economic reports from the US, Europe and China through the summer, this proved to be the low point for equity markets for the Period. As has been the case over the past two years, the promise of expanded monetary easing from government authorities once again trumped a marked deterioration in global macroeconomic data.
A double digit market upswing since June 2, 2012 left the S&P 500 with a cumulative return over the six-month Period of 9.3% with 100% net exposure. Over the same period, the Fund posted a cumulative total return of 6.1% with an average month-end net exposure for the Period of just 48.9%. We believe the Fund’s comparison to the long-only S&P 500 should be evaluated in the context of net exposure. Additionally, the Fund outperformed its long/short equity benchmark, the HFRX Equity Hedge Index (HFRX), which returned just 3.7%.
1
Management Discussion of Fund Performance
Backed by our belief that the economic recovery was sputtering and could contract, we crafted a portfolio of equities that, in our view, had prospective return profiles independent of economic outcomes. The Fund’s largest investments this period included companies that were proactively managing their assets and capital base to enhance long-term shareholder returns.
Contributors
The Fund profited from positive development in its four largest long positions, all of which are independent of the global economic slowdown or European debt crisis.
Liberty Media Holdings (LMCA) – ICAP maintains its strong belief in Liberty Media and Sirius Satellite, Liberty’s largest investment holding. Sirius closed the recent Period at a post-2008 high of $2.77 a share, which increased the value of Liberty’s stake to nearly $8 billion. Liberty will exercise board control over Sirius during the 4th quarter and initiate a recapitalization that will force Sirius to on-board debt and use the proceeds to repurchase approximately 35% of the shares outstanding. We believe these events will support an even higher share price for Sirius, the benefit of which will accrue to Liberty.
Davita Healthcare Partners, Inc. (DVA) – Davita’s litigation concerns drove its share price down to $60 a share back in September of 2011. We concluded at the time that the market was over-discounting the litigation risk, which provided us an opportunity to buy a leading franchise with a large margin for error. While there are still other litigation risks outstanding, the recent decision by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in St. Louis to conclude their investigation and take no further action makes us more confident the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Denver will take a similar path. As this remaining litigation risk lifts, investors can refocus on the steady fundamentals of Davita’s kidney dialysis business and its significant acquisition of Health Care Partners that may become the model of integrated care in our country.
Ocwen Financial Corp. (OCN) – The Fund maintains a large position in Ocwen and expects the specialty mortgage loan servicing market to grow over the coming years due in large part to the fact that U.S. banks have realized there is no economic justification for staying in the distressed loan business. We believe the eventual transfer of servicing rights to non-bank servicers like Ocwen is at the beginning of a multi-year cycle. With low operating costs and a strong capital structure, Ocwen is one of the few buyers of mortgage servicing rights. As such, Ocwen can continue to make deals like their recent large acquisition of mortgage servicing rights from a Wilbur Ross affiliate that should significantly enhance their earnings and cash flow growth trajectory.
Constellation Brands, Inc. (STZ) – Earlier this year, Constellation, the world’s largest wine company, announced it would buy the remaining 50% stake of Crown Imports
2
LLC, its thriving U.S. import joint venture with Mexican brewer Grupo Modelo. The deal will give STZ full financial and managerial control of the largest beer importer in the United States. Additionally, the firm reported fiscal second quarter results during the first week in October that indicated positive developments in its struggling wine business. Should this core business continue to improve concurrently with the successful completion of the Crown acquisition, we would expect to enter a new phase of value creation for STZ investors.
Detractors
The Fund was less successful this period with its energy-related equities, including Peabody Energy (BTU), the world’s largest private-sector coal company, and Occidental Petroleum (OXY), the California-based oil and gas exploration and production company, both of which detracted from performance. Other notable detractors included Sarepta Therapeutics Inc. (SRPT), a medical research and drug development company, and Navistar International Corporation (NAV).
Management Outlook
As we look to the next period, the checklist of global risks remains long. While the provision of global stimulus appears to be succeeding in buying time for policy makers to implement fiscal reforms, underlying global growth trends remain tepid. In Europe, we can expect deleveraging and austerity measures to negatively impact growth for years to come. In China, the ascension of new leadership coincides with a rapid economic deceleration. The typical Chinese response to a slowdown is significant stimulus in the form of large-scale infrastructure investment, but the leadership transition may be hindering action. Here at home, it appears that policy measures will take some near-term tail risk out of the market, but stubbornly high unemployment and continued deficit spending are structural problems with no immediate solution.
For the Fund, we continue to look to companies that are less dependent on global growth trends. At period’s end, the Fund’s top 10 positions represented approximately 34.5% of the long book. In addition to Liberty, Ocwen, DaVita, and Constellation Brands, top names include Citigroup, Inc. (C), Lowes Cos. Inc. (LOW), Schlumberger Ltd. (SLB), Altisource Professional Solutions (ASPS), Qualcomm Inc. (QCOM), and Liberty Global (LBTA).
Our short book includes several restaurants facing margin pressure, consumer product companies experiencing product displacement by new technologies, and retail companies facing slower growth and margin pressure. We are also short a number of technology companies whose valuations have become extremely stretched given our view of the competitive market place. Rounding out our short book includes names being negatively affected by the global slowdown.
3
From the Fund’s inception, we have been deliberate in our process and patient with our long-term investments despite periods of extreme volatility and unsettling macro-economic developments. We feel our process has served us well over time and continues to generate out-of-consensus investment ideas that we believe will provide strong risk-adjusted returns for the LS Opportunity Fund into the future.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to reporting to you again at the end of our fiscal year in May 2013.
Sincerely,
Jim Hillary
Portfolio Manager, LS Opportunity Fund
Positioning the LS Opportunity Fund in a Portfolio
The most common question we get from advisors and investors alike is where a long/short equity fund fits within a traditional stock and bond allocation. Historically, we would have said it belonged in your equity bucket as a complement to your long-only equity allocation as a means of reducing downside risk. Recently, however, we are also advising investors to use it as a substitute for what will be a low, and potentially negative, return on U.S. bonds in the years to come.
We do not believe yields can fall much further given today’s negative real yield on 10 Year Treasuries

The secular bull market in bonds has lulled investors into a false sense of security due to consistent annual appreciation since the early 1980s, but this has not always been the case and may not recur in the near future

Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Since the 10 Year Treasury yield peaked at 16% in 1981, price appreciation has added almost 3% to annualized Treasury returns as yields have fallen to today’s near-record low of 1.8%
Since 2000, the universe of long/short equity hedge funds represented by the HFRI Equity Hedge Index has delivered similar risk-adjusted returns to a traditional 60/40 blended portfolio of stocks and bonds; stripping out the recent abnormal bond price appreciation makes an even more compelling case for long/short equity on a historical basis

Going forward, a traditional 60/40 balanced portfolio could be weighed down by low bond returns at best, while negative returns are probable:

Bear Case | 3.4% | -11.7% | 5.0% | -9.0% | -20% |
• | Best Case scenario assumes yield falls to 1% historical support level of 10 Year Japanese bonds |
• | Base Case assumes WSJ economist survey results play out as expected |
• | Bear Case assumes near-term yield reverts back to 5% historical mean |
Looking forward to the next two years, without the benefit of bond appreciation, long/short equity may have the advantage over a traditional 60/40 balanced portfolio. We believe one of two things is likely to occur over this time period, and investors need to alter their balanced allocations accordingly
1. | The US will emerge into a period of recovery and growth, providing a sustainable lift to equity valuations while putting increasing pressure on interest rates and bond yields |
• | In this scenario, you will want to reduce your client’s allocation to U.S. fixed income, using long/short equity as complementary diversifier to a long-only equity portfolio |
2. | The U.S. will remain mired in its current slow growth environment, leading to increasingly volatile equity prices |
• | In this scenario, you will want to reduce your client’s allocation to long-only equities to avoid excessive drawdowns, using long/short equity as a complementary diversifier to a low return bond allocation as the only potential source of alpha |
Either way, we believe a greater allocation to long/short equity may serve as an effective way to manage portfolio risk going forward.
Thank you for choosing the LS Opportunity Fund as a place to invest your assets. We appreciate your trust in us to help manage and grow your capital.

The views and opinions expressed in management’s discussion of Fund performance are those of the advisor and sub-advisor as of the end of the period. These views and opinions are subject to change at any time based on factors such as market and economic conditions. These views and opinions may not be relied upon as investment advice or recommendations, or as an offer for a particular security. The information is not a complete analysis of every aspect of any market, country, industry, security or the Fund. Statements of fact are from sources considered reliable, but neither the advisor nor the sub-advisor makes any representation or warranty as to their completeness or accuracy. Although historical performance is no guarantee of future results, these insights may help you understand our investment management philosophy.
The S&P 500 Index is a widely recognized, unmanaged index of equity prices and is representative of a broader market and range of securities than is found in the Fund’s portfolio. The Index is an unmanaged benchmark that assumes reinvestment of all distributions and excludes the effect of taxes and fees. Individuals cannot invest directly in this Index; however, an individual can invest in exchange traded funds or other investment vehicles that attempt to track the performance of a benchmark index. Barclays Capital US Aggregate Bond Index represents securities that are SEC-registered, taxable and dollar denominated. The index covers the US investment-grade fixed-rate bond market, with index components for government and corporate securities, mortgage pass-through securities and asset-backed securities. HFRX Equity Hedge Index is compiled by Hedge Fund Research, Inc. It is comprised solely of hedge funds, and is designed to be representative of the overall composition of the hedge fund universe implementing a long/short equity strategy. The Funds’ performance is not intended to reflect the performance of the Index, which is provided for comparison purposes only. The Index is not available for direct investment. Standard Deviation is a measure of the dispersion of a set of data from its mean. Alpha is a measure of performance on a risk adjusted basis. Beta is a measure of the volatility of a portfolio relative to the overall market. Correlation is a statistical measure of how two securities move in relation to each other. Sharpe Ratio uses standard deviation and excess return to determine reward per unit of risk.

The LS Opportunity Fund seeks to generate long term capital appreciation by investing in both long and short positions within a portfolio consisting of primarily publicly-traded common stock, with less risk than that of the stock market in general.
Availability of Portfolio Schedule – (Unaudited)
The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Public Reference Room in Washington DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.
About The Fund’s Expenses – (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (such as short-term redemption fees); and (2) ongoing costs, including 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 period from June 1, 2012 to November 30, 2012.
10
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 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the 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 ratios 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 the 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.
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 second 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
November 30, 2012
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The LS Opportunity Fund (the “Fund”) is an open-end, non-diversified series of the Valued Advisers Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust is a management investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated June 13, 2008 (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. The Fund is one of a series of funds authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Fund’s investment advisor is Long Short Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”). The Advisor has retained Independence Capital Asset Partners, LLC (the “Sub-Advisor”) to serve as sub-advisor to provide portfolio management and related services to the Fund. The Sub-Advisor receives a fee from the Advisor (not the Fund) for these services. The investment objective of the Fund is to generate long term capital appreciation by investing in both long and short positions within a portfolio consisting of primarily publicly-traded common stock, with less risk than that of the stock market in general.
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. The Fund also intends 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. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense.
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 recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for all open tax years.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or other appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).
Security Transactions and Related Income – The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The Last In, First Out method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Distributions from Limited Partnerships are recognized on the ex-date. Income or loss from Limited Partnerships is reclassified in the components of net assets upon receipt of K-1’s. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Redemption Fees – The Fund charges a 2.00% redemption fee for shares redeemed within 60 days. These fees are deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Fund will retain the fee charged as an increase in paid-in capital and such fees become part of the Fund’s daily NAV calculation.
Foreign Currency Translations – Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars as follows: (i) assets and liabilities at the rate of exchange at the end of the respective period; and (ii) purchases and sales of securities and income and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing on the dates of such transactions. The portion of the results of operations arising from changes in the exchange rates and the portion due to fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities are not isolated. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
The Fund may enter into transactions to purchase or sell foreign currencies to protect the U.S. dollar value of its underlying portfolio securities against the effect of possible adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. Principal risks associated with such transactions include the movement in value of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar and the ability of the counterparty to perform. Fluctuations in the value of such forward currency transactions are recorded daily as unrealized gain or loss; realized gain or loss includes net gain or loss on transactions that have terminated by settlement or by a fund entering into offsetting commitments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the company’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. These instruments involve market risk, credit risk, or both kinds of risks, in excess of the amount recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks arise from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in currency and securities values and interest rates.
Dividends and Distributions – The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, net realized long-term capital gains and its net realized short-term capital gains, if any, to its shareholders on at least an annual basis. Dividends to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value per share of the Fund.
Short Sales – The Fund may make short sales as part of its overall portfolio management strategies or to offset a potential decline in value of a security. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to various types of securities, including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). A short sale involves the sale of a security that is borrowed from a broker or other institution to complete the sale. The Fund may engage in short sales with respect to securities it owns, as well as securities that it does not own. Short sales expose the Fund to the risk that it will be required to acquire, convert or exchange securities to replace the borrowed securities (also known as “covering” the short position) at a time when the securities sold short have appreciated in value, thus resulting in a loss to the Fund. The Fund’s investment performance may also suffer if the Fund is required to close out a short position earlier than it had intended. The Fund must segregate assets determined to be liquid in accordance with procedures established by the Board of Trustees, or otherwise cover its position in a permissible manner. The Fund will be required to pledge its liquid assets to the broker in order to secure its performance on short sales. As a result, the assets pledged may not be available to meet the Fund’s needs

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
for immediate cash or other liquidity. In addition, the Fund may be subject to expenses related to short sales that are not typically associated with investing in securities directly, such as costs of borrowing and margin account maintenance costs associated with the Fund’s open short positions. These types of short sales expenses are sometimes referred to as the “negative cost of carry,” and will tend to cause the Fund to lose money on a short sale even in instances where the price of the underlying security sold short does not change over the duration of the short sale. Dividend expenses on securities sold short and borrowing costs are not covered under the Advisor’s expense limitation agreement with the Fund and, therefore, these expenses will be borne by the shareholders of the Fund.
Purchasing Call Options – The Fund may purchase call options. As the holder of a call option, the Fund has the right to purchase the underlying security at the exercise price at any time during the option period. The Fund may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to such options, exercise them or permit them to expire. The Fund may also purchase call options on relevant stock indexes. Call options may also be purchased by the Fund for the purpose of acquiring the underlying securities for its portfolio. Utilized in this fashion, the purchase of call options enables the Fund to acquire the securities at the exercise price of the call option plus the premium paid. At times the net cost of acquiring securities in this manner may be less than the cost of acquiring the securities directly. This technique may also be useful to the Fund in purchasing a large block of securities that would be more difficult to acquire by direct market purchases. So long as it holds such a call option rather than the underlying security itself, the Fund is partially protected from any unexpected decline in the market price of the underlying security and in such event could allow the call option to expire, incurring a loss only to the extent of the premium paid for the option. See Note 4 for additional disclosures.
NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as pricing model

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – continued
and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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.
Equity securities, including common stock, investment companies, and American Depositary Receipts are generally valued by using market quotations, furnished by a pricing service. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security is classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security is classified as a Level 2 security. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Fund determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not

accurately reflect the current fair value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Fund, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities are categorized as Level 3 securities.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities are categorized as Level 1 securities.
Call and put options that the Fund invests in are generally traded on an exchange. The options in which the Fund invests are generally valued at the last trade price as provided by a pricing service. If the last sale price is not available, the options will be valued using the last bid price. The options will generally be categorized as Level 1 securities. The Fund did not invest in any options during the current fiscal year.
If the Fund decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair 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 Fund, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.

NOTE 7. 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 those estimates.

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of a fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. At May 31, 2012, National Financial Services, Inc. owned, as record shareholder, 40.61% of the outstanding shares of the LS Opportunity Fund.

Other accumulated losses | (1,566,437 | ) | ||
|
| |||
