(1) | The Compass EMP Multi-Asset Balanced Fund Class A commenced operations on December 31, 2008. | | |
(2) | The period does not include the consolidation of the wholly owned subsidiary. | | | | | | | | | | | |
(3) | Per share amounts calculated using the average shares method, which more appropriately presents the per share data for the period. | | | | | | | |
(4) | Realized and unrealized gain per share does not correlate to the aggregate of the net realized and unrealized gains on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended November 30, 2011, primarily due to the timing of sales and repurchases of the Fund's shares in relation to fluctuating market values for the Fund's portfolio. |
(5) | Redemption fees resulted in less than $0.01 per share. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(6) | Aggregate total return, not annualized. Total return in the above table represents the rate that the investor would have earned or lost in an investment in the Fund assuming reinvestment of dividends. Total return does not reflect the impact of sales charges. |
(7) | These ratios exclude the impact of the expenses of the other investment companies in which the Fund invests. | | | | | | | | | |
(8) | Annualized. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(9) | Not annualized. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Compass EMP Multi-Asset Growth Fund ("Growth Fund") commenced operations on December 31, 2008. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
Compass EMP Alternative Strategies Fund ("Alternative Fund") commenced operations on December 30, 2009. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
The Funds offer three classes of shares, Class A, Class C and Class T. Each class differs as to sales and ongoing fees.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
a) Securities Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ, at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. The Funds invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “underlying funds”). Open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The underlying funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the Boards of the underlying funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost, provided each such valuations represent fair value. Debt securities may be valued at prices supplied by the Funds’ pricing agent based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity.
In unusual circumstances, instead of valuing securities in the usual manner, the Funds may value securities at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”), pursuant to the procedures (the “Procedures”) approved by the Board. The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security. Fair value may also be used by the Board if extraordinary events occur after the close of the relevant world market but prior to the NYSE close.
Each Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities and identical securities in inactive markets,
interest rates, amortized cost, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The Funds did not hold any Level 3 securities during the current period presented.
There were no transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 during the current period presented. It is the Funds’ policy to record transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 at the end of the period.
b) Financial Futures Contracts – Each Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge or manage risks associated with the Funds’ securities investments or to gain exposure to certain asset classes or markets. As required by the 1940 Act, the Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts only if the Funds’ liabilities for the futures position are “covered” by an offsetting position in a futures contract or by the Funds segregating liquid assets equal to the Funds’ liabilities on the futures contract. Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin”, are made or received by the Funds on a daily basis. The Funds record an unrealized gain or loss by marking each futures contract to market on a daily basis. A realized gain or loss is recorded when the contract is closed. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying assets. Futures contracts may have off-balance sheet risk. Off-balance sheet risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Positions in futures contracts may be closed out only on an exchange that provides a secondary market for such futures. However, there can be no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular futures contract at any specific time. Thus, it may not be possible to close a futures position. In the event of adverse price movements, the Funds may be required to make cash payments to maintain their required margin. In such situations, if the Funds had insufficient cash, they might have to sell portfolio securities to meet margin requirements at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so. In addition, the Funds might be required to make delivery of the underlying instruments of futures contracts they hold. The inability to close positions in futures could also have an adverse impact on the Funds’ ability to hedge or manage risks effectively.
Successful use of futures by the Funds is also subject to the Manager’s ability to predict movements correctly in the direction of the market. There is typically an imperfect correlation between movements in the price of the future and movements in the price of the assets that are the subject of the hedge. In addition, the price of futures may not correlate perfectly with movement in the cash market due to certain market distortions. Due to the possibility of price distortion in the futures market and because of the imperfect correlation between the movements in the cash market and movements in the price of futures, a correct forecast of general market trends or interest rate movements by the Manager may still not result in a successful hedging transaction over a short time frame.

The trading of futures contracts is also subject to the risk of trading halts, suspension, exchange or clearing house equipment failures, government intervention, insolvency of a commodities or brokerage firm or clearing house or other disruption of normal trading activity, which could at times make it difficult or impossible to liquidate existing positions or to recover excess variation margin payments.
The Funds will purchase or sell futures contracts in accordance with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) regulations.
GAAP requires disclosures about the Funds’ derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Funds’ financial position, performance and cash flows.

*Consolidated
The amounts of realized and changes in unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments during the year as disclosed in the Consolidated Statements of Operations serve as indicators of the volume of derivative activity for each Fund.
c) Consolidation of Subsidiaries – Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporation (the "CFC"). Each CFC may invest primarily in (long and short) commodity, currency and financial futures, as well as fixed income securities and other investments intended to serve as margin or collateral for the CFC's derivative positions. When viewed on a consolidated basis, each CFC is subject to the same investment restrictions as the Fund. During the six months ended May 31, 2014 the Funds’ did not invest in their respective CFC’s.
During the six months ended May 31, 2014, the Alternative Fund had a controlling interest in each of the Compass EMP Long Short Strategies Fund, Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Enhanced Volatility Weighted Fund and the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Volatility Weighted Fund. The Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Enhanced Volatility Weighted Fund and the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Volatility Weighted Fund each have investments in wholly owned CFCs and report their financial statements on a consolidated basis with their respective wholly owned CFCs. The consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities of the Alternative Fund includes the assets and liabilities of the Compass EMP Long Short Strategies Fund and the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Enhanced Volatility Weighted Fund and its wholly owned CFC. The consolidated Statements of Operations, Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights of the Alternative Fund include the activity of its wholly owned CFC, the activity of the Compass EMP Long Short Strategies Fund, the activity of the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Enhanced Volatility Weighted Fund and its wholly owned CFC for the period December 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014, and the activity of the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Volatility Weighted Fund for the period December 1, 2013 through March 7, 2014 at which time it no longer maintained a controlling interest. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
d) Federal Income Tax - The Funds have qualified, except as described below, and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies ("RICs") and to comply with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income to their shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provisions are required. During the five month period ended November 30, 2010, the Alternative Fund did not qualify as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code because it did not meet certain quarterly diversification and annual income tests. Accordingly, the Fund filed as a “C” corporation for the period ended November 30, 2010. As a "C" corporation, the Fund was subject to federal income taxes on any taxable income for that period. However, the Fund had a net loss for that period and consequently did not incur any tax liability. The Code contains procedures to allow a fund that does not meet the requirements to be taxed as a RIC to re-establish its status as a RIC if it marks to market its appreciated security positions in its tax period immediately preceding re-election or if it
COMPASS EMP FUNDS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
May 31, 2014
pays tax on realized “built in gains” over the succeeding ten year period. Further, the Code contains an exception from the mark to market and built in gains tax for RICs that meet certain requirements. The Alternative Fund met these requirements and the Fund re-elected RIC status for the year ending November 30, 2011. Therefore, no provision was made for federal income or excise taxes related to the year ended November 30, 2011. During the year ended November 30, 2012, the Balanced Fund inadvertently failed to distribute to its shareholders its undistributed ordinary taxable income from the year ended November 30, 2011, resulting in the Balanced Fund failing to meet the distribution requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and causing its status as a RIC to terminate. The Internal Revenue Code contains curative provisions that allowed the Balanced Fund to re-establish its status as a RIC retroactive to the year ended November 30, 2011. In order to qualify for this relief, the Balanced Fund paid to its shareholders a “deficiency dividend” and will need to pay interest and penalties to the Internal Revenue Service. The interest and penalties on the deficiency dividend will not be borne by the Balanced Fund and will be reimbursed by the Administrator. As of May 31, 2014 interest and penalties are estimated to be $224,411.
As of and during the year ended November 30, 2013, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expense. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax expense as income tax expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of November 30, 2013, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties except as described above. As required, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years (for the five month period ended November 30, 2010 and the years ended November 30, 2011, November 30, 2012 and November 30, 2013) and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in these financial statements. These open tax periods and years are subject to examination by the applicable taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service. No examination of the Funds’ tax returns is presently in progress.
e) Distribution to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
f) Multiple Class Allocations - Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class of shares based on relative net assets. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan.
g) Other - Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized over their respective lives using the effective interest method.
h) 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
i) Commitments and Contingencies - In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.
j) Foreign Currency Translations – The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.
k) Forward Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund generally enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. A Fund may also enter into forward currency contracts as an investment strategy consistent with that Fund’s investment objective. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains (losses) from investments and foreign currency in the Statement of Operations, if any.

MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Compass acts as investment manager for the Funds pursuant to the terms of a management agreement between Compass and the Trust (the "Management Agreement"). Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Manager manages the investment operations of the Funds in accordance with the Funds’ investment policies and restrictions. The Manager provides the Funds with investment advice and supervision and furnishes an investment program for the Funds. As of July 19, 2013, the Funds no longer charge a management fee. The Management Fees listed for the Alternative Fund are consolidated and include the annualized fee paid to the Manager of 1.25% by the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Enhanced Volatility Weighted Fund and 1.25% by the Compass EMP Long-Short Strategies Fund for the period December 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014 and 1.05% by the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Volatility Weighted Fund for the period December 1, 2013 through March 7, 2014. The Manager pays expenses incurred by it in connection with acting as investment manager to the Funds other than costs (including taxes and brokerage commissions, borrowing costs, costs of investing in underlying funds and extraordinary expenses, (if any) of securities purchased for the Funds and certain other expenses paid by the Funds (as detailed in the Management Agreement). The Manager pays for all employees, office space and facilities required by it to provide services under the Management Agreement, with the exception of specific items of expense (as detailed in the Management Agreement).
As of the date of the report, the Manager and the Funds have entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement under which the Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses but only to the extent necessary to maintain total annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage costs; borrowing costs, such as (a) interest and (b) dividends on securities sold short; taxes; costs of investing in underlying funds; 12b-1 distribution plan and extraordinary expenses) at 0.25% of the Balanced Fund's, the Growth Fund’s and the Alternative Fund’s average daily net assets through July 31, 2015. The waived fees for the Alternative Fund are consolidated and include fees waived by the Manager limiting the operating expenses to 1.35% for the Compass EMP Long Short Strategies Fund and 1.35% for the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Enhanced Volatility Weighted Fund for the period December 1, 2013 through May 31, 2014 and 1.15% for the Compass EMP Commodity Strategies Volatility Weighted Fund for the period December 1, 2013 through March 7, 2014. Each waiver or reimbursement by the Manager is subject to repayment by the Funds within the three fiscal years following the fiscal year in which that particular expense is incurred, if the Funds are able to make the repayment without exceeding the expense limitation in effect at that time and the repayment is approved by the Board of Trustees.
For the six months ended May 31, 2014, the Manager waived management fees and recouped expenses as follows:

The Trust has adopted a Distribution Plan pursuant to rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for each class of shares that allows the Funds to pay distribution and shareholder servicing fees of up to 0.50% per annum for the Class A shares, up to 1.00% for the Class C shares and up to 0.50% for the Class T shares based on average daily net assets of each class. Class A shares are currently paying 0.25% per annum of 12b-1 fees, and this is the maximum currently authorized by the Board of Trustees. Class C shares are currently paying 1.00% per annum of 12b-1 fees. Class T shares are currently paying 0.50% per annum of 12b-1 fees. These fees may be used for a variety of purposes, including compensating dealers and other financial service organizations for eligible services provided by those parties to the Funds and their shareholders and to reimburse the Funds’ Distributor and Manager for distribution related expenses. Brokers may receive a 1.00% commission from the Distributor for the sale of Class C shares. For the six months ended May 31, 2014, the Funds incurred 12b-1 fees attributable to Class A, Class C and Class T shares as follows:
| | | | | | |

SECURITIES LENDING
The Compass EMP Funds have entered into a securities lending arrangement with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Borrower”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Funds are authorized to loan securities to the Borrower. In exchange, the Funds receive cash collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of the securities loaned. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments as noted in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Securities lending income is disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the Borrower fails to return them. The agreement provides that the Funds receive a guaranteed amount in securities lending revenue annually.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed ordinary income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and adjustments for the controlling interests from consolidated entities.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The following Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows:

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 Funds. Although the Act provides several benefits, including unlimited carryover on future capital losses, there may be greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Funds’ 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. At November 30, 2013, the Alternative Fund had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:

UNDERLYING FUND RISK
The Funds invest in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”). Each Underlying Fund, including each exchange-traded fund ("ETF"), is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the Underlying Fund. These risks could include liquidity risk, sector risk, foreign and related currency risk, as well as risks associated with real estate investments and commodities. Investors in the Funds will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the Underlying Funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses.

UNDERLYING INVESTMENT IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES
The Compass EMP Multi-Asset Growth Fund currently invests a portion of its assets in the Compass EMP US 500 Enhanced Volatility Weighted Fund (the “US 500 EVW Fund”).

EXPENSE EXAMPLES
May 31, 2014 (Unaudited)
Example
As a shareholder of a Fund you will pay ongoing expenses, such as advisory fees, distribution and service fees (12b-1), and other fund expenses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing cost (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. Please note, the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions which may be assessed by mutual funds. This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses
The columns under the heading entitled “Actual” help you estimate the actual expenses you paid over the period. The “Actual Ending Account Value” shown is derived from a Fund’s actual return, and the “Actual Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in a Fund. To estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this 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 column under the heading entitled “Actual Expenses Paid During Period”.
Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes
The columns under the heading entitled “Hypothetical” provide information about hypothetical account value and hypothetical expenses based on a 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 a Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 which may be applicable to your account. Therefore, the last column of the table (Hypothetical Expenses Paid During Period) 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.

| | Actual | | Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) |

Compass Alternative Strategies Fund – Class C | 1.25% | $1,000.00 | $1,030.50 | $ 6.36 | | $1,018.80 | $ 6.33 |
Compass Alternative Strategies Fund – Class T | 0.75% | $1,000.00 | $1,034.10 | $ 3.82 | | $1,021.31 | $ 3.80 |
