Message from the Chief Investment Officer
Dear Shareholders:
On May 2, 2011, the Huntington Funds added the Huntington World Income Fund (“Fund”) to our family of funds. With many of our shareholders looking for income, whether to meet current cash flow needs or for future retirement, they often think of traditional U.S. bond yields. However, domestic bonds represent just one of many ways to generate income. We developed this innovative Fund to give our fund managers the flexibility to invest in bonds issued by governments and companies, both foreign and domestic, as they look for the most attractive yield opportunities. Unlike other income funds, this Fund also invests in dividend-paying stocks around the globe that meet stringent criteria that we believe are poised to offer consistent and/or growing dividends. In addition, the Fund invests in non-traditional investments such as bond exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”), preferred stocks and more specialized securities like Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”).
The Fund not only looks for income opportunities, but is also designed with the goal of preserving your principal. We actively manage the portfolio, making tactical allocations to international and domestic bonds, stocks and special asset classes and may employ hedges to mitigate market or specific issue volatility. The Fund is designed to help weather different economic climates, and respond to interest rate, currency and inflationary trends. I am proud to be part of a team of five portfolio managers who are knowledgeable and experienced in the financial markets across the globe. By collaborating on the Fund, we leverage the unique experience of each specialist, allowing the Fund to take advantage of what we believe are the best income opportunities, wherever they may be found.
For the six month period through April 30, 2012, the Huntington World Income Fund’s Trust Shares and Class A Shares produced total returns (not including the deduction of applicable sales charges) of 3.99% and 3.87%, respectively, based on net asset value. This performance was greater than the total return of 1.15% for the Fund’s benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Broad Market Bond Index (“GBMI”)1, for the same period, and less than the 4.11% total return for the World Income Indices Blend (“WIIB”)2, consisting of the GBMI and the MSCI All Country World Index (“MSCI ACWI”)3, for the same period.
The broader equity markets have enjoyed a healthy run that has benefitted the Fund over the last six months. The bond component held up well, but there were still some currency concerns due to the financial turmoil in Europe and the negative effect it could have on our bond portfolio, as it did the third quarter of last year. As a result of the continued global economic issues, policy makers worldwide have moved interest rates to almost historic lows, with no anticipated change anytime soon. For this reason, the Fund continued to invest more heavily in equity-based income ideas versus fixed income. Moving forward, we intend to use more hedging tools to potentially stabilize the NAV of the Fund and smooth out the Fund’s performance given the emphasis on equities. The focus of the Fund remains maximizing yield in this low current interest rate environment.
As always, Huntington Funds seeks to minimize risk and tap into vehicles that provide value to our shareholders. We appreciate your confidence and your continued investment in the Huntington World Income Fund. We invite you to visit www.huntingtonfunds.com for all you need to know about Huntington Funds. Here you will find portfolio manager videos, our quarterly economic outlook, daily commentary, real-time information on the markets, and fund performance. We are committed to managing Huntington Funds with the intent to provide performance under a disciplined and innovative investment approach. We look forward to helping you meet your long-term financial goals.
Sincerely,

B. Randolph Bateman
Chief Investment Officer

2 | The WIIB is a custom blended index comprised of the following two indices with their noted respective weightings: MSCI ACWI (50%) and GBMI (50%). |
3 | MSCI ACWI is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The MSCI ACWI consists of 45 country indices comprising 24 developed and 21 emerging market country indices. This custom blended index and its respective weightings are reflective of the Fund’s sector diversification. |
Indices are unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, are not affected by cash flows. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Total return represents the value of an investment after reinvesting all income and capital gains. Total returns for less than one year are cumulative. Returns shown are pre-tax. To receive after tax performance, please call 800-253-0412. Diversification does not assure a profit nor protect against loss in a declining market.
REITs and real-estate related securities involve special risks associated with an investment in real estate, such as limited liquidity and interest rate risks and may be more volatile than other securities. In addition, the value of REITs and other real estate-related investments is sensitive to changes in real estate values, extended vacancies of properties and other environmental and economic factors. MLPs concentrate investments in the natural resource sector and are subject to the risks of energy prices and demand and the volatility of commodity investments. Damage to facilities and infrastructure of MLPs may significantly affect the value of an investment and may incur environmental costs and liabilities due to the nature of their business. MLPs are subject to significant regulation and may be adversely affected by changes in the regulatory environment.
MLPs are subject certain risks inherent in the structure of MLPs, including complex tax structure risks, the limited ability for election or removal of management, limited voting rights, potential dependence on parent companies or sponsors for revenues to satisfy obligations, and potential conflicts of interest between partners, members and affiliates.
ETFs generally present the same primary risks as investments in conventional funds (i.e., one that is not exchange traded) that have the same investment objectives, strategies and policies. The price of an ETF can fluctuate up or down, and the Fund could lose money investing in an ETF if the prices of the securities owned by the ETF go down. In addition, ETFs may be subject to the following risks that do not apply to conventional funds: (i) the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade above or below their net asset value; (ii) an active trading market for an ETF’s shares may not develop or be maintained; or (iii) trading of an ETF’s shares may be halted if the listing exchange’s officials deem such action appropriate, the shares are delisted from the exchange, or the activation of market-wide “circuit breakers” (which are tied to large decreases in stock prices) halts stock trading generally.
International investing involves special risks including currency risk, political risk, increased volatility of foreign securities, and differences in auditing and other financial standards. In addition, prices of emerging markets securities can be significantly more volatile than the prices of securities in developed countries.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
The Huntington Funds (the “Trust”) was originally two separate Massachusetts business trusts: The Huntington Funds, established on February 10, 1987, and Huntington VA Funds, established on June 30, 1999 (together, the “Original Trusts”). On June 23, 2006, the Original Trusts were reorganized into a single Delaware statutory trust retaining the name of The Huntington Funds. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. As of April 30, 2012, the Trust operated 37 separate series, or mutual funds, each with its own investment objective and strategy. The prospectus provides a description of each fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies along with information on the classes of shares currently being offered. This report contains financial statements and financial highlights of the Huntington World Income Fund (the “Fund” or “World Income Fund”), which commenced operations on May 2, 2011. The Fund offers Trust and Class A shares. Each class of shares has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) and service fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, exchange privileges of each class of shares and sales charges. The price at which the Fund will offer or redeem shares is the net asset value (“NAV”) per share next determined after the order is considered received, subject to any applicable front end or contingent deferred sales charges. Class A has a maximum sales charge on purchases of 4.75% as a percentage of the original purchase price.
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Board of Trustees (“Trustees”) are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust. However, based on experience, the Trust expects that risk of loss to be remote.
(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. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Trust calculates the NAV for the Fund valuing securities held based on fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that
would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In computing the NAV of the Fund, fair value is based on market valuations with respect to portfolio securities for which market quotations are readily available. Pursuant to Trustee-approved policies, the Trust relies on certain security pricing services to provide the current market value of securities. Those security pricing services value equity securities (including foreign equity securities) traded on a securities exchange at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. Equity securities quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and in the case of over-the-counter securities, equity securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. Option contracts are generally valued using the closing price based on quote data from the six major U.S. options exchanges on which such options are traded.
Debt securities traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price on the principal exchange. If there is no reported sale on the principal exchange, and for all other debt securities, debt securities are valued at a bid price estimated by the security pricing service. Foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated in U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rate in effect as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time), on the day the value of the foreign security is determined. Short-term investments with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at NAV.
Under certain circumstances, a good faith determination of the fair value of a security may be used instead of its current market value, even if the security’s market price is readily available. In such circumstances, the Trust’s Sub-Administrator may request that the Trust’s Pricing Committee make its own fair value determination.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value under Trust procedures approved by the Trustees. In these cases, a Pricing Committee established and appointed by the Trustees determines in good faith, subject to Trust procedures, the fair value of portfolio securities held by the Fund (“good faith fair valuation”). When a good faith fair valuation of a security is required, consideration is generally given to a number of factors including, but not limited to the following: dealer quotes, published analyses by dealers or analysts regarding the security, transactions which provide implicit valuation of the security (such as a merger or tender offer transaction), the value of other securities or contracts which derive their value from the security at issue, and the implications of any other circumstances which have caused trading in the security to

halt. With respect to certain narrow categories of securities, the procedures utilized by the Pricing Committee detail specific valuation methodologies to be applied in lieu of considering the aforementioned list of factors.
Fair valuation procedures are also used when a significant event affecting the value of a portfolio security is determined to have occurred between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE, which is when the Fund’s NAV is computed. An event is considered significant if there is both an affirmative expectation that the security’s value will change in response to the event and a reasonable basis for quantifying the resulting change in value. Significant events include significant securities market movements occurring between the time the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For domestic fixed income securities, such events may occur where the cut-off time for the market information used by the independent pricing service is earlier than the end of regular trading on the NYSE. For securities normally priced at their last sale price in a foreign market, such events can occur between the close of trading in the foreign market and the close of trading on the NYSE.
In some cases, events affecting the issuer of a portfolio security may be considered significant events. Examples of potentially significant events include announcements concerning earnings, acquisitions, new products, management changes, litigation developments, a strike or natural disaster affecting the company’s operations or regulatory changes or market developments affecting the issuer’s industry occurring between the time when the price of the portfolio security is determined and the close of trading on the NYSE. For securities of foreign issuers, such events could also include political or other developments affecting the economy or markets in which the issuer conducts its operations or its securities are traded.
The Fund’s Trustees have authorized the use of an independent fair valuation service to monitor changes in a designated U.S. market index after foreign markets close, and to implement a fair valuation methodology to adjust the closing prices of foreign securities if the movement in the index is significant.
There can be no assurance that the Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate the Fund’s NAV. In the case of good faith fair valued portfolio securities, lack of information and uncertainty as to the significance of information may lead to a conclusion that a prior valuation is the best indication of a portfolio security’s present value. Good faith fair valuations generally remain unchanged until new information becomes available. Consequently, changes in good faith fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations.
The valuation techniques described above maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Fund’s investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• | | Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. |
• | | Level 2—other significant observable inputs (including 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 the fair value of investments). |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
Pursuant to the valuation procedures noted previously, equity securities (including foreign equity securities) are generally recognized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy (unless there is a fair valuation event, in which case affected securities are generally categorized as Level 2 securities). Option securities are generally recognized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Debt securities are generally recognized as Level 2 securities in the fair value hierarchy. Mutual funds, exchange traded funds and cash equivalents are generally recognized as Level 1 securities in the fair value hierarchy (unless there is a fair valuation event, in which case affected securities are generally categorized as Level 2 securities).

For the six months ended April 30, 2012, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value. The Trust recognizes significant transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no significant transfers between all levels as of April 30, 2012.
B. | When-Issued and Delayed Transactions |
The Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Fund records when-issued securities on the trade date and maintains security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.
C. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange each business day to determine the value of investments, and other assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of foreign securities, and income and expenses, are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuation arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currency transactions.
The Fund may be subject to equity price risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Fund may invest in various
financial instruments including positions in foreign currency contracts and written option contracts to gain exposure to or hedge against changes in the value of equities or foreign currencies. The following is a description of the derivative instruments utilized by the Fund, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Foreign Exchange Contracts—The Fund may enter into forward foreign exchange contracts. A forward foreign exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Such contracts are used to sell unwanted currency exposure that comes with holding securities in a market, or to buy currency exposure where the exposure from holding securities is insufficient to provide the desired currency exposure. The contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When a forward foreign currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in exchange rates. At April 30, 2012 the Fund did not have any forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding.
Written Options Contracts—The Fund may write options contracts for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. Investing in written options contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Derivative positions open during the period and at period end are reflected for the Fund in the tables above. The volume of these positions relative to the Fund’s net assets at the close of the reporting period is generally higher than the volume of such positions at the beginning of the reporting period. The Fund values derivative instruments at fair value and recognize changes in fair value currently in the results on operations.
Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by the Fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid. The Fund will not incur any registration costs upon such resale. The Fund’s restricted securities are valued at the price provided by dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value price as determined by the Trust’s Pricing Committee. At April 30, 2012, the Fund did not hold restricted securities.
To generate additional income, the Fund may lend a certain percentage of their total assets, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or the rules or regulations thereunder, on a short-term basis to certain brokers, dealers or other financial institutions. In determining whether to lend to a particular
broker, dealer or financial institution, the Advisor will consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including the size, creditworthiness and reputation of the borrower. Any loans made will be continuously secured by collateral in cash at least equal to 100% of the value of the securities on loan for the Fund, based on the prior day’s closing price. The Fund receives payments from the borrower’s equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities on loan. In addition, the Fund lending securities receives an annual securities lending fee and retains a portion of the interest, dividends and other distributions received on investment of cash collateral. Collateral is marked-to-market daily. One of the risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of credit, is the possible delay in recovery of the securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower fail financially. Although the loan is fully collateralized, if a borrower defaults, a Fund could lose money. There is also the risk that, when lending portfolio securities, the securities may not be available to a Fund on a timely basis and a Fund may, therefore, lose the opportunity to sell the securities at a desirable price. In addition, in the event that a borrower of securities would file for bankruptcy or become insolvent, disposition of the securities may be delayed pending court action. Loans are subject to termination by the Funds or the borrower at any time and, therefore, are not considered to be illiquid investments. Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”) serves as the custodian for the securities lending. Pursuant to the Master Securities Loan Agreement, Huntington receives an annual securities lending fee for collateral monitoring and recordkeeping services.
As of April 30, 2012, the Fund had securities with the following market values on loan:
| | | | | | |
Value of Loaned Securities | | Value of Collateral | | Average Loan Outstanding During the Period | | Income Received by Huntington from Securities Lending |
$2,728,883 | | $2,787,822 | | $1,715,120 | | $1,042 |
As of April 30, 2012, cash collateral invested was as follows:
|
Fidelity Institutional Money Market Portfolio, Institutional Class |
$2,787,822 |
G. | Security Transactions and Related Income |
During the period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the NAV on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities. Securities gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income and expenses are accrued daily. Dividends, less foreign tax withholding (if any), are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
H. | Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders |
Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the Fund. Dividends are declared separately for each class. No class has preferential rights; differences in
per share dividend rates are generally due to differences in separate class expenses. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed at least annually. The amount of dividends from net investment income and net realized gains are determined in accordance with the federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g. foreign currency gain/loss, paydowns, distributions and income received from pass through investments, and net investment loss adjustments), such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their nature for federal income tax purposes; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary differences are primarily due to market discounts, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales, straddles, and return of capital from investments.

The Fund may own shares of real estate investments trusts (“REITs”) which report information on the source of their distributions annually. Distributions received from investments in REITs in excess of income from underlying investments are recorded as realized gain and/or as a reduction to the cost of the individual REIT.
The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), which generally are treated as partnerships for Federal income tax purposes. As a limited partner in the MLPs, the Fund includes its allocable share of the MLPs’ taxable income in computing its own taxable income.
I. | Allocation of Expenses, Income, and Gains and Losses |
Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses specific to a class are charged to that class. Expenses not directly attributable to the Fund are allocated proportionally among various funds or all funds within the Trust in relation to the net assets of each fund or on another reasonable basis. Income and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
It is the policy of the Fund to qualify or continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Withholding taxes on foreign interest, dividends and capital gains with respect to the Fund have been provided for in accordance with each applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
As of April 30, 2012, the cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for the Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Tax Cost of Securities | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)* | |
$37,171,235 | | $ | 952,793 | | | $ | (1,398,884 | ) | | $ | (446,091 | ) |
* | The differences between the book-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) are attributable primarily to: tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the differences between book and tax amortization methods for premium and market discount, and the return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts. |
Capital losses generated during the six months ending April 30, 2012, will be subject to the provisions of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010. Effective for taxable years beginning after the enactment date of the Act, if capital losses are not reduced by capital gains during the fiscal year, the losses will be carried forward with no expiration and with the short-term or long-term character of the loss retained. Capital loss carryforwards generated in future years must be fully utilized before those capital loss carryforwards listed with noted expiration dates in the table above.
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal. Management believes there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
Management has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Based on this evaluation, no disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements.
(3) | Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates |
Investment Advisory Fee—Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”), a subsidiary of The Huntington National Bank (“Huntington”), serves as the Fund’s investment advisor. The Fund pays the Advisor a fee for its services of 0.50% of its average daily net assets, computed daily and paid monthly.
Huntington and the Advisor may also pay out of their reasonable profits and other resources (including those of their affiliates) advertising, marketing, and other expenses for the benefit of the Fund.
Administrative Fees—Huntington is the Administrator to the Trust, and Huntington Asset Services, Inc. (“HASI”), an affiliate of Huntington, is the Sub-Administrator. As Administrator, Huntington provides the Fund with certain administrative services. As Sub-Administrator, HASI provides the Fund with certain administrative personnel, and generally assists with the provision of administrative services necessary to operate the Fund. The Administrator pays the Sub-Administrator a fee for the services it provides to the Trust. Huntington also provides portfolio accounting services to the Fund. Huntington has sub-contracted certain fund accounting services to HASI. HASI is paid directly by Huntington, not the Fund, for these services. The fees paid for administrative and sub-administrative services are based on the level of average net assets of the Fund for the period, subject to minimum fees in certain circumstances.
| | |
Maximum Administrative Fee | | Average Daily Net Assets of the Trust |
0.1822% | | On the first $4 billion |
0.1650% | | On the next $2 billion |
0.1575% | | On the next $2 billion |
0.1450% | | On assets in excess of $8 billion |
There is no minimum annual fee per fund or class of shares.
Distribution and Shareholder Services Fees—The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Fund will compensate qualified intermediaries for distribution services in connection with Class A Shares at 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund’s Class A Shares. Trust Shares are not subject to Rule 12b-1 fees. Class A Shares and Trust Shares are also subject to a shareholder services fee at 0.25%

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
of the daily net assets of such shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, Huntington and its affiliates received $34,847 in shareholder service fees from the Fund. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, Unified Financial Securities, Inc., the Fund’s distributor, received underwriter commissions of $1,509 earned on sales of Class A Shares. For the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Fund paid $3,118 to affiliated broker-dealers of the Fund.
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent Fees and Expense—HASI is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. For its services, HASI receives a yearly fixed amount per shareholder account, subject to a yearly minimum fee of $12,000 for the Fund. HASI is also entitled to receive additional amounts that may be activity or time-based charges, plus reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses.
Custodian Fees—Huntington serves as custodian for the Fund. Brown Brothers Harriman serves as sub-custodian for the Fund’s foreign assets. Huntington and Brown Brothers Harriman receive fees based on the level of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the period, plus out-of-pocket expenses.
Compliance Services—The Trust has contracted with Huntington to provide a Chief Compliance Officer to the Trust, for which it pays Huntington $135,188 annually.
General—Certain officers of the Trust are Officers, Directors and/or Trustees of the above companies.
Trustees and Officers affiliated with the Advisor are not compensated by the Trust for their services. Each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act, receives a $25,000 annual retainer plus $2,500 per regular Board meeting. The Independent Chairman of the Board receives a $40,000 annual retainer plus $2,500 per Board meeting. The Board or a Committee may establish ad hoc committees or sub-committees. Any Committee or sub-committee member may be compensated by the Fund for incremental work outside of the regular meeting process based on the value added to the Fund. In addition, the Fund reimburses Trustees who are not employees of or affiliated with the Advisor for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in conjunction with attendance at meetings. For the period ended April 30, 2012, actual Trustee compensation was $966 in aggregate from the Fund.
Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may invest in a certain affiliated money market fund which is managed by the Advisor. Income distributions earned from investments in this fund are recorded as income from affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. A summary of the Fund’s investment in such affiliated money market fund (Huntington Money Market Fund) is set forth below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
10/31/2011 Market Value | | Purchases | | | Sales | | | 04/30/2012 Market Value | | | Income | |
$416,133 | | $ | 18,035,272 | | | $ | (18,255,647 | ) | | $ | 195,758 | | | $ | 52 | |
(4) | Investment Transactions |
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities and U.S. government securities, for the six months ended April 30, 2012, were as follows:
| | | | |
Purchases | | Sales | |
$24,113,535 | | $ | 11,594,993 | |
The Fund made no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities for the six months ended April 30, 2012.
(5) | Foreign Investment Risk |
Compared with investing in the United States, investing in foreign markets involves a greater degree and variety of risk. Investors in international or foreign markets may face delayed settlements, currency controls and adverse economic developments as well as higher overall transaction costs. In addition, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar’s value versus other currencies may erode or reverse gains from investments denominated in foreign currencies or widen losses. Foreign governments may expropriate assets, imposed capital or currency controls, impose punitive taxes, impose limits on ownership or nationalize a company or industry. Any of these actions could have severe effect on security prices and impair the Fund’s ability to bring its capital or income back to the U.S. Exchange rate fluctuations also may impair an issuer’s ability to repay U.S. dollar denominated debt, thereby increasing credit risk of such debt. Finally, the value of foreign securities may be affected by incomplete, less frequent or inaccurate financial information about their issuers, social upheavals or political actions ranging from tax code changes to government collapse. Foreign companies may also receive less coverage than U.S. companies by market analysts, and financial reporting standards or regulatory requirements may not be comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies.
The Trust participates in a short-term credit agreement (“Line of Credit”) with Citibank N.A. (“Citi”). Under the terms of the agreement, the Trust may borrow up to $20 million. The purpose of the agreement is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs, including redemption requests that might otherwise require the untimely disposition of securities. Citi receives an annual facility fee of 0.10% on $20 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Trust pays a pro-rata portion of this commitment fee plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period ended April 30, 2012, Citi earned approximately $1,006 of interest for the Line of Credit fee from the Trust. The World Income Fund did not utilize the Line of Credit during the period ended April 30, 2012. As of April 30, 2012, the World Income Fund had no loan outstanding with Citi.

Fund Expenses—As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are 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.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period November 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012.
Actual Expenses—The “Actual” lines of the table provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information on this line for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” 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 “Hypothetical” lines of the table provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios for each class of shares and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund’s actual returns. 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 the 5% hypothetical examples 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. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” lines of the table are 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.

(1) | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratios, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratios reflect reimbursement of expenses by the Fund’s Adviser for the period beginning November 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in the report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such reimbursements. |
(2) | Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses. |
