Message from the Chief Investment Officer
Dear Shareholder:
Despite many economic, political, international, earnings and market concerns during 2012 and into 2013, virtually all of the equity markets produced attractive returns for the six month period ended April 30, 2013. Buoyed by a continuation of Federal Reserve (Fed) bond buying programs, and global central banks providing excess liquidity, investors were encouraged by the flood of capital provided to the economic system. Middle and small capitalized companies led the performance derby with returns of 19.2% and 16.4% for the six month period ended April 30, 2013, as represented by the Standard & Poor’s MidCap 400 Index (S&P 400)1 and the Standard & Poor’s SmallCap 600 Index (S&P 600)2, respectively. The large caps, as represented by the Dow Jones Industrial Average3 and Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500)4, were also up 14.9% and 14.4%, respectively, for the same period ended April 30, 2013. Even the international markets provided investors with a strong rebound from the dismal double digit declines that occurred during 2011.
The most significant investment event during 2012 was the Presidential election in November. Virtually all investment strategies were based on who would win the White House. Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc. (HAA) developed two separate strategies based upon the eventual outcome. We believed that certain sectors would perform differently under the policies of the two candidates. Upon confirmation of the election, HAA moved quickly in all Huntington Funds to implement our predetermined strategy. That included reducing betas and emphasizing certain industries that would be favored under the Obama administration. Expectations regarding the tax policies associated with capital gains and dividends that had been espoused by President Obama ultimately were muted in the fiscal cliff negotiations. Those tax policies may carry positive momentum for investors in 2013 and beyond.
One of the longer term strategies that HAA employed during the year was to emphasize the agribusiness sector. With strong back-to-back years in farm income, and the dramatic and growing international demand for food, our analysts looked into a variety of avenues to uncover opportunities. The traditional approach would be to invest in farm equipment, fertilizers and seed companies. We looked deeper into the periphery of agribusiness that included investments in rural retail establishments, irrigation and flow control devices, transportation equipment and catalogue companies that cater to outdoor life. We firmly believe this strategy has longer term positive investment implications that can be implemented irrespective of Fed policy, economic issues and regulatory initiatives.
During the year, interest rates remained low due to the Fed’s monetary policy. While this policy was good for the nation to help stimulate exports and domestic consumption, it has had extremely negative implications for investors that wanted income from their investment dollars. Within its top-down investment philosophy, HAA spends considerable energy identifying trends in the markets, demographics and economy. As we developed our investment strategies relative to this macro environment, so too did we perceive a need for non-fixed income producers. Those needs by investors to replace their dwindling bond income with more robust equity-based strategies have favored the Huntington Income Generation Fund and the Huntington World Income Fund. Both these tools have helped shareholders to replace their traditional income sources with current income and with hedged volatility.
There are two major pieces of legislation that will start to have significant implications on the economy and the markets in 2013. With the drafting of Dodd-Frank provisions and the implementation of the new Patient Protection and the Affordable Care Act in 2014, there will be new costs and regulations impacting critical aspects of the economy. Just as the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act created ripples in the markets ten years ago, the banking and healthcare bills will need to be sorted out by investors. One accompaniment of the Dodd-Frank legislation will be an increase in merger and acquisition activities as smaller financial firms seek to cover costs by adding economies of scale. This was consistent with the experience of Sarbanes-Oxley as many firms merged, went private or sold out. The year following the passage of Sarbanes-Oxley saw fewer publicly traded companies than the year before, as many firms merged with significant premiums to previous valuations. This could be an interesting opportunity for 2013 strategies if past is prologue.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2013 (Unaudited)
The Huntington Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a single Delaware statutory trust on June 23, 2006. 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, 2013, the Trust operated 34 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 (“World Income Fund”) and Huntington Income Generation Fund (“Income Generation Fund”) (individually referred to as a “Fund”, or collectively as the “Funds”). The World Income Fund commenced operations on May 2, 2011. The Income Generation Fund commenced operations on August 31, 2012. The World Income Fund offers Trust and Class A shares. The Income Generation Fund offers Trust and Class C 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. Class C has a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% on shares sold within one year of purchase.
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 Funds. 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 each 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 each of the Funds by 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.
The valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds’ 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 Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The Trust recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
In computing the NAV of the Funds, 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, exchange-traded funds and closed-end funds) 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. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their respective net asset value as reported by such companies and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
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, and are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.
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. In each of these situations, valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 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 a 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. Depending on the source and relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be classified as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
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 each 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.
There can be no assurance that a 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 Funds’ 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. In the event of an increase or decrease greater than predetermined levels, the Funds may use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party to fair value its international equity securities, which are then typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, there were no Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value. The Trust recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the reporting period end. There were no transfers between all levels as of April 30, 2013.
B. | When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions |
The World Income Fund may engage in when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The World Income 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. The Funds did not own any when-issued or delayed-delivery securities as of April 30, 2013.
C. | Foreign Currency Translation |
The accounting records of the Funds 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 Funds do 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 Funds may be subject to equity price risk and foreign currency exchange risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Funds 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 Funds, including the primary underlying risk exposure related to each instrument type.
Foreign Exchange Contracts—The Funds 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 Funds 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, 2013, the Funds did not have any forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding.
Written Options Contracts—The Funds 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 Funds to equity price risk.
The following is a summary of World Income Fund’s written option activity for the six months ended April 30, 2013:
| | | | | | | | |
Contracts | | Number of Contracts | | | Premium | |
Outstanding at 10/31/2012 | | | 204 | | | $ | 17,755 | |

The following tables provide a summary of the fair value of derivative instruments, not accounted for as hedging instruments as of April 30, 2013, and the effect of derivative instruments on the Statements of Operations for the six months ended April 30, 2013.
The Fair Value of Derivative Instruments as of April 30, 2013:

The notional value of the written options contracts outstanding as of April 30, 2013, and the month-end average notional amount for the six months ended April 30, 2013, are detailed in the table below:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Average Month-End Notional Amount | | | April 30, 2013 Notional Amount | |
World Income Fund | | $ | 19,921,217 | | | $ | 16,325,800 | |
Derivative positions open during the period and at period end are reflected for each Fund in the tables above. The volume of these positions relative to each 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 Funds value 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 Funds 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 Funds 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, 2013, the Funds did not hold restricted securities.
To generate additional income, the Funds 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 pursuant to a securities lending agreement with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC and MS Securities Services, Inc. In determining whether to lend to a particular broker, dealer or financial institution, Huntington Asset Advisors, Inc., the Funds’ investment adviser, 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 Funds, based on the prior day’s closing price. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the security lending agreement. The Funds receive payments from the borrowers equivalent to the dividends and interest that would have been earned on securities on loan. In addition, the Funds lending securities receive an annual securities lending fee and retain 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 serves as the custodian and receives an annual securities lending fee for collateral monitoring and recordkeeping services.
As of April 30, 2013, the following Funds had securities with the following market values on loan:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Value of Loaned Securities | | | Value of Collateral | | | Average Loan Outstanding During the Period | | | Securities Lending Income Received by the Funds | | | Fees Paid by the Funds to Huntington from Securities Lending | |
World Income Fund | | $ | 6,232,681 | | | $ | 6,320,482 | | | $ | 5,158,668 | | | $ | 35,620 | | | $ | 6,199 | |
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 and paid monthly for the Funds. 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. tax treatment of foreign currency gain/loss, non-deductible stock issuance costs, return of capital distributions, distributions and income received from pass through investments), 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 Funds 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 Funds 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 a Fund are charged to that 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.
Costs incurred in connection with the offering and initial registration of the Funds have been deferred in conformity with GAAP and are being amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the first twelve months after commencement of operations.
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 Funds have been provided for in accordance with each applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
As of April 30, 2013, the tax cost of securities and the breakdown of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for each Fund was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Tax Cost of Securities | | | Unrealized Appreciation | | | Unrealized Depreciation | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation/ (Depreciation)* | |
World Income Fund | | $ | 44,817,219 | | | $ | 2,730,996 | | | $ | (2,354,840 | ) | | $ | 376,156 | |
Income Generation Fund | | | 2,317,873 | | | | 43,379 | | | | (6,367 | ) | | | 37,012 | |
* | The differences between the book-basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable primarily to: tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market adjustments on passive foreign investment companies and tax adjustments related to underlying investments in partnerships, grantor trusts, trust preferred securities and real estate investment trusts. |
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Distributions Paid From* | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Net Long Term Capital Gains | | | Total Taxable Distributions | | | Tax Exempt Distributions | | | Tax Return of Capital | | | Total Distributions Paid | |
World Income Fund | | $ | 1,648,814 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 1,648,814 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 245,154 | | | $ | 1,893,968 | |
Income Generation Fund | | | 3,738 | | | | — | | | | 3,738 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 3,738 | |
* | The tax character of distributions paid may differ from the character of distributions shown on the statements of changes in net assets due to short-term capital gains being treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. |
As of October 31, 2012, the components of accumulated earnings (deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Undistributed Tax Exempt Income | | | Undistributed Ordinary Income | | | Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains | | | Accumulated Earnings | | | Distributions Payable | | Accumulated Capital and Other Losses | | | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)* | | | Total Accumulated Earnings (Deficit) | |
World Income Fund | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | | | $ | (983,841 | ) | | $ | (1,243,950 | ) | | $ | (2,227,791 | ) |
Income Generation Fund | | | — | | | | 2,808 | | | | — | | | | 2,808 | | | | | | — | | | | (19,463 | ) | | | (16,655 | ) |
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Modernization Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment. One of the more prominent changes addresses capital loss carryforwards. Under the Act, each Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carryforwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous regulation.
Losses incurred that will be carried forward under the provisions of the Modernization Act are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Loss Carryforward Character | |
Fund | | Short-Term | | | Long-Term | |
World Income Fund | | $ | 883,598 | | | $ | — | |
Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax
jurisdictions, including federal (i.e. the last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). Management believes there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.
L. | New Accounting Pronouncement |
In December 2011, Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 relates to disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2013-01”). This update gives additional clarifications to ASU 2011-11. The amendments in ASU 2013-01 require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable user of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU 2013-01 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of ASU 2013-01 and its impact on the financial statements. However, management believes the adoption of these ASUs will not have a material impact on the financial statements.

(3) | Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates |

Income Generation Fund | | $ | 38,466 | | | | 2015 | |
| | $ | 56,927 | | | | 2016 | |
Administrative Fees— Huntington Asset Services, Inc. (“HASI”), an affiliate of Huntington, is the Administrator to the Trust. As Administrator, HASI provides the Funds with certain administrative services and fund accounting services. The fees
paid for these services are based on the level of average net assets of each 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 Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the terms of the Plan, the Funds will compensate qualified intermediaries for distribution services in connection with Class A Shares not to exceed 0.25% of the daily net assets of the World Income Fund’s Class A Shares and not to exceed 1.00% of the daily net assets of the Income Generation Fund’s Class C Shares.

Additionally, Income Generation Fund invests in other funds within the Trust. A summary of these investments in affiliated funds is set forth below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Income Generation Fund | | 10/31/2012 Market Value | | | Purchases | | | Sales | | | 4/30/2013 Market Value | | | Income | |

(4) | Income Generation Fund Structure |
The Income Generation Fund, in accordance with its prospectus, seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in other investment companies (“Underlying Funds”) with similar investment objectives. As a result, investors in the Income Generation Fund incur expenses of both the Income Generation Fund and Underlying Funds, including transaction costs related to the purchases and sales of Underlying Fund shares.
(5) | Investment Transactions |
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities and U.S. government securities, for the six months ended April 30, 2013, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Fund | | Purchases | | | Sales | |
World Income Fund | | $ | 21,802,784 | | | $ | 22,975,529 | |
Income Generation Fund | | | 1,282,403 | | | | 695,000 | |
The Funds made no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government securities for the six months ended April 30, 2013.
(6) | 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 Funds 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 facility fee plus any interest on amounts borrowed.

Supplemental Information (Unaudited)
Shareholder Expense Examples
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 six-month period November 1, 2012 to April 30, 2013.
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 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratios reflect reimbursement of expenses by the Funds’ Adviser for the period beginning November 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Funds’ financial statements, included in the report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such reimbursements. |
(2) | Hypothetical assumes 5% annual return before expenses. |
