                             MASTER-FEEDER STRUCTURE

The Fund  operates  under a  master-feeder  structure.  This means that the Fund
seeks to achieve its  investment  objective by investing  all of its  investable
assets in the Money Market  Portfolio of the AMR Investment  Services Trust. The
Portfolio is a separate mutual fund managed by AMR Investment Services, Inc. The
investment  objective and strategies of the Portfolio are substantially the same
as the Fund.  Throughout this Prospectus,  statements regarding investments made
by the Fund refer to investments made by the Portfolio.

                               RISK/RETURN SUMMARY

Objective and Principal Strategies.

The Fund's investment objective is current income,  liquidity and maintenance of
a stable price of $1.00 per share. To achieve this objective,  we invest only in
high quality  short-term  money market  instruments  that present minimal credit
risks,  as  determined  by the  Portfolio's  investment  adviser  subject to the
oversight and review of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees.  Generally,  the Fund
will only purchase money market  instruments  that mature in thirteen  months or
less, although instruments subject to repurchase agreements and certain variable
and floating rate obligations may have longer final maturities. The Fund intends
to maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less.

The  Fund  invests   primarily  in  high  quality  corporate  debt  obligations,
securities  of the U.S.  Government,  its  agencies  or  instrumentalities,  and
obligations  of financial  institutions.  Debt  obligations  include  commercial
paper,  which are short term  promissory  notes issued by domestic  companies to
finance current obligations.  Notes, bonds, variable amount master demand notes,
mortgage-backed  and  asset-backed  securities,  and variable and floating  rate
securities  are  also  forms of debt  obligations.  U.S.  Government  securities
include direct  obligations of the U.S.  Treasury,  such as U.S. Treasury bills,
notes  and  bonds,  as well as bonds and notes of U.S.  government  agencies  or
instrumentalities.

The Fund invests more than 25% of its total assets in obligations  issued by the
banking industry. However, for temporary defensive purposes when the Portfolio's
investment   adviser  believes  that  maintaining  this   concentration  may  be
inconsistent with the best interests of shareholders,  the Fund may not maintain
this concentration.

Obligations  of  financial  institutions  include  negotiable   certificates  of
deposit, bankers' acceptances, time deposits and other obligations of large U.S.
banks. The Fund invests from time to time in U.S. dollar-denominated  Eurodollar
and  Yankeedollar  bank  obligations  as well as other  U.S.  dollar-denominated
obligations of foreign banks, foreign corporations and foreign governments.

The  Fund's  Board of  Trustees  may change the  objective  of the Fund  without
shareholder approval.  The Fund will notify you if there is any material change.
If there is a change in the  objective,  you should  consider  whether  the Fund
would  continue to be the right  investment  for you. There is no guarantee that
the Fund will meet its objective.

 Side Bar


SHARE PRICE

Like all money market  funds,  the Fund will make every effort to maintain a net
asset value of $1 per share. There can be no guarantee that the Fund will always
be able to do so.

PORTFOLIO MATURITY
The maturity date is the date that the principal amount of the notes, drafts, or
other debt  instruments are due and payable.  A money market Fund's portfolio is
appropriately  weighted and adjusted to ensure that the portfolio  always has an
average maturity of 90 days or less.

HIGH QUALITY

High quality money market instruments include those that are:

        1. Rated in the highest rating  category for short-term debt (by any two
           nationally  recognized  statistical  rating  organizations,  or by
           one rating organization if only one has issued a rating) , or
       2.  Unrated and determined by the Fund's Advisor to be of comparable
           quality,  subject to the oversight and review of the Portfolio's
           Board of Trustees.



<PAGE>


                                 PRINCIPAL RISKS

All  investments  involve  risk,  and the Fund's  principal  risks are described
below.  To limit these risks,  we invest only in  high-quality  securities  with
short maturities (no more than thirteen months).

An investment  in the Fund is not insured or  guaranteed by the Federal  Deposit
Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to
preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in the Fund.

Interest  Rate Risk. A money market  fund's  yield  changes as current  interest
rates change.  When interest  rates are low, the Fund's yield (and total return)
will also be low. The longer the average  maturity of the securities held by the
Fund, the more sensitive the Fund will be to interest rate changes.

Prepayment Risk. During periods of declining interest rates, prepayment of loans
underlying  mortgage-backed  and asset-backed  securities  usually  accelerates.
Prepayment may shorten the effective maturities of these securities and the Fund
may have to reinvest at a lower interest rate.

Credit Risk. The issuer of a security in the Fund's portfolio may default on its
payment  obligation,  which could cause the Fund's share price or yield to fall.
The Fund could also be negatively  affected if investors lose  confidence in the
issuer's ability to pay back its debt.

Government  Risk.  It is  possible  that the U.S.  Government  would not provide
financial support to its agencies or  instrumentalities if it is not required to
do so by law. If a U.S.  Government agency or  instrumentality in which the Fund
invests  defaults and the U.S.  Government does not stand behind the obligation,
the Fund's share price or yield could fall.

Management  Risk. If the Portfolio's  investment  adviser  incorrectly  predicts
interest rate trends, the Fund could underperform compared to other money market
funds..

Foreign Risk. The Fund's  investments in foreign  securities involve certain
additional risks. For example, foreign banks and companies generally are not
subject to regulatory  requirements  comparable to those  applicable to U.S.
banks and companies.  In addition,  political and economic  developments may
adversely affect the value of the Fund's foreign  securities.  In all cases,
however, we invest only in U.S. dollar-denominated securities.

Counter-Party  Risk.  The  Fund  may  use  repurchase   agreements,   which  are
transactions in which the Fund purchases  securities and simultaneously  commits
to resell the securities to the seller at an agreed-upon price on an agreed upon
future date. If the seller of the securities  (the  Counter-Party)  fails to pay
the agreed resale price on the agreed  delivery date, the Fund could incur costs
in selling the collateral.

HOW THE FUND HAS PERFORMED

Although  past  performance  of a fund is no guarantee of how it will perform in
the future,  historical  performance may give you some indication of the risk of
investing in the fund because it  demonstrates  how its returns have varied over
time. The Bar Chart and Performance  Table that would  otherwise  appear in this
prospectus  have been  omitted  because the Fund is recently  organized  and has
annual returns of less than one year.



<PAGE>


                             FUND FEES AND EXPENSES

This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold
shares of the Fund.1

Shareholder Fees2 (fees paid directly from your investment) - NONE

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that are deducted from Fund assets)

Management Fees..........................................0.10%
Distribution (12b-1) Fees................................0.75%
Other Expenses3..........................................0.20%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses.....................1.05%

1  The expense table and the example below reflect the expenses of both the Fund
   and the Portfolio.

2  Shares may be purchased  and sold  through  certain  financial  institutions.
   These institutions may charge transaction or other fees.

3  Other  expenses are based on  estimated  amounts for the current  year.  They
   consist of an annual  administration fee paid to the Fund's adviser of 0.20%.
   The Fund estimates that the remaining other expenses paid by the Fund will be
   less than 0.005% of average net assets for the current fiscal year.

Example: This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investment
in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

This example  assumes  that you invest  $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods
indicated , reinvest your  dividends and  distributions,  and then redeem all of
your shares at the end of those  periods.  The Example  also  assumes  that your
investment  has a 5% return  each year and that the  Fund's  operating  expenses
remain the same.  Although  your actual  costs may be higher or lower,  based on
these assumptions your costs would be:

         1 year            3 years
         ------            -------
           $108              $336

Side Bar

Fees:

Management  fees:  fees paid to the  investment  adviser for managing the Fund's
assets. The Portfolio's  investment adviser receives the management fees for the
periods that the Fund invests in the Portfolio.  The Fund's  investment  adviser
receives  the  management  fees for the periods that the Fund does not invest in
the Portfolio or another master fund.

Distribution   fees:  fees  paid  to  the  Fund's  distributor  for  maintaining
shareholder  accounts,  providing  information  for  prospective  investors  and
account maintenance.

Other expenses:  expenses incurred by the Fund for  miscellaneous  items such as
custody,  administration  and registration fees. Unlike most other mutual funds,
the  Fund's  investment  adviser  pays the  Fund's  other  expenses  (with a few
exceptions).

                                  DISTRIBUTIONS

The Fund pays dividends to shareholders  from net investment income every month.
Although the Fund is not likely to receive capital gains because of the types of
securities purchased,  any received will be distributed to shareholders at least
once a year.

For your convenience,  we automatically  reinvest dividends and capital gains in
the Fund. If you want  distributions in cash, simply mark the appropriate box on
your account application and we will send you a check instead of purchasing more
shares of the Fund. You will receive  confirmation that shows the payment amount
and a summary  of all  transactions.  Checks are  normally  mailed  within  five
business days of the payment date.

                             SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION

Purchasing Shares

You may  purchase  shares of the Fund with an initial  investment  of $2,500 and
additional  investments  of as little as $50. You can also choose to participate
in the automatic  investment  program with  automatic  purchases in an amount as
little as $50.  Your price for Fund  shares is the  Fund's  net asset  value per
share ("NAV") next calculated after receiving your order in proper form. The NAV
is based on the  value of the  Fund's  investments  (using  the  amortized  cost
method).  These  investments are priced based on their current market value. The
Fund is not open, and NAV is not calculated, on each day that the New York Stock
Exchange is closed for  business,  and on Columbus  Day and Veterans  Day.  When
market quotations are not readily available,  the investments are priced at fair
value as determined by the Portfolio's  investment adviser subject to the review
of the Portfolio's Board of Trustees.

Selling shares

Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received
in proper order by the Fund's  transfer  agent.  You may receive your payment by
check or  federal  wire  transfer.  The  proceeds  may be more or less  than the
payment by check or federal wire transfer. The proceeds may be more or less than
the  purchase  price  of your  shares.  Presently  there is no  charge  for wire
redemptions.  The Fund  reserves  the right to charge  for this  service  in the
future.

Side Bar

Net Asset Value- This is the price per share of a mutual fund. NAV is calculated
as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 p.m.,  Eastern Time). It is
determined by taking the net assets of the Fund (assets -  liabilities)  divided
by the total number of fund shares outstanding.

A money market fund uses the amortized cost method for valuing securities, which
normally approximates market value, and is intended to result in an NAV of $1.00
per share at all times.

Proper  Order - When  buying and  selling  shares,  proper  order means that all
required  documents are properly  completed,  signed and received by the Fund or
its agents.

temporary purposes,  the Fund may borrow amounts of up to one third of its total
assets.  These strategies and their related risks are described in detail in the
Statement of Additional Information.

            ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE MASTER-FEEDER STRUCTURE

         The Fund is a "feeder" fund that invests all of its  investable  assets
in a  "master"  fund  with the same  investment  objective.  The  "master"  fund
purchases  securities  for  investment.  The  master-feeder  structure  works as
follows:

           --------------------------------------------------
           Investor
           --------------------------------------------------
           ~/            purchases shares of
           --------------------------------------------------
           Feeder Fund
           --------------------------------------------------
           ~/            which invests in
           --------------------------------------------------
           Master Fund
           --------------------------------------------------
           ~/            which buys
           --------------------------------------------------
           Investment Securities
           --------------------------------------------------

         The Fund can withdraw its  investment  in the  Portfolio at any time if
the  Board  determines  that it is in the  best  interest  of the  Fund  and its
shareholders  to do so. If this  happens,  the Fund's  assets  will be  invested
according  to  the  investment  policies  and  restrictions  described  in  this
Prospectus.


<PAGE>


                                      TAXES

As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in the Fund will
be taxed. If your account is not a tax-deferred  retirement account,  you should
be aware of these tax consequences.  For federal tax purposes, the Fund's income
and  short-term  capital gain  distributions  are taxed as dividends;  long-term
capital  gain   distributions   are  taxed  as  long-term  capital  gains.  Your
distributions  may also be subject to state  income tax. The  distributions  are
taxable when they are paid,  whether you take them in cash or participate in the
dividend  reinvestment  program.  Each  January,  the Fund  will mail you a form
indicating   the  federal  tax  status  of  your   dividend   and  capital  gain
distributions.

All shareholders  must provide the Fund with a correct  taxpayer  identification
number  (generally  your Social  Security  Number) and certify  that you are not
subject to backup  withholding.  If you fail to do so, the IRS can  require  the
Fund to withhold 31% of your taxable distributions and redemptions.  Federal law
also requires the Funds to withhold 30% of the  applicable  tax treaty rate from
dividends paid to certain  non-resident  alien,  non-US partnership and non-U.S.
corporation shareholder accounts.

Please see the statement of additional  information and your own tax adviser for
further information.

                            DESCRIPTION OF THE CLASS

This prospectus  offers shares of the Pinnacle shares, a class of The Cash Fund.
These  shares are regular  retail  shares and may be purchased  through  certain
broker-dealers.  This class pays the 12b-1 fees and shar holder  servicing  fees
described below. The Fund may offer other classes of shares.

                            DISTRIBUTION (12b-1) FEES

The Fund has  adopted  a plan  under  rule  12b-1  that  allows  the Fund to pay
distribution and other fees for the sale and  distribution of its shares.  These
12b-1 fees may not exceed 0.75% per year.  All or a  substantial  portion of the
12b-1 fees are paid to the dealer of record.  Because the distribution  fees are
paid out of the Fund's  assets on an on-going  basis,  over time these fees will
increase  the cost of your  investment  and may cost you more than paying  other
types of sales charges.

                                 SERVICING FEES

The Fund has  adopted  a plan  that  allows  the Fund to pay  certain  financial
institutions  (which may include  banks,  securities  dealers and other industry
professionals)  a servicing  fee for services  provided to  shareholders.  These
servicing fees may not exceed 0.25% per year.  There is no present  intention to
charge the Pinnacle  shares a servicing  fee.  Shareholders  will be notified in
advance if a servicing fee will be charged.

Side Bar

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 made certain changes to capital gains tax rates.
Under the law, taxpayers in all brackets will have an advantage when it comes to
capital  gains tax rates.  The Fund will  provide  information  relating  to the
portion of any Fund  distribution that is eligible for the reduced capital gains
tax rate.

ABOUT THE FUND

         The Cash Fund (the "Fund") was organized as a series of the  AmeriPrime
Funds (the  "Trust") on February  2, 1999.  The Trust is an open-end  investment
company  established  under the laws of Ohio by an Agreement and  Declaration of
Trust dated August 8, 1995 (the "Trust Agreement").  The Trust Agreement permits
the Trustees to issue an unlimited  number of shares of  beneficial  interest of
separate  series  without  par  value.  The  Fund is one of a  series  of  funds
currently authorized by the Trustees.

         Any  Trustee of the Trust may be  removed  by vote of the  shareholders
holding not less than  two-thirds of the  outstanding  shares of the Trust.  The
Trust  does not  hold an  annual  meeting  of  shareholders.  When  matters  are
submitted to shareholders  for a vote, each  shareholder is entitled to one vote
for each whole share he owns and fractional votes for fractional shares he owns.
All shares of the Fund have equal voting rights and liquidation rights. Prior to
the public offering of the Fund, AmeriPrime Financial Securities, Inc. purchased
for  investment all of the  outstanding  shares of the Fund and may be deemed to
control the Fund.

         Each share of a series  represents an equal  proportionate  interest in
the assets and  liabilities  belonging to that series.  Each other share of that
series is entitled to dividends and distributions out of income belonging to the
series as are declared by the Trustees. The shares do not have cumulative voting
rights or any preemptive or conversion rights.  Trustees have the authority from
time to time to divide or combine  the  shares of any  series  into a greater or
lesser number of shares of that series, so long as, the proportionate beneficial
interest in the assets  belonging to that series and the rights of shares of any
other series are in no way  affected.  In case of any  liquidation  of a series,
shareholders  of the series  being  liquidated  will be entitled to receive as a
group, a distribution out of the assets,  net of the  liabilities,  belonging to
that series.  Expenses  attributable to any series are borne by that series. Any
general  expenses  of the Trust  not  readily  identifiable  as  belonging  to a
particular  series are  allocated  by or under the  direction of the Trustees in
such manner as the Trustees  determine to be fair and equitable.  No shareholder
is liable to further  calls or to  assessment  by the Trust  without  his or her
express consent.

MASTER-FEEDER  STRUCTURE.  As of  the  date  of  this  Statement  of  Additional
Information, the Fund employs a master-feeder structure and seeks to achieve its
investment  objective by investing all of its investable assets in the Portfolio
(the  "Portfolio")  of the AMR  Investment  Services  Trust  (the "AMR  Trust").
Accordingly,  the Portfolio directly acquires portfolio  securities and the Fund
acquires an indirect interest in those  securities.  The assets of the Portfolio
belong only to, and the  liabilities  of the  Portfolio are borne solely by, the
Portfolio and no other series of the AMR Trust.

         The   Fund's   investment   in  the   Portfolio   is  in  the  form  of
non-transferable  beneficial  interests.  All  investors in the  Portfolio  will
invest on the same terms and  conditions and will pay a  proportionate  share of
the  Portfolio's  expenses.  The Portfolio does not sell its shares  directly to
members of the general public.  Other investors in the Portfolio,  such as other
investment  companies  that  might  sell  their  shares to the  public,  are not
required to sell their shares at the same public offering price as the Fund, and
could  have  different  advisory  and  other  fees and  expenses  than the Fund.
Therefore,  the Fund's shareholders may have different returns than shareholders
in other investment companies that invest in the Portfolio.

CERTAIN  RISKS OF  INVESTING  IN THE  PORTFOLIO.  The Fund's  investment  in the
Portfolio  may be  affected  by the  actions  of other  large  investors  in the
Portfolio.  For example,  if the Portfolio has a large  investor  other than the
Fund that redeems its interest,  the Portfolio's  remaining investors (including
the Fund) might,  as a result,  experience  higher pro rata operating  expenses,
thereby  producing  lower  returns.  As  there  may be  other  investors  in the
Portfolio,  there can be no assurance that any issue that receives a majority of
the votes cast by the Fund's  shareholders will receive a majority of votes cast
by all investors in the Portfolio.  Other investors  holding a majority interest
in the  Portfolio  could  have  voting  control of the  Portfolio.  The Fund may
withdraw its entire  investment from the Portfolio at any time if the AmeriPrime
Advisors Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Trust's  Board")  determines that it is
in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Fund might withdraw,
for example,  if there were other  investors in the Portfolio with power to, and
who did by a vote of all investors  (including the Fund),  change the investment
objective or policies of the Portfolio in a manner not acceptable to the Trust's
Board.  A  withdrawal  could  result  in a  distribution  in kind  of  portfolio
securities  (as  opposed  to  a  cash  distribution)  by  the  Portfolio.   That
distribution could result in a smaller less diversified portfolio of investments
for the Fund.  This could in turn increase the Fund's expense ratio,  and result
in lower returns for the Fund's investors.  If the Fund decided to convert those
securities to cash, it would incur  transaction  costs. If the Fund withdrew its
investment  from the  Portfolio,  the Trust's  Board would  consider what action
might be taken,  including the  management of the Fund's assets  directly by the
Fund's investment adviser (the "Adviser") or the investment of the Fund's assets
in  another  pooled  investment  entity.  The  inability  of the  Fund to find a
suitable  replacement  investment,  in the event the Board decided not to permit
the  Adviser to manage  the Fund's  assets  directly,  could have a  significant
impact on shareholders of the Fund.


TYPES OF INVESTMENTS AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES


         All investments  acquired by the Fund will, at the time of acquisition,
be "eligible  securities" as defined by SEC Rule 2a-7. High quality money market
instruments  include  those  that  are  rated in one of the two  highest  rating
categories for  short-term  debt by any two  nationally  recognized  statistical
rating  organizations  ("NRSROs").  They also include securities that may not be
rated, but are issued by an issuer with a comparable outstanding short-term debt
that is rated.  High quality money market  instruments may also be rated by only
one NRSRO.  An unrated  security  may be  determined  to be high  quality by the
Portfolio's  investment adviser,  subject to the oversight and review of the AMR
Trust Board of Trustees (the "AMR Trust's Board").

Fixed Income Securities.  The Fund may invest in fixed income securities.  Fixed
income securities include corporate debt securities,  U.S. government securities
and  participation  interests in such  securities.  Fixed income  securities are
generally considered to be interest rate sensitive, which means that their value
will  generally  decrease  when  interest  rates rise and increase when interest
rates fall.  Securities  with shorter  maturities,  while offering lower yields,
generally  provide greater price stability than  longer-term  securities and are
less affected by changes in interest rates.

Corporate Debt  Securities.  Corporate  debt  securities are long and short-term
debt  obligations  issued by companies  (such as publicly  issued and  privately
placed bonds,  notes and commercial paper).  The Portfolio  considers  corporate
debt  securities  to be of  investment  grade  quality  if they are rated BBB or
higher by Standard & Poor's  Corporation,  or Baa or higher by Moody's Investors
Service,  Inc., or if unrated,  determined by the Portfolio's investment adviser
to be of comparable  quality.  Investment  grade debt securities  generally have
adequate to strong protection of principal and interest  payments.  In the lower
end of this category, credit quality may be more susceptible to potential future
changes in circumstances and the securities have speculative elements.

Obligations  of Financial  Institutions.  The Fund may invest in  obligations of
financial  institutions.  Examples of  obligations  in which the fund may invest
include negotiable certificates of deposit,  bankers acceptances,  time deposits
and other  obligations of U.S. banks (including  savings and loan  associations)
having total assets in excess of ten billion  dollars.  The Fund may also invest
in U.S.  dollar-denominated  Eurodollar  and  Yankeedollar  bank  obligations as
discussed below and other U.S.  dollar-denominated  obligations of foreign banks
having  total  assets in  excess of ten  billion  dollars  that the  sub-adviser
believes are of investment quality.

         Certificates of deposit represent an institution's  obligation to repay
funds deposited with it that earn a specified interest rate over a given period.
Bankers' acceptances are negotiable  obligations of a bank to pay a draft, which
has been drawn by a customer,  and are usually backed by goods in  international
trade. Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits with a banking institution that
earn a specified interest rate over a given period.  Fixed time deposits,  which
are  payable  at a  stated  maturity  date and  bear a fixed  rate of  interest,
generally  may be  withdrawn  on demand by the Fund but may be  subject to early
withdrawal  penalties  that could  reduce the Fund's  yield.  Unless  there is a
readily  available  market for them,  time  deposits  that are  subject to early
withdrawal  penalties and that mature in more than seven days will be treated as
illiquid securities.

     Eurodollar  bank  obligations are U.S.  dollar-denominated  certificates of
deposit or time  deposits  issued  outside the U.S.  capital  markets by foreign
branches of U.S. banks and by foreign banks.  Yankeedollar  bank obligations are
U.S.  dollar-denominated  obligations  issued  in the U.S.  capital  markets  by
foreign banks.

         Foreign, U.S.  dollar-denominated  Eurodollar (and to a limited extent,
Yankeedollar)  bank obligations are subject to certain sovereign risks. One such
risk  is  the  possibility   that  a  foreign   government  might  prevent  U.S.
dollar-denominated  funds from flowing across its borders.  Other risks include:
adverse political and economic developments in a foreign country; the extent and
quality of government  regulation  of financial  markets and  institutions;  the
imposition of foreign withholding taxes; and expropriation or nationalization of
foreign issuers.

Loan Participation  Interests.  Loan participation interests represent interests
in bank loans made to  corporations.  The contractual  arrangement with the bank
transfers  the cash  stream of the  underlying  bank  loan to the  participating
investor.  Because the issuing bank does not guarantee the participations,  they
are  subject  to the  credit  risks  generally  associated  with the  underlying
corporate borrower. In addition,  because it may be necessary under the terms of
the loan  participation for the investor to assert through the issuing bank such
rights as may exist against the underlying corporate borrower,  in the event the
underlying  corporate borrower fails to pay principal and interest when due, the
investor  may be subject to delays,  expenses  and risks that are  greater  than
those that would have been  involved  if the  investor  had  purchased  a direct
obligation  (such as commercial  paper) of such  borrower.  Moreover,  under the
terms of the loan  participation,  the investor may be regarded as a creditor of
the issuing bank (rather than of the underlying corporate borrower), so that the
issuer  may  also be  subject  to the  risk  that the  issuing  bank may  become
insolvent.  Further,  in  the  event  of the  bankruptcy  or  insolvency  of the
corporate  borrower,  the loan  participation may be subject to certain defenses
that can be  asserted by such  borrower  as a result of improper  conduct by the
issuing bank. The secondary  market,  if any, for these loan  participations  is
extremely limited and any such participations purchased by the Fund are regarded
as illiquid.

U.S.  Government  Obligations.  The  Fund  may  invest  without  limit  in  U.S.
government  securities.  U.S. government securities include securities issued or
guaranteed  by the U.S.  government,  its agencies and  instrumentalities.  U.S.
Treasury  bonds,  notes,  and bills and some  agency  securities,  such as those
issued  by the  Federal  Housing  Administration  and  the  Government  National
Mortgage Association (GNMA), are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
government as to payment of principal  and interest and are the highest  quality
government  securities.  Other securities issued by U.S.  government agencies or
instrumentalities,  such as securities issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks and
the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation,  are supported only by the credit of
the agency that issued them, and not by the U.S.  government.  Securities issued
by the Federal  Farm Credit  System,  the  Federal  Land Banks,  and the Federal
National  Mortgage  Association  (FNMA) are  supported by the agency's  right to
borrow money from the U.S.  Treasury  under certain  circumstances,  but are not
backed  by the  full  faith  and  credit  of the  U.S.  government.  There is no
guarantee  that the U.S.  government  will support  securities not backed by its
full faith and credit. Accordingly,  although these securities have historically
involved little risk of loss of principal if held to maturity.  These securities
may involve more risk than securities backed by the full faith and credit of the
U.S. government.

Rule 144A Securities. These securities are not registered for sale under Federal
securities laws but can be resold to institutions under SEC Rule 144A.  Provided
that a dealer or institutional  trading market in such securities exists,  these
restricted  securities  are  treated  as exempt  from the 10% limit on  illiquid
securities.  Under the  supervision  of the AMR Trust's Board,  the  Portfolio's
investment  adviser determines the liquidity of restricted  securities.  The AMR
Trust's Board monitors trading activity in restricted securities through reports
from the Portfolio's  investment adviser. If institutional trading in restricted
securities were to decline, the liquidity of a Fund could be adversely affected.

Demand Features.  The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to puts and
stand-by commitments, which are defined as demand features. Demand features give
the Fund the right to resell  securities  at  specified  periods  prior to their
maturity dates to the seller or to some third party at an  agreed-upon  price or
yield.  Securities with demand features may involve certain  expenses and risks,
including  the  inability  of the  issuer  of the  instrument  to  pay  for  the
securities at the time the  instrument is  exercised,  non-marketability  of the
instrument and differences  between the maturity of the underlying  security and
the maturity of the  instrument.  Securities may cost more with demand  features
than without  them.  Demand  features can serve three  purposes:  to shorten the
maturity of a variable or floating rate  security,  to enhance the  instrument's
credit quality and to provide a source of liquidity.

Variable and Floating Rate Securities.  The securities in which the Fund invests
may have variable or floating rates of interest.  These  securities pay interest
at rates  that are  adjusted  periodically  according  to a  specified  formula,
usually with  reference to some  interest  rate index or market  interest  rate.
Securities  with  ultimate  maturities of greater than 397 days may be purchased
only pursuant to Rule 2a-7.  Under that Rule, only those  long-term  instruments
that have demand  features,  which comply with certain  requirements and certain
variable rate, demand U.S.  government  securities may be purchased.  Similar to
fixed rate debt instruments,  variable and floating rate instruments are subject
to changes in value based on changes in market  interest rates or changes in the
issuer's or  guarantor's  creditworthiness.  The rate of interest on  securities
purchased  by the Fund may be tied to  short-term  Treasury or other  government
securities  or indices on securities  that are  permissible  investments  of the
Fund,  as well as other  money  market  rates  of  interest.  The Fund  will not
purchase  securities whose values are tied to interest rates or indices that are
not  appropriate  for the  duration and  volatility  standards of a money market
fund.

Mortgage-  Backed and  Asset-Backed  Securities.  The Fund may purchase fixed or
adjustable rate  mortgage-backed  securities  issued by the Government  National
Mortgage Association,  Federal National Mortgage  Association,  the Federal Home
Loan Mortgage Corporation, or other governmental or government-related entities.
Mortgage-backed  securities consist of both collateralized  mortgage obligations
and mortgage pass-through certificates.

Collateralized  Mortgage Obligations  ("CMOs")-CMOs and interests in real estate
mortgage investment  conduits  ("REMICs") are debt securities  collateralized by
mortgages,  or  mortgage  pass-through  securities.  CMOs  divide  the cash flow
generated from the underlying mortgages or mortgage pass-through securities into
different groups referred to as "tranches," which are then retired  sequentially
over time in order of  priority.  The  principal  governmental  issuers  of such
securities are the Federal National Mortgage Association  ("FNMA"), a government
sponsored  corporation  owned entirely by private  stockholders  and the Federal
Home Loan Mortgage  Corporation  ("FHLMC"),  a corporate  instrumentality of the
United States created  pursuant to an act of Congress which is owned entirely by
Federal  Home  Loan  Banks.  The  issuers  of CMOs are  structured  as trusts or
corporations  established for the purpose of issuing such CMOs and often have no
assets  other than  those  underlying  the  securities  and any  credit  support
provided.  A REMIC is a mortgage  securities  vehicle that holds  residential or
commercial  mortgages  and issues  securities  representing  interests  in those
mortgages.  A REMIC may be formed as a corporation,  partnership,  or segregated
pool of assets.  The REMIC itself is generally  exempt from federal  income tax,
but the income  from the  mortgages  is reported by  investors.  For  investment
purposes,  interests in REMIC  securities are virtually  indistinguishable  from
CMOs.

     Mortgage Pass-Through  Certificates-Mortgage  pass-through certificates are
issued by governmental,  government-related  and private organizations which are
backed by pools of mortgage loans.

     (1) Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") Mortgage Pass-Through
Certificates ("Ginnie Maes")-GNMA is a wholly owned U.S. Government  corporation
within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Ginnie Maes represent an
undivided  interest  in a pool of  mortgages  that are  insured  by the  Federal
Housing  Administration or the Farmers Home  Administration or guaranteed by the
Veterans Administration.  Ginnie Maes entitle the holder to receive all payments
(including  prepayments)  of  principal  and  interest  owed  by the  individual
mortgagors,  net of fees  paid to GNMA and to the  issuer  which  assembles  the
mortgage  pool  and  passes  through  the  monthly  mortgage   payments  to  the
certificate holders (typically,  a mortgage banking firm), regardless of whether
the individual  mortgagor actually makes the payment.  Because payments are made
to certificate  holders  regardless of whether payments are actually received on
the  underlying  mortgages,  Ginnie  Maes  are  of the  "modified  pass-through"
mortgage  certificate  type.  The GNMA is  authorized  to  guarantee  the timely
payment of  principal  and interest on the Ginnie  Maes.  The GNMA  guarantee is
backed by the full  faith  and  credit of the  United  States,  and the GNMA has
unlimited  authority  to borrow  funds from the U.S.  Treasury to make  payments
under the guarantee.  The market for Ginnie Maes is highly liquid because of the
size of the market  and the  active  participation  in the  secondary  market of
security dealers and a variety of investors.

     (2) FHLMC Mortgage Participation Certificates ("Freddie Macs")-Freddie Macs
represent  interests in groups of specified first lien residential  conventional
mortgages  underwritten and owned by the FHLMC.  Freddie Macs entitle the holder
to timely  payment of  interest,  which is  guaranteed  by the FHLMC.  The FHLMC
guarantees  either  ultimate  collection  or  timely  payment  of all  principal
payments  on the  underlying  mortgage  loans.  In cases where the FHLMC has not
guaranteed  timely  payment  of  principal,  the FHLMC may remit the  amount due
because of its  guarantee  of ultimate  payment of  principal  at any time after
default on an underlying mortgage,  but in no event later than one year after it
becomes payable.  Freddie Macs are not guaranteed by the United States or by any
of the Federal Home Loan Banks and do not constitute a debt or obligation of the
United States or of any Federal Home Loan Bank. The secondary market for Freddie
Macs is  highly  liquid  because  of the  size  of the  market  and  the  active
participation  in the  secondary  market of the FHLMC,  security  dealers  and a
variety of investors.

     (3)   FNMA   Guaranteed   Mortgage   Pass-Through   Certificates   ("Fannie
Maes")-Fannie  Maes  represent an undivided  interest in a pool of  conventional
mortgage  loans secured by first  mortgages or deeds of trust,  on one family or
two to four family,  residential properties. The FNMA is obligated to distribute
scheduled monthly installments of principal and interest on the mortgages in the
pool,  whether  or not  received,  plus  full  principal  of any  foreclosed  or
otherwise liquidated  mortgages.  The obligation of the FNMA under its guarantee
is solely its  obligation  and is not backed by, nor entitled to, the full faith
and credit of the United States.

     (4)  Mortgage-Related  Securities  Issued  by  Private  Organizations-Pools
created by  non-governmental  issuers  generally offer a higher rate of interest
than  government  and  government-related  pools  because there are no direct or
indirect  government  guarantees  of  payments in such  pools.  However,  timely
payment of interest and principal of these pools is often partially supported by
various  enhancements such as  over-collateralization  and  senior/subordination
structures and by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual
loan, title, pool and hazard insurance.  The insurance and guarantees are issued
by government entities,  private insurers or the mortgage poolers.  Although the
market for such securities is becoming increasingly liquid, securities issued by
certain private organizations may not be readily marketable.

         The Fund may also purchase  other  asset-backed  securities,  including
securities  backed  by  automobile  loans,   equipment  leases  or  credit  card
receivables.  These securities directly or indirectly  represent a participation
in, or are secured by and payable  from,  fixed or  adjustable  rate mortgage or
other  loans,  which  may be  secured  by real  estate or other  assets.  Unlike
traditional debt instruments, payments on these securities include both interest
and a partial  payment of principal.  Prepayments of the principal of underlying
loans may shorten the effective maturities of these securities and may result in
a Fund having to reinvest proceeds at a lower interest rate.

Repurchase  Agreements.  The Fund may  invest  in  repurchase  agreements  fully
collateralized  by  U.S.  Government  obligations.   Repurchase  agreements  are
transactions in which a Fund purchases securities and simultaneously  commits to
resell those securities to the seller at an agreed-upon  price on an agreed-upon
future  date.  The resale price  reflects a market rate of interest  that is not
related to the coupon  rate or  maturity  of the  purchased  securities.  If the
seller of the  securities  underlying  a repurchase  agreement  fails to pay the
agreed  resale  price on the agreed  delivery  date,  a Fund may incur  costs in
disposing of the collateral  and may experience  losses if there is any delay in
its  ability  to  do  so.  Any   repurchase   transaction   will   require  full
collateralization  of the  seller's  obligation  during the  entire  term of the
repurchase agreement. The Adviser monitors the creditworthiness of the banks and
securities dealers with whom the Fund engages in repurchase transactions.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements.  The Fund may borrow funds for temporary purposes
by entering into reverse repurchase agreements. Pursuant to such agreements, the
Fund would sell portfolio securities to financial institutions such as banks and
broker/dealers  and agree to repurchase them at a mutually  agreed-upon date and
price.  The Fund intends to enter into  reverse  repurchase  agreements  only to
avoid selling  securities to meet redemptions  during market  conditions  deemed
unfavorable by the investment adviser possessing  investment  authority.  At the
time the Fund enters  into a reverse  repurchase  agreement,  it will place in a
segregated  custodial account assets such as liquid high quality debt securities
having a value not less than 100% of the  repurchase  price  (including  accrued
interest),  and will  subsequently  monitor  the  account  to  ensure  that such
required value is maintained.  Reverse  repurchase  agreements  involve the risk
that the market value of the  securities  sold by the Fund may decline below the
price at which the Fund is  obligated  to  repurchase  the  securities.  Reverse
repurchase  agreements are considered to be borrowings by an investment  company
under the 1940 Act.


Delayed Delivery  Securities.  The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
or delayed  delivery basis.  Securities so purchased are subject to market price
fluctuation from the time of purchase but no interest on the securities  accrues
to a Fund until delivery and payment for the securities take place. Accordingly,
the value of the  securities  on the delivery  date may be more or less than the
purchase price.  Forward  commitments  will be entered into only when a Fund has
the intention of taking  possession of the  securities,  but a Fund may sell the
securities before the settlement date if deemed advisable.


Investment  Companies.  The  Fund  may  invest  in  other  investment  companies
(including  affiliated  investment  companies)  to the extent  permitted  by the
Investment  Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") or exemptive  relief granted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

Lending.  The Fund may loan securities to broker-dealers or other  institutional
investors.  Securities  loans  will not be made if, as a result,  the  aggregate
amount of all outstanding securities loans by a Portfolio exceeds 33 1/3% of its
total assets (including the market value of collateral  received).  For purposes
of complying with a Portfolio's investment policies and restrictions, collateral
received in connection with securities loans is deemed an asset of the Portfolio
to the extent  required by law. AMR Investment  Services,  Inc. (the  "Manager")
receives compensation for administrative and oversight functions with respect to
securities  lending.  The  amount of such  compensation  depends  on the  income
generated  by the loan of the  securities.  A  Portfolio  continues  to  receive
interest on the securities  loaned and  simultaneously  earns either interest on
the  investment  of the cash  collateral  or fee income if the loan is otherwise
collateralized.

Illiquid Securities.  The portfolio of the Fund may contain illiquid securities.
Illiquid  securities  generally  include  securities which cannot be disposed of
promptly and in the ordinary course of business  without taking a reduced price.
Securities may be illiquid due to contractual or legal restrictions on resale or
lack of a ready market. The following  securities are considered to be illiquid:
repurchase  agreements and reverse repurchase  agreements  maturing in more than
seven days, nonpublicly offered securities and restricted securities (other than
certain  Rule 144A  securities  determined  to be  liquid).  Certain  repurchase
agreements,  which  provide  for  settlement  in more than  seven  days,  can be
liquidated  before the  nominal  fixed term on seven days or less  notice.  Such
repurchase  agreements  will  be  regarded  as  liquid  instruments.  Restricted
securities are securities the resale of which is subject to legal or contractual
restrictions.  Restricted  securities  may be sold only in privately  negotiated
transactions,  in a  public  offering  with  respect  to  which  a  registration
statement is in effect under the  Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to Rule 144
or Rule 144A  promulgated  under such Act. Where  registration is required,  the
Fund may be  obligated  to pay all or part of the  registration  expense,  and a
considerable  period may elapse between the time of the decision to sell and the
time such  security may be sold under an effective  registration  statement.  If
during such a period adverse market  conditions were to develop;  the Fund might
obtain a less  favorable  price  than the price it could have  obtained  when it
decided  to sell.  The Fund will not  invest  more than 10% of its net assets in
illiquid securities.

Borrowing.  The Fund may borrow for temporary or emergency  purposes,  including
the meeting of  redemption  requests,  in amounts up to 10% of the Fund's  total
assets. Interest costs on borrowings may fluctuate with changing market rates of
interest and may partially  offset or exceed the return earned on borrowed funds
(or on the  assets  that were  retained  rather  than sold to meet the needs for
which funds were borrowed). Under adverse market conditions, the Fund might have
to sell  portfolio  securities to meet interest or principal  payments at a time
when investment considerations would not favor such sales.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

         The Fund has the following  fundamental  investment policy that enables
it to invest in the Money Market Portfolio (the "Portfolio") of the AMR Trust:

         Notwithstanding  any other  limitation,  the Fund may invest all of its
         investable  assets in an open-end  management  investment  company with
         substantially the same investment objectives,  policies and limitations
         as the Fund.

For this  purpose,  "all of the Fund's  investable  assets"  means that the only
investment  securities that will be held by the Fund will be the Fund's interest
in the investment company.

         All  other  fundamental  investment  policies  and the  non-fundamental
policies of the Fund and the Portfolio are  identical.  Therefore,  although the
following discusses the investment policies of the Portfolio and the AMR Trust's
Board,  it applies equally to the Fund and the Trust's Board. In addition to the
investment limitations noted in the Prospectus,  the following restrictions have
been adopted by the  Portfolio  and may be changed with respect to the Portfolio
only by the majority vote of the Portfolio's outstanding interests. "Majority of
the outstanding  voting securities" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended  (the  "1940  Act"),  and as used here in  means,  with  respect  to the
Portfolio,  the lesser of (a) 67% of the interests of the  Portfolio  present at
the  meeting if the  holders of more than 50% of the  interests  are present and
represented  at the  interest  holders'  meeting  or (b)  more  than  50% of the
interests of the  Portfolio.  Whenever the Fund is requested to vote on a change
in the investment restrictions of the Portfolio, the Fund will hold a meeting of
its shareholders and will cast its votes as instructed by its shareholders.  The
percentage of the Fund's votes  representing the Fund's  shareholders not voting
will be  voted  by the  Trust's  Board in the  same  proportion  as  those  Fund
shareholders who do, in fact, vote. The Portfolio may not:

         1.  Purchase  or sell real estate or real  estate  limited  partnership
interests,  provided,  however,  that the  Portfolio  may  invest in  securities
secured by real estate or interests  therein or issued by companies which invest
in real estate or interests  therein when consistent with the other policies and
limitations described in the Prospectus.

         2. Purchase or sell  commodities  (including  direct  interests  and/or
leases in oil, gas or minerals) or commodities contracts, except with respect to
forward foreign currency exchange contracts,  foreign currency futures contracts
and  when-issued   securities  when  consistent  with  the  other  policies  and
limitations described in the Prospectus.

         3. Engage in the business of underwriting  securities  issued by others
except to the extent that, in connection with the disposition of securities, the
Portfolio may be deemed an underwriter under federal securities law.

         4. Make loans to any person or firm, provided, however, that the making
of a loan shall not be construed to include (i) the  acquisition  for investment
of  bonds,  debentures,   notes  or  other  evidences  of  indebtedness  of  any
corporation or government which are publicly  distributed or (ii) the entry into
repurchase  agreements and further  provided,  however,  that each Portfolio may
lend  its  investment   securities  to  broker-dealers  or  other  institutional
investors in accordance with the guidelines stated in the Prospectus.

         5. Purchase from or sell portfolio securities to its officers, Trustees
or other  "interested  persons"  of the AMR  Trust,  as defined in the 1940 Act,
including its investment  advisers and their affiliates,  except as permitted by
the 1940 Act and exemptive rules or orders thereunder.

     6.  Issue  senior  securities  except  that the  Portfolio  may  engage  in
when-issued and forward commitment transactions.

         7.  Borrow  money,  except  from  banks or through  reverse  repurchase
agreements  for temporary  purposes in an aggregate  amount not to exceed 10% of
the value of its total assets at the time of  borrowing.  In addition,  although
not a fundamental  policy,  the  Portfolios  intend to repay any money  borrowed
before any additional portfolio securities are purchased.

         8. Invest more than 5% of its total assets  (taken at market  value) in
securities  of any  one  issuer,  other  than  obligations  issued  by the  U.S.
Government, its agencies and instrumentalities, or purchase more than 10% of the
voting  securities  of any one issuer,  with  respect to 75% of the  Portfolio's
total assets; or

         9.  Invest  more than 25% of its  total  assets  in the  securities  of
companies  primarily  engaged  in any  one  industry  (except  for  the  banking
industry),  provided  that:  (i) this  limitation  does not apply to obligations
issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities;
(ii)  municipalities  and their  agencies and  authorities  are not deemed to be
industries;  and (iii) financial service  companies are classified  according to
the end users of their services (for example,  automobile finance, bank finance,
and diversified finance will be considered separate industries).

         The following  non-fundamental  investment  restrictions may be changed
with  respect to the Fund by a vote of a majority of the Trust's  Board or, with
respect to the Portfolio,  by a vote of a majority of the AMR Trust's Board. The
Portfolio may not:

     1. Invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid securities, including
time deposits and repurchase agreements that mature in more than seven days; or

         2.  Purchase  securities  on margin,  effect short sales (except that a
Portfolio  may  obtain  such  short term  credits  as may be  necessary  for the
clearance of purchases or sales of  securities) or purchase or sell call options
or engage in the writing of such options.

         The  Portfolio  may  invest  up to  10%  of  its  total  assets  in the
securities  of other  investment  companies to the extent  permitted by law. The
Portfolio  may incur  duplicate  advisory or management  fees when  investing in
another mutual fund

The  Investment  Adviser


     The Fund's investment  Adviser is Legacy Group, LLC, d.b.a. Cash Management
Systems,  290  Turnpike  Road,  #338,  Westborough,  Massachusetts,  01581  (the
"Adviser" or "CMS").  David Reavill may be deemed to be a controlling  person of
the Adviser due to his ownership of a majority of its shares.

         Under the terms of the  management  agreement  (the  "Agreement"),  the
Adviser is responsible for managing the Fund's  investments  subject to approval
of the Trust's Board. As compensation for its management  services and agreement
to pay the  Fund's  expenses,  the Fund is  obligated  to pay the  Adviser a fee
computed  and accrued  daily and paid  monthly at an annual rate of 0.10% of the
average  daily net assets of the Fund.  CMS  receives  no  advisory  fee for the
periods that the Fund is a "feeder" in a master-feeder relationship.

         The Adviser  retains the right to use the name "CMS" in connection with
another investment  company or business  enterprise with which the Adviser is or
may become  associated.  The Trust's  right to use the name "CMS"  automatically
ceases  ninety days after  termination  of the Agreement and may be withdrawn by
the Adviser on ninety days written notice.

         The  Adviser  (not the Fund)  may pay  certain  financial  institutions
(which  may  include  banks,  brokers,  securities  dealers  and other  industry
professionals)  a fee for providing  distribution  related  services  and/or for
performing certain  administrative  servicing functions for Fund shareholders to
the extent these institutions are allowed to do so by applicable  statute,  rule
or regulation. Banks may charge their customers fees for offering these services
to the extent permitted by applicable  regulatory  authorities,  and the overall
return to those  shareholders  availing  themselves of the bank services will be
lower  than to those  shareholders  who do not.  The Fund may from  time to time
purchase  securities  issued by banks which provide such services;  however,  in
selecting  investments  for the  Fund,  no  preference  will be  shown  for such
securities.



<PAGE>



Other Service Providers.  The Fund retains AmeriPrime  Financial Services,  Inc.
(the "Administrator") to manage the Fund's business affairs and provide the Fund
with administrative  services,  including all regulatory reporting and necessary
office equipment, personnel and facilities. The Administrator receives a monthly
fee from CMS  equal to an annual  average  rate of 0.10% of the  Fund's  average
daily net assets if the Fund's  assets are one hundred  million  dollars or less
and 0.050% of the Fund's  average daily net assets if the Fund's assets are over
one  hundred   million   dollars.   The   Administrator   has  entered   into  a
Sub-Administration  agreement with AMR Investment Services, Inc. Pursuant to the
Sub-Administration Agreement, AMR Investment Services, Inc. receives a fee equal
to 0.05% of the Fund's  assets if the Fund's assets are $100 million or less for
providing  certain  administrative  services  to  the  Fund  on  behalf  of  the
Administrator.   The  Fund  retains  Unified  Fund  Services,  Inc.,  431  North
Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204 (the "Transfer Agent") to serve
as transfer  agent,  dividend paying agent and  shareholder  service agent.  The
Trust retains AmeriPrime Financial Securities,  Inc. 1793 Kingswood Drive, Suite
200, Southlake, TX 76092 (the "Distributor") to act as the principal distributor
of the Fund's shares.  Kenneth D. Trumpfheller,  officer and sole shareholder of
the Administrator  and the Distributor,  is an officer and trustee of the Trust.
The services of the Administrator,  Transfer Agent and Distributor are operating
expenses paid by CMS.

         The  Fund   has   retained   CMS  to   provide   certain   supplemental
administrative services to the Fund. Subject to the direction and control of the
Trust,  CMS is primarily  responsible  for developing and maintaining the Fund's
relationships with institutional clients and brokers. CMS is responsible for (i)
designing a multiple class structure for the Fund, (ii) negotiating with brokers
and  service  providers  to  implement  multiple  classes  for the  Fund,  (iii)
completing or supervising  filings with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission
and state  securities  commissions,  (iv)  registering  trade  names and service
marks, (v) supervising asset conversions including shareholder communication and
coordination   among  service   providers,   (vi)   developing  and  maintaining
relationships  with key personnel within the  institutional  investor and broker
community and (vii) monitoring  shareholder  servicing and client  satisfaction.
CMS pays its own costs  associated  with these  services,  as well as all of the
operating  expenses of the Fund,  except brokerage,  taxes,  12b-1 and servicing
fees, borrowing costs, fees and expenses of non-interested person trustees,  the
management fee paid to CMS and extraordinary  expenses.  It should be noted that
most investment companies pay their own operating expenses directly,  while this
Fund's  expenses  (except those  specified) are paid by CMS. For these services,
CMS  receives  a  monthly  fee equal to an  annual  rate of 0.20% of the  Fund's
average daily net assets. This is in addition to the management fee paid to CMS.

     *    Messrs.  Quinn and O'Sullivan are deemed to be "interested persons" of
          the AMR Trust as defined by the 1940 Act.

     2    The law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss,  Hauer & Feld LLP ("Akin,  Gump")
          provides  legal services to American  Airlines,  Inc., an affiliate of
          the manager of the AMR Trust.  Mr. Feld has advised the Trusts that he
          has had no material involvement in the services provided by Akin, Gump
          to  American  Airlines,  Inc.  and that he has  received  no  material
          benefit in connection with these services. Akin, Gump does not provide
          legal services to the manager of the AMT Trust or AMR Corporation.

         All  Trustees  and  officers  as a  group  own  less  than  1%  of  the
outstanding shares of any of the Funds.

         As compensation for their service to the American AAdvantage Funds, the
American  AAdvantage  Mileage Funds, the American Select Funds and the AMR Trust
(collectively, the "Trusts"), the Independent Trustees and their spouses receive
free air travel from American Airlines,  Inc., an affiliate of the Manager.  The
Trusts pay  American  Airlines  the flight  service  charges  incurred for these
travel  arrangements.  The Trusts  compensate  each Trustee with  payments in an
amount  equal to the  Trustees'  income  tax on the value of this  free  airline
travel.  Mr.  O'Sullivan,  as a retiree  of  American  Airlines,  Inc.,  already
receives  flight  benefits.  Prior to March 1, 2000, the Trusts  compensated Mr.
O'Sullivan up to $10,000  annually to cover his personal  flight service charges
and the charges for his three adult children,  as well as any income tax charged
on the value of these flight benefits.  Beginning March 1, 2000, Mr.  O'Sullivan
will receive an annual  retainer of $20,000  plus $1,250 for each Board  meeting
attended.  Trustees are also  reimbursed for any expenses  incurred in attending
Board meetings.  These amounts (excluding  reimbursements)  are reflected in the
following  table for the fiscal year ended  October 31, 2000.  The  compensation
amounts below include the flight service  charges paid by the Trusts to American
Airlines.

DISTRIBUTION PLAN

         With  respect to the Fund,  the Trust has adopted a  Distribution  Plan
pursuant to Rule 12b-1 which was  promulgated  by the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Plan").  Subject
to the  supervision  of the  Trustees of the Trust,  the Trust may,  directly or
indirectly,  engage in any activities  related to the distribution of the shares
of the  Fund,  which  activities  may  include,  but are  not  limited  to,  the
following: (a) payments, including incentive compensation, to securities dealers
or other financial intermediaries,  financial institutions,  investment Advisers
and others that are engaged in the sale of Fund Shares,  or that may be advising
shareholders  of the Fund  regarding the purchase,  sale or retention of shares;
(b) expenses of maintaining  personnel who engage in or support  distribution of
Fund shares; (c) costs of preparing,  printing and distributing prospectuses and
statements  of  additional  information  and reports of the Fund for  recipients
other than  existing  shareholders  of the Fund;  (d) costs of  formulating  and
implementing  marketing  and  promotional  activities;  (e) costs of  preparing,
printing  and  distributing  sales  literature;  (f)  costs  of  obtaining  such
information,  analyses and reports with  respect to  marketing  and  promotional
activities as the Trust may, from time to time, deem advisable; and (g) costs of
implementing  and operating  this Plan. The Trust is authorized to engage in the
activities listed above, and in any other activities related to the distribution
of Fund shares,  either  directly or through  other persons with which the Trust
has entered into agreements related to this Plan. The expenditures to be made by
the Trust for these distribution activities, and the basis upon which payment of
such  expenditures  will be made,  shall be  determined  by the  Trustees of the
Trust, but in no event may such expenditures exceed in any fiscal year an amount
calculated  at the rate of 0.75% of the  average  daily net  asset  value of the
Fund.  Such  payments for  distribution  activities  may be made directly by the
Trust or the Trust's  investment  adviser and  distributor may pay such expenses
and obtain reimbursement from the Trust.

         The Trustees  expect that the  adoption of the Plan will  significantly
enhance the Fund's ability to expand  distribution.  It is also anticipated that
an increase in the size of the Fund will  facilitate  more  efficient  portfolio
management and assist the Fund in seeking to achieve its  investment  objective.
The Plan has been approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees, including a majority
of the  Trustees  who are not  "interested  persons" of the Fund and who have no
direct or indirect financial interest in the Plan or any related agreement, by a
vote cast in person. Continuation of the Plan and the related agreements must be
approved  by the  Trustees  annually,  in the same  manner,  and the Plan or any
related agreement may be terminated at any time without penalty by a majority of
such  independent  Trustees  or by a majority of the  outstanding  shares of the
Fund. Any amendment  increasing the maximum percentage payable under the Plan or
other material change must be approved by a majority of the  outstanding  shares
of the  Fund,  and  all  other  material  amendments  to a Plan  or any  related
agreement must be approved by a majority of the independent Trustees.

SHAREHOLDER SERVICING PLAN

         With respect to the Fund, the Trust has adopted a Shareholder Servicing
Plan (the  "Servicing  Plan").  Pursuant to the Servicing  Plan, and in order to
further  enhance  the  distribution  of the  Fund's  shares,  the Fund may incur
expenses  at a rate of up to 0.25% of the  average  daily net assets of the Fund
for  payments  made to  securities  dealers or other  financial  intermediaries,
financial  institutions,  investment advisers and others that (a) hold shares of
the Fund for  shareholders  in omnibus  accounts or as shareholders of record or
provide  shareholder  support  or  administrative  services  to the Fund and its
shareholders or (b) render  shareholder  support services not otherwise provided
by the  Trust's  transfer  agent,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  allocated
overhead,  office  space  and  equipment,  telephone  facilities  and  expenses,
answering  routine  inquiries  regarding  the  Trust,   processing   shareholder
transactions,  and providing  such other  shareholder  services as the Trust may
reasonably  request.  These  payments  are in  addition  to those made under the
Distribution Plan.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE

         Subject to policies  established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust,
the Adviser is responsible for the Fund's portfolio decisions and the placing of
the Fund's  portfolio  transactions.  In  placing  portfolio  transactions,  the
Adviser seeks the best qualitative  execution for the Fund,  taking into account
such factors as price (including the applicable  brokerage  commission or dealer
spread), the execution capability,  financial  responsibility and responsiveness
of the broker or dealer and the brokerage and research  services provided by the
broker or dealer.  The Adviser  generally seeks favorable  prices and commission
rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received.

         Consistent with the Rules of Fair Practice of the National  Association
of  Securities  Dealers,  Inc.,  and subject to its  obligation  of seeking best
qualitative execution,  the Adviser may give consideration to sales of shares of
the  Fund as a factor  in the  selection  of  brokers  and  dealers  to  execute
portfolio transactions.

         The Adviser is specifically authorized to select brokers or dealers who
also  provide  brokerage  and  research  services  to the Fund  and/or the other
accounts over which the Adviser exercises investment  discretion and to pay such
brokers or dealers a commission in excess of the  commission  another  broker or
dealer would charge if the Adviser  determines in good faith that the commission
is reasonable  in relation to the value of the  brokerage and research  services
provided.  The determination may be viewed in terms of a particular  transaction
or the Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the Trust and to other
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion.

         Research  services  include  supplemental   research,   securities  and
economic  analyses,  statistical  services and  information  with respect to the
availability  of securities or purchasers or sellers of securities  and analyses
of reports concerning  performance of accounts.  The research services and other
information  furnished  by  brokers  through  whom the Fund  effects  securities
transactions  may also be used by the Adviser in servicing  all of its accounts.
Similarly, research and information provided by brokers or dealers serving other
clients  may be useful to the  Adviser in  connection  with its  services to the
Fund.  Although  research  services and other information are useful to the Fund
and the Adviser,  it is not possible to place a dollar value on the research and
other information  received.  It is the opinion of the Board of Trustees and the
Adviser that the review and study of the research and other information will not
reduce the  overall  cost to the  Adviser of  performing  its duties to the Fund
under the Agreement.

         Over-the-counter  transactions  will be  placed  either  directly  with
principal market makers or with  broker-dealers,  if the same or a better price,
including commissions and executions, is available.  Fixed income securities are
normally  purchased  directly from the issuer, an underwriter or a market maker.
Purchases  include a concession  paid by the issuer to the  underwriter  and the
purchase price paid to a market maker may include the spread between the bid and
asked prices.

         To the extent that the Trust and another of the Adviser's  clients seek
to acquire the same  security at about the same time,  the Trust may not be able
to acquire as large a position in such  security as it desires or it may have to
pay a higher  price for the  security.  Similarly,  the Trust may not be able to
obtain  as large  an  execution  of an order to sell or as high a price  for any
particular  portfolio  security  if the other  client  desires  to sell the same
portfolio  security at the same time. On the other hand, if the same  securities
are  bought  or sold at the same  time by more than one  client,  the  resulting
participation  in volume  transactions  could produce better  executions for the
Trust. In the event that more than one client wants to purchase or sell the same
security  on a given  date,  the  purchases  and sales will  normally be made by
random client selection.

PURCHASE AND SALE INFORMATION

How To Invest In the Fund. The Fund is "no-load" and shares of the Fund are sold
directly  to  investors  on a  continuous  basis,  subject to a minimum  initial
investment of $2,500 and minimum  subsequent  investments of $50. These minimums
may  be  waived  by the  Adviser  for  accounts  participating  in an  automatic
investment  program.  Investors  choosing  to purchase  or redeem  their  shares
through  a  broker/dealer  or other  institution  may be  charged  a fee by that
institution.  Investors  choosing to purchase or redeem shares directly from the
Fund  will  not  incur  charges  on  purchases  or  redemptions.  To the  extent
investments  of individual  investors  are  aggregated  into an omnibus  account
established by an investment adviser, broker or other intermediary,  the account
minimums  apply to the omnibus  account,  not to the  account of the  individual
investor.

Wire  orders  will be accepted  only on a day on which the Fund,  Custodian  and
Transfer  Agent are open for  business.  A wire  purchase will not be considered
made until the wired money is received and the purchase is accepted by the Fund.
Any delays which may occur in wiring money,  including delays which may occur in
processing by the banks, are not the  responsibility of the Fund or the Transfer
Agent.  There is presently no fee for the receipt of wired funds,  but the right
to charge shareholders for this service is reserved by the Fund.

         Additional Investments - You may purchase additional shares of the Fund
at any time  (subject to minimum  investment  requirements)  by mail,  wire,  or
automatic  investment.  Each additional mail purchase  request must contain your
name, the name of your account(s),  your account number(s),  and the name of the
Fund.  Checks  should be made  payable to Mutual  Fund and should be sent to the
address listed above. A bank wire should be sent as outlined above.

         Automatic  Investment  Plan - You may make regular  investments  in the
Fund with an Automatic  Investment Plan by completing the appropriate section of
the account  application and attaching a voided personal check.  Investments may
be made monthly to allow dollar-cost averaging by automatically deducting $50 or
more from your bank checking account.  You may change the amount of your monthly
purchase at any time.

         Tax Sheltered  Retirement  Plans - Since the Fund is oriented to longer
term investments, shares of the Fund may be an appropriate investment medium for
tax sheltered retirement plans,  including:  individual retirement plans (IRAs);
simplified  employee  pensions  (SEPs);  SIMPLE plans;  401(k) plans;  qualified
corporate  pension  and profit  sharing  plans  (for  employees);  tax  deferred
investment  plans (for  employees of public school  systems and certain types of
charitable  organizations);  and other qualified  retirement  plans.  You should
contact the Transfer Agent for the procedure to open an IRA or SEP plan, as well
as  more  specific   information   regarding  these   retirement  plan  options.
Consultation with an attorney or tax Adviser regarding these plans is advisable.
Custodial  fees  for an IRA will be paid by the  shareholder  by  redemption  of
sufficient  shares of the Fund from the IRA unless the fees are paid directly to
the IRA custodian.  You can obtain information about the IRA custodial fees from
the Transfer Agent.

         Other Purchase Information - Dividends begin to accrue after you become
a shareholder.  The Fund does not issue share certificates.  All shares are held
in  non-certificate  form  registered  on the  books of the Fund and the  Fund's
Transfer  Agent for the  account  of the  shareholder.  The  rights to limit the
amount of  purchases  and to refuse to sell to any  person are  reserved  by the
Fund. If your check or wire does not clear, you will be responsible for any loss
incurred  by the Fund.  If you are  already a  shareholder,  the Fund can redeem
shares from any identically  registered account in the Fund as reimbursement for
any loss  incurred.  You may be  prohibited  or  restricted  from making  future
purchases in the Fund.

How To  Redeem  Shares.  All  redemptions  will be made at the net  asset  value
determined after the redemption  request has been received by the Transfer Agent
in proper order, as defined below.  Shareholders may receive redemption payments
in the form of a check or federal wire transfer.  The proceeds of the redemption
may be more or less than the  purchase  price of your  shares,  depending on the
market value of the Fund's securities at the time of your redemption.  Presently
there is no charge for wire redemptions; however, the Fund reserves the right to
charge for this service.  Any charges for wire redemptions will be deducted from
the shareholder's  Fund account by redemption of shares.  Investors  choosing to
purchase or redeem their shares through a broker/dealer or other institution may
be charged a fee by that institution.

         "Proper  order" means your  request for a redemption  must include your
letter of instruction, including the Fund name, account number, account name(s),
the address and the dollar  amount or number of shares you wish to redeem.  This
request must be signed by all registered share owner(s) in the exact name(s) and
any special capacity in which they are registered. For all redemptions, the Fund
requires  that  signatures  be guaranteed by a bank or member firm of a national
securities   exchange.   Signature   guarantees   are  for  the   protection  of
shareholders.  At the discretion of the Fund or American Data Services,  Inc., a
shareholder,  prior to redemption,  may be required to furnish  additional legal
documents to insure proper authorization.

         By  Telephone - You may redeem any part of your  account in the Fund by
calling  the  Transfer  Agent at (800)  ___-____.  You must first  complete  the
Optional Telephone Redemption and Exchange section of the investment application
to institute this option. The Fund, the Transfer Agent and the Custodian are not
liable  for  following  redemption  or  exchange  instructions  communicated  by
telephone that they reasonably  believe to be genuine.  However,  if they do not
employ reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine,
they  may  be  liable  for  any  losses  due  to   unauthorized   or  fraudulent
instructions.  Procedures employed may include recording telephone  instructions
and requiring a form of personal identification from the caller.

         The telephone  redemption and exchange  procedures may be terminated at
any time by the Fund or the Transfer  Agent.  During  periods of extreme  market
activity it is possible  that  shareholders  may  encounter  some  difficulty in
telephoning the Fund,  although neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent has ever
experienced  difficulties  in receiving  and in a timely  fashion  responding to
telephone requests for redemptions or exchanges.  If you are unable to reach the
Fund by telephone, you may request a redemption or exchange by mail.

         Additional Information - If you are not certain of the requirements for
a  redemption  please call the  Transfer  Agent at (800)  ___-____.  Redemptions
specifying  a  certain  date or  share  price  cannot  be  accepted  and will be
returned.  You will be mailed the  proceeds on or before the fifth  business day
following the  redemption.  However,  payment for redemption made against shares
purchased by check will be made only after the check has been  collected,  which
normally may take up to fifteen days.  Also, when the New York Stock Exchange is
closed (or when trading is  restricted)  for any reason other than its customary
weekend or holiday closing or under any emergency  circumstances,  as determined
by the Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the Fund may suspend redemptions or
postpone payment dates.

         Because the Fund incurs certain fixed costs in maintaining  shareholder
accounts,  the Fund reserves the right to require any  shareholder to redeem all
of his or her shares in the Fund on 30 days' written  notice if the value of his
or her shares in the Fund is less than $2,500 due to  redemption,  or such other
minimum  amount  as the Fund may  determine  from time to time.  An  involuntary
redemption  constitutes a sale. You should  consult your tax Adviser  concerning
the tax consequences of involuntary redemptions.  A shareholder may increase the
value of his or her shares in the Fund to the minimum  amount  within the 30 day
period. Each share of the Fund is subject to redemption at any time if the Board
of Trustees determines in its sole discretion that failure to so redeem may have
materially adverse consequences to all or any of the shareholders of the Fund.

SHARE PRICE CALCULATION

         The value of an  individual  share in the Fund (the net asset value) is
calculated  by  dividing  the total  value of the Fund's  investments  and other
assets (including  accrued income),  less any liabilities  (including  estimated
accrued  expenses),  by the number of shares  outstanding.  Net asset  value per
share is determined as of the close of the New York Stock  Exchange  (4:00 p.m.,
Eastern time), and on any other day on which there is sufficient  trading in the
Fund's  securities  to  materially  affect the net asset value.  The Fund is not
open,  and NAV is not  calculated,  on each day that the  Exchange is closed for
business, and on Columbus Day and Veterans Day.

         The  portfolio  securities  of the Fund are valued using the  amortized
cost method of valuation, which normally approximates market value, and which is
intended to result in a constant  net asset  value of $1.00 per share.  Although
every  effort is made to  maintain  the net asset value of the Fund at $1.00 per
share,  there can be no  assurance  that this  constant  net asset value will be
maintained at all time. For example,  in the event of rapid and sharp  increases
in current interest rates, a national credit crisis, or a default by one or more
of the issuers of the Fund's portfolio securities,  then it is possible that the
Fund's net asset value could decline below $1.00 per share.

PERFORMANCE

         "Average  annual  total  return,"  as  defined  by the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission,  is computed by finding the average annual compounded rates
of return for the period indicated that would equate the initial amount invested
to the ending redeemable value, according to the following formula:
                                         P(1+T)n=ERV

         Where:   P     =a hypothetical $1,000 initial investment
                  T     =average annual total return
                  n     =number of years
                  ERV        =ending   redeemable   value  at  the  end  of  the
                             applicable   period  of  the  hypothetical   $1,000
                             investment  made at the beginning of the applicable
                             period.

The computation  assumes that all dividends and  distributions are reinvested at
the net asset  value on the  reinvestment  dates and that a complete  redemption
occurs at the end of the applicable period.

         The "yield" of the Fund refers to the income generated by an investment
in the Fund over a seven-day period. This income is then annualized.  The amount
of income  generated by  investments  during the week is assumed to be generated
each week over a 52-week period and is shown as a percentage of the  investment.
The "effective yield" is calculated  similarly but, when annualized,  the income
earned by an investment in the Fund is assumed to be  reinvested.  The effective
yield will be slightly higher than the yield because of the  compounding  effect
of this assumed reinvestment.

         The  yield of the Fund does not  necessarily  reflect  income  actually
earned by the Fund because of certain adjustments required by the Securities and
Exchange Commission and, therefore,  may not correlate to the dividends or other
distributions  paid to shareholders.  To the extent that financial  institutions
and  broker/dealers   charge  fees  in  connection  with  services  provided  in
conjunction  with an  investment  in the Fund,  performance  will be reduced for
those shareholders paying those fees.

         The Fund's  investment  performance  will vary  depending  upon  market
conditions,  the composition of the Fund's  portfolio and operating  expenses of
the Fund. These factors and possible differences in the methods and time periods
used in calculating non-standardized investment performance should be considered
when comparing the Fund's performance to those of other investment  companies or
investment vehicles.  The risks associated with the Fund's investment objective,
policies and techniques  should also be  considered.  At any time in the future,
investment  performance may be higher or lower than past performance,  and there
can be no assurance that any performance will continue.

         From time to time, in advertisements,  sales literature and information
furnished to present or prospective  shareholders,  the  performance of the Fund
may be compared to indices of broad groups of unmanaged securities considered to
be  representative  of or  similar  to the  portfolio  holdings  of the  Fund or
considered to be representative of the stock market in general. The Fund may use
the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index or the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

         In  addition,  the  performance  of the Fund may be  compared  to other
groups of mutual  funds  tracked by any widely used  independent  research  firm
which ranks  mutual  funds by overall  performance,  investment  objectives  and
assets, such as Lipper Analytical  Services,  Inc. or Morningstar,  Inc. For the
Fund,  comparisons may also include Bank Rate Monitor (TM), N. Palm Beach,  Fla.
33408,  IBC's  Money  Fund  Report(TM),   CDA  Investment  Technologies,   Inc.,
Wiesenberger Investment Companies Services, and other industry publications. The
objectives,  policies, limitations and expenses of other mutual funds in a group
may not be the same as those  of the  Fund.  Performance  rankings  and  ratings
reported  periodically in national  financial  publications such as Barron's and
Fortune also may be used.

From time to time, the Fund advertises its yield and effective yield. Both yield
figures are based on historical earnings and are not intended to indicate future
performance.  It can be expected that these yields will fluctuate substantially.
The yield of the Fund refers to the income  generated  by an  investment  in the
Fund over a seven-day period (which period will be stated in the advertisement).
This income is then  annualized.  That is the amount of income  generated by the
investment  during that week is assumed to be generated each week over a 52-week
period and is shown as a percentage of the  investment.  The effective  yield is
calculated similarly but, when annualized, the income earned by an investment in
the Fund is assumed  to be  reinvested.  The  effective  yield will be  slightly
higher  than  the  yield  because  of the  compounding  effect  of this  assumed
reinvestment.  The  Fund' s yield  and  effective  yield  may  reflect  absorbed
expenses pursuant to any undertakings that may be in effect.



TAXES

         The Fund  intends  to  qualify  each  year as a  "regulated  investment
company" under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  By so qualifying,
the Fund will not be  subject  to federal  income  taxes to the  extent  that it
distributes  substantially  all of its net  investment  income and any  realized
capital gains.

         For  federal  income  tax  purposes,  dividends  paid by the Fund  from
ordinary  income are  taxable to  shareholders  as ordinary  income,  but may be
eligible in part for the dividends received deduction for corporations. Pursuant
to the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (the "Tax Reform Act"),  all  distributions of net
short term capital gains to  individuals  are taxed at the same rate as ordinary
income.  All  distributions  of net capital gains to  corporations  are taxed at
regular  corporate  rates. Any  distributions  designated as being made from net
realized  long term  capital  gains are  taxable  to  shareholders  as long term
capital gains regardless of the holding period of the shareholder.

         The Fund will mail to each shareholder  after the close of the calendar
year a statement  setting forth the federal  income tax status of  distributions
made during the year.  Dividends  and capital  gains  distributions  may also be
subject to state and local taxes.  Shareholders  are urged to consult  their own
tax advisers regarding  specific  questions as to federal,  state or local taxes
and the tax effect of distributions and withdrawals from the Fund.

         On the application or other appropriate form, the Fund will request the
shareholder's  certified taxpayer  identification number (social security number
for  individuals)  and a  certification  that the  shareholder is not subject to
backup withholding.  Unless the shareholder provides this information,  the Fund
will  be  required  to  withhold  and  remit  to the  U.S.  Treasury  31% of the
dividends,  distributions  and redemption  proceeds  payable to the shareholder.
Shareholders should be aware that, under regulations promulgated by the Internal
Revenue Service, the Fund may be fined $50 annually for each account for which a
certified taxpayer identification number is not provided. In the event that such
a fine is imposed with respect to a specific  account in any year,  the Fund may
make a corresponding charge against the account.

CUSTODIAN

         ______________________________, address____________________________, is
Custodian  of  the  Fund's  investments.   The  Custodian  acts  as  the  Fund's
depository,  safekeeps its portfolio  securities,  collects all income and other
payments  with  respect  thereto,  disburses  funds at the  Fund's  request  and
maintains records in connection with its duties.

TRANSFER AGENT

                  Unified   Fund   Services,   Inc.   ("Unified"),   431   North
Pennsylvania  Street,  Indianapolis,  Indiana 46204, acts as the Fund's transfer

Appendix


         Ratings  of  Long-Term   Obligations-The   Portfolio  utilizes  ratings
provided by the following nationally recognized statistical rating organizations
("Rating   Organizations")  in  order  to  determine  eligibility  of  long-term
obligations.

         The four highest Moody's Investors Service,  Inc.  ("Moody's")  ratings
for  long-term  obligations  (or  issuers  thereof)  are  Aaa,  Aa,  A and  Baa.
Obligations  rated  Aaa  are  judged  by  Moody's  to be of  the  best  quality.
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together
with the Aaa group,  such debt comprises  what is generally  known as high-grade
debt.  Moody's  states that debt rated Aa is rated  lower than Aaa debt  because
margins of protection or other  elements make  long-term  risks appear  somewhat
larger than for Aaa debt.  Obligations which are rated A by Moody's possess many
favorable   investment   attributes  and  are  considered  "upper   medium-grade
obligations."  Obligations  which are rated Baa by Moody's are  considered to be
medium grade  obligations,  i.e.,  they are neither highly  protected nor poorly
secured.  Interest  payments  and  principal  security  appear  adequate for the
present   but   certain   protective   elements   may  be   lacking  or  may  be
characteristically  unreliable  over any  great  length  of time.  Moody's  also
supplies numerical  indicators 1, 2, and 3 to rating categories.  The modifier 1
indicates  that the  security is in the higher end of its rating  category;  the
modifier 2  indicates a mid-range  ranking;  and  modifier 3 indicates a ranking
toward the lower end of the category.

         The four highest  Standard & Poor's  ratings for long-term  obligations
are AAA, AA, A and BBB.  Obligations  rated AAA have the highest rating assigned
by Standard & Poor's.  Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely
strong.  Obligations  rated AA have a very strong  capacity to pay  interest and
repay principal and differ from the highest rated issues only in a small degree.
Obligations  rated A have a  strong  capacity  to pay  principal  and  interest,
although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances  and  economic  conditions.  Obligations  rated BBB by  Standard &
Poor's are  regarded  as having  adequate  capacity  to pay  interest  and repay
principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection parameters,  adverse
economic  conditions  or  changing  circumstances  are more  likely to lead to a
weakened  capacity to pay interest and repay principal for debt in this category
than in higher rated categories.

         Duff & Phelps' four highest ratings for long-term  obligations are AAA,
AA, A and BBB.  Obligations  rated AAA have the highest credit quality with risk
factors being  negligible.  Obligations  rated AA are of high credit quality and
strong  protection  factors.  Risk is modest but may vary  slightly from time to
time  because of  economic  conditions.  Obligations  rated A have  average  but
adequate protection factors. However, risk factors are more variable and greater
in  periods  of  economic  stress.  Obligations  rated  BBB have  below  average
protection factors with considerable variability in risk during economic cycles,
but are still considered sufficient for prudent investment.

         Thomson  BankWatch   ("BankWatch")  long-term  debt  ratings  apply  to
specific issues of long-term debt and preferred stock. They specifically  assess
the  likelihood of an untimely  repayment of principal or interest over the term
to  maturity  of the rated  instrument.  BankWatch's  four  highest  ratings for
long-term  obligations  are AAA, AA, A and BBB.  Obligations  rated AAA indicate
that the ability to repay principal and interest on a timely basis is very high.
Obligations rated AA indicate a superior ability to repay principal and interest
on a timely basis, with limited incremental risk compared to issues rated in the
highest  category.  Obligations  rated A indicate the ability to repay principal
and  interest  is strong.  Issues  rated A could be more  vulnerable  to adverse
developments  (both internal and external) than obligations with higher ratings.
BBB is the lowest investment grade category and indicates an acceptable capacity
to repay principal and interest.  Issues rated BBB are, however, more vulnerable
to adverse  developments  (both  internal and external)  than  obligations  with
higher ratings.

         Fitch IBCA,  Inc.  ("Fitch")  investment  grade bond ratings  provide a
guide to investors in determining  the credit risk  associated with a particular
security.  The ratings represent  Fitch's  assessment of the issuer's ability to
meet  the  obligations  of a  specific  debt  issue or class of debt in a timely
manner.  Obligations  rated AAA are considered to be investment grade and of the
highest credit quality.  The obligor has an exceptionally  strong ability to pay
interest  and repay  principal,  which is unlikely to be affected by  reasonable
foreseeable events.  Bonds rated AA are considered to be investment grade and of
very high  credit  quality.  The  obligor's  ability to pay  interest  and repay
principal is very strong, although not quite as strong as bonds rated AAA. Bonds
rated A are considered to be investment  grade and of high credit  quality.  The
obligor's  ability to pay  interest  and repay  principal  is  considered  to be
strong, but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and
circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.  Bonds rated BBB are considered to
be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality. The obligor's ability to
pay interest and repay  principal is considered to be adequate.  Adverse changes
in  economic  conditions  and  circumstances,  however,  are more likely to have
adverse  impact  on these  bonds,  and  therefore  impair  timely  payment.  The
likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below  investment  grade is
higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

         Standard & Poor's,  Duff & Phelps and Fitch apply  indicators,  such as
"+","-," or no character,  to indicate relative standing within the major rating
categories.


         Ratings  of  Short-Term  Obligations-The  rating  P-1  is  the  highest
short-term rating assigned by Moody's.  Among the factors  considered by Moody's
in assigning ratings are the following: (1) evaluations of the management of the
issuer;  (2) economic  evaluation of the issuer's  industry or industries and an
appraisal of speculative-type  risks which may be inherent in certain areas; (3)
evaluation  of the  issuer's  products in relation to  competition  and customer
acceptance;  (4) liquidity;  (5) amount and quality of long-term debt; (6) trend
of  earnings  over a period of ten years;  (7)  financial  strength  of a parent
company and the relationships  which exist with the issuer;  and (8) recognition
by the management of  obligations  which may be present or may arise as a result
of public interest questions and preparations to meet such obligations.

         Short-term  obligations  (or issuers  thereof)  rated A-1 by Standard &
Poor's have the following characteristics. Liquidity ratios are adequate to meet
cash requirements.  The issuer has access to at least two additional channels of
borrowing. Basic earnings and cash flow have an upward trend with allowance made
for unusual circumstances.  Typically, the issuer's industry is well established
and the issuer has a strong  position  within the industry.  The reliability and
quality of management  are  unquestioned.  Relative  strength or weakness of the
above factors  determines  whether the issuer's  short-term  obligation is rated
A-1, A-2, or A-3.

         The distinguishing  feature of Duff & Phelps Credit Ratings' short-term
rating  is the  refinement  of the  traditional  1  category.  The  majority  of
short-term debt issuers carry the highest rating, yet quality  differences exist
within that tier.  Obligations  rated D-1+  indicate  the highest  certainty  of
timely  payment.  Safety is just  below  risk-free  U.S.  Treasury  obligations.
Obligations rated D-1 have a very high certainty of timely payment. Risk factors
are minor.  Obligations rated D-1- have a high certainty of timely payment. Risk
factors  are very small.  Obligations  rated D-2 have good  certainty  of timely
payment.  Liquidity factors and company fundamentals are sound. Although ongoing
funding  needs may  enlarge  total  financing  requirements,  access to  capital
markets is good. Risk factors are small.

         Thomson  BankWatch  short-term  ratings  are  intended  to  assess  the
likelihood  of an untimely  or  incomplete  payment of  principal  or  interest.
Obligations  rated TBW-1  indicate a very high  likelihood  that  principal  and
interest  will be paid on a timely basis.  While the degree of safety  regarding
timely  payment of  principal  and  interest is strong for an  obligation  rated
TBW-2, the relative degree of safety is not as high as for issues rated TBW-1.

Fitch's  short-term ratings apply to debt obligations that are payable on demand
or have original maturities of generally up to three years, including commercial
paper, certificates of deposit,  medium-term notes, and municipal and investment
notes. A rating of F-1+ indicates  exceptionally  strong credit quality.  Issues
assigned  this rating are regarded as having the  strongest  degree of assurance
for timely  payment.  Obligations  rated F-1 have very  strong  credit  quality.
Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of timely payment only slightly
less in degree than issues rated F-1+.  Issues assigned a rating of F-2 indicate
good credit quality.  Issues assigned this rating have a satisfactory  degree of
assurance  for timely  payment,  but the margin of safety is not as great as for
issues assigned F-1+ and F-1 ratings.

WESTCOTT TECHNOLOGY FUND

Investment Objective

      The  investment  objective of the  Technology  Fund is long term growth of
capital.

Principal Strategies

      Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 65% of its total
assets in common stocks of U.S. companies that rely extensively on technology in
their product development and/or operations or will derive a substantial portion
of their sales from  technology  and  technology-related  products or  services.
These  companies  are in  fields  such as  internet  services  and  development,
computer  software  and  hardware,  telecommunication  services  and  equipment,
electronics,   data   management  and  storage,   networking,   IT  (information
technology)   services  and  consulting,   biotechnology,   robotics  and  video
technologies. Any ordinary income received from portfolio securities is entirely
incidental to the Fund's principal strategy.

      While the Fund invests in technology companies  generally,  the Fund will,
under  normal  circumstances,  invest  at least 25% of its  assets  in  internet
companies.  These companies are in internet services and development fields such
as internet retailing,  internet infrastructure,  internet software development,
online  advertising,  internet  business  development  consulting,  and internet
business development incubators.

      The Fund may sell a stock if the Fund's  adviser  believes  the  company's
long term growth prospects have  deteriorated.  Growth prospects may be measured
by  earnings,  revenue  growth,  stock price  performance,  market  dominance or
technological innovation.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

o Company risk is the risk that the Fund might  decrease in value in response to
the activities and financial  prospects of an individual  company.
o Market risk is the risk that the Fund might  decrease in value in response to
general market and economic  conditions.

o Technology  sector risk is the risk that because the Fund is  concentrated  in

the  technology  sector,  significant  weakness in this sector  could  result in
significant  losses  to the  Fund.  Technology  companies  may be  significantly
affected  by falling  prices and  profits  and  intense  competition,  and their
products may be subject to rapid obsolescence. Changes in governmental policies,
such as telephone and cable regulations and anti-trust  enforcement,  may have a
material effect on the products and services of technology companies,  including
internet companies. In addition, the rate of technological change often requires
extensive and sustained investment in research and development.

o Internet  concentration risk means that your investment in the Fund is subject
to special risks because the Fund invests at least 25% of its assets in internet
companies.   Significant   weakness  in  internet   companies  could  result  in
significant  losses to the Fund.  Internet  companies are subject to competitive
pressures  and  changing  demands  that may  have a  significant  effect  on the
financial  condition  of internet  companies.  It is likely that some of today's
public  internet  companies  will not  exist in the  future.  The  price of many
internet  stocks has risen based on projections  of future  earnings and company
growth. If a company does not perform as expected,  the price of the stock could
decline significantly. Many internet companies are currently operating at a loss
and may never be  profitable.  o  Volatility  risk means that  common  stocks of
technology  companies,  including internet  companies,  tend to be more volatile
than  other  investment  choices.  Because  of  its  narrow  focus,  the  Fund's
performance  is  closely  tied  to  any  factors  which  may  affect  technology
companies,  including  internet  companies,  and, as a result, is more likely to
fluctuate than that of a fund which is invested in a broader range of companies.

o Smaller  company  risk means that the stocks of smaller  sized  companies  are
subject to certain risks,  including:  possible  dependence on a limited product
line, market, financial resources or management group, less frequent trading and
trading with smaller volume than larger stocks,  which may make it difficult for
the  Fund to buy or sell the  stocks,  and  greater  fluctuation  in value  than
larger, more established company stocks.

o Portfolio turnover risk is the risk that the adviser's investment strategy may

involve active  trading and could result in a high portfolio  turnover rate. The
Fund does not intend to  purchase  or sell  securities  for short  term  trading
purposes.  However,  if the objective of the Fund would be better served,  short
term profits or losses may be realized from time to time. To the extent the Fund
has  high  portfolio   turnover,   it  will  generally  incur  higher  brokerage
commissions  than those incurred by a fund with a lower portfolio  turnover rate
(which would lower the Fund's total  return),  and the higher  turnover rate may
result in the  realization  for federal tax  purposes of more net capital  gains
(which may be ordinary income).

o As with any mutual fund investment, the Fund's returns will vary and you could
lose money. o The Fund is not a complete investment program.

Is this Fund Right for You?


      The Fund may be a suitable investment for:

o long  term  investors  seeking  to  diversify  into  technology  securities  o
investors willing to accept significant price fluctuations in their investment o
investors  who  can  tolerate  the  greater  risks  associated  with  technology
investments


WESTCOTT LARGE-CAP FUND

Investment Objective

      The  investment  objective  of the  Large-Cap  Fund is long term growth of
capital.

Principal Strategies


      The Fund will normally invest at least 65 % of its assets in common stocks
of larger-sized  U.S.  companies  (those with a market  capitalization  above $5
billion).  The Fund's advisor selects stocks based on their  long-term  earnings
potential and capital appreciation  prospects.  The adviser focuses on companies
with high  earnings  growth and stock  prices that the adviser  considers  to be
undervalued based on the company's historic returns.


      The Fund may sell a stock if the Fund's adviser believes that the stock no
longer possesses superior earnings and price growth relative to its peers and/or
the S&P 500 Index.  The adviser will also consider  negative changes in earnings
per share estimates and material changes in the company's business plan that may
adversely affect future earnings momentum.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

o Company risk is the risk that the Fund might  decrease in value in response to
the activities and financial  prospects of an individual  company.
o Market risk is the risk that the Fund might  decrease in value in response to
general market and economic  conditions.
o Volatility risk means that common stocks tend to be more  volatile  than
  other  investment  choices.
o The Fund is not a  complete investment program.

o As with any mutual fund investment, the Fund's returns will vary and you could
lose money.

WESTCOTT FIXED INCOME FUND

Investment Objective

      The investment  objective of the Fixed Income Fund is income over the long
term consistent with preservation of capital.

Principal Strategies

      The Fund  invests  primarily  in a broad range of  investment  grade fixed
income   securities.    These   include   bonds,   notes,   convertible   bonds,
mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, corporate debt,
government  securities,  zero coupon bonds and short term  obligations,  such as
commercial paper and repurchase and reverse  repurchase  agreements.  The Fund's
advisor  typically  selects fixed income securities with maturities of less than
five years,  based on the available yield at various maturity  levels.  The Fund
will normally invest at least 65% of its assets in fixed income securities.

The Fund may sell a security if its rating is downgraded, to shorten or lengthen
the average maturity of the Fund's portfolio,  or if the Fund's adviser believes
that the issuer's business is experiencing material negative changes.

Principal Risks of Investing in the Fund

o Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of your  investment may decrease
when  interest  rates  rise.  To the  extent the Fund  invests  in fixed  income
securities  with longer  maturities,  the Fund will be more greatly  affected by
changes in interest rates,  and will be more volatile,  than a fund that invests
in securities with shorter maturities.
o Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of the fixed  income  security may not
be able to make  interest  and  principal payments when due.  Generally,  the
lower the credit  rating of a security,  the greater the risk that the issuer
will default on its obligation.


o  Prepayment  risk  means that  during  periods of  declining  interest  rates,
prepayment of loans underlying  mortgage-backed  securities usually  accelerate.
Prepayment may shorten the effective maturities of these securities and the Fund
may have to reinvest at lower interest rates.

o The Fund is not a complete investment program.
o As with any mutual fund investment, the Fund's returns will vary and you could
lose money.

                          HOW THE FUNDS HAVE PERFORMED

      Although past performance of a fund is no guarantee of how it will perform
in the future,  historical  performance may give you some indication of the risk
of  investing in the fund  because it  demonstrates  how its returns have varied
over time. The Bar Chart and Performance  Table that would  otherwise  appear in
this prospectus  have been omitted because the Funds are recently  organized and
have limited performance histories.

Example:


      This  Example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the
Funds with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

      The  Example  assumes  that you  invest  $10,000  in the Fund for the time
periods indicated, reinvest dividends, and then redeem all of your shares at the
end of those  periods.  The Example also assumes that your  investment  has a 5%
return each year and that the Funds operating expenses remain the same. Although
your actual costs may be higher or lower,  based on these assumptions your costs
would be:

                               HOW TO BUY SHARES

Initial Purchase


      The minimum initial  investment in each Fund is $1,000 ($200 for qualified
retirement   accounts  and  medical  savings  accounts).   The  minimum  initial
investment in each Fund is $50 for shareholders  participating in the continuing
automatic investment plan.

      You may open an account and make an initial  investment through securities
dealers who have a sales agreement with Unified Financial Securities,  Inc., the
Funds'  distributor.  Your securities  dealer may charge you additional fees. To
the extent  investments of individual  investors are aggregated  into an omnibus
account established by an investment adviser, broker or other intermediary,  the
account  minimums  apply  to the  omnibus  account,  not to the  account  of the
individual investor.


By Mail


    You may also make a direct initial  investment by following these steps:
complete  and  sign the  investment application  form  which  accompanies this
Prospectus;
o draft a check made payable to the appropriate Fund;
o identify on the check and the  application  the Class in which you would like
  to  invest;
o mail the application and check to:

By Wire


      You may also purchase  shares of a Fund by wiring  federal funds from your
bank,  which may  charge  you a fee for doing so. To wire  money,  you must call
Unified Fund Services,  Inc (the  "Transfer  Agent") at (800) 998-6658 to set up
your account and obtain an account  number.  You should be prepared at that time
to provide the information on the application.  Then, provide your bank with the
following information for purposes of wiring your investment:


      Firstar Bank, N.A.
      ABA #0420-0001-3
      Attn: Westcott Funds

      Fund Name  ____________________________  (write in fund  name)  Class Name

      __________________________  (write in shareholder  name) For the Account #
      ________________________ (write in account number) D.D.A.# 821-637634

      You must mail a signed  application to Unified Fund  Services,  Inc at the
above address in order to complete your initial wire purchase.  Wire orders will
be accepted only on a day on which the Fund,  custodian  and Transfer  Agent are
open for business.  A wire purchase will not be considered  made until the wired
money is received and the purchase is accepted by the Fund. Any delays which may
occur in wiring  money,  including  delays which may occur in  processing by the
banks, are not the  responsibility  of the Fund or the Transfer Agent.  There is
presently  no fee for the  receipt  of wired  funds,  but the  Fund  may  charge
shareholders for this service in the future.

</TABLE>

*If you  purchase $1 million or more of Class A shares of a Fund,  the  purchase
may be made without an initial sales load. However,  those shares are subject to
a contingent  deferred sales charge  ("CDSC") if redeemed within one year of the
date of purchase.  The CDSC is 1.00% for the Technology Fund and Large Cap Fund,
and 0.25% for the Fixed Income Fund, based on the lower of the original purchase
price or net asset value at the time of the redemption. Reinvested dividends and
distributions from Class A shares are not subject to the CDSC.

Class B Shares


      You can purchase Class B shares at NAV. However, when you redeem them, you
may  pay  a  contingent   deferred  sales  change   ("CDSC")  in  the  following
percentages:

o     Institutional Shares


      Institutional  shares are available for purchase by registered  investment
advisers,  bank  trust  departments,  financial  planners  and  other  financial
intermediaries  on behalf of their clients.  Institutional  shareholders  pay no
sales load or 12b-1 fees.


                               DISTRIBUTION PLANS


      Each Fund has adopted plans under Rule 12b-1 that allow Class A shares and
Class  B  shares  of  the  Fund  to pay  distribution  fees  for  the  sale  and
distribution of its shares. The distribution plan for Class B shares also allows
the class to pay for  services  provided  to  shareholders.  Class A shares  pay
annual 12b-1  expenses of 0.25% and Class B shares pay annual 12b-1  expenses of
1.00% (of which  0.75% is an asset  based  sales  charge  and 0.25% is a service
fee). Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis,
over time these fees will increase the cost of your  investment and may cost you
more than paying other types of sales charges.


                         ADDITIONAL PURCHASE INFORMATION

Additional Purchases


      You may  purchase  additional  shares of any Fund  (subject to the minimum
investment  of $50) by  mail,  wire or  automatic  investment.  If you  purchase
additional Class A shares, you will pay a sales load unless the purchase is made
by  reinvesting a dividend or capital  gains  distribution.  If your  securities
dealer received concessions for selling shares of a Fund to you, such securities
dealer will receive the  concessions  described above with respect to additional
investments. Each additional mail purchase request must contain:


o     your name
o     the name of your account(s),
o     your account number(s),
o     the name of the Fund
o     a check

Send your purchase  request to the address  listed above.  A bank wire should be
sent as outlined above.


Automatic Investment Plan


      You may make regular  investments  in a Fund with an Automatic  Investment
Plan by  completing  the  appropriate  section of the  account  application  and
attaching a voided  personal  check.  Investments  may be made  monthly to allow
dollar-cost  averaging  by  automatically  deducting  $50 or more from your bank
checking  account.  You may change the amount of your  monthly  purchase  at any
time.


Reduced Sales Load


      You may use the Right of  Accumulation  to combine the cost or current net
asset  value  (whichever  is higher) of your shares of a Fund with the amount of
your current purchases in order to take advantage of the reduced sales loads set
forth in the table above. Purchases made pursuant to a Letter of Intent may also
be eligible for the reduced sales loads. The minimum initial  investment under a
Letter of Intent is $50,000.  Shareholders should contact the Transfer Agent for
information about the Right of Accumulation and Letter of Intent.


Purchases at Net Asset Value

      Purchases  of Class A shares may be  effected  at net asset  value for the
benefit of the clients of  brokers-dealers  and registered  investment  advisers
affiliated with a broker-dealer, if such broker-dealer or investment adviser has
entered into an agreement with the Funds' distributor providing specifically for
the purchase of Fund shares in connection with special investment products, such
as wrap accounts or similar fee based programs.

      Trustees,  directors, officers and employees of the Trust, the Advisor and
service  providers to the Trust,  including  members of the immediate  family of
such  individuals and employee benefit plans  established by such entities,  may
also purchase shares of each Fund at net asset value.

Additional Information

      For  purposes  of  determining  the  applicable  sales  load,  a purchaser
includes  an  individual,  his  spouse and their  children  under the age of 21,
purchasing shares for his or their own account;  or a trustee or other fiduciary
purchasing  shares  for a  single  fiduciary  account  although  more  than  one
beneficiary  is  involved;  or  employees of a common  employer,  provided  that
economies of scale are realized  through  remittances  from a single  source and
quarterly  confirmation of such purchases;  or an organized group, provided that
the purchases are made through a central  administration,  or a single dealer or
by other means which result in economy of sales effort or expense.

Tax Sheltered Retirement Plans

      Since the Funds are  oriented  to longer term  investments,  shares of the
Funds may be an  appropriate  investment  medium  for tax  sheltered  retirement
plans,  including:  individual  retirement  plans  (IRAs);  simplified  employee
pensions (SEPs);  SIMPLE plans;  401(k) plans;  qualified  corporate pension and
profit  sharing  plans  (for  employees);  tax  deferred  investment  plans (for
employees   of  public   school   systems  and  certain   types  of   charitable
organizations); and other qualified retirement plans. Contact the Transfer Agent
for the  procedure  to open an IRA or SEP  plan and  more  specific  information
regarding these  retirement  plan options.  Please consult with your attorney or
tax advisor  regarding these plans.  You must pay custodial fees for your IRA by
redemption of sufficient shares of the Fund from the IRA unless you pay the fees
directly to the IRA  custodian.  Call the Transfer Agent about the IRA custodial
fees.



<PAGE>



Other Purchase Information


      Each Fund may limit the  amount  of  purchases  and  refuse to sell to any
person.  If your check or wire does not clear,  you will be responsible  for any
loss  incurred  by the Funds.  If you are already a  shareholder,  the Funds can
redeem  shares  from  any  identically   registered  account  in  the  Funds  as
reimbursement  for any loss incurred.  You may be prohibited or restricted  from
making future purchases in the Funds.

                              HOW TO REDEEM SHARES


      All redemptions  will be made at the net asset value  determined after the
redemption  request has been received by the Transfer Agent in proper form, less
any applicable CDSC. You may receive redemption  payments in the form of a check
or federal wire  transfer.  Presently  there is no charge for wire  redemptions;
however,  the Funds may charge for this  service in the future.  Any charges for
wire  redemptions  will be  deducted  from the  shareholder's  Fund  account  by
redemption of shares. If you redeem your shares through a broker/dealer or other
institution, you may be charged a fee by that institution.


      By Mail -  You may redeem any part of your account in a Fund at no charge
by mail.  Your request should be addressed to:


U.S. Mail: Westcott Funds                      Overnight: Westcott Funds
                Unified Fund Services, Inc.        Unified Fund Services, Inc.
                P.O. Box 6110                      431 North Pennsylvania Street
                Indianapolis, Indiana  46206-6110  Indianapolis, Indiana  46204

      "Proper form" means your request for a redemption must include your letter
of instruction,  including the Fund name, account number,  account name(s),  the
address  and the  dollar  amount or number of shares  you wish to  redeem.  This
request must be signed by all registered share owner(s) in the exact name(s) and
any special  capacity in which they are  registered.  For all  redemptions,  the
Funds  require  that  signatures  be  guaranteed  by a bank or member  firm of a
national  securities  exchange.  Signature  guarantees are for the protection of
shareholders. At the discretion of the Funds or Unified Fund Services, Inc., you
may  be  required  to  furnish  additional  legal  documents  to  insure  proper
authorization.

      By  Telephone  - You may  redeem  any  part of your  account  in a Fund by
calling the Transfer Agent (800) 998-6658.  You must first complete the Optional
Telephone  Redemption  and Exchange  section of the  investment  application  to
institute  this option.  The Fund,  the Transfer Agent and the custodian are not
liable  for  following  redemption  or  exchange  instructions  communicated  by
telephone that they reasonably  believe to be genuine.  However,  if they do not
employ reasonable procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine,
they  may  be  liable  for  any  losses  due  to   unauthorized   or  fraudulent
instructions.  Procedures employed may include recording telephone  instructions
and requiring a form of personal identification from the caller.


      The Funds may terminate the telephone  redemption and exchange  procedures
at any time.  During  periods of extreme  market  activity it is  possible  that
shareholders  may encounter some difficulty in telephoning  the Funds,  although
neither the Funds nor the Transfer Agent has ever  experienced  difficulties  in
receiving  and  in  a  timely  fashion  responding  to  telephone  requests  for
redemptions or exchanges. If you are unable to reach the Funds by telephone, you
may request a redemption or exchange by mail.

      Additional  Information - If you are not certain of the requirements for a
redemption  please  call  the  Transfer  Agent at  (800)  998-6658.  Redemptions
specifying  a  certain  date or  share  price  cannot  be  accepted  and will be
returned.  You will be mailed the  proceeds on or before the fifth  business day
following the  redemption.  However,  payment for redemption made against shares
purchased by check will be made only after the check has been  collected,  which
normally may take up to fifteen  calendar  days.  Also,  when the New York Stock
Exchange is closed (or when trading is restricted) for any reason other than its
customary  weekend or holiday closing or under any emergency  circumstances,  as
determined  by the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission,  the Funds may suspend
redemptions or postpone payment dates.


      Because the Funds incur  certain  fixed costs in  maintaining  shareholder
accounts,  each Fund may require you to redeem all of your shares in the Fund on
30 days'  written  notice if the  value of your  shares in the Fund is less than
$1,000 due to redemption, or such other minimum amount as the Fund may determine
from time to time. An  involuntary  redemption  constitutes  a sale.  You should
consult  your  tax  advisor  concerning  the  tax  consequences  of  involuntary
redemptions.  You may  increase  the  value  of your  shares  in the Fund to the
minimum  amount within the 30 day period.  Your shares are subject to redemption
at any time if the Board of  Trustees  determines  in its sole  discretion  that
failure to so redeem may have materially  adverse  consequences to all or any of
the shareholders of the Funds.


                             HOW TO EXCHANGE SHARES


      You may exchange any or all of your shares in a Fund for shares of another
Westcott  Fund or The Cash Fund, a  separately  managed  money market fund.  The
exchange is made without  charge unless you exchange Class A shares of the Fixed
Income  Fund for Class A shares of  another  Westcott  Fund with a higher  sales
load. In that case, you would pay the incremental  amount of the sales load. For
exchanges between Westcott Funds,  shares of a particular class may be exchanged
only for shares of the same class.

      You may request the exchange by  telephoning  the Transfer  Agent at (800)
998-6658 or writing the Transfer Agent at P.O. Box 6110,  Indianapolis,  Indiana
46206-6110.  Shares of the fund  selected  must be  registered  for sale in your
state  of  residence.  The  exchange  privilege  with  The  Cash  Fund  does not
constitute  an  offering  or  recommendation  of  The  Cash  Fund.  It  is  your
responsibility  to obtain and read a prospectus of The Cash Fund before you make
an exchange.


o    You may make up to one  exchange  out of each Fund during a calendar  month
     and four  exchanges  out of each Fund  during a calendar  year.  This limit
     helps  keep each  Fund's  net asset  base  stable  and  reduces  the Fund's
     administrative expenses.

o    If you exchange  shares into or out of a Fund,  the exchange is made at the
     net asset value per share of each Fund next  determined  after the exchange
     request is received, plus any applicable sales load.


o    If you  exchange  Class B shares of a Fund for The Cash Fund,  the time you
     own The Cash Fund shares will not be included  when the holding  period for
     the CDSC is calculated.


o    If you exchange Class B shares of a Westcott Fund for another Westcott Fund
     (or Class A shares of a Westcott  Fund that were  subject to a CDSC because
     of a sales load  waiver),  the holding  periods are  combined,  however the
     highest applicable CDSC will be charged if the shares are redeemed.

o    If you exchange only a portion of your Class B shares, shares not subject
     to a CDSC are exchanged first.

o    If you redeem shares from The Cash Fund that were previously Class B shares
     of a Westcott  Fund (or Class A shares of a Westcott Fund that were subject
     to a CDSC because of a sales load  waiver),  the  redemption is made at the
     net asset value per share next determined  after the redemption  request is
     received, less any CDSC that applied to the Westcott Fund shares.


      In times of extreme economic or market conditions,  exchanging Fund or The
Cash Fund shares by  telephone  may be  difficult.  To receive a specific  day's
price,  your letter or call must be received  before that day's close of the New
York  Stock  Exchange.  A day or more  delay  may be  experienced  prior  to the
investment  of the  redemption  proceeds  into  The  Cash  Fund.  Each  exchange
represents  the sale of  shares  from one Fund and the  purchase  of  shares  in
another, which may produce a gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes.

      All exchanges out of a Westcott Fund into The Cash Fund are subject to the
minimum and  subsequent  investment  requirements  of The Cash Fund. No exchange
will be accepted  unless the  registration  of the two  accounts  is  identical.
Neither the Funds, The Cash Fund, nor the Transfer Agent assumes  responsibility
for the  authenticity of exchange  instructions  communicated by telephone or in
writing which are believed to be genuine. They will use reasonable procedures to
confirm that telephone instructions are genuine.


                        DETERMINATION OF NET ASSET VALUE

      The price you pay for your  shares is based on the  applicable  Fund's net
asset  value per share  (NAV).  The NAV is  calculated  at the close of  trading
(normally  4:00 p.m.  Eastern  time) on each day the New York Stock  Exchange is
open for business (the Stock  Exchange is closed on weekends,  Federal  holidays
and Good  Friday).  The NAV is  calculated  by dividing  the value of the Fund's
total assets  (including  interest and  dividends  accrued but not yet received)
minus  liabilities  (including  accrued  expenses) by the total number of shares
outstanding.

      The Funds'  assets are generally  valued at their market value.  If market
prices are not  available,  or if an event occurs after the close of the trading
market that  materially  affects the values,  assets may be valued at their fair
value.

      Requests  to  purchase  and  sell  shares  are  processed  at the NAV next
calculated after we receive your order in proper form.


                       DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES


      Dividends and Distributions. Each Fund typically distributes substantially
all of its net  investment  income in the form of dividends and taxable  capital
gains to its shareholders.  These distributions are automatically  reinvested in
the Fund unless you request cash  distributions on your application or through a
written  request.  Dividends  paid by the Funds may be  eligible in part for the
dividends received deduction for corporations.

      Taxes.  In general,  selling shares of a Fund and receiving  distributions
(whether  reinvested  or taken in cash) are  taxable  events.  Depending  on the
purchase  price and the sale price,  you may have a gain or a loss on any shares
sold.  Any tax  liabilities  generated  by  your  transactions  or by  receiving
distributions  are  your  responsibility.  Because  distributions  of long  term
capital  gains are subject to capital  gains taxes,  regardless  of how long you
have owned your shares,  you may want to avoid making a  substantial  investment
when a Fund is about to make a long term capital gains distribution.

      Early each year, the Funds will mail to you a statement  setting forth the
federal income tax  information for all  distributions  made during the previous
year. If you do not provide your taxpayer  identification  number,  your account
will be subject to backup withholding.

      The  tax  considerations  described  in  this  section  do  not  apply  to
tax-deferred accounts or other non-taxable entities. Because each investor's tax
circumstances  are  unique,  please  consult  with your tax  adviser  about your
investment.

                             MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS


      Aegis Management,  Inc., 230 Westcott St., Suite 1, Houston,  Texas 77007,
serves as investment  adviser to the Funds. The adviser was organized as a Texas
corporation in 1993. The adviser  manages large  capitalization  equity,  medium
capitalization  equity,  balanced and fixed income  portfolios  for a variety of
tax-exempt and taxable clients.  The investment decisions for each Fund are made
by a committee of the adviser, which is primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of each Fund's portfolio.  Each Fund is authorized to pay the adviser
an annual fee as follows:  Technology Fund,  1.70%;  Large-Cap Fund,  1.00%; and
Fixed Income Fund, 0.75%.


                       OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT INVESTMENTS


      The  Technology  Fund  invests  at least  25% of its  assets  in  internet
companies.  The internet is a global  network of computers  that allows users to
quickly and easily share information and conduct business. Users of the internet
include  commercial and professional  organizations,  educational  institutions,
government  agencies  and  consumers;  they  use  the  internet  to  communicate
electronically,  access and share information and conduct business. Internet and
internet related  companies  include internet access  providers;  companies that
develop  software  tools to access the internet and facilitate  secure  internet
transactions;  companies that manufacture  personal computers and other hardware
used in conjunction with the internet;  companies that manufacture  software and
other technologies used in conjunction with the internet;  companies engaging in
electronic  commerce;  companies  publishing  information  about  the  internet;
companies that develop or provide  communication systems or other infrastructure
for the internet;  companies that supply  information,  such as games, music and
video, on the internet;  companies that consult on the design and implementation
of internet  strategies;  and other internet and intranet related businesses and
technologies.  The  types  of  companies  that  are  considered  "internet"  and
"internet related" companies will change as technology and applications change.

      The Fixed Income Fund invests  primarily in investment  grade fixed income
securities.  The Fund may also  invest  in fixed  income  securities  which  are
unrated if the Fund's adviser  determines that they are of comparable quality to
securities rated investment  grade.  Investment grade debt securities  generally
have adequate to strong  protection of principal and interest  payments.  In the
lower end of this category,  credit quality may be more susceptible to potential
future changes in circumstances and the securities have speculative elements. In
addition,  changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely
to lead to a weakened capacity to make principal and interest payments than with
higher grade  securities.  If the rating of an investment  grade  security drops
below investment  grade, the Fund's adviser will dispose of the security as soon
as practicable  (depending on market  conditions)  unless the adviser determines
based on its own credit  analysis that the security  provides the opportunity of
meeting the Fund's objective without presenting excessive risk.

      The Technology  Fund and the Large-Cap Fund are each expected under normal
circumstances  to  invest  no  more  than  15% of its  net  assets  in  American
Depositary  Receipts  (ADRs).  An ADR is a certificate of ownership issued by an
U.S.  bank as a  convenience  to  investors  instead of the  underlying  foreign
security,  which the bank holds in  custody.  In  general,  foreign  investments
involve  higher  risks than U.S.  investments.  Foreign  markets tend to be more
volatile  than  those  of the U.S.  and  bring  increased  exposure  to  foreign
economic,  political  and other  events  that can have a negative  effect on the
value of issuers in a particular foreign country.

      Each Fund may from time to time take  temporary  defensive  positions that
are inconsistent with the Fund's principal  investment  strategies in attempting
to respond to adverse  market,  economic,  political  or other  conditions.  For
example,  any Fund  may hold all or a  portion  of its  assets  in money  market
instruments,  securities of no-load mutual funds or repurchase agreements.  If a
Fund invests in shares of another  mutual  fund,  the  shareholders  of the Fund
generally  will be  subject  to  duplicative  management  fees.  As a result  of
engaging in these temporary measures, the Funds may not achieve their investment
objectives.  Each  Fund  may  also  invest  in such  instruments  at any time to
maintain  liquidity or pending  selection of investments in accordance  with its
policies.


      The  investment  objectives  and  strategies  of any Fund  may be  changed
without shareholder approval.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST AND THE FUND

      The Westcott  Technology Fund,  Westcott Large-Cap Fund and Westcott Fixed
Income Fund (each a "Fund" or  collectively,  the  "Funds")  were  organized  as
diversified  series of AmeriPrime Funds (the "Trust") on September 29, 1999. The
Trust is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Ohio by an
Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated August 8, 1995 (the "Trust Agreement").
The Trust Agreement  permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of shares
of beneficial interest of separate series without par value. Each Fund is one of
a series of funds currently  authorized by the Trustees.  The investment advisor
to each Fund is Aegis Asset  Management,  Inc.  (the  "Advisor").  The  Westcott
Technology Fund commenced operations on December 9, 1999. As of the date of this
Statement  of  Additional  Information,  the  Westcott  Large-Cap  Fund  and the
Westcott Fixed Income Fund have not commenced operations.

     The  Funds  do not  issue  share  certificates.  All  shares  are  held  in
non-certificate  form  registered on the books of the Fund's  transfer agent for
the  account of the  shareholders.  Each share of a series  represents  an equal
proportionate  interest in the assets and  liabilities  belonging to that series
with each other  share of that  series and is  entitled  to such  dividends  and
distributions  out of income  belonging  to the  series as are  declared  by the
Trustees.  The shares do not have cumulative  voting rights or any preemptive or
conversion  rights,  and the Trustees  have the  authority  from time to time to
divide or combine  the shares of any series  into a greater or lesser  number of
shares of that series so long as the  proportionate  beneficial  interest in the
assets belonging to that series and the rights of shares of any other series are
in no way  affected.  In case of any  liquidation  of a series,  the  holders of
shares of the series being  liquidated  will be entitled to receive as a class a
distribution  out of the  assets,  net of the  liabilities,  belonging  to  that
series.  Expenses  attributable  to any  series  are borne by that  series.  Any
general  expenses  of the Trust  not  readily  identifiable  as  belonging  to a
particular  series are  allocated  by or under the  direction of the Trustees in
such manner as the Trustees  determine to be fair and equitable.  No shareholder
is liable to further  calls or to  assessment  by the Trust  without  his or her
express consent.

      Prior to the public offering of the Funds,  Unified Financial  Securities,
Inc. (the Fund's distributor), 1793 Kingswood Drive, Suite 200, Southlake, Texas
76092, purchased all of the outstanding shares of each Fund and may be deemed to
control the Funds. After the public offering  commences,  it is anticipated that
Unified  Financial  Securities,  Inc. will no longer  control the Funds.  As the
controlling  shareholder,  Unified Financial Securities,  Inc. would control the
outcome of any proposal  submitted to the shareholders  for approval,  including
changes  to a  Fund's  fundamental  policies  or the  terms  of  the  management
agreement with the Advisor.

      For  information  concerning  the purchase and redemption of shares of the
Fund,  see  "How  to Buy  Shares"  and  "How to  Redeem  Shares"  in the  Fund's
Prospectus.  For a description  of the methods used to determine the share price
and value of the Fund's assets,  see  "Determination  of Net Asset Value" in the
Funds' Prospectus.

      As  of  December  6,  2000,  the  following   persons  may  be  deemed  to
beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of the Westcott Technology Fund Class
A Shares:  Margaret  Guerriero,  Post Office Box 2052,  Jersey City,  New Jersey

beneficially  own five  percent  (5%) or more of the  Westcott  Technology  Fund
Institutional Shares:  Eckhard Pfeiffer,  Post Office Box 2052, Jersey City, New
Jersey 07303-9998 - 49.33%; and Joann Dillon, Post Office Box 2052, Jersey City,
New Jersey 07303-9998 - 17.59%.

      As of  December  6, 2000,  Eckhard  Pfeiffer  may be deemed to control the
Westcott  Technology Fund as a result of his beneficial  ownership of the shares
of the Fund. As a controlling  shareholder,  he would control the outcome of any
proposal  submitted to the shareholders for approval,  including  changes to the
Fund's  fundamental  policies or the terms of the management  agreement with the
Fund's adviser.]

     As of December 6, 2000,  the  officers and trustees of the Trust as a group
beneficially owned less than 1% of the Westcott Technology Fund.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT FUND INVESTMENTS AND RISK CONSIDERATIONS

      This  section  contains  a  more  detailed   discussion  of  some  of  the
investments  the  Fund  may make  and  some of the  techniques  it may  use,  as
described in the Prospectus  (see  "Investment  Objectives and  Strategies"  and
"Investment Policies and Techniques and Risk Considerations").

      A. American  Depositary Receipts (ADRs). ADRs are subject to risks similar
to those associated with direct investment in foreign  securities.  For example,
there may be less  information  publicly  available about a foreign company then
about a U.S.  company,  and  foreign  companies  are not  generally  subject  to
accounting,  auditing and financial reporting standards and practices comparable
to those  in the  U.S.  Other  risks  associated  with  investments  in  foreign
securities include changes in restrictions on foreign currency  transactions and
rates of  exchanges,  changes in the  administrations  or economic  and monetary
policies of foreign governments, the imposition of exchange control regulations,
the possibility of expropriation  decrees and other adverse foreign governmental
action,  the imposition of foreign taxes,  less liquid markets,  less government
supervision  of  exchanges,   brokers  and  issuers,   difficulty  in  enforcing
contractual  obligations,  delays in settlement of securities  transactions  and
greater price  volatility.  In addition,  investing in foreign  securities  will
generally  result in higher  commissions  than  investing  in  similar  domestic
securities. The Funds have no present intention to invest in unsponsored ADRs.

      B. Fixed  Income  Securities.  The Fixed Income Fund may invest in a broad
range of fixed income  securities,  including  corporate debt  securities,  U.S.
government   securities,   mortgage-backed   securities,   zero  coupon   bonds,
asset-backed and  receivable-backed  securities and  participation  interests in
such securities.  Preferred stock and certain common stock  equivalents may also
be  considered  to be fixed  income  securities.  Fixed  income  securities  are
generally considered to be interest rate sensitive, which means that their value
will  generally  decrease  when  interest  rates rise and increase when interest
rates fall.  Securities  with shorter  maturities,  while offering lower yields,
generally  provide  greater price  stability than longer term securities and are
less affected by changes in interest rates.

      Corporate debt  securities are bonds or notes issued by  corporations  and
other business  organizations,  including  business trusts,  in order to finance
their credit needs.  Corporate debt securities  include  commercial  paper which
consists of short term (usually from one to two hundred  seventy days) unsecured
promissory  notes  issued by  corporations  in order to  finance  their  current
operations.  The Advisor considers corporate debt securities to be of investment
grade  quality if they are rated BBB or higher by Standard & Poor's  Corporation
("S&P"), Baa or higher by Moody's Investors Services,  Inc.  ("Moody's"),  or if
unrated, determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. Investment grade
debt  securities  generally have adequate to strong  protection of principal and
interest payments. In the lower end of this category, credit quality may be more
susceptible to potential future changes in circumstances and the securities have
speculative  elements. If the rating of a security by S&P or Moody's drops below
investment  grade,  the  Advisor  will  dispose  of  the  security  as  soon  as
practicable (depending on market conditions) unless the Advisor determines based
on its own credit analysis that the security provides the opportunity of meeting
the Fund's objective without presenting excessive risk.

      Convertible  bonds may be  converted  into or  exchanged  for a prescribed
amount of common  stock of the same or a different  issuer  within a  particular
period of time at a specified price or formula. A convertible  security entitles
the holder to receive interest generally paid or accrued on debt or the dividend
paid on preferred stock until the convertible  security  matures or is redeemed,
converted or exchanged.  Convertible  securities have several unique  investment
characteristics,  such as (a) higher yields than common stocks, but lower yields
than comparable nonconvertible securities, (b) a lesser degree of fluctuation in
value than the  underlying  stock since they have fixed income  characteristics,
and (c) the  potential  for  capital  appreciation  if the  market  price of the
underlying  common stock increases.  A convertible  security might be subject to
redemption at the option of the issuer at a price established in the convertible
security's governing  instrument.  If a convertible security held by the Fund is
called for  redemption,  the Fund may be required to permit the issuer to redeem
the security.

      Municipal securities are long and short term debt obligations issued by or
on behalf of states,  territories  and  possessions  of the United  States,  the
District   of   Columbia   and   their   political    subdivisions,    agencies,
instrumentalities   and  authorities,   as  well  as  other  qualifying  issuers
(including the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam), the income from which
is exempt from regular federal income tax and exempt from state tax in the state
of  issuance.  Municipal  securities  are issued to obtain  funds to  construct,
repair or improve various public facilities such as airports, bridges, highways,
hospitals,  housing,  schools, streets and water and sewer works, to pay general
operating expenses or to refinance outstanding debts. They also may be issued to
finance various private activities,  including the lending of funds to public or
private  institutions  for  construction  of  housing,  educational  or  medical
facilities or the financing of privately owned or operated facilities. Municipal
securities  consist  of tax  exempt  bonds,  tax  exempt  notes  and tax  exempt
commercial  paper.  Municipal  notes,  which are generally used to provide short
term  capital  needs  and  have  maturities  of one year of  less,  include  tax
anticipation  notes,  revenue  anticipation  notes, bond anticipation  notes and
construction loan notes. Tax exempt commercial paper typically  represents short
term,  unsecured,  negotiable  promissory  notes.  The Fund may  invest in other
municipal securities such as variable rate demand instruments.

      The two principal  classifications  of municipal  securities  are "general
obligations"  and "revenue"  bonds.  General  obligation bonds are backed by the
issuer's full credit and taxing power.  Revenue bonds are backed by the revenues
of a specific project, facility or tax. Industrial development revenue bonds are
a specific  type of revenue  bond backed by the credit of the private  issuer of
the facility,  and therefore investments in these bonds have more potential risk
that the issuer will not be able to meet  scheduled  payments of  principal  and
interest.

      The Advisor  considers  municipal  securities  to be of  investment  grade
quality if they are rated BBB or higher by S&P, Baa or higher by Moody's,  or if
unrated, determined by the Advisor to be of comparable quality. Investment grade
debt  securities  generally have adequate to strong  protection of principal and
interest payments. In the lower end of this category, credit quality may be more
susceptible to potential future changes in circumstances and the securities have
speculative  elements. If the rating of a security by S&P or Moody's drops below
investment  grade,  the  Advisor  will  dispose  of  the  security  as  soon  as
practicable (depending on market conditions) unless the Advisor determines based
on its own credit analysis that the security provides the opportunity of meeting
the Fund's objective without presenting excessive risk.

      U.S.  government  securities may be backed by the credit of the government
as a whole or only by the issuing agency.  U.S. Treasury bonds, notes, and bills
and  some  agency  securities,  such as  those  issued  by the  Federal  Housing
Administration  and the Government  National Mortgage  Association  (GNMA),  are
backed by the full  faith and  credit of the U.S.  government  as to  payment of
principal and interest and are the highest quality government securities.  Other
securities  issued by U.S.  government  agencies or  instrumentalities,  such as
securities  issued by the  Federal  Home Loan  Banks and the  Federal  Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation, are supported only by the credit of the agency that issued
them,  and not by the U.S.  government.  Securities  issued by the Federal  Farm
Credit  System,  the Federal  Land  Banks,  and the  Federal  National  Mortgage
Association  (FNMA) are supported by the agency's right to borrow money from the
U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances,  but are not backed by the full faith
and credit of the U.S. government.

      Mortgage-backed  securities  represent an interest in a pool of mortgages.
These  securities,  including  securities  issued  by  FNMA  and  GNMA,  provide
investors  with  payments  consisting  of both  interest  and  principal  as the
mortgages in the  underlying  mortgage  pools are repaid.  Unscheduled  or early
payments on the  underlying  mortgages  may shorten  the  securities'  effective
maturities.  The average life of securities  representing  interests in pools of
mortgage loans is likely to be substantially  less than the original maturity of
the mortgage pools as a result of prepayments or foreclosures of such mortgages.
Prepayments are passed through to the registered holder with the regular monthly
payments of  principal  and  interest,  and have the effect of  reducing  future
payments.  To the extent the  mortgages  underlying a security  representing  an
interest  in a pool  of  mortgages  are  prepaid,  the  Fixed  Income  Fund  may
experience a loss (if the price at which the respective security was acquired by
the Fund was at a premium  over  par,  which  represents  the price at which the
security  will  be sold  upon  prepayment).  In  addition,  prepayments  of such
securities  held by the Fund  will  reduce  the  share  price of the Fund to the
extent the market  value of the  securities  at the time of  prepayment  exceeds
their par value.  Furthermore,  the prices of mortgage-backed  securities can be
significantly affected by changes in interest rates.  Prepayments may occur with
greater  frequency in periods of declining  mortgage rates because,  among other
reasons,  it may be possible  for  mortgagors  to  refinance  their  outstanding
mortgages  at lower  interest  rates.  In such  periods,  it is likely  that any
prepayment proceeds would be reinvested by the Fund at lower rates of return.

      Collateralized  mortgage obligations (CMOs) are securities  collateralized
by mortgages or  mortgage-backed  securities.  CMOs are issued with a variety of
classes or series,  which have  different  maturities  and are often  retired in
sequence.  CMOs may be issued by governmental or non-governmental  entities such
as banks and  other  mortgage  lenders.  Non-government  securities  may offer a
higher  yield  but  also  may be  subject  to  greater  price  fluctuation  than
government  securities.  Investments  in CMOs are  subject  to the same risks as
direct investments in the underlying mortgage and mortgage-backed securities. In
addition,  in the event of a bankruptcy or other default of an entity who issued
the CMO held by the Fund, the Fund could  experience  both delays in liquidating
its position and losses.

      Financial  services  industry   obligations  consist  of  certificates  of
deposit,  time deposits and bankers'  acceptance  certificates.  Certificates of
deposit are negotiable  certificates evidencing the indebtedness of a commercial
bank or a savings and loan  association  to repay funds  deposited with it for a
definite  period of time (usually from fourteen days to one year) at a stated or
variable interest rate. Time deposits are non-negotiable  deposits maintained in
a banking  institution or a savings and loan  association for a specified period
of time at a stated interest rate.  Bankers'  acceptances are credit instruments
evidencing the obligation of a bank to pay a draft which has been drawn on it by
a customer, which instruments reflect the obligation both of the bank and of the
drawer to pay the face amount of the instrument upon maturity.

      Zero coupon  securities are debt  securities  issued or sold at a discount
from their face value which do not entitle the holder to any periodic payment of
interest  prior to  maturity  or a specified  redemption  date (or cash  payment
date).  These involve risks that are similar to those of other debt  securities,
although they may be more volatile,  and certain zero coupon  securities move in
the same  direction  as  interest  rates.  The  amount  of the  discount  varies
depending on the time remaining until maturity or cash payment date,  prevailing
interest  rates,  liquidity of the security and perceived  credit quality of the
issuer.  Zero coupon  securities  also may take the form of debt securities that
have been stripped of their unmatured  interest coupons,  the coupons themselves
and  receipts or  certificates  representing  interests  in such  stripped  debt
obligations and coupons.  The market prices of zero coupon securities  generally
are more volatile than the market prices of interest-bearing  securities and are
likely to  respond  to a greater  degree  to  changes  in  interest  rates  than
interest-bearing securities having similar maturities and credit qualities.

      C.  Foreign  Securities.  The Fixed  Income  Fund may  invest  in  foreign
corporate and foreign  government  securities.  Foreign  government  obligations
generally consist of debt securities supported by national,  state or provincial
governments  or  similar   political  units  or  governmental   agencies.   Such
obligations may or may not be backed by the national government's full faith and
credit and general taxing powers. Investments in foreign securities also include
obligations issued by international  organizations.  International organizations
include  entities  designated or supported by  governmental  entities to promote
economic   reconstruction  or  development  as  well  as  international  banking
institutions and related  government  agencies.  Examples are the  International
Bank for  Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank), the European Coal and
Steel Community,  the Asian Development Bank and the  InterAmerican  Development
Bank. In addition, investments in foreign securities may include debt securities
denominated   in   multinational   currency   units  of  an  issuer   (including
international  issuers).  An example  of a  multinational  currency  unit is the
European Currency Unit. A European Currency Unit represents specified amounts of
the currencies of certain member states of the European Economic Community, more
commonly known as the Common Market.

      Purchases of foreign  securities  are usually  made in foreign  currencies
and, as a result, a Fund may incur currency conversion costs and may be affected
favorably or unfavorably by changes in the value of foreign  currencies  against
the U.S. dollar. In addition,  there may be less information  publicly available
about a foreign company then about a U.S. company, and foreign companies are not
generally subject to accounting,  auditing and financial reporting standards and
practices   comparable  to  those  in  the  U.S.  Other  risks  associated  with
investments in foreign  securities  include  changes in  restrictions on foreign
currency transactions and rates of exchanges,  changes in the administrations or
economic  and  monetary  policies  of foreign  governments,  the  imposition  of
exchange control regulations, the possibility of expropriation decrees and other
adverse  foreign  governmental  action,  the imposition of foreign  taxes,  less
liquid markets, less government  supervision of exchanges,  brokers and issuers,
difficulty  in  enforcing  contractual  obligations,  delays  in  settlement  of
securities transactions and greater price volatility. In addition,  investing in
foreign securities will generally result in higher commissions than investing in
similar domestic securities.

      D. Floating Rate, Inverse Floating Rate and Index  Obligations.  The Fixed
Income Fund may invest in debt  securities  with  interest  payments or maturity
values that are not fixed,  but float in  conjunction  with (or inversely to) an
underlying index or price. These securities may be backed by U.S.  Government or
corporate  issuers,  or by collateral such as mortgages.  The indices and prices
upon which such securities can be based include  interest rates,  currency rates
and  commodities  prices.  However,  the Funds will not invest in any instrument
whose value is  computed  based on a multiple of the change in price or value of
an asset or an index of or  relating  to assets in which the Fund cannot or will
not invest.

      Floating rate securities pay interest according to a coupon which is reset
periodically.  The reset  mechanism may be formula based, or reflect the passing
through of floating  interest  payments on an underlying  collateral  pool.  The
coupon is usually reset daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly or semi-annually,  but
other schedules are possible.  Floating rate obligations generally exhibit a low
price  volatility  for a given stated  maturity or average  life  because  their
coupons adjust with changes in interest rates. If their  underlying index is not
an  interest  rate,  or the reset  mechanism  lags the  movement of rates in the
current market, greater price volatility may be experienced.

      Inverse  floating rate  securities are similar to floating rate securities
except that their coupon payments vary inversely with an underlying index by use
of a formula.  Inverse  floating rate  securities  tend to exhibit greater price
volatility  than other  floating  rate  securities.  Because  the changes in the
coupon are usually negatively correlated with changes in overall interest rates,
interest rate risk and price volatility on inverse floating rate obligations can
be high,  especially if leverage is used in the formula.  Index securities pay a
fixed rate of  interest,  but have a maturity  value that varies by formula,  so
that when the obligation matures, a gain or loss is realized.  The risk of index
obligations  depends  on the  volatility  of the  underlying  index,  the coupon
payment and the maturity of the obligation.

      E.  Repurchase  Agreements.   A  repurchase  agreement  is  a  short  term
investment  in which the  purchaser  (i.e.,  a Fund)  acquires  ownership  of an
obligation issued by the U.S.  Government or by an agency of the U.S. Government
(a "U.S.  Government  obligation") (which may be of any maturity) and the seller
agrees to repurchase  the  obligation  at a future time at a set price,  thereby
determining  the yield during the  purchaser's  holding period (usually not more
than seven days from the date of purchase).  Any repurchase transaction in which
a Fund engages will require full  collateralization  of the seller's  obligation
during the entire term of the repurchase agreement. In the event of a bankruptcy
or  other  default  of the  seller,  a Fund  could  experience  both  delays  in
liquidating  the  underlying  security and losses in value.  However,  each Fund
intends to enter into repurchase agreements only with the custodian, other banks
with assets of $1 billion or more and registered  securities  dealers determined
by the Advisor to be creditworthy.  The Advisor monitors the creditworthiness of
the banks  and  securities  dealers  with  which a Fund  engages  in  repurchase
transactions.

     F.  Reverse  Repurchase  Agreements.  The Fixed  Income Fund may enter into
reverse repurchase  agreements.  Reverse repurchase  agreements involve sales of
portfolio  securities by the Fund to member banks of the Federal  Reserve System
or recognized securities dealers,  concurrently with an agreement by the Fund to
repurchase  the  same  securities  at a later  date at a fixed  price,  which is
generally  equal to the  original  sales price plus  interest.  The Fund retains
record ownership and the right to receive interest and principal payments on the
portfolio security involved. The Fund's objective in such a transaction would be
to obtain funds to pursue additional investment  opportunities whose yield would
exceed the cost of the reverse  repurchase  transaction.  Generally,  the use of
reverse  repurchase  agreements  should reduce  portfolio  turnover and increase
yield.  In  connection  with each reverse  repurchase  agreement,  the Fund will
direct its custodian to place cash or U.S. government  obligations in a separate
account in an amount equal to the repurchase  price.  In the event of bankruptcy
or other  default by the  purchaser,  the Fund could  experience  both delays in
repurchasing the portfolio securities and losses.

      When  a  separate   account  is  maintained  in  connection  with  reverse
repurchase agreements,  the securities deposited in the separate account will be
valued  daily at market  for the  purpose of  determining  the  adequacy  of the
securities  in the  account.  If the market value of such  securities  declines,
additional  cash,  U.S.  government   obligations  or  liquid  high  grade  debt
obligations  will be placed in the  account on a daily  basis so that the market
value of the  account  will  equal  the  amount  of the  Fund's  commitments  to
repurchase securities.  To the extent funds are in a separate account, they will
not be available for new investment or to meet redemptions.  Reverse  repurchase
agreements  constitute  a  borrowing  by the Fund and,  together  with all other
borrowings, will not represent more than 5% of the net assets of the Fund.

      Securities  subject to reverse  repurchase  agreements  and the securities
held in the Fund's  portfolio  are subject to changes in market value based upon
the public's perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes in the
level of interest rates (which will generally  result in all of those securities
changing  in value in the same  way,  i.e.,  all those  securities  experiencing
appreciation  when interest rates decline and  depreciation  when interest rates
rise).  Therefore,  if in order to achieve a higher  level of  income,  the Fund
remains  substantially  fully invested at the same time that it has entered into
reverse  repurchase  transactions,  there will be a possibility  that the market
value of the Fund's assets will have greater fluctuation.

INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS

      Fundamental.  The investment limitations described below have been adopted
by the Trust  with  respect  to each Fund and are  fundamental  ("Fundamental"),
i.e., they may not be changed without the affirmative  vote of a majority of the
outstanding  shares of each Fund. As used in the Prospectus and the Statement of
Additional  Information,  the term "majority" of the  outstanding  shares of the
Fund means the lesser of (1) 67% or more of the  outstanding  shares of the Fund
present at a meeting,  if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of the Fund are present or represented at such meeting;  or (2) more than 50% of
the  outstanding  shares of the Fund.  Other  investment  practices which may be
changed by the Board of Trustees  without the  approval of  shareholders  to the
extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  regulation  or  regulatory  policy  are
considered non-fundamental ("Non-Fundamental").

      1.  Borrowing  Money.  The Funds will not borrow money,  except (a) from a
bank,  provided that immediately after such borrowing there is an asset coverage
of 300% for all  borrowings of the Fund; or (b) from a bank or other persons for
temporary  purposes  only,  provided that such  temporary  borrowings  are in an
amount  not  exceeding  5% of the  Fund's  total  assets  at the  time  when the
borrowing is made. This limitation does not preclude the Fund from entering into
reverse repurchase transactions, provided that the Fund has an asset coverage of
300% for all  borrowings  and  repurchase  commitments  of the Fund  pursuant to
reverse repurchase transactions.

      2. Senior  Securities.  The Funds will not issue senior  securities.  This
limitation is not  applicable  to  activities  that may be deemed to involve the
issuance  or sale of a senior  security  by the Fund,  provided  that the Fund's
engagement in such  activities is consistent with or permitted by the Investment
Company  Act  of  1940,  as  amended,  the  rules  and  regulations  promulgated
thereunder or interpretations  of the Securities and Exchange  Commission or its
staff.

     3. Underwriting.  The Funds will not act as underwriter of securities
issued by other  persons.  This  limitation  is not  applicable  to the  extent
that,  in connection with the disposition of portfolio  securities  (including
restricted securities),  the  Fund may be  deemed  an  underwriter  under
certain  federal securities laws.

      4. Real  Estate.  The Funds will not  purchase or sell real  estate.  This
limitation is not applicable to investments in marketable  securities  which are
secured by or  represent  interests  in real estate.  This  limitation  does not
preclude the Fund from investing in mortgage-related  securities or investing in
companies engaged in the real estate business or that have a significant portion
of their assets in real estate (including real estate investment trusts).

     5.  Commodities.  The Funds will not  purchase or sell  commodities  unless
acquired as a result of  ownership  of  securities  or other  investments.  This
limitation  does not preclude  the Fund from  purchasing  or selling  options or
futures  contracts,  from investing in securities or other instruments backed by
commodities  or from  investing in companies  which are engaged in a commodities
business or have a significant portion of their assets in commodities.

      6. Loans.  The Funds will not make loans to other  persons,  except (a) by
loaning portfolio securities,  (b) by engaging in repurchase agreements,  or (c)
by  purchasing  nonpublicly  offered  debt  securities.  For  purposes  of  this
limitation,  the term "loans"  shall not include the purchase of a portion of an
issue of publicly distributed bonds, debentures or other securities.

     7. Concentration. Neither the Large-Cap Fund nor the Fixed Income Fund will
invest  25% or more of its  total  assets  in a  particular  industry.  The
Technology  Fund  will not  invest  25% or more of its  total  assets  in a
particular industry,  other than the internet industry.  This limitation is
not applicable to  investments  in obligations  issued or guaranteed by the
U.S.   government,   its  agencies  and   instrumentalities  or  repurchase
agreements with respect thereto.

      With  respect  to  the  percentages   adopted  by  the  Trust  as  maximum
limitations  on its  investment  policies and  limitations,  an excess above the
fixed percentage will not be a violation of the policy or limitation  unless the
excess results  immediately and directly from the acquisition of any security or
the action taken.  This  paragraph  does not apply to the  borrowing  policy set
forth in paragraph 1 above.

      Notwithstanding any of the foregoing limitations,  any investment company,
whether organized as a trust, association or corporation,  or a personal holding
company,  may be merged or consolidated with or acquired by the Trust,  provided
that if such merger,  consolidation  or acquisition  results in an investment in
the  securities of any issuer  prohibited by said  paragraphs,  the Trust shall,
within  ninety days after the  consummation  of such  merger,  consolidation  or
acquisition, dispose of all of the securities of such issuer so acquired or such
portion  thereof  as  shall  bring  the  total  investment  therein  within  the
limitations imposed by said paragraphs above as of the date of consummation.

      Non-Fundamental.  The following limitations have been adopted by the Trust
with respect to the Fund and are Non-Fundamental (see "Investment  Restrictions"
above).

      1. Pledging.  The Funds will not mortgage,  pledge,  hypothecate or in any
manner transfer, as security for indebtedness,  any assets of the Fund except as
may be necessary in  connection  with  borrowings  described in  limitation  (1)
above. Margin deposits,  security interests,  liens and collateral  arrangements
with respect to transactions involving options,  futures contracts,  short sales
and other permitted  investments and techniques are not deemed to be a mortgage,
pledge or hypothecation of assets for purposes of this limitation.

      2. Borrowing.  No Fund will purchase any security while borrowings
(including reverse repurchase agreements) reresenting more than one third of its
total assets are outstanding.

      3. Margin  Purchases.  No Fund will  purchase  securities  or evidences of
interest  thereon on "margin."  This  limitation is not applicable to short term
credit obtained by a Fund for the clearance of purchases and sales or redemption
of  securities,  or to  arrangements  with  respect  to  transactions  involving
options,  futures  contracts,  short sales and other  permitted  investments and
techniques.

      4. Options.  The Funds will not purchase or sell puts, calls, options or
         straddles.


      5. Illiquid Investments.  The Funds will not invest in securities for
         which there are legal or contractual restrictions on resale and other
         illiquid securities.

     6.  Loans of  Portfolio  Securities.  The  Funds  will  not  make  loans of
     portfolio securities.

THE INVESTMENT ADVISOR

      The investment advisor to the Westcott Funds is Aegis Asset Management,
Inc., 230 Westcott, Suite 1, Houston, Texas 77007 (the "Advisor").  William S.
Kilroy, Jr. is the controlling shareholder of the Advisor.

      Under the terms of the management agreement (the "Agreement"), the Advisor
manages each Fund's investments subject to approval of the Board of Trustees and
pays all of the expenses of each Fund except brokerage,  taxes,  borrowing costs
(such as (a) interest and (b) dividend expenses on securities sold short),  fees
and expenses of the non-interested  person trustees and extraordinary  expenses.
As  compensation  for its  management  services and  agreement to pay the Fund's
expenses,  each Fund is  obligated  to pay the  Advisor a fee  (based on average
daily net assets)  computed and accrued  daily and paid monthly at the following
annual rates:  Technology Fund,  1.70%;  Large-Cap Fund, 1.00%; and Fixed Income
Fund,  0.75%.  For the period  December  9, 1999  (commencement  of  operations)
through  September 30, 2000, the Westcott  Technology Fund paid advisory fees of
$[ ] to the Advisor.

      The Advisor  retains the right to use the name  "Westcott"  in  connection
with another investment company or business enterprise with which the Advisor is
or may  become  associated.  The  Trust's  right  to  use  the  name  "Westcott"
automatically  ceases ninety days after  termination of the Agreement and may be
withdrawn by the Advisor on ninety days written notice.

      The Advisor may make  payments  to banks or other  financial  institutions
that provide shareholder services and administer shareholder accounts. Banks may
charge their customers fees for offering these services to the extent  permitted
by  applicable  regulatory   authorities,   and  the  overall  return  to  those
shareholders  availing  themselves  of the bank  services  will be lower than to
those  shareholders  who do not.  The  Funds  may  from  time  to time  purchase
securities  issued by banks which provide such services;  however,  in selecting
investments for the Funds, no preference will be shown for such securities.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE

      Subject to policies established by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the
Advisor is responsible  for each Fund's  portfolio  decisions and the placing of
each Fund's  portfolio  transactions.  In placing  portfolio  transactions,  the
Advisor seeks the best qualitative  execution for each Fund, taking into account
such factors as price (including the applicable  brokerage  commission or dealer
spread), the execution capability,  financial  responsibility and responsiveness
of the broker or dealer and the brokerage and research  services provided by the
broker or dealer.  The Advisor  generally seeks favorable  prices and commission
rates that are reasonable in relation to the benefits received.  Consistent with
the Rules of Fair Practice of the National  Association  of Securities  Dealers,
Inc., and subject to its obligation of seeking best qualitative  execution,  the
Advisor  may give  consideration  to sales of shares of the Trust as a factor in
the selection of brokers and dealers to execute portfolio transactions.

      The Advisor is  specifically  authorized to select  brokers or dealers who
also  provide  brokerage  and  research  services to the Funds  and/or the other
accounts over which the Advisor exercises investment  discretion and to pay such
brokers or dealers a commission in excess of the  commission  another  broker or
dealer would charge if the Advisor  determines in good faith that the commission
is reasonable  in relation to the value of the  brokerage and research  services
provided.  The determination may be viewed in terms of a particular  transaction
or the Advisor's overall responsibilities with respect to the Trust and to other
accounts over which it exercises investment discretion.

      Research services include supplemental  research,  securities and economic
analyses,  statistical services and information with respect to the availability
of securities  or  purchasers  or sellers of securities  and analyses of reports
concerning  performance of accounts. The research services and other information
furnished by brokers through whom the Funds effect  securities  transactions may
also  be  used by the  Advisor  in  servicing  all of its  accounts.  Similarly,
research and  information  provided by brokers or dealers  serving other clients
may be useful to the  Advisor  in  connection  with its  services  to the Funds.
Although research services and other information are useful to the Funds and the
Advisor,  it is not  possible to place a dollar  value on the research and other
information received. It is the opinion of the Board of Trustees and the Advisor
that the review and study of the research and other  information will not reduce
the overall cost to the Advisor of performing  its duties to the Funds under the
Agreement.

      While each Fund does not deem it practicable  and in its best interests to
solicit competitive bids for commission rates on each transaction, consideration
is  regularly  given to  posted  commission  rates as well as other  information
concerning  the level of  commissions  charged  on  comparable  transactions  by
qualified brokers.

      None of the Funds has any  obligation to deal with any broker or dealer in
the execution of its  transactions.  However,  it is contemplated  that Westcott
Securities,  L.L.C., in its capacity as a registered broker-dealer,  will effect
substantially  all  securities  transactions  which are  executed  on a national
securities  exchange and  over-the-counter  transactions  conducted on an agency
basis.  Such  transactions  will be executed  at  competitive  commission  rates
through Pershing, Inc.

      Over-the-counter   transactions   will  be  placed  either  directly  with
principal market makers or with  broker-dealers,  if the same or a better price,
including commissions and executions, is available.  Fixed income securities are
normally  purchased  directly from the issuer, an underwriter or a market maker.
Purchases  include a concession  paid by the issuer to the  underwriter  and the
purchase price paid to a market maker may include the spread between the bid and
asked prices.

      Under the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940,  persons  affiliated  with an
affiliate of the Advisor (such as Westcott Securities, L.L.C.) may be prohibited
from dealing with a Fund as a principal in the purchase and sale of  securities.
Therefore,  Westcott  Securities,  L.L.C.  will not serve as a Fund's  dealer in
connection with  over-the-counter  transactions.  However,  Westcott Securities,
L.L.C. may serve as a Fund's broker in over-the-counter  transactions  conducted
on an agency basis and will receive  brokerage  commissions  in connection  with
such transactions.  Such agency  transactions will be executed through Pershing,
Inc.

      A Fund  will  not  effect  any  brokerage  transactions  in its  portfolio
securities with Westcott Securities, L.L.C. if such transactions would be unfair
or unreasonable to Fund  shareholders,  and the commissions  will be paid solely
for the  execution  of trades  and not for any  other  services.  The  Agreement
provides that  affiliates  of  affiliates  of the Advisor may receive  brokerage
commissions  in connection  with effecting  such  transactions  for the Fund. In
determining the commissions to be paid to Westcott Securities, L.L.C., it is the
policy of each Fund that such  commissions  will, in the judgment of the Trust's
Board of Trustees, be (a) at least as favorable to the Fund as those which would
be charged by other qualified brokers having comparable execution capability and
(b) at least as favorable to the Fund as commissions  contemporaneously  charged
by Westcott Securities,  L.L.C. on comparable  transactions for its most favored
unaffiliated  customers,  except for  customers of Westcott  Securities,  L.L.C.
considered  by a  majority  of  the  Trust's  disinterested  Trustees  not to be
comparable  to the Fund.  The  disinterested  Trustees from time to time review,
among other things,  information relating to the commissions charged by Westcott
Securities,  L.L.C.  to the Fund and its  other  customers,  and rates and other
information concerning the commissions charged by other qualified brokers.

     The Agreement  does not provide for a reduction of the Advisor's fee by the
amount of any  profits  earned by Westcott  Securities,  L.L.C.  from  brokerage
commissions generated from portfolio transactions of the Funds.

      While  the  Funds  contemplate  no  ongoing  arrangements  with any  other
brokerage  firms,  brokerage  business  may be given  from time to time to other
firms.  Westcott  Securities,  L.L.C.  will  not  receive  reciprocal  brokerage
business as a result of the brokerage business placed by the Funds with others.

      When a Fund and another of the Advisor's  clients seek to purchase or sell
the same  security  at or about the same  time,  the  Advisor  may  execute  the
transaction on a combined  ("blocked") basis.  Blocked  transactions can produce
better  execution  for  the  Funds  because  of  the  increased  volume  of  the
transaction.  If the entire blocked order is not filled,  a Fund may not be able
to acquire as large a position in such  security as it desires or it may have to
pay a higher price for the security. Similarly, a Fund may not be able to obtain
as large an execution of an order to sell or as high a price for any  particular
portfolio  security  if the  other  client  desires  to sell the same  portfolio
security  at the same time.  In the event that the entire  blocked  order is not
filled, the purchase or sale will normally be allocated on a pro rata basis. The
allocation  may be adjusted by the Advisor,  taking into account such factors as
the size of the  individual  orders  and  transaction  costs,  when the  Advisor
believes an adjustment is reasonable.

      For the period  December 9, 1999  (commencement  of  operations  ) through
September 30, 2000, the Westcott  Technology Fund paid brokerage  commissions of
$[ ].

      The Trust, the Advisor and the Funds' distributor have each adopted a Code
of Ethics (the "Code") under Rule 17j-1 of the  Investment  Company Act of 1940.
The  personnel  subject  to the Code are  permitted  to  invest  in  securities,
including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund. You may obtain a
copy of the Code from the Securities and Exchange Commission.

DETERMINATION OF SHARE PRICE

      The price (net asset value) of the shares of each Fund is determined as of
4:00 p.m.,  Eastern  time on each day the Trust is open for  business and on any
other day on which  there is  sufficient  trading  in the Fund's  securities  to
materially  affect the net asset value.  The Trust is open for business on every
day except Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays: New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

      Securities   that  are   traded  on  any   exchange   or  on  the   NASDAQ
over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last
sale  price,  a security  is valued at its last bid price  except  when,  in the
Advisor's  opinion,  the last bid price does not accurately  reflect the current
value of the security.  All other securities for which  over-the-counter  market
quotations are readily available are valued at their last bid price. When market
quotations are not readily  available,  when the Advisor determines the last bid
price  does  not  accurately  reflect  the  current  value,  or when  restricted
securities  are being valued,  such  securities are valued as determined in good
faith by the Advisor,  in conformity with  guidelines  adopted by and subject to
review of the Board of Trustees of the Trust.

      Fixed income securities  generally are valued by using market  quotations,
but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the
Advisor  believes such prices  accurately  reflect the fair market value of such
securities.  A pricing service  utilizes  electronic data processing  techniques
based on yield spreads  relating to securities with similar  characteristics  to
determine prices for normal institutional-size  trading units of debt securities
without  regard  to sale or bid  prices.  If the  Advisor  decides  that a price
provided  by the pricing  service  does not  accurately  reflect the fair market
value of the  securities,  when prices are not readily  available from a pricing
service or when restricted or illiquid  securities are being valued,  securities
are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor.  Short term
investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when
acquired,  or which  subsequently are within 60 days of maturity,  are valued by
using the  amortized  cost method of valuation,  which the Board has  determined
will represent fair value.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE

      Each  Fund may  periodically  advertise  "average  annual  total  return."
"Average  annual  total  return,"  as defined  by the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission, is computed by finding the average annual compounded rates of return
for the period  indicated that would equate the initial  amount  invested to the
ending redeemable value, according to the following formula:

                                         P(1+T)n=ERV

         Where:   P        =        a hypothetical $1,000 initial investment
                  T        =        average annual total return
                  n        =        number of years
                  ERV      =        ending redeemable value at the end of the
                                    applicable period of the hypothetical $1,000
                                    investment made at the beginning of the
                                    applicable period

The computation  assumes that all dividends and  distributions are reinvested at
the net asset value on the  reinvestment  dates that the  maximum  sales load is
deducted from the initial  $1,000 and that a complete  redemption  occurs at the
end of the applicable  period.  If the Fund has been in existence less than one,
five or ten years, the time period since the date of the initial public offering
of shares will be substituted for the periods stated.

      A Fund's  "yield" is determined in accordance  with the method  defined by
the Securities and Exchange  Commission.  A yield quotation is based on a 30 day
(or one month) period and is computed by dividing the net investment  income per
share earned  during the period by the maximum  offering  price per share on the
last day of the period, according to the following formula:

                                    Yield = 2[(a-b/cd+1)6-1]
         Where:
         a = dividends and interest earned during the period
         b = expenses accrued for the period (net of reimbursements)
         c = the average  daily number of shares  outstanding  during the period
         that were entitled to receive  dividends d = the maximum offering price
         per share on the last day of the period

Solely for the purpose of computing  yield,  dividend  income is  recognized  by
accruing  1/360 of the stated  dividend  rate of the security  each day that the
Fund owns the  security.  Generally,  interest  earned  (for the  purpose of "a"
above) on debt  obligations is computed by reference to the yield to maturity of
each  obligation  held based on the market  value of the  obligation  (including
actual accrued interest) at the close of business on the last business day prior
to the start of the  30-day  (or one  month)  period  for  which  yield is being
calculated,  or, with respect to  obligations  purchased  during the month,  the
purchase price (plus actual accrued interest).  With respect to the treatment of
discount and premium on mortgage or other  receivable-backed  obligations  which
are expected to be subject to monthly  paydowns of principal and interest,  gain
or loss  attributable to actual monthly paydowns is accounted for as an increase
or decrease to interest  income during the period and discount or premium on the
remaining  security  is not  amortized.  As of the  date  of this  Statement  of
Additional  Information,  the  Westcott  Fixed  Income  Fund  has not  commenced
operations; therefor, no yield for the one month period ended September 30, 2000
is available.

      Each Fund may also advertise performance  information (a "non-standardized
quotation") which is calculated  differently from average annual total return. A
non-standardized  quotation  of total  return may be a  cumulative  return which
measures the percentage  change in the value of an account between the beginning
and end of a period, assuming no activity in the account other than reinvestment
of dividends and capital gains distributions.  A non-standardized  quotation may
also be an average  annual  compounded  rate of return over a specified  period,
which may be a period  different  from those  specified for average annual total
return. In addition,  a  non-standardized  quotation may be an indication of the
value of a $10,000  investment  (made on the date of the initial public offering
of  the  Fund's   shares)  as  of  the  end  of  a   specified   period.   These
non-standardized  quotations do not include the effect of the  applicable  sales
load which, if included, would reduce the quoted performance. A non-standardized
quotation  of total  return will  always be  accompanied  by the Fund's  average
annual total return as described above.

      Each  Fund's  investment  performance  will  vary  depending  upon  market
conditions,  the composition of the Fund's  portfolio and operating  expenses of
the Fund. These factors and possible differences in the methods and time periods
used in calculating non-standardized investment performance should be considered
when comparing the Fund's performance to those of other investment  companies or
investment vehicles. The risks associated with each Fund's investment objective,
policies and techniques  should also be  considered.  At any time in the future,
investment  performance may be higher or lower than past performance,  and there
can be no assurance that any performance will continue.  For the period December
9, 1999  (commencement of operations)  through  September 30, 2000, the Westcott
Technology Fund's average annual total return was [ ]%.

      From time to time, in  advertisements,  sales  literature and  information
furnished to present or prospective shareholders,  the performance of any of the
Funds  may be  compared  to  indices  of broad  groups of  unmanaged  securities
considered to be representative  of or similar to the portfolio  holdings of the
Funds or considered  to be  representative  of the stock market in general.  The
Funds may use the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index,  the NASDAQ Composite Index
or the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

      In addition,  the performance of any of the Funds may be compared to other
groups of mutual  funds  tracked by any widely used  independent  research  firm
which ranks  mutual  funds by overall  performance,  investment  objectives  and
assets,  such as Lipper  Analytical  Services,  Inc. or  Morningstar,  Inc.  The
objectives,  policies, limitations and expenses of other mutual funds in a group
may not be the same as  those  of any of the  Funds.  Performance  rankings  and
ratings  reported  periodically  in  national  financial  publications  such  as
Barron's and Fortune also may be used.

CUSTODIAN

      Firstar Bank, N.A., 425 Walnut Street, M.L 6118,  Cincinnati,  Ohio 45202,
is the custodian (the "Custodian") of the Funds' investments. The Custodian acts
as the Funds'  depository,  safekeeps  its  portfolio  securities,  collects all
income and other payments with respect  thereto,  disburses  funds at the Funds'
request and maintains records in connection with its duties.

through September 30, 2000,  Unified received $[ ] from the Advisor on behalf of
the Westcott Technology Fund for these accounting services.

      Unified also provides the Funds with  administrative  services,  including

Item 25.   Indemnification
--------   ---------------

(a)  Article  VI  of  the   Registrant's   Declaration  of  Trust  provides  for
indemnification of officers and Trustees as follows:

         Section 6.4 Indemnification of Trustees,  Officers, etc. Subject to and
except as otherwise provided in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,  and the
1940 Act, the Trust shall indemnify each of its Trustees and officers (including
persons who serve at the Trust's  request as directors,  officers or trustees of
another  organization  in which  the Trust has any  interest  as a  shareholder,
creditor or otherwise  (hereinafter  referred to as a "Covered  Person") against
all  liabilities,  including but not limited to amounts paid in  satisfaction of
judgments,  in compromise  or as fines and  penalties,  and expenses,  including
reasonable  accountants'  and counsel  fees,  incurred by any Covered  Person in
connection  with  the  defense  or  disposition  of any  action,  suit or  other
proceeding,  whether civil or criminal,  before any court or  administrative  or
legislative  body, in which such Covered Person may be or may have been involved
as a party or  otherwise  or with  which  such  person  may be or may have  been
threatened,  while in office or  thereafter,  by reason of being or having  been
such a Trustee or  officer,  director  or  trustee,  and except  that no Covered
Person  shall  be  indemnified  against  any  liability  to  the  Trust  or  its
Shareholders  to which such Covered Person would  otherwise be subject by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of such Covered Person's office.

         Section 6.5 Advances of Expenses.  The Trust shall  advance  attorneys'
fees or other expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a proceeding to
the full extent  permitted by the Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  the 1940
Act, and Ohio Revised Code Chapter 1707,  as amended.  In the event any of these
laws conflict with Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E), as amended, these laws,
and not Ohio Revised Code Section 1701.13(E), shall govern.

         Section  6.6   Indemnification   Not  Exclusive,   etc.  The  right  of
indemnification  provided by this Article VI shall not be exclusive of or affect
any other  rights to which any such Covered  Person may be entitled.  As used in
this Article VI, "Covered  Person" shall include such person's heirs,  executors
and administrators. Nothing contained in this article shall affect any rights to
indemnification  to which  personnel  of the  Trust,  other  than  Trustees  and
officers,  and other persons may be entitled by contract or otherwise under law,
nor the power of the Trust to  purchase  and  maintain  liability  insurance  on
behalf of any such person.

         The  Registrant  may not pay for insurance  which protects the Trustees
and  officers  against   liabilities   rising  from  action  involving   willful
misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross  negligence or reckless  disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of their offices.

(b) The Registrant may maintain a standard  mutual fund and investment  advisory
professional  and  directors  and  officers  liability  policy.  The policy,  if
maintained, would provide coverage to the Registrant, its Trustees and officers,
and could cover its  advisors,  among  others.  Coverage  under the policy would
include losses by reason of any act, error, omission,  misstatement,  misleading
statement, neglect or breach of duty.

(c)  Pursuant  to  the  Underwriting   Agreement,   the  Trust  shall  indemnify
Underwriter and each of Underwriter's  Employees  (hereinafter  referred to as a
"Covered Person") against all liabilities,  including but not limited to amounts
paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromise or as fines and penalties,  and
expenses,  including  reasonable  accountants' and counsel fees, incurred by any
Covered Person in connection with the defense or disposition of any action, suit
or  other   proceeding,   whether  civil  or  criminal,   before  any  court  or
administrative  or legislative  body, in which such Covered Person may be or may
have been  involved as a party or  otherwise or with which such person may be or
may have been  threatened,  while serving as the underwriter for the Trust or as
one of Underwriter's Employees, or thereafter, by reason of being or having been
the underwriter for the Trust or one of Underwriter's  Employees,  including but
not limited to liabilities arising due to any  misrepresentation or misstatement
in the Trust's prospectus,  other regulatory filings, and amendments thereto, or
in other documents originating from the Trust. In no case shall a Covered Person
be  indemnified  against  any  liability  to which  such  Covered  Person  would
otherwise  be  subject  by reason  of  willful  misfeasance,  bad  faith,  gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of such Covered Person.

(d) Insofar as indemnification  for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees,  officers and  controlling  persons of the
Registrant  pursuant  to the  provisions  of  Ohio  law and  the  Agreement  and
Declaration  of the Registrant or the By-Laws of the  Registrant,  or otherwise,
the  Registrant  has been  advised  that in the  opinion of the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission such  indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is,  therefore,  unenforceable.  In the  event  that a claim  for
indemnification  against  such  liabilities  (other  than  the  payment  by  the
Registrant  of expenses  incurred or paid by a trustee,  officer or  controlling
person of the Trust in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such trustee,  officer or controlling  person in connection  with
the securities being  registered,  the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by  controlling  precedent,  submit to a
court of appropriate  jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification by
it is against  public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
final adjudication of such issue.
