MIDWEST GROWTH FUND
================================================================================
INVESTMENT GOAL Capital appreciation.
PRINCIPAL STRATEGY
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks and at least 65% of the Fund's total
assets are invested in the common stocks of companies headquartered in the
Midwest region of the United States. This region encompasses Ohio, Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Western New York and Western
Pennsylvania. Although the Fund does not specifically focus on market
capitalization, many of its investments are generally in small-sized and
mid-sized companies, which means companies with less than $5 billion in total
market capitalization.
The common stocks selected for purchase are primarily of companies experiencing
an improvement in profitability or earnings growth compared to other companies.
This improvement can be attributed to the specific company, such as the
influence of a new product cycle. It can also be a function of economic
conditions, such as the beginning or end of a recession, and the company's
sensitivity to these conditions. The fundamentals of a company (which include
earnings and cash flow history and outlook, balance sheet strength, and the
company's product and market position) are also a component of the analysis.
The Fund typically sells a stock when its fundamentals deteriorate, or the stock
falls short of the portfolio manager's expectations or no longer offers good
value relative to its future prospects.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
There are risks associated with any investment, but the risks associated with an
investment in the Fund include:
* stock market risk, or the risk that the price of securities held by the
Fund, as well as the broader stock market, will fall due to various factors
or unpredictable circumstances, including interest rate changes, trends in
the U.S. and world economies and general investor confidence;
* the success of Fund's investments depends on the ability of the portfolio
manager to correctly assess the potential of the stocks purchased for the
Fund;
* because of the Fund's regional focus, the population of companies available
for investment might influence performance under certain market conditions;
also, the Fund's performance is closely tied to general economic conditions
within the Midwest region as a whole and to economic conditions within
particular industries and geographic areas located within the Midwest;
* small and mid-sized capitalization stocks involve certain special risks
including that such stocks may exhibit greater price volatility and be
subject to greater risks of losing value than stocks of companies with
larger market capitalizations; and
* loss of part or all of your money invested in the Fund.
WHAT IS MARKET CAPITALIZATION?
- ------------------------------
There are different ways to measure the size of a company. Market capitalization
is a common way to measure the size of a company based on the price of its
common stock; it is simply the number of outstanding shares of the company
multiplied by the current share price.

GROWTH AND INCOME FUND
================================================================================
INVESTMENT GOALS
Capital appreciation and current income.
PRINCIPAL STRATEGY
The Fund invests principally in the common stocks of well established companies
with long-term growth potential and a history of paying dividends. The portfolio
managers seek growing companies with strong cash flow return that sell at a
discount to the S&P 500 Index. Companies selected must, in the managers'
opinion, have:
* a strong business strategy;
* a durable competitive advantage;
* a record of increasing the dividend over time.
The portfolio managers adhere to a value approach of investment management that
also requires a potential investment to meet other standards such as price/sales
ratios and historical price/earnings ratios relative to the S&P 500 Index and
industry peers. The research process for current and potential investments in
the Fund requires personal visits with company management, as well as other
sources of information such as suppliers, customers, and competitors, to track
original assumptions, verify information, and make changes regarding each
investment. This value style of investing seeks to identify companies that
appear underpriced in regards to their intrinsic worth and future prospects. It
also takes into account the fundamentals of a company which include: earnings
and cash flow history and outlook, balance sheet strength, and the company's
product and market position.
The Fund typically sells a stock when its fundamentals deteriorate, or the stock
falls short of the portfolio managers' expectations or no longer offers good
value.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
There are risks associated with any investment, but the particular risks
associated with your investment in the Fund include:
* stock market risk, or the risk that the price of securities held by the
Fund, as well as the broader stock market will fall due to various factors
or unpredictable circumstances, including interest rate changes, trends in
the U.S. and world economies and general investor confidence;
* the success of the Fund's investments depends on the ability of the
portfolio managers to correctly assess the potential of the stocks
purchased for the Fund; and
* loss of part or all of your money invested in the Fund.
WHAT IS THE PRICE/EARNINGS RATIO?
- --------------------------------
A company's price/earnings ratio is a common measure of the value of a common
stock; it is simply the ratio of the stock's market price to its earnings per
share. For example, a common stock with the P/E of 12 means that its price per
share is twelve times its earnings per share.

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES FUND
================================================================================
INVESTMENT GOALS
Current income consistent with preservation of capital.
PRINCIPAL STRATEGY
The Fund primarily invests in U.S. government and agency securities and expects
to maintain an average portfolio maturity of three to ten years. Normally, at
least 65% of the Fund's total assets are invested in U.S. government securities,
including:
* direct obligations issued by the U.S. Treasury;
* securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or
instrumentalities;
* repurchase agreements, backed by any of the foregoing securities.
PRINCIPAL RISKS
There are risks associated with any investment, but the particular risks
associated with your investment in the Fund include:
* the market value of the Fund's portfolio securities will change in response
to interest rate changes and other factors;
* during periods of falling interest rates, the value of fixed income
securities generally rises; conversely, during periods of rising interest
rates, the value of such securities generally declines;
* securities with longer maturities generally pay higher rates of interest
but they are also subject to greater price volatility due to changes in
interest rates;
* the success of a Fund's investments depends on the ability of the
portfolio managers to correctly assess the potential of the holdings relative
to the market climate and interest rate changes;
* while the U.S. Government or its agencies guarantee the principal and
interest on such obligations, it does not guarantee the market price of such
securities; and
* loss of part or all of your money invested in the Fund.

reimburse expenses.
***These are the net fees and expenses that the Funds
actually incurred for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998 because Roulston
had voluntarily agreed to waive advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses.
Roulston has contractually agreed to continue to waive advisory fees and/or
reimburse expenses for the Funds' fiscal year ending October 31, 1999, to the
extent necessary to maintain each Fund's Net Annual Operating Expenses at the
levels shown in the above table. This undertaking shall continue for additional
one-year terms absent 60 days' notice from Roulston.
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 a Fund for the time periods indicated;
* You redeem all of your shares at the end of each time period;
* Your investment has a hypothetical 5% return each year;
* All dividends are reinvested; and
* Each Fund's operating expenses for the one year period are calculated net
of any fee waivers and/or expenses assumed, and each Fund's operating
expenses for the three year, five year and ten year periods do not reflect
fee waivers and/or expenses assumed.
This example is for comparison purposes only. Actual return and expenses will be
different and each Fund's performance and expenses may be higher or lower. Based
on the above assumptions, your costs for each Fund would be:

THE FAIRPORT FUNDS
================================================================================
OTHER SECURITIES AND RISKS
STOCKS OF SMALL- AND MID-SIZED COMPANIES. The prices of stocks of small- and
mid-sized companies are generally more volatile than those of larger, more
established companies for a variety of factors including lack of market makers
and analysts following such companies. In addition, small- and mid-sized
companies are more sensitive to adverse economic changes because they usually
rely on only a few products, have more limited financial resources and have less
experienced management.
BONDS AND OTHER DEBT SECURITIES. Generally, the Government Securities Fund is
subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that increases in market
interest rates may decrease the value of the bonds or other debt securities held
by that Fund. Usually the prices of bonds fall when interest rates increase, and
rise when interest rates decrease. Typically, the longer the maturity of a bond,
the more sensitive its price is to shifts in interest rates. Because the
Government Securities Fund invests principally in securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies or instrumentalities, there is
very little risk that the principal of and interest on such securities will not
be paid when due.
TEMPORARY DEFENSIVE POSITIONS. In response to economic, political or unusual
market conditions, each Fund may adopt a temporary defensive position. In such
an event, each Fund may invest up to 100% of its assets in cash or money market
instruments. Should this occur, the Fund taking the temporary defensive position
will not achieve its investment objective during that time.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. In a repurchase agreement, the Fund essentially is making
a short-term loan to a broker or bank (seller). The Fund buys securities that
the seller has agreed to buy back at a specific time and at a set price that
includes interest. There is a risk that the seller will be unable to buy back
the securities at the time required, and the Fund could experience delays in
recovering the amounts owed it.
YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE. The Funds could be adversely affected if the computer
systems used by their service providers do not properly process and calculate
date-related information after December 31, 1999. The Year 2000 issue affects
virtually all companies and organizations. While Year 2000-related computer
problems could have a negative effect on the Funds, Roulston and First Data are
working to avoid such problems and to obtain assurances from the Funds' other
service providers that they are taking similar steps. Companies, organizations,
governmental entities and securities in which the Funds invest could be affected
by the Year 2000 issue, but at this time the Funds cannot predict the degree of
impact. To the extent the effect is negative, a Fund's returns could be reduced.
MANAGEMENT OF THE FUNDS
Roulston, 4000 Chester Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio 44103, serves as the investment
adviser for each Fund. Roulston is a professional investment management firm and
registered investment adviser founded in 1963. In addition to advising the
Funds, Roulston provides advisory services to pension plans, corporations,
401(k) plans, profit sharing plans, individual investors, trusts and estates.
Roulston serves as the investment adviser for each Fund pursuant to an
investment advisory agreement. Roulston makes the investment decisions for the
assets of the Funds and continuously reviews, supervises and administers the
investment program of the Funds.
During the fiscal year ended October 31, 1998, the Midwest Growth Fund paid net
advisory fees of .71 % of its average net assets (reflecting fee waivers of .04%
or $34,063), the Growth and Income Fund paid net advisory fees of .70% of its
average net assets (reflecting fee waivers of .05% or $16,411), and the
Government Securities Fund paid net advisory fees of .00% of its average net
assets (reflecting fee waivers of .25% or $11,854).

PRICING FUND SHARES
Fund shares are sold and redeemed (sold back to the Fund) at net asset value
(NAV). NAV per share of each Fund is determined by dividing the total market
value of a Fund's investments and other assets, less any liabilities, by the
total outstanding shares of that Fund. NAV per share for each fund is determined
each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open for regular business at the
earlier of 4 P.M., Eastern Time, or the close of regular trading on the NYSE.
When you place an order to purchase shares or to redeem shares with a Fund or
one of its authorized agents, the shares purchased or redeemed will be priced at
the next NAV or price that is calculated for that Fund. Authorized agents for
the Funds include First Data Investors Group, the Funds' transfer agent, or
certain discount brokers or banks with whom the Funds have entered into
agreements for shareholder servicing.
The portfolio securities of each Fund will be valued at market value. Each Fund
uses one or more pricing services to provide market quotations for equity, fixed
income and variable income securities. If quotations are not available from one
or more pricing services, securities will be valued by a method which the Funds'
Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects fair value. Equity securities
which are listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange or
other market trading system which reports actual transaction prices on a
contemporaneous basis will be valued at the last sales price on the exchange on
which the security is principally traded. For fixed and variable income
securities, the pricing service may use a matrix system of valuation which
considers factors such as securities prices, yield features, call features,
ratings and developments related to a specific security. For further information
regarding the pricing of securities, please see the Statement of Additional
Information.
All requests received by First Data Investor Services Group before 4:00 p.m.,
Eastern Time, will be executed the same day, at that day's closing share price.
Orders received after 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, will be executed the
following day, at that day's closing share price. Shares will not be priced on
days when the NYSE is closed.
Shares of the Funds will not be priced and are not available for purchase the
following days on which the NYSE is closed for trading: New Year's Day, Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence
Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
PURCHASE OF SHARES GENERAL INFORMATION: You may purchase shares of any Fund
directly by mail or by wire. An account application may be obtained by

DISTRIBUTION ARRANGEMENTS
The Funds do not charge up-front or deferred sales charges. Each Fund has
adopted a distribution and shareholder service plan under Rule 12b-1 of the
Investment Company Act, which allows the Funds to pay for the sale and
distribution of their shares, as well as for shareholder services. These fees
generally are paid to persons selling the Funds' shares. The maximum amount that
each Fund may pay under the 12b-1 plan is 0.25% of its average net assets.
Because these fees are paid out of Fund 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.

Selling Recently Purchased Shares:
If the shares to be redeemed were recently purchased by check, proceeds from
your redemption may be delayed up to 15 days from the purchase date until the
purchase check has cleared. If you are considering redeeming shares soon after
purchase, you should purchase by bank wire or certified check to avoid this
possible delay.
Signature Guarantees:
The Funds will require a signature guarantee for any of the following:
- - any written redemption request for $25,000 or more; or
- - a change in address or payee to where redemption proceeds may be
mailed as shown on your account application; or
- - a change in the bank account to which redemption
payments are made.
A signature guarantee may be obtained from most banks or securities dealers, but
not from a notary public.
Accounts With Low Balances:
If your account balance falls below $250 due to redemptions made by you, a Fund
may redeem your share at NAV. The Fund will notify you if your balance has
fallen below the required minimum, and you will have 60 days to meet the minimum
before your shares are redeemed.
Right to Redeem in Kind:
Each of the Funds has elected generally to pay only cash for redemptions of up
to $250,000 (or 1% of the Fund, whichever is less). The Funds will generally
only pay cash for any other redemptions over that amount unless the Funds' Board
of Trustees believes that under current conditions, further payments in cash
would not be in that Fund's best interests. In those situations, you may receive
portfolio securities instead of cash.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The financial highlights tables are intended to help you understand each Fund's
financial performance for the past 5 years. Certain information reflects
financial results for a single fund share. The total returns in each table
represent the rate that you would have earned (or lost) on an investment in a
Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This
information has been audited by McCurdy & Associates CPAs, Inc., whose report,
along with the Funds' financial statements, is included in the Funds' annual
report, which is available upon request.

DIVIDENDS, DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES
DIVIDENDS & DISTRIBUTIONS
Dividends and distributions from the Fund(s) will be automatically used to
purchase additional shares of that Fund unless you have elected to receive
dividends and distributions in cash. If you participate in the systematic
withdrawal plan or any retirement plan, you must have your distributions
reinvested.
The Funds distribute substantially all of their net investment income in the
form of dividends and capital gains in the form of distributions. The Midwest
Growth Fund and the Growth and Income Fund generally pay dividends
semi-annually. The Government Securities Fund declares dividends daily and
distributes them on a monthly basis. Any capital gains realized by a Fund will
be distributed at least annually.
TAX CONSEQUENCES
A Fund pays no federal income tax on earnings distributed to shareholders as
long as it meets the requirements for being a tax-qualified regulated investment
company, which each of the Funds has done in the past and intends to do in the
future. Any dividend or distribution you receive, whether in cash or reinvested,
is considered taxable income to you. Dividends of net investment income are
taxable to you as ordinary income. Capital gains distributions are taxed based
on how long the Fund held the assets that generated such gains. Net short term
capital gains are generally taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
Distributions of net long term capital gains are taxable as long term capital
gains. Shareholders will be advised at least annually as to the federal income
tax consequences of distributions made to them during the year. You are urged to
consult your tax advisor concerning the application of federal, state and local
taxes to your particular situation. An exchange of shares of a Fund for shares
of another Fund is considered to be a sale of Fund shares for tax purposes.
