Note 1 - Investment Valuation
             
                     
The Cavalier Adaptive Income Fund (the "Fund") records its investments in securities at fair value. Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation approaches. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
 
Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
 
Level 1:    quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2:    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3:    significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.
 
Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Fund's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.
 
Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Fund's normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Trustees.

Note 1 - Investment Valuation - Continued
             
                     
Fair value pricing  may be used, for  example,  in situations  where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund's net asset value calculation.  A portfolio security's "fair value" price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Fund's normal pricing procedures.  Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
The Fund has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements.  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a frame work for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.The Fund has adopted FASB guidance updating ASC Topic 820 titled, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly" which provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction that is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.  The guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.

Note 1 - Investment Valuation
             
                     
The Cavalier Dynamic Growth Fund (the "Fund") records its investments in securities at fair value. Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation approaches. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
 
Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
 
Level 1:    quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2:    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3:    significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.
 
Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Fund's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.
 
Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Fund's normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Trustees.

Note 1 - Investment Valuation - Continued
           
                     
Fair value pricing  may be used, for  example,  in situations  where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund's net asset value calculation.  A portfolio security's "fair value" price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Fund's normal pricing procedures.  Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
The Fund has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements.  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a frame work for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.The Fund has adopted FASB guidance updating ASC Topic 820 titled, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly" which provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction that is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.  The guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.

Note 1 - Investment Valuation
               
                     
The Cavalier Fundamental Growth Fund (the "Fund") records its investments in securities at fair value. Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation approaches. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
 
Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
 
Level 1:    quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2:    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3:    significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.
 
Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Fund's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.
 
Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Fund's normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Trustees.

Fair value pricing  may be used, for  example,  in situations  where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund's net asset value calculation.  A portfolio security's "fair value" price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Fund's normal pricing procedures.  Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
The Fund has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements.  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a frame work for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.The Fund has adopted FASB guidance updating ASC Topic 820 titled, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly" which provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction that is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.  The guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.

Note 1 - Investment Valuation
             
                     
The Cavalier Hedged High Income Fund (the "Fund") records its investments in securities at fair value. Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation approaches. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
 
Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
 
Level 1:    quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2:    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3:    significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.
 
Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Fund's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.
 
Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Fund's normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Trustees.

Note 1 - Investment Valuation - Continued
             
                     
Fair value pricing  may be used, for  example,  in situations  where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund's net asset value calculation.  A portfolio security's "fair value" price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Fund's normal pricing procedures.  Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
The Fund has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements.  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a frame work for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.The Fund has adopted FASB guidance updating ASC Topic 820 titled, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly" which provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction that is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.  The guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.

Note 1 - Investment Valuation
             
                     
The Cavalier Tactical Rotation Fund (the "Fund") records its investments in securities at fair value. Under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
 
In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation approaches. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.
 
Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
 
Level 1:    quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2:    other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3:    significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
 
The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed.
 
Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
 
Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Fund's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Fund uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.
 
Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.  Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price.  Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Fund's normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Trustees.

Note 1 - Investment Valuation - Continued
           
                     
Fair value pricing  may be used, for  example,  in situations  where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund's net asset value calculation.  A portfolio security's "fair value" price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Fund's normal pricing procedures.  Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
The Fund has adopted ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements.  ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a frame work for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.The Fund has adopted FASB guidance updating ASC Topic 820 titled, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly" which provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability, when a transaction that is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into fair value measurement.  The guidance emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same.
