The first paragraph of the “Investment Advisory and Other Services” section on page 20 of the Fund’s SAI is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Investment Advisor of the Fund.  The Fund is advised by Aegis Financial Corporation (the “Advisor”), under an Investment Advisory Agreement initially approved for a two-year period by the Board of Trustees on October 21, 2013 and approved for a two-year period by the Fund’s initial shareholder on February 25, 2014.  The Investment Advisory Agreement became effective on February 25, 2014, and continued in effect for a two-year period. Thereafter, the Investment Advisory Agreement continues in effect from year to year as long as the continuance is approved at least annually (i) by the Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and (ii) by a vote of the majority of the Independent Trustees.  The Advisor is a value-oriented investment firm founded in 1994.  Each of the principals of the Advisor serves as an officer and director of the Advisor.  Scott L. Barbee serves as President and a director of the Advisor, and also serves as President and Trustee of the Trust.  Justin P. Harrison serves as Chief Operating Officer and Chief Compliance Officer of the Advisor, and also serves as Chief Compliance Officer, Secretary and Treasurer to the Trust.  Scott L. Barbee is the sole stockholder of the Advisor and is therefore considered to be a “controlling person” of the Advisor.”
