Re: Performance for the Annual Period Ending November 30, 2013
Dear Shareholder,
McKinley Capital Management, LLC (“McKinley Capital”) is pleased to release the first annual shareholder report for the McKinley Diversified Income Fund (“Fund”). McKinley Capital was founded in 1990 and is an Alaska based investment management company with approximately $8 billion under management as of November 30, 2013. McKinley Capital was ranked as the 245th largest money manager in the world by Pension and Investments in its May 27, 2013 issue (as ranked by total worldwide institutional assets under management, in millions, as of December 31, 2012).
The goal of the Fund is to produce high current income and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is a diversified and benchmark-agnostic portfolio that uses a bottom-up investment process.
Market Review
Interest rates were higher during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013, with the increase coming in the May to August period. While McKinley Capital does expect interest rates to be higher in 2014, the modest rate of increase will likely mean the growth rate of earnings of most of the Fund’s holdings should exceed the increase in short rates. The rate of increase is what is important for the holdings of the Fund, not the level of increase. Headwinds in the marketplace the next quarter or two will be a potentially quicker U.S. Federal Reserve taper and rising interest rates. The counter balance to that is the potential growth in distribution rates of the Fund’s holdings.
Toward the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, the markets settled into the understanding that the economy was doing better than expected, the political uncertainty in the U.S. was retreating into the background, and Europe was finally starting to recover. All this contributed to a very strong year for equities. In this environment income stocks tend to lag behind.
Despite this environment, there was dividend growth in both the Master Limited Partnerships (“MLP”) and the Business Development Company (“BDC”) holdings. Oil production expansion in the U.S. is reflected in increases in both earnings and distribution in the Fund’s MLP holdings. McKinley Capital is convinced that distribution growth in that section of the market should outpace the rate of increase of 10-year note interest rates. Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT”) continued to reflect the impact of a rising rate environment.
Fund Performance
From Fund inception through fiscal year-end (March 27, 2013 – November 30, 2013), the Fund’s Investor Class Share had a return of 4.88%. On a security type basis, REIT securities detracted from performance while U.S. Common Stock

and BDC holdings provided positive performance. Negative contributions to return were generated by companies such as Southern Copper Corp. (Foreign Stock and American Depositary Receipt), American Capital Agency (REIT) and Redwood Trust, Inc. (REIT). Positions in RR Donnelley & Sons Co. (U.S. Common Stock), The Blackstone Group LP (MLP) and Banco Santander SA (Foreign Stock and American Depositary Receipt) positively impacted the Fund.
Outlook
McKinley Capital believes that 2014 should reflect continued steady economic growth, which should translate into continued growth in the distributions paid by the underlying holdings of the Fund.
McKinley Capital appreciates your support and will continue to focus its efforts on seeking to produce high current income and long-term capital appreciation.
Sincerely,
Robert B. Gillam
President and Chief Executive Officer
McKinley Capital Management, LLC

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund invests in foreign securities which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks than domestic securities. Foreign securities differ in accounting methods. These risks are greater for investments in emerging markets. The Fund invests in smaller companies, which involves additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Fund in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Investing in Master Limited Partnerships (“MLP”s) entails risk related to potential changes in the U.S. tax code which could revoke the pass-through tax attributes that provide the tax efficiencies that make MLPs attractive investment structures. Additional risks include fluctuations in energy prices, decreases in supply of or demand for energy commodities, decreases in demand for MLPs in rising interest rate environments, and various other risks. The value of the Fund’s investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REIT”s) may change in response to changes in the real estate market such as declines in the value of real estate, lack of available capital or financing opportunities, and increases in property taxes or operating costs. Shareholders of the Fund will indirectly be subject to the fees and expenses of the individual REITs in which the Fund invests. The Fund will invest in other investment companies such as Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”s) and closed-end funds and investors will indirectly bear the funds principal risks and its share of these fund fees and

expenses. Shareholders will pay higher expenses than they would if they invested directly in the underlying funds. Shares of closed-end funds frequently trade at a price per share that is less than the net asset value (“NAV”) per share and may have limited market liquidity. An ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its NAV, an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, and the risk that an ETF that seeks to track an index may not effectively track that index. In addition, trading may be halted by the exchange in which the ETFs trade, which may impact the Fund’s ability to sell its shares of an ETF.
Opinions expressed are those of the author and are subject to change, are not intended to be a forecast of future events, a guarantee of future results, nor investment advice.
Investment performance reflects fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced.
Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect from loss in a declining market.
Fund Holdings are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Please see the Schedule of Investments for additional information.
Earnings growth is not representative of the Fund’s future performance.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE
For the Six Months Ended November 30, 2013 (Unaudited)
|
As a shareholder of the McKinley Diversified Income Fund (the “Fund”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs; and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (6/1/13 – 11/30/13).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales load or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Fund’s transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, the Fund’s transfer agent currently charges a $15.00 fee. To the extent the Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds may vary. These expenses are not included in the example below. The example below includes, but is not limited to, investment advisory fees, shareholder servicing fees, distribution fees, fund

accounting fees, custody fees and transfer agent fees. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under generally accepted accounting principles. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees.
Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

McKinley Diversified Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end investment management company. The Fund commenced operations on March 27, 2013.
The Fund offers Institutional and Investor Class shares. Institutional Class shares are offered primarily for direct investment by investors such as pension and profit-sharing plans, employee benefit trusts, endowments, foundations, and corporations. Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that Investor Class shares bear distribution expenses. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek substantial current income and long-term capital appreciation.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
|
A.
|
Security Valuation.
All equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market® (“NASDAQ”), are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on NASDAQ will be valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or NASDAQ security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used.
|
Debt securities are valued by using the mean between the closing bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. If the closing bid and asked prices are not readily available, the independent pricing service may provide a price determined by a matrix pricing

method. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. In the absence of a price from a pricing service, securities are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees.
Short-term securities that have maturities of less than 60 days, at time of purchase, are valued at amortized cost, which when combined with accrued interest, approximates market value.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. At November 30, 2013, the Fund did not hold any fair valued securities.
As described above, the Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:
|
Level 1 –
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 2 –
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
|
|
|
|
|
Level 3 –
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

(Continued)
|
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. 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. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
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 measurements fall in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s net assets as of November 30, 2013. See the Schedule of Investments for industry breakout:

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, 2, or 3 for the period ended November 30, 2013.

Federal Income Taxes.
The Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
|
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, the Fund intends to declare each year as

dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended November 30) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
Net capital losses incurred after November 30, and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year.
As of November 30, 2013, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Massachusetts State. As of November 30, 2013, the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
|
C.
|
Security Transactions and Investment Income.
Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
|
|
D.
|
Distributions to Shareholders.
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income normally are declared and paid at least quarterly. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities for the Fund normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
|
|
E.
|
Use of Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Share Valuation.
The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for the Fund is equal to the Fund’s net asset value per share.
|
|
G.
|
Guarantees and Indemnifications.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
|
|
H.
|
Reclassifications of Capital Accounts.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the period ended November 30, 2013, the Fund decreased accumulated net realized loss $1,330,892, decreased paid-in capital $1,252,403 and decreased undistributed net investment income $78,489.

Subsequent Events.
In preparing these financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. The Fund has determined that there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Fund’s financial statements.

|
Recent Accounting Pronouncement.
In January 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2013-01
Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities
. The amendments in this ASU require an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented. Management has evaluated and adopted ASU 2013-01 and has determined there is no impact to the Fund.

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
|
McKinley Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) provides the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”). Under the Agreement, the Adviser furnishes all investment advice, office space, certain administrative services, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.80% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the period ended November 30, 2013, the Fund incurred $77,980 in advisory fees.
The Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit Fund expenses by reducing all or a portion of its fees and reimbursing the Fund expenses so that its ratio of expenses to average net assets will not exceed 1.20% and 1.45% for the Institutional Class and Investor Class shares, respectively. The contract’s term is indefinite and may be terminated only by the Board of Trustees. For the period ended November 30, 2013, the amount that exceeded the ratio of expenses was $121,347. As of November 30, 2013, the amount due from the Adviser was $4,313.
Any fees waived and/or any Fund expenses absorbed by the Adviser pursuant to an agreed upon expense cap shall be reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, any time before the end of the third fiscal year following the year to which the fee waiver and/or expense absorption relates, provided the aggregate amount of the Fund’s current operating expenses for such fiscal year does not exceed the applicable limitation on Fund expenses. The Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is entitled to any reimbursements of its fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval. At November 30, 2013, the cumulative unreimbursed amount paid and/or waived by the Adviser on behalf of the Fund that may be recouped was $121,347. The Adviser may recapture portions of this amount no later than November 30, 2016.
U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC (“USBFS”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, serves as the Fund’s Administrator (“Administrator”) and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and accounting services for the Fund. USBFS also serves as the Fund’s fund accountant and transfer agent. The Administrator prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Fund; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the trustees; monitors the activities of the Fund’s custodian, transfer agent and accountants; coordinates the preparation and

payment of the Fund’s expenses and reviews the Fund’s expense accruals. The officers of the Trust and the Chief Compliance Officer are also employees of the Administrator. As compensation for its services, the Administrator is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. Fees paid by the Fund for Administration and Chief Compliance Officer services for the period ended November 30, 2013 are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.
Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. U.S. Bank, N.A. (the “Custodian”) serves as custodian to the Fund. Both the Distributor and Custodian are affiliates of the Administrator.
The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Investor Class shares and a Shareholder Servicing Plan on behalf of both the Institutional and Investor Classes. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund may pay a fee to the Distributor at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Class shares. No distribution fees are paid by Institutional Class shares. These fees may be used by the Distributor to provide compensation for sales support, distribution activities, or shareholder servicing activities. Under the Shareholder Servicing Plan, each Class is authorized to pay the Adviser an annual shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.15% of each Class’s average daily net assets. The Adviser uses this fee to finance certain activities related to servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the period ended November 30, 2013, the Fund incurred distribution fees of $282 and shareholder servicing fees of $14,416.
NOTE 4 – PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
|
For the period ended November 30, 2013, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sale of securities, excluding short-term investments, were $22,904,872 and $7,391,560, respectively.
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government securities for the period ended November 30, 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
|
To the Shareholders of
McKinley Diversified Income Fund and
The Board of Trustees of
Professionally Managed Portfolios
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, of McKinley Diversified Income Fund, a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the Trust), including the schedule of investments, as of November 30, 2013, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period March 27, 2013 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2013. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of McKinley Diversified Income Fund as of November 30, 2013, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and its financial highlights for the period March 27, 2013 (commencement of operations) to November 30, 2013, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant.
(If more than 50 percent of the accountant’s hours were spent to audit the registrant's financial statements for the period, state how many hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.)
The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed
or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the period. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
