Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

     

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 active market, price for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, 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.

     

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

     

The following is a summary of inputs used as of December 31, 2012, in valuing the Fund’s investments carried at value:

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments.  These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

       

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 active market, price for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, 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.

       

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

FRANK FUNDS

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2012 (UNAUDITED)


Note 1. Organization

Frank Funds (the “Trust”), is an open-end regulated investment company that was organized as an Ohio business trust on February 12, 2004. The Trust is permitted to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series, each series representing a distinct fund with its own investment objective and policies.  At present, there are two series authorized by the Trust, the Frank Value Fund (the “Value Fund”) and the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund (the “Baldwin Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”).  Frank Capital Partners LLC (“FCP” or “Frank Capital”) is the adviser to the Value Fund and Leigh Baldwin & Co., LLC (“LBC”) is the adviser to the Baldwin Fund.  The Value Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Value Fund’s principal investment strategy is value investing.  The Value Fund commenced operations on July 21, 2004.  The Baldwin Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return.  The Baldwin Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by purchasing equity securities (including common stock, shares of other investment companies and exchange traded funds) and selling covered calls to generate income to the Baldwin Fund.  The Baldwin Fund also utilizes put options in conjunction with the covered calls to limit the risk of ownership of the underlying equity securities.  The Baldwin Fund commenced operations on August 1, 2008.


Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements.  These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Security Valuation- Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price.  Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price.  When market quotations are not readily available, when the adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Trustees.


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 adviser 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 adviser 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 adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees.  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.


In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the adviser is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above.  No single standard for determining fair value exists since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case.  As a general principle, the current fair value of an issue of securities being valued by the adviser would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale.  Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.


Financial Futures Contracts   The Funds may invest in financial futures contracts solely for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Funds intend to purchase, against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in market values or interest rates.  Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit).  Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin” are made or received by the Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the security.  The Funds recognize a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin.  Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Funds may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets.

 

Option Writing - The Baldwin Fund may invest in put and call options.  When a fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written.  Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Baldwin Fund on the expiration date as realized gains.  The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss.  If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining if the fund has a realized gain or loss.  If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the fund.  The Baldwin Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.



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


Redemption Fee - To discourage short-term trades by investors, the Funds will impose a redemption fee of 2.00% of the total redemption amount (calculated at market value) if shares are redeemed within five business days of purchase. There were no redemption fees collected for the Funds for the six months ended December 31, 2012.


Security Transaction Timing - Security transactions are recorded on the dates transactions are entered into (the trade dates).  Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recognized on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  The Funds use the identified cost basis in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.


Income Taxes - The Funds intend to continue to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, the Funds will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any realized capital gains. It is the Funds’ policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.  This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income.


In addition, GAAP requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, fiscal years 2009-2011, as defined by IRS statue of limitations for all major industries, including federal tax authorities and certain tax authorities.  As of and during the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Funds have no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total tax amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.  


Distributions to Shareholders - The Funds intend to distribute to their shareholders substantially all of their net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, at year-end. Distributions will be recorded on ex-dividend date.


Foreign Currency - Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the exchange rate in effect on the respective dates of such transactions.


Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.


Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Subsequent events: Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the issuance date of these financial statements and has noted no such events requiring disclosure.

The selling of written call options may tend to reduce the volatility of the Funds because the premiums received from selling the options will reduce any losses on the underlying securities, but only by the amount of the premiums. However, selling the options may also limit the Funds’ gain on the underlying securities.  Written call options expose the Funds to minimal counterparty risk since they are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearing house guarantees the options against default.


The Funds engage in option transactions involving individual securities and stock indexes. An option involves either: (a) the right or the obligation to buy or sell a specific instrument at a specific price until the expiration date of the option; or (b) the right to receive payments or the obligation to make payments representing the difference between the closing price of a stock index and the exercise price of the option expressed in dollars times a specified multiple until the expiration date of the option. The Funds may purchase and write options. Options are sold (written) on securities and stock indexes. The purchaser of an option on a security pays the seller (the writer) a premium for the right granted but is not obligated to buy or sell the underlying security. The purchaser of an option on a stock index pays the seller a premium for the right granted, and in return the seller of such an option is obligated to make the payment. A writer of an option may terminate the obligation prior to expiration of the option by making an offsetting purchase of an identical option. Options are traded on organized exchanges and in the over-the-counter market. To cover the potential obligations involved in writing options, a Fund will either: (a) own the underlying security, or in the case of an option on a market index, will hold a portfolio of stocks substantially replicating the movement of the index; or (b) the Fund will segregate with the custodian high grade liquid assets sufficient to purchase the underlying security or equal to the market value of the stock index option, marked to market daily.


The purchase of options limits a Fund's potential loss to the amount of the premium paid and can afford the Fund the opportunity to profit from favorable movements in the price of an underlying security to a greater extent than if transactions were effected in the security directly. However, the purchase of an option could result in the Fund losing a greater percentage of its investment than if the transaction were effected directly. When a Fund writes a call option, it will receive a premium, but it will give up the opportunity to profit from a price increase in the underlying security above the exercise price as long as its obligation as a writer continues, and it will retain the risk of loss should the price of the security decline. When a Fund writes a put option, it will assume the risk that the price of the underlying security or instrument will fall below the exercise price, in which case a Fund may be required to purchase the security or instrument at a higher price than the market price of the security or instrument. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Fund can affect a closing transaction on a particular option it has written. Further, the total premium paid for any option may be lost if a Fund does not exercise the option.


The Funds engage in option transactions involving securities and stock indices in order to gain exposure to particular securities or markets, in connection with hedging transactions, or to try to enhance returns. Options require additional skills and techniques beyond normal portfolio management. The Funds’ use of options involves risk that such instruments may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments, especially in abnormal market conditions, or if the Adviser makes an error in judgment, or other causes. The use of options may magnify the increase or decrease in the performance of the Funds, and may also subject the Funds to higher price volatility.

The premiums paid for the options represent the cost of the investment and the options are valued daily at their closing price. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the option is sold or expired. Option holdings within the Funds, which may include put options and call options, are subject to loss of value with the passage of time, and may experience a total loss of value upon expiration. With options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since they are exchange traded.

$     (384,142)

   

Cost of investment securities, including Short Term investments **

$ 11,338,663

$     4,344,801



*These deferrals are considered incurred in the subsequent year.

** The difference between book and tax cost represents disallowed wash sales for tax purposes.

+ The capital loss carryforward will be used to offset any capital gains realized by the Value Fund in future years through the expiration date.  The Value Fund will not make distributions from capital gains while a capital loss carry forward remains.


The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to several tax rules impacting the Fund. In general, some provisions of the Act, not including the changes to capital loss carryforwards, are effective for the Fund’s fiscal year ending June 30, 2011. Although the Act provides several benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of the Fund’s pre-enactment capital loss carryovers may expire without being utilized due to the fact that post-enactment capital losses get utilized before pre-enactment capital loss carryovers.


The Funds paid the following distributions for the year ended June 30, 2012 and the six months ended December 31, 2012:

Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions may result in reclassifications to paid in capital and may affect the per-share allocation between net investment income and realized and unrealized gain/loss.  Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net realized gain/loss on investment transactions may include temporary book and tax differences which reverse in subsequent periods.  Any taxable income or gain remaining at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.


Note 9. Control and Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  As of December 31, 2012, NFS, LLC owned approximately 87.57% of the Baldwin Fund, for the benefit of others, and may be deemed to control the Baldwin Fund.  As of December 31, 2012, NFS, LLC owned approximately 61.36% of the Value Fund Investor Class, for the benefit of others, and may be deemed to control the Value Fund Investor Class.  As of December 31, 2012, NFS, LLC owned approximately 84.24% of the Value Fund Institutional Class, for the benefit of others, and may be deemed to control the Value Fund Institutional Class. As of December 31, 2012, Pershing, LLC owned approximately 60.29% of the Value Fund Class C, for the benefit of others, and may be deemed to control the Value Fund Class C.  NFS, LLC owned approximately 35.32% of the Value Fund Class C, for the benefit of others and may be deemed to control the Value Fund Class C.


Note 10. Distribution and Service Fees

The Baldwin Fund has adopted a plan under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act that allows the Baldwin Fund to pay distribution and service fees annually for the sale and distribution of shares and servicing of shareholders (“12b-1 fees”). The Fund pays distribution fees of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets to Leigh Baldwin, as the Fund’s distributor.  For the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Baldwin Fund accrued $19,079 in 12b-1 fees.


The Value Fund has adopted plans under Rule 12b-1 that allow the Value Fund to pay distribution fees for the sale and distribution of its Investor Class and Class C shares as well as shareholder services. Investor Class and Class C shareholders of the Fund may pay annual 12b-1 expenses of up to 0.25% and 1.00%, respectively. Because these fees are paid out of the Value 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.  For the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Investor Class accrued $11,483 in distribution fees and Class C accrued $10,782 in distribution fees.

 

Note 11. New Accounting Pronouncement

In May 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04 “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). ASU 2011-04 includes common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to disclose additional information for fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. In addition, ASU 2011-04 will require reporting entities to make disclosures about amounts and reasons for all transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Management is currently evaluating the implications of ASU No. 2011-04 and its impact on the financial statements.


In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 (the “Pronouncement”) related to 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 Pronouncement requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.  Management is currently evaluating the impact that this Pronouncement may have on the Fund’s financial statements.

Expense Illustration

December 31, 2012 (Unaudited)

    

Expense Example

    

As a shareholder of the Value Fund or Baldwin Fund, you typically incur two types of costs: (1) transactions costs, including, deferred sales, charges (loads) and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs,  including management fees and distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees.  This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

    

With respect to the Funds the Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period of July 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012.  

    

Actual Expenses

    

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. 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 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 these Funds 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.
