FRANK FUNDS


SHAREHOLDER LETTER

JUNE 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED)



To our Fellow Shareholders,


In the Frank Funds’ fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, we again witnessed a continued decline in market volatility, an increase in investor complacency, and a significant amount of stock-multiple expansion.  The US stock market did not experience a 10% correction in the fiscal year lulling investors into a false sense of security. Corporations continued with large buyback programs, boosting stock prices, while most companies refrained from full-time hiring or increasing capital expenditures, making it difficult to find growth.


Prolonged low interest rates are a boon to the world economy, though the benefit may purely be optical and in the short-term only. Rather than eliminate deficits and pay down debts, federal governments are viewing low interest rates on their debt as a ratification of status quo policies. Debts continue to increase at both the sovereign and corporate level, and when rates eventually rise, attempting to refinance these debts at higher rates will result in defaults. The retail investor returned to stocks in the past twelve months for the first time in several years. Unfortunately for active managers, this retail investor is purchasing passive index strategies en masse, boosting the index prices in a positive feedback cycle while, simultaneously, institutions continue net-selling, harming companies outside of the indices.


Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund Portfolio Performance


Leigh Baldwin, the advisor to the Baldwin Fund, is pleased to report that during the last fiscal year; the fund has been re-classified by Morningstar as a market neutral fund rather than a long-short, which we feel is a more appropriate designation going forward.  For investors in the fund, our strategy remains essentially the same, to gain positive returns from equities in both appreciation and dividends, while simultaneously protecting them with the use of options.  


The investment environment was essentially the same as in the prior fiscal year, where the fund experienced a 4.51% gain and if not for a maddening, sharp downfall in the energy sector which occurred in September 2014, the fund was on pace for positive gains during the most recent year.  As a result the fund lost 1.95% for the year ending June 2015, but is positive year to date and ahead of its benchmarks.


Going forward, the investment scene is all too familiar.  Like a broken record, we can report that interest rates remain doggedly low and volatility is also near record low levels.  As we have communicated in the past, the Baldwin fund is not directly correlated with stocks or bonds, but is a creature of higher trending interest rates and higher trending volatility, which are both currently at the opposite end of the spectrum.  We cannot predict the future, but we are confident that economic cycles do repeat themselves.


Positively impacting the fund over the past fiscal year was the takeover of Oneida Financial (ONFC) announced during the first quarter of 2015.  Large capital tech stocks like Netflix, Apple, Amazon, and Illumina contributed positively this past year.  



FRANK FUNDS


SHAREHOLDER LETTER (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED)



The biggest negative to the fund was our bias to high dividend paying energy companies like Suncor and Freeport McMoran that even with downside protection in place, were a drag on performance.


As we head into the new investment year, there are, as always, threatening headlines around the world, most notably the recent volatility in China.  We believe the fund is well positioned to not only take advantage of individual situations, but to also be a safe haven if the market experiences a drawdown.  While the fact that we have gone 44 months without a 10% correction in US stocks is not lost on the managers, we are excited for the year to come.


Frank Value Fund Portfolio Performance


The Frank Value Fund (“Value Fund”) Investor Class lost -0.06% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, compared to a gain of 7.43% for its benchmark, the S&P 500 Total Return Index. Since inception (7/21/04) on an annualized basis, the Value Fund has generated a return of 8.17%, compared to a gain of 8.10% for the S&P 500 Total Return Index.


Relative to the benchmark, the Value Fund experienced a challenging fiscal year in the Consumer Discretionary sector, driven primarily by stock allocation decisions. In the Consumer Discretionary sector, Francesca’s Holdings, an operator of a chain of retail boutiques, suffered from margin contraction and negative same store sales comparisons.  Francesca’s Holdings encountered competition and a tough retail environment which resulted in discounting of goods to clear inventory. A management change and strong balance sheet give Francesca’s the ability to bounce back. As such, the Value Fund continued to hold its stake in Francesca’s Holdings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.


The Value Fund experienced a strong year in the Financial sector, driven by stock allocation decisions. In the Financial sector, Xoom Corp, a consumer to consumer money transfer service, posted revenue, operating income, and net income growth. The Value Fund continued to hold its position in Xoom, which returned 40% since being added to the portfolio.


Thank you for your investments.  We look forward to continue working with you.


Sincerely,

Equity Market Neutral strategies employ sophisticated quantitative techniques of analyzing price data to ascertain information about future price movement and relationships between securities, select securities for purchase and sale. These can include both Factor-based and Statistical Arbitrage/Trading strategies. Factor-based investment strategies include strategies in which the investment thesis is predicated on the systematic analysis of common relationships between securities. In many but not all cases, portfolios are constructed to be neutral to one or multiple variables, such as broader equity markets in dollar or beta terms, and leverage is frequently employed to enhance the return profile of the positions identified. Statistical Arbitrage/Trading strategies consist of strategies in which the investment thesis is predicated on exploiting pricing anomalies which may occur as a function of expected mean reversion inherent in security prices; high frequency techniques may be employed and trading strategies may also be employed on the basis on technical analysis or opportunistically to exploit new information the investment manager believes has not been fully, completely or accurately discounted into current security prices.


Hedge Fund Research, Inc. (HFR) utilizes a UCITSIII compliant methodology to construct the HFRX Hedge Fund Indices. The methodology is based on defined and predetermined rules and objective criteria to select and rebalance components to maximize representation of the Hedge Fund Universe. HFRX Indices utilize state-of-the-art quantitative techniques and analysis; multi-level screening, cluster analysis, Monte-Carlo simulations and optimization techniques ensure that each Index is a pure representation of its corresponding investment focus.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Selected data for a share outstanding throughout the period.



The accompanying notes are an integral part of these financial statements.  



FRANK FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015



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.  


The Value Fund currently has 3 classes of shares; Investor Class shares, Class C shares, and Institutional Class shares.  The share classes vary in distribution (12b-1) fee accruals and minimal initial investment required.  


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 their financial statements.  The Funds are an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.


Security Valuation - All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.


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 was $1 in redemption fees collected for the Value Fund, Investor Class shares, during the year ended June 30, 2015.



FRANK FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2015



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, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Funds to analyze all open tax years, fiscal years 2012-2015, as defined by IRS statue of limitations for all major industries, including federal tax authorities and certain tax authorities.  As of and during the year ended June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Funds have no examination in progress and are 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 for the Value Fund and quarterly for the Baldwin Fund.  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.


The Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held.  Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.


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



FRANK FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2015



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.


Option Writing - The Funds 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 Funds 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 Fund(s) as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.


Share class accountingInvestment income, common expenses and realized/unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated to the three classes of shares of the Fund on the basis of the daily net assets of each class.  Fees relating to a specific class are charged directly to that share class.


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.


Reclassifications: In accordance with GAAP, the Value Fund recorded a permanent book/tax difference of $202,575 from net investment loss to accumulated realized gain (loss) on investments. This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and is designed generally to present undistributed income and net realized gains on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders.


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


Note 3. Fair Value of Investments


Processes and Structure

The Funds' Board of Trustees has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the



FRANK FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2015



Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.



FRANK FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2015



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.

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:


?

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the company 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 that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the company's own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and that would be based on the best information available.


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 measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the company's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.


Equity securities (common stock, closed-end and exchange traded funds). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship and that are categorized in level 2. Preferred stock and other equities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are also categorized in level 2.


Short term investments - Short term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value.  These securities will be categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.


Derivative instruments (put and call options) – Options are valued at the last sales prices on the valuation date if the last sales price is between the closing bid and asked prices.  Otherwise, options are valued at the closing bid price.  These securities will be categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy if valued at other then closing price.

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



FRANK FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2015



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.

+ The capital loss carryforward will be used to offset any capital gains realized by the Baldwin Fund in future years through the expiration date.  The Baldwin 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 Funds. In general, some provisions of the Act, not including the changes to capital loss carryforwards, are effective for the Funds’ 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 Funds’ 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.

Note 10. 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 June 30, 2015, NFS, LLC owned approximately 89.28% of the Baldwin Fund, for the benefit of others, and may be deemed to control the Baldwin Fund.  As of June 30, 2015, NFS, LLC owned approximately 67.00% of the Value Fund, for the benefit of others, and may be deemed to control the Value Fund.

Investor Class and Class C shareholders of the Fund may pay annual 12b-1 expenses of up to 0.25% and 1.00%, respectively.  For the year ended June 30, 2015, the Investor Class accrued $57,105 in distribution fees and Class C accrued $35,360 in distribution fees.  At June 30, 2015, the Value Fund owed $25,170 in distribution fees.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM





To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees

   of Frank Value Fund and Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund,

   both a Series of the Frank Funds


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Frank Value Fund, ("Value Fund"), and Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund (“Baldwin Fund”), both a series of the Frank Funds (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments and schedule of call options written, as of June 30, 2015 and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the respective years or periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.  


We conducted our audits 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 Funds were not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits 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 Funds’ 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of June 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide 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 the Funds as of June 30, 2015, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the respective years or periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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 January 1, 2015 through June 30, 2015.


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.

Advisory Renewal Agreement


Frank Fund


The Management Agreement between the Trust and Frank Capital Partners LLC (“Frank Capital”) as to the Frank Value Fund was approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or interested parties to the Management Agreement (collectively, the “Independent Trustees”), at an in-person meeting held on June 20, 2015.  The Trustees reviewed a memorandum describing the Trustees’ duties when considering the Management Agreement renewal.


 As to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Frank Capital, the Board considered Frank Capital’s investment philosophy.  In addition, the Trustees reviewed Frank Capital’s Form ADV Parts 1 and 2, which described the operations and policies of Frank Capital.  The Trustees reviewed a report prepared by Frank Capital for the Trustees with information relevant to their deliberations (the “Report”).  The Report included information regarding, among other things, the personnel of Frank Capital and Frank Capital’s compliance activities.  Frank Capital certified to the Board that it had complied with the Trust’s Code of Ethics.  Based on this information and their discussions with the President of Frank Funds, the Trustees concluded that Frank Capital has provided high quality advisory services to the Frank Value Fund, and that the nature and extent of services provided by Frank Capital were reasonable and consistent with the Board’s expectations.



FRANK FUNDS


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2015 (UNAUDITED)



As to the Frank Value Fund’s performance, the Trustees reviewed information in the Report regarding the Frank Value Fund’s returns since inception and for the year ended March 31, 2015.  The Frank Value Fund’s performance was compared to the S&P 500 Total Return Index as well as the Midcap Blend peer group. The Board noted that the Frank Value Fund’s performance exceeded the performance of the S&P 500 Total Return Index since inception.  After discussion with the President of the Trust, the Board concluded that using the S&P 500 Total Return and Midcap Blend Category are appropriate benchmarks for comparison purposes.


The Trustees reviewed information in the Report comparing the expense ratio of the Frank Value Fund to those of the peer group.  The Board noted that the Frank Value Fund's Investor Class net expense ratio is 1.49%, which is more than the 1.07% Morningstar peer group average.  They further noted that the management fees for the Frank Value Fund are 0.99% while the peer group average is 0.97%.  The Board agreed that the total expense ratio compared favorably to the peer group and the management fee was fair and reasonable considering the assets in the Frank Value Fund.    


As to profits realized by Frank Capital, the Board reviewed information regarding Frank Capital’s income and expense statement for calendar 2014. The Board concluded that Frank Capital has adequate resources to fulfill its responsibilities under the Agreement.  The Board noted that it believes Frank Capital Partners LLC is doing a great job managing costs for the Frank Value Fund. They observed that Frank Capital Partners LLC is keeping costs low by performing much of the work that would normally be performed by third parties, such as preparation of Board minutes and exhibits. The Board then discussed additional benefits received by Frank Capital from the Frank Value Fund, and agreed there were none. They concluded that Frank Capital was not excessively profitable. A discussion of economies of scale involved future asset level of the Frank Value Fund.  


As a result of their deliberations, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, determined that the overall arrangement provided under the terms of the Management Agreement was a reasonable business arrangement, and that the renewal of the Management Agreement was in the best interests of the Trust and the Frank Value Fund’s shareholders.  Accordingly, they approved the continuation of the Management Agreement for an additional year.


Baldwin Fund


The Management Agreement between the Trust and Leigh Baldwin & Co., LLC (“Leigh Baldwin”) as to the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund was approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Trustees”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or interested parties to the Management Agreement (collectively, the “Independent Trustees”), at an in-person meeting held on June 20, 2015.

As to the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund’s performance, the Trustees reviewed information in the Report regarding the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund’s returns since inception and for the year ended March 31, 2015.  The Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund’s performance was compared to the HFRX Market Neutral Index as well as the Market Neutral peer group. The Board noted that the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund’s performance slightly trailed the performance of the HFRX Market Neutral Index since inception. After discussion with the President of the Trust, the Board concluded that using the HFRX Market Neutral Index and Market Neutral Category are appropriate benchmarks for comparison purposes.


The Trustees reviewed information in the Report comparing the expense ratio of the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund to those of the peer group.  The Board noted that the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund's net expense ratio is 1.75%, which is more than the 1.55% Morningstar peer group average.  They further noted that the management fees for the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund are 0.45% while the peer group average is 1.09%.  The Board agreed that the total expense ratio compared favorably to the peer group and the management fee was fair and reasonable considering the assets in the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund.

They concluded that Leigh Baldwin was not excessively profitable, and that a discussion of economies of scale was not relevant at this time due to the small size of the Leigh Baldwin Total Return Fund.
