Disclosure of Fund Expenses |
As of April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a fund, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
Operating expenses such as these, are deducted from the Fund’s gross income and directly reduce your final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average net assets; this percentage is known as the Fund’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period”.
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other mutual funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Securities and Exchange Commission requires all mutual funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund in the “Expense Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.
Note: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

1. ORGANIZATION:
The Oak Associates Funds (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company with seven diversified funds: White Oak Select Growth Fund, Pin Oak Equity Fund, Rock Oak Core Growth Fund, River Oak Discovery Fund, Red Oak Technology Select Fund, Black Oak Emerging Technology Fund, and Live Oak Health Sciences Fund (collectively referred to as “Funds” and individually referred to as a “Fund”). The investment objectives of the Funds are to seek long-term capital growth. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The Funds’ prospectus provides a description of each Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.
Use of Estimates – These policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements during the reporting period. Management believes the estimates and security valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the security valuations reflected in the financial statements may differ from the value the Funds ultimately realize upon the sale of the securities.
Security Valuation – Investments in equity securities, which are traded on a national exchange, are stated at the last quoted sales price if readily available for such equity securities on each business day. Investments in equity securities, which are reported on the NASDAQ national market system are valued at the official closing price; other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding sixty days to maturity for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the most recently quoted bid price. Debt obligations with sixty days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Redeemable securities issued by open-end registered investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with Fair Value Procedures established by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. The Funds’ Fair Value Procedures are implemented through a Fair Value Committee (the “Committee”) designated by the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using Fair Value Procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de–listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; a significant event with respect to a security or securities has occurred after the close of the market or exchange on which the security or securities principally trades and before the time the Fund calculates net asset value; or trading of the security is subject to local government–imposed restrictions. When a security is valued in accordance with the Fair Value Procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

As of April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Security Transactions and Investment Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the date the security is purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. If applicable, any foreign capital gains taxes are accrued, net of unrealized gains, and are payable upon the sale of such investments.
Expenses – Expenses that are directly related to one of the Funds are charged to that Fund. Other operating expenses of the Trust are prorated to the Funds on the basis of relative daily net assets.
Repurchase Agreements – The Funds invest in tri-party repurchase agreements. Securities held as collateral for tri-party repurchase agreements are maintained by the broker’s custodian bank in a segregated account until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase agreements and procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees require that the market value of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income are declared and paid to shareholders on an annual basis, as applicable. Net realized capital gains on sales of securities, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. Therefore, the source of the Funds’ distributions may be shown in the accompanying financial statements as either from or in excess of net investment income or net realized gain, or from paid-in capital, depending upon the type of book/tax differences that may exist.
3. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
A three-tier hierarchy has been established to classify fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable and unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are developed based on the best information available.
Semi-Annual Report | April 30, 2014 (Unaudited) | 55 |
Notes to Financial Statements |
As of April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
The three-tier hierarchy is summarized as follows:
1) | Level 1 - Quoted and Unadjusted prices in active markets for identical securities |
2) | Level 2 - Other Significant Observable Inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayments speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
3) | Level 3 - Significant Unobservable Inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |

The Distributor does not receive compensation under the Distribution Agreement for distribution of Fund shares.
6. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND CUSTODIAN AGREEMENTS:
The Trust and the Adviser are parties to an Investment Advisory Agreement, under which the Adviser receives an annual fee equal to 0.74% of the average daily net assets of each Fund, except for the River Oak Discovery Fund for which the Adviser receives 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Adviser has agreed to contractually waive all or a portion of its fees (and to reimburse the Funds’ expenses if necessary) in order to limit operating expenses to not more than 1.25% of the average daily net assets of the White Oak Select Growth, Rock Oak Core Growth and Pin Oak Equity Funds, and 1.35% of the average daily net assets of the River Oak Discovery, Red Oak Technology Select, Black Oak Emerging Technology and Live Oak Health Sciences Funds for one year periods. The Adviser contractually agreed to continue this arrangement through February 28, 2015.
U.S. Bank N.A. acts as custodian (the “Custodian”) for the Funds. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Funds or which securities are to be purchased or sold by the Funds.
7. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:
The cost of security purchases and the proceeds from security sales, other than short–term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2014, were as follows:

8. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES AND TAX BASIS INFORMATION:
Each of the Funds is classified as a separate taxable entity for Federal income tax purposes. Each of the Funds intend to continue to qualify as a separate “regulated investment company” under Sub–chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders that will be sufficient to relieve it from Federal income tax and Federal excise tax. Therefore, no Federal tax provision is required.
To the extent that dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains exceed amounts reported in the financial statements, such amounts are reported separately.

Notes to Financial Statements |
As of April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those amounts determined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. The character of dividends from net investment income or distributions from net realized gains made during the year, and the timing of may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by the Funds. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate equity accounts in the period that the differences arise. These differences are primarily due to the reclass of distributions on net operating losses and expiration of capital loss carryforwards.
The amounts and characteristics of tax basis distributions and composition of distributable earnings/(accumulated losses) are finalized at fiscal year end: accordingly, tax basis balances have not been determined as of April 30, 2014.
The tax character of the distributions paid by the Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 is as follows:
Long-Term Capital | ||||||||||||
Ordinary Income | Gain | Total | ||||||||||
White Oak Select Growth Fund | $ | 731,035 | $ | – | $ | 731,035 | | |||||

Management evaluates the Funds’ tax positions to determine if the taken tax positions meet the minimum recognition threshold by measuring and recognizing tax liabilities in the Financial Statements. The threshold is established by accounting for uncertainties in income tax positions, taken or expected. Recognition of tax benefits of an uncertain tax position is required only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by taxing authorities. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax position taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (current and prior three tax years) and has concluded that as of and for the six months ended April 30, 2014, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years (current and prior three tax years) for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.
9. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND OWNERSHIP:
The Red Oak Technology Select Fund and the Black Oak Emerging Technology Fund invest a substantial portion of their assets in securities in the technology industry. The Live Oak Health Sciences Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in securities in the health care, medicine and life sciences industries. Therefore, each of these Funds may be more affected by economic developments in those industries than a general equity fund would be.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be established; however based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Notes to Financial Statements |
As of April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholders holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.
As of April 30, 2014, the James D. Oelschlager Trust owned 38.48% of the River Oak Discovery Fund.
10. TRUSTEE AND OFFICERS FEES:
As of April 30, 2014, there were seven Trustees, five of whom are not “interested persons” (within the meaning of the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”). Each Independent Trustee receives a retainer of $30,000 per year. The chairperson of the Audit Committee receives an additional retainer of $500 per calendar quarter and the Lead Independent Trustee receives an additional retainer of $1,500 per calendar quarter. In addition, each Independent Trustee is also paid a fee of $2,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees attended or participated in, as the case may be. The Trustees are paid $1,000 per each telephonic board meeting. The Independent Trustees are not paid an additional fee from the Trust for attendance at and/or participation in meetings of the various committees of the Board. The Independent Trustees are also reimbursed for meeting-related expenses. Officers of the Trust and Trustees who are interested persons of the Trust receive no salary or fees from the Trust.
11. INDEMNIFICATIONS:
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that may contain general indemnification clauses, which may permit indemnification to the extent permissible under applicable law. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
12. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:
In June 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-08, Amendments to the Scope, Measurement and Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2013-08”), modifying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 946. The modifications were a result of a joint effort by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to develop a consistent approach for determining whether an entity is an investment company for which fair value of investments is the most relevant measurement. ASU 2013-08 requires a reporting entity to disclose that it is an investment company and is applying the guidance as set forth in ASC 946, to disclose any changes in, and the reasons for, its status as an investment company and to disclose information related to whether it has provided or is contractually required to provide financial support to any of its investees. The effective date of ASU 2013-08 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this requirement and the impact it will have to the financial statement amounts and footnote disclosures, if any.

BOARD CONSIDERATIONS IN APPROVING THE RENEWAL OF THE ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The advisory agreement between the Trust and the Adviser for each Fund of the Trust (the “Advisory Agreement”) was approved for an initial two-year term, and may be continued from year to year thereafter so long as such continuance is approved at least annually, (i) by the vote of the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or “Trustees”) or by a vote of the shareholders of the Fund, and (ii) by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to the Advisory Agreement or “interested persons,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), of any party thereto (the “Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval.
At an in-person meeting held on February 9-10, 2014, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year term, effective February 27, 2014. In determining whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees considered a wide variety of information from the Adviser, including information provided by the Adviser in response to a request from counsel on behalf of the Trustees in accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, to assist in their deliberations (the “Adviser Materials”). Prior to the in-person Board meeting held on February 9-10, 2014, the Independent Trustees held a special meeting on January 27, 2014 via teleconference to discuss the Adviser Materials. Following the January 27, 2014 meeting, the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of counsel, requested the Adviser to provide additional information to the Trustees for the February 9-10, 2014 meeting. In addition, the Independent Trustees discussed and considered the Adviser Materials and the renewal of the Advisory Agreement in an executive session of the Independent Trustees held during the February 9-10, 2014 in-person Board meeting, and received counsel from independent legal counsel.
The Trustees considered the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to each of the Funds by the Adviser. In this regard, the Trustees considered presentations by Trust officers and representatives of the Adviser. The Trustees also reviewed and considered the Adviser Materials. These presentations and the Adviser Materials contained information that assisted the Trustees in assessing the Adviser’s investment advisory services, its investment process, and regulatory/compliance capabilities and record, as well as the Adviser’s investment philosophy, Fund performance records, and trade execution capabilities. The Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser was committed to the success of the Funds and determined that they would continue to review the quality of the resources the Adviser devoted to the management of the investment operations of the Funds and the Adviser’s performance of the associated administrative and compliance duties related to the management of the Funds. Further, the Independent Trustees concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
The Trustees considered the investment performance of each Fund. The Trustees reviewed presentations by the Adviser’s portfolio managers for each Fund as well as a report prepared by the Trust’s administrator that provided performance information as of December 31, 2013 for each of the Funds, including information comparing each Fund’s performance to that of various benchmarks and peer funds as categorized by Lipper Inc. (“Lipper”) and Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar”), both independent sources of investment company data.

Additional Information |
As of April 30, 2014 (Unaudited)
The Trustees also considered performance information in the Adviser Materials for each of the Funds as compared to each Fund’s benchmark, Lipper and Morningstar peer groups and any applicable comparable funds or accounts managed by the Adviser for various periods ending as of the Funds’ fiscal year ended on October 31, 2013. The Trustees evaluated the performance of the Adviser’s separate accounts relative to the White Oak Select Growth Fund (“White Oak Fund”), River Oak Discovery Fund, Pin Oak Equity Fund and Red Oak Technology Select Fund, and in the case of the Live Oak Health Sciences Fund (“Live Oak Fund”), to a similarly managed fund for which the Adviser serves as sub-adviser. The Trustees also reviewed the Adviser’s commentary regarding the performance data and the various factors contributing to each Fund’s short- and long-term performance. The Trustees took note of the various periods where each Fund outperformed, underperformed or performed in line with its respective Lipper and Morningstar peer groups and benchmark. The Trustees noted that the Funds’ relative performance was generally favorable, although some of the Funds significantly lagged their Lipper peer group, Morningstar peer group or benchmark for certain periods. With respect to the White Oak Fund and Live Oak Fund, the Trustees noted that while absolute performance was strong for the year ended December 31, 2013, such Funds’ relative performance lagged their respective Morningstar and Lipper peer group averages. The Trustees considered explanations provided by the Adviser regarding the various factors contributing to the relative underperformance of the White Oak Fund and Live Oak Fund, including, among other things, differences in such Funds’ respective investment strategies and portfolio construction in comparison to the peer funds included in their respective Morningstar and Lipper peer groups. The Board discussed with the Adviser the reasons behind such results for each applicable Fund, including the steps being undertaken by the Adviser to seek to improve such performance. In the case of each Fund with performance that lagged a relevant peer group or benchmark for certain periods (but not necessarily all periods), the Trustees considered other factors that supported the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, including the following: (i) that the Adviser’s investment decisions, such as security selection and sector allocation, contributing to such underperformance were consistent with the Fund’s investment objective and policies; (ii) that shorter-term or longer-term performance, as applicable, was competitive when compared to the performance of relevant peer groups or benchmarks; and (iii) that many of the Funds’ peers are larger in size than the corresponding Fund, and this factor may impact the relative performance of the Funds. Taking note of the Adviser’s discussion of (i) the various factors contributing to each Fund’s performance and (ii) its continuing commitment to each Fund’s current investment strategy, the Independent Trustees concluded that the recent investment performance of each Fund was satisfactory on a relative basis.
The Trustees considered the advisory fees paid to the Adviser, the total expense ratios of each Fund, and the Adviser’s commitment to continue to waive its advisory fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to maintain stated caps on Fund operating expenses. The Trustees reviewed presentations by Trust officers, including information about the reported fees and expenses of each Fund’s peer funds compiled by the Trust’s administrator from data obtained from Lipper. The Trustees also received information from the Adviser regarding compensation arrangements for other accounts managed by the Adviser, and evaluated the explanations provided by the Adviser as to differences in fees charged to the Funds and such accounts. The Trustees noted that the Adviser waived a portion of its advisory fee with respect to each of the Rock Oak Core Growth Fund, River Oak Discovery Fund and Black Oak Emerging Technology Fund in order to maintain the stated cap on Fund operating expenses. The Independent Trustees further considered the Adviser’s profitability derived from its relationship with the Trust on a Fund-by-Fund basis, based on information reported by the Adviser. The Independent Trustees concluded that each Fund’s

advisory fee set forth in the Advisory Agreement was reasonable and did not result in an excessive profit to the Adviser in relation to the nature, extent and quality of services provided, The Independent Trustees also concluded that the overall expense ratio for each Fund is reasonable in comparison to the average expense ratio of funds in each Fund’s respective Lipper category, and in light of various factors, such as Fund size and quality of service.
The Trustees considered the information provided by Oak with respect to potential “fall out” benefits to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds, such as benefits to the Adviser in selling other products and receipt of research paid for with Fund commissions (“soft dollars”) and the benefits to the Adviser in attracting and retaining other clients. The Trustees considered the information they were provided about the Adviser’s portfolio brokerage practices on behalf of the Funds, including its policies with respect to obtaining benefits from use of the Funds’ brokerage commissions to obtain research that also could be used for the Adviser’s other clients, and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Adviser’s portfolio brokerage practices appeared to be reasonably designed to achieve best execution on Fund trades.
The Trustees considered whether there were economies of scale in managing the Funds, and in light of the relatively small size of the Funds and the Adviser’s commitment to waive its advisory fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in order to maintain stated caps on the Funds’ operating expenses, determined that such economies of scale were not present. As such, the Trustees did not consider whether any economies of scale were adequately shared with Fund shareholders.
In voting to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered all factors it deemed relevant, including the Adviser Materials. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance and each member of the Board gave varying weights to each factor according to his or her own judgment. The Board determined that the renewal of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. As a result, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreement for each Fund.
