MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Annual Report
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The IMS Capital Value Fund returned +8.07% while its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index returned +1.23% over the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. For the twelve-month period, ended June 30, 2015, the Fund returned +9.76% compared to the benchmark return of +7.42%. Stocks in general produced fairly flat results for the first half of 2015, however the economy continues to slowly expand. If the trend continues, the economic expansion will soon reach seven years. The rally in stocks began in March of 2009 and is now the third longest in U.S. history, behind only the 1987 (13 year) and 1949 (7 year) rallies.
Our focus on finding undervalued companies that are well-positioned to benefit from one or more of our investment themes, worked well over both time periods. We seek to identify undervalued companies that are poised to benefit from various trends in society. The Fund’s 49 holdings were diversified across all of the market’s major sectors with the exception of utilities. Three of our larger sector weightings in the Fund include consumer discretionary 23.1%, healthcare 18.8% and financials 13.2%. The three lowest sector weightings were telecommunications 2.6%, industrials 3.5% and utilities 0%. We deliberately avoided the utility sector as most of the companies appeared overvalued after last year’s run up, and unattractive, given the fact that interest rates are poised to rise at some point in the near future. The Fed has kept its benchmark federal funds rate pinned near zero since December 2008 to bolster the U.S. economy. A number of Fed policy makers have signaled the first rate increase may come as early as the upcoming September or December meeting.
Over half of the Fund is invested in large cap companies, while 24% is invested in mid cap companies with just 8% in small cap companies. Our sector bets tended to pay off as the highest weighted sectors had some of the best returns and the lowest weighted sectors had some of the lowest returns during the year.
During the past year, major contributors to the Fund were mainly healthcare stocks: InVivo Therapeutics was up +288.22% for the year. This biomaterials company has an innovative, and so far, promising treatment for paralyzing spinal cord injuries. The company is conducting a five-patient pilot study which has shown positive results in the first three patients who have had the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold surgically implanted to aid the body in healing the injury. Following successful completion of the pilot study, InVivo expects to obtain FDA approval to commence commercialization of its product. The second best performer was Opko Health, +81.90%. This biopharmaceutical and diagnostic company has many potential successes under its belt, including its blood tests for advanced prostate cancer. If the company can convince doctors to prescribe it and insurers to pay for it, it could end up being a standard test that will be used prior to subjecting patients to a biopsy. In 2009, the company acquired the rights from Schering-Plough to the nausea and vomiting drug which has a pending FDA decision in September and it has a new treatment for vitamin D deficiency which could be available to patients as early as next year. The third best performer was Edwards Lifesciences Corp. up +65.92%. The company spun off from Baxter in 2000 and is engaged in designing, manufacturing and marketing a range of medical devices and equipment for advanced stages of heart disease. The company grew EPS by +11.8% last year and is expected to grow +24.5% this year. Long term growth is an impressive +15.4%. It has achieved this by maintaining dominance in the high margin surgical heart valves and pioneered new minimally invasive heart valve therapy.

Companies that detracted from the Fund’s performance over the last year included Sprint, the third largest wireless carrier in the U.S., which was down -46.54% due to weak financial performance. The firm’s wireless spectrum position is the strongest in the industry and Softbank’s backing should enable Sprint to greatly enhance its competitive position and create value for shareholders over time. The second worst performer was Houston-based oil exploration and production company, Apache Corporation, down -41.73% due to declining oil prices. The company has been restructuring and unloading several of its international assets to reduce debt and focus on shale drilling in the U.S. The company has reduced its net debt load from $12 billion to $6.7 billion. As a result, several research firms have upgraded their ratings on the company. Finally, Texas-based pawn shop operator EZCorp, Inc. dropped -35.67% due to an earnings restatement at one of its divisions and the announcement that it is exiting the payday, auto title, and installment lending business to focus on its more profitable pawn shop business. The strategy is expected to produce annual expense savings of around $34 million after three years. The company expects to start seeing the savings begin in the fourth quarter of 2015.
The U.S. stock market is in the seventh year of one of the most sustained expansions in U.S. history. We still feel, however, that the expansion can continue for several more years. Regardless, it is our belief that our focus on finding the right undervalued companies should continue to benefit our shareholders. Going forward, we continue to focus on undervalued stocks that we believe have the potential to grow earnings, are down in price, are seasoned and are poised to benefit from one or more of our investment themes. For instance, we have been investing in companies that should benefit from baby boomer spending habits, an eventual rise in interest rates, an eventual rise in oil prices, the pending housing shortage and the trend towards healthy eating. We thank you for continuing to invest alongside us in the IMS Capital Value Fund as we focus on building wealth wisely.
Sincerely,
Carl W. Marker

IMS STRATEGIC INCOME FUND
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Annual Report
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The U.S. economy continues to struggle with slow growth and higher than average unemployment. The Fed has continued to keep short-term interest rates exceptionally low, which has helped sustain the current economic expansion that is now in its 7th year. The exact date of a Federal Reserve tightening is less important than the fact that more Americans are working, and therefore spending is improving. Housing and auto sales are showing signs of strength, as consumers are benefitting from lower borrowing costs. We believe that when rates do begin to rise, the rate of change will be slower than most people fear. The Financial sector stands to benefit most from rising rates. Examples include banks, insurance companies, payroll processors and firms that provide money market funds. Lower prices at the pump have helped the consumer; however, the sudden and historically large drop in energy prices has had a negative impact on the IMS Strategic Income Fund.
In this environment, the IMS Strategic Income Fund returned -4.37% over the first six months of 2015, and -16.13% over the twelve-month period ending June 30, 2015. The Barclay’s Aggregate Bond Index, the Fund’s benchmark, returned -0.10% and 1.86% over the same periods, respectively. The index is comprised of 100% domestic, investment grade bonds while the Fund holds just 26% in these securities. In many ways, the index looks very different from the Fund. By contrast, the index has little or no exposure to stocks, high yield bonds or international bonds. For example, as of June 30, 2015, the Fund had 37% in stocks, 29% in high yield bonds and 6% in international high yield bonds. Looking back over the past year, our biggest mistake was being incorrect about the direction of energy and commodity prices, as both dropped sharply. The v-shaped bottom, production cuts and rebound in price we expected to occur has not yet materialized. Our energy-related holdings had a material negative impact on the Fund’s performance during the period. While we feel the current low prices are unsustainable, it is impossible to know how long they will persist.
The IMS Strategic Income Fund is as the name suggests, “strategic” in that we take positions in areas where we see the most opportunity. Right now we see opportunity in several areas, however, we have the greatest conviction in the opportunity for higher interest rates and higher energy prices. We are confident that eventually higher levels will materialize in both areas and we have invested accordingly. What we don’t know is how long it may take for these higher levels to materialize. Longer-term interest rates have started to climb in anticipation of the Federal Reserve starting to raise short-term rates. However, energy and commodity prices have recently hit fresh lows, so as usual, the timing of any rebound is difficult to predict.
We have very little exposure to emerging markets, traditional investment grade bonds or treasuries as we believe there is significant risk in the emerging markets and that the 30-year bull market in bonds is ending which means that traditional investment grade bonds and treasuries should have dim prospects going forward. Providing a regular monthly dividend remains a top priority. The IMS Strategic Income Fund has paid a dividend every month, without interruption for over 12 years now. We continue to look for the best combination of current income, moderate volatility, and appreciation potential with a willingness to take strategic positions where we see opportunity. We thank you for investing alongside us in the IMS Strategic Income Fund as we focus on building wealth wisely.

Carl W. Marker

IMS DIVIDEND GROWTH FUND
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Annual Report
June 30, 2015
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
The U.S. economy continued its modest improvement adding speculation that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will raise interest rates sooner rather than later. The U.S. and global economy continues to cope with debt issues in Greece, the severe correction in Chinese equities, volatile energy markets and the impact of a strong U.S. Dollar. The U.S. stock market and economy continue to outperform most other mature economies on a variety of metrics. For example, during the one-year period ending June 30, 2015, the S&P 500 index, the Fund’s benchmark, which is made up primarily of large-cap U.S. stocks, rose +7.42%, while the MSCI EAFE International index declined -4.6%.
Over the one-year period ended June 30, 2015, the IMS Dividend Growth Fund returned +5.48%. The Fund’s return was lower than the index for the one-year period for several reasons. First, dividend-paying stocks were out of favor. While the S&P 500 returned +7.42% for the trailing twelve months ending June 30, 2015, the S&P Dividend Aristocrat Index returned +4.43% and the Dow Jones US Select Dividend Index returned an even lower +0.79%. Both S&P Dividend Aristocrat and the Dow Jones US Select Dividend Index are popular benchmarks for U.S. dividend paying stocks. Second, our energy and energy-related service stocks materially underperformed the broader markets. For the period, SM Energy was down -20%, Chevron (CVX) was down -16% and oil and gas driller Helmerich & Payne was down -14.4%. Lastly, the Fund’s positive performance was masked by our diversification in terms of market cap and international exposure. Over 30% of the Fund’s assets are mid and small-cap stocks and the Fund has about 15% in international stocks. The primary purpose of the Fund is capital appreciation and dividend income from companies that provide growing dividends. The Fund is truly all-cap and global in nature, which historically has provided for strong long-term performance.
Our top three sector weightings as of June 30, 2015 were financials, industrials and consumer discretionary at 20%, 13.9% and 13.3%, respectively. Both financial and industrials are cyclical and tend to perform well as the US and global economy improves and conversely, if the economy slows, these sectors historically underperform. The consumer discretionary sector tends to be less sensitive to changes in the overall economy.
The Fund’s best performers over the past year included Apple Incorporated, the technology device maker, which returned +93%. Apple continues to deliver strong new products and reward shareholders with both dividend increases and share repurchases. Sturm, Ruger & Company, the firearms manufacturer, returned +58%. This firearms manufacturer has made an impressive turnaround after falling from $80 in January 2014 to a low of around $30 in December of 2014. The Fund started purchasing shares in late December around $36 per share. Altria Group, a domestic tobacco company, returned +31.5% due to improved cost management and strong brand loyalty.
The Fund’s worst performers included Veritiv Corporation, which has been public only 13 months. The company, which handles business-to-business printing, packaging and logistics, has seen its long-term earnings power masked by restructuring costs and weak revenue in the first quarter. During our holding period, we showed a loss of -25.9%. SM Energy Company is an independent natural gas company. The volatility in the energy markets and natural gas supply glut pushed shares down -20.3% since we started investing. Copa Holding SA, is an airline passenger and cargo service company in Latin America. Copa has industry leading on-time and flight completion stats, but passenger and freight traffic has declined resulting in a -17.7% decline since our purchase.
8
Historically over full market cycles dividends have contributed a meaningful portion of the stock market’s total returns. While dividend-paying stocks have categorically been out of favor over the last twelve months, we continue to think dividend payers will serve investors well.
We believe that the companies in the Fund have unique operating franchises, strong financial positioning and opportunities for long-term future growth. We believe these characteristics increase the likelihood that the companies in our Fund will continue to pay and increase dividends over time. We thank you for investing alongside us in the IMS Dividend Growth Fund as we continue to focus on building wealth wisely.

The investment objective of the IMS Dividend Growth Fund is long-term growth from capital appreciation and dividends. The Dividend Growth Fund invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of dividend–paying common stocks. The Dividend Growth Fund’s advisor, IMS Capital Management, Inc., employs a combination of fundamental, technical and macro market research to identify companies that the Adviser believes have the ability to maintain or increase their dividend payments, because of their significant cash flow production.
Availability of Portfolio Schedules – (Unaudited)
The Funds file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Funds’ Forms N-Q are available at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Funds’ Forms N-Q may be reviewed and copied at the Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

Summary of Funds’ Expenses – (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as short-term redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (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 = 8.60), 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 Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant only to highlight your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as short-term redemption fees. Therefore, the second line is only useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactions costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

IMS FAMILY OF FUNDS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2015
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
The IMS Family of Funds (the “Funds”), comprising the IMS Capital Value Fund (the “Value Fund”), IMS Strategic Income Fund (the “Income Fund”) and IMS Dividend Growth Fund (the “Dividend Growth Fund”), were each organized as a diversified series of 360 Funds (the “Trust”) on June 20, 2014. The Trust was organized on February 24, 2005 as a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). The investment objective of the Value Fund is to provide long-term growth from capital appreciation and secondarily, income from dividends. The investment objective of the Income Fund is to provide current income and secondarily, capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Dividend Growth Fund is to provide long-term growth from capital appreciation and dividends. The investment advisor of each Fund is IMS Capital Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”).
Effective as of the close of business on June 20, 2014, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Reorganization"), the 360 Fund's Value Fund, Income Fund and Dividend Growth Fund (the "New Funds") received all the assets and liabilities of the Unified Series Trust's (the "Former Trust") IMS Capital Value Fund (the "Predecessor Value Fund "), IMS Strategic Income Fund (the Predecessor Income Fund") and IMS Dividend Growth Fund (the "Predecessor Dividend Growth Fund") (together, the "Predecessor Funds"), respectively. The shareholders of the Predecessor Funds received shares of the New Funds with aggregate net asset values equal to the aggregate net asset values of their shares in the Predecessor Funds immediately prior to the Reorganization. The Predecessor Funds' investment objectives, policies and limitations were substantially identical to those of the New Funds, which had no operations prior to the Reorganization. For financial reporting purposes, the Predecessor Funds' operating history prior to the Reorganization is reflected in the financial statements and financial highlights. The Reorganization was treated as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes and, accordingly, the basis of the assets of the New Funds reflected the historical basis of the assets of the Predecessor Funds as of the date of the Reorganization. The Reorganization is also considered tax-free based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.
Securities Valuations – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 3.
Foreign Currency – Investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at 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 on the respective dates of such transactions. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from 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 Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. 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. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.

IMS FAMILY OF FUNDS
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (continued)
June 30, 2015
NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – continued
Reverse Convertible Bonds – The Funds may invest in reverse convertible notes, which are short-term notes (i.e., with maturities of one year or less) that are linked to individual equity securities. These notes make regular interest payments by the issuer, but also have a put option attached, giving the issuer the right to exercise that option only if the price of the related security drops below a stated price.
Structured notes, such as reverse convertible notes, are subject to a number of fixed income risks including general market risk, interest rate risk, as well as the risk that the issuer on the note may fail to make interest and/ or principal payments when due, or may default on its obligations entirely. In addition, as a result of imbedded derivative features in these securities, structured notes generally are subject to more risk than investing in a simple note or bond issued by the same issuer.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds make no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Funds intend to qualify each year as regulated investment companies (“RICs”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of their taxable income. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense.
As of and during the year ended June 30, 2015, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the year ended June 30, 2015, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years prior to 2012.
Expenses – Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual funds based on each fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).
Security Transactions and Related Income – Each Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. The first in, first out method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income from real estate investment trusts (REITS) and distributions from limited partnerships are recognized on the ex-date and included in dividend income. The calendar year-end classification of distributions received from REITS during the fiscal year are reported subsequent to year end; accordingly, the Funds estimate the character of REIT distributions based on the most recent information available. Income or loss from limited partnerships is reclassified in the components of net assets upon receipt of K-1’s. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with each Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. For bonds that miss a scheduled interest payment, after the grace period, all interest accrued on the bond is written off and no additional interest will be accrued. However, for illiquid bonds or those bonds fair valued by the Advisor, if the Advisor’s research indicates a high recovery rate in restructuring, and the Fund expects to hold the bond until the issue is restructured, past due interest may not be written off in its entirety. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.

Purchasing Options – Each Fund may purchase and sell put and call options involving individual securities and market 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 market index and the exercise price of the option expressed in dollars times a specified multiple until the expiration date of the option. Options are sold (written) on securities and market 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 market 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. Options are traded on organized exchanges and in the over-the-counter market.
The purchase of options involves certain risks. The purchase of options typically will limit 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 a Fund losing a greater percentage of its investment than if the transaction were effected directly.
Writing Options – Each Fund may write (sell) covered call options on common stocks in the Fund’s portfolio. A covered call option on a security is an agreement to sell a particular portfolio security if the option is exercised at a specified price, or before a set date. A Fund profits from the sale of the option, but gives up the opportunity to profit from any increase in the price of the stock above the option price, and may incur a loss if the stock price falls. Risks associated with writing covered call options include the possible inability to effect closing transactions at favorable prices and an appreciation limit on the securities set aside for settlement. When a Fund writes a covered 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. The Funds will only engage in exchange-traded options transactions.
The investment objective of the Income Fund and Dividend Growth Fund as it relates to derivative investments is to use such investments in an effort to manage risk and/or generate returns.
Each Fund may write (sell) put options, including “out of the money” put options. When a Fund writes (sells) put options, the Fund receives the option premium, but will lose money if a decrease in the value of the security or index causes the Fund’s costs to cover its obligations upon exercise to increase to a level that is higher than the option premium the Fund received. Each Fund will sell a put option only if the obligation taken on by the sale of the put is “covered,” either 1) by maintaining a cash reserve or an investment in a money market fund equal to the amount necessary to purchase the underlying security if exercised, 2) by owning another put option with the same or a later expiration date and the same or a higher strike price, or 3) by owning another put option with the same or a later expiration date and a lower strike price in addition to cash equal to the difference between the strike price of the sold put and the strike price of the purchased put.

Dividends and Distributions – The Income Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to its shareholders on a monthly basis. The Value Fund and Dividend Growth Fund intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income as dividends to their shareholders on at least an annual basis. Each Fund intends to distribute its net realized long-term capital gains and its net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year. Dividends to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Funds. For the year ended June 30, 2015 the Funds made the following reclassifications to increase (decrease) the components of net assets.
Fund | Paid in Capital | Accumulated Undistributed Net Investment Income (Loss) | Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Investments | |||||||||
Value Fund | $ | (102,396 | ) | $ | 102,396 | $ | - | |||||

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of 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 (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability 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 developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |

June 30, 2015
NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – continued
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available) |
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.
Equity securities, including common stock, real estate investment trusts, and preferred securities, are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by a Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending net asset value (NAV) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
Fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, municipal bonds, reverse convertible bonds, and foreign bonds denominated in U.S. dollars, when valued using market quotations in an active market, will be categorized as Level 1 securities. However, they may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair 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. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 2 securities. If the Advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when certain restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board and the Fair Valuation Committee. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities. See the chart on page 37 for more information on the inputs used by the Advisor in determining fair value of such level 3 securities. The Advisor has used inputs such as evaluated broker quotes in inactive markets, actual trade prices in inactive markets, present value of expected future cash flows, terms of expected bond restructurings, and yields on similar securities in determining the fair value of such Level 3 securities.
Short-term investments in fixed income securities (those with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired) are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS – continued
In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Advisor 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 exists for determining fair value, because 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 Advisor would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accordance 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. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Advisor’s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before a Fund’s NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or the Advisor is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations. Good faith pricing may also be used in instances when the bonds the Funds invest in default or otherwise cease to have market quotations readily available.
The Trustees of the 360 Funds adopted the M3Sixty Consolidated Valuation Procedures on June 24, 2014, which established a Valuation Committee to work with the Advisor and report to the Board on securities being fair valued or manually priced. The Lead Chairman and Trustee for the 360 Funds, along with the Fund Principal Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer are members of the Valuation Committee which meets at least monthly or, as required, to review the interim actions and coordination with the Advisor in pricing fair valued securities, and consideration of any unresolved valuation issue or a request to change the methodology for manually pricing a security. In turn, the Lead Chairman provides updates to the Board at the regularly scheduled board meetings as well as interim updates to the board members on substantive changes in a daily valuation or methodology issue.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Value Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2015:

The Value Fund did not hold any derivative instruments during the reporting period. During the year ended June 30, 2015, there were no transfers between levels. The Value Fund recognizes transfers between fair value hierarchy levels at the end of the reporting period.

(1) | A significant decrease in the input in isolation would result in a significantly lower fair valuation measurement. |
(2) | A significant increase in this input in isolation would result in a significantly higher fair value measurement. |
The valuation technique for Performance Drilling Co. LLC, 6.000%, 09/30/2022 was changed from a discounted cash flow technique to a market based technique. This change was made as a result of a restructuring of the security and available market quotes. The valuation technique for Thornton Drilling Co., 5.000%, 06/15/2018 was changed from a market based technique to an asset based technique. This change was made pursuant to the fair valuation committee's determination to use an asset based technique due to insufficient market information being available to determine a fair value.

For disclosure purposes, these deferrals are included in “accumulated capital and other losses” above.
As of June 30, 2015, accumulated capital and other losses noted above consist of:

NOTE 11. RESTRICTED SECURITIES
Restricted securities are securities that may only be resold upon registration under federal securities laws or in transactions exempt from such registration. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer’s expense, either upon demand by a fund or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Many restricted securities may be resold in the secondary market in transactions exempt from registration. Such restricted securities may be determined to be liquid. The Funds will not incur any registration costs upon such resale. The Income Fund’s restricted securities are valued at the price provided by pricing services or dealers in the secondary market or, if no market prices are available, at the fair value price as determined by the Fund’s Advisor or pursuant to the Fund’s fair value policy, subject to oversight by the Board of Trustees. The Income Fund has acquired securities, the sale of which is restricted under Rule 144A or Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. It is possible that the fair value price may differ significantly from the amount that may ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.
At June 30, 2015, the aggregate value of such securities amounted to $2,432,131 and the value amounts to 11.66% of the net assets of the Income Fund.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of IMS Family of Funds and
Board of Trustees of 360 Funds
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of IMS Family of Funds comprising IMS Capital Value Fund, IMS Strategic Income Fund, and IMS Dividend Growth Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of the 360 Funds, as of June 30, 2015, and the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 each of the Funds constituting IMS Family of Funds as of June 30, 2015, the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
