Stringer Growth Fund
The investment objective of the Stringer Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is long-term growth of capital. To meet its investment objective, the Fund will invest primarily in unaffiliated exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”). The underlying ETFs will invest in various securities including, but not limited to, domestic equity securities (including large, mid and small-cap stocks), stocks offered in international markets, including emerging markets, domestic fixed income securities, foreign debt securities, and cash or cash equivalents. The Fund may also invest in alternative sector ETFs, such as commodity and real estate ETFs, as well as exchange-traded notes (“ETNs”). ETNs are unsecured debt obligations of investment banks which are traded on exchanges and the returns of which are linked to the performance of market indices. The Fund may be appropriate for investors with long-term time horizons who are not sensitive to short-term losses and want to participate in the long-term growth of the financial markets. The Fund seeks to avoid or minimize the effects of inflation on the portfolio. The Fund may also invest directly in domestic equity securities (including large, small and mid-cap stocks), stocks offered in international markets, including emerging markets, and unaffiliated open-end investment companies. At times, the Fund may also invest directly in fixed-income securities. These fixed-income securities, either held directly or through ETFs, may be domestic or foreign, corporate or sovereign, and of any quality or duration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, under normal market conditions, the Fund will generally allocate 100% of its investments to equity securities.

The percentages in the above graph are based on the portfolio holdings of the Fund as of August 31, 2016 and are subject to change.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTSAugust 31, 2016 (Unaudited)
1. | ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The Stringer Funds (the “Funds”) are series of 360 Funds (the “Trust”). 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 Funds are non-diversified Funds. As non-diversified Funds, they may invest a significant portion of their assets in a small number of companies. The Stringer Growth Fund’s (the “Growth Fund”) investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Stringer Moderate Growth Fund’s (the “Moderate Growth Fund”) investment objective is capital appreciation while also maintaining principal stability. The Funds’ investment adviser is Stringer Asset Management, LLC (the “Adviser”). The Funds offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares. Each class of shares for the Growth Fund commenced operations on March 27, 2013. Each class of shares for the Moderate Growth Fund commenced operations on March 31, 2015. Each class differs as to sales and redemption charges and ongoing fees. Income and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative share balances.
The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.
a) Security Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in note 2.
b) Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are registered investment companies and incur fees and expenses such as operating expenses, licensing fees, registration fees, trustees fees, and marketing expenses, and ETF shareholders, such as the Funds, pay their proportionate share of these expenses. Your cost of investing in the Funds will generally be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs. By investing in the Funds, you will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying ETFs in which the Funds invest in addition to the Funds’ direct fees and expenses.
c) Federal Income Taxes – The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.
As of and during the six month period ended August 31, 2016, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax expenses. The Funds recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax liability as income tax expense in the statements of operations. During the six month period ended August 31, 2016, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and Delaware State. As required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), ASC 740, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on Federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in these financial statements.
d) Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid-in capital or net realized gains. There were no reclassifications necessary for the six month period ended August 31, 2016.
e) Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
f) Other – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an 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.
g) Non-Diversified Fund – The Funds are non-diversified Funds. Non-diversified Funds may or may not have a diversified portfolio of investments at any given time, and may have large amounts of assets invested in a very small number of companies, industries or securities. Such lack of diversification substantially increases market risks and the risk of loss associated with an investment in the Funds, because the value of each security will have a greater impact on the Funds’ performance and the value of each shareholder’s investment. When the value of a security in a non-diversified fund falls, it may have a greater impact on the Funds than it would have in a diversified fund.

(h) Contingent Deferred Sales Charges – For initial purchases of Class A shares of a Fund of $1 million or more, a broker-dealer's commission (equal to 1.00% of such purchases over $1 million) may be paid by the Adviser to participating unaffiliated broker-dealers through whom such purchases are effected. A contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) is imposed upon certain redemptions of Class A shares purchased at net asset value in amounts totaling $1 million if the dealer’s commission was paid by the Adviser and the shares are redeemed within one year from the date of purchase. The CDSC will be paid to the Adviser and will be equal to 0.50% of the lesser of (1) the net asset value at the time of purchase of the Class A shares being redeemed; or (2) the net asset value of such shares at the time of redemption. There were no CDSC Fees paid from Class A redemptions to the Adviser during the six month period ended August 31, 2016.
For initial purchases of Class C shares of a Fund, a broker-dealer's commission (equal to 1.00% of such purchases) may be paid by the Adviser to participating unaffiliated broker-dealers through whom such purchases are effected. A CDSC of 1.00% may be imposed on certain redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of their purchase. The CDSC will be paid to the Adviser and will be equal to 1.00% of the lesser of (1) the net asset value at the time of purchase of the Class C shares being redeemed; or (2) the net asset value of such shares at the time of redemption. During the six month period ended August 31, 2016, CDSC Fees paid from Class C redemptions of $5,221 and $3,380 were paid to the Adviser by the Growth Fund and Moderate Growth Fund, respectively.
Processes and Structure
The Funds’ Board of Trustees has adopted guidelines for valuing securities and other derivative instruments including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated authority to the Adviser to apply those guidelines in determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The company utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its 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.

2. | SECURITIES VALUATIONS (continued) |
Equity securities (common stock and ETFs) – 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.
Money market funds – Money market funds are valued at their net asset value of $1.00 per share and are categorized as Level 1.
The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Funds’ assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of August 31, 2016.

Therefore, a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value is not applicable. |
| (2) | All ETFs held in the Funds are Level 1 securities. For a detailed break-out of ETFs by investment type, please refer to the Schedules of Investments. |
There were no transfers into and out of any Level during the six month period ended August 31, 2016. It is each Fund’s policy to recognize transfers between Levels at the end of the reporting period.

In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

Information About Your Funds’ Expenses - (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as the sales charge (load) imposed on certain subscriptions and the contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) imposed on certain short-term redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The example below 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.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period as indicated below.
Actual Expenses – The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses (relating to the example $1,000 investment made at the beginning of the period). You may use the information in this section, 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 section 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 section of the table provides information about the 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 is not the Funds’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), CDSC fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. For more information on transactional costs, please refer to the Funds’ prospectuses.
