The Fund’s principal investment strategy is to invest primarily in equity securities, including common and preferred stocks, convertible securities and shares of other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest in equity securities, fixed income securities, or other similar investments. Under normal market conditions the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies with market capitalizations greater than $1 billion.
Snow Capital Hedged Equity Fund
The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital and protection of investment principal with lower volatility than the U.S. equity market. The Fund’s principal investment strategy is to invest at least 80% of long net assets in equity securities, including common and preferred stocks, convertible securities and shares of other investment companies and exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) that invest in equity securities. The Adviser will utilize short equity positions in individual equity securities and ETFs to reduce the portfolio’s overall market exposure. The Fund may borrow money from banks or other financial institutions to purchase securities, commonly known as “leveraging,” in an amount not to exceed one-third of its total assets, as permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Fund may invest in equity and/or fixed income securities of companies of any size. In addition to domestic securities, the Fund may also directly or indirectly invest in foreign equity, including investments in emerging markets.

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

1. | ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The Snow Family of Funds (the “Funds”) are a series of 360 Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized on February 25, 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 Trust currently offers eight series of shares. The following series of the Snow Family Funds: (i) Snow Capital Focused Value Fund (“Focused Value Fund”), (ii) Snow Capital Hedged Equity Fund (“Hedged Equity Fund”), (iii) Snow Capital Inflation Advantaged Equities Fund (“Inflation Advantaged Equities Fund”), (iv) Snow Capital Dividend Plus Fund (“Dividend Plus Fund”), and (v) Snow Capital Mid Cap Value Fund (“Mid Cap Value Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the Funds) are each an open end management investment company and separate series of the Trust. All of the Funds, except Focused Value Fund and Hedged Equity Fund, are diversified Funds. As non-diversified Funds, the Focused Value Fund and Hedged Equity Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in a small number of companies. The Funds’ investment adviser is Snow Capital Management, L.P (the “Adviser”). Each Fund offers two classes of shares, Class A and Class I shares. Each class of shares commenced operations on March 28, 2013. 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. Each Fund’s investment objectives are as follows:
Focused Value Fund | Long-term growth of capital |
Hedged Equity Fund | Long-term growth of capital and protection of investment principal with lower volatility than the U.S. equity market |
Inflation Advantaged Equities Fund | Long-term growth of capital and protection of investment principal |
Dividend Plus Fund | Long-term growth of capital and income |
Mid Cap Value Fund | Long-term growth of capital |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.
a) Investment Valuations - All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 2
b) 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 provisions for federal income taxes are 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 recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax expenses as income tax expense in the statements of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. As required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Delaware.
c) 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 any of the Funds during 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.

1. | ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) |
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) Short Sales of Securities – A Fund may make short sales, which are transactions in which a Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. To complete a short sale transaction, a Fund will borrow the security from a broker-dealer, which generally involves the payment of a premium and transaction costs. A Fund then sells the borrowed security to a buyer in the market. A Fund will then cover the short position by buying shares in the market either (i) at its discretion; or (ii) when called by the broker-dealer lender. Until the security is replaced, a Fund is required to pay the broker-dealer lender any dividends or interest that accrues during the period of the loan. In addition, the net proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker to the extent necessary to meet regulatory or other requirements, until the short position is closed out.
A Fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which a Fund replaces the borrowed security. A Fund will realize a gain if the security declines in price between those dates. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of the premium, dividends, interest or expenses a Fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale. When a Fund makes a short sale, a Fund will segregate liquid assets (such as cash, U.S. government securities, or equity securities) on a Fund’s books and/or in a segregated account at a Fund’s custodian in an amount sufficient to cover the current value of the securities to be replaced as well as any dividends, interest and/or transaction costs due to the broker-dealer lender. In determining the amount to be segregated, any securities that have been sold short by a Fund will be marked to market daily. To the extent the market price of the security sold short increases and more assets are required to meet a Fund’s short sale obligations, additional assets will be segregated to ensure adequate coverage of a Fund’s short position obligations.
In addition, a Fund may make short sales “against the box”, i.e., when a Fund sells a security short when a Fund has segregated securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short (or securities convertible or exchangeable into such securities) and will hold such securities while the short sale is outstanding. A Fund will incur transaction costs, including interest, in connection with opening, maintaining, and closing short sales against the box.
h) Exchange Traded Funds – A Fund 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 a Fund, pay their proportionate share of these expenses. Your cost of investing in a Fund will generally be higher than the cost of investing directly in ETFs. By investing in a Fund, you will indirectly bear fees and expenses charged by the underlying ETFs in which a Fund invests in addition to a Fund's direct fees and expenses.
i) Redemption fees - Shareholders that redeem shares within 30 days of purchase will be assessed a redemption fee of 0.50% of the amount redeemed. The redemption fee is paid directly to and retained by the Funds, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs that may be associated with short-term money movement in and out of the Funds. No redemption fees were paid to the Funds during the six month period ended August 31, 2016.

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 Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The Trust 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 Trust'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.
A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Trust's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.
Equity securities (common stock, preferred stock 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.
Money market funds – Money market funds are valued at their net asset value of $1.00 per share and are categorized as Level 1.

Mid Cap Value Fund | | | 311,931 | | | | 38,604 | | | | (32,285 | ) | | | 6,319 | |
The differences between book basis unrealized appreciation and tax-basis unrealized appreciation for the Focused Value Fund and Dividend Plus Fund are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.
The Funds’ tax basis distributable earnings are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. The tax character of distributable earnings (deficit) at February 29, 2016, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, was as follows:

The undistributed ordinary income and capital gains shown above differ from corresponding accumulated net investment income and accumulated net realized gain (loss) figures reported in the statements of assets and liabilities due to differing book/tax treatment of short-term capital gains, and certain temporary book/tax differences due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

8. | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
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 Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.
Effective September 20, 2016, the Hedged Equity Fund, Inflation Advantaged Equities Fund and Mid Cap Value Fund were liquidated and are no longer being offered for sale. Effective October 28, 2016, pursuant to a written consent of the shareholders of the Focused Value Fund and Dividend Plus Fund (the "Acquired Funds"), the Acquired Funds were reorganized into new series of the Trust for Professional Managers, a Delaware statutory trust.
In accordance with GAAP, Management has evaluated the impact of all other subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued, and has determined that there were no other subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
