Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
The Blue Fund Group (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust under the laws of the State of Massachusetts on May 11, 2006. The Trust is a diversified, open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value. The Trust currently offers shares of two series, each with its own investment strategy and risk/reward profile: The Blue Large Cap Fund (“Large Cap”) and The Blue Small Cap Fund (“Small Cap”), (individually a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”).
Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with vendors and others that provide general indemnification. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of income and expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statement. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities Valuation: The value of each equity security is based either on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the closing bid prices on such exchanges, or at the quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market. Equity securities traded on the NASDAQ stock market are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price.
Securities or other assets for which market quotation are not readily available (e.g., an approved pricing service does not provide a price, a furnished price is an error, certain stale prices, or an event occurs that materially affects the furnished price) are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Investment Advisor under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
Security Transactions and Related Income: Changes in holdings of portfolio securities shall be reflected no later than the first calculation on the first business day following the trade date. However, for financial reporting purposed, portfolio securities transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of a premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to the Fund, while expenses attributable to more than one series of the Trust are allocated among the respective series based on relative net assets or another appropriate basis.
Organization and Offering Expenses: All costs incurred by the Trust in connection with the organization of the Funds, principally professional fees and printing, were paid on behalf of the Trust by Blue Investment Management, LLC and will not be borne by the Funds. Offering expenses totaled $37,633 and $37,633 for the Large Cap and Small Cap, respectively.
Costs incurred in connection with the offering and initial registration of the Trust are amortized on a straight-line basis over the first twelve months after the commencement of operations.
Dividends to Shareholders: Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually by the Funds. Dividends from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually by the Funds. Dividends to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Annual Report : June 30, 2007 | 10 |
Table of Contents
The Blue Fund Group
Notes to Financial Statements, continued
June 30, 2007 (Unaudited)
Federal Income Taxes: It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: As required, effective June 29, 2007 (or applicable effective date), the Fund (or Funds) adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. The adoption of FIN48 did not impact the Fund’s (or Funds’) net assets or results of operations.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. As of June 30, 2007, the Fund does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
3. INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Investment Adviser: Blue Investment Management, LLC (the “Investment Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to each Fund. Under the terms of the investment advisory agreement, the Investment Adviser is entitled to receive fees computed daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.00% and 1.25% of average net assets for the Large Cap and Small Cap Funds, respectively.
Under the terms of the five-year fee waiver and expense limitation agreement, the Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to limit the expenses to the extent that the Funds total annual operating expenses (not including brokerage commissions, hedging transaction fees, and other investment related costs, extraordinary, non-recurring and certain other unusual expenses such as litigation expenses and other extraordinary legal expenses, securities lending fees and expenses and transfer taxes) exceed 1.50% and 1.75% for the Large Cap and Small Cap Funds, respectively. The Investment Adviser is entitled to recoup amounts previously waived or reimbursed within 3 years of the month the initial waiver or reimbursement took place provided that by recouping payments the Investment Adviser does not force the Funds to exceed their current expense limitation agreements.
Administrator: Citi Fund Services Ohio, Inc. (the “Administrator” or “Citi”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Citi, Inc., serves as administrator of the Trust. Effective August 1, 2007, The BISYS Group, Inc. was acquired by and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Citi. The Trust and the Administrator have entered into a Master Services Agreement, under which the Administrator provides the Trust with administrative services, including day-to-day administration of matters necessary to each Fund’s operations, maintenance of records and the books of the Trust, preparation of reports and assistance with compliance monitoring of the Funds’ activities. Under the terms of the Master Services Agreement, the Administrator is entitled to receive an annual asset-based fee for administration and fund accounting of 13 basis points (0.13%) on the first $250 million in aggregate net assets of all Funds; 10 basis points (0.10%) of aggregate net assets of all Funds from over $250 million to $500 million; 7.5 basis points (0.075%) of aggregate net assets of all Funds in excess of $500 million. The annual asset-based fee is subject to an annual minimum equal to $82,500 for the first Fund plus $67,500 for the second Fund and $82,500 for each Fund in excess of two Funds. Under the Master Services Agreement, Citi also serves as transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent to the Funds. Citi is entitled to receive an annual per-account fee for such services that is applied to each shareholder account on Citi’s transfer agency system, subject to an annual minimum of $17,000 per class. For providing Administration, Fund Accounting and Transfer Agency fees to the Trust, Citi is entitled to an annual minimum fee of $165,000.
Certain officers of the Trust are affiliated with the Administrator. With the exception of the Chief Compliance Officer (as noted below), none of these individuals receives a fee from the Trust for serving as an officer.
Chief Compliance Officer: Citi also provides certain compliance services to the Trust pursuant to a Compliance Services Agreement. For its services, Citi receives an annual fee for the first year of $65,000, plus reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred while providing services to the Trust. This fee increases by $10,000 per year for years two and three of this agreement.

Distributor: The Trust has retained Foreside Distribution Services Limited Partnership (formerly BISYS Fund Services Limited Partnership) (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Foreside Distribution Services Limited Partnership and an affiliate of the Administrator, to serve as principal underwriter for the shares of the Funds, pursuant to a Distribution Agreement between the Distributor and the Adviser. Fees for such distribution services are paid to the Distributor by the Adviser.
Distribution Plan: Each Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Distribution Plan”). Pursuant to the Distribution Plan, each Fund will pay up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets for distribution related expenses. The Distribution Plan provides that the Funds pay the Distributor and other organizations for distributing such classes of shares, for advertising and marketing and for providing certain services to shareholders of the respective classes of shares.

You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/07 | Ending Account Value 6/30/07 | Expense Paid During Period* 1/1/07 - 6/30/07 | Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/07 - 6/30/07 | |||||||||
Large Cap Fund | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,050.00 | $ | 7.62 | 1.50 | % | ||||
Small Cap Fund | 1,000.00 | 1,048.50 | 8.89 | 1.75 | % |
* | Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the actual number of days of operations in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the period. |
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Beginning Account Value 1/1/07 | Ending Account Value | Expense Paid During 1/1/07 - 6/30/07 | Expense Ratio During Period 1/1/07 - 6/30/07 | |||||||||
Large Cap Fund | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,017.36 | $ | 7.50 | 1.50 | % | ||||
Small Cap Fund | 1,000.00 | 1,016.12 | 8.75 | 1.75 | % |
* | Expenses are equal to the average account value times the Funds’ annualized expense ratio multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year. |
