To the Board of Trustees of M3Sixty Funds Trust and the Shareholders of Cognios
Large Cap Value Fund, Cognios Large Cap Growth Fund, and Cognios Market Neutral Large Cap Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Cognios Large Cap Value Fund, Cognios Large Cap Growth Fund, and Cognios Market Neutral Large Cap Fund, each a series of shares of beneficial interest in M3Sixty Funds Trust (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2018, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the year or period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of June 30, 2018, and the results of their operations, cash flows, changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for the year or period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The statements of operations, cash flows, changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the years or periods ended prior to June 30, 2018 were audited by other auditors, whose reports dated August 29, 2017 and November 29, 2017, expressed unqualified opinions on such financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of those financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
