UCM SHORT DURATION FUND

A MESSAGE TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS

NOVEMBER 30, 2011

The UCM Short Duration Fund (the “Fund”) completed its first fiscal year ending November 30, 2011. Net performance was significantly ahead of the Fund’s benchmark index, the Barclays Capital 1 – 3 Year Government Index (the “Index”). Although in existence for under a year, from inception on December 23, 2010 through November 30, 2011, net performance for the Institutional Shares was 4.22%, more than 250 basis points or 2.5% above the Index return of 1.70%. Net performance for the Investor Shares was 3.89%, more than 2% above the Index return. Net performance was positive for each calendar month during the year, despite periods of market volatility.

The Fund invests in high quality fixed income securities with duration or average duration generally three years and under. During this reporting period the average duration of the Fund’s portfolio ranged from 1.5 to 3 years, on the higher end of the Fund’s expected average duration over time. UCM Partners, L.P. (“UCM”), the adviser to the Fund, invested in a combination of treasury, agency, municipal, and securitized debt instruments with an objective strategy of maintaining a high quality, well diversified portfolio of securities that would be in a position to benefit from current market conditions. After purchasing securities, UCM continuously evaluates the Fund to identify securities that should be sold either because they have achieved their target prices, because UCM believed they were at risk of underpeformance based on new information in our ongoing analysis, or because UCM identified a more attractive replacement. In general our portfolio turnover has been modest. Turnover, including paydowns and maturities, was just under 100% for the fiscal year, consistent with our expectations.

During the fiscal year, performance benefitted from the following:

Slightly greater interest rate sensitivity than the Index as rates declined. Over the course of 2011, despite some volatility in rates, the general trend was for declining interest rates, largely influenced by the Fed’s announcement that the target Fed Funds rate would remain close to zero for the next two years and a “flight to quality” resulting from growing uncertainty in the Euro Zone and slowing economic growth globally. Three month treasury bill yields declined from approximately 0.12% to approximately 0.00% from December 31, 2010 to November 30, 2011, while three year treasury note yields declined from approximately 1.00% to 0.30% during this same time frame. Declines in yields result in increases in bond prices, and the longer a bond’s maturity is, the greater the price impact.

Allocation to securitized debt including Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities (“CMBS”), Asset Backed Securities (“ABS”) and Mortgage Backed Securities (“MBS”), was primarily government issued. UCM specializes in the identification, evaluation, and trading of these sectors. UCM was able to invest in a number of securities with attractive yields and prices, and benefited from these securities rising in price because of growing demand for these types of high quality instruments.

The Fund maintained a significant yield to maturity advantage relative to the Index. This higher yield contributed to excess return as well. On average, the Fund had an approximate 50% allocation to securitized debt instruments over the course of the fiscal year, versus the Index which had a 0% allocation to these instruments.

There have been no securities or sectors that have had a material negative impact on Fund performance or on expected future performance. In addition to the overall market/economic/European themes of weakness and volatility, the one other major event was the downgrade of U.S. Treasuries by S&P from AAA to AA+. But there was no negative economic impact to the Fund. In fact, this had a positive rather than negative impact on Treasury prices as this sector remained the ultimate beneficiary of “flight to quality” or “risk-off” events. UCM does not expect that to change in the near term. UCM intends to continue to manage the Fund in the same manner going forward. At some point UCM expects economic and global conditions to improve, which may lead to rising rates. At that time UCM will likely reduce interest rate sensitivity for the Fund, but maintain sector weightings similar to how they are currently. The Fund does not use derivatives in any manner.

IMPORTANT RISKS AND DISCLOSURE:

Investments are subject to risk, including the possible loss of principal. As interest rates rise, the value of debt securities decrease; whereas prepayment risk tends to occur during periods of declining interest rates. Recent turbulence in the financial markets and reduced liquidity in the credit and fixed-income market may have an adverse effect on the Fund.

The views in this report were those of the Fund manager as of November 30, 2011, and may not reflect their views on the date this report is first published or any time thereafter. These views are intended to assist shareholders in understanding their investment in the Fund and do not constitute investment advice. This letter may contain discussions about certain investments both held and not held in the portfolio. All current and future holdings are subject to risk and to change.

PERFORMANCE CHARTS AND ANALYSIS (Unaudited)

NOVEMBER 30, 2011

The following charts reflect the change in the value of a hypothetical $10,000 and $1,000,000 investment in Investor Shares and Institutional Shares, respectively, including reinvested dividends and distributions, in the UCM Short Duration Fund (the “Fund”) compared with the performance of the benchmark, Barclays Capital 1-3 Year Government Index (the "Index"), since inception. The Index includes Treasury and Agency securities issued by the U.S. Government with a maturity from 1 up to (but not including) 3 years. The Index contains only dollar denominated, investment grade issues with at least $250 million par outstanding. The total return of the Index includes the reinvestment of dividends and income. The total return of the Fund includes operating expenses that reduce returns, while the total return of the Index does not include expenses. The Fund is professionally managed while the Index is unmanaged and is not available for investment.

Performance data quoted represents past performance and is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. As stated in the Fund's prospectus, the annual operating expense ratios (gross) for Investor Shares and Institutional Shares are 0.90% and 0.65%, respectively. However, the Fund's adviser has agreed to contractually reduce a portion of its fees and to reimburse expenses such that total operating expenses do not exceed 0.85% and 0.60% for Investor Shares and Institutional Shares,respectively through at least March 31, 2013. The performance table and graph do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

These financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of increase and decrease in net assets from operations during the fiscal period. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:

Security Valuation – Exchange-traded securities and over-the-counter securities are valued using the last quoted sale or official closing price, provided by independent pricing services as of the close of trading on the market or exchange for which they are primarily traded, on each Fund business day. In the absence of a sale, such securities are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask price provided by independent pricing services. Non-exchange traded securities for which quotations are available are valued using the last quoted sales price, or in the absence of a sale at the mean of the last bid and ask prices provided by independent pricing services. Debt securities may be valued at prices supplied by a fund’s pricing agent based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics such as rating, interest rate and maturity. Short-term investments that mature in 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost.

The Fund values its investments at fair value pursuant to procedures adopted by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") if (1) market quotations are insufficient or not readily available or (2) the adviser believes that the values available are unreliable. Fair valuation is based on subjective factors and, as a result, the fair value price of an investment may differ from the security’s market price and may not be the price at which the asset may be sold. Fair valuation could result in a different NAV than a NAV determined by using market quotes.

The Fund has a three-tier fair value hierarchy. The basis of the tiers is dependent upon the various “inputs” used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices of similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The aggregate value by input level, as of November 30, 2011, for the Fund’s investments is included at the end of the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Security Transactions, Investment Income and Realized Gain and Loss – Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Foreign dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon as possible after the Fund determines the existence of a dividend declaration after exercising reasonable due diligence. Income and capital gains on some foreign securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which are accrued as applicable. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium is amortized and discount is accreted using the effective interest method. Identified cost of investments sold is used to determine the gain and loss for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes.

Restricted Securities – The Fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale (“restricted securities”). Restricted securities may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Federal securities laws or if the securities are registered to the public. The sale or other disposition of these securities may involve additional expenses and the prompt sale of these securities at an acceptable price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities held by the Fund is

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOVEMBER 30, 2011

included in the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.

Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions to shareholders of net investment income, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders of net capital gains, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with applicable federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are due primarily to differing treatments of income and gain on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Fund. On December 13, 2011, the Fund paid a distribution of $0.1137 per share in short term capital gains, related to the period ended November 30, 2011.

Federal Taxes – The Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute all of its taxable income to shareholders. In addition, by distributing in each calendar year substantially all its net investment income and capital gains, if any, the Fund will not be subject to a federal excise tax. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

As of November 30, 2011, there are no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure.

Income and Expense Allocation – The Trust accounts separately for the assets, liabilities and operations of each of its investment portfolios. Expenses that are directly attributable to more than one investment portfolio are allocated among the respective investment portfolios in an equitable manner. The Fund’s class specific expenses are charged to the operations of that class of shares. Income and expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on the class’ respective net assets to the total net assets of the Fund.

Commitments and Contingencies – In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that provide general indemnifications by the Fund to the counterparty to the contract. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Offering Costs – Offering costs for the Fund of $37,931 consist of fees related to the mailing and printing of the initial prospectus, certain startup legal costs, and initial registration filings. Such costs are amortized over a twelve-month period beginning with the commencement of operations of the Fund.

Note 3. Fees and Expenses

Investment Adviser – UCM Partners, L.P. (the “Adviser”) is the investment adviser to the Fund. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement, the Adviser receives an advisory fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Distribution – Foreside Fund Services, LLC serves as the Fund’s distributor (the “Distributor”). The Distributor is not affiliated with the Adviser or Atlantic Fund Administration, LLC (d/b/a Atlantic Fund Services) (“Atlantic”) or their affiliates. The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) for Investor Shares in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Act. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor and/or any other entity as authorized by the Board a fee of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Investor Shares.

Other Service Providers – Atlantic provides fund accounting, fund administration, and transfer agency services to the Fund. Atlantic also provides certain shareholder report production, and EDGAR conversion and filing services. Pursuant to an Atlantic services agreement, the Fund pays Atlantic customary fees for its services. Atlantic provides a Principal Executive Officer, a Principal Financial Officer, a Chief Compliance Officer, and an Anti-Money Laundering Officer to the Fund, as well as certain additional compliance support functions.

Trustees and Officers – The Trust pays each independent Trustee an annual retainer fee of $45,000 for service to the Trust ($66,000 for the Chairman). In addition, the Chairman receives a monthly stipend of $500 to cover certain expenses incurred in connection with his duties to the Trust. The Trustees and Chairman may receive additional fees for special Board meetings. Each Trustee is also reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with his duties as a Trustee, including travel and related expenses incurred in attending Board meetings. The amount of Trustees’ fees attributable to the Fund is disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers or employees of the above named service providers,

and during their terms of office received no compensation from the Fund.

Note 4. Expense Reimbursements and Fees Waived

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee and reimburse certain expenses through March 31, 2013, to limit annual operating expenses to 0.85% and 0.60% of Investor and Institutional Shares, respectively. Other fund service providers have voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of their fees. These voluntary waivers may be reduced or eliminated at any time. For the period ended November 30, 2011, fees waived and expenses reimbursed were as follows:

Investment Adviser Fees Waived		Investment Adviser Expenses Reimbursed		Other Waivers		Total Fees Waived and Expenses Reimbursed
$23,834		$186,477		$41,855		$252,166

Note 5. Security Transactions

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (including maturities), other than short-term investments during the period ended November 30, 2011, were as follows:

Non-U.S. Government Obligations		U.S. Government Obligations
Purchases	Sales	Purchases	Sales
$5,175,147	$2,444,912	$6,447,656	$3,256,588

Note 6. Federal Income Tax and Investment Transactions

Distributions during the fiscal period ended as noted were characterized for tax purposes as follows:

2011

Ordinary Income

115,190

As of November 30, 2011, distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed Ordinary Income	$	74,266
Unrealized Appreciation		86,525
Total	$	160,791

The difference between components of distributable earnings on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to non-deductible offering costs and paydown transactions.

On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, certain amounts have been reclassified for the period ended November 30, 2011. The following reclassifications were the result of non-deductible offering costs and pay down gain/loss and has no impact on the net assets of the Fund.

Accumulated Net Investment Income (Loss)	$	163
Undistributed Net Realized Gain (Loss)		6,827
Paid-in-Capital		(6,990	)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of Forum Funds and the Shareholders of UCM Short Duration Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the UCM Short Duration Fund, a series of shares of beneficial interest in the Forum Funds, including the schedule of investments, as of November 30, 2011, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for the period December 23, 2010 (commencement of operations) through November 30, 2011. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 November 30, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian. 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 audit provides 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 the UCM Short Duration Fund as of November 30, 2011, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and its financial highlights for the period December 23, 2010 through November 30, 2011, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

A description of the policies and procedures that the Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to securities held in the Fund’s portfolio, is available, without charge and upon request, by calling (877) 828-8210 and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. The Fund’s proxy voting record for the period of December 23, 2010 (the Fund’s commencement of operations) through June 30, 2011, is available, without charge and upon request, by calling (877) 828-8210 and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Quarterly Portfolio Schedules

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available, without charge and upon request on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling (800) SEC-0330.

Shareholder Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) 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 from June 1, 2011, through November 30, 2011.

Actual Expenses – The first line under each share class 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 = 8.6), 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 the period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes – The second line under each share class of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual 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 the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund 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 to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

	Beginning		Ending		Expenses		Annualized
	Account Value		Account Value		Paid During		Expense
	June 1, 2011		November 30, 2011		Period*		Ratio*
Investor Shares
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,012.25	$	4.29	0.85	%
Hypothetical (5% return before taxes)	$	1,000.00	$	1,020.81	$	4.31	0.85	%
Institutional Shares
Actual	$	1,000.00	$	1,013.52	$	3.03	0.60	%
Hypothetical (5% return before taxes)	$	1,000.00	$	1,022.06	$	3.04	0.60	%

*	Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by 365 to reflect the half-year period.

Federal Tax Status of Dividends Declared during the Tax Year

For federal income tax purposes, dividends from short-term capital gains are classified as ordinary income. The Fund designates 100.00% of its income distributions as qualified interest income exempt from U.S. tax for foreign shareholders (QII).

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
