LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholder:

The third quarter 2006 ended with the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) hitting new highs. FPA Crescent has hit new highs as well, returning 7.34% for the nine months through September 30. Its performance for the year-to-date periods, however, now lags the broader stock market averages.¹ Although the DJIA has hit new highs, the Dow Jones Transportation Average is more than 8% below its all-time high reached earlier this year, despite the declining price of oil. One explanation may be that the expectation of future economic growth is suspect. We have no explanation for such a contradiction. These days the market seems to interpret information in such a way as to create the most positive spin. The good news of strong employment data is bullish. The bad news of weak retail sales is also bul lish because it points to a slowing economy which may cause the Fed to lower rates. Aesop's Fables has got nothing on the stock market.

As investment managers, we do not think we are so different from manufacturers. Investment ideas are our stock in trade, as opposed to widgets. Sadly, there aren't a lot of those coming out of our plant these days. We trust the reason is not that our equipment is broken. Opportunities certainly exist in the market. There is always something to do; however, we do not believe that there is enough to populate a portfolio in its entirety.

If you showed us an idea that had the following characteristics: good returns on capital, solid free cash flow, and the chance to make 30% on our money, we would not necessarily find such a company a reasonable investment. But how could we turn down 30%? The recognition that we do make mistakes, combined with the desire to avoid them as best we can, requires that we assign equal importance to the downside. There is not an equity investment without some measure of risk. At issue is the magnitude and probability. If the aforementioned "opportunity" also offered 20% downside, we would have to walk away from the shot at 30%, as a risk/reward of 1.5:1 holds no interest to us. Such is the environment that we operate in today. How much upside is enough? Well, that depends on your assessment of the downside. In our opinion, there are a plethora of companies we could see trading higher than their current prices, but not enough higher that the downside is being adequately protected. Downside protection can come in a host of ways, but our greatest time is spent on understanding what a company's intrinsic value is, i.e., the value of the business in a private market transaction and then making sure that we have made an investment at a sizeable discount from that value. The discount will vary as a function of the inherent risk in the business, its volatility, free cash flow, financial leverage, growth opportunities, and the quality and appropriate financial incentives for its management team. With the last consumer recession having occurred in 1991, its impact has receded further from the minds of many investors and young portfolio managers, the chance of losing money seems all too remote, but not to us.

We continue to seek the big decisions, both in size of individual investment as well as exposure to a given industry group. We are quite unlike the closet indexer who makes incremental decisions. For example, the energy sector comprises almost 10% of the S&P 500. A closet indexer may have a positive outlook for energy stocks and makes the incremental decision to have 11% of his portfolio invested in the sector. As far as indexing goes, we are certainly out of the closet. We prefer to avoid such incremental decisions. We have neither history nor interest in a "diet-slicing" investment approach. It is like wanting a piece of cake but denying yourself a full serving because you are on a diet, so you take just one thin little slice. Found wanting, you have another tiny portion, then another, and another when, before you know it, you have now had a larger amount than you would otherwise have had if you had just taken the full serving to begin with. Give us the big piece of cake. Our more concentrated strategy has served us well for many years and we expect that to be the case for years to come; however, short-term disconnects from the broader stock market cannot be avoided. Stated differently, we are willing to underperform for the short-term in an effort to outperform for the long-term.

As we become more invested, we bear in mind that we frequently invest early. Do not be surprised to

¹ See performance detail included.

see stocks we purchase decline before they increase. As long as fundamentals remain intact, we will likely increase our position. We view such declines as temporary. Temporary means not permanent. It does not mean quick. A stock we buy may remain out of favor for an extended period of time. This brings up the issue of Capital Risk versus Time Value Risk. Capital Risk is when there may be a permanent erosion of your capital, something we do our best to avoid. Time Value Risk is a temporary impairment of capital. At issue is how long is temporary? Frankly, it may be years, but we do not mind if a stock we own declines 30% in the first year, trades relatively flat for the next three years, and then in year five we see the stock double — still a compound rate of return close to 15%. We would neither be as stupid as we may appear in year one, as obstinate in years two through four, nor as smart in year five. Our strategy is discipline with t he long-term point of view kept firmly in mind. We do not invest for either the short or intermediate term. We look for an expected outcome over an extended period of time (that has averaged five years).

Speaking of long time frames and considering the 15% percent that we have invested in energy companies, and the sector's recent underperformance, we find it appropriate to further elucidate on our energy sector views.² We expect that energy investments will continue to be a large percentage of Crescent for many years. Because of this view, we tend to look through the short-term variations in prices. Although, when they trade ahead of where we think they should be, we will likely trim the position size, while when they decline too much, we expect to increase our holdings substantially.

Why are we so positive? Despite the price run-up in energy stocks during the past five years, this sector barely represents 10% of the S&P 500. It is up from a low of approximately 5%, but it is down from the 1979 peak of over 30%. Note that energy topped out at a level that was very close to where technology peaked in 2000. Though it has been a strong performer until recently, its significance as a percentage of the major averages, is still substantially less than other periods when a sector has become "the" sector to own. For example, the financial services sector currently represents over 22% of the S&P 500. After nearly 25 years of interest-rate declines and the explosion in financial derivatives and questionable lending practices, we prefer to own the shares of energy companies that operate in an industry with depleting global supply, rather than those of fi nancial companies with a seemingly unquenchable thirst for the expansion of credit.

In 1970-71, worldwide oil consumption was approximately 45 million barrels per day versus 84 million today. The last major oil fields to be discovered were in 1968 at Prudhoe Bay, Alaska and the Shaybah offshore field in Saudi Arabia. We are on the verge of doubling consumption and yet, there have been no other major fields discovered. In the case of the Shaybah field, production began in 1998, so this has helped Saudi Arabia to maintain its daily production. After nearly forty years of searching with the most advanced technology available, this causes us to question the likelihood of a continuation of low-cost energy.

It is impossible to know when a peak is reached until several years afterward. For example, depletion of U.S. oil reserves was first signaled in 1940 by the drop in yield to exploration, as measured by barrels per foot drilled. Oil production kept growing for another 30 years despite this deceleration in yields as a result of technological improvements. But then the inevitable happened, production peaked in 1970 and it has declined ever since. Interestingly, 80% of the oil produced today flows from fields discovered before 1970.³ Even more alarming, the global oil industry is now producing approximately three times the volume of crude it is finding each year. In other words, at current levels of drilling for oil we are using up and not replacing 67% of our oil consumption or about 55 milli on barrels per day. This last point is one of the primary reasons we have focused our investment on oil drilling companies because current low levels of

² As of October 19, 2006

drilling are not sustainable. Exploration and thereby drilling for oil must increase to keep production levels from declining over time.

Oil depletion is accelerating as evidenced by existing field production declines. According to 13D Research, ExxonMobil estimated a few years ago that by 2015, because of depletion of existing fields and growth in demand, the petroleum industry would need to add 100 million barrels per day of production. This is about four times the current level of production being added. If ExxonMobil is correct, this should be a boom for the oil drilling industry. Even if we see little growth from current production levels, exploration activity will still need to increase substantially to keep production constant. The operating leverage in the oil drilling businesses in which we have invested is huge. As demand for drilling rigs strengthens from already elevated levels, rig day rates will rise and the incremental change will flow straight to the bottom line with the growth in profits far above the growth in sales.

Outside of energy, much of our time has been spent studying those companies we would like to own and see a catalyst that could give us an opportunity to buy them at prices that meet our risk/reward parameters. There is the big ticket leisure product company whose industry's sales declined 47% in the early '90s recession. We have spent time with almost every public automotive retailer whose earnings typically decline 30-50% in economic downturns. Not one of these companies has been public during a recession. Then there are the two technology companies whose earnings have always been volatile, and yet seem close to being inexpensive predicated on normalized earnings. So we continue to visit these companies and others; study their financials; read their SEC filings (especially the footnotes), trade journals (if germane), maybe some Wall Street research reports, and whatever else we can think of that may help us make an informed investment decis ion. We want to be prepared to make an investment on the day when one of these company's stock price breaks. We are spending our time today for what we hope to invest in tomorrow.

The business of trading public and private companies continues to be one where liquidity is as easy to come by as rain was to Noah. People cannot seem to get enough of hedge funds and private equity funds. The capital from hedge funds alone now exceeds $1 trillion, and that does not include the additional available capital resulting from their ability to borrow. Hedge funds use of leverage can allow them to use multiples of their underlying capital and that can, at times, wreak havoc with the markets. Private equity funds, not to be left out, have raised $159 billion so far this year, four times the annual amount of a few years ago, much of which has yet to be invested.⁴ These leverage buyout (LBO) firms make large use of debt as well. Heck, they even have leverage in their name. In our op inion, there is too much capital chasing too few deals. We wonder both if their acquisitions will perform to expectation and if the public markets will be ready and willing to pay their hoped-for exit multiple when it comes time to sell. Most private equity funds need to sell within a certain time frame as their funds usually have finite lives, whereby capital must be returned to the partners at its end. We respect those firms that have closed to new capital and applaud those that have returned capital to their partners. Today's excess liquidity will probably one day dry up. Leverage funds will likely implode (e.g., Long Term Capital in 1998). We look forward to providing a home to a few of the animals no longer seeking shelter from the rain.

In closing, we are happy to report that First Pacific Advisors has successfully completed our transaction with Old Mutual (US) Holdings. We are now a Limited Liability Company owned entirely by eight internal members of FPA. This is the first time in the fifty year history of this organization that the members who manage your Fund are the sole owners of the firm. We believe this solidifies the organization so that we may continue to operate it with a long-term

perspective that is in the best interests of our mutual fund shareholders, clients, employees and members. We thank Old Mutual plc for helping to make this an absolutely smooth transition and wish them well in their future endeavors.

The data quoted represents past performance and is not indicative of future performance. An investment in the Fund may fluctuate so that an investor's shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost. All returns assume the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. There are no assurances that the Fund will meet its stated objectives. A portfolio's holdings and allocations are subject to change because it is actively managed and should not be considered recommendations to buy individual securities.

*  Returns from inception are annualized. The annualized performance of the Russell 2500 and Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Indexes begins 6/1/93. The total return of the Fund reflects fees waived and expenses assumed by the Adviser. Without such fees waived and expenses assumed, the total return would be lower.

Definition of the Comparative Indices

Balanced Benchmark is a hypothetical combination of unmanaged indices comprised of 60% Russell 2500 Index and 40% Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index, reflecting the Fund's neutral mix of 60% stocks and 40% bonds.

Lehman Brothers Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged index of investment grade bonds, including U.S. government treasury bonds, corporate bonds and yankee bonds.

Russell 2500 Index is an unmanaged index comprised of 2,500 stocks of U.S. companies with small market capitalization.

Index returns assume reinvestment of dividends and, unlike the Fund's returns, do not reflect any fees or expenses. If such fees and expenses were included in the index returns, the performance would have been lower. Please note that one cannot invest directly in an unmanaged index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2006

NOTE 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

The FPA Funds Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. FPA Crescent Fund (the "Fund") is an open-end, diversified, management investment company. At September 30, 2005, the FPA Funds Trust was comprised of only the Fund. The Fund's investment objective is to provide a total return consistent with reasonable risk through a combination of income and capital appreciation by investing in a combination of equity securities and fixed income obligations. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

A.  Security Valuation

Securities listed or traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the last business day of the period, or if there was not a sale that day, at the last bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price on the last business day of the period, or if there was not a sale that day, at the last bid price. Unlisted securities and securities listed on a national securities exchange for which the over-the-counter market more accurately reflects the securities' value in the judgement of the Fund's officers, are valued at the most recent bid price or other ascertainable market value. Short-term investments with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under th e direction of, the Board of Trustees.

B.  Federal Income Tax

No provision for federal income tax is required because the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code and intends to maintain this qualification and to distribute each year to its shareholders, in accordance with the minimum distribution requirements of the Code, all of its taxable net investment income and taxable net realized gains on investments.

C.  Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income

Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis.

D.  Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 — Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

Cost of purchases of investment securities (excluding securities sold short and short-term investments with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase) aggregated $451,788,852 for the period ended September 30, 2006. The proceeds and cost of securities sold resulting in net realized gains of $24,350,546 aggregated $395,594,763 and $371,244,217, respectively, for the period ended September 30, 2006. Realized gains or losses are based on the specific identification method. In addition, the Fund may be liable for an additional $8,000,000 for unfunded commitments on revolving bank debt. The cost of investment securities (excluding securities sold short) held at September 30, 2006 for federal tax purposes was $919,203,754. Gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for all investment securities (excluding securities sold short) at September 30, 2006 for federal income tax purposes was $239,953,606 and $10,340,779, respectively, res ulting in net unrealized appreciation of $229,612,827.

NOTE 3 — Advisory Fees and Other Affiliated Transactions

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, advisory fees were paid by the Fund to First Pacific Advisors, Inc. (the "Adviser"). Under the terms of this Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee calculated at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, the Fund pays the Adviser an amount equal to 0.10% of the average daily net assets for each fiscal year for the provision of financial services to the Fund. The Adviser has agreed to voluntarily reduce its fees for any annual expenses (exclusive of short sale dividends, interest, taxes, the cost of any supplemental statistical and research information, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation) in excess of 1.85% of the average net assets

17

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Continued

of the Fund for the year. The Adviser is not obligated to continue this fee reduction policy indefinitely.

The investment advisory agreement provides that it may be renewed from year to year by (i) the Board of Trustees of the Fund or by the vote of a majority (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, and (ii) by the vote of a majority of Directors who are not interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Fund or of the Adviser cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. At a meeting of the Board of Trustees held on February 6, 2006, a new investment advisory agreement between the Fund and Resolute, LLC ("Resolute") was approved by the Board of Trustees and by a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund, the Adviser or Resolute. Resolute was created by the principals and key investment professionals of the Fund's current Adviser. Resolute has exercised its option to purchase, among other things, the operating assets and name of the Adviser. This purchase took effect on September 30, 2006 and the new investment advisory agreement went into effect on October 1, 2006. This new investment advisory agreement is identical to the Fund's current investment advisory agreement. At a special meeting of shareholders held on May 1, 2006, the shareholders of the Fund approved the new investment advisory agreement. On October 1, 2006 Resolute changed its name to First Pacific Advisors, LLC.

In determining whether to renew the current advisory agreement and approve the new agreement with Resolute, those Fund Trustees who were not interested persons of the Fund, the Adviser or Resolute met separately to evaluate information provided by the Adviser in accordance with the 1940 Act and to determine their recommendation to the full Board of Trustees. The Trustees considered a variety of factors, including the quality of advisory, management and accounting services provided to the Fund, the fees and expenses borne by the Fund, the profitability of the Adviser and the investment performance of the Fund both on an absolute basis and as compared with a peer group of mutual funds. The Fund's advisory fee and expense ratio were also considered in light of the advisory fees and expense ratios of a peer group of mutual funds. The Trustees noted the quality and depth of e xperience of the Adviser and its investment and administrative personnel. The Trustees also took into consideration the benefits derived by the Adviser from arrangements under which it receives research services from brokers to whom the Fund's brokerage transactions are allocated. Based upon its consideration of these and other relevant factors, the Trustees concluded that the advisory fees and other expenses paid by the Fund are fair and that shareholders have received reasonable value in return for such fees and expenses.

For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund paid aggregate fees of $24,500 to all Trustees who are not interested persons of the Adviser. Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of the Adviser and FPA Fund Distributors. Inc.

NOTE 4 — Securities Sold Short

The Fund maintains cash deposits in amounts equal to the current market value of the securities sold short or the market value of the securities at the time they were sold short, whichever is greater. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. The dividends on securities sold short are reflected as short sale dividend expense.

NOTE 5 — Redemption Fees

A redemption fee of 2% applies to redemptions within 90 days of purchase. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund collected $59,142 in redemption fees, which amounts to less than $0.01 per share.

NOTE 6 — Distributor

FPA Fund Distributors, Inc. ("Distributor"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Adviser, received no fees for distribution services during the year. The distributor pays its own overhead and general administrative expenses, the cost of supplemental sales literature, promotion and advertising.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

September 30, 2006

Fund Expenses

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory and administrative fees; shareholder service fees; and other Fund expenses. The 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 year and held for the entire year.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table under the heading "Actual Performance" provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this column, 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 column in the row entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" 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 and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)" 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.

	Actual Performance		Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)
Beginning Account Value March 31, 2006	$	1,000.00	$	1,000.00
Ending Account Value September 30, 2006	$	1,020.70	$	1,017.99
Expenses Paid During Period*	$	6.99	$	7.01

*  Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.38%, multiplied by the average account value over the period and prorated for the six-months ended September 30, 2006 (183/365 days).
