ANNUAL REPORT




FRANK VALUE FUND




June 30, 2005






















[frankannual092005002.jpg]

To our shareholders,


Investors remained skittish during the second quarter of 2005, presenting the fund with many buying opportunities. Fears were fed by uncertainties in the global economy, rising inflation, and rocketing oil prices, but strong underlying fundamentals in numerous companies were ignored. Several companies in the Frank Value Fund posted stronger than expected profits but remained unrewarded in stock price gains. For this reason, we both increased our personal stakes in the fund by investing a total of $16,000 in the second quarter. This money is being used to increase our positions in our cheap stocks that now have even better fundamentals for the same price. For the period since inception on July 21, 2004 to June 30, 2005, the fund returned 7.60% while the S&P 500 returned 10.56%. We believe our returns are lagging the S&P because the fund is over-weighted in certain industry groups that remain out of favor with investors, such as technology. However, we wholeheartedly believe our shareholders will be rewarded in the coming quarters and have staked our personal capital in line with this view.


For the second time in our history, we were featured in the Morris County’s Daily Record, based on a presentation we made to the Financial Club of Morris County at the Park Avenue Club in Florham Park, New Jersey. This article is available for viewing on our website (www.frankfunds.com) under the newsroom tab. Furthermore, for those of you interested in the Frank Value Fund holdings, we now provide all of our public SEC filings on the website, also located under the newsroom tab.


June 30 marks the end of the fund’s fiscal year and the eleventh month of operation. Since it is the end of our fiscal year we will be paying a dividend before calendar year-end. Those of you who chose to reinvest the dividend will receive additional shares, otherwise you will receive a check. We strongly recommend reinvestment of your dividend. Your quarterly statement shows which distribution option you selected, and you can change this option by contacting Mutual Shareholder Services at 1-866-313-1344. In January 2006 you will receive a 1099 detailing tax implications.   

   

Thank you for your investment. We look forward to continuing to work with you.


Sincerely,



Alfred and Brian Frank

Frank Value Fund Portfolio Managers

FRANK VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2005



Note 1. Organization

Frank Value Fund (the “Fund”), is a non-diversified series of the Frank Funds (the “Trust”), an open-end regulated investment company that was organized as an Ohio business trust on February 12, 2004. The Trust is permitted to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest of separate series, each series representing a distinct fund with its own investment objective and policies.  At present, there is only one series authorized by the Trust.  Frank Capital Partners LLC is the adviser to the Fund (the “Adviser”).  The Fund’s investment objective is to provide long-term capital appreciation. The Fund’s principal investment strategy is value investing.

 

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies employed by the Fund in preparing its financial statements:


Security Valuation- Equity securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  Securities that are traded on any stock exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price.  Lacking a last sale price, an equity security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price.  When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Trustees.


Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities.  A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices.  If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees.  Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value.


Financial Futures Contracts:  The Fund may invest in financial futures contracts solely for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that the Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in market values or interest rates.  Upon entering into financial futures contract, the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. government securities, or other assets, equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit).  Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the security.  The fund recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin.  Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets.

 

Share Valuation- The price (net asset value) of the shares of the Fund is normally determined as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on each day the Fund is open for business and on any other day on which there is sufficient trading in the Fund’s securities to materially affect the net asset value. The Fund is normally open for business on every day except Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King Day, Presidents Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.


Security Transaction Timing- Security transactions are recorded on the dates transactions are entered into (the trade dates).  Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recognized on the ex-dividend date.  Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  The Fund uses the identified cost basis in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.  Withholding taxes on foreign dividends will be provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.


Income Taxes- The Fund intends to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. By so qualifying, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its net investment income and any realized capital gains. It is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.  This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income.  In addition, it is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.


 Use of Estimates- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Other- Generally accepted accounting principles require that permanent financial reporting tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid in capital.


Note 3. Investment Management Agreement

The Trust has a Management Agreement with the Adviser. Under the terms of the Management Agreement, the Adviser manages the investment portfolio of the Fund, subject to policies adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Under the Management Agreement, the Adviser, at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Trust, furnishes office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and executive personnel necessary for managing the assets of the Fund. The Adviser also pays the salaries and fees of all its officers and employees that serve as officers and trustees of the Trust.  The Adviser pays all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund except brokerage fees and commissions, taxes, borrowing costs (such as (a) interest and (b) dividend expenses on securities sold short), and extraordinary expenses. For its services and the payment of Fund ordinary operating expenses, the Adviser receives an annual investment management fee of 1.50% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the period from July 21, 2004 (commencement of investment operations) through June 30, 2005, the Adviser earned a fee of $2,987 from the Fund. As of June 30, 2005 the Fund owed the Adviser $329.


The Adviser paid trustee fees of $1,200 for the period July 21, 2004 (Commencement of Investment Operations) through June 30, 2005.


Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Alfred C. Frank and Brian J. Frank are the control persons of the Adviser. Alfred Frank also serves as a trustee and officer of the Trust. Brian Frank also serves as an officer of the Trust. Both Alfred Frank and Brian Frank receive benefits from the Adviser resulting from management fees paid to the Adviser by the Fund.


Note 5. Organizational Expenses

The Adviser has agreed to absorb all initial organizational expenses of the Fund.


Note 6. Capital Share Transactions

The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of separate series.  The total paid-in was $251,014.  Transactions in capital were as follows:

Note 8. Tax Matters

For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at June 30, 2005 was $254,184.

Note 9. Control and Ownership

FRANK VALUE FUND

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION

JUNE 30, 2005 (UNAUDITED)



Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Frank Value Fund, you incur one type of ongoing cost: management fees. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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 period, January 1, 2005 through June 30, 2005.

Actual Expenses

The first line 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 this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM




To the Shareholders and

Board of Trustees

Frank Value Fund

A Series of the Frank Funds


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Frank Value Fund, (the "Fund"), a series of the Frank Funds (the “Trust”), including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2005 and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the period July 21, 2004 (commencement of investment operations) through June 30, 2005.  The financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 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 and cash owned as of June 30, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. 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 Frank Value Fund, a series of the Frank Funds, as of June  30, 2005, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period July 21, 2004 (commencement of investment operations) through June 30, 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
