UTOPIA FUNDS

NOTES T0 SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

December  31, 2008 (Unaudited)

 

1. ORGANIZATION

 

Utopia Funds (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust was organized on May 23, 2005 as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to a Declaration of Trust governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. The Trust currently consists of shares of beneficial interest (“shares”) of the Utopia Growth Fund, Utopia Core Fund, Utopia Core Conservative Fund, and the Utopia Yield Income Fund. Each Fund is non-diversified with an investment objective to seek long-term absolute total return. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to create additional funds and classes. However, the Board of Trustees has approved a plan to liquidate and terminate the Funds on March 31, 2009.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies.

 

Use of Estimates: The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This 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 from operations during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Security Valuation: A Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which is generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, on each day when the NYSE is open for trading. The Funds do not price their shares on days when the NYSE is closed for trading. When net asset value is computed, quotations of foreign securities in foreign currencies are converted into the U.S. dollar equivalents at the prevailing market rates. Trading in securities on exchanges and over-the-counter markets in Europe and Asia is normally completed at various times prior to the current closing time of the NYSE. Trading on foreign exchanges may not take place on every day that the NYSE is open. Conversely, trading in various foreign markets may take place on days when the NYSE is not open and on other days when net asset value is not calculated. Consequently, calculation of the net asset value for a Fund may not occur at the same time as determination of the most current market prices of the securities included in the calculation, and the value of the net assets held by the Fund may be significantly affected on days when shares are not available for purchase or redemption.

 

The market value of domestic equity securities is determined by valuing securities traded on national securities markets or in the over-the-counter markets at the last sale price or, if applicable, the official closing price or, in the absence of a recent sale on the date of determination, at the latest bid price.

 

Foreign equity securities are valued as of the close of trading on the primary exchange or market on which they trade. The Funds’ accounting services provider will use a fair valuation model provided by an independent pricing service, which is intended to reflect fair value when a security’s value or a meaningful portion of the Fund’s portfolio is believed to have been materially affected by a valuation event that has occurred between the close of the exchange or market on which the security is traded and the close of regular trading on the NYSE. The Funds’ valuation procedures set forth certain triggers which instruct the accounting services provider when to use the fair valuation model. The value assigned to a security by the fair valuation model is a determination of fair value made under the Funds’ valuation procedures and under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. In such a case, a Fund’s value for a security may be different from the last sale price (or the latest bid price) and there is no guarantee that a fair valued security will be sold at the price at which a fund is carrying the security.

 



 

Fixed-income securities are valued by using market quotations or independent pricing services that use either prices provided by market-makers or matrixes that produce estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. The value assigned to a security by a pricing service is a determination of fair value made under the Funds’ valuation procedures and under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. There is no guarantee that a fair valued security will be sold at the price at which a Fund is carrying the security.

 

Other securities, and all other assets, including securities for which a market price is not available or the value of which is materially affected by a valuation event which occurred prior to the time when net asset value is computed, are valued at a fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees, or under the direction of the Board of Trustees, and in accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures or by the Funds’ Pricing Committee (which is comprised of employees of the Adviser) and/or the Board’s Valuation Committee under the supervision of the Board of Trustees and in accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures. The value of fair valued securities may be different from the last sale price (or the latest bid price), and there is no guarantee that a fair valued security will be sold at the price at which a Fund is carrying the security.

 

Reverse Convertible Bonds:  A reverse convertible bond is a short-term bond that is linked to an underlying stock. At maturity, the investor receives either 100 percent of the original investment amount or a predetermined number of shares of the underlying stock. The stated coupon is paid regardless of what happens at maturity. The primary risk of these securities is that they are not principal protected. At maturity, the investor may receive shares of the underlying stock worth less than their original investment amount. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds’ did not hold any convertible bonds.

 

Consumer Price Index Linked Bonds:  A Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) linked bond pays a coupon that is determined based on the monthly percentage difference of the CPI Index as measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. This Index is published monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and is a measure of inflation in the United States. The primary risk is the interest rate applicable to notes linked to an index such as the Consumer Price Index may be linked to period-over-period changes in the level of the index for the relevant index measurement period. If the index does not increase during the relevant measurement period, holders of these notes may not receive any interest payments for the applicable interest period. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds’ did not hold any CPI linked bonds.

 

Range Notes: Range notes are securities whose coupon payments are linked to a reference range of a specified index. For example, as long as the Libor Yield remains within a fixed target range, coupon payments are made. The primary risk is if the Libor Yield is outside the specified reference range. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds’ did not hold any range notes.

 

Non-Inversion Notes:  A non-inversion note is a bond that pays a stated coupon as long as the yield curve between two stated maturities on the CMS curve, Constant Maturity Swap Curve, do not invert. The primary risk is if the interest rate changes. As of December 31, 2008, the Core Fund held one non-inversion note.

 

Fixed to Float: A fixed to float bond indicates the structured note coupon rate changes from Fixed to Floater over the life of the security. The primary risk is after the fixed period, the coupon rate falls to a lower rate. As of December 31, 2008 the Funds’ did not hold any fixed to floats.

 

London Interbank Offered Rate Floater: A London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) floater is a bond whose interest adjusts based on a LIBOR benchmark. The primary risk is if LIBOR falls. As of December 31, 2008, the Utopia Core Fund, Utopia Core Conservative Fund and the Utopia Yield Income Fund held LIBOR floaters.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions:  The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The Funds may purchase securities that are denominated in a foreign currency or debt obligations that are payable in a foreign currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities that are denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the day of valuation.  Amounts

 



 

related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange on the dates of such transactions.

 

Futures Contracts: The Funds will use such instruments for the purpose of speculation, bona fide hedging or risk management. A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Funds may buy and sell stock index futures contracts, interest rate futures contracts, currency futures and other commodity futures. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.

 

Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value.  Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund periodically.

 

Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have any futures contracts.

 

Options: The Funds may write put and call options for speculative, bona fide hedging or risk management purposes. When a Fund writes a put or call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is decreased by the premium originally received. As a writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether the underlying securities are subsequently sold (call) or purchased (put) and, as a result, bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

The Funds may also purchase put and call options. When a Fund purchases a call or put option, an amount equal to the premium paid is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as an investment, and is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a Fund exercises a call, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a Fund exercises a put option, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds did not hold any options.

 

Swap Agreements: The Funds may enter into interest rate, securities index, commodity, or security and currency exchange rate swap agreements and related caps, floors, and collars. The Funds will use such instruments for the purpose of speculation, bona fide hedging or risk management purposes. Swap agreements are two party contracts in which the parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or instruments. The gross returns to be exchanged or “swapped” between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a “notional amount,” i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested in a “basket” of particular securities or securities representing a particular index. Parties may also enter into bilateral swap agreements, which obligate one party to pay the amount of any net appreciation in a basket or index of securities while the counter party is obligated to pay the amount of any net depreciation. A Fund records an increase or decrease to realized gain (loss), in the amount due to or owed by the Fund at termination or settlement. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have any swap agreements.

 

Short Sales: Each Fund may sell a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that security. When a Fund sells a security short, it must borrow the security sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which it made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Fund sold the

 



 

security short, or a loss, unlimited in size, will be recognized upon the termination of the short sale.  As of December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have any securities sold short.

 

Securities Lending: Each Fund may seek additional income at times by lending its portfolio securities up to 33 1/3% of its total assets to broker-dealers and financial institutions provided that: (1) the loan is secured by collateral that is continuously maintained in an amount at least equal to the current market value of the securities loaned, (2) the Fund may call the loan at any time with proper notice and receive the securities loaned, (3) the Fund will continue to receive interest and/or dividends paid on the loaned securities and may simultaneously earn interest on the investment of any cash collateral and (4) the aggregate market value of all securities loaned by the Fund will not at any time exceed the maximum permitted under the 1940 Act. Collateral will normally consist of cash or cash equivalents, securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities or irrevocable letters of credit. Securities lending by a Fund involves the risk that the borrower may fail to return the loaned securities or maintain the proper amount of collateral. Therefore, a Fund will only enter into such lending after a review by the Adviser of the borrower’s financial statements, reports and other information as may be necessary to evaluate the creditworthiness of the borrower. Such reviews will be conducted on an ongoing basis as long as the loan is outstanding. As of December 31, 2008, the Funds did not have any securities on loan.

 

Warrants: The Funds may invest in warrants. A warrant gives the holder a right to purchase at any time during a specified period a predetermined number of shares of common stock at a fixed price. Unlike convertible debt securities or preferred stock, warrants do not pay a fixed coupon or dividend. Investments in warrants involve certain risks, including the possible lack of a liquid market for resale of the warrants, potential price fluctuations as a result of speculation or other factors, and failure of the price of the underlying security to reach or have reasonable prospects of reaching a level at which the warrant can be prudently exercised (in which event the warrant may expire without being exercised, resulting in a loss of a Fund’s entire investment therein). As of December 31, 2008, each Fund held warrants.

 

Restricted Securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to restrictions on resale because they have not been registered under the 1933 Act. These securities are sometimes referred to as private placements. Although securities which may be resold only to “qualified institutional buyers” in accordance with the provisions of Rule 144A under the 1933 Act are technically considered “restricted securities,” the Funds may purchase Rule 144A securities without regard to the limitation on investments in illiquid securities, provided that a determination is made that such securities have a readily available trading market. The Funds may also purchase certain commercial paper issued in reliance on the exemption from registration in Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act (“4(2) Paper”). The Adviser will determine the liquidity of Rule 144A securities and 4(2) Paper pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The liquidity of Rule 144A securities and 4(2) Paper will be monitored by the Adviser, and if as a result of changed conditions it is determined that a Rule 144A security or 4(2) Paper is no longer liquid, a Fund’s holdings of illiquid securities will be reviewed to determine what, if any, action is required to assure that the Fund does not exceed its percentage limitation for investments in illiquid securities.

 

Limitations on the resale of restricted securities may have an adverse effect on the marketability of portfolio securities and the Funds might be unable to dispose of restricted securities promptly or at reasonable prices and might thereby experience difficulty satisfying redemption requirements. The Funds might also have to register such restricted securities in order to dispose of them, resulting in additional expense and delay. Adverse market conditions could impede such a public offering of securities. As of December 31, 2008, each Fund held restricted securities.

 

Borrowings: The Funds may borrow, including through reverse repurchase agreements, to increase their portfolio holdings of securities in efforts to enhance performance (commonly referred to as “leverage”). Any borrowings for non-temporary purposes shall be from a bank. Such borrowings may be on a secured or unsecured basis at fixed or variable rates of interest. The 1940 Act requires the Funds to maintain continuous asset coverage of not less than 300% with respect to all borrowings, which means that a Fund may borrow up to 33 1/3% of its total assets. As of December 31, 2008, each Fund did not have any borrowings; however, the Utopia Core Fund had a cash overdraft balance held at the custodian.

 



 

Other: Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premiums, accretion of discounts and income earned on money market funds, is accrued and recorded daily. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on an identified cost basis. Expenses shared by the Funds are allocated among the Funds based on each Fund’s ratio of relative net assets to the combined net assets.

 

Use of Estimates:  The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  This 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 from operations during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Federal Income Taxes:  Each Fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains, if any, each year.  Each Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made.

 

Distributions to Shareholders:  Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually.  Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Funds on the ex-dividend date.

 

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes.  The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes.  Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by a Fund.

 

3.  UNREALIZED APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION ON INVESTMENTS

4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

The Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective October 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

 

Various inputs are used in determining 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 investments

 

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, 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 following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2008 in valuing the Fund’s assets:

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS No. 161”), which is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Each Fund is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statements.

 



 

Item 2 - Controls and Procedures.

 

(a)                                 The Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have evaluated the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) within 90 days of this filing and have concluded that the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective, as of that date.

 

(b)                                There was no change in the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) during Registrant’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Item 3 – Exhibits.

 

Separate certifications for the Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 30a-2(a) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, are attached as Ex99.Cert.
