 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  

The Frontier Equity Fund

  

1. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

  

At June 30, 2009 the net unrealized depreciation on investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes of $397,230 amounted to $313,847 which consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation of $9,638 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation of $323,485.

 
 
 
     

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

  

The  Fund  adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), effective January 1, 2008. In  accordance with  FAS 157,  fair value is defined as the price  that  the Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability  in  an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level  hierarchy  for fair value measurements based upon the transparency  of  inputs  to  the valuation of an asset or liability.  Inputs may be observable  or  unobservable  and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants  would  use  in pricing the asset or l iability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability  based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based  on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant  to  the  overall valuation. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized 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  inputs  or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of  the risk associated with investing in those securities. Money market securities are valued using amortized cost, in accordance with rules under  the  Investment Company Act of 1940. Generally, amortized cost approximates the current fair value of a security, but since the value is not obtained  from a quoted price in an active market, such securities are reflected as Level 2.

 
 
 
 
 
     

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund's investments by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of June 30, 2009:

ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.


(a)

EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. The Registrant maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Registrant's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Investment Company Act of 1940 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Such information is accumulated and communicated to the Registrant's management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Registrant's management, including the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, recognizes that any set of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only r easonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

Within 90 days prior to the filing date of this Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio Holdings on Form N-Q, the Registrant had carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Registrant's management, including the Registrant's principal executive officer and the Registrant's principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, the Registrant's principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Registrant's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

(b)

CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS. There have been no significant changes in the Registrant's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation in connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Schedule of Portfolio Holdings on Form N-Q.
