1. SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization:
Third Avenue Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end, management investment company organized as a Delaware business trust pursuant to a Trust Instrument dated October 31, 1996. The Trust currently consists of five non-diversified (within the meaning of Section 5(b)(2) of the Investment Company Act), separate investment series: Third Avenue Value Fund, Third Avenue Small-Cap Value Fund, Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund, Third Avenue International Value Fund and Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”). Third Avenue Management LLC (the “Adviser”) provides investment advisory services to each of the Funds in the Trust. The Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by adhering to a strict value discipline when selecting securities and other instruments. Each Fund has a distinct investment approach.
Accounting policies:
The policies described below are followed consistently by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Trust is an investment company and, accordingly, follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) Topic 946-Investment Companies, which is part of U.S. GAAP.
Security valuation:
Generally, the Funds’ investments are valued at market value. Securities traded on a principal stock exchange, including The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”), are valued at the last quoted sales price, the NASDAQ official closing price, or in the absence of closing sales prices on that day, securities are valued at the mean between the closing bid and asked price. In accordance with procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), the Funds have retained a third party provider that, under certain circumstances, applies a statistical model to provide fair value pricing for foreign equity securities with principal markets that are no longer open when a Fund calculates its net asset value (“NAV”), and certain events have occurred after the principal markets have closed but prior to the time as of which the Funds compute their NAVs. Debt instruments with maturities greater than 60 days, including floating rate loan securities, are valued on the basis of prices obtained from a pricing service approved as reliable by the Board or otherwise pursuant to policies and procedures approved by the Board. Investments in derivative instruments are valued independently by service providers or by broker quotes based on pricing models. Short-term cash investments are valued at cost, plus accrued interest, which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with 60 days or less to maturity may be valued at amortized cost.
The Adviser has established a Valuation Committee (the “Committee”) which is responsible for overseeing the pricing and valuation of all securities held in the Funds. The Committee operates under pricing and valuation policies and procedures established by the Adviser and approved by the Board, including pricing policies which set forth the mechanisms and processes to be employed on a daily basis to implement these policies and procedures. In particular, the pricing policies describe how to determine market quotations for securities and other instruments. The Committee’s responsibilities include: 1) fair value and liquidity determinations (and oversight of any third parties to whom any responsibility for fair value and liquidity determinations is delegated), and 2) regular monitoring of the Adviser’s pricing and valuation policies and procedures and modification or enhancement of these policies and procedures (or recommendation of the modification of these policies and procedures) as the Committee believes appropriate.
Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its total net assets in securities which are not readily marketable. Securities that are not readily marketable are generally those that cannot be sold or disposed of within seven days, which usually occurs because of legal or contractual restrictions or the absence of a market for such securities in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at “fair value”, as determined in good faith by the Committee as authorized by the Board, under procedures established by the Board. At January 31, 2016, such securities had a total fair value of $14,010,211 or 1.12% of net assets of Third Avenue Value Fund, $28,207,459 or 1.19% of net assets of Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund, and $206,394,191 or 33.37% of net assets of Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund. There were no fair valued securities for Third Avenue Small-Cap Value Fund and Third Avenue International Value Fund at January 31, 2016. Among the factors that may be considered by the Committee in determining fair value are: prior trades in the security in question, trades in similar securities of the same or other issuers, the type of security, trading in marketable securities of the same issuer, the financial condition of the issuer, comparable multiples of similar issuers, the operating results of the issuer and liquidation value of the issuer. See Fair Value Measurements below for additional detail on fair value measurements for financial reporting purposes. The fair values determined in accordance with these procedures may differ significantly from the amounts which would be realized upon disposition of the securities. The recent high yield and distressed credit market instability has made it more difficult to obtain market quotations on certain securities owned by Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund.

Fair value measurements:
In accordance with FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, the Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to valuations based upon unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to valuations based upon unobservable inputs that are significant to the valuation (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
• Level 1 – Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date; | |
• Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including inputs in markets that are not considered to be active; | |
• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. However, the determination of what constitutes “observable” requires significant judgment by the Funds. The Funds consider observable data to be market data which is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market. The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.
The Funds use valuation techniques to measure fair value that are consistent with the market approach and/or income approach, depending on the type of security and the particular circumstance. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable securities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to discount estimated future cash flows to present value.
The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Equity Securities (Common Stocks, Preferred Stocks, and Warrants)—Equity securities traded in inactive markets and certain foreign equity securities are valued using inputs which include broker-dealer quotes, recently executed transactions adjusted for changes in the benchmark index, or evaluated price quotes received from independent pricing services or brokers that take into account the integrity of the market sector and issuer, the individual characteristics of the security, and information received from broker-dealers and other market sources pertaining to the issuer or security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of equity securities are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
U.S. Government Obligations—U.S. Government obligations are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that evaluate the mean between the most recently quoted bid and ask price. The models also take into consideration data received from active market makers and broker-dealers, yield curves, and the spread over comparable U.S. Government issues. The spreads change daily in response to market conditions and are generally obtained from the new issue market and broker-dealer sources. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of U.S. Government obligations are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
Corporate Bonds & Notes—Corporate bonds and notes are generally comprised of two main categories: investment grade bonds and high yield bonds. Investment grade bonds are valued by independent pricing services or brokers using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. High yield bonds are valued by independent pricing services or brokers based primarily on broker-dealer quotations from relevant market makers and recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of corporate bonds and notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts—Forward foreign currency contracts are valued by independent pricing services using various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, actual trading information and foreign currency exchange rates gathered from leading market makers and foreign currency exchange trading centers throughout the world. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of forward foreign currency contracts are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
Term Loans—Term loans are valued by independent pricing services based on the average of evaluated quoted prices received from multiple dealers or valued relative to other benchmark securities when broker-dealer quotes are unavailable. Inputs may include quoted prices for similar investments in active markets, interest rates, coupon rates, yield curves, option adjusted spreads, default rates, credit spreads and other unique security features in order to estimate the relevant cash flows which is then discounted to calculate fair values. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of term loans are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
Municipal Bonds—Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-ask lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of municipal bonds are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
Options (Written and Purchased)—Options are valued by independent pricing services or by brokers based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, foreign exchange rate, time until expiration, and volatility of the underlying foreign currency security. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of options are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.

# | Valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used by third-party pricing vendors or brokers, which are described in Note 1, were not provided to the Adviser. The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is based on results of back testing, broker due diligence, unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events. |
(a) | Represents amounts used when the reporting entity has determined that market participants would take into account premiums and discounts, as applicable, when pricing the investments. |
(b) | Includes securities less than 0.50% of net assets within each respective Fund. |
* | Amount less than $0.01. |
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Funds’ investments are listed above. Generally, a change in the assumptions used in any input in isolation may be accompanied by a change in another input. Significant changes in any of the unobservable inputs may significantly impact the fair value measurement. The impact is based on the relationship between each unobservable input and the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in enterprise multiples may increase (decrease) the fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount for marketability may decrease (increase) the fair value measurement. |
Security transactions and investment income:
Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.
Foreign currency translation and foreign investments:
The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars as follows:
• | Investments and assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies: At the prevailing rates of exchange on the valuation date. | |
• | Investment transactions: At the prevailing rates of exchange on the date of such transactions. |
Payment-in-kind securities:
The Funds may invest in payment-in-kind securities (“PIKs”). PIKs give the issuer the option at each interest payment date of making interest payments in either cash or additional debt securities. Those additional debt securities usually have the same terms, including maturity dates and interest rates, and associated risks as the original bonds. The daily market quotations of the original bonds may include the accrued interest (referred to as a “dirty” price) and require a pro-rata adjustment from the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments to interest receivable.
Term loans:
The Funds typically invest in loans which are structured and administered by a third party entity (the “Agent”) that acts on behalf of a group of lenders that make or hold interests in the loan. These securities generally pay interest at rates which are periodically pre-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate.

These securities are generally considered to be restricted, as the Funds are ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of term loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. The interest rate disclosed reflects the rate in effect on January 31, 2016.
Forward foreign exchange contracts:
The Funds may be exposed to foreign currency risks associated with portfolio investments and therefore may use forward foreign currency contracts to hedge or manage these exposures. The Funds also may buy forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the forward rate and are marked-to-market daily. The change in market value is included in unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investments and foreign currency translations. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The use of forward foreign currency contracts does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the Funds’ portfolio securities, but it does establish a rate of exchange that can be achieved in the future. Although forward foreign currency contracts limit the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also limit any potential gain that might result should the value of the currency increase. In addition, the Funds could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts.
During the period ended January 31, 2016, Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund and Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund used forward foreign currency contracts for hedging against foreign currency risks.
Option contracts:
The Funds may purchase and sell (“write”) put and call options on various instruments including investments, indices, and foreign currency to manage and hedge exchange rate risks within their portfolios and also to gain long or short exposure to the underlying instruments.
An option contract gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying item at a fixed exercise price on a certain date or during a specified period. The cost of the underlying instruments acquired through the exercise of a call option is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from the underlying instruments sold through the exercise of a purchased put option are decreased by the premiums paid. Investments in over-the-counter option contracts require the Funds to fair value or mark-to market the options on a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the contracts at the close of each day’s trading. The cost of purchased options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds, on expiration date, as realized losses on investments or foreign currency transactions.
When the Funds write an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Funds is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Funds, on the expiration date, as realized gains on written options or foreign currency. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security or currency in determining whether the Funds have a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased by the Funds. In purchasing and writing options, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the underlying security or the risk that the Funds may not be able to enter into a closing transaction due to an illiquid market. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing a security or currency at a price different from the current market value. The Funds may execute transactions in both listed and over-the-counter options. Listed options involve minimal counterparty risk since listed options are guaranteed against default by the exchange on which they trade. When purchasing over-the-counter options, the Funds bear the risk of economic loss from counterparty default, equal to the market value of the option.
During the period ended January 31, 2016, Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund used purchased options on foreign currency for hedging purposes and/or to protect against losses in foreign currencies.
During the period ended January 31, 2016, Third Avenue Value Fund used written call options on equities to enhance the yield of the Fund. Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund used written call options on foreign currency for hedging purposes. As of January 31, 2016, the Third Avenue Value Fund and Third Avenue Real Estate Value Fund no longer held any written call options.

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
At January 31, 2016, Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund had the following commitments and contingencies.
Amount of | Funded | Value of | ||||||
Issuer | Type | Commitment | Commitment | Segregated Cash | ||||
Longview Power LLC | Revolver | $1,250,000 | $500,000 | $750,000 |
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund is a plaintiff in two separate litigations each pertaining to counterparties not performing their contractual obligations. The Fund is seeking damages from both counterparties.
Third Avenue Focused Credit Fund is a defendant in an action initiated by the issuer of bonds currently held by the Fund pertaining to the validity of a notice of default sent to the issuer. The Fund expects the risk of any loss from this action to be remote.
