AMERICAFIRST QUANTITATIVE FUNDS


LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

 JUNE 30, 2018 (UNAUDITED)



Dear Shareholder:


Mixed results for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 as stocks (the S&P 500 Index) gained 14.37% but bonds (the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Index) lost 0.40%.  


The AmericaFirst Income Fund (as measured by Class I shares) gained 1.42% for the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2018 outpacing bonds by 1.82% .  The Fund continued to focus a higher allocation to Stock (all-cap) than their bond allocation.  The Stock allocation invests in high-dividend Common Stocks, Preferred Stocks, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) while the Bond allocation is represented by high-yield and emerging market bonds (in United States Dollar denominations).  The Fund consistently produced positive returns when high-grade bonds were depressed.


The AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund (as measured by Class I shares) lost 7.89% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.  The Fund’s underperformance versus the S&P 500 Index returns of 14.37% was largely the result of severe underperformance by its Utilities and Consumer Staples positions.  In addition, Growth stocks materially outperformed Value stocks resulting in further underperformance for this Defensive Value fund.


The AmericaFirst Quantitative Strategies Fund (as measured by Class I shares) earned 9.16% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.  The Fund is a compilation of several low-correlated AmericaFirst investment strategies and suffered its only loss in the first quarter of 2018.  For the second straight year, the Fund outperformed its category Morningstar Tactical Allocation Category.  However, the Fund lagged the S&P 500 Index as it is not an all-stock mutual fund.


The AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund (as measured by Class I shares) lost 0.08% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 due almost exclusively to an 8.88% loss in February, 2018.  The Fund continues to invest in investment-grade bonds from May through October and stocks from cyclical sectors November through April.


The AmericaFirst Tactical Alpha Fund (as measured by Class I shares) earned 10.51% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.  The Fund invests in a compilation of AmericaFirst investment strategies representing numerous asset classes, domiciles and sectors.  The Fund significantly outperformed its category Morningstar Tactical Allocation Category by a margin of 10.51% to 6.92%, but lagged the S&P 500 Index as it is not an all-stock mutual fund and can invest in a wide variety of asset classes.


The AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund continued its strong performance by earning 13.30% for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018.  The Fund outpaced its Morningstar Benchmark Large Cap Core Category by a margin of 13.30% to 12.80%, but lagged the S&P 500 Index due to its value component.  The Fund invests in large and blue chip companies that have participated in share repurchase programs during the last twelve months of investment.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (CONTINUED)

 JUNE 30, 2018 (UNAUDITED)



Mutual Fund investing involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. Other risks of the various Funds include but are not limited to the following risks, which are more fully described in the prospectus: investing in stocks of small and mid-capitalization companies generally are less liquid than those of larger companies. Investing in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) are generally considered interest-rate sensitive investments. During periods of interest rate volatility, these investments may not provide attractive returns. Many MLPs are focused on energy-related business and are subject to energy sector risks, such as decline in the price of petroleum. Investing in high-yield, high-risk securities, commonly called “junk bonds,” are considered speculative. While generally providing greater income than investments in higher-quality securities, these lower-quality securities will involve greater risk of principal and income that higher-quality securities. Investing in foreign markets can be more volatile than the U.S. market due to increased risks of adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market, or economic developments and can perform differently from the U.S. market. The value of foreign securities is also affected by the value of the local currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Credit risk includes a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by the Fund, resulting in losses to the Fund. Diversification does not ensure profit or prevent losses.

 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFCANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds (the “Trust) was reorganized as a Delaware statutory trust on January 4, 2013. Prior to January 4, 2013, the series of the Trust, other than AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund and AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, were each a part of the Mutual Fund Series Trust, an Ohio business trust organized on February 27, 2006. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust currently consists of six series: AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund, AmericaFirst LargeCap Share Buyback Fund, AmericaFirst Quantitative Strategies Fund, AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund (formerly AmericaFirst Seasonal Trends Fund), AmericaFirst Tactical Alpha Fund (formerly AmericaFirst Absolute Return Fund), AmericaFirst Income Fund (formerly AmericaFirst Income Trends Fund), and (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are registered as diversified series of the Trust, except the Large Cap Share Buyback Fund which is non-diversified. The investment objectives of each Fund are set forth below. AmericaFirst Capital Management, LLC (the “Manager”) is investment advisor to the Funds.

 

AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund (“Defensive Growth Fund”) commenced operations on May 23, 2011. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation through all market cycles.


AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund (“Large Cap Share Buyback Fund”) commenced operations on January 31, 2017. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide growth of capital.


AmericaFirst Quantitative Strategies Fund (Quantitative Strategies Fund”) commenced operations on September 28, 2007. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation and to achieve positive returns through all market cycles.


AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund (“Seasonal Rotation Fund”) commenced operations on October 31, 2013. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation with a focus on producing positive returns regardless of the direction of the financial markets.

 

AmericaFirst Tactical Alpha Fund (“Tactical Alpha Fund”) commenced operations on February 26, 2010. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation with a focus on producing positive returns regardless of the direction of financial markets.

 

AmericaFirst Income Fund (“Income Fund”) commenced operations on July 1, 2010. The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a high rate of current income with less volatility than common stocks as measured by standard deviation. The Fund seeks total return as a secondary investment objective.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2018



The Defensive Growth Fund, Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, Seasonal Rotation Fund, Tactical Alpha Fund, and Income Fund, each offer three classes of shares, Class A, Class I, and Class U. The Quantitative Strategies Fund offers three classes of shares, Class A, Class C, and Class I. Each class differs as to sales and redemption charges and ongoing fees.

 

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds and are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies.”

 

a)       Securities Valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the primary exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost. The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds (the “underlying funds”). Open-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The underlying funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the Boards of the underlying funds. The shares of many closed-end investment companies and exchange traded funds, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company or exchange traded fund purchased by the Funds will not change.

 

In unusual circumstances, instead of valuing securities in the usual manner, the Funds may value securities at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Funds’ Board of Trustees, pursuant to the procedures (the “Procedures”) approved by the Board. The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security. Fair value may also be used by the Board if extraordinary events occur after the close of the relevant world market but prior to the NYSE close (generally 4:00 pm eastern time).



108


AMERICAFIRST QUANTITATIVE FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2018



Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds. ETFs are typically a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and typically represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The Funds may purchase an ETF to temporarily gain exposure to a portion of the U.S. or a foreign market while awaiting purchase of underlying securities. There are risks of owning the underlying securities the ETFs are designed to track, and the lack of liquidity of an ETF may result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.


Bitcoin - The Quantitative Strategies Fund, Defensive Growth Fund, and Tactical Alpha Fund invested in a Delaware statutory trust, Bitcoin Investment Trust (“Bitcoin Trust”) that invests in bitcoins during the year ended June 30, 2018.  


From time to time, the Bitcoin Trust issues creation units in exchange for bitcoins and distributes bitcoins in exchange for redemption units. The performance of the Bitcoin Trust is intended to reflect changes in the value of the Bitcoin Trust’s bitcoin investments.


Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that enables instant transfers to anyone, anywhere in the world. Managing transactions in bitcoins occurs via an open source, cryptographic protocol central authority. The Bitcoin Network is an online, end-user-to-end-user network that hosts the public transaction ledger, known as the Blockchain, and the source code that comprises the basis for the cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the Bitcoin Network. No single entity owns or operates the Bitcoin Network, the infrastructure of which is collectively maintained by a decentralized user base. As the Bitcoin Network is decentralized, it does not rely on either governmental authorities or financial institutions to create, transmit or determine the value of bitcoins. Rather, the value of bitcoins is determined by the supply of and demand for bitcoins in the global bitcoin exchange market for the trading of bitcoins, which consists of transactions on electronic bitcoin exchanges (“Bitcoin Exchanges”). The price of bitcoins is set in transfers by mutual agreement or barter as well as the number of merchants that accept bitcoins. Because bitcoins are digital files that can be transferred without the involvement of intermediaries or third parties, there are little or no transaction costs in direct end-user-to-end-user transactions. Bitcoins can be used to pay for goods and services or can be converted to fiat currencies, such as the U.S. dollar, at rates determined by the Bitcoin Exchanges. Additionally, third party service providers such as Bitcoin Exchanges are also used for transfers but they may charge significant fees for processing transactions.  Distributions received and gains from selling shares of Bitcoin Trust are deemed to be forms of non-qualifying income under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code.  As of June 30, 2018, none of the Funds held an investment in Bitcoin Trust.

 

Each Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 



109


AMERICAFIRST QUANTITATIVE FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2018



Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.


Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables summarize the inputs used as of June 30, 2018 for each Fund’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value:

AMR Corporation – The Fund uses a cash flow forecast and valuation model, approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“the Board”), to value AMR Corp.  The model focuses on forecasting the disposition of pending creditor claims related to the bankruptcy estate of AMR Corp. as well as the timing of such disposition.  The model incorporates numerous observable factors such as amount of unresolved bankruptcy claims, the current share price of America Airlines Group, Inc. (America Airlines Group, Inc. shares are used to pay settled bankruptcy claims), and yields on debt of various maturities.  The model also includes a number of unobservable factors and assumptions, such as percent of bankruptcy claims deemed to be meritorious, time to disposition, and appropriate discount factor to apply to projected payments to AMR Corp. owners upon ultimate resolution of pending bankruptcy claims.  Using assumptions in this manner is a part of the Fund’s valuation policy and procedures and provides consistency in the application of valuation assumptions.


 The following table provides quantitative information about the Fund’s Level 3 values, as well as its inputs, as of June 30, 2018. The table is not all-inclusive, but provides information on the significant Level 3 inputs.

$16,039, and $10,693 for the Defensive Growth Fund, Quantitative Strategies Fund, and Tactical Alpha Fund, respectively.

On April 9, 2018, the Defensive Growth Fund purchased a security from Moneta Ventures Fund II in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, originally in the amount of $271,517.  As such, the shares are subject to restrictions such as transferability and market quotations that are not readily available for the purpose of valuing this portfolio holding.


On March 26, 2018, the Quantitative Strategies Fund purchased a security from Moneta Ventures Fund II in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, originally in the amount of $203,638.  As such, the shares are subject to restrictions such as transferability and market quotations that are not readily available for the purpose of valuing this portfolio holding.


On March 26, 2018, the Tactical Alpha Fund purchased a security from Moneta Ventures Fund II in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, originally in the amount of $135,758.  As such, the shares are subject to restrictions such as transferability and market quotations that are not readily available for the purpose of valuing this portfolio holding.  


As of June 30, 2018, the Board valued the shares of Moneta Ventures Fund II having taken into consideration certain pertinent factors.  Because there are no market quotations for this security, it is possible that the valuation assigned by the Board may differ significantly from the amount that might be ultimately realized in near term and the difference could be material.


As of June 30, 2018, the percentage of the Defensive Growth Fund’s total net assets represented by illiquid securities was 2.66%, the percentage of the Quantitative Strategies Fund’s total net assets represented by illiquid securities was 2.43%, and the percentage of the Tactical Alpha Fund’s total net assets represented by illiquid securities was 2.01%. No Fund may invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.


The Funds had no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the year ended June 30, 2018. It is the Funds’ policy to record transfers into or out of Level 1 and Level 2 at the end of the reporting period.

 

b)       Short Sales A “short sale” is a transaction in which a Fund sells a security it does not own, but has borrowed in anticipation that the market price of that security will decline. A Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it on the open market at a later date. If the price of the security sold short increases between the time of the short sale and the time a Fund replaces the borrowed security, the Fund will incur a loss, unlimited in size. Conversely, if the price declines, the Fund will realize a gain, limited to the price at which a fund sold the security short.

c)       Federal Income Tax – The Funds intend to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute all of their taxable income, if any, to shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions on returns filed for open tax years (2015-2017) or expected to be taken in the Funds’ 2018 tax returns. The Funds identified their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

 

d)       Distribution to Shareholders - Distributions from investment income and net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The character of income and gains to be distributed is determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses, mark-to-market on open Section 1256 contracts) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

 

e)       Other – Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Cost is determined and gains and losses are based upon the specific identification method for both financial statement and Federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 

f)       Multiple Class Allocations – Income, non-class specific expenses and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on average net assets. Distribution fees are charged to each respective share class in accordance with the distribution plan. Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the Funds in the Trust.

 

g)       Foreign Currency – The accounting records of each Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign



116


AMERICAFIRST QUANTITATIVE FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2018



currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities.

 

h)       Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


i)       Commitments and Contingencies – In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.


j)

ETF and ETN Investments - ETF, Mutual Fund and Exchange Traded Note (“ETN”) Risk – ETFs, mutual funds and ETNs are subject to investment advisory or management and other expenses, which will be indirectly paid by each Fund. Each is subject to specific risks, depending on investment strategy. Also, each may be subject to leverage risk, which will magnify losses. ETNs are subject to default risks.


k)

Distributions from Bitcoin Trust of Bitcoin Gold and Bitcoin Segwit2X – On November 22, 2017 and December 29, 2017, Grayscale Investments, LLC the sponsor of the Bitcoin Trust (the “Sponsor”) announced intended distributions of a portion of the rights to Bitcoin Gold (BTG) coins (or units) that were held in the Trust as a result of a fork on October 24, 2017 and December 28, 2017 in the Bitcoin blockchain for shareholders of record on December 4, 2017 and January 8, 2018, respectively.  Each Fund was entitled to 0.09217291 and 0.09183251, respectively, units of BTG per each Bitcoin Trust share held on the record dates.  The Quantitative Strategies Fund owned 230 shares of Bitcoin Trust as of the record date, amounting to 21.20 units of BTG, amounting to a distribution of $1,182; and the Tactical Alpha Fund owned 65 shares of Bitcoin Trust as of the record date, amounting to 5.99 units of BTG, amounting to a distribution of $334 for the year ended June 30, 2018.  The income from BTG is reflected in “Other Income” on the Statement of Operations.


l)     Restricted securities are generally acquired directly or indirectly from an issuer in a nonpublic offering. Because restricted securities are generally subject to restrictions on transfer, market quotations for such securities are generally not readily available, and



117


AMERICAFIRST QUANTITATIVE FUNDS


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2018



they are considered to be illiquid securities.  The Board of Trustees (“Board”) has adopted Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures that, among other things, provide guidelines for the valuation of portfolio securities for which market quotations are not readily available (“Valuation Procedures”). The Valuation Procedures delegate the responsibility for determining the fair value of securities for which market quotations are not readily available to a Valuation Committee, subject to review and oversight by the Board of Trustees (“Board”).  Under circumstances where the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by a pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value, such securities are also valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, subject to review and oversight by Board of Trustees.  Restricted securities are categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation), undistributed net investment income/loss and accumulated net realized gains/ (losses) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and straddles, and adjustments for real estate investment trusts, partnerships, grantor trusts and constructive sales of securities held short. In addition, the amount listed under other book/tax differences is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on straddles and adjustments for constructive sales of securities held short.

 

Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows:

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Trustees of AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds

and the Shareholders of AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund, AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, AmericaFirst Quantitative Strategies Fund, AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund, AmericaFirst Tactical Alpha Fund, and AmericaFirst Income Fund

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements


We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of AmericaFirst Defensive Growth Fund, AmericaFirst Large Cap Share Buyback Fund, AmericaFirst Quantitative Strategies Fund, AmericaFirst Seasonal Rotation Fund, AmericaFirst Tactical Alpha Fund, and AmericaFirst Income Fund, each a series of shares of beneficial interest in AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds (the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of June 30, 2018, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years or period in the two-year period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the respective years or periods presented, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of June 30, 2018, and the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or period in the two-year period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the respective years or periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion


These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.




125


[americancsr201810014.jpg]


Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of those financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, and an other appropriate party. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION

JUNE 30, 2018 (UNAUDITED)



As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, and redemption fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. The example below 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 below is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period January 1, 2018 and held for the entire period through June 30, 2018.

 

Actual Expenses

 

The first section of each table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period/year.

 

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

 

The second section of each table provides information about the 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 the other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table 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. For more information on transactional costs, please refer to the Fund’s prospectus.

ADVISORY AGREEMENT RENEWAL


At an in person meeting held on September 28, 2017, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) including the Trustees who are not “interested persons”, as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the renewal of an investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the AmericaFirst Quantitative Funds (the “Trust” or “AFQF”) and AmericaFirst Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser” or “AFCM”), with respect to the Funds in the Trust. In its consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summarizes matters considered.


Nature, Extent and Quality of Services.  The Board examined the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser to the Funds.  The Trustees reviewed materials provided by the Adviser related to the Advisory Agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Funds, a description of the manner in which investment decisions are to be made and executed, the Adviser’s Form ADV Parts I and II, a profitability analysis and current and projected assessments of financial condition, an overview of the personnel that will perform services for the Funds, the compliance policies and procedures of the Adviser, including a certification that the Adviser has adopted a Code of Ethics containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons, as that

term is defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, from engaging in conduct prohibited by Rule 17j-1(b), historical and comparative performance information, and other policies and procedures of the Adviser.  The Trustees considered a presentation given by the Adviser regarding the Funds’ investment strategy, and considered their past experience with the Adviser as adviser to the funds in the Trust.  The Trustees discussed the nature of the Adviser’s operations, the quality of the Adviser’s compliance infrastructure, and both the experience of and recent changes to its fund management personnel. The Trustees discussed that while the Adviser no longer receives compliance exception notification from Gemini Fund Services, LLC, the Trust’s prior administrator, the Adviser had recently begun receiving similar notifications from Mutual Shareholder Services, LLC.  AFCM and AFQF jointly participate in a $2 million E&O policy with a $50,000 deductible.  After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the Adviser has sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided by the Adviser would likely meet the Board’s expectations.


Performance.  Next, the Board compared the performance of each Fund against its respective benchmark and peer group over the 1, 3, 5, and since inception periods, as applicable.  

The Quantitative Strategies Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for all time periods shown, and underperformed the Peer Group, Lipper Alt Multi-Strategy, for three year period, but outperformed the peer group for the once year period.  


The Tactical Alpha Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for all the time periods shown, and underperformed the Peer Group, Lipper Absolute Return, for the one year period. The Tactical Alpha Fund outperformed the peer group for the three year, five year, and since inception periods.  


The Income Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, for the one year period, and outperformed the Peer Group, Lipper Flexible Income, for the one year period.  The Income Fund underperformed its benchmark and peer group for all other periods.


The Defensive Growth Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for all the time periods shown, and the Peer Group, Lipper Long Short Equity, for the one year, three year, and five year periods. The Defensive Growth Fund outperformed the peer group for the since inception period.  


The Seasonal Rotation Fund outperformed its benchmark, the DJ Moderate US Portfolio Index, for the one year period and since inception period, and outperformed the Peer Group, Lipper Absolute Return for the one year, three year, and since inception periods.  


The Large Cap Share Buyback Fund underperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, for the since inception period, and the Peer Group, Lipper Large Cap Core.  



137


AMERICAFIRST QUANTITATIVE FUNDS


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

JUNE 30, 2018 (UNAUDITED)



The Board deemed the performance of each Fund satisfactory.  


Fees and Expenses.  The Trustees reviewed information regarding comparative fees charged by the Adviser to fees charged by advisers to a peer group of funds.  The Board noted that the advisory fee for the Quantitative Strategies Fund was below the average for the peer group and that for each of the other Funds, the advisory fee was above the average advisory fee but within the range of advisory fees charged by the respective peer group. They also noted that the Defensive Growth Fund and the Buyback Fund each had net expense ratios that were below the average for their respective peer groups and that each of the other Funds had expense ratios that were above the average but within the range of net expense ratios for the respective peer group.


The Trustees considered that the level of sophistication to be utilized by the Adviser in executing its investment strategies and concluded that the proposed contractual advisory fee to be paid to the Adviser was not unreasonable in light of the quality of the services expected to be received from the Adviser.  It was also noted that the Adviser continues to waive expenses for each Fund.  The Trustees noted that their conclusions with respect to the reasonableness of the advisory fee were based on their knowledge of the Adviser and the Adviser’s representation that the comparative fee data was unlikely to have materially changed since last year and subject to their review of updated comparative fee information at the next Meeting.


Economies of Scale.  The Board considered whether there will be economies of scale in respect of the management of the Funds.  The Board considered the Adviser’s expectation for growth and the current level of assets of each Fund, and agreed that the absence of breakpoints was acceptable at this time.  However, the Board noted they would revisit the matter as assets in the Funds’ grow.    


Profitability.  The Trustees considered the Adviser’s historic profitability and whether these profits are reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds and in light of the Fund’s projected growth. The Trustees reviewed a per-Fund profitability analysis provided by the Adviser.  The Trustees noted that the fees are reasonable and not excessively profitable to the Adviser as the gross margins are reasonable and net margins, taking into account the totality of the relationship with each Fund are lower than gross margins. The Trustees concluded that based on current and projected asset levels, that they were satisfied that the Adviser’s level of profitability from its relationship with each of the Funds is not excessive..


Conclusion.  During the Board’s deliberations, it was noted that the Board did not identify any single piece of information that was all-important or controlling with respect to the Advisory Agreement for each Fund.  Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the Advisory Agreement on behalf of each Fund.
