Notes to Financial Statements | James Advantage Funds |
The Funds recognize transfer between levels as of the end of period. For the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Funds did not have any transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 securities.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Gains and losses are determined using the specific identification method, which liquidates all losses first, before any gains. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds will instruct its custodian to segregate assets in a separate account with a current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2016, the Funds did not hold when-issued securities or delayed delivery purchase commitments.
Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate, provided by WM Reuters, at the close of each business day. Purchases and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars based at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized and between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from the changes in the value of assets and liabilities including investments in securities at the reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. The portion of realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments due fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed and is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments, when applicable.
Short Sales and Segregated Cash
The James Long-Short Fund may actively sell short equity and fixed income securities. Short sales are transactions in which the Fund sells a security it does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. To complete such a transaction, the Fund must borrow the security to deliver to the buyer upon the short sale; the Fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it in the open market at some later date.
The Fund will incur a loss if the market price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The Fund will realize a gain if the security declines in value between those dates. The Fund is required to pay any dividend or interest due on securities sold short. Such dividends and interest are recorded as an expense. The Fund may pay fees or charges on the assets borrowed for securities sold short.
All short sales are collateralized, as required by the Fund’s prime broker. The Fund maintains the collateral in segregated accounts consisting of cash and/or equity securities sufficient to collateralize the market value of the Fund’s short positions.
Investment Income
Dividend income and dividend expense on long securities and securities sold short are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is determined on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts on all debt securities. Amortization and accretion is calculated using the effective yield method.
Dividend income includes dividends earned on Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), which may include a return of capital. As such, important taxation issues may arise, which the Funds account for when information is provided by the issuing REIT.
Due to the actual character of dividends paid by REITs not being available until the end of the calendar year, the net investment income and long-term capital gains of the Funds can be different on the tax return compared to this annual report. Substantial unanticipated levels of return of capital may affect the Funds’ earnings and profits from which distributions are made.
Distributions received from Limited Partnership investments of a Fund are usually recorded as a return of capital and are excluded from available income in the calculation of distributions paid by the Funds. Return of capital is recorded as a reduction to the cost of investments in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and in the Schedule of Investments.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
Net investment income, if any, is generally declared and distributed to shareholders of each Fund on at least an annual basis. Net realized capital gains from security transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to shareholders of net investment income and net realized capital gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
Allocation of Income and Expense
Investment income earned, realized capital gains and losses, and unrealized appreciation and depreciation for the James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Class-specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. Common expenses, which are not attributable to a specific class, are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon its proportionate share of total net assets of the Fund. Expenses not directly billed to a particular Fund are allocated proportionally among all Funds daily in relation to net assets of each Fund or another reasonable measure.

James Advantage Funds | Notes to Financial Statements |
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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds generally intend to distribute all taxable income and capital gains to shareholders, if any, and to otherwise continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal tax provision is required.
As of and during the six months ended December 31, 2016, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds file U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return for federal purposes and four years for most state returns. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.
As of December 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
James Balanced: Golden Rainbow Fund | James Small Cap Fund | James Mid Cap Fund | James Micro Cap Fund | James Aggressive Allocation Fund | James Long-Short Fund | |||||||||||||||||||

The difference between the cost of portfolio investments on a tax basis and financial statement cost for the Funds is due primarily to the deferral of wash sale losses and to the differing treatment of certain investments under income tax regulations and GAAP.
The tax character of distributions paid for the year ended June 30, 2016 was as follows:
