An investment in the Funds is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. The risks associated with the Funds are detailed in the prospectus which include: market risk, index risk, index tracking risk, concentration risk, and non-diversification risk. Sector funds tend to be riskier and more volatile than the broad market because they are less diversified. Investing in mid and small capitalization companies may be more volatile than those of larger companies. Concentrated fund investments will subject the fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business and other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors. See prospectus for specified risks factors regarding each sector.

Focus Morningstar US Market Index ETF (Ticker: FMU)

The Focus Morningstar US Market Index Fund ETF seeks to provide investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, generally to the price and yield performance of the Morningstar US Market Index (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index measures the performance of United States (“US”), publicly traded companies as determined by Morningstar Inc.’s (“Morningstar”) proprietary index methodology. The Underlying Index measures the performance of 1,568 stocks issued by large-, mid-, and small-capitalization companies that are domiciled or principally traded in the US. The Morningstar index methodology defines the “US Market” as those stocks that form the top 97% of the market capitalization of the stocks eligible to be included in the Underlying Index. The Fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the Underlying Index and may, from time to time, engage in a representative sampling strategy. Due to the use of representative sampling, the fund may or may not hold all of the securities in the index.

Focus Morningstar Real Estate Index ETF (Ticker: FRL)

The Focus Morningstar Real Estate Index ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to provide investment results that correspond, before fees and expenses, generally to the price and yield performance of the Morningstar Real Estate Index (the “Underlying index”). The Underlying Index is a subset of the Morningstar US Market Index and consists of mortgage companies, property management companies and REITs. The Morningstar Real Estate Index is determined on the basis of capital value of component securities that are publicly held, which typifies a “float adjusted” capitalization index and a subset of the Morningstar US Market Index (a diversified broad market index that represents approximately 97% of the market capitalization of publicly-traded companies that are domiciled or principally traded in the United States). The Underlying Index consists of mortgage companies, property management companies and REITs that meet specific criteria developed by Morningstar Inc. (“Morningstar”) based on the standard industrial classification (“SIC”) codes attributable to the industries covered by the Underlying Index.

FocusShares Trust Notes to Financial Highlights:

(a) Per share net investment income (loss) has been calculated using the average daily shares method.
(b) Not annualized for periods less than one year.
(c) Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, and redemption on the last day of the period at net asset value. This percentage is not an indication of the performance of a shareholder’s investment in the Fund based on market value due to differences between the market price of the shares and the net asset value per share of the Fund.
(d) Market value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market value at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all dividends and distributions at net asset value during the period, if any, and redemption on the last day of the period at market value. Market value is determined by the official midpoint bid/ask from the NYSE Arca Exchange. Market value may be greater or less than net asset value, depending on the Fund’s closing price on the listing market.
(e) Annualized for periods less than one year.
(f) In-kind transactions are not included in the portfolio turnover calculations.

FocusShares Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
 

1. Organization

FocusShares Trust (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), currently consisting of fifteen (15) investment portfolios (each, a “Fund”). FocusShares, LLC (the “Advisor”) is the investment adviser to each Fund. Each of the Focus Morningstar US Market Index ETF, Focus Morningstar Large Cap Index ETF, Focus Morningstar Mid Cap Index ETF and Focus Morningstar Small Cap Index ETF is a diversified investment company. Each other Fund is a non-diversified investment company. The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 10, 2007. From November 28, 2007 until October 30, 2008, the Trust operated four exchange-traded funds that have been closed and liquidated.

The investment objective of each Fund is to provide investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of a specified benchmark index (each, an “Underlying Index”) representing publicly-traded equity securities of issuers in a particular broad market, market segment, market sector or group of industries.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by each Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. The actual results could differ from those estimates.

Investment Valuation

In calculating net asset value (“NAV”), each Fund’s investments are valued using market quotations when available. When market quotations are not readily available, are deemed unreliable or do not reflect material events occurring between the close of local markets and the time of valuation, investments are valued using “fair value pricing” as determined in good faith under Pricing and Valuation Guidelines established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Investments that may be valued using fair value pricing include, but are not limited to: (1) securities that are not actively traded, including “restricted” securities and securities received in private placements for which there is no public market; (2) securities of an issuer that becomes bankrupt or enters into a restructuring; (3) securities whose trading has been halted or suspended; and (4) foreign securities traded on exchanges that close before a Fund’s NAV is calculated.

The frequency with which each Fund’s investments are valued using fair value pricing is primarily a function of the types of securities and other assets in which the respective Fund invests pursuant to its investment objective, strategies and limitations. If the Funds invest in other open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, they may rely on the net asset values of those companies to value the shares they hold of them. Those companies may also use fair value pricing under some circumstances.

Valuing the Funds’ investments using fair value pricing results in using prices for those investments that may differ from current market valuations. Accordingly, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate NAV and the prices used to determine a Fund’s Indicative Intra-Day Value (“IIV”), which could result in the market prices for shares deviating from NAV.

Short-term debt securities having a maturity date of more than sixty days at time of purchase are valued on a mark-to-market basis until sixty days prior to maturity and thereafter at amortized cost, which approximates fair market value, based on their value on the 61st day where such securities are of the highest credit quality. Amortized cost shall not be used if the use of amortized cost would be inappropriate due to credit or other impairments of the issuer.

FocusShares Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
April 30, 2012 (Unaudited)
 

The Funds disclose the fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that distinguishes between: (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds (observable inputs) and (2) the Funds’ own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available under the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The three levels defined by the hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1  — valuation inputs consist of unadjusted quoted prices in an active market for identical securities;
Level 2  — valuation inputs consist of direct or indirect observable market data (including quoted prices for similar securities, evaluations of subsequent market evens, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); or
Level 3  — valuation inputs consist of unobservable data (including a Fund’s own assumptions).

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the valuations as of April 30, 2012, for each Fund based upon the three levels defined above:

Please refer to the Schedules of Portfolio Investments to view equity securities segregated by industry type. There were no significant transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 for the period ending April 30, 2012.

Investment Transactions and Related Income

Throughout the reporting period, investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are determined using the specific identification method by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Repurchase Agreements

The Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is an instrument under which the purchaser ( i.e. , a Fund) acquires the security and the seller agrees, at the time of the sale, to repurchase the security at a mutually agreed upon time and price, thereby determining the yield during the purchaser’s holding period. Repurchase agreements may be construed to be collateralized loans by the purchaser to the seller secured by the securities transferred to the purchaser. If a repurchase agreement is construed to be a collateralized loan, the underlying securities will not be considered to be owned by each Fund but only to constitute collateral for the seller’s obligation to pay the repurchase price, and, in the event of a default by the seller, each Fund may suffer time delays and incur costs or losses in connection with the disposition of the collateral.

Futures Contracts

The Funds may utilize futures contracts. Futures contracts generally provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified instrument, index or commodity at a specified future time and at a specified price. Stock index futures contracts are settled daily with a payment by one party to the other of a cash amount based on the difference between the level of the stock index specified in the contract from one day to the next. Futures contracts are standardized as to maturity date and underlying instrument and are traded on futures exchanges. The Funds may use futures contracts based on other indexes or combinations of indexes that the Advisor believes to be representative of each Fund’s respective Underlying Index.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Although futures contracts (other than cash settled futures contracts including most stock index futures contracts) by their terms call for actual delivery or acceptance of the underlying instrument or commodity, in most cases the contracts are closed out before the maturity date without the making or taking of delivery. Closing out an open futures position is done by taking an opposite position (“buying” a contract which has previously been “sold” or “selling” a contract previously “purchased”) in an identical contract to terminate the position. Brokerage commissions are incurred when a futures contract position is opened or closed.

Futures traders are required to make a good faith margin deposit in cash or government securities with a broker or custodian to initiate and maintain open positions in futures contracts. A margin deposit is intended to assure completion of the contract (delivery or acceptance of the underlying instrument or commodity or payment of the cash settlement amount) if it is not terminated prior to the specified delivery date. Brokers may establish deposit requirements which are higher than the exchange minimums. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on margin deposits which may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract being traded.

After a futures contract position is opened, the value of the contract is marked to market daily. If the futures contract price changes, to the extent that the margin on deposit does not satisfy margin requirements, payment of additional “variation” margin will be required.

Conversely, a change in the contract value may reduce the required margin, resulting in a repayment of excess margin to the contract holder. Variation margin payments are made to and from the futures broker for as long as the contract remains open. The Funds expect to earn interest income on their margin deposits.

The Funds may use futures contracts thereon, together with positions in cash and money market instruments, to simulate full investment in each Fund’s respective Underlying Index. Liquid futures contracts are not currently available for the Underlying Index of each Fund. Under such circumstances, the Advisor may seek to utilize other instruments that it believes to be correlated to each Fund’s respective Underlying Index components or a subset of the components.

Taxes

Each of the Funds intends to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute substantially all of its net investment income and capital gains to shareholders at least annually. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months. On an ongoing basis, management will monitor the tax positions taken to determine if adjustment to conclusions are necessary based on factors including but not limited to further implementation on guidance expected from Financial Accounting Standards Board and ongoing analysis of tax law, regulation, and interpretations thereof. As of April 30, 2012, management of the Funds has reviewed the open tax periods and major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in future tax returns.

The Trust pays each Independent Trustee an annual retainer of $15,000, a per meeting fee of $500 for in-person meetings of the Board and a per meeting fee of $250 for telephonic meetings. The Trust pays the Chairman of the Board an additional annual retainer of $4,000 and each Trustee who acts as chairman of a committee an additional annual retainer of $1,000. The Trust also reimburses each Trustee for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending such meetings. No pension or retirement benefits are accrued as part of Trustee compensation. Each Fund’s portion of Trustees’ fees and expenses is disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

4. Distribution and Service Plan

Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the Funds’ distributor. The Trust has adopted a Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plan pursuant to which each Fund may bear a 12b-1 fee not to exceed 0.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Trust’s Board of Trustees has resolved not to authorize the payment of Rule 12b-1 fees prior to March 31, 2013. However, in the event Rule 12b-1 fees are charged in the future, they will be paid out of the respective Fund’s assets.

5. Issuance and Redemption of Fund Shares

The Trust issues and redeems Shares only in whole creation units (“Creation Units”) on a continuous basis through the Distributor, without an initial sales load, at their NAV next determined after receipt, on any business day, of an order in proper form only through an authorized participant.

The Board reserves the right to declare a split or a consolidation in the number of shares outstanding of any fund of the Trust, and to make a corresponding change in the number of shares constituting a Creation Unit, in the event that the per share price in the secondary market rises (or declines) to an amount that falls outside the range deemed desirable by the Board.

FocusShares Trust
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

A fixed creation transaction fee (“Transaction Fee”) of $500 per transaction payable to the custodian is imposed on each purchaser of Creation Units using the normal clearing process. The creation Transaction Fee is the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an authorized participant on the same day.

The basic redemption Transaction Fees are the same no matter how many Creation Units are being redeemed pursuant to any one redemption request. The Funds may adjust these Transaction Fees from time to time based upon actual experience. An additional charge up to four times the redemption Transaction Fee may be charged with respect to redemptions outside of the normal clearing process. An additional variable charge for cash redemptions or partial cash redemptions (when cash redemptions are available) may also be imposed. Investors who use the services of a broker or other such intermediary may be charged a fee for such services.

6. Investment Transactions

For the period ended April 30, 2012, the cost of securities purchased and proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term securities, derivatives and in-kind transactions, were as follows:

8. Risk

Index Risk

Except with regard to the Focus Morningstar US Market Index ETF, the Focus Morningstar Large Cap Index ETF, the Focus Morningstar Mid Cap Index ETF and the Focus Morningstar Small Cap Index ETF, each Fund’s Underlying Index is new and has limited historical performance data that is not predictive of future results. Each Underlying Index and Fund rebalance only when Morningstar determines to rebalance the Underlying Index, which occurs on a quarterly basis, which may cause the performance of the Underlying Indexes and the Funds to deviate from that of the market or sector the Underlying Indexes seek to track due to changes that are reflected in the market or sector more quickly than the quarterly rebalancing process can track.

Index Tracking Risk

Imperfect correlation between the Fund’s portfolio securities and those in the Underlying Index, rounding of prices, changes to the Underlying Index and regulatory requirements may cause tracking error, which is the divergence of the Fund’s performance from that of the Underlying Index. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions. Tracking error also may result because the Fund incurs fees and expenses while the Underlying Index does not.

Concentration Risk

This risk applies to all Funds except the Focus Morningstar US Market Index ETF, Focus Morningstar Large Cap Index ETF, Focus Morningstar Mid Cap Index ETF and Focus Morningstar Small Cap Index ETF. To the extent that the Underlying Index is concentrated in a particular industry, the Fund also will be concentrated in that industry. Concentrated Fund investments will subject the Fund to a greater risk of loss as a result of adverse economic, business or other developments than if its investments were diversified across different industry sectors.

Non-Diversified Risk

This risk applies to each Fund except the Focus Morningstar US Market Index ETF, Focus Morningstar Large Cap Index ETF, Focus Morningstar Mid Cap Index ETF and Focus Morningstar Small Cap Index ETF. The Funds are separate investment portfolios of the Trust, which is an open-end investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Funds are classified as “non-diversified” investment companies under the 1940 Act. As a result, the Funds are subject to the risk that they will be more volatile than a diversified fund because each Fund may invest its assets in a smaller number of issuers or may invest larger proportions of its assets in a single industry within the industries that comprise its Underlying Index. As a result, the gains and losses on a single security may have a greater impact on a Fund’s NAV and may make the Fund more volatile than diversified funds.

Market Risk

The market price of investments owned by a Fund may go up or down, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. Investments may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries represented in the securities markets.

9. Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, the Advisor is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.

10. Subsequent Events

Subsequent events occurring after the date of this report have been evaluated for potential impact, for purposes of recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, through the date the report was issued.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs for purchasing and selling shares and (2) ongoing costs, including advisory fees and trustee. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses

The actual expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended, April 30, 2012.

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, 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 line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The hypothetical expense examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of a six month period and held through the period ended, April 30, 2012.

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds 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 table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as creation or redemption fees, or brokerage charges. Therefore, the second line for each Fund in 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 transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.
