Notes to the Financial Statements

June 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Ancora Income Fund (the "Income Fund"), Ancora/Thelen Small-Mid Cap Fund (the "Small-Mid Cap Fund"), and Ancora Dividend Value Equity Fund (the "Dividend Value Equity Fund"), (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are each a separate series of Ancora Trust (the "Trust"), an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated August 20, 2003. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest representing interests in separate funds of securities, and it permits the Trust to offer separate classes of each such series. The Income Fund's investment objective is to obtain a high level of income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Small-Mid Cap Fund's investment objective is to obtain capital appreciation in the value of its shares. The Dividend Value Equity Fund's investment objective is to provide growth of income and long-term capital appreciation. Each Fund is an "open-end" management investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund is a "diversified" company as defined in the 1940 Act. The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust has authorized that shares of the Funds may be offered in two classes: Class I and Class S. Class S shares are currently offered in the Small-Mid Cap Fund only. Class I and Class S shares are identical, except as to minimum investment requirements and the services offered to and expenses borne by each class. Class S and Class I shares are offered continuously at net asset value ("NAV"). Class I shares are subject to shareholder service fees. Class I and Class S shares are subject to a contractual limit on total operating expenses. Income and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. Each class is subject to different expenses on the basis of the daily net assets of each class. The investment advisor of the Funds is Ancora Advisors LLC (the "Advisor").

Each Fund included herein is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of each Fund is used by the investment manager to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown in the statements of operations and the financial highlights for each Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Funds. Each Fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the notes to the financial statements and resources are not allocated to a Fund based on performance measurements. Due to the significance of oversight and their role, the Advisor is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

The Funds will deduct a 2% redemption fee from redemption proceeds if shares are purchased and then redeemed within 90 days. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Income Fund - Class I did not collect any redemption fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Small-Mid Cap Fund - Class I collected $152 in redemption fees and Class S did not collect any redemption fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Dividend Value Equity Fund - Class I did not collect any redemption fees.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP").

Security Valuation - All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Use Of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes - The Funds' policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is the Funds' policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. This Internal Revenue Code requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Funds' policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of certain tax positions only where 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 taken on returns filed. Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal; 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.

As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to recognized tax benefits or income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Distributions To Shareholders - The Income Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, as dividends to its shareholders on a monthly basis. The Small-Mid Cap Fund and Dividend Value Equity Fund intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income, if any, as dividends to their shareholders on at least an annual basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. All of the Funds intend to distribute their net realized long term capital gains and net realized short term capital gains, if any, at least once a year. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused by differences in the timing and recognition of certain components of income, expense, or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, the results of operations, or net asset value per share of a fund. The permanent reclassifications were mainly due to prior year tax return true-ups, investments in partnerships, net operating loss forfeiture and the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares.

Security Transactions and Related Income - The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions based on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the appropriate country's rules and tax rates.

The Funds may hold certain investments which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. It is possible for these dividends to exceed the underlying investments' taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

Expenses - Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific Fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual Funds based on each Fund's relative net assets or other appropriate basis as determined by the Board.

Indemnification - The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. 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, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATIONS

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or 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 on 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 in its entirety.

Fair Value Measurements - A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds' major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows.

Money market funds are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the fund. The money market funds will be categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Equity securities (common stocks including real estate investment trust senior securities, traditional preferred securities, and investment companies) - are valued by using market quotations furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued at a fair price as determined by the Advisor in good faith, in accordance with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. Manually priced securities held by the Funds (if any) are reviewed by the Board on a quarterly basis. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified in Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities (including corporate bond trust certificates) - Fixed income securities are valued by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices are accurate and reflect the fair value of such securities. If the Advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing services does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor. Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation. Generally, fixed income securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value each Fund's assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2026:

NOTE 7. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2023, the SEC adopted a final rule relating to "Names Rule" under the 1940 Act. The amendments expanded the rule to require more funds to adopt an 80 percent investment policy, including funds with names suggesting a focus in investments with particular characteristics (e.g., growth or value) or with terms that reference a thematic investment focus (e.g., environmental, social, or governance factors). The amendments will require that a fund review its name for compliance with the rule. If needed, a fund may need to adopt an 80 percent investment policy and review its portfolio assets' treatment under such policy at least quarterly. The rule also requires additional prospectus disclosure and reporting and record keeping requirements. The amendments became effective on April 9, 2024. The compliance date is June 11, 2026 for Funds with more than $1 billion in assets and December 11, 2026 for Funds with less than $1 billion in assets. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the new rule.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. As a result of the Funds' continued compliance with the IRC requirements of regulated investment companies and the Fund's limited exposure to foreign withholding taxes on dividends received, management has determined that there is not material impact of the ASU on the Funds' financial statements.

NOTE 8. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of June 30, 2026, National Financial Services, LLC owned, for the benefit of its customers, the following percentages of the outstanding shares:

Income Fund 85.16%
Small-Mid Cap Fund 53.20%
Dividend Value Equity Fund 71.98%

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Funds are required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Funds are required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the issuance date of these financial statements and has noted no additional events requiring accounting or disclosure.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DISCLOSURE POLICY (UNAUDITED)

The Funds disclose their portfolio holdings in the following manner: (i) the Funds file complete schedules of portfolio holdings with the Commission for the first and third quarter each year on Form N-PORT; (ii) the Funds' Form N-PORT are available on the Commission website at http:www.sec.gov and in annual and semi-annual reports to shareholders' (iii) the Funds' Form N-PORT may be reviewed and copied at the Commission Public Reference Room in Washington, DC, and that information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330; (iv) on the Funds' internet site www.ancorafunds.com approximately 10 days after the end of each fiscal quarter, which information is current as of the end of such fiscal quarter' and (v) is available upon request by contacting the Funds in writing or by phone.

ADVISORY RENEWAL AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)

Approval of Investment Advisory Agreements.

At a Board meeting held on May 6, 2026, an Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreements") between Ancora Trust, on behalf of the Funds and Ancora Advisors, LLC (the "Adviser") was approved.

Mr. Davalla referred the Trustees to a memorandum from Thompson Hine, included in the Meeting Materials, regarding the Trustees' duties and responsibilities with respect to approving or renewing advisory agreements. He noted that while neither Section 15(c) nor Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act stated the specific factors that the Trustees should consider in evaluating an investment advisory agreement, the types of information that typically were requested and provided, and the factors considered, had been relatively standardized as a result of a number of court decisions brought by fund shareholders as plaintiffs alleging excessive advisory fees. He noted that these factors included, but were not limited to, the following: the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the investment adviser to the fund; the investment performance of the fund and the investment adviser; the proposed advisory fees and total expense ratios to be incurred by the fund; the profits to be realized by the adviser and its affiliates from the relationship with the fund; and the extent to which economies of scale benefit shareholders. Mr. Davalla added that rules adopted by the SEC required disclosure in certain proxies and shareholder reports of the material factors considered, and conclusions reached, by the Trustees in deciding to approve or renew an investment advisory agreement. He remarked that there was special emphasis on the disinterested trustees to exercise good faith business judgment when deciding on whether to enter into or renew an investment advisory agreement.

The Trustees reviewed the responses to the 15(c) questionnaires and the investment advisory agreement prior to the Meeting.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services. The Trustees considered the background information of the key investment personnel responsible for servicing the Funds, noting the experience and the extended tenure of its personnel. The Board considered that Mr. Santelli was now serving in the role of Co-Chief Investment Officer for Ancora, following the liquidation of the MicroCap Fund. The Trustees noted that Ancora continued to provide well-experienced portfolio managers as well as operational, compliance and distribution resources in managing the Funds. The Trustees reviewed Ancora's insurance coverage and found it to be satisfactory. The Trustees concluded that they expected Ancora to continue providing quality service to the Funds for the benefit of their respective shareholders.

Performance.

Income Fund. The Trustees noted that the Income Fund's returns were in line with the benchmark for the 1-year period. They discussed that the Fund's returns for the 5-year, 10-year and since inception periods had significantly outperformed the benchmark. The Trustees agreed that the Fund's performance was satisfactory.

Small-Mid Cap Fund. The Trustees observed the Small-Mid Cap Fund's performance had underperformed its benchmark for the 1-year period. The Board considered that the Fund's performance for the 5- year and 10-year periods was approximately in line with the benchmark returns. They noted that the Fund's since inception performance slightly lagged the returns of the benchmark. After a discussion, the Trustees agreed that the Fund's performance was not unreasonable.

Dividend Value Equity Fund. The Trustees noted that the Dividend Value Equity Fund's returns had lagged the performance of its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, for the 1-year and 5-year periods. The Trustees discussed that the Fund was approximately in line with the benchmark for the since inception period. After a discussion, the Trustees agreed that the Fund's performance was not unreasonable.

Fees and Expenses.

Income Fund. The Trustees noted that Ancora charged the Income Fund an annual advisory fee of 0.50%, which was above the peer group average but within the range of the peer group. The Trustees noted that most of the funds in the peer group had significantly greater assets than the Fund and/or were part of a much larger fund family complex. The Trustees discussed Adviser's intensive investment process, noting that it was driven by fundamental research and well-resourced. The Trustees considered that the adviser charged a similar fee for separately managed accounts for the same strategy. The Trustees acknowledged that there was an expense limitation agreement in place with respect to the Fund and the adviser's expectation that the Fund's net expenses would become more competitive relative to the peer group and category to the extent that the Fund's assets grew. The Trustees agreed that the Fund's advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Small-Mid Cap. The Trustees noted that Ancora charged the Small-Mid Cap Fund an annual advisory fee of 1.00%, which was at the high-end of the peer group. The Trustees noted that most of the funds in the peer group had significantly greater assets than the Fund and/or were part of a much larger fund family complex. The Trustees discussed Adviser's intensive investment process, noting that it was driven by fundamental research and well-resourced. The Trustees noted the difficulty in constructing a peer group, based on the Fund's strategy and the Adviser's investment process. In response to a question from the Trustees, Mr. Geers indicated that the adviser charged a similar fee for separately managed accounts for the same strategy. The Trustees acknowledged that there was an expense limitation agreement in place with respect to the Fund and the adviser's expectation that the Fund's net expenses would become more competitive relative to the peer group and category to the extent that the Fund's assets grew. The Trustees agreed that the Fund's advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Dividend Value Equity Fund. The Trustees noted that Ancora charged the Dividend Value Equity Fund an annual advisory fee of 0.75%, which was slightly above the peer group average but within the range of the peer group. The Trustees noted that most of the funds in the peer group had significantly greater assets than the Fund and/or were part of a much larger fund family complex. The Trustees discussed Adviser's intensive investment process, noting that it was driven by fundamental research and well-resourced. Mr. Geers indicated that the adviser charged a similar fee for separately managed accounts for the same strategy. The Trustees acknowledged that there was an expense limitation agreement in place with respect to the Fund and the adviser's expectation that the Fund's net expenses would become more competitive relative to the peer group and category to the extent that the Fund's assets grew. The Trustees agreed that the Fund's advisory fee was not unreasonable.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether Ancora had achieved economies of scale in connection with the advisory services provided to each Fund. The Trustees acknowledged that, with respect to each Fund, there was an expense limitation agreement in place with respect to such Fund and that Adviser had indicated its willingness to discuss breakpoints in the future, depending on Fund asset levels. The Trustees agreed that economies of scale had not yet been achieved and that the absence of breakpoints was currently appropriate.

Profitability. The Trustees considered whether the advisory relationships between Ancora and each of the Funds was excessively profitable. Upon review of the profitability analyses provided by Ancora, the Trustees considered the reasonableness of such profit in terms of absolute dollars and as a percentage of revenue with respect to each Fund. The Trustees agreed that Ancora's advisory relationship with each Fund was not excessively profitable.

Conclusion. Having requested and received such information from Ancora as the Trustees believed to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the advisory agreements, and as assisted by the advice of counsel, the Trustees concluded that the approval of the advisory agreement between Ancora and each of the Funds, was in the best interests of each of the Funds and their respective shareholders.
