HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund returned 67.07%. The Fund outperformed its broad-based index, the S&P500, which returned 17.88%. The Fund also outperformed its more narrowly-based, secondary index which more closely reflects the types of securities in which it invests, the S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Value Index, which returned 8.83%.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
Holdings in the Materials sector in aggregate significantly contributed to Fund performance during the reporting period, with aggregate holdings in the Gold, Silver, & Precious Metals & Minerals industry being a large contribution to those returns. Fund holdings in the Energy sector also contributed to Fund performance during the reporting period. Fund holdings in the Real Estate and Consumer Staples sectors contributed the least or detracted from Fund performance.
Compared to the S&P 500, the Fund's outsized exposure to small cap stocks weighed on performance during the reporting period, as small cap stocks generally underperformed large cap stocks. Additionally, the Fund's outsized exposure to value stocks weighed on performance, as value stocks generally underperformed growth stocks during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. "Audit services" refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. "Audit-related services" refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. "Tax services" refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no "Other services" provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.
| FYE 12/31/2025 | FYE 12/31/2024 | |
| (a) Audit Fees | $21,500 | $21,100 |
| (b) Audit-Related Fees | $0 | $0 |
| (c) Tax Fees | $5,500 | $5,000 |
| (d) All Other Fees | $0 | $0 |
(e)(1) The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.
(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd. applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:
| FYE 12/31/2025 | FYE 12/31/2024 | |
| Audit-Related Fees | 0% | 0% |
| Tax Fees | 0% | 0% |
| All Other Fees | 0% | 0% |
(f) None of the hours expended on the principal accountant's engagement to audit the Registrant's financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 were attributable to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant's full-time, permanent employees.
(g) The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant's accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant's investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.-not sub-adviser) for the last two years.
| Non-Audit Related Fees | FYE 12/31/2025 | FYE 12/31/2024 |
| Registrant | $5,500 | $5,000 |
| Registrant's Investment Adviser | $0 | $0 |
(h) The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant's independence.
(i) The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.

Aegis Value Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2025
1. THE ORGANIZATION
The Aegis Funds (comprised of the Aegis Value Fund) (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as a diversified open- end management investment company. Prior to the close of business on December 13, 2019, the Fund offered Class A and Class I shares. Effective at the close of business on December 13, 2019, Class A shares were converted into Class I shares and Class A shares were terminated. The Fund's principal investment goal is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks that are believed to be significantly undervalued relative to the market based on a company's book value, revenues, or cash flow.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, the Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, "Financial Services - Investment Companies".
Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Fund. The Fund operates as a single segment entity. The Fund's Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer act as the Fund's chief operating decision maker (CODM). The financial information used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources, including total return, expense ratios, assets, and portfolio composition, is consistent with that presented within the portfolio's financial statements and financial highlights.
Security valuation.Investments in securities are valued based on market quotations or on data furnished by an independent pricing service. Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ National Market) are stated at the last reported sales price or a market's official close price on the day of valuation; other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last close price, or the average of bid and ask price for NASDAQ National Market securities. Short-term (less than 60 days maturity) notes are stated at amortized cost, which is equivalent to value. Restricted securities, securities for which market quotations are not readily available, and securities with market quotations that Aegis Financial Corporation (the "Advisor") does not believe are reflective of market value are valued at fair value as determined by the Advisor, as the valuation designee, under the oversight of the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). In determining fair value, the Advisor considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative factors available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. Where a security is traded in more than one market, which may include foreign markets, the securities are generally valued on the market considered by the Advisor to be the primary market. The Fund values its foreign securities in U.S. dollars on the basis of the then-prevailing currency exchange rates.
In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability. GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
|
Level 1 -
|
quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.
|
|
|

|
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Aegis Value Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2025(Continued)
|
Level 2 -
|
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.), quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement.
|
|
Level 3 -
|
significant unobservable inputs, including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
|
Common stocks, preferred stocks and warrants.Securities traded or dealt in one or more domestic securities exchanges, excluding the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"), and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities at the last quoted sales price or in the absence of a sale, at the mean of the last bid and asked prices. Securities traded or dealt in the NASDAQ and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market for which there were no transactions on a particular day are valued at the mean of the last bid and asked prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Stocks traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are categorized in Level 2.
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 inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of December 31, 2025:

When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Board. If events occur that will affect the value of the Fund's portfolio securities before the net asset value ("NAV") has been calculated (a "significant event"), the security will generally be priced using a fair value procedure. If a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security's value has materially changed after the close of the security's primary exchange or principal market but before the NYSE Close, the security may be valued at fair value. Foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities that do not trade when the NYSE is open may also be valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities, the Fund may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by a pricing service, which may recommend fair value or adjustments with reference to other securities, indexes or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the valuation designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of U.S. securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the NYSE Close. The Fund may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of foreign

(non-U.S.) securities. For these purposes, unless otherwise determined by the valuation designee, any movement in the applicable reference index or instrument ("zero trigger") between the earlier close of the applicable foreign market and the NYSE Close may be deemed to be a significant event, prompting the application of the pricing model (effectively resulting in daily fair valuations). Foreign exchanges may permit trading in foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities on days when the Trust is not open for business, which may result in the Fund's portfolio investments being affected when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares. The Board has adopted specific procedures for valuing portfolio securities and delegated the responsibility of fair value determinations to the Advisor, as the Fund's valuation designee. In determining the fair value of an investment, the Advisor seeks, in conjunction with the valuation methodology used pursuant to the procedures approved by the Board, to take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances, which may include as appropriate and among other factors: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) the price and extent of trading similar securities of comparable companies; (iv) the political and economic environment and government actions or pronouncements; (v) any special reports prepared by analysts; and (vi) the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by the third parties independent of the Advisor.
The following is a reconciliation of the Fund's Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value for the period ended December 31, 2025:

Foreign risk and currency translation.The Fund invests directly in foreign securities. Financial market fluctuations in any country where the Fund has investments will likely affect the value of the securities that the Fund owns in that country. These movements will affect the Fund's share price and investment performance. The political, economic, and social structures of some countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the United States. The risks of investing in foreign markets include currency fluctuations, possible nationalization or expropriation of assets, extraordinary taxation or exchange controls, political or social instability, unfavorable diplomatic developments, and certain custody and settlement risks. In addition to these risks, many foreign markets have less trading volume and less liquidity than the U.S. markets, and therefore prices in foreign markets can be highly volatile.
Foreign markets may also have less protection for investors than the U.S. markets. Foreign issuers may be subject to less government supervision. It may also be difficult to enforce legal and shareholder/bondholder rights in foreign countries. There is no assurance that the Fund will be able to anticipate these risks or counter their effects.
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
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 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 Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign

December 31, 2025(Continued)
currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at each reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
Federal income and excise taxes.The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all investment company taxable income and net capital gain to shareholders in a manner that results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Distributions to shareholders.Distributions to the Fund's shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex- dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are made at least annually for the Fund. Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, will be distributed to shareholders annually.
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gain may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain/(loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
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.
Security Transactions, Income and Expenses.The Fund records security transactions based on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. The specific identification method is used to determine book and tax cost basis when calculating realized gains and losses. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. Distributions from real estate investment trusts ("REITs") are recorded as ordinary income, net realized capital gain or return of capital based on information reported by the REITs and management's estimates of such amounts based on historical information. These estimates are adjusted when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the REITs and actual amounts may differ from the estimated amounts. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. The Fund records estimated amounts recoverable from foreign tax authorities as reclaims, which are included in dividend tax withholding on the Statement of Operations.
Indemnifications.In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations, which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Significant Concentrations.The Fund maintains a demand deposit in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Company ("FDIC") Insurance limits. As a result, the Fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of insolvency or other failure of the institution to meet its obligations. The Fund manages this risk by dealing with a major financial institution and monitoring its credit worthiness.
New Accounting Disclosure.Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). Adoption of the new standard by the Fund's financial position or results of operations. A disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction is presented when significant income taxes are paid. Income taxes paid by the Fund for the year were determined to not be significant.
3. ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Fund entered into an investment management and advisory services agreement (the "Agreement") with the Advisor that provides for a fee, computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 1.20% of the Fund's average daily net assets. The Agreement shall remain in force through December 31, 2025, and may be renewed for additional one-year periods thereafter if approved annually by a majority of the independent members of the Board. The

Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Fund on sixty (60) days' written notice or by the Advisor on ninety (90) days' written notice. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund incurred $7,188,579 in investment advisory fees. The Fund and the Advisor have also entered into an expense limitation agreement which shall remain in force through April 30, 2026, that provides for an advisory fee waiver and expense reimbursement from the Advisor if the Fund's expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, fees incurred in acquiring or disposing of portfolio securities, and extraordinary expenses, exceeds 1.50% for the Class I, of the Fund's average daily net assets.

GAAP requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a "more-likely-than-not" standard that, based on technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an interest expense in the Statement of Operations.
GAAP requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. Open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2022, through December 31, 2025. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund files U.S. federal income and excise tax returns, as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the IRS for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. The Fund has no examination in progress and is 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 twelve months.
6. INVESTMENTS IN AFFILIATED COMPANIES(1)

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders of Aegis Value Fund and
Board of Trustees of The Aegis Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Aegis Value Fund (the "Fund"), a series of shares of beneficial interest in The Aegis Funds, as of December 31, 2025, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, 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 Fund as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Fund's financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 28, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's 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 Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws 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.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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.
We have served as the Fund's auditor since 2023.

Operation and Effectiveness of Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)
Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the "Program") designed to assess and manage the risk that the Fund could not meet requests to redeem Fund shares without significant dilution of remaining investors' interests in the Fund. In assessing, managing and reviewing liquidity risk under the Program, the Fund considers a variety of factors, including its investment strategy, portfolio investments, portfolio concentration, cash flow projections, redemption policy and redemption history.
The Program requires the Fund to, among other things, (1) periodically classify (no less frequently than monthly) its investments into specific liquidity categories; (2) determine and monitor compliance with a minimum level of Fund net assets invested in "highly liquid investments" (as defined under Rule 22e-4); (3) monitor compliance with a 15% limit for the acquisition of "illiquid investments" (as defined under Rule 22e-4); and (4) periodically assess (no less frequently than annually) the Fund's liquidity risk based on certain factors.
During the 12-month period ended September 30, 2024 (the "Review Period"), there were no liquidity events that materially affected the Fund's performance or ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to remaining investors' interests in the Fund.

The Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund, which the Board has designated to administer the Program, prepared a written report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed the Program's adequacy and effectiveness of implementation during the Review Period (the "Report"). The Board reviewed and accepted the Report, which reflected that the Program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk and that during the Review Period the Program operated adequately and effectively in managing the Fund's liquidity risk.
