Upright Investments Trust
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2025 (UNAUDITED)
1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Upright Investments Trust (the "Trust") was organized as a business trust under the laws of the State of Delaware under a Certificate of Formation dated March 4, 1998, and is registered as an Investment Company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Certificate of Formation provides for an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest, which may, without shareholder approval, be divided into an unlimited number of series of such shares. The Trust presently includes Upright Assets Allocation Plus Fund ("Assets Allocation Plus Fund"), a diversified series; Upright Growth and Income Fund (the "Growth and Income Fund"), a diversified series; and Upright Growth Fund (the "Growth Fund"), a non-diversified series, (collectively the "Funds"). The principal investment objective of the Assets Allocation Plus Fund is to seek total return. The principal investment objective of the Growth and Income Fund is to seek current income consistent with growth of capital. The principal investment objective of the Growth Fund is to provide long-term growth of capital.
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.
Federal Income Taxes: The Funds make no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Funds intend to qualify each year as "regulated investment companies" ("RIC") under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of their taxable income. The Funds also intend to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that they will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Funds could incur a tax expense. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
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 concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2022-2024) or expected to be taken in the Funds' 2025 tax returns. The 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 12 months.
The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended March 31, 2025, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Distributions to Shareholders - Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid annually. Distributions of the Funds' net realized capital gains, if any, are declared at least annually. Distributions are recorded on the Ex-dividend date.
The Funds may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions determined in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These reclassifications are due to differing treatment for items such as deferral of wash sales and net operating losses.
Security Transactions and Related Income - Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. Gains and losses on securities transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Fund, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of 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.
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.
As an open-end registered investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-08, the Trust follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies".
3. SECURITIES VALUATIONS
Processes and Structure
The Funds' Board of Trustees has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Adviser the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Trustees.
Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of most of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:
| · | 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 in active markets, interest rates, implied volatilities, credit spreads, yield curves, and market-collaborated inputs. |
| · | Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds' own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability at measurement date, and that 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 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 and exchange traded funds). Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. If no sales are reported, the average of the last bid and ask price is used. If no average price is available, the last bid price is used. 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 described below. When an equity security is valued by the independent pricing service using factors other than market quotations or the market is considered inactive, they will be categorized in level 2.
Repurchase Agreements - In connection with transactions in repurchase agreements, it is the Funds' policy that its custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. If the seller defaults, and the fair value of the collateral declines, realization of the collateral by the Company may be delayed or limited. The Funds did not enter any repurchase agreements during six months ended March 31, 2025.
Securities Sold Short - The Funds may make short sales. A short sale involves selling a security which the Fund does not own. The proceeds received for short sales are recorded as liabilities and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the value of the open short position on the day of determination. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out. The Funds do not have any open short positions on March 31, 2025.
Securities Purchased on Margin - The Funds may purchase securities on margin in which case the Fund does not fully pay for securities purchased and borrows amounts to settle the purchase.

7. INDEMNIFICATIONS
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. The Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
8. MARKET RISK
Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Funds. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Funds and their investments and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Funds could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.
9. SECTOR RISK
The Funds may, at times, invest a substantial portion of the portfolio in companies in the technology sector. Companies in this sector are subject to the risk of rapidly changing technological developments and highly competitive industry participants. As a result, many companies can have variable earnings and may not pay dividends, leading to higher volatility as investor expectations shift.
10. 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 funds under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of March 31, 2025, Chao Cho Yeh, in aggregate, owned approximately 29% and 28% of the shares of the Assets Allocation Plus and Growth & Income Funds, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, Yu-Yun Huang, in aggregate, owned approximately 29% and 25% of the shares of the Assets Allocation Plus Fund and Growth & Income Funds, respectively.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Management has evaluated the impact of all other subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
