How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

In the six-month period ended April 30, 2026, the Fund generated a total return of 1.84%. During the same period S&P 500® Index generated a total return of 6.03%, despite the conflict with Iran. Markets reacted sharply, with selloffs in certain sectors offset by strong gains in others that significantly outperformed the benchmark. For example, the Energy sector advanced 16.6%, driven by rising energy prices related to the conflict, while the Fund's positions in the sector increased 34.2%.

During the period, value stocks outperformed their growth counterparts.

The Fund's NAV and underlying investment performance trailed the benchmark during the period. The largest detractor of relative performance was the Fund's holdings in the Communications sector. The Fund's largest active sector positions are in Communications and Financials, both of which underperformed the benchmark. Negative stock selection in Communications also weighed on relative returns, as Meta Platforms declined 14.5% during the period. Positive stock selection in Financials did not fully offset the Fund's overweight position in the sector. The Fund did, however, reduce several financial holdings during the period.

A relatively new position in Dell was the largest contributor to performance during the six-month period. Dell advanced 83% over the period, as the company appears well positioned to benefit from the increase in AI-related capital spending that we expect in the foreseeable future. At the time of purchase, the shares were inexpensive by almost any metric. That is no longer the case, and we will consider risk-managing the position.

Our confidence in the portfolio's current positions remains high despite recent market turbulence. Questions about AI spending and its ultimate payoff are appropriate, and we continue to monitor both the likely winners and losers in the space.

How has the Fund performed over the last ten years?

Notes to the Financial Statements

April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

The Copley Fund (the "Fund") is organized as a separate, diversified series of the Centaur Mutual Funds Trust (the "Trust"). The Fund, which is the successor of Copley Fund, Inc. (the "Predecessor Fund"), assumed the assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund (the "Reorganization") and continued operations as of December 1, 2022. The Trust is an open-ended management investment company and is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"), as amended.

The Fund's investment objective is to seek growth of capital.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Fund is considered an investment company for financial reporting purposes under GAAP.

Segment Reporting

The Fund has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosure only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is the President and Principal Executive Officer of the Fund. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Copley Fund

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

Investment Valuation

The Fund's investments in securities are carried at fair value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are normally determined at the time regular trading closes on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), currently 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Securities traded in the Nasdaq over-the-counter market are generally valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price. Other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price.

Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Trust's normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value using level 3 inputs as determined by DCM Advisors, LLC (the "Advisor"), as the Fund's valuation designee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board of Trustees (the "Board"). Fair value pricing may be used, for example, in situations where (i) a portfolio security is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that security over an extended period of time; (ii) the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early; or (iii) trading of the portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund's net asset value calculation. A portfolio security's "fair value" price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Trust's normal pricing procedures.

Fair Value Measurement

GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date
Level 2 - Other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 - Significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining fair value of investments 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

8

Copley Fund

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

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 Level 3.

An investment asset's or liability's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement.

The valuation techniques used by the Fund to measure fair value during the six months ended April 30, 2026 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

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 April 30, 2026:

Valuation Inputs
Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Common Stocks(a) $ 119,622,690 $ - $ - $ 119,622,690
Money Market Funds 2,316,286 - - 2,316,286
Total $ 121,938,976 $ - $ - $ 121,938,976
(a) Refer to Schedule of Investments for sector classifications.

The Fund did not hold any investments during or at the end of the reporting period for which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income

Investment transactions are accounted for as of the date purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, if any, is recorded on the accrual basis. Gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

Expenses

The Fund bears expenses incurred specifically for the Fund and general Trust expenses.

Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities

For the six months ended April 30, 2026, purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, were $4,553,353 and $7,022,944, respectively.

There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. government obligations during the six months ended April 30, 2026.

Dividends and Distributions

Net investment income and net realized gains are not distributed, but rather are accumulated with the Fund and used to pay expenses, to effect redemptions, to make additional investments or held in cash as a reserve.

Federal Income Taxes

The Fund files tax returns as a regular corporation and accordingly the financial statements include provisions for current and deferred income taxes.

The Fund recognizes 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 reviewed the tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the State of Delaware. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to income taxes as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 3. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS

Advisor

The Advisor serves in the capacity of investment advisor to the Fund pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund. The Advisor receives monthly compensation based on the Fund's average daily net assets at an annual rate of 0.65% of the first $500 million of net assets, and 0.62% of any net assets exceeding $500 million.

For the six months ended April 30, 2026, the fee for investment advisory services totaled $353,843. At April 30, 2026, the Advisor was owed $58,293 from the Fund for investment advisory services.

Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The difference between the effective tax rate of 20.29% and the statutory rate of 21% is primarily attributable to the benefit of the dividends received deduction. At October 31, 2025, the net deferred tax liabilities are summarized as follows:

Net deferred tax liability:

Unrealized gain on investments $ 10,153,780
Net investment losses including effect of DRD 28,920
Other (28,920 )
Net deferred tax liability $ 10,153,780

In this reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which is intended to enhance transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures including additional detail related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid during the reporting period. For the six months ended April 30, 2026, federal, state or local income taxes or any income taxes in foreign jurisdictions paid by the Fund were immaterial.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES

Since the Fund accumulates its net investment income rather than distributing it, the Fund may be subject to the imposition of the federal accumulated earnings tax. The accumulated earnings tax is imposed on a corporation's accumulated taxable income at a rate of 20%.

Accumulated taxable income is defined as adjusted taxable income minus the sum of the dividends paid deduction and the accumulated earnings credit. The dividends paid deduction and accumulated earnings credit are available in calculating excess earnings subject to this tax.

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Trust entered into contracts with its service providers, on behalf of the Fund, and others that provide for 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. The Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 6. RISKS

Equity risk is the risk that the market values of equities, such as common stocks or equity related investments, may decline due to general market conditions, such a political or macroeconomic factors. Additionally, equities may decline in value due to specific factors affecting a related industry or industries. Equity securities and equity related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.

NOTE 7. SECTOR RISK

If the Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund's NAV per share. For instance, economic or market factors, regulatory changes or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector, and therefore the value of the Fund's portfolio will be adversely affected. As of April 30, 2026, the Fund had 34.89% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Financials sector.

NOTE 8. TRUSTEE COMPENSATION

As of April 30, 2026, there were two Trustees, each of whom are not "interested persons" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust (the "Independent Trustees"). Each Independent Trustee receives a fee of $20,000 each year plus $500 per series of the Trust per meeting. The officers of the Trust do not receive compensation from the Trust for performing the duties of their offices. All Trustees and officers are reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings.

NOTE 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management of the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date at which these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, management has determined there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.
