Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Dear Shareholders,
Our Bullfinch Fund Unrestricted Series (BUNRX) had a positive return of 18.73% for the year ending April 30, 2025. While past performance does not guarantee future results, I am pleased to note that this Series outperformed its comparative index (the Value Line Geometric Index), which rose 2.31% during the same period.
During the last twelve months, I made the following changes to our portfolio:
Sold: Consolidated Water Co. Ltd, Corning, Medtronic PLC, Oracle, Viatris Inc., Xperi Inc.
Bought: ACM Research Inc., Core Laboratories Inc., and YETI Holdings Inc.
I'm optimistic because value-based holding reaped the reward from the shift in investment philosophy. In addition, several stocks within the strategic AI realm boosted the performance of the Unrestricted Series To view the additional portfolio information, please visit our website to read our Annual Report dated October 31, 2025.
It remains my honor to work for you and to invest alongside you.
Sincerely,
Christopher Carosa

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Dear Shareholders,
Our Bullfinch Fund Greater Western New Series (BWNYX) had a positive return of 15.49% in the twelve months ending October 31, 2025. While past performance does not guarantee future results, I am pleased to note that this Series outperformed its comparative index (the Value Line Geometric Index), which rose 2.31% during the same period.
During the last twelve months, I made the following changes to our portfolio:
Sold: Astronics, Corning, and Servotronics
Bought: Columbus McKinnon, Constellation, Integer Holdings, Monro, Sinclair, and Xerox
The Series benefited from a shift towards small-cap value stocks as several positions more than doubled in the last year. As with the Unrestricted Series, my wife and I have been owners since inception and willfully continue to purchase shares in the Greater Western New York Series.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance (Unaudited)
December 1, 2025
Dear Fellow Shareholders:
We are very proud to present the October 31, 2025 Annual Report of Bullfinch Fund, Inc. This report contains the audited financial statements for both the Unrestricted Series and the Greater Western New York Series.
What comes after the "Information Age"? Maybe the "AI Age." In the past year, artificial intelligence has taken root in every area of our lives. The hope that these roots will sprout into a fruit-bearing crop has filled many with optimism (and some with despair). The key word, though, is opportunity.
Any time change comes, it first brings chaos. People who can see beyond today, however, often position themselves to benefit tomorrow. Both Series seized the advantage this change offered. While still maintaining a conservative balance, their value-based holding reaped the reward from the shift in investment philosophy. In addition, several stocks within the strategic AI realm boosted the performance of the Unrestricted Series fund. Similarly, the Greater Western New York Series benefited from that as well as a major buyout.
In the Unrestricted Series, the top performing stocks included Western Digital Corp., Corning Inc., and Intel Corp. Among the laggards were Viatris Inc., Xperi Inc., and Kenvue Inc. Nearly two-thirds of the stocks in the portfolio exceeded double-digit gains.
During the fiscal year, in the Greater Western New York Series, Servotronics Inc., Corning Inc., and Community Financial System Inc. led the way. Xerox Holdings Corp., Astronics Corp., and Graham Corp. gave back the most during the fiscal year. More than a third of the stocks in the portfolio exceeded a 50% gain for the year.
Will the pendulum eventually swing the other way? Talk of an "AI bubble" percolates through the markets, as recent volatility shows. The double-edged sword of interest rate cuts dangles dangerously above investments of all shapes and sizes. On the one hand, the lower cost of capital can help spur the economy. On the other hand, the Fed wants to see real economic damage before it can be convinced to lower rates.
On the bright side, it appears that after years of turmoil, we may be headed into a period of geopolitical stability (if precarious). At least on the military side. The trade side might take a little longer, but it seems as if we're more likely to see more upside surprises on that front (not that there won't be a downside hiccup every once in a while).
The biggest threat to the markets next year remains domestic politics. The midterms loom as a potential litmus test for both the current administration and the so far successful socialist wing of the opposition. The question the markets must ponder: Do politicians say whatever they need to say to get elected and then govern in moderation, or do they intend to push an intense ideology that might upset the vast majority in the middle?
In either case, we've got both hands on the wheel and are prepared for anything.
We wish to thank our shareholders for expressing their confidence in us and wish you continued good fortune.
Best Regards,
Christopher Carosa, CTFA

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY (UNAUDITED)
The graph below represents the changes in value for an initial $10,000 investment in the Bullfinch Fund (the "Fund") from 10/31/15 to 10/31/25. These changes are then compared to a $10,000 investment in the Value Line Geometric Index. The Value Line Geometric Index (VLG) is an unmanaged index of between 1,600 and 1,700 stocks. Value Line states "The VLG was intended to provide a rough approximation of how the median stock in the Value Line Universe performed. The VLG also has appeal to institutional investors as a proxy for the so-called 'multi-cap' market because it includes large-cap, mid cap, and small-cap stocks alike." The Fund feels it is an appropriate benchmark because the Fund's portfolios are multi-cap portfolios. Based on its close alignment with the Fund's actual investment universe, strategy, and weighting methodology-along with its independence, availability, and industry recognition-the Value Line Geometric Index satisfies the regulatory definition of an appropriate broad-based securities market index under Form N-1A for both the Unrestricted Series and the Greater Western New York Series.
The Fund's returns include the reinvestment of all dividends, but do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemptions of fund shares. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of
Bullfinch Fund, Inc. - Unrestricted Series:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments in securities, of Bullfinch Fund, Inc. - Unrestricted Series (one of the series constituting the Bullfinch Fund, Inc. [the "Fund"]) as of October 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, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bullfinch Fund, Inc. - Unrestricted Series as of October 31, 2025, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/DeJoy & Co. CPAs, LLP
We have served as the auditor of Bullfinch Fund, Inc. - Unrestricted Series since 2016.

UNRESTRICTED SERIES (A SERIES WITHIN BULLFINCH FUND, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 2025
NOTE A - SCOPE OF BUSINESS
The Unrestricted Series (the "Series") is a series within the Bullfinch Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), which was organized as a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-ended non-diversified management investment company. The Fund offers two series of common stock. In addition to the Unrestricted Series, the Fund also offers the Greater Western New York Series.
The investment objective of the Series is to seek conservative long-term growth in capital. The investment adviser seeks to achieve this objective by using an asset mix consisting primarily of exchange listed securities and over-the-counter common stocks as well as U.S. Government securities maturing within five years.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Series follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ('ASC") 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
Fair Value Measurements - FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:
Cash & Cash Equivalents- Cash consists of amounts deposited in a bank sweep account that is federally insured and a money market fund that is not federally insured. The Series has not experienced any losses on such amounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Security Valuation - The Series records its investments at fair value and is in compliance with FASB ASC 820-10-50, Fair Value Measurement. Securities traded on national securities exchanges or the NASDAQ National Market System are valued daily at the closing prices of the securities on those exchanges and securities traded on over-the-counter markets are valued daily at the closing bid prices.
Short-term and money market securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
| ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE AS OF: 10/31/25 | ||||
| LEVEL 1 | ||||
| COMMON STOCKS | $ | 11,909,852 | ||
| CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS | 2,562,595 | |||
| TOTALS BY LEVEL | $ | 14,472,447 | ||
| 12 |
In cases where market prices are unreliable or not readily available, for example, when trading on securities are halted as permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or when there is no trading volume on an Over-the-Counter security held by the Fund, the Fund relies on fair value pricing provided by the investment adviser. In performing its fair value pricing, the investment adviser acts under the ultimate supervision of, and follows, the policies of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors retains the right to determine its own fair value price should it have reason to believe the price provided by the investment adviser does not reflect fair value. Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than securities that have readily available market quotations. There can be no assurance the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines their net asset value per share.
Series Allocations - Most expenses of the fund are either separately billed to each series or allocated under the Board of Directors approved allocation of expenses.
Income Taxes - It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
Management has reviewed all open tax years and major tax jurisdictions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Series' tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitation which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return.
Distributions to Shareholders - The Series distributes to its shareholders any ordinary income and net realized capital gains at least once each year. The amount of such distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences may be primarily due to short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase, cost of investments sold, and net capital losses. Further, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Series for financial reporting purposes.
The tax basis of distributable earnings on an accumulated basis was $6,479,044 as of October 31, 2025. Distributions to shareholders of ordinary income from dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders of the Series during the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows: The Series made a distribution of its ordinary income of $116,360 to its shareholders on December 27, 2024, in the form of stock dividends equal to 4,482.283 shares of stock The Series made a distribution of its ordinary income of $105,286 to its shareholders on December 26, 2023, in the form of stock dividends equal to 4,219.874 shares of stock. The Series made a distribution of its short term capital gains of $8,533 to its shareholders on December 26, 2023, in the form of stock dividends equal to 342.007 shares of stock. The Series made a distribution of its long term capital gains of $1,029,273 to its shareholders on December 26, 2023, in the form of stock dividends equal to 41,253.403 shares of stock.
| 13 |
Other - The Series follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains and losses for financial statement and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Series may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.
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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results can differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events - In accordance with GAAP, the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through December 22, 2025, the date of issuance of these financial statements.
NOTE C - INVESTMENTS
For the year ended October 31, 2025, the Series purchased $602,131 of common stock. During the same period, the Series redeemed $1,907,347 of common stock.
At October 31, 2025, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation were as follows: the gross unrealized appreciation for all securities totaled $6,727,298 and the gross unrealized depreciation for all securities totaled $248,254 or a net unrealized appreciation of $6,479,044. The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes at October 31, 2025 was $5,430,808.
NOTE D - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC serves as investment adviser to the Fund pursuant to an investment adviser agreement which was approved by the Fund's Board of Directors. Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC is a Registered Investment Adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. The investment adviser agreement provides that Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC, subject to the supervision and approval of the Fund's Board of Directors, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, which includes selecting investments and handling its business affairs.
As compensation for its services to the Fund, the investment adviser receives monthly compensation at an annual rate of 1.25% on the first $1 million of daily average net assets and 1% on that portion of the daily average net assets in excess of $1 million. These fees are reduced by any sub-transfer agent fees incurred by the Fund.
Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC has agreed as part of its contract to forego sufficient investment adviser fees to limit total expenses of the Fund to 2% of the first $10 million in average assets and 1.5% of the next $20 million in average assets.
During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Fund paid investment adviser fees of $131,729.
As of October 31, 2025, the Fund had $12,301 included in liabilities, as owed to Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC.
Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC.
NOTE E - REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS
The Directors are paid a fee of $50 per quarter. They may be reimbursed for travel expenses.
NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Series indemnifies the Fund's officers and the Board of Directors for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Series. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which 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 that have not yet occurred. However, based on its experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE G - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Market risks include global events which could impact the value of investment securities, such as a pandemic or international conflict. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the valuation of Series of the Fund.
NOTE H- CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
The Fund has authorized 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 par value per share. These shares are issued under either of the two series of the Fund. Each share has equal dividend, distribution and liquidation rights. Transactions in capital stock of the Series were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of
Bullfinch Fund, Inc. - Greater Western New York Series:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments in securities, of Bullfinch Fund, Inc. - Greater Western New York Series (one of the series constituting the Bullfinch Fund, Inc. [the "Fund"]) as of October 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, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bullfinch Fund, Inc. - Greater Western New York Series as of October 31, 2025, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements and financial highlights 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
/s/ DeJoy & Co. CPAs, LLP
We have served as the auditor of Bullfinch Fund, Inc. - Greater Western New York Series since 2016.

GREATER WESTERN NEW YORK SERIES (A SERIES WITHIN BULLFINCH FUND, INC.)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OCTOBER 31, 2025
NOTE A - SCOPE OF BUSINESS
The Greater Western New York Series (the "Series") is a series within the Bullfinch Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"), which was organized as a Maryland corporation registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-ended non-diversified management investment company. The Fund offers two series of common stock. In addition to the Greater Western New York Series, the Fund also offers the Unrestricted Series.
The investment objective of the Series is to seek capital appreciation through the investment in common stock of companies with an important economic presence in the Greater Western New York Region. The investment adviser seeks to achieve this objective by using an asset mix consisting primarily of exchange listed securities and over-the-counter common stocks as well as U.S. Government securities maturing within five years.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Series in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The Series follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.
Fair Value Measurements - FASB ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value:
Cash & Cash Equivalents- Cash consists of amounts deposited in a bank sweep account that is federally insured and a money market fund that is not federally insured. The Series has not experienced any losses on such amounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Security Valuation - The Series records its investments at fair value and is in compliance with FASB ASC 820-10-50, Fair Value Measurement. Securities traded on national securities exchanges or the NASDAQ National Market System are valued daily at the closing prices of the securities on those exchanges and securities traded on over-the-counter markets are valued daily at the closing bid prices. Short-term and money market securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
| ASSETS AT FAIR VALUE AS OF: 10/31/25 | ||||
| LEVEL 1 | ||||
| COMMON STOCKS | $ | 2,935,960 | ||
| CASH & CASH EQUIVALENTS | 532,454 | |||
| TOTALS BY LEVEL | $ | 3,468,414 | ||
In cases where market prices are unreliable or not readily available, for example, when trading on securities are halted as permitted by the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission or when there is no trading volume on an Over-the-Counter security held by the Fund, the Fund relies on fair value pricing provided by the investment adviser. In performing its fair value pricing, the investment adviser acts under the ultimate supervision of, and follows, the policies of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors retains the right to determine its own fair value price should it have reason to believe the price provided by the investment adviser does not reflect fair value. Valuing securities at fair value involves greater reliance on judgment than securities that have readily available market quotations. There can be no assurance the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security at approximately the time at which the Fund determines their net asset value per share.
| 22 |
Series Allocations - Most expenses of the fund are either separately billed to each series or allocated under the Board of Directors approved allocation of expenses.
Income Taxes - It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, the Fund intends to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Code. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
Management has reviewed all open tax years and major tax jurisdictions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Series' tax returns are open to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitation which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return.
Distributions to Shareholders - The Series distributes to its shareholders any ordinary income and net realized capital gains at least once each year. The amount of such distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences may be primarily due to short-term capital gains and losses, capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase, cost of investments sold, and net capital losses. Further, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Series for financial reporting purposes.
The tax basis of distributable earnings on an accumulated basis was $1,520,227 as of October 31, 2025.Distributions to shareholders of ordinary income from dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders of the Series during the years ended October 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows: The Series made a distribution of its ordinary income of $16,523 to its shareholders on December 27, 2024 in the form of stock dividends equal to 613.561 shares of stock. The Series made a distribution of its ordinary income of $17,382 to its shareholders on December 26, 2023 in the form of stock dividends equal to 695.553 shares of stock.
Other - The Series follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains and losses for financial statement and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Series may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.
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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results can differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events - In accordance with GAAP, the Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through December 22, 2025, the date of issuance of these financial statements.
NOTE C - INVESTMENTS
For the year ended October 31, 2025, the Series purchased $500,439 of common stock. During the same period, the Series redeemed $523,007 of common stock.
At October 31, 2025, the tax basis components of unrealized appreciation were as follows: the gross unrealized appreciation for all securities totaled $1,567,818 and the gross unrealized depreciation for all securities totaled $47,591, or a net unrealized appreciation of $1,520,227. The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes at October 31, 2025 was $1,415,733.

As of October 31, 2025, the Fund had $3,205 included in liabilities, as owed to Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC.
As of October 31, 2025, three of the Series' shareholders of record owned 49% of the outstanding shares. The Series may be adversely affected when a shareholder purchases or redeems large amounts of shares, which may impact the Series in the same manner as a high volume of redemption requests. Significant shareholder purchases and redemptions may adversely impact the Series portfolio management and may cause the Series to make investment decisions at inopportune times or prices or miss attractive investment opportunities. Such transactions may also increase the Series' transaction costs, accelerate the realization of taxable income if sales of securities result in gains, or otherwise cause the Series to perform differently than intended.
Certain officers of the Fund are also officers of Carosa Stanton Asset Management.
NOTE E - REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS
The Directors are paid a fee of $50 per quarter. They may be reimbursed for travel expenses.
NOTE F - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Series indemnifies the Fund's officers and the Board of Directors for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Series. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which 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 that have not yet occurred. However, based on its experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
NOTE G - RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
In the normal course of business, the Series invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Market risks include global events which could impact the value of investment securities, such as a pandemic or international conflict. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and such changes could materially affect the valuation of Series of the Fund.
NOTE H - CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS
The Fund has authorized 10,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.01 par value per share. These shares are issued under either of the two series of the Fund. Each share has equal dividend, distribution and liquidation rights. Transactions in capital stock of the Series were as follows:
| Shares | Amount | |||||||
| Balance at October 31, 2023 | 105,845.449 | $ | 1,591,292 | |||||

+ Expenses are equal to each Series' annualized expense ratio multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days (181) in the most recent fiscal half-year, then divided by 365.
++ Assumes annual return of 5% before expenses.
All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur operating expenses including investment advisory fees, regulatory fees and other Fund expenses. Such expenses, which are deducted from the Fund's gross income, directly reduce the investment return of the Fund. The Fund's expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets. This figure is known as the expense ratio. The Expense Table is intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (May 1, 2025 to October 31, 2025).
The Expense Table illustrates your Fund's costs in two ways.
| ● | ACTUAL EXPENSES. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that would have been paid over the period. The "Ending Account Value" shown is derived from the Fund's actual return, and "Expenses Paid During Period" shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. |
| ● | HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES. This section is intended to help you compare your Fund's costs with those of other mutual funds. It is based on your Fund's actual expense ratio and assumes that your Fund had an annual return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case - because the return used is not your Fund's actual return - the results may not be used to estimate your actual ending account value or expenses you paid during this period. The example is useful in making comparisons between your Fund and other funds because the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") requires all mutual funds to calculate expenses based on an annual 5% return. You can assess your Fund's costs by comparing this hypothetical example with the hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds. |

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

The Fund's Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. The Fund's Forms N-PORT may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington DC.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT
The Fund has adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program (the "Program") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The program seeks to assess, manage and review the Fund's Liquidity Risk. "Liquidity Risk" is defined as the risk that a Fund could not meet requests to redeem shares issued by the Fund without significant dilution of remaining investors' interest in the Fund. The Board has approved the designation of Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC (the "Adviser"), the investment adviser to the Fund, as the program administrator for the Program. The Adviser has reviewed the adequacy and effectiveness of the Program's implementation with respect to the Fund. The information and factors included, among other things: (i) the liquidity risk framework used to assess, manage and periodically review the Fund's liquidity, and the results of this assessment; (ii) the inputs used to classify the liquidity of the Fund's portfolio investments and the Adviser's assessment that the Fund's strategy is appropriate for an open-end mutual fund; (iii) that the Fund held primarily highly liquid assets (investments that the Fund anticipates can be converted to cash within 3 business days or less in current market conditions without significantly changing their market value); (iv) that neither Fund required the establishment of a highly liquid investment minimum and the methodology for that determination; (v) confirmation that none of the Series' of the Fund had breached the 15% maximum illiquid security threshold (investments that cannot be sold or disposed of in seven days or less in current market conditions without the sale of the investments significantly changing the market value of the investment) and the procedures for monitoring compliance with the limit; and (vi)information regarding shareholder concentration in each Fund. The Report also noted that no changes were made to the Program. Based on the review, the Report concluded that the Program was being effectively implemented and that the Program was designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk. RISK ASSESSMENT: As there have been no changes in this area, the risk remains the same - very low.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S APPROVAL OF THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT
The Independent Board of the Board met separately to discuss the Adviser and reported the conclusions to the Board. In determining whether to renew the Management and Investment Advisory Agreements between the Fund and Carosa Stanton Asset Management, LLC, (the Adviser), the Board requested, and the Adviser provided information relevant to the Board's consideration. Among the factors the Board considered were:
NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE INVESTMENT ADVISER
The Board reviewed the nature, quality and scope of current and anticipated services provided by the Investment Adviser under the Advisory Agreement. The Board also analyzed the Investment Adviser's experience and the capabilities of the Investment Adviser's portfolio manager. For example, the Board reviewed and discussed the Investment Advisor's Form ADV and internal compliance policies, as well as the experience of the Investment Adviser as investment adviser or sub-adviser to other investment portfolios. In addition to the above considerations, the Board reviewed and considered a description of the Investment Adviser's portfolio and brokerage transactions. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the range and quality of services to be provided by the Investment Adviser to the Fund were appropriate and continued to support its original selection of the Investment Adviser.
INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE
The Board considered the Adviser's investment performance during its tenure managing this Fund. The Trustees considered year-to-date performance along with annual performances for 1, 5, and 10 year(s) as well as performance since inception. Greatest emphasis is placed on the long-term investment performances. As of 12/31/24 the Investment Adviser has outperformed the benchmarks in all periods. The Board tried to compare this Fund's performance to similar funds such as funds classified by Lipper as Multi-Cap Value whenever this information was attainable without charge to the Fund. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the current and historical performance of the Fund, as managed by the Investment Adviser, was satisfactory.
COST OF SERVICES TO THE FUND AND PROFITABILITY OF ADVISER
The Board discussed the advisory fee along with the Fund's other expenses as they relate to the Fund's total expense rate. This expense ratio was compared to The Balance which reported average expense ratios for Large Cap (1.00%), Mid-Cap (1.10%), and Small-Cap (1.20%). The Board noted the Fund was smaller than the average fund. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the expense level of the Fund, as managed by the Investment Advisor, was satisfactory.
The Board considered the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to the Investment Adviser from the fee payable under the Advisory Agreement. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the Fund's advisery fee is competitive with those of comparable funds and that the Investment Adviser's profit margin was reasonable.
ECONOMIES OF SCALE
The Board received and considered information regarding whether there have been economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board noted that the total operating expenses of the Fund regarding economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows.
CONCLUSIONS
Based upon their review and consideration of these factors and other matters deemed relevant, the Board concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements are fair and reasonable and the Board voted to renew the Agreements.
