PRECIOUS METALS AND FINANCIAL MARKETS:
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the gold price averaged about $3,439 per ounce (all metal prices are based on the London PM Fix) as compared to $2,388 and $1,943 in 2024 and 2023, respectively. With a low of $2,633 and a high of $4,481, the gold price ended up about 63% over the course of 2025. Similarly, the price of silver rose 154% over 2025. These market conditions have positively impacted the Fund because the Fund was invested in companies whose revenue is derived from the mining and sale of gold, silver, and certain base metals.
INVESTMENT STRATEGY AND RETURNS:
The Fund seeks primarily capital appreciation and protection against inflation and, secondarily, current income. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund's total return was 195.76% and the S&P 500 Index total return was 17.88%. The Fund's net investment loss, net realized gain on investments, and net increase in unrealized appreciation on investments were, respectively, $492,074, $2,854,311, and $22,149,302, which contributed materially to the Fund's total return. The Fund's top performance contributors were Lundin Gold, a Canadian gold miner with operations in Ecuador, and DPM Metals, Inc., a Canadian-based precious metals producer with operations in Europe. The Fund's top performance detractors during the same period were Victoria Gold Corp., a Canadian gold miner, and B2Gold Corp., a Canadian gold miner with operations in Africa and the Philippines. During this period, unrealized depreciation was recorded from holdings of, among others, B2Gold Corp., and unrealized appreciation from, among others, Agnico Eagle Mines, Ltd., a Canadian precious metals producer.

How did the Fund perform during the period? What affected the Fund's performance?
Over the course of 2025, U.S. equity markets reacted favorably to the Federal Reserve's accommodative monetary policy, positive GDP growth in the second and third quarters of 2025, and moderate inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Additionally, U.S. corporate earnings remained resilient, as U.S corporate profits after tax were 4.3% higher in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the third quarter 2024. In addition, the Fund benefited from, among other things, investor enthusiasm over the potential of artificial intelligence, which favorably impacted two of the Fund's holdings, Alphabet Inc. and Lam Research Corporation.

The Fund's net investment loss, net realized gain on investments, and net increase in unrealized appreciation on investments were, respectively, $577,506, $898,502, and $5,606,140, which contributed materially to the Fund's total return. The Fund's top performance contributors were Alphabet, Inc., a multinational technology company, and Lam Research Corporation, an American supplier of equipment to the semiconductor industry. The Fund's top performance detractors were UnitedHealth Group, Inc., a health care company that provides health insurance and services, and Williams-Sonoma, Inc., a consumer retail company that sells kitchenware and home furnishings.

Atkinson, Jon Tomasson, and Peter K. Werner. Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and Board of Trustees in the absence of such designation or identification.

In those situations when it is not convenient to obtain full Audit Committee approval, the Chairman of the Audit Committee is delegated the authority to grant pre-approvals of auditing, audit-related, non-audit related, tax, and all other services so long as all such pre-approved decisions are reviewed with the full Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. Such pre-approval of non-audit services proposed to be provided by the auditors to the registrant is not necessary, however, if such services fall within the de minimis exception under Section 10A of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

(h)
The registrant's audit committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services that were rendered by the accountant to the registrant's investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
(i)
Not applicable.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Midas Series Trust

Walpole, New Hampshire

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Midas Discovery and Midas Special Opportunities (the "Funds"), each a series of Midas Series Trust (the "Trust"), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five 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 Funds as of December 31, 2025, the results of their operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their 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 are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' 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 Funds 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 have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Trust since 1989.

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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds' 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 Funds' 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, 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 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Midas Discovery and Midas Special Opportunities (each individually, a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") are each a series of shares of Midas Series Trust (the "Trust"), a Delaware statutory trust which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Company Act"), as an open end management investment company. Each Fund is a distinct portfolio with its own investment objective and policies. The Trust retains Midas Management Corporation (the "Investment Manager") as the investment manager of each Fund. The investment objectives of Midas Discovery are primarily capital appreciation and protection against inflation and, secondarily, current income. Under normal circumstances, in pursuit of its investment objectives, Midas Discovery's investment strategy is to invest principally in (i) securities (e.g., common and preferred stocks, bonds, convertible securities, etc.) of companies primarily involved, directly or indirectly, in the business of mining, processing, fabricating, distributing or otherwise dealing in gold, silver, platinum, other precious metals, or other natural resources; and (ii) gold, silver, and platinum bullion and coins; provided, however, that the Fund may invest in any type of equity security (e.g., common and preferred stocks) and in companies of any size, industry or sector, including both domestic and foreign companies, that the Investment Manager believes may achieve the Fund's investment objectives. The investment objective of Midas Special Opportunities is capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, in pursuit of its investment objective, Midas Special Opportunities may invest in any security type (e.g., common and preferred stocks, bonds, convertible securities, etc.) and in companies of any size, industry, or sector, including both domestic and foreign companies.

Each Fund currently offers one class of shares. The Funds impose a short term trading redemption fee on any Fund shares that are redeemed or exchanged within 30 days following their purchase date. The redemption fee is 1% of the amount redeemed. Such fees are retained by the Funds for the benefit of the remaining shareholders and are accounted for as an addition to paid in capital.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies." The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements.

The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Valuation of Investments - Portfolio securities are valued by various methods depending on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Most equity securities for which the primary market is in the United States are usually valued at the official closing price, last sale price or, if no sale has occurred, at the closing bid price. Most equity securities for which the primary market is outside the United States are usually valued using the official closing price or the last sale price in the principal market in which they are traded. If the last sale price on the local exchange is unavailable, the last evaluated quote or closing bid price normally is used. In the event of an unexpected closing of the primary market or exchange, a security may continue to trade on one or more other markets, and the price as reflected on those other trading venues may be more reflective of the security's value than an earlier price from the primary market or exchange. Accordingly, a Fund may seek to use these additional sources of pricing data or information when prices from the primary market or exchange are unavailable, or are earlier and less representative of current market value. Gold and silver bullion are valued at 4:00 p.m. ET, at the mean between the last bid and asked quotations of the Bloomberg Composite (NY) Spot Price for that metal. Certain debt securities may be priced through pricing services that may utilize a matrix pricing system which takes into consideration factors such as yields, prices, maturities, call features, and ratings on comparable securities or according to prices quoted by a securities dealer that offers pricing services. Open end investment companies are valued at their net asset value ("NAV"). Foreign securities markets may be open on days when the U.S. markets are closed. For this reason, the value of any foreign securities owned by a Fund could change on a day when shareholders cannot buy or sell shares of a Fund. Although the Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") may choose to determine fair value in good faith for any or all fund investments by carrying out the required functions itself, pursuant to Rule 2a-5under the Company Act, the Board currently has chosen to designate the performance of fair value determinations to a valuation designee, the Investment Manager, subject to the Board's oversight, with respect to securities for which market quotations are not readily available and reliable and other assets, called "fair value pricing." Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuation, fair value pricing values may differ from the values that would have been used had a readily available and reliable market quotation for the securities existed. These differences in valuation could be material. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value. The use of fair value pricing may cause the NAV of its shares to differ from the NAV that would be calculated using market prices. A fair value price is an estimate and there is no assurance that such price will be at or close to the price at which a security is next quoted or traded.

Cash - Cash may include deposits allocated among banks insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") in amounts up to the insurance coverage maximum amount of $250,000. Cash may also include uninvested cash balances held by the Funds' custodian.

Investments in Other Investment Companies - Each Fund may invest in shares of other investment companies such as closed end funds, exchange traded funds, and mutual funds (each, an "Acquired Fund") in accordance with the Company Act and related rules. Shareholders in a Fund bear the pro rata portion of the fees and expenses of the Acquired Funds in addition to a Fund's expenses. The expenses incurred by the Funds that are disclosed in the Statement of Operations do not include fees and expenses incurred by the Acquired Funds. The fees and expenses of an Acquired Fund are reflected in such Acquired Fund's total return.

Foreign Currency Translation - Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at prevailing exchange rates. Realized gain or loss on sales of such investments in local currency terms is reported separately from gain or loss attributable to a change in foreign exchange rates for those investments.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - Forward foreign currency contracts are marked to market and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a contract is closed, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. A Fund could be exposed to risk if a counterparty is unable to meet the terms of the contract or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably.

Derivatives - The Funds may use derivatives for a variety of reasons, such as to attempt to protect against possible changes in the value of their portfolio holdings or to generate potential gain. Derivatives are financial contracts that derive their values from other securities or commodities, or that are based on indices. Derivatives are marked to market with the change in value reflected in unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Upon disposition, a realized gain or loss is recognized accordingly, except when taking delivery of the asset underlying a contract, in which case the recognition of gain or loss is postponed until the disposal of the asset. The Funds risk loss if counterparties fail to meet the terms of the contract. Derivative contracts include, among other things, options, futures, forward currency contracts, and swap agreements.

Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Realized gains or losses are determined by specifically identifying the cost basis of the investment sold.

Investment Income - Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividenddate or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as practicable after a Fund is notified. Taxes withheld on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with each Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Expenses - Expenses deemed to have been incurred solely by a Fund are normally charged to that Fund in the entirety. Expenses deemed to have been incurred jointly by a Fund and one or more of the other investment companies for which the Investment Manager or its affiliates serve as investment manager, or other related entities, are generally allocated based on the most practicable method deemed equitable at the time the expense is incurred, including, without limitation, on the basis of relative assets under management.

Distributions to Shareholders - Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and are recorded on the ex-dividenddate. The Funds may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. At the time a shareholder purchases Fund shares, the Fund's NAV may reflect undistributed income or undistributed capital gains. A subsequent distribution to the shareholder of such amounts, although constituting a return of the shareholder's investment, would be taxable, unless the shareholder is investing through a tax deferred retirement account, such as an IRA. Buying Fund shares just before the Fund declares an income dividend or capital gains distribution is sometimes known as "buying a dividend." To avoid buying a dividend, check the Funds' distribution schedule before you invest. In addition, the NAV of a Fund may, at any time, reflect net unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions to shareholders. On the date that distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains are paid, the Fund's NAV will decrease by the per share amount of the distribution paid.

Income Taxes - No provision has been made for U.S. income taxes because each Fund's current intention is to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"), and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains. Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Each Fund has reviewed its tax positions and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on federal, state, and local income tax returns for open tax years (2022-2024) or expected to be taken in the Funds' 2025 tax returns.

Each Fund may be subject to foreign taxation related to certain securities held by a Fund, income received, capital gains on the sale of securities, and currency transactions. Foreign taxes, if any, are recorded in accordance with each Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates. When a capital gain tax is determined to apply, a Fund records an estimated deferred tax liability in an amount that would be payable if the securities were disposed of on the valuation date.

The Funds adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Update 2023-09,Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosuresduring the period ended December 31, 2025. Adoption of the new standard did not materially impact the Fund's financial statement disclosures, financial position, or results of operations.

2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The Trust has retained the Investment Manager pursuant to an investment management agreement that provides for a management fee payable monthly and based on the average daily net assets of each Fund. With respect to Midas Discovery, the annual management fee is 1% on the first $200 million, .95% from $200 million to $400 million, .90% from $400 million to $600 million, .85% from $600 million to $800 million, .80% from $800 million to $1 billion, and .75% over $1 billion. With respect to Midas Special Opportunities, the annual management fee is 1% on the first $10 million, .875% from $10 million to $30 million, .75% from $30 million to $150 million, .625% from $150 million to $500 million, and .5% over $500 million.

The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has adopted a plan of distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1under the Company Act. Under the plan and a related distribution agreement, each Fund pays the distributor, Midas Securities Group, Inc. (the "Distributor"), an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% based on the average daily net assets of each Fund for distribution and shareholder services and other activities and expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of the Funds' shares. In addition, Midas Discovery and Midas Special Opportunities each reimbursed the Distributor $23,830 and $3,033, respectively, for payments made to certain brokers for record keeping, administrative, and similar services for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are officers and directors of the Investment Manager and the Distributor.

Pursuant to the investment management agreement, the Funds reimburse the Investment Manager for providing, at cost, certain administrative services comprised of compliance and accounting services. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Funds reimbursed such costs as follows:

 $       70,805  $      59,330

Accounting

Each trustee of the Trust who is not an employee of the Investment Manager or its affiliates is compensated by the Funds. These trustees receive fees for service as a trustee from the Funds and the other funds of which they are a director or trustee and for which the Investment Manager or its affiliates serve as investment manager. In addition, trustee out-of-pocketexpenses are allocated to each such Fund based on the most practicable method deemed equitable at the time the expense is incurred, including, without limitation, on the basis of relative assets under management. Expenses deemed to have been incurred solely by a Fund are normally charged to such Fund in the entirety.

The Funds leased storage from an affiliate at a cost of $24 and $18 for Midas Discovery and Midas Special Opportunities, respectively.

Federal income tax regulations permit post-October net capital losses, if any, to be deferred and recognized on the tax return of the next succeeding taxable year.

GAAP requires certain components related to permanent differences of net assets to be classified differently for financial reporting than for tax reporting purposes. These differences have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. These differences, which may result in distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to net operating losses.

As of December 31, 2025, the Funds recorded the following financial reporting reclassifications to the net asset accounts to reflect those differences.

Midas Discovery utilized $2,861,345 of capital loss carryover during the year ended December 31, 2025.

4. VALUE MEASUREMENTS

A hierarchy established by GAAP prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities including securities actively traded on a securities exchange.

Level 2 - observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability which may include quoted prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including a Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability.

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 for the security, 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 investments categorized in level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, 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. The inputs and methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to a Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Equity Securities (Common and Preferred Stock) - Most publicly traded equity securities are valued normally at the most recent official closing price, last sale price, evaluated quote, or closing bid price. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they may be categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Equities on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments may be categorized in level 2.

Illiquid Securities - Illiquid securities for which quotations are not readily available or reliable may be valued with fair value pricing as described above. Depending on the relative significance of valuation inputs, these instruments may be categorized in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of December 31, 2025 in valuing each Fund's assets. Refer to each Fund's Schedule of Portfolio Investments for detailed information on specific investments.

The Funds have adopted a policy of recording transfers of investment securities between the different levels in the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the quarter.

The Investment Manager, under the direction of the Funds' Board, considers various valuation approaches for valuing assets categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The factors used in determining the value of such assets may include, but are not limited to: the discount applied due to the private nature of the asset; the type of the security; the size of the asset; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security's disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer or analysts; an analysis of the company's or issuer's financial statements; or an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market in which the asset is purchased and sold. Significant changes in any of those inputs in isolation may result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement. The pricing of all fair value assets is normally reported to the Funds' Board.

The following table presents additional information about valuation methodologies and inputs used for assets that are measured at fair value and categorized as level 3 as of December 31, 2025:

6. CREDIT AGREEMENT

The Funds entered into a revolving credit agreement and other related agreements (collectively, as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") with The Huntington National Bank ("HNB"), each Fund's custodian, under which HNB may make loans to the Funds in such amounts as the Funds may from time to time request. The maximum loan amount under the Credit Agreement is the lesser of: (i) $9,000,000 and $6,000,000 for Midas Discovery and Midas Special Opportunities, respectively, or (ii) 30% of a Fund's daily market value, which market value may be decreased by the exclusion of certain Fund assets or asset classes, as HNB may decide from time to time in its sole discretion. Each Fund pledges its securities and other assets as collateral to secure its obligations under the Credit Agreement and each Fund retains the risks and rewards of the ownership of such securities and other assets pledged.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear an interest rate per annum to be applied to the principal balance outstanding, from time to time, equal to the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus 1.28%. An unused fee is charged equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily excess of the maximum loan amount over the outstanding principal balance of the loan. The Funds were charged origination fees and expenses of $12,302 for Midas Discovery and $10,549 for Midas Special Opportunities upon the renewal of the Credit Agreement and such costs are amortized ratably through June 10, 2026, the maturity date of the Credit Agreement.

The outstanding loan balance as of December 31, 2025, and the average daily amount outstanding, maximum amount outstanding, and weighted average interest rate related to the borrowings under the Credit Agreement for the year ended December 31, 2025, were as follows:

7. PORTFOLIO CONCENTRATION

Each Fund operates as a "non-diversified"investment company under the Company Act, which means that the portion of a Fund's assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer and the amount of the outstanding voting securities of a particular issuer held by a Fund are not limited by the Company Act. Each Fund, however, currently intends to continue to conduct its operations so as to qualify as a "regulated investment company" for purposes of the IRC, which currently requires that, at the end of each quarter of the taxable year, with respect to 50% of a Fund's total assets, the Fund limits to 5% the portion of its total assets invested in the securities of a single issuer. There are no such limitations with respect to the balance of a Fund's portfolio, although no single investment can exceed 25% of a Fund's total assets at the time of purchase. A more concentrated portfolio may cause a Fund's NAV to be more volatile and thus may subject shareholders to more risk.

8. CONTINGENCIES

The Funds indemnify officers and trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties for the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which may provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves future claims that may be made against the Funds under circumstances that have not occurred.

9. RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

An Investment in a Fund is Not a Bank Deposit - An investment in a Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or any other government agency. Investing in a Fund is not a complete investment program and you could lose money by investing in a Fund.

Non-Diversification- Each Fund is non-diversified,which means that it is not limited by the Company Act in the proportion of its assets that may be invested in the securities or obligations of a single issuer. As a result, a Fund may hold a smaller number of issuers than if it were diversified. Investing in a non-diversifiedfund could involve more risk than investing in a fund that holds a broader range of securities because changes in the financial condition of a single issuer could cause greater fluctuation in a Fund's total returns.

Leverage - Each Fund may use leverage to the extent permitted under the Company Act. Leveraging (buying securities using borrowed money) exaggerates the effect on NAV of any increase or decrease in the market value of a Fund's investments. Money a Fund borrows for leveraging is limited to 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets. These borrowings would be subject to interest costs that may or may not be offset by income or capital gain from the securities purchased. There can be no assurance that the Fund's use of leverage will be successful.

Foreign Investments - Investments in the securities of foreign issuers involve certain considerations and risks not ordinarily associated with investments in the securities of domestic issuers. Foreign companies are not generally subject to the same accounting, auditing, and financial standards and requirements as those applicable to U.S. companies. Additionally, there may be less publicly available information about a foreign company than a U.S. company. Investments in foreign securities could expose a Fund to the direct or indirect consequences of political, social, or economic changes in the foreign countries where those securities are issued or in which the issuers are located. With respect to certain foreign countries, there are risks of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments that could affect assets of a Fund held in custody in those foreign countries. If the value of any foreign currency in which a Fund's investments are denominated declines relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of a Fund's investments is expected to decline proportionately. In addition, a portfolio that includes foreign securities can expect to have a higher expense ratio because of the increased transaction costs on non-U.S.securities markets and the increased costs of maintaining the custody of foreign securities. A Fund may experience higher levels of each of these risks by investing in emerging (less developed) markets. Further,

geopolitical events may cause market disruptions. For example, the range of long-term political, regulatory, economic and market outcomes in the wake of the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union remain difficult to predict. Ongoing armed conflict in Europe and in the Middle East may cause continued volatility in the securities markets, which could negatively impact a Fund.

Short Selling, Options, and Futures Transactions. Each Fund may engage in short selling, options, and futures transactions to increase returns. There is a risk that these transactions may reduce a Fund's returns or increase volatility. A Fund may incur a loss as a result of a short position if the price of the asset sold short increases in value between the date of the short position sale and the date on which an offsetting position is purchased, plus any premiums or interest paid to the third party. Because a Fund's potential loss on a short position arises from increases in the value of the asset sold short, the extent of such loss, like the price of the asset sold short, is theoretically unlimited. In addition, derivatives, such as options and futures, can be illiquid and highly sensitive to changes in their underlying security, interest rate or index, and as a result can be highly volatile. Derivatives also may be subject to certain other risks such as leverage risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, market risk, credit risk, the risk that a counterparty may be unable or unwilling to honor its obligations, management risk and the risk of mispricing or improper valuation. A small investment in certain derivatives could have a potentially large impact on a Fund's performance.

Sector Risk - To the extent a Fund focuses its investments, from time to time, in a particular sector, the Fund will be subject to a greater degree to the risks specific to that sector. Market conditions, interest rates, and economic, regulatory, or financial developments could significantly affect a single sector to a greater extent than if the Fund's investments were diversified across different sectors.

Growth Securities Risk - Each Fund may invest in companies that the Investment Manager believes have growth potential. Securities of companies perceived to be "growth" companies may be more volatile than other securities and may involve special risks. If the Investment Manager's perception of a company's growth potential is not realized, the securities purchased may not perform as expected, thereby reducing a Fund's returns. In addition, because different types of securities tend to shift in and out of favor depending on market and economic conditions, "growth" securities may perform differently from the market as a whole and other types of securities.

Small Capitalization - Each Fund may invest in companies that are small or thinly capitalized and may have a limited operating history. Investments in small capitalization companies may involve greater risks than investments in larger, more established issuers because they generally are more vulnerable to adverse business or economic developments than stocks of larger companies. The securities of small capitalization companies generally are less liquid and have narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and more limited markets for their stock as compared with larger companies. As a result, the value of such securities may be more volatile than the securities of larger companies. During broad market downturns, a Fund's NAV may fall further than those of funds investing in larger companies. Full development of small capitalization companies takes time, and for this reason, among others, a Fund should be considered a long term investment and not a vehicle for seeking short term profit.

Medium and Large Capitalization - Compared to small capitalization companies, medium and large capitalization companies may be less responsive to business changes and opportunities. At times, the stocks of large capitalization companies may lag other types of stocks in performance. Compared to large capitalization companies, medium capitalization companies may have a shorter history of operations, and may have limited product lines, markets or financial resources.

Pricing - Many factors may influence the price at which a Fund could sell any particular portfolio investment. The sales price may well differ-higher or lower-from a Fund's last valuation, and such differences could be significant, particularly for illiquid securities and securities that trade in relatively thin markets and/or markets that experience extreme volatility. If market conditions make it difficult to value some investments, a Fund may value these investments using more subjective methods, such as fair value pricing. In such cases, the value determined for an investment could be different than the value realized upon such investment's sale. As a result, you could pay more than the market value when buying Fund shares or receive less than the market value when selling Fund shares.

Security Selection - The securities selected for a Fund's portfolio may decline in value. The Investment Manager could be wrong in its analysis of industries, companies, economic trends, the relative attractiveness of different securities, or other matters. As a result, a Fund may underperform the markets, its benchmark index or other funds with the same objective or in the same asset class.

Active Trading - Each Fund may trade securities actively. This strategy could increase transaction costs, reduce performance, and result in increased taxable distributions, which could lower a Fund's after tax performance.

Cybersecurity Risk - With the widespread use of technologies such as the Internet to conduct business, the Funds are susceptible to operational, information security, and related risks. Cyber incidents affecting the Funds or their service providers may cause disruptions and impact business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses, interference with the Funds' ability to calculate their respective NAVs, impediments to trading, the inability of shareholders to transact business, violations of applicable privacy and other laws, regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional related costs.

Market Risk - The market risks associated with investing in a Fund are those related to fluctuations in the value of the investments in a Fund's portfolio. A risk of investing in stocks and other instruments is that their value will go up and down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, reflecting overall economic conditions and other factors and you could lose money. A Fund may invest in emerging

companies, such as start-upsand spin-offs, and special situations, which include companies undergoing unusual or possibly one time developments such as reorganizations or liquidations. These investments may involve above average market price volatility and greater risk of loss. Certain unanticipated events, such as natural disasters, terrorism, war, and other geopolitical events, can have a dramatic adverse effect on the investments held by a Fund.

Recent Market Events - U.S. and international markets have experienced volatility in recent months and years due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors, including elevated inflation levels and wars in Europe and the Middle East. Uncertainties regarding the levels, political events, potential trade restrictions and tariffs, global geopolitical conflicts, and the possibility of a national or global recession have also contributed to market volatility.

Investments in Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Other Precious Metals - Investment in gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals are considered speculative. Midas Discovery's investments can be significantly affected by developments in the precious metals industry and are linked to the prices of gold, silver, platinum, and other precious metals. These prices can be influenced by a variety of global economic, financial, and political factors and may fluctuate substantially over short periods of time and be more volatile than other types of investments. Economic, political, or other conditions affecting one or more of the major sources of gold, silver, platinum, or other precious metals could have a substantial effect on supply and demand in countries throughout the world. Additionally, the majority of such producers are domiciled in a limited number of countries. Moreover, under the federal tax law, to qualify as a regulated investment company (a "RIC"), Midas Discovery may not earn more than 10% of its annual gross income from gains resulting from selling precious metals and certain other non-securitiesrelated sources. Accordingly, Midas Discovery may be required to hold precious metals or securities, sell them at a loss, or sell them at a gain, when, for investment reasons, Midas Discovery would not otherwise do so.

Natural Resources Companies - Midas Discovery is subject to the risks specific to Natural Resource Companies. The profitability of companies primarily involved, directly or indirectly, in the business of mining, processing, fabricating, distributing or otherwise dealing in gold, silver, platinum, other precious metals, or other natural resources ("Natural Resources Companies") can be significantly affected by the supply of and demand for the produced commodities and related services, exploration and production spending and success, government regulations and taxes, international political developments (including outbreaks of war or other hostilities and trade sanctions), and general economic conditions. The operations and financial performance of Natural Resources Companies may be directly affected by the prices of the produced commodities, especially those Natural Resources Companies whose reserves of the commodities are significant assets. The value of securities issued by Natural Resources Companies may also be affected by changes in overall market movements, changes in interest rates, inflation rates, or investor expectations concerning such rates, or factors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as weather, embargoes, tariffs, policies of commodity cartels, and international economic, political, and regulatory developments. In addition, companies in the natural resources industry may be subject to the risks generally associated with extraction of natural resources, such as the risks of mining and oil drilling, and the risks of the hazards associated with natural resources, such as natural or man-madedisasters, fire, drought, liability for environmental damage claims, and increased regulatory and environmental costs. It is possible that the performance of securities of Natural Resources Companies may lag the performance of other industries or the broader market as a whole. The prices of Natural Resources Company stocks may exhibit greater price volatility than other types of stocks.

Depletion and Exploration Risk - Midas Discovery is subject to the risks related to depletion and exploration with respect to Natural Resource Companies. To maintain or increase their revenue level, Natural Resources Companies or their customers need to maintain or expand their reserves and production through exploration, development, acquisitions, or other methods. The financial performance of Natural Resources Companies may be adversely affected if they, or the companies to whom they provide products or services, are unable to cost-effectively expand reserves or production sufficiently to replace current depletion.

Precious Metals Mining Company Risk - The profitability of companies involved in precious metals mining and related activities is significantly affected by changes in the market prices of precious metals. Precious metals mining companies also face risks related to their operations that may affect overall profitability. These risks include the uncertainty and cost of mineral exploration and acquisitions and the uncertainties and unexpected problems and delays in developing mines. In addition, the business of precious metals mining is subject to numerous risks that could adversely impact such companies. These risks include environmental hazards, industrial accidents, underground fires, labor disputes, unexpected geological formations, availability of appropriately skilled persons, unanticipated ground and water conditions, fall of ground accidents, legal and regulatory restrictions, and seismic activity.

Climate Change Risk - Midas Discovery is subject to the special risks associated with climate change. Weather may play a role in the cash flows of the Natural Resources Companies in which Midas Discovery invests. Although many of the companies in the natural resources industry can reasonably predict seasonal weather patterns, extreme weather conditions, such as those that may result from climate change, are unpredictable. The damage done by extreme weather could adversely affect the financial condition of Natural Resources Companies. Additionally, new or strengthened regulations or legislation could increase the operating costs and/or decrease the revenues of Natural Resources Companies.

Concentration - Midas Discovery is subject to industry concentration risk, which is the risk that Midas Discovery's performance can be significantly affected by economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting Natural Resources Companies.

In-KindRedemptions- Midas Discovery may require redeeming shareholders to accept readily tradable gold, silver, platinum, or other precious metals bullion, coins, exchange-traded fund shares, or other Fund holdings in complete or partial payment of redemptions.
