For the fiscal year ending November 30, 2025, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P Energy Select Sector Index, but underperformed the broader-based S&P 500 Index. The Fund capitalized on favorable conditions across key energy sectors. Positive contributors to performance included investments in power generation, electrical power equipment and manufacturing, refining and marketing, gas utilities, and diversified industrials. These sectors benefited from surging demand for reliable power infrastructure driven by AI data centers and increasing electricity demands, supporting policy shifts with the new administration, and operational efficiencies in equipment and services, delivering positive returns.
However, challenges and detractors from performance emerged in exploration and production as well as midstream oil and gas, which faced headwinds from volatile oil prices, production oversupply, and compressed margins in certain cyclical areas, contributing to weaker performance relative to other energy segments. In contrast, the S&P 500's broader diversification, including significant contributions from high performing technology and consumer sectors, allowed it to surpass energy-focused strategies like the Fund.
Despite this disparity, the Fund's strategic sector allocation and active investment decisions enabled it to navigate market volatility and outperform the S&P 500 Energy Select Sector Index. This demonstrates the benefits of a targeted approach to the energy market, while also highlighting the trade-offs of a more concentrated strategy compared to the broader market. These results reflect the Fund's resilience in addressing market challenges and its ability to align with prevailing trends in the energy sector.

| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS | NOVEMBER 30, 2025 |
Note 1 - Organization
Spirit of America Energy Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Spirit of America Investment Fund, Inc. (the "Company"), is an open-end mutual fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Company was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on May 15, 1997. The Company offers six separate series, or mutual funds (the "Spirit of America Funds"), each with its own investment objective and strategy. The Fund commenced operations on July 10, 2014. The investment objective of the Fund is to provide investors with long-term capital appreciation and current income.
The Fund currently offers Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Institutional Shares. Each class of shares for the Fund has identical rights and privileges except with respect to distribution (12b-1) and service fees, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, exchange privileges of each class of shares and sales charges. The price at which the Fund will offer or redeem shares is the net asset value ("NAV") per share next determined after the order is considered received, subject to any applicable front end or contingent deferred sales charges. Class A Shares have a maximum sales charge on purchases of 5.75% as a percentage of the original purchase price. A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% may be imposed on redemptions of Class A Shares that were purchased within one year of the redemption date where an indirect commission was paid. A CDSC of 1.00% on Class C Shares applies to shares sold within 13 months of purchase.
The Fund has adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is the President and Principal Executive Officer of the Fund. The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
Note 2 - Significant Accounting Policies
The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, "Financial Services-Investment Companies". The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for investment companies.
New Accounting Pronouncement: In December 2023, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Fund Management is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the Fund's financial statements.
A. Security Valuation: The offering price and NAV per share for the Fund are calculated as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), currently 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The Fund's securities are valued at the official close or the last reported sales price on the principal exchange on which the security trades, or if no sales price is reported, the mean of the latest bid and asked prices is used. Securities traded over-the-counter are priced at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. Unlisted securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued using an evaluated quote provided by the independent pricing service, or, if an evaluated quote is unavailable, such securities are valued using prices received from dealers, provided that if the dealer supplies both bid and ask prices, the price to be used is the mean of the bid and asked prices. The independent pricing service derives an evaluated quote by obtaining dealer quotes, analyzing the listed markets, reviewing trade execution data and employing sensitivity analysis. Evaluated quotes may also reflect appropriate factors such as individual characteristics of the issue, communications with broker-dealers, and other market data. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") has designed
| ENERGY FUND | 11 |
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.) | NOVEMBER 30, 2025 |
Spirit of America Management Corp., the Company's investment adviser, as the Company's Valuation Designee, to perform any fair value determinations for securities and other assets held by the Fund for which market quotations are not readily available in accordance with the Company's Valuation Procedures.
B. Fair Value Measurements: Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of investments which are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 - | Inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| ● | Level 2 - | Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
| ● | Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available (including the Fund's own assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments). |
The summary of inputs used to value the Fund's investments as of November 30, 2025 is as follows:
| Valuation Inputs | ||||||||||||||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
| Assets: | ||||||||||||||||
| Master Limited Partnerships - Common Stocks1 | $ | 24,439,928 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 24,439,928 | ||||||||
| Common Stocks1 | 122,142,273 | - | - | 122,142,273 | ||||||||||||
| Money Market Funds | 4,620,252 | - | - | 4,620,252 | ||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 151,202,453 | $ | - | $ | - | $ | 151,202,453 | ||||||||
| 1 | Refer to Schedule of Investments for sector/industry classification. |
The Fund did not hold any investments at any time during the reporting period in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period.
C. Security Transactions and Related Income: The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statement and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method, if applicable.
D. Federal Income Taxes: The Fund intends to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
E. Use of Estimates: In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F. Distributions to Shareholders: The Board has set a distribution policy in which the Fund pays fixed rate distributions to shareholders in two payments; one in May and one in November, all or a portion of which is expected to be characterized as return of capital. Return of capital distributions will generally not be taxable to the shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The final determination of the amount of the Fund's return of capital distributions for the period will be made after the end of each calendar year.
| 12 | SPIRIT OF AMERICA |
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.) | NOVEMBER 30, 2025 |
G. Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses: Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Note 3 - Derivative Transactions
Written Options Contracts - The Fund may write options contracts for which premiums received are recorded as liabilities and are subsequently adjusted to the current value of the options written. Premiums received from writing options which expire are treated as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are either exercised or closed are offset against the proceeds received or the amount paid on the transaction to determine realized gains or losses. Investing in written options contracts exposes the Fund to equity price risk.
The Fund did not hold any derivatives at November 30, 2025.
Note 4 - Purchases and Sales of Securities
Purchases and proceeds from the sales of securities for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, excluding short-term investments, were $10,196,736 and $66,603,855, respectively.
There were no purchases or sales of long-term U.S. Government Obligations during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025.
Note 5 - Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates+
Spirit of America Management Corp. (the "Adviser") has been retained to act as the Fund's investment adviser pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Advisory Agreement"). The Adviser was incorporated in 1997 and is a registered investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee of 1/12 of 0.95% of the Fund's average daily net assets. Investment advisory fees for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025 were $1,666,734.
The Fund has adopted a Plan of Distribution (the "12b-1 Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The 12b-1 Plan permits the Fund or share class, as applicable, to pay David Lerner Associates, Inc. (the "Distributor") from its own assets for the Distributor's services and expenses in distributing shares of the Fund ("12b-1 fees") and providing personal services and/or maintaining shareholder accounts ("service fees"). The Fund's Class A Shares pay a 12b-1 fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of average daily net assets. With respect to Class C Shares, the fee paid to the Distributor by the Fund is 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Class C Shares. Of this amount, 0.75% represents distribution fees and 0.25% represents shareholder servicing fees paid to the Distributor or to institutions that have agreements with the Distributor to provide such services. Each class of shares of the Fund has exclusive voting rights with respect to its 12b-1 Plan. Since 12b-1 fees are paid out of the assets of the respective share class of the Fund on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than paying other types of sales charges. The Fund's Institutional Class Shares do not have a 12b-1 Plan. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, fees paid to the Distributor under the 12b-1 Plan were $434,553 for Class A Shares and $15,759 for Class C Shares.
The Fund's Class A Shares are subject to an initial sales charge imposed at the time of purchase, in accordance with the Fund's current prospectus. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, sales charges received by the Distributor were $489,292. CDSC fees collected for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025 were $18 for Class A Shares and $6 for Class C Shares.
Certain Officers and Directors of the Company are "affiliated persons", as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, of the Adviser or the Distributor. Each Director of the Company, who is not an affiliated person of the Adviser or Distributor, receives a quarterly retainer of $6,000, $1,500 for each Board meeting attended, $500 for each special meeting attended, and $500 for each committee meeting attended plus reimbursement for certain travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending Board meetings. The Company does not compensate the Officers directly for the services they provide. There are no Directors' fees paid to affiliated Directors of the Company. For the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund was allocated $7,343 of the Chief Compliance Officer's salary.
| ENERGY FUND | 13 |
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.) | NOVEMBER 30, 2025 |
A Director Emeritus (formerly an independent Director) of the Company is associated with the insurance agency utilized by the Fund. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund paid such insurance agency $39,977 of insurance premiums.
Note 6 - Concentration and Other Risks
The Fund concentrates its investments in securities and other assets of energy and energy related companies. A fund that invests primarily in a particular sector could experience greater volatility than funds investing in a broader range of industries. Due to the fact the Fund normally invests at least 80% of its assets in the securities of companies principally engaged in activities in the energy industry, the Fund's performance largely depends on the overall condition of the energy industry. The energy industry could be adversely affected by energy prices, supply-and-demand for energy resources, and various political, regulatory, and economic factors. Investments in securities of MLPs involve risks that differ from investments in common stock, including risks related to limited control and limited rights to vote on matters affecting the MLP, risks related to potential conflicts of interest between the MLP and the MLP's general partner, cash flow risks, dilution risks and risks related to the general partner's right to require unit holders to sell their common units at an undesirable time or price. The Fund's prospectus contains this and other information about the Fund and should be read carefully before investing.
Note 7 - Federal Income Taxes

| Net unrealized appreciation on investments | $ | 55,401,690 | ||
| Cost basis of investments | $ | 95,800,763 | ||

| Unrealized appreciation on investments and foreign currency | 55,401,975 | |||
| Total accumulated earnings (deficit) | $ | 47,956,248 | ||
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2025, the Fund utilized $25,933,659 of available short-term capital loss carryforwards and $53,943,966 of available short-term capital loss carryforwards expired.
At November 30, 2025, for federal income tax purposes and the treatment of distributions payable, the Fund had $7,445,727 of short-term capital loss carryforwards available to offset future gains, to the extent provided by the Treasury regulations.
| 14 | SPIRIT OF AMERICA |
| NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONT.) | NOVEMBER 30, 2025 |
Management of the Fund has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last three tax year ends and the interim tax period since then).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of Spirit of America Energy Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Spirit of America Energy Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Spirit of America Investment Fund, Inc., including the schedule of investments, as of November 30, 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, 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 Fund as of November 30, 2025, 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 are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the Fund's auditor since 1998.
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 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, 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 November 30, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
