CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements
February 28, 2026
| 1. | Organization |
CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified no-load series of CM Advisors Family of Funds (the “Trust”), which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company.
The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to preserve capital and maximize total return.
| 2. | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services – Investment Companies.” The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Segment Reporting – The Chief Financial Officer of the Trust acts as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM has determined that the Fund has a single operating segment as the CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund as a whole and the Fund’s long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Adviser. The CODM allocates resources and assesses performance based on the operating results of the Fund, which is consistent with the results presented in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments, Statements of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights.
Accounting Pronouncement – In December 2023, the 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. Fund management concludes that there is no impact on the Fund’s financial statements.
Investment Valuation – The Fund’s portfolio securities are generally valued at their market values determined on the basis of available market quotations as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (typically 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). Securities, including common stocks, listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price. Securities which are quoted by NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market unlisted or listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the most recent bid price. To the extent that the Fund is invested in other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, that are registered under the 1940 Act and not traded on an exchange, the Fund’s net asset values (“NAVs”) are calculated based upon the NAVs reported by such registered open-end investment companies; the prospectuses for these registered open-end investment companies explain the circumstances under which they will use fair value pricing and the effects of using fair value pricing. Fixed income securities are typically
12
CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
valued based on prices provided by an independent pricing service. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available (e.g., if the exchange on which the portfolio security is principally traded closes early or if trading of the particular portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to the Fund’s NAV calculation) or which cannot be accurately valued using the Fund’s normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined by Van Den Berg Management I, Inc. (d/b/a CM Fund Advisors) (the “Advisor”), as the Fund’s valuation designee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. Under these procedures, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy (see below), depending on the inputs used. A portfolio security’s “fair value” price may differ from the price next available for that portfolio security using the Fund’s normal pricing procedures.
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
| ● | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities |
| ● | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs |
| ● | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs |
Corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury obligations held by the Fund are classified as Level 2 since values are based on prices provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various “other significant observable inputs” including bid and ask quotations, prices of similar securities and interest rates, among other factors.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure the fair value of a particular security may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement of that security falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a summary of the Fund’s investments and the inputs used to value the investments as of February 28, 2026 by security type:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | |||||||||||||
| Common Stocks | $ | 3,644,614 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 3,644,614 | ||||||||
| Corporate Bonds | — | 22,849,638 | — | 22,849,638 | ||||||||||||
| U.S. Treasury Obligations | — | 2,997,423 | — | 2,997,423 | ||||||||||||
| Money Market Funds | 1,601,762 | — | — | 1,601,762 | ||||||||||||
| Total | $ | 5,246,376 | $ | 25,847,061 | $ | — | $ | 31,093,437 | ||||||||
13
CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Refer to the Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of the securities by asset type and sector and industry type. The Fund did not hold any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of or during the year ended February 28, 2026.
Share Valuation – The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated on each business day by dividing the total value of the Fund’s assets, less liabilities, by the number of shares outstanding. The offering price and redemption price per share of the Fund is equal to the NAV per share.
Investment Transactions and Investment Income – Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is accrued as earned. Discounts and premiums on fixed income securities purchased are amortized using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions – Dividends arising from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly to shareholders of the Fund. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are generally declared and distributed annually. The amount of distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either temporary or permanent in nature and are primarily due to differing treatments of net short-term capital gains. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended February 28, 2026 and 2025 was ordinary income.
Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of change in net assets resulting from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
| 3. | Federal Income Tax |
The Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Qualification generally will relieve the Fund of liability for federal income taxes to the extent 100% of its net investment income and net realized capital gains are distributed in accordance with the Code.
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, it is also the Fund’s intention to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts from prior years.

During the year ended February 28, 2026, the Fund utilized short-term capital loss carryforwards of $6,296, and long-term capital loss carryforwards of $9,152 against current year gains.
As of February 28, 2026, the Fund had short-term capital loss carryforwards of $201,475 and long-term capital loss carryforwards of $2,219,216 for federal income tax purposes. These capital loss carryforwards, which do not expire, may be utilized in future years to offset realized capital gains, if any, prior to distributing such gains to shareholders.
The Fund recognizes the benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (generally, three years) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements.
The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits, as income tax expenses in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended February 28, 2026, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

| 5. | Transactions with Related Parties |
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund pays a monthly management fee to the Advisor calculated at the annual rate of 0.50% of its average daily net assets. The Advisor has entered into an Expense Limitation Agreement (the “ELA”) with the Fund under which it has agreed until July 1, 2027 to waive its fees and to assume other expenses of the Fund, if necessary, in an amount that limits the Fund’s annual operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, other expenditures which are capitalized in accordance with GAAP, other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business, dividend expense on securities sold short, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, and amounts, if any, under a Rule 12b-1 Plan) to not more than 0.87% of its average daily net assets. The ELA cannot be terminated prior to July 1, 2027 without the approval of the Board. Accordingly, during the year ended February 28, 2026, the Advisor did not collect any of its management fees and reimbursed other operating expenses in the amount of $49,327. These fees are not available for recoupment by the Advisor.
Certain Trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of the Advisor and are not compensated by the Fund for serving in such capacities.
OTHER SERVICE PROVIDERS
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“Ultimus”) provides administration, accounting, and transfer agency services to the Fund. The Fund pays Ultimus fees in accordance with the agreements for its services. In addition, the Fund pays out-of-pocket expenses including, but not limited to, postage, supplies and certain costs related to the pricing of its portfolio securities.
Pursuant to the terms of a Distribution Agreement with the Trust, Ultimus Fund Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as the Fund’s principal underwriter. The Distributor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultimus. For the year ended February 28, 2026, the Distributor received $8,000 in fees from the Fund for such services.
COMPENSATION OF TRUSTEES
Trustees and officers affiliated with the Advisor or Ultimus are not compensated by the Fund for their services. Each Trustee who is not an affiliated person of the Advisor or Ultimus receives an annual retainer of $10,000, paid quarterly; a fee of $2,000 for attendance at each in-person meeting of the Board of Trustees; and a fee of $500 for attendance at each telephonic meeting of the Board of Trustees. The Fund reimburses each Trustee and officer for his or her travel and other expenses relating to attendance at Board or committee meetings.
PRINCIPAL HOLDER OF FUND SHARES
A beneficial owner of 25% or more of the Fund’s outstanding shares may be considered a controlling person. That shareholder’s vote could have more significant effect on matters presented at a shareholders’ meeting. As of February 28, 2026, no individual shareholders owned of record 25% or more of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
| 6. | Contingencies and Commitments |
The Fund indemnifies the Trust’s officers and Trustees for certain liabilities that might arise from the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide 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 experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
| 7. | Subsequent Event |
The Fund is required to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed as of the date of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For non-recognized subsequent events that must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading, the Fund is required to disclose the nature of the event as well as an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no such events other than the following:
On April 1, 2026, the Fund paid an ordinary income dividend of $0.1835 per share to shareholders of record on March 30, 2026.

To the Shareholders of CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund and
Board of Trustees of CM Advisors Family of Funds
Opinion on the Financial Statements

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 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.
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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2023.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
The Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of CM Advisors Family of Funds (the “Trust”), including the Trustees who are not “interested persons,” as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”) voting separately, has reviewed and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) by and between the Trust, on behalf of the CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund (the “Fund”), and CM Fund Advisors (the “Advisor”) for an additional annual term. This approval took place at a meeting held by telephonically via video conference (due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic in reliance on the exemptive relief granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission regarding certain in-person voting requirements) on February 23, 2026 (the “Meeting”), at which all the Trustees, including all the Independent Trustees, were present.
During their deliberations, the Board was advised by legal counsel and reviewed a substantial amount of information provided by the Advisor in response to requests of the Board and legal counsel.
In deciding whether to approve continuation of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees noted their review of the materials related to the Fund and the Advisor throughout the past year and their various discussions with Trust management and the Advisor with respect to the operations and performance of the Fund during that time. The Trustees further considered those materials and discussions and numerous other factors, including:
The nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor. In this regard, the Trustees considered the services being provided by the Advisor to the Fund including, without limitation, its investment advisory services during the previous twelve-month period, its coordination of services for the Fund among the Fund’s various service providers, its compliance procedures and practices, and its efforts to promote the Fund and assist in its distribution. Further, the Trustees noted that the Trust’s president, secretary, treasurer, CCO, principal executive officer, and principal financial officer are employees of the Advisor and they each serve the Trust without additional compensation from the Fund. Following consideration of all this information as well as additional material provided by the Advisor, the Board concluded that the quality, extent, and nature of the services provided by the Advisor are satisfactory and adequate for the Fund.
The investment performance of the Fund and the Advisor. In this regard, the Board compared the short-term and long-term performance of the Fund with the performance of its primary and secondary benchmark indexes and custom peer group of comparable funds managed by other advisors. The Trustees concluded that the Advisor had reasonably explained the Fund’s performance results. In addition, the Trustees considered the consistency of the Advisor’s management of the Fund with the Fund’s
19
CM Advisors Fixed Income Fund
Additional Information (Unaudited) (Continued)
investment objective and policies. After discussion of the Fund’s short-term and long-term investment performance, the Advisor’s experience in managing the Fund, and other factors, the Board determined that the investment performance of the Fund and the Advisor has been satisfactory.
The costs of the services provided and profits realized by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund. With respect to this matter, the Board considered the Advisor’s staffing, personnel, and methods of operating; the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures; the Advisor’s financial condition as well as its level of commitment to the Fund; the level of commitment by the principals of the Advisor; the Fund’s asset levels; the Fund’s overall expenses; the Advisor’s estimated costs in managing the Fund and the corresponding profitability to the Advisor for managing the Fund; the Advisor’s statements at the Meeting with respect to its continued support for the operation of the Fund; and the differences in fees and services provided to the Advisor’s other clients that may be similar to the Fund. Further, the Board considered the Expense Limitation Agreement of the Fund with the Advisor and reviewed the Advisor’s current and past fee waivers and expense reimbursements for the Fund under the Expense Limitation Agreement.
The Trustees then noted the potential benefits to the Advisor in managing the Fund, such as promotion of the Advisor’s name and the ability of the Advisor to place small accounts into the Fund. In addition, the Trustees compared the fees and expenses of the Fund and comparable funds, noting the differences in the types of funds being compared, the style of investment management, the size of comparable funds and the nature of the investment strategies. Further, the Trustees compared the fees paid by the Fund to the fees paid by other clients of the Advisor and, keeping in mind the limitations of comparing different types of managed accounts and the different levels of service typically associated with such accounts, observed that the fee structures applicable to the Advisor’s other clients utilizing similar strategies were not indicative of any unreasonableness regarding the advisory fees proposed to be payable by the Fund. After making these comparisons and upon further consideration and discussion of the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the expected profit, if any, to be realized by the Advisor in connection with the management of the Fund for the next year is not unreasonable and that the management fees paid to the Advisor by the Fund are reasonable in light of the nature and quality of services provided by the Advisor.
The extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether management fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund’s investors. With respect to this matter, the Board noted that the fee arrangement of the Fund with the Advisor involves both a management fee and an Expense Limitation Agreement. The Trustees stated that the Fund has experienced benefits from the Expense Limitation Agreement throughout the years, and noted that the Advisor has indicated its intention to continue the Expense Limitation Agreement for another term. The Trustees further noted that, although the management fee rate would remain the same at all asset levels, the Fund would likely benefit from economies of scale under its agreements with service providers other than the Advisor. Following further discussion of the asset level of the Fund and expectations for growth and levels of fees, the Board determined that, at the Fund’s current and projected asset levels for the next year, the Fund’s fee arrangements with the Advisor were reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services being provided by the Advisor to the Fund.

The Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions. With respect to this matter, the Board reviewed the Advisor’s standards, and performance in utilizing those standards, to seek best execution for portfolio transactions for the Fund. The Board noted that the fixed income portfolio transactions of the Fund are generally principal transactions executed in over-the-counter markets on a net basis. Additionally, the Trustees considered the historical portfolio turnover rates for the Fund; the process by which evaluations are made of the overall reasonableness of any commissions paid; the method and basis for selecting and evaluating the broker-dealers used; any anticipated allocation of portfolio business to persons affiliated with the Advisor; and the extent to which the Fund allocates portfolio business to broker-dealers who provide research, statistical or other services (“soft dollars”). After further discussion, the Trustees concluded that the Advisor’s practices regarding brokerage and portfolio transactions were satisfactory.
Possible conflicts of interest. In evaluating the possibility for conflicts of interest, the Trustees reviewed such factors as the experience and abilities of the advisory personnel assigned to the Fund; the basis of decisions to buy or sell securities for the Fund and/or the Advisor’s other accounts; the method for the bunching of portfolio securities transactions; and the substance and administration of the Advisor’s code of ethics. Following further consideration and discussion, the Board concluded that the Advisor’s standards and practices regarding the identification and mitigation of potential conflicts of interests to be satisfactory.
Conclusion. After additional discussion of the factors stated above and in reliance on the information provided by the Advisor and Trust management and considering the totality of all factors discussed and information presented at the Meeting and previous meetings, the Board indicated its agreement to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement. It was noted that in the Trustees’ deliberations with respect to the approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement no single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision of the Trustees to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, and that each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors noted above. After consideration of the above factors as well as other factors, the Board unanimously determined that approval of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
