THE ORGANIZATION
The
Aegis Funds (comprised of the Aegis Value Fund) (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940
Act”) as a diversified open- end management investment company. The Fund’s principal investment goal is to seek long-term
capital appreciation by investing primarily in common stocks that are believed to be significantly undervalued relative to the market
based on a company’s book value, revenues, or cash flow.
2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As
an investment company, as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update 2013-08, the
Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, “Financial Services –
Investment Companies”.
Management
has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect
to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Fund(s). The Fund operates as a single
segment entity. The Fund’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer act as the Fund’s chief operating decision
maker (CODM). The financial information used by the CODM to assess performance and allocate resources, including total return, expense
ratios, assets, and portfolio composition, is consistent with that presented within the portfolio’s financial statements and financial
highlights.
Security
valuation. Investments in securities are valued based on market quotations or on
data furnished by an independent pricing service. Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the
NASDAQ National Market) are stated at the last reported sales price or a market’s official close price on the day of valuation;
other securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at
the last close price, or the average of bid and ask price for NASDAQ National Market securities. Short-term (less than 60 days maturity)
notes are stated at amortized cost, which is equivalent to value. Restricted securities, securities for which market quotations are not
readily available, and securities with market quotations that Aegis Financial Corporation (the “Advisor”) does not believe
are reflective of market value are valued at fair value as determined by the Advisor, as the valuation designee, under the oversight of
the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining fair value, the Advisor considers all relevant qualitative and quantitative
factors available. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. The values assigned to fair value investments
are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend
on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Further, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values
may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences
could be material. Where a security is traded in more than one market, which may include foreign markets, the securities are generally
valued on the market considered by the Advisor to be the primary market. The Fund values its foreign securities in U.S. dollars on the
basis of the then-prevailing currency exchange rates.
In
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), fair value is defined as
the price that the Fund would receive to sell an investment or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with an independent
buyer in the principal market, or in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the investment or liability.
GAAP establishes a three-tier hierarchy to distinguish between (1) inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would
use in pricing an asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable
inputs) and (2) inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in
pricing an asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs) and to establish
classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s
investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
|
Level 1 –
|
quoted prices in active markets for identical
securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide
pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Aegis
Value Fund
Notes
to Financial Statements
June
30, 2026 (Unaudited)(Continued)
|
Level 2 –
|
other significant observable inputs (including
quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.), quoted prices for identical or similar assets
in markets that are not active, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment
to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement. |
|
Level 3 –
|
significant unobservable inputs, including
the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. |
Common
stocks, preferred stocks and warrants. Securities traded or dealt in one or more
domestic securities exchanges, excluding the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”),
and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued on the business day as of which such value is being determined at the close
of the exchange representing the principal market for such securities at the last quoted sales price or in the absence of a sale, at the
mean of the last bid and asked prices. Securities traded or dealt in the NASDAQ and not subject to restrictions against resale are valued
in accordance with the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market for which there were no transactions
on a particular day are valued at the mean of the last bid and asked prices. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation
adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Stocks traded on inactive markets or valued
by reference to similar instruments are categorized in Level 2.
The
inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2026:

When
market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined in good faith under
procedures approved by the Board. If events occur that will affect the value of the Fund’s portfolio securities before the net asset
value (“NAV”) has been calculated (a “significant event”), the security will generally be priced using a fair
value procedure. If a foreign (non-U.S.) equity security’s value has materially changed after the close of the security’s
primary exchange or principal market but before the NYSE Close, the security may be valued at fair value. Foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities
that do not trade when the NYSE is open may also be valued at fair value. With respect to foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities, the Fund
may determine the fair value of investments based on information provided by a pricing service, which may recommend fair value or adjustments
with reference to other securities, indexes or assets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values,
the valuation designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of
U.S. securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the NYSE Close. The Fund may utilize
modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of foreign (non-U.S.) securities. For these purposes, unless otherwise
determined by the valuation designee, any movement in the

Notes

applicable
reference index or instrument (“zero trigger”) between the earlier close of the applicable foreign market and the NYSE Close
may be deemed to be a significant event, prompting the application of the pricing model (effectively resulting in daily fair valuations).
Foreign exchanges may permit trading in foreign (non-U.S.) equity securities on days when the Trust is not open for business, which may
result in the Fund’s portfolio investments being affected when shareholders are unable to buy or sell shares. The Board has adopted
specific procedures for valuing portfolio securities and delegated the responsibility of fair value determinations to the Advisor, as
the Fund’s valuation designee. In determining the fair value of an investment, the Advisor seeks, in conjunction with the valuation
methodology used pursuant to the procedures approved by the Board, to take into account the relevant factors and surrounding circumstances,
which may include as appropriate and among other factors: (i) the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; (ii) whether any
dealer quotations for the security are available; (iii) the price and extent of trading similar securities of comparable companies; (iv)
the political and economic environment and government actions or pronouncements; (v) any special reports prepared by analysts; and (vi)
the extent to which the fair value to be determined for the security will result from the use of data or formula produced by the third
parties independent of the Advisor.
The
following is a reconciliation of the Fund’s Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine
fair value for the period ended June 30, 2026:

Foreign
risk and currency translation. The Fund invests directly in foreign securities.
Financial market fluctuations in any country where the Fund has investments will likely affect the value of the securities that the Fund
owns in that country. These movements will affect the Fund’s share price and investment performance. The political, economic, and
social structures of some countries may be less stable and more volatile than those in the United States. The risks of investing in foreign
markets include currency fluctuations, possible nationalization or expropriation of assets, extraordinary taxation or exchange controls,
political or social instability, unfavorable diplomatic developments, and certain custody and settlement risks. In addition to these risks,
many foreign markets have less trading volume and less liquidity than the U.S. markets, and therefore prices in foreign markets can be
highly volatile.
Foreign
markets may also have less protection for investors than the U.S. markets. Foreign issuers may be subject to less government supervision.
It may also be difficult to enforce legal and shareholder/bondholder rights in foreign countries. There is no assurance that the Fund
will be able to anticipate these risks or counter their effects.
The
accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current
rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses
are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective date of these transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion
of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in
market prices of securities held. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
Reported
net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, currency
gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends,
interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received
or paid. Net unrealized foreign currency gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than
investments in

securities
at each reporting period, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. These fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized
gains or losses from investments.
Federal
income and excise taxes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements
of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all
investment company taxable income and net capital gain to shareholders in a manner that results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore,
no federal income tax provision is required.
Distributions
to shareholders. Distributions to the Fund’s shareholders, which are determined
in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions of net investment income, if any, are made
at least annually for the Fund. Net realized gains from investment transactions, if any, will be distributed to shareholders annually.
The
character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gain may differ from the characterization for
federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain/(loss) items for financial statement and
tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.
Use
of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security
Transactions, Income and Expenses. The Fund records security transactions based
on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.
The specific identification method is used to determine book and tax cost basis when calculating realized gains and losses. Dividend income
is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and
amortization of premiums. Distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are recorded as ordinary income, net
realized capital gain or return of capital based on information reported by the REITs and management’s estimates of such amounts
based on historical information. These estimates are adjusted when the actual source of distributions is disclosed by the REITs and actual
amounts may differ from the estimated amounts. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s
understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The Fund records estimated amounts recoverable from foreign tax authorities
as reclaims, which are included in dividend tax withholding on the Statement of Operations.
Indemnifications.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations, 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.
Significant
Concentrations. The Fund maintains a demand deposit in excess of Federal Deposit
Insurance Company (“FDIC”) Insurance limits. As a result, the Fund is exposed to credit risk in the event of insolvency or
other failure of the institution to meet its obligations. The Fund manages this risk by dealing with a major financial institution and
monitoring its credit worthiness.

Accounting Disclosure. Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to
Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”): Adoption of the new standard by the Fund’s financial position or results of

by the Fund for the year were determined to not be significant.
3.
ADVISORY FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The
Fund entered into an investment management and advisory services agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Advisor that provides
for a fee, computed daily and paid monthly at the annual rate of 1.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Agreement shall
remain in force through December 31, 2026, and may be renewed for additional one-year periods thereafter if approved annually by
a majority of the independent members of the Board. The Agreement may be terminated at any time, without penalty, by the Fund on sixty
(60) days’ written notice or by the
TABLE OF CONTENTS

Advisor
on ninety (90) days’ written notice. During the period ended June 30, 2026, the Fund incurred $7,503,714 in investment advisory
fees. The Fund and the Advisor have also entered into an expense limitation agreement which shall remain in force through April 30,
2027, that provides for an advisory fee waiver and expense reimbursement from the Advisor if the Fund’s expenses, exclusive of taxes,
interest, fees incurred in acquiring or disposing of portfolio securities, and extraordinary expenses, exceeds 1.50% for the Class I,
of the Fund’s average daily net assets. During the period ended June 30, 2026, the Advisor did not recover or waive fees.
Certain
officers and Trustees of the Fund are also officers of the Advisor. The Fund pays each Trustee who is not an officer of the Advisor fees
in cash or Fund shares of $2,500 for each attended board meeting for the Fund, $2,500 for each attended audit committee meeting for the
Fund, and $500 for each attended nominating and corporate governance committee meeting for the Fund. In addition, the Fund reimburses
the Advisor for chief compliance officer services, a yearly amount of $50,000 paid on a quarterly basis.

The
difference between book and tax-basis is attributable to adjustments on passive foreign investment companies (PFICs).
As
of December 31, 2025, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards. The Fund did not utilize short term capital loss carryovers, and
long-term capital loss carryovers during the year ended December 31, 2025.
As
of December 31, 2025, the Fund did not defer on a tax basis, any qualified late year losses.
On
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book to tax differences, certain amounts have been reclassified for
the year ended December 31, 2025. The reclassifications were primarily a result of the utilization of earnings and profits on redemption
of shares as part of the dividends paid deductions.

GAAP
requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine
whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on technical merits, have a more than fifty percent
likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not”
recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest
and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an interest expense in the Statement of Operations.
GAAP
requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years, as defined by IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including
federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. Open tax years include the tax years ended December 31, 2022, through
December 31, 2025. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized
tax benefits. The Fund files U.S. federal income and excise tax returns, as required. The Fund’s federal income tax returns are
subject to examination by the IRS for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. The Fund has no examination in progress and
is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change in the next twelve months.

Basis
for the Board’s Approval of Advisory Agreement
At
a meeting held on February 17, 2026, the Board considered and approved the advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) between
the Aegis Value Fund (“Fund”) and Aegis Financial Corporation (“AFC”). The Board based its approval of the Agreement
on its review of information provided by AFC. Such information included information provided by AFC in response to a request for information
made pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act (the “Section 15(c) Information”). In its deliberations on the Agreement,
the Board considered the Section 15(c) Information provided to it by AFC and contained in the Board materials. The Board did not
identify any particular aspect of the Section 15(c) information that was all important or controlling and evaluated all information
available to it. The Board concluded that the terms of the Agreement are appropriate, that the fees to be paid by the Fund are reasonable
in light of the services to be provided to the Fund and that the Agreement should be renewed. In approving the renewal of the Agreement,
the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered and reached the following conclusions with respect to the following factors.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Aegis

OTHER
INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued)
|
A.
|
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided
by AFC |
The
Trustees reviewed and considered the scope of services provided by AFC to the Fund as well as the nature and quality of these services.
The Trustees evaluated information concerning AFC’s discretionary investment advisory services and AFC’s compliance policies
and procedures. They considered information regarding AFC’s resources and compensation arrangements, including its in-house research
and portfolio management support capabilities. On the basis of these and other factors, the Trustees determined that the scope, nature
and quality of the services provided by AFC to the Fund are consistent with its duties under the Agreement and appropriate and consistent
with the investment program of the Fund and concluded that the nature and quality of services provided by AFC to the Fund are appropriate.
|
B.
|
The Investment Performance of the Fund |
The
Trustees reviewed information prepared by AFC and Fund Services comparing the Fund’s performance with the performance of its benchmark
and the performance of comparable funds. The Trustees considered that some of the information provided to them was derived from information
made available by Morningstar (an independent research service) and some of the information was derived from information provided by the
Fund’s administrator (i.e., information regarding the performance of the Fund for the 1-year,
3-year, 5-year, 10-year and since inception periods ended December 31, 2025).
The
Trustees noted that during the one-year period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund’s shares had returned 67.07%. They noted that the
Fund’s primary benchmark index, the S&P 500 index, and the Fund’s secondary benchmark index, the S&P SmallCap 600
Pure Value index, had returned 17.88% and 8.83%, respectively, during the same period. They also noted that:
For
the three-year period ended December 31, 2025, the Fund’s shares had an average annual total return of 27.41% and the average three-year
annual total return for the S&P 500 and S&P SmallCap 600 Pure Value indices were 23.01% and 12.31%, respectively; for the five-year
period, the Fund’s shares had an average annual total return of 25.77%, versus the average annual total return for the indices of
14.42% and 14.21%, respectively; for the ten-year period, the Fund’s shares had an average annual total return of 22.82%, versus
the average annual total return for the indices of 14.82% and 9.65%, respectively; and since May 15, 1998 through December 31, 2025, the
Fund’s shares had returned an average annual total return of 12.65% versus 8.77% and 8.65% for the S&P 500 and S&P SmallCap
600 Pure Value indices, respectively.
|
C.
|
AFC Profitability and Other Benefits |
The
Trustees reviewed AFC’s draft fiscal year 2025 income statement and balance sheet. They considered information provided by AFC with
respect to (i) the profitability to the Advisor of managing the Fund, (ii) to the extent applicable, the level of the Fund’s net
assets and expenses reimbursed by the Advisor under the Fund’s Expense Limitation Agreement, and (iii) other benefits accruing to
AFC as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the soft dollar benefits and the fact that the Fund’s public performance
record may at times attract inquiries regarding AFC’s advisory services and may result in the acquisition of new advisory clients
for AFC.
The
Trustees determined that the Advisor’s profitability and other benefits, including soft dollars, to the Advisor from providing advisory
services to the Fund are reasonable and would not preclude them from approving the renewal of the Agreement.
The
Trustees reviewed information regarding economies of scale and other efficiencies resulting from increases, if any, in the Fund’s
asset levels and whether the existing advisory fee arrangement might require adjustment or breakpoints. The Trustees determined that the
Fund has realized some degree of economies of scale, however, operational leverage has been tempered by additional complexity and costs
arising from managing a larger fund, which are likely to materially offset scale benefits over time. Under the current circumstances,
the Trustees determined that changes to the advisory fee arrangement to address economies of scale were not warranted at the time of the
meeting.
|
E.
|
Comparisons of the Services Rendered and
Fee Amounts |
The
Trustees reviewed the advisory fee paid to AFC and the Fund’s overall gross expense ratio and net expense ratio and considered whether
the advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services likely provided and the fees charged by other advisers to the small cap value
funds currently tracked by Morningstar (“Small Cap Value Peer Group
TABLE OF CONTENTS
Aegis
Value Fund
OTHER
INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued)
Funds”)
and to natural resource funds currently tracked by Morningstar (“Natural Resource Peer Group Funds”). In evaluating the Fund’s
advisory fee, the Trustees took into account the demands, complexity and quality of the investment management of the Fund. They noted
that it is not anticipated that the research process, portfolio composition methodology or general investment strategy will materially
change.
The
Trustees considered that the Fund paid AFC an advisory fee of 1.20% of average daily net assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 and
that other expenses of the Fund were capped at 0.30%, for a total net expense ratio of 1.50% for the Fund. They considered information
reflecting that the Fund’s actual gross expense ratio for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 1.36%, and for the year ended December
31, 2024 was 1.45% of average daily net assets. During 2025, AFC did not recoup any fees and did not waive any fees under the Expense
Limitation Agreement between the Fund and AFC. Previously, AFC had recouped $0 in 2024. They also noted the Advisor’s commitment
to continue the expense limitation for an additional term.
The
Trustees considered information showing that the median net expense ratio of the Small Cap Value Peer Group Funds is 1.08% and Natural
Resource Peer Group Funds is 1.07%. They reviewed information showing that the median management fee percentage of the Small Cap Value
Peer Group Funds is 0.80%, with an average size of the funds being approximately $377 million, and the Natural Resource Peer Group Funds
is 0.77%, with an average size of the funds being approximately $218 million. They considered information showing that the median net
expense ratio (less 12b-1 fees) for the Small Cap Value Peer Group Funds was 0.83% and for the Natural Resource Peer Group Funds was 0.82%.
They also considered information concerning the fees charged by the Advisor to its managed accounts and the strategies employed for those
accounts. Additionally, the Trustees considered the differences between the services provided by the Advisor to those accounts and to
the Fund.
The
Trustees concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee was reasonable in light of the services provided by AFC and concluded that the Fund’s
overall expense ratio was reasonable.
