For purposes of this report, the securities in the portfolio have been organized utilizing their respective GICS code. The Fund does not rely exclusively on GICS Industry classifications for purposes of its industry concentration policy. For example, within the Metals & Mining sector, the Fund uses the GICS Sub-Industry classifications, or aggregate thereof as show above, for purposes of determining compliance with its industry concentration policy. In addition, in cases where a holding has been judged to be misclassified by GICS, or has not been classified by GICS, the Fund uses a Fund-determined GICS framework classification.
The Global Industry Classification Standard (GICS®) was developed by and/or is the exclusive property of MSCI, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”). GICS is a service mark of MSCI, Inc. and S&P and has been licensed for use by U.S. Bank Global Fund Services.
More narrow industries are utilized for compliance purposes, whereas broad sectors are utilized for reporting purposes.

AEGIS VALUE FUND
Notes to Financial Statements

1. 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. Prior to December 13, 2019, the shares of the Aegis Funds were issued in multiple series, with each series, in effect, representing a separate fund. Effective at the close of business on December 13, 2019, Class A shares were converted into Class I shares and Class A shares were terminated. 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”.
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 under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining fair value, the Board procedures consider 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 will value 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.
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 shall be 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 shall be 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, 2024:
Investment Valuation – 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 under the supervision of the Board of Trustees.
The valuation assigned to fair valued securities for purposes of calculating the Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) may differ from the security’s most recent closing market price and from the prices used by other mutual funds to calculate their NAVs. 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 will value its foreign securities in U.S. dollars on the basis of the then-prevailing currency exchange rates.
Summary of Fair Value Exposure at June 30, 2024 – 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.

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.

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. 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.

Foreign risk and currency translation. The Fund may invest 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 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

AEGIS VALUE FUND
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2024(Continued)
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. 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.
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.
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, 2024, 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 Advisor on ninety (90) days’ written notice. During the period ended June 30, 2024, the Fund incurred $2,001,422 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, 2025, 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, 2024, the Advisor did not recover or waive fees.
The Fund has agreed to repay the Advisor for amounts waived or reimbursed by the Advisor pursuant to the expense limitation agreement provided that such repayment does not cause the Fund’s expenses, exclusive of taxes, interest, fees incurred in acquiring or disposing of portfolio securities and extraordinary expenses, to exceed 1.50% for Class I and the repayment is made within three years from the month in which the Advisor incurred the expense. As of June 30, 2024, the Fund had recovered all fees that had previously been waived.
Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are also officers of the Advisor. The Fund pays each Trustee not an officer of the Advisor fees in cash or Fund shares of $1,000 for each attended board meeting for the Fund and $500 for each attended audit 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.

5. Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Net Assets
As of June 30, 2024, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) for income tax purposes were as follows:
Tax cost of Investments
$ 284,212,012
Unrealized appreciation of Investments
116,717,418
Unrealized depreciation of Investments
(34,083,115)

Undistributed long term gain
22,570
Distributable earnings (deficit)
754,752
Total accumulated loss
$83,389,055
The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in securities transactions.
The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciations are attributable primarily to PFIC mark to market adjustments and wash sales.
As of December 31, 2023, the Fund has 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, 2023.
As of December 31, 2023, the Fund did not defer on a tax basis, any qualified late year losses.
The tax components of dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, were as follows:

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, 2020, through December 31, 2023. As of and during the year ended December 31, 2023, 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.
