Message to Our Shareholders

The world experienced significant changes over the past 12 months, but investors took it all in stride as most of the world's major capital markets continued to march upward. The U.S. equity market generated a double-digit return for the 12 month period ending March 31, 2017 with the S&P 500 Index and Russell 3000 Index producing returns of 17.17% and 18.07%, respectively. Meanwhile bond markets experienced more dispersion in performance based on credit quality as more speculative issues, which were perhaps oversold in early 2016, rebounded strongly during the year. The Bank of America ML U.S. High Yield Master II Index, a fixed income index designed to track lower quality, non-investment grade bonds, produced a return of 16.88% while investment grade bonds, which are more dependent on the future direction of interest rates, were relatively flat for the year as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate return of 0.44%. Equity markets outside of the U.S. also produced a strong showing for the past 12 months ending March 31, 2017 as global economic data has been consistently improving, particularly near the end of the period. In December, the European Central Bank announced that it would dial back its monthly bond buying program beginning in April 2017 from 80 billion euros ($86 billion U.S.) a month to 60 billion euros ($64.5 billion U.S.) a month until at least December 2017. And with the tapering of the buying program in effect, underlying sovereign interest rates are starting to increase. For example, the yield on Germany's 10-year government bond more than doubled, rising 18 basis points year to date to 0.39%. But even with the doubling of the yield on the German Bund, foreign buyers continue to struggle to find attractive absolute yield within the Eurozone. In fact, strong foreign investment in U.S. Treasuries has kept a lid on government bond yields through March 31, 2017. With that said, the consensus expectation is that the yield on the 10-year Treasury will be in a range of 3.00% to 3.50% by calendar year-end (compared to 2.37% as we write this update), but that expectation is dependent on the economy continuing to be strong, and assumes the Fed will continue to follow its plan of two additional rate increases before year-end. However, as reported at the end of April, the initial Gross Domestic Product for the first quarter of 2017 only increased at an annualized rate of 0.7%, which is the slowest pace since the first quarter of 2014 and could cast doubt on additional Fed Fund increases for this year.

With interest rates likely to remain low by historical standards, investors may continue to seek capital appreciation in the equity markets, now in the eighth year of the current bull market. As we write this update, geopolitical risks seem to become more elevated by the week, as President Trump keeps the world guessing about what United States foreign policy will look like over the next several years. Additionally,

key elections in Europe continue to put pressure on multi-national companies, as the populous vote moves away from Globalism toward one that embraces Nationalism. Closer to home, the on again, off again healthcare reform decision is casting doubt about whether Republicans will also be able to act upon President Trump's pro-growth agenda of infrastructure spending and tax reform. As of May, Congress had just three months to address tax reform and an infrastructure plan before another full month's recess in August. It has been more than 35 years since any major tax reform has occurred in America, so it will be unlikely that a change will take place within a three month period, but any increased visibility on changes being discussed could help investors determine the potential benefit to the economy and businesses. A significant portion of earnings growth since the Great Recession has been driven by operational efficiencies (cost cutting), but a moderate amount of inflation and positive tax reform could help propel corporate earnings to the next leg of earnings growth. Regardless, any revisions to tax and regulatory policies should reinvigorate economic growth. An additional jolt to the economy could be any move on President Trump's infrastructure plan, which while lagging details, has been described by one of the President's cabinet members as an investment program valued at $1 trillion over 10 years focusing on multiple sectors outside of transportation infrastructure, including energy, water and potentially broadband and veterans hospitals.

In closing we remind you that at Buffalo Funds, we take a long-term approach to investing. Just like our namesake, the buffalo, we are steady, strong, and proud. We have a record of growth that is a testament to our philosophy of trend-based, deeply-researched investing and commitment to long-term growth. Patience is our mantra, and our great strength. Those who invest in Buffalo Funds learn that patience truly is a virtue. We believe that the best way to invest for long-term growth is through a structured, disciplined process. Our steady approach avoids the histrionics of market reactions and allows us to focus on buying opportunities that fit our strategic goals. We appreciate your trust in our management teams and our organization. We will continue to work diligently to meet your expectations.

Sincerely,

Clay E. Brethour
President

Portfolio Management Review

Buffalo Discovery Fund

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Buffalo Discovery Fund appreciated 16.13% and outperformed the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index which rose 14.07%. The outperformance of the Fund relative to the benchmark for the fiscal year was due to stock selection particularly within industrial and information technology sectors.

The top contributors to the Fund's performance for the year were Align Technology and FMC Corporation. Micron Technologies was also a top contributor and partly responsible for the strong stock selection in information technology during the twelve month period. Align has been a holding in the Fund for over ten years, a testament to our long term investment philosophy. The company continued to grow as penetration of Invisalign clear aligners for malocclusion expands. The company gained share as innovative adaptations of the base technology have increased the addressable population. FMC Corporation is a diversified chemical company serving the agricultural, health and industrial markets. The stock had strong twelve month performance for three primary reasons. The lithium business exceeded expectations in calendar 2016 due to strong demand, favorable pricing and good cost control. Secondly, the agriculture business is recovering from a cyclical downturn which was a result of oversupply and weakening agricultural commodity prices. Thirdly, during the agricultural downturn the industry consolidated with FMC a beneficiary of the consolidation. FMC will acquire Dupont's agricultural business at favorable terms as a result of a divesture required by regulators for the Dupont / Dow merger to close. Micron's stock staged an impressive recovery in fiscal year 2017, as memory chip oversupply corrected and pricing inflated.

Top detractors for the year included Stericycle and Under Armour. Under Armour entered the fiscal year with a lofty valuation. As top line growth slowed, management deferred the highly anticipated margin expansion, and the stock declined. The decelerating top line was partly due to weaker apparel demand in North America, a fashion cycle in footwear that missed the mark, and store closures by brick and mortar retailers such as The Sport's Authority and Macy's. We started to build a position mid-year and while the growth reacceleration is likely to take longer than we originally forecasted, the valuation is compelling and we believe the company has a huge opportunity in front of it with less than 8% share in its addressable markets globally. Under Armour has benefitted from the trend to healthier living and the brand equity remains strong despite the weaker than expected 2016 operating performance. Acuity Brands provides both residential and commercial LED

lighting solutions. We have owned the stock for several years and the company has been a key beneficiary of the transition to LED lighting. As the stock appreciated we trimmed the position. Over the past two quarters growth has slowed modestly and the stock sold off, leading to the more compelling current valuation, in our view. We anticipate growth will reaccelerate in the back half of calendar year 2017. Finally Stericycle was a detractor in the fiscal year primarily due to a substantial reset of the pricing for its regulated and specialized wastes disposal services to small accounts. We believe that the pricing environment is now well understood by management and investors, the valuation is attractive and the current guidance is conservative. The regulated waste business has significant barriers to entry, differentiated service levels and economies of scale. While the pricing reset was unexpected, we continue to like the long term fundamentals of the business.

The Fund ended the fiscal year with 86 stocks representing 85 companies, as we hold both the Class A and Class B shares of Lion's Gate Entertainment. The cash weighting as of March 31, 2017 was 2.6%. After three months of optimism related to the Republican sweep in November's elections, the reality of a laborious and uncertain political process is setting in. Regardless of the Administration's success on the legislative front, certainly the regulatory backdrop has improved, resulting in increased business confidence. Nevertheless we are now eight years into an expansion, and the cycle is maturing. Our valuation discipline should prove to be a differentiator, particularly as the broader equity market appreciates and valuations extend. The Buffalo Discovery Fund's process is to invest based on the Buffalo Long Term Growth Trends. By limiting our investment universe to companies that we believe are potential beneficiaries of the Trends, we are exposed to businesses operating in secular growth markets. The Trends are relevant in any political environment. Over the intermediate to long term, the capital markets are highly efficient and companies exposed to the long term trends driving growth in our economy should outperform.

Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund

The Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund produced a return of 18.35% for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2017 and outperformed the S&P 500 Index return of 17.17%. The Fund's relative outperformance was driven by the Energy, Real Estate and Consumer Discretionary sectors while the top detracting sectors were Information Technology and Industrials. The outperformance in the Energy sector relative to the benchmark reflects both an overweight sector allocation and security selection. Specific companies that contributed to positive performance over the past year


4



(Unaudited)

included Noble Midstream Partners, Devon Energy Corporation and Chevron. Within Real Estate the outperformance was driven by security selection specifically CoreCivic, which rose 34.13%. CoreCivic had declined due to certain policies implemented by the prior President and which were endorsed by his party's candidate but when she lost the U.S. Presidential election, the market's perception of the new President's policies was much improved and more favorable to CoreCivic. The relative outperformance within Consumer Discretionary was also due to security selection. Specific securities that generated some of the outperformance included Twenty-First Century Fox, Comcast, Marriott and Jack in the Box.

The primary sectors detracting from performance were Information Technology and Industrials. The relative underperformance within Information Technology was due to an underweight sector allocation while the relative underperformance within Industrials was due to security selection and to a lesser degree being underweight the sector. Specific subsectors within Information Technology which detracted from performance were Semiconductors and Technology Hardware. Within Industrials, the subsectors that detracted from performance were Rails, Airlines and Machinery. Cash was also a detractor over the year.

The top contributors to the Fund in fiscal 2017 were Noble Midstream Partners, Bank of America and Apple. Noble Midstream benefitted from the markets growth expectations associated with its parent as well as an improved underlying commodity environment. Bank of America's performance primarily reflects the election of a new U.S. President and a perception that his policies will be beneficial to banks via less regulation and more growth which should steepen the yield curve and improve net interest margins. Apple's stock was trading at a depressed valuation multiple and when earnings proved to be better than feared the stock price improved and it received a higher multiple. The top three detractors to the Fund in fiscal 2017 were Gilead Sciences, CVS and Target. The underperformance in Gilead reflects fears surrounding future growth as the company's Hepatitis C market shrinks as these patients are cured of their illness. CVS' underperformance reflects increased competition with Walgreens and the loss of several large contracts while Target continues to face fierce competition from both online and brick and mortar competitors. During the past year, the Fund exited its stake in Target.

Going forward, we continue to have a consistent message in that we look for companies that we believe 1) exhibit long term sustainable competitive advantages, 2) have a history of growing their revenues, earnings, and dividends,

3) generate significant amounts of free cash flow, 4) have rock solid balance sheets, 5) have management teams who exhibit stellar capital allocation skills and whose interests are aligned with shareholders, and 6) are trading at an adequate discount to our estimate of fair value. As the market has moved up and multiples have expanded over the last year, it has become more difficult to continue to find undervalued companies. We continue to search for companies that meet our criteria for purchase and sell those that no longer exhibit the qualities we desire.

We expect the market to experience continued volatility in the coming quarters as the Federal Reserve continues to normalize interest rates along with a focus on the ability of the Trump administration to enact infrastructure spending, deregulation, and corporate tax reform. Prospective tailwinds for the economy include further job growth, wage increases, lower tax rates, and simply more optimism from both businesses and consumers; all of which could lead to higher Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth. On the other hand, potential headwinds include strengthening of the U.S. dollar, further increases in interest rates, and valuation metrics that are above historical market averages leading us to believe that the stock market may have a hard time achieving further multiple expansions.

Despite the expectation of continued volatility we continue to focus on wide moat, large capitalization companies that are trading at reasonable valuations, in our view. As always, the Fund will continue to focus on competitively advantaged companies that can be purchased at a fair price, in our opinion. As the stock market has continued to climb, it is getting harder to find companies that fit our investment criteria, but we continue to follow our process of finding new investment ideas and to be ready when market declines provide better opportunities.

Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund

For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2017, the Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund posted a positive return of 22.99%, roughly in-line with the Russell 2000 Growth Index return of 23.03%.

The Fund generated outperformance in the Information Technology ("IT") and Industrials sectors. Information Technology was the largest sector weighting in the Fund and generated average returns of 51.18% during the period compared to the index's return of 31.76%. Industrials were also an area of competitive stock selection, with the Fund's holdings returning 57.20% versus the index returns of 21.88%. Offsetting this outperformance was the Fund's Consumer Discretionary holdings which returned 2.76% compared to the 14.28% return posted by the index.

Portfolio Management Review

(Continued)

Additionally, our cash balance for the year presented a drag on relative performance given the significant positive market returns over this time period.

The Fund took advantage of the market sell-off that occurred in the quarter ended March 2016 to add to existing Information Technology holdings or build new positions. Actions taken during this time period helped generate the outperformance among our technology holdings over the past fiscal year. Strategic acquirers also saw the disconnect in valuations that occurred during the period as portfolio companies inContact, Demandware, and Apogee were acquired by NICE Systems, Salesforce.com, and Google, respectively during the course of the past 12 months. Additionally, LogMeIn merged with the GoTo unit of Citrix Systems in a very favorable transaction for LogMeIn shareholders, a development that contributed significantly to our outperformance in the technology sector.

We remain focused on valuations and fundamentals and continue to monitor the risk/reward profile of our holdings. We will make changes to the portfolio based on market moves that provide either an opportunity to trim or add to a position based on potential inefficiencies in the smaller end of the market capitalization spectrum. The correction that began in calendar 2016 was one of those events and the Fund was rewarded in these cases by strategic acquirers supporting our thoughts with their capital being put to use to acquire the above mentioned holdings.

In the Industrials sector, Kornit Digital was a leading contributor to returns after being added to the Fund in June 2016 following several meetings with the management team. Kornit is the leading provider of digital direct to garment and roll-to-roll printing, allowing for high throughput of custom apparel and other use cases based on demand. With Kornit hardware and proprietary ink, online apparel designers can produce short runs of custom pieces based solely on demand. Kornit has been a prime beneficiary in the shift in consumer's increasing desire to purchase apparel online and a desire to have more unique pieces of clothing. In January, Amazon selected Kornit to deliver a large number of its Avalanche 1000 printers in support of Amazon's growing Merch program. In conjunction with this agreement, Kornit granted Amazon warrants that do not vest until Amazon purchases significant amounts of equipment and supplies from Kornit.

Meanwhile the Consumer Discretionary sector was a headwind to relative performance during the period as a few of our restaurant holdings detracted from results. Several investments in this area struggled with porting their success in a couple of existing markets to new markets. Additionally, the subtle but still meaningful shift in

consumer's spending to eat-at-home versus eat-away-from home proved to be a drag on same store sales metrics.

As the daily political headlines pass, geopolitical tensions heat up, and the realization that getting legislation passed in Washington is never easy, we aim to stay consistent to our strategy of building a portfolio of securities that should benefit from underlying secular growth trends that could have thriving business models over the long term regardless of the political climate. The Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund is focused primarily on identifying innovation within U.S. companies with North American revenue bases. Therefore the universe of companies we review for inclusion in the Fund is typically much more U.S. centric than most mid and large cap companies. We like this positioning given the dollar appreciation and foreign policy uncertainty. In addition, U.S. consumer and small business confidence are near or at all-time highs which should also bode well for our smaller, U.S. centric companies. Additionally, we continue to believe the landscape for potential acquisitions could benefit the Fund as larger companies continue to search out areas for growth as we enter year eight of the current bull market.

Buffalo Flexible Income Fund

The Buffalo Flexible Income Fund produced a return of 11.02% for the twelve month period ending March 31, 2017. During the same time period, the S&P 500 returned 17.17% and the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index returned 16.88%. The equity portion of the portfolio returned 12.85%. The Flexible Income Fund's equity component is primarily focused on large cap dividend payers which we believe possess significant competitive advantages. The primary sectors that led to the underperformance were industrials, financials and information technology. The underperformance within industrials was primarily due to security selection. Specifically, Pitney Bowes detracted 127 basis points from performance which was due to weak operating results and continued pressure on mail volumes as businesses transition away from traditional mail based marketing to digital. The underperformance in financials was due to sector allocation as the Fund was significantly underweight the best performing sector in the index. The underperformance in information technology was due to sector allocation and security selection as the Fund was significantly underweight the second best performing sector in the index. The security that negatively impacted performance the most during the period was Qualcomm. Additionally, several non-dividend paying companies generated positive returns during the year for the index. The Fund does not typically invest in these kinds of companies as our mandate is focused on companies that


6



(Unaudited)

pay dividends. The top contributors to the Fund in fiscal 2017 were Boeing, BB&T and Microsoft. Boeing continued to benefit from strong operating results and significant cash flow generation. BB&T share price improvement reflects investor expectations of a lower regulatory burden due to the new U.S. President and the hope of more favorable banking policies. Additionally, investors anticipate that the President's policies will improve growth which could lead to a steeper yield curve and better net interest margins. The top detractors to the Fund in fiscal 2017 were Pitney Bowes, HollyFrontier and Verizon.

The fixed income portion of the Buffalo Flexible Income Fund generated a return of 10.78% over the past 12 months and underperformed the Bank of America Merrill Lynch Master II Index which generated a return of 16.88%. The primary sectors detracting from performance were consumer discretionary, energy and information technology. The underperformance in the discretionary sector relative to the benchmark reflects both a significant overweight as well as security selection. The Fund was overweight the sector and the sector underperformed the index while the underperformance from security selection was due to our investment in Lions Gate Entertainment which reported weak fourth quarter earnings. Within energy, the underperformance was primarily due to security selection. Energy was the best performing sector within the high yield index over the past year and this partially reflects the significant return generated by various distressed energy credits. Fund management has historically avoided investing in distressed credit. The underperformance in the discretionary sector relative to the benchmark reflects both a significant overweight as well as security selection. The top contributors to the portfolio's fixed income performance included Valeant, Medicines Company and Bankrate while the three top detractors were Community Health, Alere and Wildhorse Resource Development.

As we look ahead, we remain focused on finding attractive yield opportunities that we believe have favorable risk reward outlooks. Within the equity space we remain focused on large cap dividend payers as well as select master limited partnerships (MLPs). Within fixed income, we are primarily focused on three asset classes, high yield bonds, convertible bonds and floating rate bank debt.

Buffalo Growth Fund

The Buffalo Growth Fund returned 12.88% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, compared to its benchmark the Russell 1000 Growth Index return of 15.76%. Relative to the benchmark, energy, financials, and health care ended the fiscal year as the largest overweight sectors. While infor-

mation technology and consumer staples were the most underweight.

Among the leading contributors, Amazon.com was the top contributor for the fiscal year. Shares set all-time highs after the company reported record profits during the year. Results were robust as profit margins improved in its North American ecommerce business as sales continued to grow at a rapid pace. In addition, its web services business continued to grow profitably while maintaining a high level of growth throughout the year. Next, shares of Apple were driven by a strong launch of the new iPhone 7 in September 2016, leading growth to inflect higher. Also, the market position of the iPhone 7 has been helped by the product reliability issues at Samsung, providing an opportunity for Apple to gain market share. Finally, Align Technology shares were higher on continued strong growth of its innovative correction dental product, Invisalign. The company continued to have opportunities to invest to sustain its profit growth including geographic expansion and new products.

Among the detractors for the fiscal year, Nielsen shares declined on weaker than expected earnings growth. Results were negatively impacted by ongoing cost rationalization of many large consumer products companies with particular emphasis on more discretionary spending by these customers. However, the company has maintained growth in its core measurement businesses. Next, shares of Stericycle declined on weaker growth and guidance for the year. The company has experienced pricing headwinds in its medical waste business and two larger acquisitions have taken longer to integrate and yield synergies. We believe Stericycle remains a beneficiary of increasing utilization of medical care with an aging population. Finally, Under Armour shares fell on disappointing growth and profit forecasts for fiscal 2017. The company has experienced a setback of its growth due to some product innovation missteps combined with increasing competition in the athletic apparel space.

We continue to hold a more positive view on the domestic economic outlook relative to the global outlook. In Europe, elections in France and Germany this year continue to brew uncertainty on the heels of the surprise vote by the United Kingdom to exit the European Union last summer (Brexit). In addition, Europe still suffers from a debt problem among many European Union member nations. Greece and Italy have been widely reported as highly indebted countries but several other nations are not far from burdensome debt levels as well. In Asia, Japan continues to limp along in a lethargic recovery, while China's growth has moderated but remains at a high absolute level. In the U.S.,

Portfolio Management Review

(Continued)

the initial optimism for economic stimulus from the new administration has diminished as President Trump met more resistance than expected in overhauling health care. This has resulted in the timeline being pushed out for policies expected to boost economic growth, such as tax reform and infrastructure spending. Even if approved, these growth boosting initiatives are unlikely to be significant in 2017 due to the delay caused by the focus on healthcare policy. In this environment, we continue to stay focused on attempts to hedge capital from potential downside risks, while taking incremental risk when justified by positively skewed potential return outcomes.

Buffalo High Yield Fund

The Buffalo High Yield Fund increased 8.37% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017. During the period, the Fund underperformed our primary benchmark, the Bank of America Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index (the "Index") which had a return of 16.88% by 851 basis points during the comparable period. Our underperformance relative to the Index can largely be attributed the Fund's strategy of owning higher credit quality issues with shorter durations which underperformed riskier names for much of the year. The Fund was also significantly underweight in the energy and mineral/mining sectors which were by far the two strongest performing sectors in the Index. In fiscal 2017, the high yield markets experienced significant volatility driven by: (i) highly volatile crude oil and other commodity prices that cratered in the first fiscal quarter before rallying significantly; (ii) investor concern over continued interest rate increases by the Fed; (iii) and uncertainty about the health of the global economies and state of the credit cycle. The Fund's energy allocation was roughly 5% compared to the Index's 14% weighting, and this was a key driver of the Fund's underperformance in the last nine months of the fiscal year.

The approximate rate and contribution of return from the various asset classes in the portfolio during the fiscal year 2017 was as follows:

All asset classes provided positive returns for the Fund in the fiscal year. Given the heavy allocation in the Fund and overall strong performance in the asset class, straight

corporate bonds contributed the most to the Fund's performance. Primary contributors to the straight corporate bond portfolio included KCG Holdings 6.875% '20, Neustar 4.50% '23, and DigitalGlobe 5.250% '21. KCG Holdings notes started the fiscal year at depressed levels due to disappointing earnings but steadily improved over the year as earning performance improved and its low duration attracted investors. Neustar was acquired and DigitalGlobe refinanced its notes both of which drove prices back to par. Securities that underperformed in this asset class included Concordia Healthcare 9.500% '22, MDC Partners 6.500% '24, and Community Health Systems 7.125% '20.

As an asset class, convertible bonds posted the strongest unweighted return and were the second largest contributor to Fund performance. The Medicine Company 2.500% '22 and 2.750% '23 issues along with Greenbrier 3.500% '18 were the top performers. The stock of Medicine Company nearly doubled in early 2017 after a competitor's favorable clinical trials for a similar cholesterol drug were announced which drove the value of the convertible notes considerably higher. Greenbrier benefited from better than expected earnings and the "Trump Effect" following the November elections.

During the fiscal year, the Fund continued to increase its exposure to bank loans as we were able to find additional issues with attractive pricing, favorable credit quality, and perceived less exposure to rising interest rates than fixed rate bonds. Primary contributors in this segment included Akorn, Valeant Pharmaceuticals, and Diebold. The Fund only owned one convertible preferred stock position at the end of the fiscal year which was the Allergan 5.500% '27 convertible preferred. It had minimal impact on the Fund's returns during the year. Within the common stock segment of the portfolio, we liquidated all of our positions in September to raise liquidity for a pending redemption. In January, we received shares of Lions Gate Entertainment common stock as payment from a maturing convertible bond issue that we held.

After significant declines in the first calendar quarter ending March 31, 2016, the broad high yield market saw significant strength throughout fiscal 2016 as the Index recorded gains in all four quarters. Recent economic news continues to be mixed with the unemployment rate relatively strong, while the number of jobs created and inflation numbers remain benign. Thus, the rhetoric coming out of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings continues to imply restrained optimism and a regime of slow incremental rate increases over the next two years. The U.S. Treasury yield curve has flattened in response to rising short term Fed Funds rate and lack of significant inflation.

(Unaudited)

Within this environment, we continue to manage the Fund cautiously yet actively as we look into the new fiscal year. In managing the Fund, we continue to focus on high-quality issuers with defensive business models and manageable credit metrics. As yields and spreads tightened throughout fiscal 2017 to the lowest levels since 2013, we increased the weighting in floating rate bank loans and tried to add shorter duration issues when possible. We will continue to deploy the Fund's cash in opportunities that we believe offer the most appealing risk/reward tradeoffs with a bias toward high credit quality, appealing business models, relatively short duration, and attractive relative values. We will also remain opportunistic in adding floating rate bank loans and convertible bonds, the former providing some hedging to a rising rate environment and the latter giving the Fund exposure to underlying equity movements.

Buffalo International Fund

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Buffalo International Fund appreciated 13.46%, slightly ahead of the Russell Global ex-U.S. Index, which returned 13.13%. The performance of the Fund was challenged by its sector allocation, but positively impacted due to stock selection, with the strongest benefit coming from stock selection within the information technology sector.

Broadcom, Kering and Adidas were the top contributors for the fiscal year. Broadcom, a stock we've owned almost since the Fund's inception, is a semiconductor manufacturer which continued to benefit as cellular handset and base station suppliers continue their roll-out of 4G capabilities, which requires greater use of semiconductor filters to handle the bandwidth and spectrum density. Kering and Adidas both benefited from a renewed focus on core brands, to which the consumer responded favorably.

Top detractors for the year's performance included Amer Sports Oyj, and several healthcare holdings, including Teva Pharmaceuticals and Allergan. Amer Sports Oyj develops and manufactures sports and fitness equipment and clothing, including the brands Wilson, Precor and Salomon. The brands had a poor showing during the holiday season, amid delays in new product launches. Overall the healthcare market is facing a great deal of uncertainty due to efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act and intense scrutiny on pharmaceutical pricing practices. Both Teva and Allergan have been recipients of this scrutiny and the stocks have suffered accordingly. In addition, Teva's acquisition of Actavis hasn't provided the anticipated synergies.

Having shrugged off hysteria caused by Britain's vote to exit the European Union (BREXIT) in mid-year 2016, and

gotten past a Fed rate hike last December, the outlook for global growth has turned positive with reflationary forces being felt in China, Europe and Japan. We are however concerned that some of the reflationary forces being propagated are due to another credit push from China, which may not be sustainable in the medium turn. In any event, the markets are acting with relief that the worst has passed and perhaps Central Banks may be moving toward market price discovery among and between asset classes. Elections are front and center in the European Union (EU), but for now, polls seem to indicate that the status quo will continue. We believe the political uncertainty in Europe should ameliorate as we move to the second half of the year, and attention again will focus on future Central Bank actions.

Overall, we continue to expect modestly improving economic growth around the globe. Our investment process is designed to favor a long-term secular growth perspective coupled within the context of our valuation and country specific macro analyses. While our process remains unchanged, we are taking incremental risks were it makes sense, while continuing to keep an eye towards the pursuit of hedging capital from potential downside risks. We continue to look for opportunities to buy or add to companies that are exposed to secular growth, improving balance sheets and sustainable business models that possess valuations which could provide appropriate prospective returns for our investors.

Buffalo Large Cap Fund

For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2017, the Buffalo Large Cap Fund appreciated 18.67% significantly outperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index return of 15.76%. The outperformance of the Fund relative to the benchmark for the fiscal year was due to stock selection within the consumer discretionary sector. To a lesser extent, stock picking within the information technology and healthcare sectors also contributed to relative performance.

Amazon, Apple, and Micron Technologies were top contributors for the fiscal year. While many brick and mortar retailers are struggling to grow in the face of store closures, Amazon appears to be gaining share with overall top line growth having accelerated in 2016 over 2014 and 2015. The company remains extremely well positioned to potentially benefit from ecommerce growth and cloud computing. Apple's iPhone 7 sales meaningfully exceeded expectations in the fourth quarter of 2016 which were reported in January. The installed base of iPhones is approximately 570 million globally. The iPhone 8 launch later this year, the ten year anniversary product, will have a large target audience. Micron's stock staged an impressive recovery in 2016 as memory chip oversupply corrected and pricing inflated.

Portfolio Management Review

(Continued)

Ending the quarter, we no longer believe that the company is undervalued.

Top detractors for the year's performance involved several healthcare holdings, including CVS Health and athenahealth. CVS Health's equity has been under pressure since early 2016 for a myriad of reasons including lost market share to several rivals over the past six months, concerns about drug pricing pressure that could affect the company's growth profile, and angst over the lack of transparency in the drug supply chain resulting in perhaps outsized profits for pharmacy benefit managers such as CVS at the expense of other businesses along the supply chain. While controversy surrounding the stock is elevated, we see little long term fundamental risk to the company and find the valuation compelling. athenahealth offers a cloud based information technology management system for healthcare providers. The company's operations underperformed expectations in the fourth quarter of 2016. Overall the healthcare provider market is facing a great deal of uncertainty due to efforts to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. We expect athenahealth's bookings and operating performance to improve as the uncertainty lifts.

The Fund ended the fiscal annual period with 46 stocks representing 45 companies, as we hold both the Class A and Class C shares of Alphabet, Inc. The cash weighting stood at 5.2% ending the period.

After three months of optimism related to the Republican sweep in November's elections, the reality of a laborious and uncertain political process is setting in. Regardless of the Administration's success on the legislative front, certainly the regulatory backdrop has improved, resulting in increased business confidence. Nevertheless we are now eight years into an expansion, and the cycle is maturing. Our valuation discipline should prove to be a differentiator, particularly as the broader equity market appreciates and valuations extend.

The Buffalo Large Cap Fund's process is to invest based on the Buffalo Long Term Growth Trends. By limiting our investment universe to companies that we believe are potential beneficiaries of the Trends, we are exposed to businesses operating in secular growth markets. The Trends are relevant in any political environment. Over the intermediate to long term, the capital markets are highly efficient and companies exposed to the long term trends driving growth in our economy should outperform.

Buffalo Mid Cap Fund

The Buffalo Mid Cap Fund generated a return of 12.94% for the 12 month period ending March 31, 2017, which

underperformed the Russell Midcap Growth Index return of 14.07% during the same period. The index was primarily driven higher by contributions from the information technology, health care, industrial and financial sectors with the Fund producing positive stock selection in all but one of those areas. Negative stock selection in consumer discretionary and materials contributed to the Fund's underperformance. Positive stock selection in financials, real estate and information technology sectors helped partially offset soft relative performance in the areas mentioned above. Also negatively impacting performance was our attention to valuation as we trimmed stocks, particularly in the fiscal fourth quarter, that continued to move higher. We are actively deploying capital into areas we believe have a more favorable risk/reward profile.

The Fund's consumer discretionary sector experienced negative selection effect for the period with Tractor Supply Company and Under Armour most negatively affecting the performance. Tractor Supply Company's results were impacted by unfavorable weather in certain areas of the country. We remain positive on the fundamentals of the company as stores in areas of the country not affected by weather continue to perform well. For Under Armour, weaker apparel demand in North America and dislocation at some retail sporting goods stores have caused sales to slow. Also hurting the stock is the company's desire to invest for long-term growth which is pressuring margins. Despite the weakness from both stocks, we remain positive on the long term fundamentals of both companies and believe the valuation profiles are compelling.

The Fund's financials performed well in the quarter as MarketAxess and MSCI were the top performers in the sector. MarketAxess Holdings, which operates an electronic trading platform for fixed-income securities, and provides market data and post-trade services for the global fixed-income markets, benefitted from the trend in electronic trading of fixed income securities away from traditional phone orders. The stock was up over 50% for the period. MSCI, which provides benchmark indexes and portfolio risk analytics tools to institutional investors, benefitted from the growth in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and risk management solutions. MSCI operates what we view as an attractive business model that has a substantial recurring revenue stream with meaningful barriers to entry. The stock was up about 33% for the period.

The Fund's largest contributor to performance was Cepheid, a healthcare diagnostic company. The company received an offer to be acquired by Danaher at a greater than 50% premium to where the stock was trading. We had taken a position in the company at attractive prices,

believing that the market was not recognizing the value of the company correctly after a period of poor execution that was largely in the rear view mirror.

The setup for 2017 appears to bode well for both accelerated economic growth and performance of U.S equities. The new Presidential administration's focus on deregulation, infrastructure spending, and tax reform point to a more pro-growth, business-friendly environment, which could portend an extended cycle of economic growth. Investors are now keeping a close eye on President Trump's ability to pass meaningful tax reform, especially after promises of healthcare reform have so far fallen short. Inability to provide tax reform may cause market volatility though expectations for the timing of results are being actively managed by the new administration.

While we are pleased with the number of positions in the portfolio, we continue to look for additional ideas that could provide greater risk adjusted return potential. We have spent considerable time over the past few months analyzing companies with a greater cyclical profile that could stand to benefit from factors like accelerating job growth, improved construction activity, and increased energy production. We would expect those kinds of companies to outperform in this environment of an elongated economic cycle. While we have added some new positions in these areas, we are remaining true to our process of identifying what we believe to be beneficiaries of long-term trends and implementing our valuation discipline. We continue to actively reduce stocks with potential disproportionate downside risk and appreciate your continued support and confidence.

Buffalo Small Cap Fund

The Buffalo Small Cap Fund produced a return of 24.51% for the 12 month period ending March 31, 2017, outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index return of 23.03% during the same period. The Fund's relative performance was strongest in healthcare and technology, while weakest in consumer discretionary.

Technology was the Fund's best-performing sector relative to the index. The top-performing holding in the sector was LogMeIn, which announced a large synergistic merger with Citrix's GoTo business in July 2016 that could position the company for margin expansion and accelerated free cash flow growth. Another holding that outperformed in the sector was Cognex, a company focused on machine vision and factory automation, which benefited from strong performance with its consumer electronics, automotive, and logistics customers. The Fund also outperformed the index in healthcare with Exact Sciences providing the highest

contribution in the sector. The company continued to gain payer, doctor and patient support for Cologuard, a commercialized alternative to colonoscopy for detecting colorectal cancer. Investors are now starting to give some attention to the company's pipeline of screening tests in other areas of oncology like lung and breast cancer. Other portfolio holdings in this sector that drove above index returns included Supernus, a specialty pharmaceutical company that settled a generic challenge over their lead compound, and Cepheid, a diagnostic company that was purchased by Danaher.

Our Consumer Discretionary holdings represented the biggest underperformer relative to index sector results. The Fund's investment in Fitbit detracted from performance as consumer demand for the company's wearable devices declined significantly. The Fund's holdings in restaurants, specialty retail, and apparel also represented a drag relative to the index as our holdings underperformed. We have taken steps to potentially improve performance in this sector, including eliminating some holdings where fundamentals have failed to materialize, and redeploying the capital into companies we believe are poised for stronger returns.

Other sectors were more muted in their contribution to the Fund's relative performance. Consumer Staples and Financials contributed to outperformance, while Industrials and Materials served as slight drags. During the year, we were quite active in making changes to the portfolio in an attempt to position it for improved performance. The Fund finished the fiscal year with 73 holdings, a significant increase compared to 62 positions at the end of the previous year. While we are pleased with strong idea-generation and the increased number of securities in the portfolio, we continue to look for additional ideas that could provide greater risk-adjusted returns.

The setup for 2017 appears to bode well for both accelerated economic growth and performance of U.S equities. The new Presidential administration's focus on deregulation, infrastructure spending, and tax reform point to a more pro-growth, business-friendly environment. We have spent considerable time over the past few months looking at companies with a greater cyclical profile that could stand to benefit from factors like accelerating job growth, improved construction activity, and increased energy production. At the same time, uncertainties in the global geopolitical environment, and questions about the new administration's ultimate ability to pass reforms could lead to enhanced market volatility in coming quarters as well. While we have added some new positions in these areas, we are remaining true to our process of identifying potential beneficiaries of long-term trends and implementing our

valuation discipline. We continue to actively reduce stocks with disproportionate downside risk and those that have graduated well into being midcap stocks. We appreciate your continued support and confidence.

Sincerely,

Bond ratings are grades given to bonds that indicate their credit quality as determined by a private independent rating service such as Standard & Poor's. The firm evaluates a bond issuer's financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond's principal and interest in a timely fashion. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from 'AAA', which is the highest grade, to 'D', which is the lowest grade. In limited situations when the rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the Advisor will classify the security as nonrated.

Earnings growth is not representative of a fund's future performance.

A basis point is one hundredth of a percentage point (0.01%)

Cash flow is the net amount of cash moving into and out of a business.

Yield is the income return on an investment.

Yield Curve is a curve on a graph in which the yield of fixed-interest securities is plotted against the length of time they have to run to maturity.

Free Cash Flow is revenue less operating expenses including interest expense and maintenance capital spending. It is the discretionary cash that a company has after all expenses and is available for purposes such as dividend payments, investing back into the business, or share repurchases.

Duration is a commonly used measure of the potential volatility of the price of a debt security, or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of debt securities, prior to maturity. Securities with a longer duration generally have more volatile prices than securities of comparable quality with a shorter duration.

Investment Results

(Continued) (Unaudited)

The Funds' returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on distributions or the redemption of shares. The benchmark returns shown, excluding the Lipper Indices, reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect the deduction of any investment management fees, other expenses or taxes. The performance of the Lipper Indices is presented net of the Funds' fees and expenses; however, applicable sales charges are not taken into consideration. One cannot invest directly in an index.

The Lipper Multi-Cap Growth Funds Index is an unmanaged index that reflects the net asset value weighted return of 30 of the largest multi-cap growth funds tracked by Lipper. Its returns include net reinvested dividends. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization weighted index of 500 large capitalization stocks which is designed to measure broad domestic securities markets. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds Index is an average of funds that, by portfolio practice, maintain a mix of between 40%-60% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash, and cash equivalents. The total return of the Lipper Average does not include the effect of sales charges. The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 1000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Large-Cap Growth Funds Index is an unmanaged, equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying mutual funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Large-Cap classification. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index tracks the performance of below investment grade U.S. dollar-denominated corporate bonds publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market. The Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index is a widely recognized index of the 30 largest mutual funds that invest primarily in high yield bonds. The Lipper International Funds Index is an unmanaged, equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying mutual funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper International classification. The Russell Midcap Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell Midcap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Mid-Cap Growth Funds Index is an unmanaged, equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying mutual funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Mid-Cap classification. The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of those Russell 2000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Lipper Small-Cap Growth Funds Index is an unmanaged, equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying mutual funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Small-Cap classification. Lipper Equity Income Funds Index tracks funds that seek relatively high current income and growth of income by investing at least 65% of their portfolio in dividend-paying equity securities. These funds' gross or net yield must be at least 125% of the average gross or net yield of the U.S. diversified equity fund universe. The Russell Global (ex USA) Index Net measures the performance of the global equity market based on all investable equity securities, excluding companies assigned to the United States. The Russell 3000 Growth Index measures the performance of the broad growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 3000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000 Index is a small-cap stock market index of the bottom 2,000 stocks in the Russell 3000 Index. The Russell 2000 is by far the most common benchmark for mutual funds that identify themselves as "small-cap", while the S&P 500 index is used primarily for large capitalization stocks.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (including redemption fees) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund specific expenses. The examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2016 – March 31, 2017).

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line of the tables below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account by $1,000 (for exam- ple, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to esti- mate the expenses you paid on your account during the period. Although the Funds charge no sales load or trans- action fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at pre- vailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds' transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds' transfer agent. To the extent a Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its invest- ment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying

funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the examples below. The examples below include management fees, registration fees and other expenses. However, the examples below do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in our Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different Funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

March 31, 2017

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

The Buffalo Funds (comprised of the Buffalo Discovery Fund, Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund, Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund, Buffalo Flexible Income Fund, Buffalo Growth Fund, Buffalo High Yield Fund, Buffalo International Fund, Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Buffalo Mid Cap Fund, and Buffalo Small Cap Fund) (the "Funds"), are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified open-end management investment company. The shares of the Buffalo Funds are issued in multiple series, with each series, in effect, representing a separate fund.

The investment objective of the Buffalo Discovery Fund, Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund, Buffalo Growth Fund, Buffalo International Fund, Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Buffalo Mid Cap Fund and Buffalo Small Cap Fund is long-term growth of capital.

The investment objectives of the Buffalo Flexible Income Fund are the generation of high current income and, as a secondary objective, the long-term growth of capital.

The investment objectives of the Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund and the Buffalo High Yield Fund are current income, with long- term growth of capital as a secondary objective.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification ("ASC") Topic 946 "Financial Services — Investment Companies."

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.

A. INVESTMENT VALUATION — Equity securities and debt securities traded on a national securities exchange or national market, except those traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ"), are valued at the latest sales price thereof, or if no sale was reported on that date, the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask price is used. All equity securities that are traded using NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"), which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask price.

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 of Trustees (the "Board"). If events occur that will affect the value of a 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 Valuation Committee. Some of the factors that may be considered by the Valuation Committee in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restriction on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or sold. As of March 31, 2017, none of the Buffalo Funds held valued securities. In addition, with respect to the valuation of securities principally traded on foreign markets, the Buffalo International Fund uses a fair value pricing service approved by the Funds' Board which employs quantitative models to adjust for "stale" prices caused by the movement of other markets and other factors occurring after the close of the foreign markets, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The fair valuation trigger was not met on March 31, 2017 and the fair value price was not applied.

Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are normally valued at last sale price reported. If there is no trade on the particular day, then the security will be priced at the mean between the most recent bid and asked prices.

Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. The Funds may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Funds' investment objective and investment strategies. In some cases, the issuer of restricted securities has agreed to register such securities for resale, at the issuer's expense either upon demand by the Funds or in connection with another registered offering of the securities. Investments in restricted securities are valued utilizing the Funds' corporate bond valuation policies.

In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), fair value is defined as the price that a 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. ASC 820 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 Funds' investments. The inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 — Valuations based on quoted prices for investments in active markets that a Fund has the ability to access at the meas- urement date. Valuation adjustments are not applied to Level 1 investments.

Level 2 — Valuations based on other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.).


88



Level 3 — Valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund's own assumptions and judgment in determining the fair value of investments).

Inputs that are used in determining fair value of an investment may include price information, credit data, volatility statistics, and other factors. These inputs can be either observable or unobservable. The availability of observable inputs can vary between invest- ments, and is affected by various factors such as the type of investment, and the volume and level of activity for that investment or similar investments in the market place. The inputs will be considered by the Advisor, along with any other relevant factors in the calculation of an investment's fair value. The Funds use prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, which may include periods of market dislocations. During these periods, the availability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many investments. This condition could cause an investment to be reclassified between the various levels within the hierarchy.

Non-U.S. equity securities actively traded in foreign markets may be reflected in Level 2 despite the availability of closing prices, because the Funds evaluate and determine whether those closing prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjust- ment, as described above and in Note 9 — Foreign Investment Risk.

Investments falling into the Level 3 category are primarily supported by quoted prices from brokers and dealers participating in the market for those investments. However, these may be classified as Level 3 investments due to lack of market transparency and corroboration to support these quoted prices. Additionally, valuation models may be used as the pricing source for any remaining investments classified as Level 3. These models rely on one or more significant unobservable inputs and/or significant assumptions made by the Valuation Committee. Inputs used in valuations may include, but are not limited to, financial statement analysis, capital account balances, discount rates and estimated cash flows, and comparable company data.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following table provides the fair value measurement of applicable Fund assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2017. These assets are measured on a recurring basis.

*   Additional information regarding the industry and/or geographical classification of these investments is disclosed in the schedule of investments.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 fair value measurements during the reporting year. The basis for recognizing and valuing transfers is as of the beginning of the year in which transfers occur.

B. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — Each Fund complies with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code nec- essary to qualify as a regulated investment company and makes the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its share- holders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income and excise taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.

At March 31, 2017, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more likely-than-not" threshold of being sus- tained by the applicable tax authority. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as other expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

The Funds have analyzed all open tax years, as defined by the Statute of Limitations, for all major jurisdictions. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities. Open tax years include the tax years ended March 31, 2014 through March 31, 2017. The Funds have no examinations in progress.

C. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except that certain dividends for foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the dividend in the exercise of reasonable diligence. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are reported on the identified cost basis. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting pur- poses and are included in interest income.

D. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for premium amortization on debt securities, deferral of late year and wash sale losses, and partnership investment income.

E. USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make esti- mates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

F. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION — Values of investments denominated in foreign currencies are converted into U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange on the day of valuation. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are translated to U.S. dollars using a spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The portion of security gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates is included with net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments, as appropriate, for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

G. PURCHASED AND WRITTEN OPTION CONTRACTS — Certain of the Funds may purchase and write call or put options on securities and indices and enter into related closing transactions. As a holder of a call option, a Fund has the right, but not the obli- gation, to purchase a security at the exercise price during the exercise period. As the writer of a call option, a Fund has the obligation to sell the security at the exercise price during the exercise period. The Fund's maximum payout in the case of written call option contracts cannot be determined. As a holder of a put option, a Fund has the right, but not the obligation, to sell a security at the exercise price during the exercise period. As the writer of a put option, a Fund has the obligation to buy the underlying security at the exercise price during the exercise period.

The premium that a Fund pays when purchasing an option or receives when writing an option will reflect, among other things, the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the market price of the security, the relationship of the exercise price to the volatility of the security, the length of the option period and supply and demand factors. The premium is the market value of an option at the time of purchase.

A purchaser (holder) of a put option pays a non-refundable premium to the seller (writer) of a put option to obtain the right to sell a specified amount of a security at a fixed price (the exercise price) during a specified period (exercise period). Conversely, the seller (writer) of a put option, upon payment by the holder of the premium, has the obligation to buy the security from the holder of the put option at the exercise price during the exercise period.

Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes ("NBBO"). NBBO consists of the highest bid prices and lowest ask prices across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Specifically, composite pricing looks at the last trades on the exchanges where the options are traded. If there are no trades for the option on a given business day, composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded. Non exchange traded options also will be valued at the mean between the last bid and ask quotations. For options where market quotations are not readily available, a fair value shall be determined as set forth in the Funds' fair valuation guidelines.

The Funds may use options with the objective to generate income as a non-principal investment strategy. Currently, the Buffalo Flexible Income Fund makes use of the options strategy to a greater extent than the other Funds because income generation is a primary investment objective of the Buffalo Flexible Income Fund. The primary strategy used by Buffalo Flexible Income Fund to achieve income generation through the use of options is to write covered calls with the strike price above the cost basis and the value the portfolio managers believe will be achieved before the expiration of the option and also at a value that the portfolio man- agers are willing to sell if the option is exercised. The collected premiums generate income for the Fund, and if the option is exer- cised, a gain will also be achieved. A risk of using derivatives is that the counterparty to a derivative may fail to comply with their obligation to the Funds. See Note 8 for written option activity.

H. INDEMNIFICATIONS — Under the Funds' organizational documents, officers and trustees are indemnified against certain lia- bilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred, and may not occur. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 Notes to Financial Statements  

March 31, 2017

(Continued)

I. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT — In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, "final rules") intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. In part, the final rules amend Regulation S-X and require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The updates to Regulation S-X are effective August 1, 2017 and may result in additional disclosure relating to the presentation of derivatives and certain other financial instruments. These updates have no impact on the Fund's net assets or results of operations.

2. FEDERAL TAX MATTERS:

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016 were as follows:

*  The Funds designate as long-term capital gain dividends, pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 852(b)(3)(C), the amounts necessary to reduce the earnings and profits of the Funds related to net capital gain to zero for the tax period ended March 31, 2017.

Distributions paid differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due primarily to the recharacterization of short-term capital gain distributions to ordinary distributions for tax purposes.

Additionally, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between finan- cial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended March 31, 2017, the following table shows the reclassifications made:

The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation are attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, premium amortization, and publicly traded partnership investments.

Other accumulated gain/(loss) is generally comprised of capital loss carryforwards, and/or unrealized gain/(loss) on derivative positions.

The utilization of certain capital loss carryovers are subject to annual limitations of $652,599, pursuant to IRC Sec. 382 as a result of acquisition of the Buffalo China Fund on January 25, 2013.

In order to meet certain excise tax distribution requirements, the Funds are required to measure and distribute annually net capital gains realized during a twelve month period ending October 31 and net investment income earned during a twelve month period ending December 31. In connection with this, the Funds are permitted for tax purposes to defer into their next fiscal year qualified late year losses. Qualified late year capital losses are any net capital losses incurred between November 1 and the end of their fiscal year, March 31, 2017. Qualified late year ordinary losses are generally losses incurred between January 1 and the end of their fiscal year, March 31, 2017.

3. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

Management fees are paid to Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. ("KCM") at the rate of 1.00% per annum of the average daily net asset values of the Funds, except for the Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund, Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund, Buffalo Growth Fund and Buffalo Large Cap Fund which have a management fee rate of 1.45%, 0.90%, 0.90% and 0.90%, respectively. The man- agement fees are for services which include the costs of all management, supervisory and administrative services required in the normal operation of the Funds. This includes investment management and supervision; fees of the custodian (except for the addi- tional cost of maintaining custody of assets in foreign jurisdictions, when compared to domestic custody costs), independent reg- istered public accounting firm and legal counsel; fees and expenses of officers, trustees and other personnel; rent; shareholder services; and other items incidental to corporate administration. Pursuant to a Master Services Agreement with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC ("USBFS"), KCM pays USBFS a fee of 30/100 of 1% (0.30%) of each Fund's average daily net assets out of the fees KCM receives from the Funds, except for the Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund, Buffalo Growth Fund and the Buffalo Large Cap Fund, where USBFS receives 25/100 of 1% (0.25%). USBFS provides or obtains various operational services required by the Funds, pays various Fund expenses and acts as paying agent to compensate other Fund service providers. Some of the other Fund service providers are affiliates of USBFS.

With respect to the Buffalo Small Cap Fund only, the annual management fee rate of one percent (1.00%) of the Buffalo Small Cap Fund's average daily net assets is a base fee paid to KCM that is subject to reduced fees paid on assets in excess of certain levels (breakpoints). The fee paid by KCM to USBFS is also subject to breakpoints on assets in excess of certain levels. The breakpoint schedules for the management fees paid by the Buffalo Small Cap Fund to KCM and the fees paid by KCM to USBFS are set forth in the following table:

The management fees do not include the cost of acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities, taxes, if any, imposed directly on the Funds and their shares, insurance, certain trustee expenses and the cost of qualifying the Funds' shares for sale in any juris- diction. Certain officers and a trustee of the Funds are also officers and/or directors of KCM.

A trustee of the Funds is affiliated with USBFS and U.S. Bank, N.A., which provide accounting, administration, transfer agency and custodian services to the Funds, as described above. The Buffalo International Fund incurred $47,796 in custody fees during the year ended March 31, 2017, and owed $8,994 custody fees as of March 31, 2017.

4. AGGREGATE COMPENSATION TO TRUSTEES:

The Funds do not directly compensate any of their trustees. USBFS pays trustee fees to non-interested Board members from its share of the management fee that it receives from KCM. The aggregate compensation paid to the Funds' non-interested trustees for their service on the Funds' Board for the year ended March 31, 2017 was $200,000. Interested trustees who are affiliated with either KCM or the Funds' service providers do not receive any compensation from the Funds, but are compensated directly by the advisor or service provider in connection with their employment with those entities.

5. REDEMPTION FEE:

Effective December 1, 2016, the Board approved the elimination of redemption fees on shares of the Funds. Prior to December 1, 2016, shares of the Buffalo Discovery Fund, Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund, Buffalo Flexible Income Fund, Buffalo Growth Fund, Buffalo International Fund, Buffalo Large Cap Fund and Buffalo Mid Cap Fund, sold or exchanged within 60 days of their purchase and shares of the Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund, Buffalo High Yield Fund and Buffalo Small Cap Fund sold or exchanged within 180 days of their purchase were subject to a redemption fee of 2.00% of the value of the shares sold or exchanged. The redemption fee was used by the Funds to help pay transaction and tax costs that long-term investors would bear when the Funds realized capital gains as a result of selling securities to meet investor redemptions.

6. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS:

8. OPTIONS WRITTEN:

FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815) is intended to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments by requir- ing enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand how and why the Funds use derivative instruments, how these derivative instruments are accounted for and their effects on the Funds' financial position and results of operations. The Buffalo Flexible Income Fund is the only Fund that has maintained any positions in derivative instruments or engaged in hedging activities during the period ended March 31, 2017.

9. FOREIGN INVESTMENT RISK:

When the Buffalo International Fund buys or sells securities on a foreign stock exchange, the transaction is undertaken in the local currency rather than in U.S. dollars. In purchasing or selling local currency to execute transactions on foreign exchanges, the Buffalo International Fund will be exposed to the risk that the value of the foreign currency will increase or decrease, which may impact the value of the portfolio holdings. China has, and may continue to adopt, internal economic policies that affect its currency valu- ations in a manner that may be disadvantageous for U.S. investors or U.S. companies seeking to do business in China. In addition, a country may impose formal or informal currency exchange controls (or "capital controls"). These types of controls may restrict or prohibit the Buffalo International Fund's ability to repatriate both investment capital and income, which could undermine the value of the portfolio holdings and potentially place the Buffalo International Fund's assets at risk of total loss.

Investing in securities of foreign corporations and governments involves additional risks relating to: political, social, religious and economic developments abroad; market instability; fluctuations in foreign exchange rates; different regulatory requirements, market practices, accounting standards and practices; and less publicly available information about foreign issuers. Additionally, these investments may be less liquid, carry higher brokerage commissions and other fees, and procedures and regulations governing transactions and custody in foreign markets also may involve delays in payment, delivery or recovery of money or investments. Investments in common stocks of U.S. companies with international operations, and the purchase of sponsored or unsponsored


96



ADRs (American Depositary Receipt) carry similar risks. In addition to risks associated with investing in foreign securities, there are special risks associated with investments in China and Hong Kong, including exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, expropriation, confiscatory taxation, nationalization, exchange control regulations, differing legal standards and rapid fluctuations in inflation and interest rates. The Chinese government could, at any time, alter or discontinue economic reform programs imple- mented since 1978.

10. LINE OF CREDIT

U.S. Bank, N.A. has made available to the Buffalo Funds an unsecured line of credit pursuant to a Loan Agreement for the Funds which matures, unless renewed, on August 1, 2017. The line of credit is intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions, in connection with shareholder redemptions. The Buffalo Funds may borrow up to the lesser of $50,000,000 or certain percentage amounts based on the net assets of the Funds.

The interest rate paid by the Buffalo Funds on outstanding borrowings is equal to the Prime Rate. During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Funds did not borrow from the line of credit.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

Management has evaluated the events and transactions that have occurred after March 31, 2017 and through the date the financial statements were issued and determined that there were no significant subsequent events that would require adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosures.

 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm  

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Buffalo Funds

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of the Buffalo Funds (comprising, respectively, the Buffalo Discovery Fund, Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund, Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund, Buffalo Flexible Income Fund, Buffalo Growth Fund, Buffalo High Yield Fund, Buffalo International Fund, Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Buffalo Mid Cap Fund, and Buffalo Small Cap Fund) (collectively referred to herein as the Funds), as of March 31, 2017, and the related statements 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 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the

effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2017, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from agent banks and brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective funds constituting the Buffalo Funds at March 31, 2017, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT
ADVISORY CONTRACTS

The Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") of Buffalo Funds, a Delaware statutory trust, on behalf of its series, Buffalo Flexible Income Fund, Buffalo High Yield Fund, Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Buffalo Growth Fund, Buffalo Discovery Fund, Buffalo Mid Cap Fund, Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund, Buffalo International Fund and Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund (all such funds referred to collectively as the "Funds") met on November 16, 2016, to consider the renewal of the Amended and Restated Management Agreements (the "Agreements") between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc., the Funds' investment adviser (the "Adviser" or "KCM"). In advance of the meeting, the Trustees requested and received materials to assist them in considering the renewal of the Agreements. The materials provided contained information with respect to the factors enumerated below, including the Agreements, a memorandum prepared by the Trustees' independent legal counsel discussing in detail the Trustees' fiduciary obligations and the factors they should assess in considering the approval of the Agreements, detailed comparative information relating to the advisory fees, overall expenses and performance of the Funds, due diligence materials relating to the Adviser (including the Adviser's Form ADV, information regarding key personnel, information relating to the Adviser's and the Funds' compliance programs, including risk management, and the Code of Ethics), information that the Adviser regularly provides to the Trustees in connection with reports on its activities and the activities of the Funds at the Trustees' periodic Board meetings, and other pertinent information. In addition, the Independent Trustees, as defined below, met via teleconference with their independent counsel on November 8, 2016 and immediately prior to the Board meeting held on November 16, 2016, to review and discuss the information provided to them and their duties and responsibilities in connection with the renewal of the Agreements. Based on their evaluation of information provided by the Adviser, in conjunction with the Funds' other service providers, the Trustees, by a unanimous vote (including a separate vote of the Trustees who are not "interested persons," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Independent Trustees")), approved the renewal of the Agreements for an additional term of one year ending November 30, 2017.

DISCUSSION OF FACTORS CONSIDERED

In considering the renewal of the Agreements between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Adviser, the Trustees reviewed and analyzed various factors that they deter-

mined were relevant, including the factors enumerated below.

1. Nature, Extent and Quality of Services Provided to the Funds

The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by KCM to the Funds and the amount of time devoted to the Funds' affairs by KCM's staff. The Trustees considered KCM's specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day management of the Funds, including the investment strategies implemented by KCM, as well as the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the Funds' portfolio managers and other key personnel at KCM involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds. In executive session the Independent Trustees reviewed information provided by KCM in response to the Board's 15(c) requests, including the structure of KCM's compliance program and KCM's continuing commitment to the growth of the Funds' assets. The Trustees noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with representatives of KCM in person to discuss the Funds' performance and outlook, along with the marketing and compliance efforts made by KCM throughout the year. The Trustees also noted any services that extended beyond portfolio management, and they considered the trading capability of KCM, and the lack of both shareholder complaints and financial statement issues. The Trustees discussed in detail KCM's handling of compliance matters, including the quarterly and annual reports of the Trust's chief compliance officer to the Trustees on the effectiveness of KCM's compliance program. The Trustees concluded that KCM had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methods and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Agreements and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided to the Funds, as well as KCM's compliance program, were satisfactory and reliable.

2. Investment Performance of the Funds and the Adviser

In assessing the quality of the portfolio management services delivered by KCM, the Trustees compared the short-term and longer-term performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis and in comparison to a benchmark index and in comparison to a peer group as constructed using data from Morningstar, Inc. (each a "Morningstar Peer Group").

Buffalo Discovery Fund. The Trustees noted the Buffalo Discovery Fund's performance for the year-to-date, one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2016 was above the median for the Morningstar Peer Group of U.S. open-end mid cap growth

The Trustees further noted that the Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund's performance for the year-to-date and five-year periods ended September 30, 2016 was above the Morningstar Peer Group median, falling into the first quartile for the five-year period, and the second quartile for the year-to-date period, and that Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund's performance for the one-year period ended September 30, 2016 was equal to the Morningstar Peer Group median. The Trustees further noted that for the one-year and five-year periods end-

ed September 30, 2016, the Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Total Return Index and the Lipper Small Cap Growth Funds Index, but had underperformed the same indexes for the ten-year period ended September 30, 2016, and had significantly underperformed the same indexes for the three-year period ended September 30, 2016.

104



2016, the Buffalo Small Cap Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Growth Total Return Index and the Lipper Small Cap Growth Funds Index. The Trustees also compared the performance of the Buffalo Small Cap Fund to that of other accounts managed by KCM using investment strategies substantially similar to that of the Fund, and noted that for all periods the performance of the Fund was comparable to that of the other accounts.

After considering all of the information including specific responses regarding Fund performance, including KCM's efforts to improve performance of underperforming Funds, the Trustees concluded that the performance obtained by KCM for the Funds was satisfactory under current market conditions and in light of each Fund's investment objective, strategies and policies. Although past performance is not a guarantee or indication of future results, the Trustees determined that the Funds and their shareholders were likely to benefit from KCM's continued management.

3. Costs of Services Provided and Profits Realized by the Adviser

The Trustees considered the cost of services and the structure of KCM's fees, including a review of the expense analyses and other pertinent material with respect to the Funds. The Trustees reviewed related statistical information, including the comparative expenses, expense components and peer group selections. The Trustees considered the cost structure of each Fund relative to its Morningstar Peer Group.

The Trustees also considered the overall profitability of the Funds to KCM and examined the level of profits that could be expected to accrue to KCM from the fees payable under the Management Agreements, as well as the Funds' brokerage commissions and use of soft dollars by KCM. These considerations were based on materials requested by the Trustees specifically for the meeting, as well as the presentations made by KCM over the course of the year.

In reviewing the Morningstar 15(c) materials, the Board noted that the Buffalo Funds operate under a unitary fee structure whereby many of the Funds' ordinary operating expenses are paid by KCM out of its advisory fee rather than paid directly by the Funds. The Board noted the difficulty of comparing the Buffalo Funds' to non-unitary fee funds and observed that the advisory fee comparison in the Board materials which used the management fee excluding the fees paid by KCM to U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC under a master servicing agreement, and referred to below as the net management fee, was the most appropriate. The Board also noted that the net expense ratio used in the Morningstar comparative data excludes any 12b-1 fees imposed by other funds.

Buffalo Discovery Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo Discovery Fund's net management fee of 0.70% fell within the second quartile and was below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.76% and median of 0.75%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 1.01% for the Buffalo Discovery Fund fell in the third quartile, equal to the Morningstar Peer Group average of 1.01%.

Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund's net management fee of 0.65% fell within the second quartile and was below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.79% and median of 0.75%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 0.95% for the Buffalo Dividend Focus Fund fell within the first quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 1.16%, which fell within the third quartile.

Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund's net management fee of 1.15% fell within the third quartile and was above the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.98% and median of 1.00%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 1.47% for the Buffalo Emerging Opportunities Fund fell within the fourth quartile, above the Morningstar Peer Group average of 1.28%, which fell within the third quartile. KCM noted the challenges in providing a comparable peer group in evaluating the management fees and expense ratio for the Emerging Opportunities Fund explaining that the Morningstar Peer Group for the Emerging Opportunities Fund is composed of a majority of small cap funds (noting that Morningstar does not have a peer group category specifically tailored for micro capitalization funds which more closely reflect the companies owned by the Emerging Opportunities Fund).

Buffalo Flexible Income Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo Flexible Income Fund's net management fee of 0.70% fell at the bottom of the fourth quartile and was above the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.58% and median of 0.63%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 1.01% for the Buffalo Flexible Income Fund fell within the fourth quartile, above the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.67%, which fell within the second quartile. Mr. Brethour noted the challenges in providing a comparable peer group in evaluating the management fees and expense ratio for the Flexible Income Fund explaining that the Morningstar Peer Group for the Flexible Income Fund is composed of funds that incorporate government treasuries within their fixed income portion of assets, versus high yield corporate bonds, as used by the Flexible Income Fund.

Buffalo Growth Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo Growth Fund's net management fee of 0.65% fell at the top


105

(Continued)

of the first quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.74% and median of 0.73%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 0.91% for the Buffalo Growth Fund fell within the second quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average and median of 0.97%, which fell at the top of the second quartile.

Buffalo High Yield Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo High Yield Fund's net management fee of 0.70% fell within the fourth quartile, above the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.64% and median of 0.63%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 1.01% for the Buffalo High Yield Fund fell in the fourth quartile, above the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.85%, which fell within the third quartile.

Buffalo International Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo International Fund's net management fee of 0.70% fell in the first quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average and median of 0.81%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 1.05% for the Buffalo International Fund fell within the second quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 1.13%, which fell within the third quartile.

Buffalo Large Cap Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo Large Cap Fund's net management fee of 0.65% fell at the top of the first quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.85% and median of 0.80%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 0.95% for the Buffalo Large Cap Fund fell within the first quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 1.17%, which fell within the third quartile.

Buffalo Mid Cap Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo Mid Cap Fund's net management fee of 0.70% fell within the first quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.82% and median of 0.79%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 1.01% for the Buffalo Mid Cap Fund fell in the second quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 1.06%, which fell within the third quartile.

Buffalo Small Cap Fund. The Trustees noted that the Buffalo Small Cap Fund's net management fee of 0.70% fell within the second quartile and was below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 0.78% and median of 0.77%. The Trustees further noted that the net expense ratio of 1.01% for the Buffalo Small Cap Fund fell within the second quartile, below the Morningstar Peer Group average of 1.03%, which also fell within the second quartile. The Trustees further noted that the annual management fee is subject to reduced fees paid on assets in excess of certain levels.

The Trustees concluded that the Funds' expenses and the management fees paid to KCM were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance, expense and management fee information. The Trustees further concluded that KCM's profit from sponsoring the Funds had not been, and currently was not, excessive and that KCM maintained adequate profit levels to support the services to the Funds.

4. Extent of Economies of Scale as the Funds Grow

The Trustees compared each Fund's expenses relative to its peer group and discussed realized and potential economies of scale. The Trustees also reviewed the structure of each Fund's management fee and whether each Fund was large enough to generate economies of scale for shareholders or whether economies of scale would be expected to be realized as Fund assets grow (and if so, how those economies of scale were being or would be shared with shareholders). The Trustees noted that, with the exception of the breakpoint management fee schedule for the Buffalo Small Cap Fund, the Funds' management fee structures did not contain any breakpoint reductions as the Funds' assets grow in size, but that the feasibility of incorporating breakpoints would continue to be reviewed on a regular basis. With respect to the Trust's unitary fee structure, the Trustees concluded that the current fee structure was reasonable and reflected a sharing of economies of scale between KCM and the Funds at the Funds' current asset levels.

5. Benefits Derived from the Relationship with the Funds

The Trustees considered the direct and indirect benefits that could be received by KCM from its association with the Funds. The Trustees examined the brokerage and commissions of KCM with respect to the Funds. The Trustees concluded that the benefits KCM may receive, such as greater name recognition, growth in separate account management services, greater exposure to press coverage, or increased ability to obtain research or brokerage services, appear to be reasonable, and in many cases may benefit the Funds through growth in assets.

CONCLUSIONS

The Trustees considered all of the foregoing factors. In considering the Agreements, the Trustees did not identify any one factor as all-important, but rather considered these factors collectively in light of the Funds' surrounding circumstances and concluded that the Funds and their shareholders would benefit from the Adviser's continued management. Based on this review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved the renewal of the Agreements with the Funds as being in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
