NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS

1.Securities Valuation

 

Conestoga Funds (the “Trust”) consists of two series, Conestoga Small Cap Fund and Conestoga SMid Cap Fund (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds value their respective portfolio securities at market value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each business day the NYSE is open for business. The Funds value their listed securities on the basis of the security’s last sale price on the security’s primary exchange, if available, otherwise at the exchange’s most recently quoted bid price. NASDAQ-listed securities are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Investments representing shares of other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such companies. When using a quoted price and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy (see below). In the event that market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable due to market or other events, the Funds value their securities and other assets at fair value, as determined in good faith by the Trust’s officers, in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Trust. Under these procedures, the securities will be classified as Level 2 or 3 within the fair value hierarchy, depending on the inputs used. Unavailable or unreliable market quotes may be due to the following factors: a substantial bid-ask spread; infrequent sales resulting in stale prices; insufficient trading volume; small trade sizes; a temporary lapse in any reliable pricing source; and actions of the securities or futures markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading. As a result, the prices of securities used to calculate each Fund’s NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.

 

Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) establish a single authoritative definition of fair value, set out a framework for measuring fair value and require additional disclosures about fair value measurements.

 

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs

 

The inputs or methods used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

 

 

 

CONESTOGA FUNDS

NOTES TO SCHEDULES OF INVESTMENTS (Continued)

 

 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of June 30, 2019:

 

Conestoga Small Cap Fund  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Common Stocks  $2,605,858,666   $-   $-   $2,605,858,666 
Money Market Funds   20,546,697    -    -    20,546,697 
Total  $2,626,405,363   $-   $-   $2,626,405,363 
                     
Conestoga SMid Cap Fund    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total  
Common Stocks  $108,832,256   $-   $-   $108,832,256 
Total  $108,832,256   $-   $-   $108,832,256 

 

Refer to each Fund’s Schedule of Investments for a listing of the common stocks by sector and industry type. The Funds did not have any derivative instruments or assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of or during the period ended June 30, 2019.

 

2.Investment Transactions

 

Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

 

3.Federal Income Tax

 

The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of June 30, 2019:

 

   Small Cap Fund   SMid Cap Fund 
Tax cost of portfolio investments  $1,682,943,104   $86,670,651 
Gross unrealized appreciation  $983,058,507   $24,886,092 
Gross unrealized depreciation   (39,596,248)   (2,724,487)
Net unrealized appreciation  $943,462,259   $22,161,605 

 

The difference between the federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the Schedule of Investments cost for each Fund is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains and losses under income tax regulations and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

4.Sector Risk

 

If a Fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of the Fund than would be the case if the Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss in the Fund and increase the volatility of the Fund’s NAV per share. Occasionally, market conditions, regulatory changes or other developments may negatively impact a particular sector. As of June 30, 2019, Conestoga Small Cap Fund had 20.6% and 28.8% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Producer Durables and Technology sectors, respectively, and Conestoga SMid Cap Fund had 20.9%, 25.1% and 22.7% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Health Care, Producer Durables and Technology sectors, respectively.

5.Affiliated Issuers

 

A company is considered an affiliate of a Fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 if the Fund’s holdings in that company represent 5% or more of the outstanding voting shares of that company. As of September 30, 2018, NVE Corporation was an affiliate of the Conestoga Small Cap Fund, but as of June 30, 2019, is no longer an affiliate of the Fund. As of June 30, 2019, Conestoga Small Cap Fund owns 5.70%, 6.12%, 8.13% and 5.22% of the outstanding voting shares of Douglas Dynamics, Inc., LeMaitre Vascular, Inc., Mesa Laboratories, Inc., and Vocera Communications, Inc., respectively. The industry and percentage of net assets for these holdings can be found on Conestoga Small Cap Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Further information on these holdings for the period ended June 30, 2019 appears below:
