Organization
Sound

under
the

of
1940
(the

The

company
as
defined
in
Financial
Accounting
Standards
Codification
946
Financial

Investment
Companies.
The
total
number
of
shares
of
common
stock
which
the
Fund
is
authorized
to
issue
is
200,000,000,
par

$0.001
per
share
of
which

Significant
Accounting
Policies
This
schedule
of
investments
is
prepared
in
accordance
with
accounting
principles
generally
accepted
in
the
United
States
of
America
(“GAAP”),
which
require
management
to
make
estimates
and
assumptions
that
affect
the
reported
amounts
of
assets
and
liabilities.
Actual
results
could
differ
from
those
estimates.
The
following
represents
the
significant
accounting
policies
of
the
Fund:
a.
Security
Valuation
Exchange-traded
securities
including
those
traded
on
the
National
Association
of
Securities
Dealers’
Automated
Quotation
system
(“NASDAQ”),
are
valued
at
the
last
quoted
sale
price
or
official
closing
price
as
provided
by
independent
pricing
services
as
of
the
close
of
trading
on
the
system
or
exchange
on
which
they
are
primarily
traded,
on
each
Fund
business
day.
In
the
absence
of
a
sale,
such
securities
are
valued
at
the
mean
of
the
last
bid
and
asked
prices.
Non-exchange-traded
securities
for
which
over-the-counter
market
quotations
are
readily
available
are
generally
valued
at
the
mean
between
the
current
bid
and
asked
prices
provided
by
independent
pricing
services.
Investments
in
other
open-end
regulated
investment
companies
are
valued
at
their
publicly
traded
net
asset
value
(“NAV”).
Pursuant
to
Rule
2a-5
under
the
Investment
Company
Act,
the
Board
has
designated
Sound
Shore
Management,
Inc.
(the
"Adviser"),
as
the
Fund's
valuation
designee
to
perform
any
fair
value
determinations
for
securities
and
other
assets
held
by
the
Fund.
The
Adviser
is
subject
to
the
oversight
of
the
Board
and
certain
reporting
and
other
requirements
intended
to
provide
the
Board
the
information
needed
to
oversee
the
Adviser's
fair
value
determinations.
The
Adviser
is
responsible
for
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments
for
which
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
in
accordance
with
policies
and
procedures
that
have
been
approved
by
the
Board.
Under
these
procedures,
the
Adviser
convenes
on
a
regular
and
ad
hoc
basis
to
review
such
investments
and
considers
a
number
of
factors,
including
5
Sound
Shore
Fund,
Inc.
NOTES
TO
SCHEDULE

INVESTMENTS
(Unaudited)(Continued)
September

2025
valuation
methodologies
and
significant
unobservable
inputs,
when
arriving
at
fair
value.
The
Board
has
approved
the
Adviser’s
fair
valuation
procedures
as
a
part
of
the
Fund’s
compliance
program
and
will
review
any
changes
made
to
the
procedures.
The
Adviser
provides
fair
valuation
inputs
pursuant
to
its
fair
valuation
procedures
if
market
quotations
are
not
readily
available
(including
a
short
and
temporary
lapse
in
the
provision
of
a
price
by
the
regular
pricing
source)
or,
if
in
the
judgment
of
the
Adviser
the
prices
or
values
available
do
not
represent
the
fair
value
of
the
instrument.
Factors
which
may
cause
the
Adviser
to
make
such
a
judgment
include,
but
are
not
limited
to,
the
following:
(i)
only
a
bid
price
or
an
asked
price
is
available,
(ii)
the
spread
between
the
bid
price
and
the
asked
price
is
substantial,
(iii)
the
frequency
of
sales,
(iv)
the
thinness
of
the
market,
(v)
the
size
of
reported
trades,
and
(vi)
actions
of
the
securities
markets,
such
as
the
suspension
or
limitation
of
trading.
Fair
valuation
is
based
on
subjective
factors
and,
as
a
result,
the
fair
value
price
of
a
security
may
differ
from
the
security’s
market
price
and
may
not
be
the
price
at
which
the
security
may
be
sold.
Fair
valuation
could
result
in
a
NAV
different
from
one
determined
by
using
market
quotations.
Valuation
inputs
used
to
determine
the
value
of
the
Fund’s
investments
are
summarized
in
the
three
broad
levels
listed
below:
Level
1
-
quoted
prices
in
active
markets
for
identical
assets
Level
2
-
other
significant
observable
inputs
(including
quoted
prices
of
similar
securities,
interest
rates,
prepayment
speeds,
credit
risk,
etc.)
Level
3
-
significant
unobservable
inputs
(including
the
Fund’s
own
assumptions
in
determining
the
fair
value
of
investments)
The
inputs
or
methodology
used
for
valuing
securities
are
not
necessarily
an
indication
of
the
risk
associated
with
investing
in
those
securities.
Pursuant
to
the
valuation
procedures
noted
previously,
equity
securities
(including
exchange-traded
securities
and
other
open-end
regulated
investment
companies)
are
generally
categorized
as
Level
1
securities
in
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
Investments
for
which
there
are
no
quotations,
or
for
which
quotations
do
not
appear
reliable,
are
valued
at
fair
value
as
determined
in
good
faith
by
the
Adviser
under
the
Adviser’s
fair
valuation
procedures.
These
valuations
are
typically
categorized
as
Level
2
or
Level
3
in
the
fair
value
hierarchy.
The
following
table

the
Fund’s
investments
