COLORADO BONDSHARES
A TAX-EXEMPT FUND
Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
(1) Organization
Colorado BondShares - A Tax-Exempt Fund (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management company. The Fund's investment objectives are to maximize income exempt from federal income taxes and from personal income taxes of the State of Colorado to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and to seek opportunities for capital appreciation. The Fund's investment adviser is Freedom Funds Management Company ("Freedom Funds").
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
These financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies. This requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for the reporting period. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
The Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). This update is limited to disclosure requirements and does not impact the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available.
The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's portfolio management team serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM oversees the Fund's overall performance and is responsible for its long-term asset allocation outlined in the Fund's prospectus based on the investment objective executed by the Fund's portfolio management team. The CODM evaluates performance and makes resource allocation decisions based on financial information including portfolio composition, expected total returns, costs and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions). This information is presented in the fund's financial statements. Segment assets are reported as "total assets" on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and segment expenses are reported on the Statement of Operations.
(a) Investment Valuation and Risk
The fair value of securities for which there is no last sales price is determined either by an independent pricing service or management, considering market transactions and dealer quotes of comparable securities as well as proprietary pricing models.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (or management considers otherwise are no longer valid or reliable) are valued at fair value determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. This can occur in the event of, among other things, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, market disruptions, intra-day trading halts, and extreme market volatility. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price a security may result in a price materially different from the prices used by other mutual funds to determine net asset value or the price that may be realized upon the actual sale of the security. Short-term holdings are valued at current market quotations or amortized cost, whichever management believes best approximates fair value.
Fixed-income securities owned by the Fund are subject to interest-rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and market risk. The Fund invests in non-rated securities which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk and risk of loss of income and principal and may be more sensitive to economic conditions than lower yielding, higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund concentrates its investments in Colorado and, therefore, may be impacted by specific events, issuers or factors affecting Colorado. The Fund has more credit risk related to the economic conditions of Colorado than a portfolio with a broader geographical diversification. The Fund concentrates its investments in and the majority of the Fund's shareholders are located within Colorado and, therefore, may be impacted by specific events, issuers or factors affecting Colorado. The Company does not have any significant concentrations within any one shareholder.
Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that classifies securities based on valuation techniques used to measure fair value and distinguish between observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and the reporting entities own assumptions, which are not readily observable to market participants. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 Inputs: Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including management's own assumptions. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.
The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund's investments as defined by ASC 820 hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2026:

Transfers from Level 2 to Level 3 are because of a lack, or change of observable inputs or reduced market data reliability. Transfers from Level 3 to Level 2 are the result of observable inputs becoming available or increased market data reliability. The Fund's policy is to recognize transfers into and out of Level 3 when management becomes aware of a change to significant observable input or market data reliability. |
For the period ending March 31, 2026, two securities, CECFA Chavez Huerta Academy (CUSIPS: 19645UEJ9 and 19645UME1) were moved from a valuation based on a Level 2 pricing input to one based on a Level 3 pricing input. The third-party pricing vendor employed by the Fund stopped pricing the security, requiring it to be valued according to the Fund's pricing policy.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Fund's securities are collateral value, probability of default, and loss severity in the event of default. Any changes in unobservable inputs may result in substantial changes to fair value measurements.
| * |
The inputs for these securities are not readily available or cannot be reasonably estimated and are generally those inputs described in Note 2(a). The appropriateness of fair values for these securities is based on results of back testing, broker due diligence, unchanged price review and consideration of macro or security specific events. |
| ** |
Other unobservable inputs used in the discounted cash flow technique include collateral value and loss severity. These unobservable inputs are specific to the characteristics of each security being valued. |
(b) Cash
The Fund continually monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions with which it invests. As of March 31, 2026, and periodically throughout the year, the Fund has maintained balances in various operating accounts in excess of federally insured limits. The Fund's balances are covered up to $250,000 per institution.
(c) Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its net investment income and any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards to shareholders. The Fund distributes investment income monthly and due to the tax-exempt nature of its investments, the income is generally non-taxable to the shareholders. The Fund distributes net realized capital gains, if any, to its shareholders at least annually. Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to the differing treatment of tax allocations.
Management has reviewed the Fund's tax position for all open tax years. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax obligations. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax obligations as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund has no examinations in progress.
At March 31, 2026 the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

For tax purposes, capital losses may be carried over to offset future capital gains, if any. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, capital losses incurred by the Fund in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 are not subject to expiration and such losses retain their character as either short-term or long-term rather than being considered short-term as under previous law. Post-enactment capital losses must be fully utilized prior to utilizing any losses incurred in pre-enactment tax years.
(d) Defaulted or Non-income Producing Investments
The Fund discontinues the accrual of interest income on municipal bonds when the securities become delinquent as to payment of principal or interest, or when the Fund's investment adviser determines that an uncertainty exists as to the realization of all or a portion of the principal balance. The face amount of bonds for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued approximates $64,252,347 and such bonds have a value of $11,206,987 or 0.57% of net assets, as of March 31, 2026. These securities have been identified in the accompanying Schedule of Investments.
The Fund is not a party to any forbearance agreements as of March 31, 2026.
(e) Investment Transactions and Revenue Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, aggregated to $59,932,216 and $18,202,729 respectively.
Dividends to shareholders are declared each business day and paid monthly. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified-cost basis, which is the same basis the Fund uses for federal income tax purposes. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.
Variable Rate Demand Obligations ("VRDO") purchased by the Fund are floating rate obligations that have a nominal long-term maturity but have a coupon rate that is reset periodically (e.g., daily or weekly). The investor has the option to put the issue back to the trustee or tender agent at any time with specified (e.g., seven days) notice; accordingly the Fund treats these obligations as short-term holdings. On March 31, 2026, the interest rates paid on these obligations ranged from 2.40% to 2.47%.
(f) Classification of Distributions to Shareholders
The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
(g) Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis
The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued basis with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and may increase or decrease in value prior to the delivery date. The Fund maintains segregated assets with a value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund did not have any when-issued securities at March 31, 2026.
(3) Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has an unlimited number of no par value shares of beneficial interest authorized. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

(4) Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management fees paid to Freedom Funds were in accordance with the investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for an annual fee equivalent to 0.5% of the net assets of the Fund. Freedom Funds pays all expense associated with advertising, marketing, and distributing the Fund's shares and serves as the transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent, and registrar for the Fund. Freedom Funds provided certain transfer agency and shareholder services as part of the management fee arrangement for the period ended March 31, 2026. Transfer agency expenses on the Statement of Operations represent direct expenses charged to the Fund by third parties.
The Fund does not have any Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or Distributor. The Board of Trustees appointed a Chief Compliance Officer to the Fund in accordance with federal securities regulations. The Fund does not reimburse the Adviser for any compensation or fees associated with the Chief Compliance Officer.
(5) Custody Credits
Expenses paid indirectly by the Fund represent earnings credits on cash balances maintained with the Fund's custodian bank, UMB Bank, N.A. The earnings credits resulted in offsetting custodian fees of $45,781 for the period ended March 31, 2026.
(6) Indemnification
From time to time the Fund may be involved in certain disputes and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of its business. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the outcome of these proceedings, in management's opinion, based on a review with legal counsel, none of these disputes and legal actions is expected to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Fund's business.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
(7) Purchase Accrued Interest
Purchase accrued interest is typically a component of a municipal bond purchase and is paid on settlement date. The accrual period begins on the last interest payment date (or original issue date) and runs through the day immediately preceding the settlement date. The Fund has purchased three bonds from the Meadows Metropolitan Districts No. 1, 2 and 7 with an aggregate balance of purchase accrued of $90,436,317 (98.1% of the March 31, 2026 balance of $92,156,671). Approximately $294,099,288 of additional interest has accrued on the purchase accrued interest since its purchase in 2007. This additional accrued interest has been fair valued in accordance with ASC 820 at approximately $114,836,954 and is included in other assets net of liabilities in the Schedule of Investments. This amount bears interest at the rate of 7.999% and will be received over an uncertain period of years. The value of the Meadows bonds is contained within three separate line items of the financial statements which all relate to a single set of bonds that cannot be sold separately.
(8) Litigation
The Fund is periodically involved in various legal proceedings. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund has a litigation payable of $240,546 for all pending litigation matters primarily for the purpose of paying lawyer fees. Possible additional amounts cannot be currently estimated but will be set aside as needed. Although there can be no assurances, based on information available, management believes that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of the action described below and other matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material effect on the Fund's financial condition.
Marin Metropolitan District LTD Tax G.O. Series 2008 Bond
The Fund is the beneficial owner of bonds issued in 2008 (the "Bonds") by Marin Metropolitan District (the "District") as described more fully in the Fund's most recent quarterly schedule of portfolio holdings for the period ended December 31, 2025 on Form NPORT-P filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 2, 2026. The Bonds were issued in 2008 pursuant to a trust indenture (the "Trust Indenture") between the District, as issuer and UMB Bank, N.A. ("UMB"), as trustee (the "Trustee"). The original principal amount of Bonds was $30,485,000. The current principal amount of the Bonds is $17,485,000. The valuation of these Bonds as of March 31, 2026, is set forth in the schedule of investments.
On about June 24, 2022, the District filed an Amended Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (the "Complaint") against the Fund and the Trustee with the District Court, Arapahoe County, Colorado (the "Court"). The Complaint also names Century at Landmark, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company ("Century") as an "Interested Party" in the Complaint on the grounds that Century is the owner of the real property remaining in the District. In the Complaint, the District has asserted a single claim for relief for declaratory judgment. In essence, based on the rulings in Landmark Towers Association, Inc. v. UMB Bank, N.A. and Colorado BondShares (District Court, Arapahoe County, Colorado Case No. 11CV1076) (the "Landmark Litigation"), the District has requested that the Court declare that the Fund and the Trustee cannot compel the District to impose a tax levy on Century's parcel of real property within the District and that, further, the Court enjoin the Fund and the Trustee from attempting to compel the District to impose the Required Mill Levy (as such term is defined in the Trust Indenture) on Century's parcel of real property within the District. In response, the Fund and the Trustee filed Amended Counterclaims for breach of the District's resolution authorizing public debt in accordance with, and as required by, the Colorado Constitution (the "Bond Resolution"), declaratory judgment for breach of the Bond Resolution, declaratory judgment that the District has violated Colo. Const. art. XI, section 6 and the Bond Resolution, breach of the Trust Indenture, declaratory judgment that the District has violated the Trust Indenture, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment (the collectively, the "Counterclaims"). The Counterclaims seek a judgment in the full amount due and owing on the Bonds with accrued interest along with a declaration that the District is obligated to impose the Required Mill Levy under the terms of the Trust Indenture.
On October 16 and 17, 2023, the Court held a two-day non-jury trial on all remaining issues presented in the Complaint and the Counterclaims. On May 2, 2024, the Court issued Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Orders After Trial to Court finding in favor of the District and against the Fund, which precludes the Fund from seeking repayment of the amounts owed. On June 12, 2025, after full briefing, the Court of Appeals affirmed the Trial Court's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and Orders After Trial to the Court. On August 7, 2025, the Fund filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the Colorado Supreme Court which was denied on January 26, 2026. The Fund petitioned for and received an extension until May 27, 2026 for filing an appeal with the US Supreme Court if it chooses to do so. The Fund is presently weighing it's options and cannot estimate the amount of potential loss at this time.
