NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
For the six months ended June 30, 2026
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Volumetric Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a diversified, open-end investment company. The Fund's investment objective is capital growth. Its secondary objective is downside protection. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"), as detailed in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of FASB ASC Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies," including FASB Accounting Standards Update 2013-08.
a)Valuation of Securities: Investments in securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are valued at the closing price on the day of valuation. If a market quote is not available, the Fund will value the security at fair market value as determined in good faith by Volumetric Advisers, Inc. (the "Adviser"), as directed by the Board of Directors (the "Board").
GAAP establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures about fair value measurements. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's 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 (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)
·Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily indications of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of June 30, 2026, all the securities held by the Fund were valued using Level 1 inputs. See "Item 6 Investments" for a listing of securities valued using Level 1 inputs by security type and industry type, as required by GAAP.
b)Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
c)Federal Income Taxes: The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of the Fund's taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
The Fund recognizes the tax benefits or expenses of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has reviewed the Fund's tax positions taken on Federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years (2022-2025) and during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements.
The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
d)Distributions to Shareholders: It is the Fund's policy to distribute all net investment income, and all net realized gains, in excess of any available capital loss carryovers, at year end. The Board declared the following distribution for the year ended December 31, 2025.

e)Use of Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

On June 30, 2026, the cost of investments for Federal income tax purposes was $22,442,151. Accumulated net unrealized appreciation on investments was $15,117,957 consisting of $15,379,052 gross unrealized appreciation and $261,095 gross unrealized depreciation.
5. Federal Income Tax
As of December 31, 2025, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
|
Unrealized appreciation |
$ 12,798,956 |
|
Distributable earnings |
$ 12,798,956 |
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund recorded the following reclassification: the distributable earnings were increased by $28,134 and net capital paid in on shares of stock was decreased by $28,134. Such reclassifications are the result of permanent differences between the financial statements and income tax reporting requirements, and have no effect on the Fund's net assets.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
12
Under the Fund's organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund entered into contracts with its service providers, on behalf of the Fund, and others that provide for 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. The Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
7. Market and Geopolitical Risks
The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. A global pandemic and aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses, may have negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment.
8. Subsequent Events
Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.
9. Operations and Oversight
The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the President and Vice President of the Fund, who are responsible for the oversight functions of the Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
