SHAREHOLDER LETTER

May 31, 2024 (UNAUDITED)

Dear Fellow Shareholder,

July 2024

The 2nd Quarter was another strong period for stocks as tailwinds from an expected soft landing, excitement around Artificial Intelligence (AI), and anticipation of upcoming interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve drove the S&P 500 to a new all-time high. The market rally this year has been concentrated with a handful of Big Tech names ("Magnificent 7") up 33% while the remaining 493 stocks in the S&P 500 only achieved modest gains of 5%.

Against this backdrop, the TANAKA Growth Fund was up 6.2% and 11.2% in the calendar 2nd Quarter and 1st Half, respectively, versus gains of 7.1% and 21.0% for the Wilshire 2500 Growth index and 4.3% and 15.3% for the S&P 500. Many of the stocks that drove the Fund's outperformance in 2023 have further added to gains this year, particularly our basket of Technology companies spanning across the AI technology value chain from the semiconductor chips powering AI algorithms and the tools needed to make these chips to the consumer and enterprise products and services being enhanced by AI. The narrow nature of the market rally left out several of our small, mid, and large-cap stock-picks in Clean Energy, Financials, Specialty Pharma, and Industrial Automation, some of which we had added to earlier in the year in anticipation of a market rotation and broadening. We expect this broadening in the market to provide a tailwind in the next 12 months to these holdings that we believe have cheap relative valuations and attractive long-term growth opportunities.

While the strong gains in equities this year have been driven by expanding valuations, we believe the next leg higher for stocks will need support from improved corporate earnings growth, lower interest rates, and broader participation by smaller and non-Tech companies. Stretched valuations and slowing economic growth may warrant some caution, but market momentum can be a powerful force that persists for extended periods, and we would note that such strong performance in the 1st half historically leads to favorable equity returns during the 2nd half of the year. The wide divergence between "winners" and "losers" in this environment creates ample opportunities, in our view, for active managers like ourselves to find great companies at attractive prices that are currently being overlooked but with potential to outperform even if the broader market indices slow.

Investment Outlook

The US economy continues to exceed expectations with support from resilient consumer and business spending offsetting highly restrictive monetary policy. Economic activity has slowed in recent months as pandemic-era excess savings are depleting, however rising real wages, a strong labor market, and a household wealth effect from gains in the stock market should continue to propel the economy forward, in our view. Inflation has come down significantly since its pandemic high of 9% and we believe will continue to trend towards the Fed's 2% target albeit on a slower and bumpier path. The Federal Reserve has held interest rates steady for almost a year and has indicated that its next move will be a cut, which could happen as early as September.

Conditions for equities continue to be favorable with tailwinds from a slowing but still growing economy, the prospect of upcoming interest rate cuts as inflation eases, expectations for improving corporate earnings, and increased investment behind Artificial Intelligence. With the 1st Half rally driven primarily by expansion in valuations which have limited further runway from here, we believe corporate earnings growth will need to do the heavy lifting for stocks going forward and are encouraged that consensus estimates point to accelerating profit growth through the back half of the year. The highly concentrated nature of the stock market's gains this year does raise questions about its sustainability so we would like to see more companies begin to participate in the rally. In the near-term, we continue to monitor possible downside risks to equities from elevated valuations, the

potential for rates to remain higher if progress on inflation stalls, a further loss in economic momentum, and escalating geopolitical conflicts. We are also keeping an eye on the upcoming US Presidential election and implications for the fiscal deficit, which is already historically high and may worsen depending on newly proposed policies.

Portfolio Strategy

2024 has been a tale of two markets with AI excitement and sustained higher interest rates creating a greater dispersion between the "haves" and "have nots." Earlier this year, we modestly trimmed a few of our best performing Tech stocks and redeployed the cash into some of our small- and mid-cap stock-picks that had not yet moved in anticipation of the next phase of the stock market rally, which we believe will be broader and more inclusive. Although Big Tech continued to dominate the rally in the 1st half, we prefer to be early with our portfolio moves and the Fund was still able to benefit from our significant Tech holdings aligned with AI and the Digital Revolution, which make up almost half of our portfolio. We continue to believe that the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence is only in its early stages with massive ongoing investments in computing infrastructure by leading Tech companies including Tesla, which is spending $10 Billion on AI training and inference this year alone, and payoffs from the technology just beginning to be realized across industries as exemplified by JP Morgan's citation of $1 Billion in benefits to its business from AI in 2023 and its prediction that Generative AI could add 10% to global GDP.

Concentration in today's market does not last forever and we believe it is only a matter of time before stocks outside the select group of mega-cap Tech companies begin to generate better performance. As such, we feel optimistic about our portfolio's positioning, which we believe gives us two ways to win with meaningful exposure to the market-leading Tech companies benefiting from AI as well as stock-picks in areas like Clean Energy, Financials, and Specialty Pharma that have not yet moved but may participate more if the market broadens, which becomes more likely as the Fed begins to cut interest rates. We also continue to own Blue Chip holdings that help balance the portfolio with more stable earnings and provide some downside protection in the event of a weaker market environment. We will continue to look for new names to keep the portfolio fresh with a bias towards underappreciated Platform Growth™ companies that are soon approaching inflection points in their earnings and cash flow generation and may also provide diversification from our current holdings. Although the market is at an all-time high and downside risks are present, we remind shareholders that time in the market is a much more effective long-term investment strategy than trying to time the market and therefore we prefer to keep our portfolio largely invested through economic and market cycles.

Review of Fiscal 2nd Quarter

In the Fund's fiscal 2nd Quarter ending 5/31/24, the Fund was up 8.5% vs. gains of 4.5% and 3.9% for the Wilshire 2500 Growth and S&P 500 indexes. For the fiscal 1st Half ending 5/31/24, the Fund was up 15.8% vs. gains of 19.8% and 16.4% for the Wilshire 2500 Growth and S&P 500 indexes.

The largest contributors to the Fund's gains in the quarter were many of the same stocks that drove our outperformance in 2023: Technology and Uranium. Our Semiconductor and Semi Capital Equipment companies continue to benefit from surging demand for high-performance computing and memory chips tied to the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence across more industries while our top Consumer Electronics holding rebounded after unveiling new Generative AI features to be rolled out across its lineup of smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Our Uranium stocks gained in the quarter as the momentum behind nuclear power received an additional boost from the growing recognition by utilities and cloud companies that more baseload electricity is required to support the power

needs of new AI-focused data centers. Our portfolio also benefited from our recently increased position in a Specialty Pharma company whose commercial drug may be able to treat a patient population 5-10x larger than initially expected following a recent study that unveiled the metabolic disease is far more prevalent in Americans than previously believed.

Gains in the quarter were partially offset by declines in several of our stock-picks that fell out of favor with investors predominantly focused on AI beneficiaries. One of our liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure companies suffered a delay in the start-up of its new LNG plant, however LNG production is about to begin within the next month which should provide a boost to the company's revenue, earnings and cash flow. Our IT consulting holding saw its growth slow in recent quarters as macroeconomic uncertainty constrained IT budgets, however we believe the growing adoption of AI will be a significant tailwind to its business over the next 5-10 years. Our Private Equity stock-pick underperformed due to modest deal activity and high interest rates but should benefit from a decline in interest rates later in the year. One of our Biotech stocks also lagged but we are looking forward to upcoming commercial launches of new drugs and the advancement of several other medicines in late-stage clinical trials.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

May 31, 2024 (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

The TANAKA Growth Fund (the "Fund") was organized as a series of TANAKA Funds, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company") on November 5, 1997; the Fund commenced operations on December 30, 1998. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to provide growth of capital. The Investment Advisor of the Fund is Tanaka Capital Management, Inc. (the "Advisor").

NON-DIVERSIFICATION RISK: As a non-diversified fund, the Fund may invest larger positions in small number of companies of its total assets. The Fund's performance may be more sensitive to any single economic, business, political or regulatory occurrence than the value of shares of a diversified investment company. The Fund's performance may be affected disproportionately by the performance of relatively few stocks. In addition, the volatility of the Fund may be greater than the overall volatility of the market.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund is an investment company that follows the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies.

Securities Valuations - All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Federal Income Taxes - The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund intends to qualify each year as "regulated investment companies" ("RIC") under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained, assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years (2020-2022) or expected to be taken in the Fund's 2023 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal, however the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

TANAKA GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

May 31, 2024 (UNAUDITED)

Security Transactions and Related Income - The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income less foreign taxes withheld is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund's understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.

Dividends and Distributions - The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to its shareholders on at least an annual basis. The Fund intends to distribute its net realized long-term capital gains and its net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year. Distributions to shareholders which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from its ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund.

Foreign Currency - Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on a Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("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 reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and cash equivalents - The Fund considers all highly liquid debt instruments having original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The

Fund may, during the ordinary course of business, maintain account balances with banks in excess of federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced losses on these accounts, and management believes that the Fund is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATIONS

Processes and Structure

The Fund's Board of Directors (the "Board") has adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Fair Value Pricing - Under certain circumstances, the Advisor will use its best efforts to arrive at the fair value of a security held by the Fund under all reasonably ascertainable facts and circumstances. The Advisor must prepare a report for the Board not less than quarterly containing a complete listing of any securities for which fair value pricing was employed and detailing the specific reasons for such fair value pricing. The Fund has adopted written policies and procedures to guide the Advisor with respect to the circumstances under which, and the methods to be used, in fair valuing securities.

The Fund invests the majority of its assets in frequently traded exchange listed securities of domestic issuers with relatively liquid markets and calculates its NAV as of the time those exchanges close. However, the Fund may invest in securities on foreign exchanges or in illiquid or restricted securities. Accordingly, there may be circumstances under which the Fund would hold a security that would need to be fair value priced. Examples of when it would be likely that the Fund security would require fair value pricing include but are not limited to: if the exchange on which a portfolio security trades were to close early; if trading in a particular security were to be halted on an exchange and did not resume trading prior to calculation of NAV; if a significant event that materially affected the value of a security were to occur after the securities' exchange had closed but before the Fund's NAV had been calculated; and if a security that had a significant exposure to foreign operations was subject to a material event or occurrence in a foreign jurisdiction in which the company had significant operations.

Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs are as follows:

·

Level 1. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

·

Level 2. Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar

Semi-Annual Report | 14

TANAKA GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

May 31, 2024 (UNAUDITED)

instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

·

Level 3. Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability to the extent that relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund's own assumptions about the assumptions that a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability at the measurement date, and that would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

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 in its entirety.

Fair Value Measurements

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Fund's major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Equity securities (Domestic and Foreign common stock) - Securities traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded, and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Certain foreign securities may be fair valued using a pricing service that considers the correlation of the trading patterns of the foreign security to the intraday trading in the U.S. markets for investments such as American Depositary Receipts, financial futures, Exchange Traded Funds, and the movement of the certain indexes of securities based on a statistical analysis of the historical relationship, and are categorized in Level 2.

Fixed income securities (convertible bonds) - The fair value of fixed income securities is estimated using various techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (when observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads adjusted for any basis difference between cash and derivative instruments. Although most fixed income securities are categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, in instances when lower relative weight is placed on transaction prices, quotations, or similar observable inputs, they are categorized in level 3.

Short term investments - Short term investments are valued using amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These securities will be categorized in Level 1 of the fair value

NOTE 4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Fund retains the Advisor to manage the Fund's investments and act as Administrator to the Fund. The Advisor was organized as a Delaware corporation in 1986. Graham Y. Tanaka, portfolio manager and President of the Advisor, is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Certain officers of the Advisor serve as director and officers of the Fund.

Under the terms of an Investment Advisory Agreement, (the "Advisory Agreement"), the Advisor manages the Fund's investments subject to approval by the Board. As compensation for its management services, the Fund is obligated to pay the Advisor a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Advisor earned a fee of $104,453 from the Fund. At May 31, 2024, the Fund owed the Advisor $17,540 for management fees.

Pursuant to a written expense limitation agreement, the Fund's Adviser has agreed to waive or limit its fees and assume other expenses of the Fund (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenditures capitalized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or other extraordinary expenses), so that the Fund's ratio of total annual operating expenses is limited to 2.45% for Class R shares. The expense limitation agreement is effective on an annual basis and may be terminated only by the Board of Trustees by providing 90 days notice, or if the Adviser ceases to serve as adviser to the Fund. The Adviser is entitled to reimbursement of fees waived or expenses assumed subject to the limitations that (i) the reimbursements is made for fees waived or expenses incurred not more than three years prior to the date of the reimbursement and (ii) the reimbursement may not be made if it would cause the Fund's annual expense limitation to be exceeded for Class R Shares. Further, any recoupments will be subject to any lower expenses limitations that have been later implemented by the Board. For the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Advisor recouped no fees.

Semi-Annual Report | 16

TANAKA GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

May 31, 2024 (UNAUDITED)

Under the terms of the Administrative Agreement, the Advisor will provide administrative services which are necessary for the day-to-day operations of the Fund. As compensation for the administrative services, the Fund is obligated to pay the Advisor a fee computed and accrued daily and paid monthly at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Advisor earned a fee of $10,445 from the Fund under the Administrative Agreement. At May 31, 2024, the Fund owed the Advisor $1,787 for administrative fees.

The Fund has adopted a plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for each class of shares authorized (each such plan, a "Distribution Plan") as amended and approved on December 14, 2020. The Fund is obligated to pay a fee computed and accrued daily at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets. The 12b-1 fees are paid to brokers, dealers and other financial institutions, including the investment adviser to the "Fund", (collectively, the "Service Organizations") for services in connection with sales of shares of the Fund. Total fees incurred under the Distribution Plan for the six months ended May 31, 2024, were $26,113. For the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Advisor received 12b-1 fees of $14,957 that were used by the Advisor to cover allowable expenses under the Distribution Plan.

NOTE 7. TAX MATTERS

As of November 30, 2023, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities on a tax basis, were as follows:

Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities

$ 12,701,532

Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities

Net unrealized appreciation on investment securities

$ 12,396,034

Tax Cost of investment securities *

$ 8,451,810

* Includes short-term investment.

The difference between book and tax unrealized is mainly attributable to the tax deferral of wash sales.

The Fund's distributable earnings on a tax basis are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of November 30, 2023, the Fund's most recent fiscal year-end, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

10,454,295

Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31 and net ordinary losses incurred after December 31 may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The Fund's carryforward losses, post-October losses and late year losses are determined only at the end of each fiscal year. As of November 30, 2023, the Fund elected to defer ordinary late year losses as indicated in the chart below.

Ordinary Late Year Losses Deferred

$ 164,674

As of November 30, 2023, the Fund recorded permanent book/tax differences of $206,717 from distributable earnings (an increase to distributable earnings) to paid-in-capital (a decrease to paid-in-capital) due to net operating losses and a taxable overdistribution.

As of November 30, 2023, the Fund has capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes, which can be used to offset future capital gains indefinitely, as follows:

Long-term non-expiring

$ 947,128

TANAKA GROWTH FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

May 31, 2024 (UNAUDITED)

To the extent these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the amount offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

For the year ended November 30, 2023, there was a long-term capital gain distribution of $16,243 paid.

For the year ended November 30, 2022, there was a long-term capital gain and return of capital distribution of $1,362,704 and $343, respectively, paid.

NOTE 8. INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain general indemnification to other parties. The Fund's maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. The Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

NOTE 9. SECTOR RISK

If the Fund's portfolio is overweighted in a certain industry sector, any negative development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the Fund than a fund that is not overweighted in that sector. For example, to the extent the Fund is overweighted in the technology sector it will be affected by developments affecting the applicable sector. The sector is subject to changing government regulations that may limit profits and restrict services offered. Companies in this sector also may be significantly affected by intense competition. In addition, technology products may be subject to rapid obsolescence.

NOTE 10. MARKET RISK

Overall market risks may also affect the value of the Fund. Factors such as domestic economic growth and market conditions, interest rate levels and political events affect the securities markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issue, recessions and depressions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Fund and its investments and may impair market liquidity, thereby increasing liquidity risk. The Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments.

NOTE 11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the issuance of these financial statements and has noted no further events requiring disclosure or adjustment.

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the TANAKA Growth Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; transaction fees such as redemption fees and ongoing costs; and other Fund expenses. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs (in dollars) only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second line of the table 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.

The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, December 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table 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 value by $1,000 (for example, 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 Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. As a shareholder of the TANAKA Growth Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of transaction fees such as redemption fees and ongoing costs; and other Fund expenses that are not included in this calculation.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. 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 this Fund 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. As a shareholder of the TANAKA Growth Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of transaction fees such as redemption fees and ongoing costs; and other Fund expenses that are not included in this calculation.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the "Liquidity Rule") under the Investment Company Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources.

During the six months ended May 31, 2024, the Trust's Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the "Committee") reviewed the Fund's investments and determined that the Fund held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Fund's liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Fund's liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
