FINANCIAL REVIEW

Ancora Trust

Notes to the Financial Statements

June 30, 2024 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION

Ancora Income Fund (the "Income Fund"), Ancora/Thelen Small-Mid Cap Fund (the "Small-Mid Cap Fund"), Ancora MicroCap Fund (the "MicroCap Fund"), and Ancora Dividend Value Equity Fund (the "Dividend Value Equity Fund"), (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are each a separate series of Ancora Trust (the "Trust"), an Ohio business trust under a Declaration of Trust dated August 20, 2003. The Declaration of Trust permits the Trust to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest representing interests in separate funds of securities, and it permits the Trust to offer separate classes of each such series. The Income Fund's investment objective is to obtain a high level of income, with a secondary objective of capital appreciation. The Small-Mid Cap Fund's investment objective is to obtain capital appreciation in the value of its shares. The MicroCap Fund's investment objective is to obtain capital appreciation in the value of its shares. The Dividend Value Equity Fund's investment objective is to provide growth of income and long-term capital appreciation. Each Fund is an "open-end" management investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund is a "diversified" company as defined in the 1940 Act. The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of the Trust has authorized that shares of the Funds may be offered in two classes: Class I and Class S. Class S shares are currently offered in the Small-Mid Cap Fund only. Class I and Class S shares are identical, except as to minimum investment requirements and the services offered to and expenses borne by each class. Class S and Class I shares are offered continuously at net asset value ("NAV"). Class I shares are subject to shareholder service fees. Class I and Class S shares are subject to a contractual limit on total operating expenses. Income and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative net assets. The investment advisor of the Funds is Ancora Advisors LLC (the "Advisor").

The Funds will deduct a 2% redemption fee from redemption proceeds if shares are purchased and then redeemed within 90 days. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Income Fund - Class I did not collect any redemption fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Small-Mid Cap Fund - Class I collected $1,498 in redemption fees and Class S did not collect any redemption fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the MicroCap Fund - Class I collected $354 in redemption fees. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Dividend Value Equity Fund - Class I did not collect any redemption fees.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies.

NOTE 2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP").

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

Use Of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes - The Funds' policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. It is the Funds' policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. This Internal Revenue Code requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income. In addition, it is the Funds' policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.

The Funds recognize the tax benefits of certain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed. Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal; however the Funds' are 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 twelve months.

As of and during the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalty, if any, related to recognized tax benefits or income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Distributions To Shareholders - The Income Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income, if any, as dividends to its shareholders on a monthly basis. The MicroCap Fund, Small-Mid Cap Fund, and Dividend Value Equity Fund intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income, if any, as dividends to their shareholders on at least an annual basis. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. All of the Funds intend to distribute their net realized long term capital gains and net realized short term capital gains, if any, at least once a year. 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 their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused by differences in the timing and 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, the results of operations, or net asset value per share of a fund. The permanent reclassifications were mainly due to prior year tax return true-ups and investments in partnerships.

Security Transactions and Related Income - The Funds follow industry practice and record security transactions based on the trade date. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized or accreted using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the appropriate country's rules and tax rates.

The Funds may hold certain investments which pay dividends to their shareholders based upon available funds from operations. It is possible for these dividends to exceed the underlying investments' taxable earnings and profits resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively.

Expenses - Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific Fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual Funds based on each Fund's relative net assets or other appropriate basis as determined by the Board.

Indemnification - The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

NOTE 3. SECURITIES VALUATIONS

The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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 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 relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds' own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and 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 Funds' major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Money market funds are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the fund. The money market funds will be categorized as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Equity securities (common stocks including real estate investment trust senior securities, traditional preferred securities, investment companies, and corporate bond trust certificates) - are valued by using market quotations furnished by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current market value or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued at a fair price as determined by the Advisor in good faith, in accordance with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. Manually priced securities held by the Funds (if any) are reviewed by the Board on a quarterly basis. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are classified in Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Fixed income securities - Fixed income securities are valued by a pricing service when the Advisor believes such prices are accurate and reflect the fair value of such securities. If the Advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing services does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor. Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation. Generally, fixed income securities are categorized as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the inputs used to value each Fund's assets measured at fair value as of June 30, 2024:
