THE LEGACY FUNDS, INC. 


Dear Fellow Shareholders: 
 
               This is the fourth annual report of our Fund, covering the period November 1 st , 2002 through the end of the Fund’s fiscal year, October 31 st , 2003.

During the fiscal year of our Fund its Net Asset Value rose from $5.67 to $6.41, an increase of 13.05%, while the Standard & Poors 500 Index rose by 20.80%, the Lipper Large Capitalization Growth Fund Index by 18.51%, and the NASDAQ Composite by 45.98%. A year ago we adjusted the Fund’s portfolio to a more conservative market stance, reflecting the high level of uncertainly in the financial markets and the economy. This conservative approach caused us to favor sectors such as pharmaceutical and insurance issues, which lagged the subsequent overall recovery in the market. In addition we invested a portion of the Fund’s portfolio in good quality, high dividend paying preferred shares, treating these shares as a high-yielding reserve equivalent. The equity markets shifted to an upward bias in late March after which, once having been convinced economic activity was truly on the rise, we moved back to a fully invested posture. Accordingly the Fund’s portfolio lagged the run-up in the market. As is often the case the equity markets tended to lead the turn in the economy, with more speculative issues tending to rebound more vigorously than more established companies; thus the outperformance of the NASDAQ over the S&P 500 and our Fund.

In our letter to the Shareholders last year at this time we commented, “If (1) the Federal Reserve continues to increase the money supply at a rate sufficient to support a growing economy, (2) the effective Federal Funds Rate is maintained below that of very short term U.S. Treasury securities, and (3) the Congress and President put in place constructive fiscal stimulus measures, we believe the U.S. economy could achieve a higher rate of growth over the next few years than would otherwise be the case.” During the past twelve months the Federal Reserve has not only kept short term interest rates very low but has also maintained a goodly level of liquidity in our system, and the President and Congress have put in place a major fiscal stimulus package which included very meaningful incentives for the formation of small and medium sized companies. It appears to us there is good potential for a higher rate of economic growth over the coming years than may be generally projected.

With regard to fundamental investment strategy, we have continued to follow the practice of carefully selecting companies in accordance with a stringent set of criteria, acquiring their securities at prices deemed reasonable, and retaining them over a long period. We continue to believe that well managed companies having strong financial underpinnings and generating good earnings growth will deliver good returns to their investors over the longer period.

With reference to the various current mutual fund difficulties, may I mention that our Fund does not allow any trading of the Fund’s shares outside the stated trading time of the close of business in New York on days the New York Stock Exchange is open, and that no person involved in the investment decision-making process of the Fund may trade in any specific investment of the Fund during a period beginning 24 hours prior to the Fund’s transaction in such investment and ending 24 hours subsequent to the transaction.

As always the Board of Trustees and I very much appreciate your confidence. We hope you have an enjoyable holiday season and a healthy, prosperous New Year.

Robert E. Belknap
President and Portfolio Manager


 
     

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
The S&P 500 Stock Index and the NASDAQ Composite Index are unmanaged but commonly used
 
 
 
measures of common stock total return performance. The Lipper Large Cap Growth Fund Index is
 
 
 
 
the composite of the 30 largest "large cap growth" mutual funds, as categorized by Lipper Analytical
 
 
 
Services, Inc. This chart assumes an initial gross investment of $10,000 made on February 15, 2000
 
 
 
(commencement of operations). Returns shown include the reinvestment of dividends and the deduction
 
 
 
of all fees and expenses. Past performance is not predictive of future performance. Investment return
 
 
 
and principal value will fluctuate, so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than
 
 
 
the original cost. Performance information shown above does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a

THE LEGACY FUNDS, INC.
    
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS                 October 31, 2003
 

 
1. ORGANIZATION

The Legacy Funds, Inc. (the “Trust”) was organized as a Delaware Business Trust on July 15, 1999, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company issuing its shares in series, each series representing a distinct portfolio with its own investment objectives and policies. The Legacy Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is the first series. The Fund is a diversified series of the Trust. The principal objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital. The Fund commenced operations on February 15, 2000.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Investment Valuation
The Fund’s securities are valued at their market value. Portfolio securities listed on a securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price of the day or, if there is no such reported sale, securities are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. Other securities for which market quotations are not readily available will be priced at their fair value as determined in good faith by, or under procedures adopted by, the Board of Trustees. Short-term instruments having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
 
(b) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and to make the requisite distributions of net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all Federal income taxes.

(c) Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income, if any, will be declared and paid annually. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will also be declared and paid annually. The character of distributions made during the period from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain items for financial statement and tax purposes. Where appropriate, reclassifications between net asset accounts are made for such differences that are permanent in nature.

(d) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


(e) Other
Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Fund, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. All discounts and premiums are amortized using the effective interest method for tax and financial reporting purposes.

3. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Transactions in shares of the Fund were as follows:

The Fund made no distributions during the years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002.

5. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
 
      The Trust has an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ingalls & Snyder LLC (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and trustees of the Trust are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, compensates the Adviser for its management services at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
     
      The Adviser agreed contractually to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s other expenses, to the extent necessary, to ensure that the Fund’s operating expenses do not exceed 1.70% of its average daily net assets for the Fund’s fiscal year ending October 31, 2003 and has contractually agreed to continue to waive its management fee and/or reimburse the Fund’s other expenses until March 1, 2004. This contractual fee waiver may not be discontinued or modified by the Adviser during the stated period. For the year ended October 31, 2003, the Adviser assumed $177,694 of operating expenses on behalf of the Fund.
 
      U.S. Bank, N.A., a subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, a publicly-held bank holding company, serves as custodian for the Fund. U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, serves as transfer agent, administrator and accounting services agent for the Trust.

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a distribution plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “12b-1 Plan”), which provides that the Fund will pay distribution fees to Ingalls & Snyder LLC (the “Distributor”) at an annual rate of 0.50% of the average daily net assets attributable to its shares. Payments under the distribution plan shall be used to compensate the Fund’s distributor for services provided and expenses incurred in connection with the sales of shares.

The Distributor has agreed to waive its distribution (12b-1) fee. This fee waiver may be terminated by the Distributor at any time. The waiver of the distribution fee did not have any effect on the overall expense ratio for the year ended October 31, 2003 because of the obligation of the Adviser under its Investment Advisory Agreement with the Fund to limit the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses of the Fund on an annualized basis to no more than 1.70% of the Fund’s average net assets. Distribution fees waived under this arrangement were $19,341 for the year ending October 31, 2003.
 
 
     

 
 

Report of Independent Public Accountants
 
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
The Legacy Funds, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of The Legacy Funds, Inc. comprised of the Legacy Growth Fund (the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the two years then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights of the Fund for the periods prior to October 31, 2002 were audited by other auditors who have ceased operations. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial highlights in their report dated November 28, 2001.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian or other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund comprising Legacy Growth Funds, Inc. as of October 31, 2003, the results of its operations for the year ended and changes in its net assets and financial highlights for the two years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
