SHAREHOLDER LETTER   

DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)



To the Shareholders of NorthQuest Capital Fund, Inc.:

The Fund’s total return for 2016 was 11.18%, which included a $1.58 per share distribution paid to all shareholders of the Fund on December 29, 2016. The table below compares the Fund’s performance with the S&P 500 Index Total Return with dividends reinvested.

Common Stock Securities Sold in 2016

NorthQuest sold entire positions in American Express Company (AXP), International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), Idexx Laboratories Inc. (IDXX), Parker Hannifin Corporation (PH), and PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG). The Fund also trimmed its position in Fiserv, Inc. (FISV) by selling 1,500 shares. The net profits from the sales of IDXX, FISV, PH and PPG and the net losses in the sales of AXP and IBM resulted in long-term capital gains of $313,680.


Common Stock Securities Purchased in 2016

The Fund purchased additional shares of Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH) and Hanesbrand, Inc. (HBI).  NorthQuest added seven new companies to the portfolio. The new positions include Apple, Inc. (AAPL), Home Depot, Inc. (HD), LKQ Corporation (LKQ), MasterCard, Inc. (MA), Middleby Corporation (MIDD), Nike, Inc. (NKE) and Rollins, Inc. (ROL).  See additional information about the companies in our portfolio on pages 2 and 3.


2016 Portfolio Performance

NorthQuest purchased $912,613 and sold $1,013,661 in common stock securities for an annual portfolio turnover rate of 30.61%. That was a high turnover rate for the Fund. Over the past five years the Fund’s annual portfolio turnover rate ranged from 0% to 18.46%. This high amount of investment transactions resulted from sharp declines in stock prices throughout 2016. These declines enabled the Fund to upgrade our portfolio by purchasing companies such as Apple and Nike that were selling at attractive low share prices. These companies were selling at lower share prices due to slowing sales and/or earnings. The Fund believes that Apple and Nike are repositioning their companies and that their current slumps are temporary. Home Depot, LKQ, MasterCard, Middleby, and Rollins were also added to the Fund’s portfolio. These new additions to the portfolio complied with or exceeded many of our performance metrics. Most importantly, they were selling at attractive share prices according to our calculations. Also these companies were consistently growing their sales and earnings over the past five years and were achieving high returns on their retained profits.


The companies that were sold and eliminated from our portfolio in 2016 were good companies but with specific issues. IBM and American Express were having problems staying up with their competition. Parker Hannifin and PPG were in mature businesses which limited future growth. And Idexx was sold because its share price became very

expensive in relation to its earnings or its price to earnings ratio. As we sold these companies the proceeds were invested into the common stock securities mentioned above, which kept cash levels low.


The Fund’s total return of 11.18% fell short compared to the 11.96% for the S&P 500 Index Total Return. The Fund remains committed to meeting or surpassing this benchmark.


Please do not hesitate to call or write me if you have any comments or questions.  Thank you again for your trust, confidence, and investments.


Sincerely,

(“the Fund”) was incorporated on January 3, 2001 in New Jersey and commenced investment operations January 15, 2002.  The Fund is registered as an open-end, non-diversified management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and its shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933.  


The Fund's investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation and to secondarily earn dividend income.


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.


Security Valuation: All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 2.


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 its taxable income to its shareholders. 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. 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 (2013-2015) or expected to be taken in the Fund’s 2016 tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and New Jersey State, however the Fund is not aware of any tax positons for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.


Distributions to Shareholders:  The Fund intends to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net realized capital gains and net investment income, if any, annually.


Other:  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 is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.

DECEMBER 31, 2016  



Cash and Cash Equivalents:  The Fund maintains its cash in an account at a custodian bank, which, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Fund has not experienced any losses in such account and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash deposits.


Reclassifications: In accordance with GAAP, as of December 31, 2016 the Fund recorded a permanent book/tax difference of $17,657 from net investment loss to paid in capital. This reclassification has no impact on the net asset value of the Fund and is designed generally to present undistributed income and realized gains/(losses) on a tax basis, which is considered to be more informative to shareholders.


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 amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of 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.


Subsequent events: Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.


2.  SECURITIES VALUATIONS


Processes and Structure


The Fund’s Board of Directors have adopted guidelines for valuing securities including in circumstances in which market quotes are not readily available and has delegated to the Advisor the responsibility for determining fair value prices, subject to review by the Board of Directors.


Hierarchy of Fair Value Inputs


The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of most of their 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 instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.



15




NORTHQUEST CAPITAL FUND, INC.


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

DECEMBER 31, 2016  




·

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, 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 (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 that are categorized in level 2.


The following table summarizes the inputs used to value the Fund’s assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2016:

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 assets during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Fund did not hold any derivative instruments at any time during the year ended December 31, 2016. There were no significant transfers into or out of Level 1 or Level 2 during the period. It is the Fund's policy to recognize transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 at the end of the reporting period.


3.  INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER RELATED TRANSACTIONS


The Fund has an investment advisory agreement with Emerald Research Corporation (“the Advisor”), whereby the Advisor receives a fee of 1% per year on the net assets of the Fund.  All fees are computed on the average daily closing net assets of the Fund and are payable monthly.  The investment advisory fee paid to the Advisor for the year ended December 31, 2016 was $30,637. The Advisor has contractually agreed to decrease the investment advisory fee or, if necessary, to reimburse the Fund for expenses if and to the extent that the Fund’s aggregate annual operating expenses exceed 1.79% of the Fund’s daily average net assets until August 10, 2017. The Advisor waived $3,366 in advisory fees for the year ended December 31, 2016.  The Fund owed the Advisor $3,215 at December 31, 2016 for advisory fees.


Mr. Peter J. Lencki is President of the Advisor and is also President of the Fund.

7.  CONTROL AND OWNERSHIP

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.


9.  NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT


In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements.  Compliance with the guidance is required for financial statements filed with the SEC on or after August 1, 2017.  Management is currently evaluating the impact the amendments will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION

DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)



  Expense Example


As a shareholder of the NorthQuest Capital Fund, you incur ongoing costs which typically consist of management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.


The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period, July 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.


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.


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.


Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM



To the Shareholders and

Board of Directors of the

NorthQuest Capital Fund, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the NorthQuest Capital Fund, Inc., (the "Fund") including the schedule of investments in securities, as of December 31, 2016 and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period 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.  


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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.  The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and cash owned as of December 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 NorthQuest Capital Fund, Inc. as of December 31, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

DECEMBER 31, 2016 (UNAUDITED)



 BOARD DISCUSSION ON RENEWING FUND’S ADVISORY CONTRACT


 The Board renewed the advisory contract with Emerald Research Corp. (the “ERC”) on August 6, 2016 (effective August 10, 2016 to August 10, 2017) for the following reasons:


Nature and Quality of Services

The Directors reviewed the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by ERC to the Fund. They considered the Investment Adviser’s responsibilities in the researching common stock securities; and dedication to running daily Fund operations; and to adhering to its Code of Ethics and compliance policies. Based on this review, the Directors concluded that they were satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Investment Adviser under the advisory contract.


Investment Performance

The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance. They noted that as of 07/31/2016 the Fund was up 11.18% while the S&P500 Total Return Index was up 7.66%.  The Directors compared the NorthQuest with other funds by investment category, assets under management, and performance according to Morningstar. The Board concluded that the Fund’s overall performance was satisfactory.


Fees

The Directors examined the advisory fee paid to the Investment Advisor according to the advisory agreement. They compared the advisory fee with advisory fees paid by other funds in different investment categories classified by Morningstar. Based on these findings the Board determined that the advisory fees paid under the advisory contract were reasonable when compared to fees charged by other Investment Advisers providing similar services to other Funds.


Profitability and Other Benefits to the Investment Adviser

The Board next reviewed ERC’s financials such as its latest general ledger, balance sheet, and profit and loss information. Based on this examination, the Directors concluded that ERC’s profitability would not prevent the Board from approving the Advisory Agreement.


Economies of Scale

The Board considered information regarding the economies of scale and Fund expenses. The Directors took into account the size of the Fund’s assets and services rendered by the Investment Advisor. The Directors decided that no adjustment to the existing advisory fee was necessary.


Conclusion

On the basis of this examination, the Fund’s Board of Directors, including a majority of independent Directors, approved the renewal of the advisory contract.
