This report has been prepared for the general information of the shareholders. It is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.  The Funds’ prospectus contains more complete information about the objectives, policies, expenses and risks of the Funds.  The Funds are not bank deposits, not FDIC insured and may lose value.  Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.






Dear Fellow Shareholders:

(Unaudited)


After a strong finish to 2004, U.S. equity markets have treaded water for the first half of 2005 with large cap stocks up about 2.5% and small cap stocks down about the same amount.  We are pleased to report the Queens Road Value Fund and the Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund had positive returns for our fiscal year ending May 31, 2005.  Please look below in the commentary section for each fund to see detailed performance information.


 The US economy (as measured by GDP) grew by 4.4% during 2004 and by 3.6% during the first quarter of 2005.  This slow down to a more normal level was not unexpected.  The Federal Reserve in continuing its fight against inflation has raised the Fed Funds rate by 2% since last summer in an effort to control economic growth.  Surprising many, this has resulted not in an upward shift of the yield curve, but in a flattening.  We interpret this to mean that the Fed sees more inflation than market participants.  Only time will tell which outlook is correct.  


What, me worry?

Higher energy and other raw material prices continue to cloud the market causing many to feel they will ultimately lead to a drain on profits.  And of course whether or not a housing bubble exists and if so when will it collapse remains the talk of the day.  These worries coupled with the possibility of another terrorist attack are enough to unnerve all but the most disciplined investors.  Yet with all these worries, we remain optimistic.  We are invested in what we think are the best companies with the best managements in the best industries.  In the short run, things beyond our control may happen which will drive the prices of our investments down, but we remain confident that over the long-term, the companies we are invested in will enhance shareholder value by increasing the economic profits of their business.


On May 30, 2005 the Funds held a special shareholder meeting to vote on an additional independent Trustee.  We took this opportunity to also re-elect the existing Trustees.  I am pleased to announce that Mr. Robert Carter was elected to serve as an independent Trustee and the current Trustee were re-elected to continue their indefinite terms.  Mr. Carter is a Strategic Planning Analyst with Laureate Capital and has worked in the finance industry for over 5 years.  We look forward to Rob’s guidance and advice as he serves on our board of Trustees.   Below is a table showing how votes were cast.

Past Performance does not guarantee future performance. The value of your shares will fluctuate and may

be worth less than their original cost at the time of redemption.


Manager’s Discussion

The Queens Road Value Fund had a good year and was up 10.79% for the twelve months. However, we trailed our primary benchmark, the Barra Large Cap Value Index, which was up 11.88%. Nevertheless, we did manage to outperform the S&P 500, which increased 8.23%.  

Contributing to the positive performance were great returns by aggregates company Florida Rock and the Latin American wireless telephone operator America Movil.   Among our worst performing stocks were insurance broker Marsh & McLennan and computer peripheral maker Lexmark International.

The chart below shows the fund’s performance for the recent fiscal year ended May 31, along with the returns for the Barra Large Value Index and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index. The fund attempts to have lower volatility than the Barra Large Value Index by maintaining a diversified portfolio of undervalued securities. We try to outperform the index through security selection, and invest only in those companies that we believe have the best prospects for long-term performance.


Please note that due to the low level of assets in the fund, the advisor voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee of .95% from inception through 12/31/2004.  The advisor does not intend to waive its management fee in the future. Had the advisor not waived its fee, the returns would have been lower.

BRAGG CAPITAL TRUST

QUEENS ROAD VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


MAY 31, 2005


Note 1. Organization

 The Queens Road Value Fund (the “Fund”), a managed portfolio of the Bragg Capital Trust, is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management company. Prior to November 26, 2003 the Queens Road Value Fund was named the Queens Road Large Cap Value Fund.  The Fund is one of a series of Funds of the Bragg Capital Trust, which also includes the Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund.  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek growth of capital.  It invests primarily in common stocks which are believed by the Advisor to be undervalued and have good prospects for capital appreciation.  The Funds’ registration statement was declared effective on June 13, 2002 and operations began on that date.


Note 2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.


Security Valuation: Securities, which are traded on a national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market, are valued at the last quoted sales price.  If there are no sales reported the Fund’s portfolio securities will be valued using the last reported bid price. Short-term obligations having remaining maturities of 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by and under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors.


Federal Income Taxes: The Fund’s policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.  Therefore no provision for income taxes is required.  The Fund intends to distribute its net long-term capital gains and its net short-term capital gains at least once a year.


Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.


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 statement and income tax purposes.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as information is available to the Fund.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the Fund. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.  Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that permanent financial reporting tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid in capital.


Distributions to shareholders:  Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.


Note 3. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund retains Bragg Financial Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) as its Investment Advisor.  Under the terms of the management agreement, the Advisor provides investment management and administrative services for the Fund. For its services as Advisor, the Fund pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of .95% of the Fund’s average daily net asset value. For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Advisor earned $7,980.  From these fees and its own resources the Advisor agreed to pay other operating expenses of the Fund including transfer agent fees, fund accountant fees, registration fees, custodial fees, and other ordinary expenses of the Fund.  However the agreement does not require the Advisor to pay interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses of the Fund.  For the year ending May 31, 2005, the Advisor voluntarily waived $3,223 of the management fee for the period of June 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004. The amount due to the Advisor at May 31, 2005 is $1,146.



Certain Trustees and officers of the Advisor are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Trust. Each “non-interested” Trustee is entitled to receive an annual fee of $1,000 plus expenses for services relating to the Trust which is paid by the Advisor.  


Queens Road Securities (“QRS”) acts as the principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares.  Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of QRS. QRS also received $234 during the from brokerage fees on executions of purchases and sales of the Fund’s portfolio investments.  In addition to the amounts received, QRS waived commissions of $322.

 

Note 4. Capital Share Transactions

At May 31, 2005, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized and 106,723 shares outstanding, each with no par value, and capital paid-in amounted to $1,284,282 for the Fund.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To The Shareholders and

Board of Trustees

Queens Road Value Fund


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabili­ties, of the Queens Road Value Fund, a series of the Bragg Capital Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of May 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two 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.  The financial highlights for the periods indicated prior to May 31, 2004 were audited by McCurdy & Associates CPA’s, Inc., whose audit practice was acquired by Cohen McCurdy, Ltd.  McCurdy & Associates CPA’s, Inc. expressed unqualified opinions on those highlights.


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 audits 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.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2005 by correspondence with the Fund’s custodian and broker.  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 Queens Road Value Fund as of May 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION


MAY 31, 2005 (UNAUDITED)


Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Queens Road Value Fund, you incur one type of cost: management fees. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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 period, December 1, 2004 through May 31, 2005.

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 Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 these Funds 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.

Past Performance does not guarantee future performance. The value of your shares will fluctuate and may

be worth less than their original cost at the time of redemption.


Manager’s Discussion

(Unaudited)


The Small Cap Value Fund had an outstanding year. Total return for the 12 month period ending 5/31/2005 was 14.38%.  This compares with returns of 15.11% for the Russell 2000 Value Index and 11.82% for the Russell 2000 Index.

 

Contributing to our positive performance were specialty health and life insurer, Universal American Financial, natural gas utility and distributor, UGI and athletic shoe maker K-Swiss.  Among our poorest performing holdings were nutritional supplement marketer, Nutraceutical International, funeral home operator, Stewart Enterprises, and nut seller, J.B. Sanfilippo & Sons.



The chart below shows the fund’s performance for the recent fiscal year ended May 31, along with the returns for the Russell 2000 Value Index and the Russell 2000 Index. The fund attempts to have lower volatility than the Russell 2000 Value Index by maintaining a diversified portfolio of undervalued securities. We try to outperform the index through security selection, and invest only in those companies that we believe have the best prospects for long-term performance.


Please note that due to the low level of assets in the fund, the advisor voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee of 1.35% from inception through 12/31/2004.  The advisor does not intend to waive its management fee in the future. Had the advisor not waived its fee, the returns would have been lower.

QUEENS ROAD SMALL CAP FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


MAY 31, 2005



Note 1. Organization

 The Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), a managed portfolio of the Bragg Capital Trust, (the “Trust”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified, open-end management company. The Fund is one of a series of Funds of the Bragg Capital Trust, which also includes the Queens Road Value Fund.  The Fund’s investment objective is to seek growth of capital.  It invests primarily (under normal market conditions), at least 80% of its total assets in small capitalization (less than $2 billion market cap at the time of purchase) common stocks which are believed by the Advisor to be undervalued and have good prospects for capital appreciation.  The Funds’ registration statement was declared effective on June 13, 2002 and operations began on that date.


Note 2.  Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.


Security Valuation: Securities, which are traded on a national securities exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market, are valued at the last quoted sales price.  Investments for which no sale was reported are valued at the last bid price. Short-term obligations having remaining maturities of 60 days or less, are valued at amortized cost. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by and under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors.


Federal Income Taxes: The Fund’s policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders.  Therefore no provision for income taxes is required.  The Fund intends to distribute its net long-term capital gains and its net short-term capital gains at least once a year.


Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.


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 statement and income tax purposes.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon as information is available to the Fund.  Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the Fund. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.  Accounting principles general accepted in the United States of America require that permanent financial reporting tax differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid in capital.


Distributions to shareholders:  Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund paid a return of capital distribution of $8,037.


Note 3. Investment Advisory Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

The Fund retains Bragg Financial Advisors, Inc. (the “Advisor”) as its Investment Advisor.  Under the terms of the management agreement, the Advisor provides investment management and administrative services for the Fund. For its services as Advisor, the Fund pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly at the annual rate of 1.35% of the Fund’s average daily net asset value. For the year ended May 31, 2005, the Advisor earned $28,653.  From these fees and its own resources the Advisor agreed to pay other operating expenses of the Fund including transfer agent fees, fund accountant fees, registration fees, custodial fees, and other ordinary expenses of the Fund.  However the agreement does not require the Advisor to pay interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses of the Fund.  For the year ending May 31, 2005, the Advisor voluntarily waived $10,109 of the management fee for the period June 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004. The amount owed to the advisor at May 31, 2005 is $4,122.



Certain Directors and officers of the Trust are “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the Trust. Each “non-interested” Trustee is entitled to receive an annual fee of $1,000 plus expenses for services relating to the Trust which is paid by the advisor.


Queens Road Securities (“QRS”) acts as the principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the fund’s shares. Certain officers of the trust are also officers of (“QRS”). QRS also received $343 during the year from brokerage fees on executions of purchases and sales of the Fund’s investments.  In addition to the amounts received, QRS waived commissions of $392.

 

Note 4. Capital Share Transactions

At May 31, 2005, there were an unlimited number of shares authorized and 223,576 shares outstanding, each with no par value, and capital paid-in amounted to $3,318,798 for the Fund.


Note 5. Investments

For the year ended May 31, 2005, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales, other than short-term securities aggregated $3,237,482 and $804,263, respectively.  The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes at May 31, 2005 was $3,423,541.  The difference between book cost and tax cost consists of post-October losses in the amount of $42,081.


Note 6. Distributions to Shareholders

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended May 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:


Distributions paid from:

                                        2005

                                        2004

  Ordinary Income

$15,582

$10,895

  Short-Term Capital Gain

57,234

0

  Long-Term Capital Gain

57,240

0

  Return of Capital

8,037

0

 

$138,093

$10,895


As of May 31, 2005 the components of distributable earnings/ (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:


Undistributed Ordinary income/ (accumulated losses)

0

Undistributed long-term capital gain/ (accumulated losses)

3,203

Unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation)

251,695

 

$254,898


At May 31, 2005, the composition of unrealized appreciation (excess of value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over value) on a taxis basis was as follows:


Appreciation

Depreciation

Net Appreciation (Depreciation)

413,160

(161,465)

251,695


The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and post-October losses.


Note 7. Control

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under section 2 (a) (9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  As of May 31, 2005, the Bragg family owned over 27.48% of the Fund.


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To The Shareholders and

Board of Trustees

Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund


We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabili­ties, of the Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund, a series of the Bragg Capital Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of May 31, 2005, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two 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.  The financial highlights for the periods indicated prior to May 31, 2004 were audited by McCurdy & Associates CPA’s, Inc., whose audit practice was acquired by Cohen McCurdy, Ltd.  McCurdy & Associates CPA’s, Inc. expressed unqualified opinions on those highlights.


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 audits 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.  Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2005 by correspondence with the Fund’s custodian and broker.  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 Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund as of May 31, 2005, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and the changes in its net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

EXPENSE ILLUSTRATION


MAY 31, 2005 (UNAUDITED)

Expense Example

As a shareholder of the Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund, you incur one type of cost: management fees. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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 period, December 1, 2004 through May 31, 2005.

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 Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 these Funds 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.
