Managers Commentary May 31, 2008




Dear Fellow Shareholders:


For the fiscal year ending May 31, 2008, the Queens Road Value Fund returned -6.34% and the Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund returned -7.15% (see each fund’s section below for more detailed performance information). We are always disappointed with negative returns, but we know when we invest in equities we must occasionally accept them. We are pleased that both funds outperformed their benchmarks. The risk premium which had been noticeably absent from investors’ decisions over the past several years seems to have found its way back into the market, which we believe has been a significant driver in our relative outperformance over the last twelve months. Although of course past performance does not guarantee future results, we believe our value-oriented investment philosophy should continue to provide attractive risk-adjusted performance over the long term.


Economic news over the last twelve months has been dominated by surging oil prices and an unprecedented decline in the U.S. housing market. The decline in housing prices, brought on by years of lax lending standards and the moral hazards fostered by securitization, has yet to let up. The Federal Reserve’s attempts to intervene through interest rate cuts and innovative moves to provide banks liquidity have proven ineffective, except for promoting inflation as an undesirable side effect. The housing bill currently going through Congress is designed to alleviate some of this pressure. The complexities of the 694-page bill are enormous but the main thrust of it provides $300 billion in FHA mortgage guarantees for many of the most strapped homeowners, a $7500 tax credit to many first-time buyers and an increase in the authority, oversight, access to capital and liquidity for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Our belief is that it is poorly designed and will result in unintended consequences that may ultimately do more harm than good. We hope we are wrong.


Tighter credit and increased fuel costs are taking a toll on consumer spending, which represents about two-thirds of the United States GDP and is a substantial factor in overall corporate profit growth. The recent tax rebates which were designed to spur spending did help, but will probably need to be repeated to produce a significant effect. On a positive note, employment remains relatively low, which will be crucial in keeping economic growth on track.


In spite of the headwinds of a slowing economy, the drop in the stock market has created some very attractive investment opportunities. We are seeing investments available at valuations we have not seen in several years. As we make these investments, overall negative sentiment may push their values down further. If so, we will buy more. Although we are currently paying for some of the poor decisions lenders, home buyers, and policy makers made over the last ten years, the foundation of the economy remains strong and when the market turns it will probably rebound sharply, as it typically does when emerging from bear markets. We look forward to participating in the next bull market.


As always, thank you for your support.


Sincerely,


Steve Scruggs, CFA

Queens Road Value Fund


Managers Commentary May 31, 2008


The Queens Road Value Fund was down -6.43% for the fiscal year ending 5/31/2008.  We beat both our primary benchmark, the S&P500/Citi Value Index, which was down -12.02% and the S&P 500, which was down -6.70%.    


Some of our best performing investments were Apache, Covidien, and McDonalds.  Exceptionally poor performance from AIG, Maxim Integrated Products and Conseco detracted from our overall performance.


The chart below shows the fund’s performance for the fiscal year ended 5/31/2008, along with the returns for the S&P500/Citi Value Index and the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index.  We try to outperform the index through security selection, investing only in those companies we believe are trading at attractive valuations and have the best prospects for long-term performance.

BRAGG CAPITAL TRUST

QUEENS ROAD VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2008



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.  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 Fund’s 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 Trustees.


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.  


Effective October 31, 2007, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No.48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, a clarification of FASB Statement No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  FIN 48 was applied to all open tax years as of the effective date.  The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.


As of and during the period ended May 31, 2008 the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to recognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the statement of operations.  During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.  The Fund is not subject to examination by the U.S. federal tax authorities for the tax years before 2004.


Use of 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

QUEENS ROAD VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2008



accrual basis.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.  


Distributions to shareholders:  Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, 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 their ultimate treatment for federal income taxes purposes. These differences are caused primarily 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 value per share of the Fund.  There were no reclassifications for the year ended May 31, 2008.


Fair Value Measurements: In September 2006, FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  As of May 31, 2008, the Fund does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements reported on the statements of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.


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 0.95% of the Fund’s average daily net asset value. For the year ended May 31, 2008, the Advisor earned $98,259.  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.  The amount due to the Advisor at May 31, 2008 is $8,992.


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 did not receive or waive any brokerage fees on executions of purchases and sales of the Fund’s portfolio investments during the year ended May 31, 2008.

Appreciation

Depreciation

Net Appreciation (Depreciation)

1,352,869

(833,451)

519,418


The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulted from the deferral of Post-October losses, of $154,131.  


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, 2008, Pershing, LLC., for the benefit of its customers, owned 99.03% of 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, including the schedule of investments, of Queens Road Value Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Bragg Capital Trust as of May 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and 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 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, 2008, by correspondence with the Fund’s custodian.  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 Queens Road Value Fund, as of May 31, 2008, 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 their 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.

Expense Example

    

As a shareholder of the Queens Road Value 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 period, December 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008.

    

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.

Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund


Managers Commentary May 31, 2008



For the twelve month period ending 5/31/2008 the total return for the Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund was -7.15%.  This compares with returns of -15.33% for the Russell 2000 Value Index and -10.53% for the Russell 2000 Index.

 

Performance was hurt by the poor performance of Oshkosh Corp, Delta Apparel, USEC and Anchor Bancorp.  The fund’s best performers for the year were energy companies Encore Acquisition, St. Mary Land and Exploration, and Vaalco Energy, and food processor Sadia, S.A.  Over the course of the year we held more cash than we would normally, this also helped our relative performance.


Below is our month-by-month performance comparison with both the Russell 2000 Value Index and the Russell 2000 Index.

BRAGG CAPITAL TRUST

QUEENS ROAD SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2008


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 Fund’s 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 Trustees.


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.


Effective October 31, 2007, the Fund adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No.48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, a clarification of FASB Statement No.109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  FIN 48 establishes financial reporting rules regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return.  FIN 48 was applied to all open tax years as of the effective date.  The adoption of FIN 48 had no impact on the Fund’s net assets or results of operations.


As of and during the period ended May 31, 2008 the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits.  The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to recognized tax benefits as income tax expense on the statement of operations.  During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.  The Fund is not subject to examination by the U.S. federal tax authorities for the tax years before 2004.


Use of 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

QUEENS ROAD SMALL CAP VALUE FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MAY 31, 2008



accrual basis.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.


Distributions to shareholders:  Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, 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 their ultimate treatment for federal income taxes purposes. These differences are caused primarily 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 value per share of the Fund.  There were no reclassifications for the year ended May 31, 2008.


Fair Value Measurements: In September 2006, FASB issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements.” This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosure about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years.  The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements.  As of May 31, 2008, the Fund does not believe that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements reported on the statements of changes in net assets for a fiscal period.


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, 2008, the Advisor earned $143,261.  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.  The amount owed to the advisor at May 31, 2008 is $14,509.


Certain Trustees 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 did not receive or waive any brokerage fees on execution of purchases and sales of the Fund’s investments during the year ended May 31, 2008.

Appreciation

Depreciation

Net Appreciation (Depreciation)

1,860,886

(1,230,113)

630,773


The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) resulted from the deferral of Post-October losses, of $368,085.  


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, 2008, Pershing, LLC., for the benefit of its customers, owned 83.63% 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, including the schedule of investments, of Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), a series of the Bragg Capital Trust as of May 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended and 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 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, 2008, by correspondence with the Fund’s custodian.  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 Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund, as of May 31, 2008, 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 their 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.

Expense Example

 
     

As a shareholder of the Queens Road Small Cap Value 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 period, December 1, 2007 through May 31, 2008.

     

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.
