Birmiwal Oasis Fund

Annual Report

March 31, 2005



Dear Fellow Shareholders,


        The Fund's performance and the performance of the benchmark S&P 500 Index for the period ending March 31, 2005 were as follows:


                                                            

                                                               

Birmiwal Oasis Fund                  S&P 500 Index


1 Year *              

             9.99%

                     6.69%

(4/1/04 - 3/31/05)

                    

Total Return Since Inception*

         149.56%

       44.13%

(4/1/03 - 3/31/05)

 


        In the first fiscal year of its operation, the Fund outperformed the index by a wide margin. In the second year, the Fund did outperform the index, however with a narrow differential.  Some factors that influenced the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500 Index were a sudden slowdown in some economic sensitive sectors caused by increases in oil prices and geopolitical events.


        On a calendar year basis, we are happy to report that the Fund was one of the top performing funds in the small cap arena in 2004 (Source: Lipper).  And as you may recall, the Fund had one of the most successful launches in 2003 (Source: USA Today).

 

         We believe that the U.S. market, in general, is currently overvalued and the risk of owning equity has increased considerably compared to a few years ago.  Under this scenario, we believe that individual stock picks will be the key for the success of the Fund.  To achieve this goal and to meet the Fund's objective, we keep searching for companies within and outside the U.S. which can produce strong returns for our shareholders.  And at the same time, to reduce the downside risk we may use some other techniques like holding a relatively large percentage of the assets as cash, or partially hedge the equity portfolio.


        We thank you for your continued support and trust in us.


Sincerely,


[birmiwalncsr001.jpg]

Kailash Birmiwal, Ph.D.

The Fund’s Forms N-Q are available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov.  The Fund’s Forms N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC.

Disclosure of Expenses (Unaudited)


Shareholders of this Fund incur ongoing operating expenses including management fees and other Fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to compare these expenses with similar costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested in the Fund on September 30, 2004 and held through March 31, 2005.


The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. In order to estimate the expenses a shareholder paid during the period covered by this report, shareholders can divide their account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period."


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 paid by a shareholder for the period. In order to assist shareholders in comparing the ongoing expenses of  investing in this Fund and other funds, compare the 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in other funds' shareholder reports.


                                                                    

                                                                                                                               

                                                                                                                                  Expenses Paid                              

                                                        
                                                                  Beginning                    Ending                  During the Period*

                                                                                                                  


                                                              Account Value            Account Value         September 30, 2004   

                                              September 30, 2004       March 31, 2005           to March 31, 2005


Actual                                 $1,000.00                 $1,213.40                         $23.51


Hypothetical                        $1,000.00                 $1,003.69                         $21.28

(5% annual return

before expenses)



*    Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 4.26%, multiplied      

      by  the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 

BIRMIWAL OASIS FUND
 

March 31, 2005


1.) ORGANIZATION


Birmiwal Oasis Fund (the "Fund") is a non-diversified series of the Birmiwal Investment Trust (the "Trust"), an open-end investment company.  The Trust was organized in Ohio as a business trust on January 3, 2003  and commenced operations on April 1, 2003. The Fund may offer shares of beneficial interest in a number of separate series, each series representing a distinct fund with its own investment objectives and policies.  At present, there is only one series authorized by the Trust.  Birmiwal Asset Management, Inc. is the adviser to the Fund (the "Adviser").  The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek capital appreciation.  Significant accounting policies of the Fund are presented below:


2.) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


SECURITY VALUATION: Securities that are traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, a security is valued at its last bid price except when, in the Adviser's opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value of the security. All other securities for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at their last bid price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees.


Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market 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 Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees. 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, which the Board of Trustees has determined will represent fair value.


In accordance with the Trust’s good faith pricing guidelines, the Adviser is required to consider all appropriate factors relevant to the value of securities for which it has determined other pricing sources are not available or reliable as described above. No single standard for determining fair value controls, since fair value depends upon the circumstances of each individual case. As a general principle, the current fair value of securities being valued by the Adviser would appear to be the amount which the owner might reasonably expect to receive for them upon their current sale. Methods which are in accord with this principle may, for example, be based on (i) a multiple of earnings; (ii) a discount from market of a similar freely traded security (including a derivative security or a basket of securities traded on other markets, exchanges or among dealers); or (iii) yield to maturity with respect to debt issues, or a combination of these and other methods.


SECURITY TRANSACTION TIMING: Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis.  Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis.  Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.


FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: The Fund’s policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal



2005 Annual Report  9



Notes to the Financial Statements – continued


income tax provision is required. It is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, prior to the end of the calendar year, dividends sufficient to satisfy excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Service.  This Internal Revenue Service requirement may cause an excess of distributions over the book year-end accumulated income.  In addition, it is the Fund's policy to distribute annually, after the end of the fiscal year, any remaining net investment income and net realized capital gains.


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 tax 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, result of operations, or net asset values per share of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005, net investment loss of $261,770 was reclassified to accumulated undistributed net realized short-term gains.  


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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3.) INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT


The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Birmiwal Asset Management, Inc.  (the "Adviser").  Under the terms of the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser manages the investment portfolio of the Fund, subject to policies adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser, at its own expense and without reimbursement from the Trust, furnishes office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and executive personnel necessary for managing the assets of the Fund. The Adviser also pays the salaries and fees of all of its officers and employees that serve as officers and trustees of the Trust. The Adviser pays all operating expenses of the Fund, with the exception of taxes, borrowing expenses (such as (i) interest and (ii) dividend expenses on securities sold short), brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses.


For its services and its agreement to pay the Fund’s operating expenses, the Adviser receives a variable performance-based management fee comprised of a base rate of 2.90% of the Fund's average daily net assets.  The performance adjustment increases or decreases the fee paid by the Fund to the Adviser based on the Fund's performance relative to the S&P 500 Index over the most recent 12-month period.  If the Fund's return for the period is within 2.00% (two percentage points) of the return on the S&P 500 Index, no adjustment is made.  If the difference between the performance of the Fund and the S&P 500 Index exceeds 2.00% (two percentage points), the performance adjustment is made at a rate that varies linearly with the difference between the Fund's performance and that of the S&P 500 Index.  The resulting performance adjustment rate can be as high as 2.40% if the Fund outperforms the S&P 500 Index by 14% (fourteen percentage points) or more, and as low as -2.40% if the Fund underperforms the S&P 500 Index by 14% (fourteen percentage points) or more.


For the year ended March 31, 2005 the Adviser earned management fees totaling $204,032 and performance-based management fees totaling $95,426. At March 31, 2005, the Fund owed the Adviser management fees in the amount of $21,718, which consisted of a base fee of $20,264 and performance-based management fees of $1,454.


4.) APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)


On October 16, 2004 the Board of Trustees for the Birmiwal Oasis Fund approved a new Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) for the Fund, subject to shareholder


2005 Annual Report  10



Notes to the Financial Statements – continued


approval. In determining whether to approve the Agreement, the Board met with Kailash Birmiwal, President of the Adviser, to discuss the terms of the Agreement. The Board reviewed the personal history of the Adviser, including background and investment management experience, as well as the Fund’s performance for the last fiscal year, important factors relating to the Fund’s performance, the Adviser’s investment and research strategy, the Adviser’s financial strength, and expected expenses and revenue from the Fund.


The Board gave careful consideration to factors deemed relevant to the Trust and the Fund. As to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Adviser and the performance of the Fund since commencement of operations, the Board noted that the Fund significantly outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500, in the Fund’s first fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, by providing a return of 126.90% as compared to 34.99%. The Board also reviewed comparative performance from the inception of the Fund thru October 13, 2004, noting that the Fund significantly outperformed its benchmark index. The Board felt that the superior returns provided strong evidence of the superior quality of the advisory services provided by the Adviser.


As to the costs of the services to be provided, the Board reviewed information regarding comparable fee structures and acknowledged that the Fund's base fee rate (which includes paying substantially all operating expenses of the Fund) was significantly higher than the expense ratio paid by other funds. However, the Trustees acknowledged that the Adviser spends substantially more time managing the Fund than any other fund adviser and noted that the Fund's superior performance after deduction of the performance fee more than justified the higher fee rate. The Trustees therefore concluded that the fee structure under the new  Agreement, including performance-based adjustments, was reasonable.


As to the profits to be realized by the Adviser under the new  Agreement the extent to which economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether the fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund investors, the Board noted that the Adviser had made a substantial investment in the Fund and had yet to earn a profit under the terms of the current agreement.  The Trustees acknowledged that the fee under both the current management agreement and the new Agreement does not provide investors with an opportunity to realize the benefits of economies of scale as the Fund grows. However, given the lack of profitability of the arrangement to the Adviser, the Trustees did not think it necessary to consider adding break points at this time. The Trustees also noted that the fee is structured so that investors pay a fee that varies directly with the performance of the Fund, so that investors' will pay a higher fee if the Fund outperforms its benchmark index and a lower fee if the Fund underperforms its benchmark index.  Thus Fund shareholders will receive the benefit of paying a fee that aligns the interests of the adviser and the shareholders. The Trustees emphasized that the fee structure in the new Agreement is consistent with what they intended when they approved the current agreement.

 

The Board felt that the superior returns provided strong evidence of the superior quality of the advisory services provided by the Adviser. The Board also determined that continuity and efficiency of portfolio investment advisory services could best be assured by approving the new  Agreement. The Board believed that the new Agreement would enable the Fund to continue to obtain management services of high quality at costs which it deems appropriate and reasonable and that approval of the new Agreement was in the best interests of the Trust and the shareholders of the Fund.


5.) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS


Kailash Birmiwal, Ph. D. is the control person of the Adviser and also serves as a trustee/officer of the Fund. This individual receives benefits from the Adviser resulting from management  fees paid to the Adviser by the Fund.


The Fund has entered into agreements with Mutual Shareholder Services (“MSS”) for fund accounting and transfer agency services. An officer and shareholder of MSS is also an officer of the Fund. Fees paid to MSS are paid by the Adviser.


The Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund were paid a total of $4,000 in Trustees fees through March 31, 2005.


2005 Annual Report  11

6.) CAPITAL STOCK


The Trust is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. Paid in capital at March 31, 2005 was $7,253,379 representing 275,255 shares outstanding.


7.) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS


For the one year period ended March 31, 2005, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments aggregated $52,076,415 and $53,621,305, respectively.  Purchases and sales of U.S. Government obligations aggregated $0 and $0, respectively.


For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at March 31, 2005 was $7,987,589. At March 31, 2005, the composition of gross unrealized appreciation (the excess of value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over value) for federal income tax purposes was as follows:


Appreciation                           (Depreciation)               Net Appreciation (Depreciation)

  $237,894                                 ($590,552)                                 ($352,658)


8.) CONTROL OWNERSHIP


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 March 31, 2005, Kailash Birmiwal, Ph. D. held, in aggregate, more than 81% of the Birmiwal Oasis Fund.

                                                               Year ended                    Year ended
