(a)

Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Total returns and average annual returns reflect changes in share price, reinvestment of distributions, and are net of expenses. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. When shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data presented. Visit www.gabelli.com for performance information as of the most recent month end. For the SmallCap Equity, Mid-Cap Equity, Income, and Intermediate Bond Funds (and for the Mighty Mites Fund through September 30, 2005), TETON Advisors, Inc.,(“the Adviser”) reimbursed expenses to limit the expense ratio. Had such limitations not been in place, returns would have been lower. The contractual expense limitations are in effect through January 31, 2015 (and for the Mid-Cap Equity Fund through May 31, 2014) and are renewable annually by the Adviser. The Funds, except for the Equity, Balanced, and Intermediate Bond Funds, imposes a 2% redemption fee on shares sold or exchanged within seven days after the date of purchase. Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of a Fund before investing. Performance returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. The prospectus contains information about these and other matters and should be read carefully before investing. To obtain a prospectus, please visit our website at www.gabelli.com.

 
(b)

Includes the effect of the maximum 4.0% sales charge at the beginning of the period.

(c)

Assuming payment of the maximum contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). The maximum CDSC for Class B Shares is 5% and is gradually reduced to 0% after six years.

(d)

Assuming payment of the 1% maximum CDSC imposed on redemptions made within one year of purchase.

(e)

The performance of the Class AAA Shares is used to calculate performance for the periods prior to the issuance of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares. The performance for the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, and Class C Shares would have been lower due to the additional fees and expenses associated with these classes of shares. The performance for the Class I Shares would have been higher due to the lower expenses associated with this class of shares. The inception dates for the Class AAA Shares and the initial issuance dates for the Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares after which shares remained continuously outstanding are listed below.

Performance Discussion (Unaudited)

Mighty Mites Fund

For the year ended September 30, 2013, the TETON Westwood Mighty Mites Fund net asset value (“NAV”) per Class AAA Share appreciated 36.2% versus gains of 30.1% for the Russell 2000 and 32.1% for the Russell Microcap Indices. See page 4 for additional performance information.

The Fund invests in small and micro-cap equity securities that have a market capitalization of $500 million or less at time of purchase. The portfolio management team focuses on bottom up stock selection, seeking bite sized companies with excellent management teams, strong balance sheets, and superior long term fundamentals. As bottom up, fundamental, research driven investors, the team seeks to purchase the inefficiently priced stocks of excellent companies selling at a discount to their private market value (PMV). In many cases, they look for a catalyst that can unlock hidden value within the enterprise. As such, (y)our portfolio is diversified across a broad cross section of companies sharing these valuation characteristics.

Despite 2012’s headwinds of fiscal uncertainty, the U.S. economy proved resilient during the first calendar quarter. In a sign of recovery, the bellwether S&P 500 set an all time high on March 28, 2013, edging past its previous high in October 2007. Equities benefited from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) Chairman Ben Bernanke’s reemphasized commitment to low interest rates and continued bond buying into 2014.

During the quarter ended June 30, the equity markets continued their steady upward climb until mid June, when the Federal Reserve Chairman sent shockwaves through the financial system by implying it would lighten up on “Quantitative Easing,” or QE. For the last several years, the Fed has steadily been pumping liquidity into the economy by buying bonds at the rate of $85 billion per month.

During the third calendar quarter, equity markets rallied strongly after the Fed announced it would not taper its $85 billion bond purchase program citing the dampening effect of higher interest rates on economic growth.

The United States is in the midst of a merger and acquisition cycle fueled by record amounts of cash on corporate balance sheets and continued low interest rates. By virtue of their size, micro-caps are often prime acquisition targets as larger firms seek growth. As examples in the quarter ended September 30, there were six announced deals in the Fund: Steinway Musical Instruments, Inc. was purchased by Paulson & Co. for $40 a share in cash; Rochester Medical Corp. (0.8% of net assets as of September 30, 2013) agreed to be acquired by C.R. Bard Inc. for $20 per share in cash; Official Payments Holdings, Inc. (0.2%) agreed to be acquired by ACI Worldwide, Inc. for $8.35 per share in cash; Flow International Corp. (0.1%) agreed to be acquired by American Industrial Partners for $4.05 in cash; MAKO Surgical Corp. (0.1%) announced it would be acquired by Stryker Corp. for $30 in cash; and The Active Networks, Inc. (0.1%) announced it would be acquired by Vista Equity Partners for $14.50 in cash.

Among the better performing stocks for the fiscal year were Schiff Nutrition International, Inc., a nutritional supplement company which was acquired by Reckitt Benckiser; GenCorp, Inc. (1.8% of net assets as of September 30, 2013), a manufacturer of aerospace and defense products, and Media General Inc. (1.4%), a television broadcaster. Some of our weaker performing stocks during the year were The L.S. Starrett Co. (0.3%), a manufacturer of tools and measuring equipment; FalconStor Software Inc. (0.1%), a provider of data storage solutions; and Cincinnati Bell Inc. (0.1%), a full service provider of data and voice communications services over wireline and wireless networks.

The investment management team remains disciplined in their bottom up, value driven investment process. Despite a rising equity market, the Fund’s portfolio holdings sell at reasonable valuations and the team continues to seek out the inefficiently priced equities of companies with excellent business models and attractive growth prospects.

We appreciate your confidence and trust.

SmallCap Equity Fund (Unaudited)

For the year ended September 30, 2013, the TETON Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund net asset value (“NAV”) per Class AAA Share appreciated 29.4% compared with gains of 30.1% for the Russell 2000 Index. See below for additional performance information.

In the last quarter of 2012, stock prices rallied despite headwinds of anemic economic growth, high joblessness, recession in the eurozone, and worries over U.S. public finances and the fiscal cliff. Strong cumulative equity returns since 2009 in both global (up more than 70%) and domestic indices (up 120%, including dividend reinvestment) have finally reversed massive redemptions from domestic equity mutual funds. Because of this, equity valuations remain at a reasonable discount to average historical price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples.

January 2013 was the first month of net inflows for domestic equities since April 2011 and the largest month of inflows since April 2004. The recovering housing market also provided a supportive backdrop to the equity markets. The strong equity markets corrected during the second quarter of 2013 in reaction to the Federal Reserve Board’s comments regarding the tapering of bond purchases and removal of excess liquidity from the U.S. economy. Equities, however, recovered late in the quarter, decoupling from bonds, as prospects for an improving economy with lower unemployment, driven by housing and consumer spending, offset worries over Fed tightening.

For the quarter ended September 30, monetary easing by the Fed, accompanied by a growing chorus of global central banks, has created favorable liquidity conditions for the equity market. The U.S. economy has shown improvement on many fronts: jobless claims and unemployment have dropped, while housing prices continue to rise with a decline in the inventory of unsold homes. U.S. home prices in July rose by their fastest pace since 2006. The September Federal Open Market Committee surprised equity markets to the upside with the postponement of the widely expected tapering of bond purchases by the Fed. Of course, all of this must be tempered by upcoming debt ceiling discussions by a stalemated U.S. Congress.

Among the better performing stocks for the fiscal year were: AAR Corp. (2.3% of net assets as of September 30, 2013), a provider of products and services to the aviation industry; Hexcel Corp. (1.6%), a manufacturer of aerospace materials; and Goodrich Petroleum Corp. (0.7%), an independent explorer and producer of oil and gas fields. Our weaker performing stocks during the year were PRGX Global Inc. (0.4%), a provider of audit recovery systems; PetroQuest Energy Inc., an independent oil and gas company; and Allied Nevada Gold Corp., a gold and silver producer both of which were sold prior to year end.

We thank you for your continued confidence in the TETON Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund’s process.

Mid-Cap Equity Fund (Unaudited)

For the period from the inception date of May 31, 2013 through September 30, 2013, the TETON Westwood Mid-Cap Equity Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per Class AAA Share appreciated 4.8% compared with 5.1% for the Russell Midcap Index. During the third calendar quarter, the Fund and mid-cap stocks both appreciated 7.7%.

The Fund invests primarily in mid-cap companies that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued by the market and have above average growth potential. The Fund defines mid-cap companies as those whose market capitalization (number of shares multiplied by share price) falls within a range of $1 billion to $20 billion. The portfolio managers seek to identify companies with attractive products or services, financial strength, strong competitive positions, high quality management, and reasonable valuation. As bottom up, fundamental, research driven investors, they seek to invest in attractively valued companies with strong balance sheets, secular growth, experienced management teams, solid earnings prospects, leading market shares, and superior long term fundamentals.

The market seesawed between June and September. It reacted negatively then positively to the Fed’s announcement concerning its bond buying program. At first the Fed indicated tapering that program, then it later postponed that policy in light of concerns about the dampening effects of higher interest rates on economic growth.

Among the better performing stocks from inception through September 30, 2013 were: Incyte Corp Ltd (1.0% of net assets as of September 30, 2013), a biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of drugs for hematologic and oncology indications; MercadoLibre, Inc. (1.9%), a leading internet e-commerce site in Latin America; and Pioneer Natural Resources Co. (1.5%), an independent oil and gas exploration and production company. Some of our weaker performers were: Catamaran Corp. (2.1%), a pharmacy benefits management and healthcare IT solutions provider; Vertex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (1.4%), a biotechnology company focused on novel therapies for cystic fibrosis and hepatitis C; and Urban Outfitters, Inc. (0.8%), a lifestyle specialty retail company.

For the year ended September 30, 2013, the TETON Westwood Income Fund net asset value (“NAV”) per Class AAA Share appreciated 17.0% compared with gains of 19.3% and 18.9% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index and the Lipper Equity Income Fund Average, respectively. See below for additional performance information.

In the Fund’s first fiscal quarter, the ten sectors that make up the S&P 500 were all positive, with the best sectors being energy and industrials, which gained 17% and 15%, respectively. The two least performing sectors were telecommunications and utilities, with the stocks of these sectors gaining 6% and 7%, respectively.

The stock market rose strongly in the second quarter. The economy continued to grow, although slowly; fears of the European sovereign debt financial crisis abated, and the Federal Reserve released the results of its banking “stress test,” giving a passing grade to the majority of tested banks. The S&P 500 gained 12.6% for the best quarterly performance since 1998.

Economic growth faded in the third quarter, pressuring the stock market. As investors absorbed the economic slowdown of the third quarter, only the four less cyclical or economically sensitive sectors of the ten industry sectors in the S&P 500 had a positive return. These were the telecommunication, utility, consumer staples, and healthcare sectors. The worst performing sectors were the financial, technology, and energy sectors, sectors dependent upon a strong economy to achieve earnings. These three sectors each declined by a little over 6%.

Global equity markets rallied into a slowing world economy in the fourth quarter. Two threats continued to loom over the global economy: the lack of a budget, propelling us toward our fiscal cliff in the United States, and the eurozone debt crisis. These two worries exacerbated the pullback in spending and sent the world economy decelerating to its slowest growth since the global recession started four years ago.

Among the better performing stocks for the fiscal year were: International Paper Co. (2.8% of net assets as of September 30, 2013), a global paper and packaging company; Wells Fargo & Co. (3.0%), a bank holding company; and Pfizer Inc. (1.8%), a research based pharmaceutical company. Some of our weaker performing stocks during the year were: Waste Management Inc. (1.0%), a provider of waste management; American International Group Inc. (2.3%), a global insurance company; and Transocean Ltd. (1.1%), an international provider of offshore contract drilling services.

We appreciate your confidence and trust.

Equity Fund (Unaudited)

The Teton Westwood Equity Fund outperformed the benchmark S&P 500 Index over the fiscal year. For the twelve months ended September 30, 2013, the Equity Fund Class AAA shares posted a return of 20.9%, net of expenses, versus the Lipper Large Cap Value Fund Average of 23.3%. The S&P 500 returned 19.3%. Driving outperformance for the twelve months was stock selection in Technology, Producer Durables, Consumer Discretionary, and Energy sectors. Allocation was additive via under weight positions in Utilities and Technology and over weights to Financial Services and Health Care.

Security selection in the Health Care, REIT, and Utilities sectors detracted from relative performance during the twelve month period.

The major detractors (considering both percentage of the portfolio and total return) to fiscal year performance were DaVita Healthcare Partners Inc. (1.8% of net assets as of September 30, 2013), Ventas Inc. (2.0%), EMC Corp., Teva Pharmaceutical, and Vodafone Group.

Top contributors to Fund performance were American International Group Inc. (3.0%), Bank of America Corp. (2.5%), The Boeing Co. (1.2%), Polaris Industries Inc.(2.4%), and General Motors.

Balanced Fund (Unaudited)

For twelve months ended September 30, 2013, the Teton Westwood Balanced Fund Class AAA Shares posted a return of 12.5%, net of expenses, versus the Lipper Mixed Asset Target Allocation Moderate Fund Average of 10.9%. The Fund’s return nicely exceeded a common balanced benchmark comprised of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% of the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index which returned 10.8%.

The Fund is designed to provide exposure to equities while reducing overall risk through investment in short-to-intermediate fixed income securities. The bond portion typically invests in high quality notes with lower interest rate sensitivity (and generally a shorter maturity) than the typical bond index, with the objective of dampening the volatility of equity holdings. This lower interest rate sensitivity greatly benefited the bond portion of the Fund over the twelve months, as did a general overweight to stocks relative to bonds.

Driving outperformance for the equity portion for the twelve months was stock selection in Technology, Producer Durables, Consumer Discretionary, and Energy sectors. Allocation was additive via under weight positions in Utilities and Technology and over weights to Financial Services and Health Care. Security selection in the Health Care and REIT sectors detracted from relative performance during the twelve month period. The major detractors to fiscal year performance were DaVita Healthcare Partners Inc. (1.2% of net assets as of September 30, 2013) and Ventas Inc. (1.2%). Top contributors to Fund performance were American International Group Inc. (1.8%), Bank of America Corp. (1.5%), The Boeing Co. (0.8%), and Polaris Industries Inc. (1.4%).

Top contributing fixed income holdings for the fiscal year (considering both percentage of the Fund and total return) were short term notes in Financial and Industrial sectors: Barclays Bank plc 5.0% due 22-Sep-2016 (1.0%), Bank of America Corp. 5.375% due 15-Jun-2014 (1.6%), Citigroup Inc. 5.5% due 15-Oct-2014 (1.4%), Anadarko Petroleum Corp 5.95% due 15-Sep-2016 (1.4%), and Vornado Realty LP 4.25% due 01-Apr-2015 (0.9%). The five fixed income securities detracting the most were three US Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS): 1.375% due 15-Jan-2020 (1.4%), 2.125% due 15-Jan-2019 (1.3%), and 2.5% due 15-Jul-2016 (1.8%); a corporate note issued by Intel Corp 3.3% due 01-Oct-2021 (1.2%), and a US Agency note issued by Freddie Mac 3.75% due 27-Mar-2019 (2.0%).

Intermediate Bond Fund (Unaudited)

For the year ended September 30, 2013, the TETON Westwood Intermediate Bond Fund net asset value (“NAV”) per Class AAA Share declined 1.9% compared with the Barclays Government/Credit Bond Index which was down 2.0%. See below for additional performance information.

During the fourth calendar quarter of 2012, concerns about the fiscal cliff and the resulting impact on the economy if no agreement were reached, drove sentiment and the broad market lower. Treasury yields finished the year largely unchanged in the final quarter of 2012. Providing some support to the bond market was the Federal Reserve’s decision to increase the amount of quantitative easing in 2013.

Short and intermediate Treasury yields finished the first quarter of 2013 largely unchanged, resulting in slightly positive gains for the quarter. However, an increase in longer term yields produced negative returns for the long maturity portion of the market.

During the second quarter of 2013, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled that the pace of bond purchases by the Federal Reserve could come to an end earlier than many expected, bond investors saw little reason to wait and began to reduce their fixed income holdings. As a result, interest rates rose sharply in May and June, with the yield on the 10 year Treasury moving from 1.6% to 2.6% in just over six weeks. Corporate bonds were negatively impacted as widening credit spreads served as an additional drag on performance.

Overall performance for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was largely flat. Fixed income investors were caught off guard by the Federal Reserve’s decision not to scale back the pace of its monthly Treasury and mortgage purchases.

The five top contributing Fund securities for the fiscal year were all in the strongest sector – Financial Bonds: Barclays Bank plc 5.0% due 22-Sep-2016 (1.1% of net assets as of September 30, 2013), Bank of America Corp 5.375% due 15-Jun-2014 (1.4%), Merrill Lynch & Co Inc. 5.0% due 15-Jan-2015 (1.3%), Citigroup Inc. 5.5% due 15-Oct-2014 (1.2%), and Vornado Realty LP 4.25% due 01-Apr-2015 (1.2%). The five leading detractors during the fiscal year included two Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, a US Agency note, and two corporate notes: US TIPs 2.5% due 15-Jan-2029 (2.1%), and 1.375% due 15-Jan-2020 (1.6%), Freddie Mac 2.375% due 13-Jan-2022, and Occidental Petroleum Corp 2.7% due 15-Feb-2023 both of which were sold prior to year end, and Intel Corp 3.3% due 01-Oct-2021 (1.5%), respectively.

The Overall Morningstar Rating™ is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three, five and ten year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. Data presented reflects past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. Ratings are for Class AAA, A, B, C, or I Shares; other classes may have different performance characteristics. Unrated classes of fund shares are not listed. For each fund with at least a three year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees) that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance, placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of the funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.

TETON Westwood Funds

Disclosure of Fund Expenses (Unaudited)

For the Six Month Period from April 1, 2013 through September 30, 2013

 

 

We believe it is important for you to understand the impact of fees and expenses regarding your investment. All mutual funds have operating expenses. As a shareholder of a fund, you incur ongoing costs, which include costs for portfolio management, administrative services, and shareholder reports (like this one), among others. Operating expenses, which are deducted from a fund’s gross income, directly reduce the investment return of a fund. When a fund’s expenses are expressed as a percentage of its average net assets, this figure is known as the expense ratio. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period.

The Expense Table below illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return: This section provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use this section to help you to estimate the actual expenses that you paid over the period after any fee waivers and expense reimbursements. The “Ending Account Value” shown is derived from the Fund’s actual return during the past six months, and the Expenses Paid During Period” shows the dollar amount that would have been paid by an investor who started with $1,000 in the Fund. You may use this information, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. To do so, 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 given for your Fund under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid during this period.

Hypothetical 5% Return: This section provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio. It assumes a hypothetical annualized return of 5% before expenses during the period shown. In this case – because the hypothetical return used is not the Fund’s actual return – the results do not apply to your investment and you cannot use the hypothetical account value and expense to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. This example is useful in making comparisons of the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of 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, if any, which are described in the Prospectus. If these costs were applied to your account, your costs would be higher. Therefore, the 5% hypothetical return is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The “Annualized Expense Ratio” represents the actual expenses for the last six months and may be different from the expense ratio in the Financial Highlights which is for the year ended September 30, 2013.

The ratios do not include a reduction for custodian fee credits on cash balances maintained with the custodian (“Custodian Fee Credits”). Including such Custodian Fee Credits, the ratios for the years ended September 30, 2009 would have been 1.50% (Class AAA), 1.75% (Class A), 2.25% (Class C), and 1.25% (Class I). For the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010, there were no Custodian Fee Credits.

†††

The ratios do not include a reduction for Custodian Fee Credits. Including such Custodian Fee Credits, the ratios for the years ended September 30, 2009 would have been 2.93% (Class AAA), 3.18% (Class A), 3.68% (Class C), and 2.68% (Class I). For the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012, 2011, and 2010, there were no Custodian Fee Credits.

(a)

Per share data is calculated using the average shares outstanding method.

(b)

Amount represents less than $0.005 per share.

(c)

The Fund incurred interest expense of $1,169 during the year ended September 30, 2009. All of the interest expense for 2009 was paid for by prior years custodian fee credits. This would impact the ratios of operating expenses to the average net assets by 0.02% for all Classes. If interest expense had not been incurred, the ratios of operating expenses to the average net assets would have been 1.48% (Class AAA), 1.73% (Class A), 2.23% (Class C), and 1.23% (Class I). For the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the effect of interest expense was minimal. For the years ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there was no interest expense.

TETON Westwood Funds

Notes to Financial Statements

 

 

1. Organization. The TETON Westwood Funds (the “Trust”) was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on June 12, 1986.

The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified open-end management investment company and currently consists of seven active separate investment portfolios: TETON Westwood Mighty Mites Fund (“Mighty Mites Fund”), TETON Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund (“SmallCap Equity Fund”), TETON Westwood Mid-Cap Equity Fund (“Mid-Cap Equity Fund”), TETON Westwood Income Fund (“Income Fund”), TETON Westwood Equity Fund (“Equity Fund”), TETON Westwood Balanced Fund (“Balanced Fund”), and TETON Westwood Intermediate Bond Fund (“Intermediate Bond Fund”), (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), each with five classes of shares outstanding except for the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Income Fund, and Equity Fund each with four classes outstanding. Each class of shares outstanding bears the same voting, dividend, liquidation, and other rights and conditions, except that the expenses incurred in the distribution and marketing of such shares are different for each class.

The investment objectives of each Fund are as follows:

 

 

Mighty Mites Fund seeks to provide long term capital appreciation by investing primarily in micro-capitalization equity securities.

 

 

SmallCap Equity Fund seeks to provide long term capital appreciation by investing primarily in smaller capitalization equity securities.

 

 

Mid-Cap Equity Fund seeks to provide long term growth of capital and future income by investing primarily in mid-cap equity securities.

 

 

Income Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income as well as long term capital appreciation.

 

 

Equity Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation. The Equity Fund’s secondary goal is to produce current income.

 

 

Balanced Fund seeks to provide capital appreciation and current income resulting in a high total investment return consistent with prudent investment risk and a balanced investment approach.

 

 

Intermediate Bond Fund seeks to maximize total return, while maintaining a level of current income consistent with the maintenance of principal and liquidity.

2. Significant Accounting Policies. The Trust’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), which may require the use of management estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of its financial statements.

Security Valuation. Portfolio securities listed or traded on a nationally recognized securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last quoted sale price or a market’s official closing price as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. If there were no sales that day, the security is valued at the average of the closing bid and asked prices or, if there were no asked prices quoted on that day, then the security is valued at the closing bid price on that day. If no bid or asked prices are quoted on such day, the security is valued at the most recently available price or, if the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) so determines, by such other method as the Board shall determine in good faith to reflect its fair market value. Portfolio securities traded on more than one national securities exchange or market are valued according to the broadest and most representative market, as determined by Teton Advisors, Inc. (the “Adviser”).

Portfolio securities primarily traded on a foreign market are generally valued at the preceding closing values of such securities on the relevant market, but may be fair valued pursuant to procedures established by the Board if market conditions change significantly after the close of the foreign market, but prior to the close of business on the day the securities are being valued. Debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less that are not credit impaired are valued at amortized cost, unless the Board determines such amount does not reflect the securities’ fair value, in which case these securities will be fair valued as determined by the Board. Debt instruments having a maturity greater than sixty days for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the average of the latest bid and asked prices. If there were no asked prices quoted on such day, the security is valued using the closing bid price. U.S. government obligations with maturities greater than sixty days are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations.

Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available are fair valued as determined by the Board. Fair valuation methodologies and procedures may include, but are not limited to: analysis and review of available financial and non-financial information about the company; comparisons with the valuation and changes in valuation of similar securities, including a comparison of foreign securities with the equivalent U.S. dollar value American Depositary Receipt securities at the close of the U.S. exchange; and evaluation of any other information that could be indicative of the value of the security.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

 

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ investments are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

 

   

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical securities;

 

   

Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

 

   

Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including a Fund’s determinations as to the fair value of investments).

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input both individually and in the aggregate that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The summary of the Funds’ investments in securities by inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of September 30, 2013 is as follows:

(a)  Please refer to the Schedule of Investments for the industry classifications of these portfolio holdings.

The Funds had no material transfers among Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 during the year ended September 30, 2013. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers among Levels as of the beginning of the reporting period.

There were no Level 3 investments held at September 30, 2013 or September 30, 2012 for SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Income Fund, Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund.

Additional Information to Evaluate Qualitative Information.

    General. The Funds use recognized industry pricing services – approved by the Board and unaffiliated with the Adviser – to value most of their securities, and use broker quotes rovided by market makers of securities not valued by these and other recognized pricing sources. Several different pricing feeds are received to value domestic equity securities, international equity securities, preferred equity securities, and fixed income securities. The data within these feeds is ultimately sourced from major stock exchanges and trading systems where these securities trade. The prices supplied by external sources are checked by obtaining quotations or actual transaction prices from market participants. If a price obtained from the pricing source is deemed unreliable, prices will be sought from another pricing service or from a broker/dealer that trades that security or similar securities.

    Fair Valuation. Fair valued securities may be common and preferred equities, warrants, options, rights, and fixed income obligations. Where appropriate, Level 3 securities are those for which market quotations are not available, such as securities not traded for several days, or for which current bids are not available, or which are restricted as to transfer. Among the factors to be considered to fair value a security are recent prices of comparable securities that are publicly traded, reliable prices of securities not publicly traded, the use of valuation models, current analyst reports, valuing the income or cash flow of the issuer, or cost if the preceding factors do not apply. A significant change in the unobservable inputs could result in a lower or higher value in such Level 3 securities. The circumstances of Level 3 securities are frequently monitored to determine if fair valuation measures continue to apply.

The Adviser reports quarterly to the Board the results of the application of fair valuation policies and procedures. These include back testing the prices realized in subsequent trades of these fair valued securities to fair values previously recognized.

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Funds may engage in various portfolio investment strategies by investing in a number of derivative financial instruments for the purposes of increasing the income of the Funds or hedging against a specific transaction with respect to either the currency in which the transaction is denominated or another currency. Investing in certain derivative financial instruments, including participation in the options, futures, or swap markets, entails certain execution, liquidity, hedging, tax, and securities, interest, credit, or currency market risks. Losses may arise if the Adviser’s prediction of movements

TETON Westwood Funds

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

 

 

in the direction of the securities, foreign currency, and interest rate markets is inaccurate. Losses may also arise if the counterparty does not perform its duties under a contract, or that, in the event of default, the Fund may be delayed in or prevented from obtaining payments or other contractual remedies owed to it under derivative contracts. The creditworthiness of the counterparties is closely monitored in order to minimize these risks. Participation in derivative transactions involves investment risks, transaction costs, and potential losses to which the Funds would not be subject absent the use of these strategies. The consequences of these risks, transaction costs, and losses may have a negative impact on the Fund’s ability to pay distributions.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities.” ASU 2011-11 requires a fund to disclose both gross information and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The scope of ASU 2011-11 includes derivatives and sale and repurchase agreements. The purpose of ASU 2011-11 is to facilitate comparison of financial statements prepared on the basis of GAAP and on the basis of International Financial Reporting Standards. Management is continually evaluating the implications of ASU 2011-11 and its impact on the financial statements and, at this time, has concluded that ASU 2011-11 is not applicable to the Funds because the Funds do not have investments covered under this guidance.

Securities Sold Short. The Mighty Mites and Mid-Cap Equity Funds may enter into short sale transactions. Short selling involves selling securities that may or may not be owned and, at times, borrowing the same securities for delivery to the purchaser, with an obligation to replace such borrowed securities at a later date. The proceeds received from short sales are recorded as liabilities and the Mighty Mites and Mid-Cap Equity Funds record an unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the value of an open short position on the day of determination. The Mighty Mites and Mid-Cap Equity Funds record a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out. By entering into a short sale, the Mighty Mites and Mid-Cap Equity Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security sold short. Dividends on short sales are recorded as an expense by the Mighty Mites and Mid-Cap Equity Funds on the ex-dividend date and interest expense is recorded on the accrual basis. The broker retains collateral for the value of the open positions, which is adjusted periodically as the value of the position fluctuates. At September 30, 2013, there were no short sales outstanding for the Mighty Mites and Mid-Cap Equity Funds.

Foreign Currency Translations. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currencies, investments, and other assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income, and expenses are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Unrealized gains and losses that result from changes in foreign exchange rates and/or changes in market prices of securities have been included in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and foreign currency translations. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses resulting from changes in exchange rates include foreign currency gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions, foreign currency transactions, and the difference between the amounts of interest and dividends recorded on the books of the Funds and the amounts actually received. The portion of foreign currency gains and losses related to fluctuation in exchange rates between the initial purchase trade date and subsequent sale trade date is included in realized gain/(loss) on investments.

Foreign Securities. The Funds may directly purchase securities of foreign issuers. Investing in securities of foreign issuers involves special risks not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers. The risks include possible revaluation of currencies, the inability to repatriate funds, less complete financial information about companies, and possible future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign issuers and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than securities of comparable U.S. issuers.

Foreign Taxes. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be recoverable. The Funds will accrue such taxes and recoveries as applicable, based upon their current interpretation of tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.

Restricted Securities. Each Fund may invest up to 10% (except for the Mighty Mites Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, and Income Fund which may invest up to 15%) of its net assets in securities for which the markets are restricted. Restricted securities include securities whose disposition is subject to substantial legal or contractual restrictions. The sale of restricted securities often requires more time and results in higher brokerage charges or dealer discounts and other selling expenses than does the sale of securities eligible for trading on national securities exchanges or in the over-the- counter markets. Restricted securities may sell at a price lower than similar securities that are not subject to restrictions on resale. Securities freely saleable among qualified institutional investors under special rules adopted by the SEC may be treated as liquid if they satisfy liquidity standards established by the Board. The continued liquidity of such securities is not as well assured as that of publicly traded securities, and accordingly the Board will monitor their liquidity. For the restricted securities the Mighty Mites Fund held as of September 30, 2013, refer to its Schedule of Investments.

Investments in other Investment Companies. All Funds may invest, from time to time, in shares of other investment companies (or entities that would be considered investment companies but are excluded from the definition pursuant to certain exceptions under the 1940 Act) (the “Acquired Funds”) in accordance with the 1940 Act and related rules. Shareholders in these Funds would bear the pro rata portion of the periodic expenses of the Acquired Funds in addition to the Fund’s expenses. For the year ended September 30, 2013, both the Mighty Mites Fund’s and Intermediate Bond Fund’s pro rata portion of the periodic expenses charged by the Acquired Funds was 1 basis point. For the year ended September 30, 2013, the Equity Fund’s and Balanced Fund’s pro rata portion of the periodic expenses charged by the Acquired Funds was less than one basis point. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, and Income Fund held no investments in other investment companies.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date with realized gain or loss on investments determined by using the identified cost method. Interest income (including amortization of premium and accretion of discount) is recorded on the accrual basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities that are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as a Fund becomes aware of such dividends.

Determination of Net Asset Value and Calculation of Expenses. Certain administrative expenses are common to, and allocated among, various affiliated funds. Such allocations are made on the basis of each fund’s average net assets or other criteria directly affecting the expenses as determined by the Adviser pursuant to procedures established by the Board.

In calculating the NAV per share of each class, investment income, realized and unrealized gains and losses, redemption fees, and expenses other than class specific expenses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the proportion of net assets of each class at the beginning of each day. Distribution expenses are borne solely by the class incurring the expense.

Custodian Fee Credits and Interest Expense. When cash balances are maintained in a Fund’s custody account, the Fund receives credits which are used to offset custodian fees. The gross expenses paid under each custody arrangement are included in custodian fees in the Statements of Operations with the corresponding expense offset, if any, shown as “Custodian fee credits.” When cash balances are overdrawn, a Fund is charged an overdraft fee equal to 90% of the current Treasury Bill rate on outstanding balances. This amount, if any, would be included in the Statements of Operations.

Currently included in the Statements of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2013 are custodian fee credits and interest expenses that were paid for by prior years custodian fee credits as follows:

Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid annually for the Mighty Mites Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, and Equity Fund, and quarterly for the Income Fund and Balanced Fund. The Intermediate Bond Fund declares dividends daily and pays those dividends monthly. Distributions of net realized gain on investments are normally declared and paid at least annually by each Fund. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders are based on income and capital gains as determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from income and capital gains as determined under GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Funds, timing differences, and differing characterizations of distributions made by the Funds. Distributions from net investment income for federal income tax purposes include net realized gains on foreign currency transactions. These book/tax differences are either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent, adjustments are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the period when the differences arise. Permanent differences were primarily due to tax treatment of currency gains and losses, reclassifications of distributions, and adjustments on the sale of a security no longer deemed a passive foreign investment company (Mighty Mites Fund), disallowed offering expenses (Mid-Cap Equity Fund), and reclassifications of paydown loss (Intermediate Bond Fund). These reclassifications have no impact on the NAV of the Funds.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Funds intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). It is the policy of the Funds to comply with the requirements of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of the Funds’ net investment company taxable income and net capital gains. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Other temporary differences are due to distributions payable.

At September 30, 2013, the Funds had net capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes which are available to reduce future required distributions of net capital gains to shareholders. Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds will be permitted to carryforward for an unlimited period capital losses incurred in years beginning after December 22, 2010. In addition, these losses must be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of the rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may have an increased likelihood of expiring unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short term or long term capital losses rather than being considered all short term as under previous law.

At September 30, 2013, the temporary differences between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments was primarily due to deferral of losses from wash sales for tax purposes, mark-to-market adjustments on investments in passive foreign investment companies, adjustments on hybrid sales, and basis adjustments in partnerships.

The Funds are required to evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Income tax and related interest and penalties would be recognized by the Funds as tax expense in the Statement of Operations if the tax positions were deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold. As of September 30, 2013, the Adviser has reviewed all open tax years and concluded that there was no impact to the Funds’ net assets or results of operations. Tax years ended September 30, 2010 through September 30, 2013 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing authorities. On an ongoing basis, the Adviser will monitor the Funds’ tax positions to determine if adjustments to this conclusion are necessary.

3. Investment Advisory Agreements and Other Transactions. The Funds have entered into investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Adviser which provide that the Funds will pay the Adviser a fee, computed daily and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% for the Mighty Mites Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Income Fund, and Equity Fund, 0.75% for the Balanced Fund, and 0.60% for the Intermediate Bond Fund, of the value of a Fund’s average daily net assets. In accordance with the Advisory Agreements, the Adviser provides a continuous investment program for the Funds’ portfolios, oversees the administration of all aspects of the Funds’ business and affairs, and pays the compensation of all Officers and Trustees of the Funds who are affiliated persons of the Adviser.

There was a reduction in the advisory fee paid to the Adviser relating to certain portfolio holdings, i.e., unsupervised assets, of the Funds with respect to which the Adviser transferred dispositive and voting control to the Funds’ Proxy Voting Committee. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Mighty Mites Fund’s Proxy Voting Committee exercised control and discretion over all rights to vote or consent with respect to such securities, and the Adviser reduced its fee with respect to such securities by $149,945.

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive investment advisory fees and/or to reimburse expenses to the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Income Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund in the event annual expenses of such Funds exceed certain prescribed limits. Such fee waiver/reimbursement arrangement continues until at least January 31, 2015, except for the Mid-Cap Equity Fund, which continues until at least May 31, 2014. For the year ended September 30, 2013, the Adviser waived fees or reimbursed expenses in the amounts of $50,965, $45,488, $44,065, and $87,322 for the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Income Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund, respectively. In addition, the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Income Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund are obliged to repay the Adviser for a period of two fiscal years following the fiscal year in which the Adviser reimbursed the Funds only to the extent that the operating expenses of the Funds fall below the applicable expense limitation for Class AAA of 1.50%, 1.50%, 2.00%, and 1.00%, respectively, and

for Class A of 1.75%, 1.75%, 2.25%, and 1.10%, respectively, and for Class B of 1.75% for the Intermediate Bond Fund only, and for Class C of 2.25%, 2.25%, 2.75%, and 1.75%, respectively, and for Class I of 1.25%, 1.25%, 1.75%, and 0.75%, respectively, of average daily net assets, the annual limitation under the Advisory Agreements. As of September 30, 2013, the cumulative unreimbursed amounts which may be recovered by the Adviser within the next two fiscal years are as follows:

The Adviser has a Subadvisory Agreement with Westwood Management Corp. (the “Subadviser”) for the Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund. The Adviser paid the Subadviser out of its advisory fees with respect to these three Funds a fee computed daily and payable monthly, in an amount equal on an annualized basis to the greater of (i) $150,000 per year on an aggregate basis for all applicable Funds or (ii) 35% of the net revenues to the Adviser from the applicable Funds.

The Adviser has a sub-administration agreement with Gabelli Funds, LLC, an affiliate, for each of the Funds. Gabelli Funds, LLC has entered into an agreement with BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. to provide certain administrative services to the Funds.

The Trust pays each Trustee who is not considered an affiliated person an annual retainer of $9,000 plus $2,000 for each Board meeting attended, and they are reimbursed by the Trust for any out of pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings. All Board committee members receive $1,000 per meeting attended, the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives a $3,000 annual fee, and the Lead Trustee receives an annual fee of $2,000. A Trustee may receive a single meeting fee, allocated among the participating funds, for attending certain meetings held on behalf of multiple funds. Trustees who are directors or employees of the Adviser or an affiliated company receive no compensation or expense reimbursement from the Trust.

4. Distribution Plan. The Trust’s Board has adopted a distribution plan (the “Plan”) for each class of shares, except for Class I Shares, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Class AAA, Class A, Class B, and Class C Share Plans, payments are authorized to G.distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”), an affiliate of the Adviser, at annual rates of 0.25%, 0.50% (for the Intermediate Bond Fund’s Class A Shares at an annual rate of 0.35%), 1.00%, and 1.00%, respectively, of the average daily net assets of those classes, the annual limitations under each Plan. Such payments are accrued daily and paid monthly.

The cost of calculating each Fund’s NAV per share is a Fund expense pursuant to the Advisory Agreement. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Mighty Mites Fund, Equity Fund, and Balanced Fund each paid or accrued $45,000 to the Adviser in connection with the cost of computing these Funds’ NAVs. This expense was not charged during the year ended September 30, 2013 for the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Income Fund, and Intermediate Bond Fund.

8. Shares of Beneficial Interest. The Funds, except for the SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, Income Fund, and Equity Fund that no longer offer Class B Shares, offer five classes of shares – Class AAA Shares, Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, and Class I Shares. Class AAA Shares are offered without a sales charge only to investors who acquire them directly from the Distributor, through selected broker/dealers, or the transfer agent. Class I Shares are offered without a sales charge, directly through the Distributor or brokers that have entered in to selling agreements specifically with respect to Class I Shares. Class A Shares are subject to a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.00%. Class B Shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) upon redemption within six years of purchase and automatically convert to Class A Shares approximately eight years after the original purchase. The applicable Class B CDSC is equal to a percentage declining from 5% of the lesser of the NAV per share at the date of the original purchase or at the date of redemption, based on the length of time held. Class C Shares are subject to a 1.00% CDSC for one year after purchase. Class B Shares are available only through exchange of Class B Shares of other funds distributed by the Distributor.

The Mighty Mites Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, and Income Fund impose a redemption fee of 2.00% on all classes of shares that are redeemed or exchanged on or before the seventh day of a purchase. The redemption fee is deducted from the proceeds otherwise payable to the redeeming shareholders and is retained by the respective Fund as an increase in paid-in capital. The redemption fees retained by the Mighty Mites Fund, SmallCap Equity Fund, Mid-Cap Equity Fund, and Income Fund during the year ended September 30, 2013 amounted to $3,305; $489; $0; and $208, respectively, and the year ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $1,852; $810; $0; and $1, respectively.

10. Indemnifications. The Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Funds’ existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

11. Other Matters. On April 24, 2008, Gabelli Funds, LLC, entered into a settlement with the SEC to resolve an inquiry regarding prior frequent trading in shares of the GAMCO Global Growth Fund (the “Global Growth Fund”) by one investor who was banned from the Global Growth Fund in August 2002. Under the terms of the settlement, Gabelli Funds, LLC without admitting or denying the SEC’s findings and allegations, paid $16 million (which included a $5 million civil monetary penalty).

same day, the SEC filed a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Gabelli Funds, LLC, alleging violations of certain federal securities laws arising from the same matter. The officer, who also is an officer of the Global Growth Fund and other funds in the Gabelli/GAMCO complex, including these Funds, denies the allegations and is continuing in his positions with the Adviser and the funds. The settlement by Gabelli Funds, LLC did not have, and the resolution of the action against the officer is not expected to have, a material adverse impact on the Adviser or its ability to fulfill its obligations under the Advisory Agreements.

12. Subsequent Events. Management has evaluated the impact on the Funds of all additional subsequent events occurring through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of

The TETON Westwood Funds:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TETON Westwood Mighty MitesSM Fund, TETON Westwood SmallCap Equity Fund, TETON Westwood Income Fund, TETON Westwood Equity Fund, TETON Westwood Balanced Fund, TETON Westwood Intermediate Bond Fund and TETON Westwood Mid-Cap Equity Fund (hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2013, the results of each of their operations, the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement.

We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

TETON Westwood Funds

Board Consideration and Re-Approval of Investment Advisory  and Subadvisory Agreements

(Unaudited)

 

 

In determining whether to approve the continuance of each of the Agreements, the Board considered the following information:

1) The nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser.

The Board reviewed in detail the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser and the Subadviser under the Agreements and the quality of those services over the past year. The Board noted that these services included managing the investment program of the Funds, including the purchase and sale of portfolio securities, as well as the provision of general corporate services. The Board considered that the Adviser also provided, at its expense, office facilities for use by the Funds and supervisory personnel responsible for supervising the performance of administrative, accounting, and related services including, for each Fund, monitoring to assure compliance with stated investment policies and restrictions under the 1940 Act and related securities regulations. The Board noted that, in addition to managing the investment program for the Funds, the Adviser provided certain non-advisory and compliance services, including services under the Funds’ Rule 38a-1 compliance program.

The Board also considered that the Adviser paid for all compensation of officers and Board Members of the Funds that were affiliated with the Adviser and that the Adviser further provided services to shareholders of the Funds who had invested through various programs offered by third party financial intermediaries. The Board evaluated these factors based on its direct experience with the Adviser and Subadviser and in consultation with Fund Counsel. The Board noted that the Adviser had engaged, at its expense, BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (BNY) to assist it in performing certain of its administrative functions. The Board concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided was reasonable and appropriate in relation to the advisory fee, that the level of services provided by the Adviser, either directly or through BNY, and by the Subadviser, had not diminished over the past year and that the quality of service continued to be high.

The Board reviewed the personnel responsible for providing services to the Funds and concluded, based on their experience and interaction with the Adviser and Subadviser, that (i) the Adviser and Subadviser were able to retain quality personnel, (ii) the Adviser, Subadviser, and their agents exhibited a high level of diligence and attention to detail in carrying out their advisory and administrative responsibilities under the Agreements, (iii) the Adviser and Subadviser were responsive to requests of the Board, (iv) the scope and depth of the Adviser’s and Subadviser’s resources were adequate, and (v) the Adviser and Subadviser had kept the Board apprised of developments relating to each Fund and the industry in general. The Board also focused on the Adviser’s reputation and long standing relationship with the Funds. The Board also believed that the Adviser had devoted substantial resources and made substantial commitments to address new regulatory compliance requirements applicable to the Funds.

2) The performance of the Funds, the Adviser, and the Subadviser.

The Board reviewed the investment performance of each Fund, on an absolute basis, as compared with its Lipper peer group of other SEC registered funds, and against each Fund’s broad based securities market benchmarks as reflected in each Fund’s prospectuses and annual report. The Board also considered rankings and ratings of the Funds issued by Lipper over the short, intermediate, and long term. The Board considered each Fund’s one, three, five, and ten year average annual total return for the periods ended June 30, 2013, but placed greatest emphasis on a Fund’s longer term performance. The peer groups considered by the Board were developed by Lipper and were comprised of funds within the same Lipper peer group category (the “Peer Group”), regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. Each Fund’s performance against the performance Peer Group (the “Performance Peer Group”) was considered by the Board as providing an objective comparative benchmark against which each Fund’s performance could be assessed. In general, the Board considered these comparisons helpful in their assessment as to whether the Adviser was obtaining for the Funds’ shareholders the total return performance that was available in the marketplace, given each Fund’s investment objectives, strategies, limitations, and restrictions. In reviewing the Funds’ performance, the Board noted that the Equity Fund’s performance was above the median for the one year, three year, and ten year periods and below the median for the five year period; the Balanced Fund’s performance was above the median for the one year, three year, and ten year periods and below the median for the five year period; the SmallCap Equity Fund’s performance was below the median for the one year, three year, five year, and ten year periods; the Mighty Mites Fund’s performance was above the median for the one year, five year, and ten year periods and below the median for the three year period; the Income Fund’s performance was below the median for the one year, three year, and five year periods and at the median for the ten year period; and the Intermediate Bond Fund’s performance was below the median for the one year, three year, five year, and ten year periods. The Board also noted that the Income Fund had changed its investment objective in 2005 and therefore only had eight years of Peer Group performance data for comparison purposes. The Board Members concluded that the Funds’ performance was reasonable in comparison with that of the Performance Peer Groups.

In connection with its assessment of the performance of the Adviser and the Subadviser, the Board considered the Adviser’s and Subadviser’s financial condition and whether they had the resources necessary to continue to carry out their responsibilities under the Agreements. The Board concluded that the Adviser and Subadviser had the financial resources necessary to continue to perform their obligations under the Agreements and to continue to provide the high quality services that they have provided to the Funds to date.

3) The cost of the advisory services and the profits to the Adviser and Subadviser and their affiliates from the relationship with the Funds.

In connection with the Board’s consideration of the cost of the advisory and sub-advisory services and the profits to the Adviser, Subadviser, and their affiliates from their relationships with the Fund, the Board considered a number of factors. First, the Board compared the level of the advisory fee for each Fund against comparative Lipper expense peer groups (“Expense Peer Group”). The Board also considered comparative non-management fee expenses and comparative total fund expenses of the Funds and each Expense Peer Group. The Board considered this information as useful in assessing whether the Adviser and Subadviser were providing services at a cost that was competitive with other similar funds. In assessing this information, the Board considered both the comparative contract rates as well as the level of the advisory fees after waivers and/or reimbursements. The Board noted that the SmallCap Equity Fund, the Income Fund, and the Intermediate Bond Fund operated pursuant to a Fee Waiver and Expense Deferral Agreement with the Adviser wherein the Adviser had agreed to waive a portion of its fee or reimburse a Fund for a portion of its expenses necessary to limit the Fund’s total operating expenses to the level set forth in the respective Fund’s prospectus. The Board noted that the advisory fees and expense ratios for the Equity Fund, the Balanced Fund, the SmallCap Equity Fund, the Income Fund, and the Mighty Mites Fund were higher than average when compared with those of their Expense Peer Groups. Finally, the Board noted that although the Intermediate Bond Fund’s net advisory fee was lower than average, its expense ratio was higher than average when compared with its Expense Peer Group. The Board also reviewed the fees charged by the Adviser and Subadviser to provide similar advisory services to other registered investment companies with similar investment objectives and to separate accounts, noting that in some cases the fees charged by the Adviser or Subadviser were higher and, in other cases lower, than the fees charged to the Funds. In evaluating this information, the Board considered the difference in services provided by the Adviser and Subadviser to these other accounts. In particular, the Board considered the differences in risks involved in managing separate accounts and the Funds from a compliance and regulatory perspective.

The Board also considered an analysis prepared by the Adviser of the estimated profitability to the Adviser of its relationship with the Funds and reviewed with the Adviser its cost allocation methodology in connection with its profitability. In this regard, the Board reviewed Proforma Income Statements of the Adviser for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Board considered one analysis for the Adviser as a whole, and a second analysis for the Adviser with respect to each of the Funds. With respect to the Fund analysis, the Board received an analysis based on each Fund’s average net assets during the period as well as a proforma analysis of profitability at higher and lower asset levels. The Board concluded that the profitability of the Funds to the Adviser under either analysis was not excessive.

4) The extent to which economies of scale will be realized as the Funds grow and whether fee levels reflect those economies of scale.

With respect to the Board’s consideration of economies of scale, the Board discussed whether economies of scale would be realized by the Funds at higher asset levels. The Board also reviewed data from the Expense Peer Groups to assess whether the Expense Peer Group funds had advisory fee breakpoints and, if so, at what asset levels. The Board also assessed whether certain of the Adviser’s costs would increase if asset levels rise. The Board concluded that under foreseeable conditions, they were unable to assess at this time whether economies of scale would be realized if the Funds were to experience significant asset growth. In the event there was to be significant asset growth in the Funds, the Board determined to reassess whether the advisory fee appropriately took into account any economies of scale that had been realized as a result of that growth.

5) Other Factors.

In addition to the above factors, the Board also discussed other benefits received by the Adviser and Subadviser from their management of the Funds. The Board considered that the Adviser and Subadviser do use soft dollars in connection with their management of the Funds.

Based on a consideration of all these factors in their totality, the Board Members, including all of the Independent Board Members, determined that each Fund’s advisory fee and, with respect to the Equity Fund, the Balanced Fund, and the Intermediate Bond Fund, the subadvisory fee, was fair and reasonable with respect to the quality of services provided and in light of the other factors described above that the Board deemed relevant. Accordingly, the Board Members determined to approve the continuation of each Fund’s Advisory Agreement and, with respect to the Equity Fund, the Balanced Fund, and the Intermediate Bond Fund, the Subadvisory agreements. The Board based its decision on evaluations of all these factors as a whole and did not consider any one factor as all important or controlling.

Disclose the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures described in paragraph (c)(7) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. The Audit Committee (“Committee”) of the registrant is responsible for pre-approving (i) all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the registrant and (ii) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Adviser, Gabelli Advisers, Inc., and any affiliate of Gabelli Funds, LLC (“Gabelli”) that provides services to the registrant (a “Covered Services Provider”) if the registered public accounting firm’s engagement related directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to the Chairperson of the Committee, and the Chairperson must report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the Chairperson’s pre-approval of such services, his or her decision(s). The Committee may also establish detailed pre-approval policies and procedures for pre-approval of such services in accordance with applicable laws, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to the other persons (other than Gabelli or the registrant’s officers). Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the registrant at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (ii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee or Chairperson prior to the completion of the audit.

The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services rendered to the registrant, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant was $0 in 2012 and $0 in 2013.

 

  (h)

The registrant’s audit committee of the board of directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
