COLORADO BONDSHARES - A TAX-EXEMPT FUND

Notes to Schedule of Investments

December 31, 2023 (unaudited)

Defaulted or Non-income Producing Investments

 The Fund discontinues the accrual of interest income on municipal bonds when the securities become delinquent as to payment of principal or interest, or when the Fund's investment adviser determines that an uncertainty exists as to the realization of all or a portion of the principal balance. The face amount of bonds for which the accrual of interest income has been discontinued approximates $64,252,347 and such bonds have a value of $16,860,578 or 0.98% of net assets, as of December 31, 2023. These securities have been identified in the accompanying Schedule of Investments.

 The Fund has entered into forbearance agreements with one district under which it agrees that the issuer may pay a reduced rate of interest in lieu of the contract rate for a period of time. Face amount of the bonds for which the Fund has entered into forbearance agreements total $27,375,000 and have a value of $12,318,750 or 0.71% of net assets, as of December 31, 2023. These securities have been identified in the Schedule of Investments.

Investment Valuation and Risk

 The fair value of securities for which there is no last sales price is determined either by an independent pricing service or management, considering market transactions and dealer quotes of comparable securities as well as proprietary pricing models.

 Securities for which market quotations are not readily available (or management considers otherwise are no longer valid or reliable) are valued at fair value determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. This can occur in the event of, among other things, natural disasters, acts of terrorism, market disruptions, intra-day trading halts, and extreme market volatility. The determination of fair value involves subjective judgments. As a result, using fair value to price a security may result in a price materially different from the prices used by other mutual funds to determine net asset value or the price that may be realized upon the actual sale of the security. Short-term holdings are valued at current market quotations or amortized cost, whichever management believes best approximates fair value.

 Fixed-income securities owned by the Fund are subject to interest-rate risk, credit risk, prepayment risk and market risk. The Fund invests in non-rated securities which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk and risk of loss of income and principal and may be more sensitive to economic conditions than lower yielding, higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund concentrates its investments in Colorado and, therefore, may be impacted by specific events, issuers or factors affecting Colorado. The Fund has more credit risk related to the economic conditions of Colorado than a portfolio with a broader geographical diversification. The Fund concentrates its investments in and the majority of the Fund's shareholders are located within Colorado and, therefore, may be impacted by specific events, issuers or factors affecting Colorado. The Company does not have any significant concentrations within any one shareholder.

 Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that classifies securities based on valuation techniques used to measure fair value and distinguish between observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and the reporting entities own assumptions, which are not readily observable to market participants. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Level 1 Inputs: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 Inputs: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 Inputs: Significant unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including management's own assumptions. Unobservable inputs shall be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

 The following table summarizes the valuation of the Fund's investments as defined by ASC 820 hierarchy levels as of December 31, 2023:

Purchase Accrued Interest

 Purchase accrued interest is typically a component of a municipal bond purchase and is paid on settlement date. The accrual period begins on the last interest payment date (or original issue date) and runs through the day immediately preceding the settlement date. The Fund has purchased three bonds from the Meadows Metropolitan Districts No. 1, 2 and 7 with an aggregate balance of purchase accrued of $90,436,317 (98.1% of the December 31, 2023 balance of $92,156,671). Approximately $243,523,190 of additional interest has accrued on the purchase accrued interest since its purchase in 2007. This additional accrued interest has been fair valued in accordance with ASC 820 at approximately $97,046,120 and is included in other assets net of liabilities in the Schedule of Investments. This amount bears interest at the rate of 7.999% and will be received over an uncertain period of years. The value of the Meadows bonds is contained within three separate line items of the financial statements which all relate to a single set of bonds that cannot be sold separately.

Investment Transactions

 Variable Rate Demand Obligations ("VRDO") purchased by the Fund are floating rate obligations that have a nominal long-term maturity but have a coupon rate that is reset periodically (e.g., daily or weekly). The investor has the option to put the issue back to the trustee or tender agent at any time with specified (e.g., seven days) notice; accordingly, the Fund treats these obligations as short-term holdings. On December 31, 2023 the interest rates paid on these obligations ranged from 3.75% to 3.92%.

Income Tax Information

 At December 31, 2023 the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:

Litigation

The Fund is periodically involved in various legal proceedings. As of December 31, 2023, the Fund has a litigation payable of $160,595 for all pending litigation matters primarily for the purpose of paying lawyer fees. Possible additional amounts cannot be currently estimated but will be set aside as needed. Although there can be no assurances, based on information available, management believes that it is probable that the ultimate outcome of the action described below and other matters that are pending or threatened will not have a material effect on the Fund’s financial condition.

Marin Metropolitan District LTD Tax G.O. Series 2008 Bond

The Fund is the beneficial owner of bonds issued in 2008 (the “Bonds”) by Marin Metropolitan District (the “District”) as described more fully in the Fund’s 2023 shareholder report on Form N-CSR filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 5, 2023. The Bonds were issued in 2008 pursuant to a trust indenture (the “Trust Indenture”) between the District, as issuer and UMB Bank, N.A. (“UMB”), as trustee (the “Trustee”). The original principal amount of Bonds was $30,485,000. The current principal amount of the Bonds is $17,485,000. The valuation of these Bonds as of December 31, 2023, is set forth in the schedule of investments.

On about June 24, 2022, the District filed an Amended Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (the “Complaint”) against the Fund and the Trustee with the District Court, Arapahoe County, Colorado (the “Court”). The Complaint also names Century at Landmark, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Century”) as an “Interested Party” in the Complaint on the grounds that Century is the owner of the real property remaining in the District. In the Complaint, the District has asserted a single claim for relief for declaratory judgment. In essence, based on the rulings in Landmark Towers Association, Inc. v. UMB Bank, N.A. and Colorado BondShares (District Court, Arapahoe County, Colorado Case No. 11CV1076) (the “Landmark Litigation”), the District has requested that the Court declare that the Fund and the Trustee cannot compel the District to impose a tax levy on Century’s parcel of real property within the District and that, further, the Court enjoin the Fund and the Trustee from attempting to compel the District to impose the Required Mill Levy on Century’s parcel of real property within the District. In response, the Fund and the Trustee filed Amended Counterclaims for breach of the District’s resolution authorizing public debt in accordance with, and as required by, the Colorado Constitution (the “Bond Resolution”), declaratory judgment for breach of the Bond Resolution, declaratory judgment that the District has violated Colo. Const. art. XI, section 6 and the Bond Resolution, breach of the Trust Indenture, declaratory judgment that the District has violated the Trust Indenture, promissory estoppel and unjust enrichment (the “Counterclaims”). The Counterclaims seek a judgment in the full amount due and owing on the Bonds with accrued interest along with a declaration that the District is obligated to impose the Required Mill Levy under the terms of the Trust Indenture.

The District filed two motions for summary judgment on the claims in the Complaint and the Counterclaims (“MSJ”). The Fund and UMB opposed the District’s MSJ and filed a cross motion for summary judgment (“Cross MSJ”). The Court denied the District’s MSJ, except it held that the Landmark Litigation was binding on the parties on the issue that the Required Mill Levy approved and imposed by the District was a special assessment and restricted the Fund and UMB from presenting evidence to the contrary at trial. The Court also denied the Cross MSJ.

On October 16 and 17, 2023, the Court held a two-day non-jury trial on all remaining issues presented in the Complaint and the Counterclaims. The Court has not yet issued a decision on the issues and claims. At this point, it is impossible to determine the direction, cost, duration or ultimate outcome of these matters.
