ITEM 1. REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

[Kavilco Incorporated Letterhead]

February 27, 2009

Dear Shareholders,

Enclosed are the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our accountants, Moss Adams LLP conducted the audit.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITES

This statement reflects everything the corproation owns or is obliged to pay as of December 31, 2008. Assets and liabilities are stated in terms of current market value.

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The majority of Kavilco's portfolio is primarily made up of debt instruments comprised of corporate obligations. Corporate obligation is another term for bonds. These bonds carry a stated interest rate and maturity date. The Federal, State and Municipal governments, along with corporations, can issue bonds. Kavilco has shifted its investments from treasury notes to corporate bonds in order to get a higher yield.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations is an analysis of all income and expense that the corporation incurred during the year. We had a decrease in value of $2,138,179. The decrease was the result of the credit markets seizing up in September 2008. The aggressive actions of the Federal Reserve have had a beneficial impact on our bond portfolio. As of January 31, 2009 our unrealized losses are $1,010,621, an increase in value of $1,127,558 in just one month. We anticipate the exceptional volatility in the bond market will be with us for some time. However, valuation changes in the portfolio do not impact the dividends you receive.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

What happened to our assets during the year? This statement shows all increases and decreases in our assets. Except for the dividends to shareholder accounts, this is identical to the Statement of Operations.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

This is a comparative analysis that combines all previously discussed statements in terms of one share of stock.

NOTES AND TAX INFORMATION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The notes are an integral part of the financial statements and provide information that will give the shareholder a complete summary of the operation.

Sincerely,

KAVILCO INCORPORATED

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

[MOSS ADAMS LETTERHEAD]

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Kavilco Incorporated (An Investment Company)

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilites, including the schedule of investments, of Kavilco Incorporated (the Company) as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the periods then ended, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006. These financial statments and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated February 22, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned by correspondence with the custodian and review of legal title to real estate as of December 31, 2008. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial satements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all materail respects, the financial position of Kavilco Incorporated as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, and changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the periods then ended and financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 3, the financial statements include real estate valued at $3,588,815, whose value has been determined by management in the absence of a readily ascertainable fair value.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2008

Note 1 - ORGANIZATION
Kavilco Incorporated (the Company) is a village corporation within the Sealaska region organized on November 13, 1973, pursuant to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (“ANCSA”) of 1971. Under ANCSA the Native claims to land in Alaska were settled in exchange for part of the state’s land and compensation. Settlement benefits were given to Natives of Alaska villages in the form of ownership shares in village corporations that were organized pursuant to ANCSA. Kavilco Incorporated was organized for the purpose of securing and administering the land and benefits for the Natives of the Kasaan village in Alaska. Contributed capital includes receipts from the U.S. government and the state of Alaska under provisions of ANCSA.

On November 1, 1989, the Company began to operate as a self-managed, closed-end management investment company, as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”). The Company is subject to various restrictions imposed by the Act and the Internal Revenue Code, including restrictions on borrowing, dividend and distribution policies, operations and reporting requirements. The Company’s investment decisions, which focus primarily on fixed income investments, are made by management under the direction of the board of directors.

Note 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for investment companies. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Company in the preparation of these financial statements.

Valuation of Investments - The Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“FAS 157”), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. FAS 157 also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumption about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed on the best information available in the circumstance.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not applied to Level 1 securities. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.

Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Those estimated values do not necessarily represent the amounts that may be ultimately realized due to the occurrence of future circumstances that cannot be reasonably determined. Because of inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the securities existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for securities categorized in Level 3. In certain cases the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset of liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many securities. This condition could cause a security to be reclassified to a lower level within the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in securities consist of corporate obligations and common stock. Common stock traded on a national securities exchange (or reported on the NASDAQ national market) are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation.  Investments in common stock are included in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using recently executed transactions, market price quotations (where observable), bond spread or credit default swap spreads as provided by Interactive Data Corp. Corporate bonds are generally categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Real estate is carried at fair value as determined in good faith by management of the Company and approved by the board of directors. Real estate represents entitlement to the surface estate of real property, for which no readily available market quotation exists. Fair value of real estate is determined by management based on a Certified Forester’s opinion as to the current value and status of the land, along with other factors. Other relevant factors include the lack of commercially viable timber due to previous harvest, amount of capital expenditures required for the future growth of timber, location of the property, recent sales of similar real property in the region and market demand and supply for this type of real property during the valuation process. Based on the inherent uncertainty of valuation, however, the estimated value may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for the real property existed, and the difference could be material (Note 3). This investment is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Investment Transactions and Income - Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are computed using the specific identification method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis as adjusted for the amortization of discounts and premiums using the effective interest method. Premiums and discounts, including original issue discounts, are amortized for both tax and financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded as of the ex-dividend date. Unrealized gains and losses are included in the statement of operations.

Federal Income Taxes - The Company’s policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required for the Company.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on their payable date. Dividends are generally declared and paid twice a year. Capital gain distributions are generally declared and paid annually. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal tax regulations and may differ from those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management Fees - The investment management of the Company’s portfolio is performed by an employee of the Company. In lieu of a management fee, payment for this service is part of the employee’s annual compensation.

Directors’ Compensation and Expenses - The board of directors of the Company receives compensation for each board meeting attended during the year in addition to a per diem allowance. Directors are also reimbursed for such expenses as accommodation, airfare, and car rental related to board meetings. In addition to meeting related expenses, the Company pays for the medical insurance of certain directors.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change relates to the valuation of real estate (Note 3). It is possible the estimated fair value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the differences could be material.

Note 3 - REAL ESTATE
The financial statements include real estate valued at $3,588,815, whose values have been determined by management in the absence of readily ascertainable fair values. The board of directors approved this fair value estimate of the real estate.

At December 31, 2008, the Company owns fee title to the surface estate of 22,946 acres of real estate. In 1979, the Company received entitlement under Section 12(a) of ANCSA to the surface estate of real property totaling 23,055 acres. And in 1987, 194 acres of this property was distributed to the shareholders. The Company received an additional 89.24 acres during 2002 in the process of closing out a timber sale contract.

As of December 31, 2008, there is no commercial viable timber on the real estate and the Company has no outstanding timber agreements. The last harvest and sale of timber from this land was in 2001.

It is possible the estimated fair value for this investment may differ from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.

Note 4 - TRADING RISK
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into financial transactions involving instruments where there is risk of potential loss due to changes in the market (market risk), or failure of the other party to the transaction to perform (credit risk).

Market risk is the potential change in value caused by fluctuations in market prices of an underlying financial instrument. Subsequent market fluctuations may require selling investments at prices that differ from the values reflected on the statement of assets and liabilities. Market risk is directly impacted by the volatility and liquidity in the markets in which financial instruments are traded. The Company’s exposure to market risk may be increased in that a significant portion of its assets may be invested in a relatively small number of investment positions at any one time. Accordingly, appreciation or depreciation in value of investment positions may have a more significant effect on the value of the Company’s portfolio than would be the case in a more diversified or hedged portfolio.

Credit risk is the possibility that a loss may occur due to the failure of a counterparty to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Company’s exposure to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance includes cash deposits that may exceed applicable insurance limits. The Company seeks to control such credit risk by maintaining deposits with only high quality financial institutions and trading exchange traded financial instruments, which generally do not give rise to significant counterparty exposure due to the requirements of the individual exchanges.

Note 5 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s assets recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon a fair value hierarchy in accordance with SFAS No. 157 Fair Value Measurements. See Note 2 for a discussion of the Company’s accounting policies.

ITEM 2. CODE OF ETHICS.

Kavilco adopted a code of ethics on January 29, 1990. The code of ethics was amended on May 9, 2008 and is available on the registrant's website at: www.kavilco.com.

 

ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT.

Kavilco Incorporated is subject to the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (Act). Pursuant to the Act, Kavilco’s stock and dividends may not be sold, pledged, subjected to a lien or judgment execution, assigned in present or future, or otherwise alienated, except pursuant to court decree of separation or child support. However, the stock can be gifted to a relative provided the recipient is a descendant of an Alaska Native.

The Chief Financial Officer has no control over the financial records of the corporation. The Corporate Secretary maintains the accounting records. Monthly, an independent accountant performs various reconciliations and adjusting journal entries on the corporate books and records.

Kavilco does not have an audit committee. The CFO reviews the entire audited financial statements and various CPA correspondence with the board of directors. Two board members have degrees in business. However, pursuant to SEC regulations their experience would not qualify them as financial experts. The only contentious financial issue that Kavilco has had to deal with since becoming an Investment Company involves the evaluation of our land holdings in Alaska. After a two-year battle with our previous auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and pressure by the Security Exchange Commission, the board relented and increased the value of our land holdings. The CFO opposed this action because it served no practical purpose.

The primary purpose of a financial expert serving on the board of directors is to prevent the gross accounting inequities that were driven by greed and outright thievery at such firms as Qwest Communications, Enron and Tyco. There is no incentive on behalf of management to commit fraud since Kavilco’s stock cannot be publicly traded and we do not have compensation incentives. More importantly, the board of directors is not a rubber stamp for management. Many of the shareholders are related to the directors, which acts as an additional incentive to have a high degree of business probity.

Kavilco has never been involved in financial deceit. This superior track record can only be attributable to the excellent oversight of an active and knowledgeable board of directors. Accordingly, Kavilco does not have an audit committee or a financial expert as defined by the SEC.

ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES.

The board of directors adopted the following resolution during the November 2003 board meeting.

Kavilco Incorporated Resolution 11-14-03b: Proxy Voting Policies

The Securities and Exchange Commission believes the recent corporate scandals have created renewed investor interest in corporate governance issues. In response, the SEC has new rules designed to increase transparency of proxy voting by mutual funds.
          RESOLVED, on voting common stock, the Chief Financial Officer is hereby directed to vote the management slate of directors and management’s recommendations on corporate proposals that appear on the proxy.
          RESOLVED, where there is a material conflict of interest where the Chief Financial Officer has a business, personal, or family relationship with a public company, voting will be deferred until the next scheduled board of directors meeting at which time the issue will be discussed.
          RESOLVED, pursuant to rule 30b1-4 under the Investment Company Act, Kavilco will file form N-PX with the SEC detailing a complete voting record. This filing will be made for a 12-month period commencing on June 30, 2004. In addition, this information will be available on Kavilco’s web site as soon as reasonably practicable, after filing the report with the SEC, which means the same day, absent unforeseen circumstances.
