ITEM 1. REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

[Kavilco Incorporated Letterhead]

February 24, 2012

Dear Shareholder,

Enclosed are the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011. Our accountants, Moss Adams LLP conducted the audit.

The financial statements are presented in a format that all investment companies must adhere to pursuant to Security and Exchange Commission requirements and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In an investment company, the primary objective of the financial statements is to show how the net asset value changed throughout the year (net asset value is defined as the value of securities owned, cash, receivables and other assets less liabilities). We realize the statements are esoteric to say the least. However, to make the financial information more meaningful, we have included a Glossary of Terms to assist you in interpreting the terminology in the financial statement

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITES

This statement reflects everything the corporation owns or is obliged to pay as of December 31, 2011. 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.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations is an analysis of all income and expense that the corporation incurred during the year. We had an increase in value of $232,254. The aggressive actions of the Federal Reserve have had a beneficial impact on our bond portfolio. 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 schedule 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

/s/ Louis A. Thompson

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

[MOSS ADAMS LETTERHEAD]

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

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Kavilco Incorporated (the "Company") as of December 31, 2011, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and statements of changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 2011. These financial statements 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.

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 consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned by correspondence with the custodian and review of legal title to real estate as of December 31, 2011. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kavilco Incorporated as of December 31, 2011, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As discussed in Note 4, the financial statements include real estate valued at $3,794,617 in 2011, whose value has been determined by management in the absence of a readily ascertainable fair value.

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 - All investments are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original or purchased 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 files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and Alaska State. Generally, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal and state income tax authorities for three years from the filing of a tax return.

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. Generally, no federal income tax provision is required for the Company.

The Company adheres to the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 740 Income Taxes, relating to accounting for uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for accounting for uncertain tax positions and also provides guidance on various related matters such as derecognition, interest, penalties and disclosures required. At December 31, 2011, the Company has no uncertain tax positions.

In 2010, the Company reversed an income tax reserve of $416,000 recorded at December 31, 2009 related to an uncertain tax position. The Company had no uncertain tax positions at December 31, 2010.

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.

Subsequent Events - Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the statement of assets and liabilities date but before financial statements are available to be issued. The Company recognizes in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the statement of assets and liabilities, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements. The Company's financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the statement of assets and liabilities but arose after the statement of assets and liabilities date and before financial statements are available to be issued. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through February 21, 2012, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

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 4). 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 - Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment spreads, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Company's own assumptions about the assumption a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the investment. 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. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in level 3.

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 based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

A description of the valuation techniques applied to the Company's major categories of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis follows.

Equity securities (common stock). Securities 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. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Corporate bonds. The fair value of corporate bonds is estimated using various techniques, which may consider recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, fundamental data relating to the issuer, and credit default swap spreads. Corporate bonds are generally categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Publicly traded partnerships. Publicly traded partnerships consist of tax-advantage oil and gas processing and distribution companies. They do not pay state or federal corporate income tax. They are traded on a national securities exchange and are stated at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. To the extent these securities are actively traded and valuation adjustments are not applied, they are categorized in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Real Estate. 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 4). This investment is included in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents information about the Company's assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2011:

The Company recognizes transfers in and out of Level 3 at the end of the reporting period. At December 31, 2011, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3.

Note 4 - Real Estate
The financial statements include real estate valued at $3,794,617 in 2011, whose value has 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, 2011, 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, 2011, 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 5 - 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 6 - Investment Transactions
Purchases of investment securities (consisting of corporate obligations, common stock, and publicly traded partnerships) aggregated $2,742,540 for the year ended December 31, 2011, and sales and maturities of investment securities (consisting of corporate obligations and common stock) aggregated $3,844,205 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The U.S. federal income tax basis of the Company's investments is the same as for financial reporting purposes. The gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation for U.S. federal income tax purposes is $3,006,689 and $22,167, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 7 - Premises and Equipment
Buildings and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 5 to 15 years. Depreciation expense was $3,880 for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Note 9 - Net Assets
Upon organization of the Company, 100 shares of common stock (Class A) were issued to each qualified shareholder enrolled in the Company pursuant to ANCSA. The Company utilized a roll comprising 120 Alaska Natives eligible to receive stock certificates as certified by the U.S. Secretary of the Interior. Under the provisions of ANCSA, stock dividends paid or other stock grants are restricted, and the stock may not be sold, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated, except in certain circumstances by court decree or death, unless approved by a majority of the shareholders. The stock carries voting rights only if the holder hereof is an eligible Alaska Native. Nonvoting common stock (Class B) is issued to non-Native persons who inherit stock or are gifted stock.

The Company’s capital structure is as follows:

Common stock:
Class A, no par value - Authorized, 1,000,000 shares; issued and outstanding, 11,482.83 shares
Class B, no par value - Authorized, 500,000 shares; issued and outstanding, 517.17 shares

Note 10 - Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders
On March 18, 2011, a distribution of $19 per share was declared. The dividend was paid on April 1, 2011 to shareholders of record on March 21, 2011. On November 4, 2011, a distribution of $71 per share was declared. This dividend was paid on November 18, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 7, 2011.

Note 11 - Schedule of Investments
Investments are categorized by type, country and industry. The industry category represents management’s belief as to the most meaningful presentation of the classification of the principal business of the investees. The percentage of net assets is computed by dividing the fair value of each category by net assets.

Note 12 - Pension Plan
Employees of the Company are covered by a defined contribution pension plan. The Company contributes 20% of each participant’s compensation to the plan. The Company’s contributions during the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $55,303.

Note 13 - Other Income and Expense
The Company earned income of $144,720 and $75,960 for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, as a result of ANCSA Section 7(i) which requires regional corporations to distribute 70% of any net revenues derived from timber resources and the subsurface estate to other regional corporations who then redistribute under Section 7(j) 50% of such amounts to the village corporations and at-large shareholders.

During September 2011 the Company received $184,652 as part of a grant from the US Department of Agriculture to implement a conservation plan for timber stand improvement of Kavilco land for future timber harvest and enhanced wildlife habitat. The plan resulted in treatment of 312 acres of Kavilco land at a cost of $171,310, which was paid to an independent third party by Kavilco. At December 31, 2011, the Company recorded a liability of $13,342 for possible amounts due under the grant agreement.

Other income also includes $23,507 and $29,055 of lease and miscellaneous income for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


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.
