ITEM 1. REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS.

[Kavilco Incorporated Letterhead]

February 25, 2016

Dear Shareholder,

Enclosed are the annual audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. Our accountants, Peterson Sullivan LLP have 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, 2015. 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. 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 L. Jones, Sr.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Kavilco Incorporated
Kasaan, Alaska

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Kavilco Incorporated ("the Company") as of December 31, 2015, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, and statement of changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012.

Management's Responsibilities for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kavilco Incorporated as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Other Matter

The financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2011, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 21, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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. Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on deposit with banks. The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company has cash balances in excess of federally insured limits.

Valuation of Investments

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

Investment Transactions and Income

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are computed using (LIFO (last in, first out) 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.

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 at least 90% of its net investment taxable income to its shareholders. Generally, no federal income tax provision is required for the Company.

The Company records a liability, if any, for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in an income tax return. No liability has been recorded for uncertain tax positions, or related interest or penalties as of December 31, 2015.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders

Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the 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.

Directors' Compensation and Expenses

Each member of the Board of Directors 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

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of these financial statements were available to be issued, which was February 24, 2016.

 

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market based measurement determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. There are three levels which prioritize the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable market inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Observable market inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3: Unobservable inputs where there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

An asset's or liability's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value, including a general description of the asset.

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 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. Real estate is included in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents information about the Company's investments in securities and real estate measured at fair value as of December 31, 2015:

The Company recognizes transfers between Level 1 and 2 at the end of the reporting period. As of December 31, 2015, no significant transfers between Level 1 or 2 occurred.

At December 31, 2015, there were no realized gain (loss), changes in unrealized gain (loss), cost or purchases, proceeds from sales, or transfers in or out of level 3 at the end of the reporting period.

 

Note 4. Real Estate

At December 31, 2015, the Company owns fee title to the surface estate of 22,946 acres of real estate located in southeast Alaska. In 1979, the Company received entitlement under Section 12(a) of ANCSA to the surface estate of real property totaling 23,055 acres. 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, 2015, 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.

The financial statements include real estate valued at $4,207,633 in 2015, the value of which has been determined by an independent appraisal. There was no change in the value in 2015 from 2014.

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 counter-party to perform according to the terms of a contract. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with counter-party 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 counter-party exposure due to the requirements of the individual exchanges.

Note 6. Investment Transactions

Purchases of investment securities (common stock, and publicly traded partnerships) aggregated $2,894,415 for the year ended December 31, 2015, and sales and maturities of investment securities (consisting of corporate bonds and common stock) aggregated $3,899,509 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

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 $2,123,164 and $3,009,014, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Note 7. Premises and Equipment

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors
Kavilco Incorporated
Kasaan, Alaska

In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Kavilco Incorporated (the Company") as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, we considered the Company's internal control over financial reporting, including control activities for safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, 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.

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A deficiency in internal control over financial reporting exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

Our consideration of the Company's internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. However, we noted no deficiencies in Kavilco Incorporated's internal control over such financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be a material weakness as defined above as of December 31, 2015.

This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of Kavilco Incorporated and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

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.
