Dividend Declaration On November 8 2018, the board of directors declared a cash dividend of $70.00 per share. This includes $4.61 per share of long term capital gain. This dividend was paid to shareholders of record as of November 13, 2018. The board of directors and management are constantly monitoring the financial arena to better our returns. The dividend was payable on November 21, 2018. As of November 21, 2018, Kavilco has made over fifty five million dollars in payments to shareholders;$55,323,378 dollars to be exact. We have distributed more than the entire net worth of Kavilco. In 1990, shareholders elected to have Kavilco become a registered investment company which is exempt from federal income tax. This means that Kavilco Incorporated has saved shareholders $15,777,948 in corporate taxes. These tax savings are passed on to the shareholder resulting in higher dividends. Since 1990, a person who owns 100 shares is $197,931 dollars richer because Kavilco is an investment company that is exempt from federal income tax. Sincerely,

announcement of the dividends (page 1) and the election results (page 4) the floor opened up to Shareholders for questions. There were questions raised about bathroom facilities for the Whale House in Kasaan, indicating that they are needed. Mary Jones noted for those in attendance that the Willard Jones had started a Jones family tree before his passing. President Louis Jones, Sr. updated shareholders on the operations in Kasaan and read the following poem: “If we knew each other Better”, by Annette Den-sted If we knew each other better, We would quit our cold complaining We would praise where now we blame. And a hand of trust extend; We would know each bears his burden If we knew each other better, Wears some hidden cross of shame, We would count each one a friend.
We would feel the heartaches bitter We can know each other better They so long alone have borne If we take the time to try, If we knew each other better Little deeds of loving kindness We would praise instead of scorn. Make a better by-and-by;
If we knew each other better, Just a look of understanding You and I and all the rest, Brings a touch with all mankind; Seeing down beneath the surface We can know each other better- To the sorrows all unguessed, Yes,- seeking, we shall find.

Chief Financial Officer’s Report
At the annual meeting Chief Financial Officer Mr. Burns stated that the reinvestment risk still plagues Kavilco’s investment income (dividend and interest income.) That is, bonds that were purchased over seven years ago had substantially higher interest rates than those that are available in today’s bond market. The only alternative is to purchase dividend yielding stocks. Unfortunately, maturing bond yields were substantially higher than stock dividend yields. Over next year in a half $1,716,582 bonds will mature with yields ranging from 4.16% to 5.3%. Once again, it will be very difficult to overcome the loss of interest income. To try to make up for this loss in income, the board is working on a number of strategies involving capital gains from the sale of stocks. This may be an insurmountable task given the decline in major stock indexes so far this year and a global economic slowdown that has will eventually have a negative impact on America’s economy.
Scott Burns, CFO

Election Results Louis L. Jones, Sr., Kenneth Gordon, and Frederick O. Olsen, Jr. were all re-elected to the Kavilco Board of Directors and the selection of Peterson Sullivan LLP, as put forward by the Board, was also ratified. A total of 60.54% of the vote was returned this year by shareholders which was an increase of only 4% from last year. Anything under 50% will require that Kavilco hold a second Annual Meeting and may result in a lower dividend distribution to shareholders. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU VOTE EVERY YEAR!
