 Note 1 | Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)
At September 30, 2010, the cost for federal income tax purposes is and the composition of gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investment securities is as follows:


Note 2 | Security Valuation and Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.

Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.  Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

·  
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
 
·  
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive  market,  quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
 
·  
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including each Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available)
 

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.

Each Fund purchases Class A Shares of the Timothy Funds at net asset value without any sales charges.  Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
 
The Board has delegated to the Adviser responsibility for determining the value of Fund portfolio securities under certain circumstances. Under such circumstances, the Adviser will use their best efforts to arrive at the fair value of a security held by each Fund under all reasonably ascertainable facts and circumstances. The Adviser must prepare a report for the Board not less than quarterly containing a complete listing of any securities for which fair value pricing was employed and detailing the specific reasons for such fair value pricing.  The Board has adopted written policies and procedures to guide the Adviser with respect to the circumstances under which, and the methods to be used, in fair valuing securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s assets as of September 30, 2010:


The Funds did not hold any assets at any time during the reporting period in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value; therefore, no reconciliation of Level 3 securities is included for this reporting period. The Funds did not hold any derivative instruments during the reporting period.
