Letter From the President

June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

Arthur D. Ally

 

 

Dear Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Variable and Conservative Growth Variable Shareholder:

Once again, I am pleased to report that the capital markets have performed reasonably well thus far in 2014 – and, I am also pleased to report, our various underlying funds have participated. As you know, your Timothy Plan Variable Fund investment is a compilation of a number of Timothy Plan’s underlying funds and, as such, your performance is directly related to the performance of those underlying funds. Although we ‘tweak’ the allocation from time to time in an attempt to meet changing market conditions, our allocation as of this date is as follows:

 

         Conservative Growth         Strategic Growth

  

 

Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund

     9.25 %       13.48 %

 

Large/Mid Cap Value Fund

   11.70 %       12.97 %

 

Small Cap Value Fund

     5.29 %         6.27 %

 

Aggressive Growth Fund

     2.25 %         5.76 %

 

International Fund

     5.00 %       15.30 %

 

High Yield Bond Fund

     8.49 %       12.65 %

 

Defensive Strategies Fund

   12.03 %       12.44 %

 

Fixed Income Fund

   28.89 %         0.00 %

 

Israel Common Values Fund

     3.94 %         4.96 %

 

Emerging Markets Fund

     2.94 %         5.95 %

 

Growth & Income Fund

     9.98 %         9.99 %

Our 2014 year-to-date performance through the first six months (5.13% for Conservative and 5.48% for Strategic) has been quite respectable and fairly comparable to their respective market benchmarks – especially when you consider our conservative investment style.

We do expect the remainder of 2014 to continue to be a little unsettled as a result of uncertain economic conditions, but we also believe this year should produce mildly positive investment results. As you know, however, no one can guarantee future results. The one thing I can assure you is that every one of our managers continues to work very hard on your behalf.

As I have stated repeatedly in the past, the Timothy Plan is serious about our mission (to genuinely screen our investments and attempt to deliver competitive investment results) and our commitment to continuously pursue Kingdom Class quality in everything we do. Thank you for being part of the Timothy Plan family.

Sincerely,

Arthur D. Ally

President

Expense Example (Unaudited):

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such as wire fees and low balance fees; and indirect costs, including management fees, and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs” (in dollars), of investing in the Fund, and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period of January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2014.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees or low balance fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these direct costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.12%, which is net of any expenses paid indirectly, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181 days/365 days (to reflect the partial year period). The Fund’s ending account value on the first line in the table is based on its actual total return of 5.13% for the six-month period of January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014.

Conservative and Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series

 

Note 1 | Significant Accounting Policies

The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Portfolio Variable Series (“Conservative Growth Portfolio”) and the Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series (“Strategic Growth Portfolio”) (individually the “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) were organized as diversified series of The Timothy Plan (the “Trust”). The Trust is an open-ended investment company established under the laws of Delaware by an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1993 (the “Trust Agreement”). The Conservative Growth Portfolio’s primary objective is moderate long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income only to the extent that the Timothy Funds in which the Conservative Growth Portfolio invests seek current income. The Strategic Growth Portfolio’s primary investment objective is medium to high levels of long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income only to the extent that the Timothy Funds in which the Strategic Growth Portfolio invests seek current income. The Conservative Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in the following Timothy Funds which are other series of the Trust: Small Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Fixed Income Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, International Fund, Israel Common Values Fund, Defensive Strategies Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and Growth & Income Fund. The Conservative Growth Portfolio also invests in the Fidelity Institutional Money Market Portfolio, an unaffiliated mutual fund. The Strategic Growth Portfolio seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing primarily in the following Timothy Funds which are other series of the Trust: Small Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Aggressive Growth Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, International Fund, Israel Common Values Fund, Defensive Strategies Fund, Emerging Markets Fund and Growth & Income Fund. Each Fund is one of a series of Funds currently authorized by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Timothy Partners, Ltd., (“TPL” or the “Advisor”) is the Investment Advisor for the Funds.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies.

A. 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 (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.

VALUATION OF FUND OF FUNDS

A Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based upon methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.

Open-ended funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Fund will not change.

The Trust utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

 

   

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.

Notes to Financial Statements

June 30, 2014 (Unaudited)

 

Conservative and Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series

 

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 Net Asset Value (“NAV”) provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.

The Board has delegated to the Advisor responsibility for determining the value of Fund portfolio securities under certain circumstances. Under such circumstances, the Advisor will use its best efforts to arrive at the fair value of a security held by each Fund under all reasonably ascertainable facts and circumstances. The Advisor 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 Advisor with respect to the circumstances under which, and the methods to be used, fair value pricing is utilized. Good faith pricing is permitted if, in the Advisor’s opinion, the validity of market quotations appears to be questionable based on factors such as evidence of a thin market in the security based on a small number of quotations, a significant event occurs after the close of a market but before the Funds’ NAV calculation that may affect a security’s value, or the Advisor is aware of any other data that calls into question the reliability of market quotations.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Conservative Growth Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2014:

                                                                                                                                           
Assets    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total

Total

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Strategic Growth Portfolio’s investments as of June 30, 2014:

                                                                                                                                           
Assets    Level 1      Level 2      Level 3      Total

Total  

   $ 33,228,032       $ -         $ -         $ 33,228,032   

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for underlying Fund allocations.

The Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio 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. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers at the end of the year.

B. INVESTMENT INCOME AND SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Cost is determined and gains and losses are based on the identified cost basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

C. NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

Net asset per share of the capital stock of each Fund is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of its net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

It is the policy of each Fund to continue to comply with all requirements under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Each Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income or gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.

As of June 30, 2014, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2010 and are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially within the next twelve months.

E. USE OF ESTIMATES

In preparing financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Conservative and Strategic Growth Portfolio Variable Series

 

F. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or net asset values per share of the Funds. There were no such reclassifications.

G. EXPENSES

Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific Fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual Funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets or an appropriate basis (as determined by the Board).

H. INDEMNIFICATION

The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

Note 3 | Investment Management Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Timothy Partners, Ltd. (“TPL”) is the Investment Advisor for the Funds pursuant to an Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”) that was renewed by the Board on February 22, 2013. TPL supervises the investment of the assets of each Fund’s portfolio in accordance with the objectives, policies and restrictions of the Funds. Under the terms of the Agreement, TPL receives a fee, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of each Fund. Total fees earned by TPL during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were $16,862 and $14,305 for the Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio, respectively. The Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio owed TPL $2,846 and $2,762, respectively, at June 30, 2014. An officer and trustee of the Funds is also an officer of the Advisor.

Gemini Fund Services, LLC (“GFS”) provides administrative, fund accounting, and transfer agency services to the Funds pursuant to agreements with the Trust, for which it receives from each Fund: (i) basis points in decreasing amounts as assets reach certain breakpoints; and (ii) any related out-of-pocket expenses. Fees are billed monthly as follows:

Fund Accounting and Fund Administration Fees:

Fund Complex Base annual fee:

25 basis points (0.25%) on the first $200 million of net assets

15 basis points (0.15%) on the next $200 million of net assets;

8 basis points (0.08%) on the next $600 million of net assets; and

6 basis points (0.06%) on net assets greater than $1 billion.

Transfer agency fees for the Funds are combined with the Fund Accounting and Fund Administration fees under the Trust’s agreement with GFS. Therefore, there is no separate base annual fee per Fund.

An officer of the Trust is also an employee of GFS, and is not paid any fees directly by the Trust for serving in such capacity.

Note 4 | Control Ownership

The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a Fund creates presumption of control of the Fund under Section 2(a) 9 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of June 30, 2014, American United Life Insurance Co. (“AUL”)

held for the benefit of others, in aggregate, approximately 80% of the Conservative Growth Portfolio and approximately 73% of the Strategic Growth Portfolio.

Note 5 | Distributions to Shareholders and Tax Components of Capital

The tax character of distributions paid during 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

 

          Conservative Growth             Strategic Growth                                  
      Portfolio     Portfolio                              

2013

     $ 349,463      $ 166,014                         
  

 

 

                     
     $ 349,463      $ 166,014                         
  

 

 

                     

2012

                        

Ordinary Income

     $ 701,727      $ 265,827                         
  

 

 

                     
     $ 701,727      $ 265,827                         
  

 

 

                     

As of December 31, 2013, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

 

          Conservative Growth                  Strategic Growth                                       
      Portfolio      Portfolio                              

Undistributed Ordinary Income

     $ 692,948           $ 547,663                          

Undistributed Long-Term Capital Gains

     1,626,353           -                            

Capital Loss Carry Forward

     -             (936,034)                         

Post October and Other Losses

     -             -                            

Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)

     2,093,383           2,636,174                          
  

 

 

    

 

 

                     
     $ 4,412,684           $ 2,247,803                          
  

 

 

    

 

 

                     

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales in the amount of $652,853 and $628,698 for the Conservative Growth Portfolio and the Strategic Growth Portfolio, respectively.

Note 6 | Capital Loss Carryforwards

At December 31, 2013, the following capital loss carryforwards are available to offset future capital gains.

 

Funds        Loss Carryforward                 Year Expiring              

Conservative Growth

   $ -          

Strategic Growth

     936,034      2018   

To the extent these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the amount, which is offset, will not be distributed to shareholders.

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, Funds will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.

Note 7 | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent events after the date of the Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has concluded that there is no impact requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Board Annual Approval/Renewals of Advisory and Sub-Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

Timothy Partners, Ltd; Investment Advisor to all Funds.

The continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “IA Agreement”) on behalf of each series of the Trust between the Trust and Timothy Partners, Ltd. (“TPL”) was last approved by the Board of Trustees (“the Board”), including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or any person who is a party to the Agreement, at an in-person meeting held on February 28, 2014. The Trust’s Board considered the factors described below prior to approving the Agreement. The Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, noted the Advisor’s experience in incorporating and implementing the unique, biblically-based management style that is a stated objective as set forth in the Funds’ prospectus.

To further assist the Board in making its determination as to whether the IA Agreement should be renewed, the Board requested and received the following information: a description of TPL’s business and any personnel changes, a description of the compensation received by TPL from the Funds, information relating to the Advisor’s compliance and operational policies and procedures, and a description of any material legal proceedings or securities enforcement proceedings regarding TPL or its personnel (there were none of either). In addition, the Board requested and received financial statements of TPL for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The Board also received a report from TPL relating to the fees charged by TPL, both as an aggregate and in relation to fees charged by other advisors to similar funds. The materials prepared by TPL were provided to the Board in advance of the meeting. The Board considered the fees charged by TPL in light of the services provided to the Funds by TPL, the unique nature of the Funds and their moral screening requirements, which are maintained by TPL, and TPL’s role as a manager of managers. After full and careful consideration, the Board, with the independent trustees separately concurring, agreed that the fees charged by TPL were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds. The Board also discussed the nature, extent and quality of TPL’s services to the Funds. In particular, the Board noted with approval TPL’s commitment to maintaining certain targeted expense ratios for the Funds, its efforts in providing comprehensive and consistent moral screens to the investment managers, its efforts in maintaining appropriate oversight of the investment managers to each Fund, and its efforts to maintain ongoing regulatory compliance for the Funds. The Board also discussed TPL’s current fee structure and whether such structure would allow the Funds to realize economies of scale as they grow. The Board next considered the investment performance of each Fund and the Advisor’s performance in monitoring the investment managers of the underlying funds. The Board generally approved of each Fund’s performance, noting that the Funds invested in a manner that did not rely exclusively on investment performance. Further, the Board noted with approval that the investment managers of each Fund did not succumb to “style drift” in their management of each Fund’s assets, and that each Fund was committed to maintain its investment mandate, even if that meant under performance during periods when that style was out of favor. The Board noted with approval the Advisor’s ongoing efforts to maintain such consistent investment discipline. The Board also noted with approval that the Advisor’s business was devoted exclusively to serving the Funds, and that the Advisor did not realize any ancillary benefits or profits deriving from its relationship with the Funds. The Board further noted with approval the Advisor’s past activities on monitoring the performance of the underlying Funds’ various investment managers and the promptness and efficiency with which problems were brought to the Board’s attention and responsible remedies offered and executed. After careful discussion and consideration, the Board, including the separate concurrence of the independent Trustees, unanimously cast an affirmative vote, and determined that the renewal of the IA Agreement for another one-year period would be in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. In approving the renewal of the IA Agreement for an additional one year period, the Board did not place specific emphasis on any one factor discussed above, but considered all factors in equal light. Further, the Board had available and availed itself of the assistance of legal counsel at all times during its consideration of the IA Agreement renewal.
