MESSAGE
To Our Shareholders

        This has been a trying twelve months for investors in mutual funds — not from a return perspective, as performance for most mutual funds has been positive — but from the continuing scandals within the mutual fund complexes themselves. While we were, and are still, dismayed by many of the revelations of the abusive practices being undertaken by some in our industry, we are encouraged that regulators have seen fit to require more and better disclosures and to seek to bring indictments against those not acting in their shareholders’ best interests. We feel the mutual fund industry has only been made stronger and more shareholder-friendly as a result of these investigations. 

        Added to this is the continuing rise of institutional and shareholder activism which is beginning to force company managements to operate their businesses in a more long-term shareholder-friendly manner. This combination of awareness, regulatory scrutiny and activism should help protect and better serve mutual fund shareholders in the future, and if anything has made mutual funds a better place to invest than the past.

        We continue to add seasoned portfolio managers and analysts to our team who believe in our underlying approach to identifying companies which will benefit from fundamental long-term trends and the use of analysis of both business models and valuations to identify appropriate investments. We will continue to operate and manage our Funds with a team approach and with a focus on the long-term. 

        As fellow shareholders, we thank you for your confidence and support, and trusting your investments with us.

        Sincerely,

Kent W. Gasaway
President
Buffalo Funds

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Mutual fund investing involves risk; loss of principle is possible. Please see the following Annual Report for the Funds’ holdings information.

Dollar cost averaging does not assure a profit or protect against loss in declining markets; investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW

        The twelve month period ending March 31, 2004 was a rewarding one in general for equity investors, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 35.12%, its first gain after three successive years of negative returns. Our message to shareholders last year was to dollar-cost average and keep focused on the longer-term. As we saw a bottoming in sentiment in late 2002, equity investors who had stayed the course or added exposure were amply rewarded during the year. The market, true to form, had anticipated correctly the improving economic conditions we are experiencing today.

        As we write this, Alan Greenspan has indicated an upward bias to the direction of interest rates. Because we have felt for sometime that interest rates were unsustainably low, we’ve trimmed positions which we felt might suffer in an environment of rising interest rates, and added to sectors that are more defensive in nature and attractively priced. Generally speaking, we’ve been inclined to trim positions in areas such as homebuilding, furniture, autos and certain richly valued technology areas, while at the same time adding weight to healthcare and consumer staples, for example. The upward bias to rates should suggest that the economy is indeed improving, and a pick-up in employment is just beginning.

        While some of the positive returns to our Funds were certainly helped by strength in the broader equity markets, our Funds continued to benefit from our focus on long-term growth and valuation discipline, with all of the Buffalo equity funds beating their respective benchmarks over the past twelve months. Please see the investment results table, which outlines the performance for each of the Funds.

        Buffalo Small Cap Fund  saw strong performance in healthcare, technology, gaming and education in particular, with names such as First Horizon Pharmaceutical Corp., Elan Corp. and SanDisk Corp. doing particularly well and helping the Fund to beat its benchmark. Several holdings were added based upon our long-term trend and fundamental analyses including Oxford Industries, Inc. (which owns the fast growing Tommy Bahama brand), Charles River Laboratories International, Inc. (which provides tools for drug development) and WMS Industries Inc. (a manufacturer of casino gaming devices).

2


        The Buffalo Mid Cap Fund benefited from our sector weightings as well as stock selection, both helping the Fund beat its benchmark. Technology in general, along with stocks such as Atmel Corp., AU Optronics Corp., National Semiconductor Corp., and Invitrogen Corp. helped to lead the Fund’s performance. Examples of stocks added to the portfolio which met our investment criteria include Altera Corp. (programmable logic semiconductors), Millipore Corp. (provider of tools and services for drug development and discovery) and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (a cruise line operator).

        Buffalo Large Cap Fund  also beat its benchmark, greatly benefiting from its technology holdings and stocks such as Scientific-Atlanta, Inc., Carnival Corp. and Diebold, Inc. helping performance. Some of the Fund’s healthcare selections hindered performance including Merck & Co. Inc. and Schering-Plough Corp. Southwest Airlines Co. was also a disappointing holding. Examples of stocks which met our investment criteria and were added to the portfolio include Aventis S.A. (a global pharmaceutical company), Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. (primarily a generic drug manufacturer) and Electronic Arts Inc. (a maker of software based games for computers and other gaming platforms).

        The Buffalo USA Global Fund continues to perform well, beating the S&P 500 Index, the Lipper Global Funds Index and the Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index. The Fund’s performance was driven by its weighting in technology and individual stock selection. The Fund’s stock selections were also helped by the U.S. Dollar’s continued weakness abroad which benefits U.S. companies selling goods and services overseas. Stocks such as Agilent Technologies, Inc., National Semiconductor Corp. and McDonald’s Corp. were particularly strong for the year. The Fund’s performance was held back by some of the healthcare holdings such as Johnson & Johnson and Schering-Plough Corp. However, with an economic recovery underway and the potential for rising interest rates and attractive valuations, we believe the healthcare sector should help the Fund for the coming year. We added global energy sector exposure with stocks such as Kerr-McGee Corp., ChevronTexaco Corp. and Exxon Mobile Corp. With worldwide economic growth accelerating, the Fund should continue to benefit from its relatively unique investment objective of investing only in U.S. companies that generate a substantial component of their revenues from overseas sources.

        As one might imagine, given the strength in the equity markets in general, the Buffalo Science & Technology Fund had a good year, driven in large part by our semiconductor related exposure. Stocks such as Atmel Corp., Lam Research Corp. and SanDisk Corp. performed very well. However, given the steep climb of some of our technology holdings, we began paring back certain semiconductor and other technology names, and adding weight in the science/healthcare sector. While some of the healthcare holdings held back the Fund’s overall performance, we also added stocks such as Elan Corp., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and AU Optronics Corp. (all three discussed previously), which were healthy contributors to the Fund’s positive performance.

        In the Buffalo Balanced Fund, we have kept the mix between bonds and stocks at approximately a 50/50% mix, with most stocks yielding above 2%. With our fixed income holdings, we are primarily focusing on higher yielding issuers and shorter-term convertibles which should help to buffer the Fund from a future rise in interest rates. The Fund outperformed the Lipper Balanced Funds Index for the year ended March 31, 2004, helped by the returns from both bonds and stocks. Because of our concern for the potential for rising interest rates, we have let cash build somewhat as we look for higher bond yields and appropriate equities. 

        The Buffalo High Yield Fund posted another positive year, with a return of over 18%. Due to historically low interest rates and historically low corporate yield spreads, we have let cash build in the Fund as we anticipate a generally higher level of interest rates as the economy strengthens. While the build-up in cash may have held back the Fund’s relative performance slightly, our interest has been in the long-term and positioning the Fund for the future. We patiently wait for appropriate returns to compensate for the risks inherent in investing in high yield bonds.

        Thank you for your continued confidence in the Buffalo Funds.

Performance data quoted represents past performance; past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.buffalofunds.com.

The Fund returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The benchmark returns shown, excluding the Lipper Indices, reflect the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains but do not reflect the deduction of any investment management fees, other expenses or taxes. The performance of the Lipper Indices is presented net of the funds’ fees and expenses, however applicable sales charges are not taken into consideration. One cannot invest directly in an index.

The Lipper Balanced Funds Index is an unmanaged, net asset value weighted index of the 30 largest balanced mutual funds. The Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index is a widely recognized index of the 30 largest mutual funds that invest primarily in high yield bonds. The Lipper Large-Cap Core Funds Index is an unmanaged, equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying mutual funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Large-Cap classification. The Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying funds that invest in a variety of market capitalization ranges. The Lipper Capital Appreciation Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying funds in the investment objective. The Russell Midcap Index measures the performance of the 800 smallest companies in the Russell 1000 Index, which represent approximately 26% of the total market capitalization of the Russell 1000 Index. The index has a total market range of approximately $1.3 billion to $10.8 billion. The Lipper Mid-Cap Core Funds Index is an unmanaged, equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying mutual funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Mid-Cap classification. The Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index is an unmanaged, equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying mutual funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Science and Technology classification. The Russell 2000 Index consists of the smallest 2,000 securities in the Russell 3000 Index, representing approximately 10% of the Russell 3000 total market capitalization. The Lipper Small-Cap Core Funds Index is an unmanaged, equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying mutual funds (based on net assets) in the Lipper Small-Cap classification. The Lipper Global Funds Index is an equally weighted performance index of the 30 largest qualifying funds in the investment objective (to invest at least 25% of its portfolio in securities traded outside of the United States).

A. INVESTMENT VALUATION  — Corporate stocks and bonds traded on a national securities exchange or national market, except those traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), are valued at the latest sales price thereof, or if no sale was reported on that date, the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked price is used. All equity securities that are traded using NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). 

Securities not currently traded or those securities with a price deemed to be unsatisfactory are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Boards of Directors/Trustees. If events occur that will affect the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities before the NAV has been calculated, the security will generally be priced using a fair value procedure. The Board has adopted specific procedures for valuing portfolio securities and delegated the responsibility of fair value determinations to a Valuation Committee. Some of the factors that may be considered by the Valuation Committee in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restriction on the disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or sold. As of March 31, 2004, the Buffalo Balanced Fund and Buffalo High Yield Fund held fair valued securities with market values of $198 and $249, respectively or 0.00% and 0.00% of total net assets, respectively. 

Securities with maturities of 60 days or less when acquired or subsequently within 60 days of maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

B.  FEDERAL INCOME TAXES  — Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.

C. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME  — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on the identified cost basis. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes and are included in interest income.

D. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS  — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for premium amortization on debt securities and deferral of post October and wash sale losses.

E. 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 the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

      We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Buffalo Balanced Fund, Inc., Buffalo High Yield Fund, Inc., Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Inc., Buffalo Funds (comprised of the Buffalo Mid Cap Fund and Buffalo Science & Technology Fund), Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Inc. and Buffalo USA Global Fund, Inc. (the Funds) as of March 31, 2004, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ 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. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of investments owned as of March 31, 2004, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 each of the Funds referred to above at March 31, 2004, and the results of their operations, changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer. The registrant has not made any amendments to its code of ethics during the period covered by this report. The registrant has not granted any waivers from any provisions of the code of ethics during the period covered by this report. A copy of the registrant’s Code of Ethics is filed herewith.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Directors has determined that there is at least one audit committee financial expert serving on its audit committee. Gene M. Betts and Philip J. Kennedy are the “audit committee financial experts” and are considered to be “independent” as each term is defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past two fiscal years. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. The following table details the aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.


FYE 03/31/2004 FYE 03/31/2003

Audit Fees $12,157 $10,821
Audit-Related Fees $429 $0
Tax Fees $1,721 $1,600
All Other Fees $0 $0

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant. All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. 

1


The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years. The audit committee of the Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.


Non-Audit Related Fees FYE 03/31/2004 FYE 03/31/2003
