**Fund Performance**

Our Fund's NAV rose 1.1% in 2022, versus the benchmark Russell 2000 which fell 20.5%. While we feel our stock selection was acceptable, we were also assisted by our large cash position which helped cushion the downside and now earns 4.1%. The portfolio remains conservatively positioned and we have cash to take advantage of any market dislocation. We continue to search for undervalued equities with strong fundamentals and reasonable valuations that provide a margin of safety to help limit the possibility of capital loss.

Overall the markets had a dismal first half followed by a slightly better second half. Macro factors such as inflation expectations, rising interest rates, recession fears, DC gridlock, slowing corporate profits and a Fed pivot to a more restrictive monetary policy all took a toll. At this point, higher for longer seems to be the Fed's posture towards interest rates. But unemployment remains low, wages are rising and recent inflation reports have been modestly positive. Economic forecasts are all over the map so stay tuned.

**Contributors to and Detractors from Performance**

As you can see from the following page, there were several contributors to performance, most of which were tied to robust energy prices. Seacor Marine, a Houston based operator of offshore supply vessels benefitted from higher offshore drilling rig activity worldwide. Powell Industries, also based in Houston, provides the electrical equipment needed to build out the petrochemical infrastructure now occurring along the Gulf of Mexico coast. Gulf Island Fabrication made an accretive acquisition, is finishing up marginal contracts and won a large fabrication contract for an offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility. Finally, Dorian LPG continues to take advantage of robust demand for liquid petroleum gas (LPG) worldwide for heating and transportation delivered by its super tankers.

Detractors from performance include Williams Industrial Services which lost some major awards and continues to deal with cost overages on several major contracts. Management is reducing costs aggressively but they must figure out a way to grow revenues profitably. Another detractor was Culp Inc., a supplier of fabric to the furniture and bedding/mattress industries. Culp suffered from supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, a challenging labor market and significant manufacturing/sourcing in China where US- Sino relations are growing frostier. Finally, Bristow Group, which operates a worldwide fleet of helicopters, is having trouble transitioning from servicing offshore oil and gas rigs to a more diversified customer base including government and military search and rescue missions.

**Outlook & Portfolio Positioning**

The market remains volatile and has traded lower as it attempts to ascertain future interest rates and corporate earnings. For the moment the Fed has adopted a hawkish tone on interest rates as an important means of fighting inflation. How high interest rates may go to slow the economy remains to be seen but the Fed appears adamant about getting inflation under control. Regards corporate earnings, some firms are already scaling back expectations and we may see more as the quarters unfold. Consumer demand appears to be slowing as paychecks buy less these days and stimulus money is receding. Many businesses are having trouble passing through higher material and labor costs which reduces margins. Many firms leveraged up during the good times and have too much debt and could become distressed if interest rates rise further. Geopolitical tensions continue to simmer with almost daily headlines concerning Russia, China, Iran or North Korea.

So, we'll stay conservative, let valuations be our guide and try to keep risk to a minimum. We'll continue to take profits on fully valued positions and try to keep gains long term to minimize taxes. Given current valuations, we feel there is no room for error in today's market.

By now you should have received your yearend statement. Should you have any questions about your account or the Fund, don't hesitate to call or write. We are positioned to invest our cash as opportunities become available and are searching diligently for such opportunities. Your portfolio manager remains a major Fund shareholder and buys shares opportunistically.

10 PINNACLE VALUE FUND

BERTOLET CAPITAL TRUST

 **1.)**

**ORGANIZATION:**

Pinnacle Value Fund ("Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end investment management company and is the only series of the Bertolet Capital Trust, a Delaware business trust organized on January 1, 2003 ("Trust"). The Trust's Declaration of Trust authorizes the Board of Trustees to issue an unlimited number of Fund shares. Each share of the Fund has equal voting, dividend, distribution, and liquidation rights. The Fund's investment objective is long term capital appreciation with income as a secondary objective.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services-Investment Companies."

**2.)**

**SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**SECURITY VALUATION:**

The Fund will primarily invest in equities and convertible securities. Investments in securities are carried at market value. Securities traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price on that day. Lacking a last sale price, a security is valued at its last bid price on that day, except when, in the Adviser's opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value of the security. When market quotations are not readily available, when Adviser determines the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Trustees.

Fixed income securities are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value. A pricing service uses electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading lots of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. When prices are not readily available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value determined in good faith by Adviser, subject to review of the Board of Trustees. Short term investments in fixed income securities with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method.

The Trust has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. Various inputs are used in determining the value of each investment which are summarized in the following three broad levels:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves & similar data.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;fair value which may require a high degree of judgement)

The availability of observable inputs may vary by security and is affected by a wide variety of factors including type of security, liquidity and other characteristics unique to the security. If valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, determination of fair value requires more judgment. Thus, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for Level 3 investments. Inputs used in valuing securities are not indicative of associated risks. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of a reporting period. Transfer from Level 1 to Level 2 results when a security priced previously with an official close price (Level 1) has no official close price so the bid price is used. The below table summarizes the inputs used at December 31, 2022:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| Equity (a) | $17092112 | $123165 | $- | $17215277 |
| Closed-end & Exchange Traded Funds | 876540 | - | - | 876540 |
| Money Market Funds | 11397282 | - | - | 11397282 |
| Investments at Market | $29365934 | $123165 | $- | $29489099 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) See Schedule of Investments for industry breakout.

There were no transfers between levels at period end. The Fund did not hold any Level 3 assets (those valued using significant unobservable inputs) at any time during the year ended December 31, 2022. Therefore a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs were used in determining fair value is not applicable.

PINNACLE VALUE FUND 11

BERTOLET CAPITAL TRUST

The Fund has adopted the financial accounting reporting rules required by the Derivatives and Hedging Topic of FASB Accounting Standards Codification (FASB ASC). Fund is required to include enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why a fund uses derivatives, how they are accounted for and how they affect a fund's results. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Fund held no derivative instruments.

**SHORT TERM INVESTMENTS:** 

The Fund may invest in money market funds and short term high quality debt securities such as commercial paper, repurchase agreements and certificates of deposit. Money market funds typically invest in short term instruments and attempt to maintain a stable net asset value. While the risk is low, these funds may lose value. At December 31, 2022 the Fund held approximately 39% of net assets in money market funds. These include the First American Government Obligations Fund which normally invests in government and agency securities with an objective of maximum current income consistent with capital preservation and maintaining liquidity and the Invesco Government & Agency Fund.

As of December 31, 2022 the Fund had approximately 36% of its assets in First American Government Obligation Fund - Class Z (Ticker: FGZXX). The investment in this fund is approximately 0.03% of the fund's net assets which was approximately $38.5 billion dollars at December 31, 2022. If the Adviser determines that it is in the best interest of Fund shareholders, the Adviser may redeem this investment. Further information on these funds is available at www.sec.gov.

**SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME:**

The Fund records security transactions based on a trade date. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities.

**INCOME TAXES:**

*Federal income taxes.* The Fund's policy is to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

*Distribution to shareholders.* Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. All short term capital gain distributions are ordinary income distributions for tax purposes.

The Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained upon examination by tax authority. Management has analyzed the Fund's tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on the prior three year returns or expected to be taken on the Fund's 2022 tax return. The Fund is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amount or unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months.

**ESTIMATES:**

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statement date and reported revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Fund imposes a redemption fee of 1.00% on shares redeemed within one year of purchase. The fee is assessed on an amount equal to the Net Asset Value of the shares at the time of redemption and is deducted from proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. For the year ended December 31, 2022, $0 of early redemption fees were returned to the Fund through shareholder redemptions. There were $23 in early redemption fees for the year ended December 31, 2021.

**3.)**

**INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT**

The Fund has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with Bertolet Capital LLC (Adviser). Under the Agreement, Adviser receives a fee equal to the annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund's average daily net assets up to $300 million, and an annual rate of 1% of the Fund's average daily net assets thereafter. For the year ended December 31, 2022, Adviser earned $361,644 in fees which are paid yearly. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Adviser waived $103,325 in advisory fees.

A Fund officer and trustee is also an officer and trustee of the Adviser. Advisory Agreement provides for expense reimbursement and fee waivers by Adviser, if Fund Annual Total Expenses exceed 1.24%, of average daily net assets through April 30, 2023.

12 PINNACLE VALUE FUND

BERTOLET CAPITAL TRUST

Adviser will be entitled to reimbursement of fees waived or reimbursed by Adviser to the Fund. Fees waived or expenses reimbursed during a given year may be paid to Adviser during the following three year period if payment of such expenses does not cause the Fund to exceed the expense limitation. Adviser is entitled to recoup $111,277 through December 31, 2023, $105,697 through December 31, 2024, and $103,325 through December 31, 2025.

**4.)**

**PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES**

For year ended December 31, 2022, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations/short-term investments totaled $7,551,221 and $6,969,160, respectively.

**5.)**

**FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION**

Net Investment income/(loss) and net realized gains/(losses) differ for financial statement and tax purposes due to differing treatments of wash sale losses deferred and losses realized after October 31, 2022. Differences between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) are attributable to tax deferral of losses.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 the Fund paid an ordinary income distribution of $0.16 per share, and a long-term capital gain of $1.34 per share. For the year ended December 31, 2021 the Fund paid an ordinary income distribution of $0.36 per share, a long-term capital gain of $0.82 per share, and, a short-term capital gain of $0.02 per share.

The tax nature of distributions paid during the year ended December 31, 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | <u>2022</u> | <u>2021</u> |
| Ordinary Income | $295735 | $751384 |
| Long Term Capital Gain | $2452259 | $1595855 |
|  | $2747994 | $2347239 |

---

At December 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings/(losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Costs of investments for federal income tax purposes | <u>$26242005</u> |

---

At December 31, 2022, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards. At December 31, 2022, the Fund had no post-October losses.

**6.) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

**7.) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS**

Management has evaluated Fund related events and transactions occurring subsequent to year end. There were no events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the Fund's financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees and

Shareholders of Bertolet Capital Trust

New York, New York

**Opinion on the Financial Statements**

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Pinnacle Value Fund, a series of shares of Bertolet Capital Trust, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2022, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Pinnacle Value Fund as of December 31, 2022, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

**Basis for Opinion**

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the Fund's auditor since 2003.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

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 entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

**Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes**

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Fund's actual returns. 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 the ongoing costs of investing in this Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Chart assumes an initial investment of $10,000 made on 1/1/2013. Total return is based on the net change in NAV and assuming reinvestment of all dividends and other distributions. Performance figures represent past performance which is not predictive of future performance. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that your shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. All returns reflect reinvested dividends but do not reflect the impact of taxes.

Throughout the period shown, the investment adviser has voluntarily waived and reimbursed certain expenses of the Fund. Without such waivers and reimbursements returns would be lower.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert

Registrant's Board of Trustees has determined that it does not have an audit committee financial expert. Registrant does not feel the absence of a financial expert impacts the ability of audit committee to fulfil its requirement because of the (1) straightforward nature of the Fund's investment & accounting requirements; (2) fact that transfer agent and accounting functions are performed by an independent third party; (3) fact that annual results are audited by an independent accounting firm; (4) fact that there is only one fund in fund complex;(5) aggregate financial expertise of all Trustees is adequate.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit and tax services during the past two fiscal years. "Audit services" refers to performing an audit of registrant's financial statements, tests of internal controls and any other services provided in connection with regulatory or statutory filings. "Tax services" refers to the preparation of federal, state and excise tax returns.

Audit services $12,600 $12,600

Tax services $2,800 $2,800

Audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies & procedures requiring the audit committee to pre-approve all audit, tax and non-audit services of registrant including services provided to any entity affiliated with registrant. All of principal accountant's hours spent auditing the registrant's financial statements were attributable to work performed by full time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table shows all non-audit fees billed by registrant's principal accountant for services to registrant and registrant's investment adviser for last 2 years. The audit committee has considered whether non-audit services rendered to registrant's adviser is compatible with maintaining the accountant's independence and has concluded that the rendering of non-audit services has not compromised the accountant's independence.
