**PROVIDENT TRUST STRATEGY FUND** 

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)** 

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of Provident Mutual Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, "Financial Services – Investment Companies." The Company consists of one non-diversified fund – Provident Trust Strategy Fund (the "Fund"). The Company was incorporated under the laws of Wisconsin on May 23, 1986.

The investment objective of the Fund is long-term growth of capital.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) Each equity security is valued at the last
 sale price reported by the principal security exchange on which the issue is traded. Securities that are traded on the Nasdaq Markets
 are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, or if no sale is reported, the latest bid price. Securities which are traded over-the-counter,
 bonds and short-term U.S. Treasury Bills are valued using an evaluated bid from a pricing service. Money market funds are valued at net
 asset value per share. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available will have a fair value determined by the Valuation
 Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Valuation and Pricing Procedures adopted by the Board of Directors. The
 fair value of a security may differ from the Fund's last quoted price and the Fund may not be able to sell a security at the estimated
 fair value. Market quotations may not be available, for example, if trading in particular securities has halted during the day and not
 resumed prior to the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange. As of March 31, 2026, there were no securities that were internally
 fair valued.

In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation approaches. Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by generally requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund's assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

Level 1 – Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Valuations based on quoted prices for similar assets or in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The following table summarizes the Fund's investments as of March 31, 2026, based on the inputs used to value them:

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Level 1** | **Level 2** | **Level 3** | **Total**  |

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(B) The Fund may purchase securities on a when-issued
 or delayed delivery basis. Although the payment and interest terms of these securities are established at the time the purchaser enters
 into the agreement, these securities may be delivered and paid for at a future date, generally within 45 days. The Fund records purchases
 of when-issued securities and reflects the value of such securities in determining net asset value in the same manner as other portfolio
 securities. For the six month period ended March 31, 2026, there were no such securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(C) Net realized gains and losses on sales of securities
 are computed on the identified cost basis. For financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are recorded on the trade date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(D) Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend
 date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. The Fund records the amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts, respectively,
 on securities purchased using the effective interest method in accordance with GAAP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(E) The preparation of financial statements in
 conformity with GAAP 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses
 during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(F) No provision has been made for federal income
 taxes since the Fund has elected to be taxed as a "regulated investment company" and intends to distribute substantially all
 net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders and otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M
 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(G) The Fund has reviewed all open tax years and
 major jurisdictions, which include federal and the state of Wisconsin, and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions
 that would require recognition in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized
 tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six month period ended March
 31, 2026, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities and,
 as of March 31, 2026, open federal tax years include tax years ended September 30, 2022 through 2025. The Fund has no examinations
 in progress and is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax
 benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(H) GAAP requires that certain components of net
 assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified for financial statement and federal income tax purposes. These differences are
 caused primarily by the utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends
 paid deduction. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset value per share.

(2) INVESTMENT ADVISER AND MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

The Company, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an investment advisory agreement (the "Advisory Agreement") with Provident Trust Company ("PTC"), with whom certain officers and a director of the Fund are affiliated, to serve as the investment adviser. Under the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays 0.75% on the first $30,000,000 of average daily net assets, 0.65% on average daily net assets in excess of $30,000,000 and less than $100,000,000, and 0.60% on average daily net assets over $100,000,000. The Fund is responsible for paying a share of the compensation, benefits and expenses of its Chief Compliance Officer. For administrative convenience, PTC initially makes these payments, which are included in miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and is later reimbursed by the Fund.

Pursuant to an expense cap/reimbursement agreement between PTC and the Company, PTC has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or assume expenses for the Fund to the extent necessary to ensure that the Fund's total operating expenses, excluding taxes, interest, brokerage commissions and other costs relating to portfolio securities transactions (including the costs, fees and expenses associated with the Fund's investments in other investment companies) and other extraordinary expenses, do not exceed 1.00% of the Fund's average daily net assets

**PROVIDENT TRUST STRATEGY FUND** 

**NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS** 

**March 31, 2026 (Unaudited)(Continued)** 

on an annual basis. The expense cap/reimbursement agreement will continue in effect until January 31, 2027, with successive renewal terms of one year unless terminated by PTC or the Company prior to any such renewal. PTC is entitled to recoup such amounts from the Fund for a period of up to three years from the date PTC reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the Fund. During the six month period ended March 31, 2026, no such expenses were waived and PTC has recouped all eligible amounts.

The Fund adopted a Distribution Plan (the "Plan") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan provides that the Fund may charge a distribution and service fee not to exceed 0.25% (on an annualized basis) of the Fund's average daily net assets. Amounts payable under the Plan are paid monthly for any activities or expenses primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the Fund. For the six month period ended March 31, 2026, no such expenses were charged to shareholders.

Under the Company's organizational documents, each director, officer, employee or other agent of the Company is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Company. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Company, on behalf of the Fund, enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.

As of March 31, 2026, PTC beneficially owned 21.28% of the outstanding shares of the Fund on behalf of its investment advisory clients. In addition, as of March 31, 2026, PTC's employees, as participants in the Provident Trust Company Retirement Plan (the "Retirement Plan"), beneficially owned 25.90% of the outstanding shares of the Fund. As a result, as of March 31, 2026, in its capacity as sponsor of the Retirement Plan and investment manager of advisory accounts, PTC beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 47.18% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.

(3) DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. On December 19, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a distribution of $0.19427503 per share from net investment income and $2.97705 from long-term capital gains, payable December 19, 2025, to shareholders of record on December 18, 2025.

(4) INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the six month period ending March 31, 2026, purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities (excluding all short-term securities) were $0 and $2,329,122, respectively.

(5) INCOME TAX INFORMATION

(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. Management has determined that there were no additional subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Fund's financial statement disclosures.

(7) NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker, clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure requirements.

Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Fund. The Fund operates as a single segment entity. The Fund's income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Adviser, who serves as the chief operating decision maker, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
