MESSAGE |
To Our Shareholders |
As you will read in the attached portfolio management review, the Buffalo Funds had a solid performance year with many of the Funds outpacing their respective indices for the twelve months ending March 31, 2006. Total assets for the Buffalo Funds complex surpassed $3.1 billion and net inflows have been steady and manageable in the first few months of 2006. We re-opened the Buffalo High Yield Fund on November 14, 2005 as rising short-term interest rates have helped push corporate bond yields to levels we believe are now more commensurate with their risk.
After fixating on real estate and other hard assets (oil, gold, etc.) during most of 2005, it appears investors are more enthusiastic about stocks in general going into 2006. In particular, the interest in growth-oriented stocks seems to be building. The Federal Reserve appears intent on slowing inflationary pressures that have mounted in housing, certain commodities and other basic industries. Unless they are forced to resort to much higher interest rates, this would appear to favor a lengthening of the economic expansion, albeit at a somewhat slower pace. In this environment, investors may put more emphasis on companies growing independently of the pace of the economy. We are excited about this possibility as the Buffalo Funds equity strategy would fit this environment quite well.
We continue our relentless pursuit of companies benefiting from secular trends that are allowing them to grow faster than the overall economy. Additionally, our emphasis continues to be on quality — those companies with little or no debt, that produce more cash flow than they need to operate and grow, that have proven management teams — and on great business models — those companies that have high profit margins, are not capital intensive and are not people intensive. We will meet in person with more companies than ever in 2006, in our efforts to uncover great new long-term investments for our shareholders.
We often get questions about allowing purchases of the Buffalo Small Cap and Buffalo Micro Cap Funds through supermarkets and various brokerage platforms. The Buffalo Small Cap Fund was closed to new shareholder accounts (except 401(k) plans) through all platforms on August 4, 2003. The Fund remains open to existing shareholders and to new shareholders opening accounts directly through Buffalo’s shareholder services agent. The Buffalo Micro Cap Fund is available only to shareholders opening accounts directly with our agent. We continue to feel restrictions on the purchase of these two Funds is in the best interests of shareholders. In our opinion, the best strategy for both Funds is asset growth through long-term price appreciation and controlled rather than unrestricted fund inflows.
As always, we are grateful for your trust in the Buffalo Funds. As fellow shareholders, you can rest assured our team will remain disciplined to our strategy and continue to focus on the long-term.
Sincerely, Kent W. Gasaway President Buffalo Funds |

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
The 12 month period ending on March 31, 2006 was a positive one in general for equity investors, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 11.73%, despite the high prices of energy and other commodities. As we write this, the Fed has continued its slow, measured rate-raising keeping a wary eye for signs of inflationary pressures. Where energy and commodity prices go in the short term we don’t know, but they may continue to weigh on investor sentiment. We don’t follow benchmark-driven industry weightings, thus energy and other commodities have not been a prominent investment for most of our Funds. Despite a relative under weighting in one of the best performing sectors, all but two of the Funds posted double digit gains for the year.
We continue to focus on the fundamental long-term prospects of our holdings and believe that our emphasis on underlying secular growth trends and valuation discipline will continue to benefit shareholders. Please see the investment results table, which outlines the performance of each of the Funds.
The Buffalo Balanced Fund was up 11.23% for the year, compared to a 11.73% return for the S&P 500 Index. The Fund outpaced the Lipper Balanced Funds Index return of 10.02%. This Fund invests in common stocks with rising dividends, as well as convertible and high yield bonds.
Corporate bond prices have reacted to the rising rate environment, and we will likely find more bond related investments as they reach our yield requirements. This should help increase the yield on our portfolio. We think the stock market will continue to present opportunities as well. Currently, the mix between bonds and stocks sits at approximately 33/66% respectively, with most of our stocks offering attractive dividends as well. 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 future rises in interest rates.
The Buffalo High Yield Fund posted a positive year, returning 6.82% versus the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index return of 7.31% and the Lipper High Yield Bond Funds Index return of 7.14%. Due to relatively low interest rates and corporate yield spreads, we had let cash build in the Fund as we anticipated a generally higher level of corporate bond rates. While the build-up in cash may have held back the Fund’s relative performance earlier in the year, our interest has been in the long-term and positioning the Fund for the future. As rates have continued to rise throughout the past year, we are now finding attractive investment opportunities and have substantially reduced cash balances.
Buffalo Large Cap Fund was up 9.95% for the year and, like most of our equity funds, had to make do without the benefit of energy-related stocks. The Fund’s benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, was up 11.73% for the year. Helping performance in the Fund were stocks such as Bayer AG, Corning Inc. and FedEx Corp. However, some of the Fund’s other technology and healthcare holdings hindered overall performance, including such names as Boston Scientific Corp. and Symantec Corp. Examples of stocks added to the portfolio, which met our investment criteria, include C.R. Bard, Inc., Harrah’s Entertainment, Inc. and MedImmune, Inc.

To Our Shareholders (continued) |
This was the first full year that the Buffalo Micro Cap Fund has been in existence, and although relatively young, it posted the second highest Buffalo Fund return for the year, coming in at 27.48% versus 25.85% for the Russell 2000 Index. The Fund has continued to experience fairly steady cash inflows and we believe it is well positioned to benefit from our extensive experience with relatively small companies as it focuses on those companies with market capitalizations below $600 million. We had a number of excellent performers, including LifeCell Corp., Neoware Systems, Inc. and Plexus Corp. We continue to find plenty of new ideas which fit nicely within the Fund’s limited capitalization mandate.
The Fund is currently available only to direct investors. Availability through the supermarkets in the future will be considered based on market conditions and cash flows.
The Buffalo Mid Cap Fund was also up significantly this year, posting a return of 25.21% despite having limited exposure to the energy sector, outperforming its benchmark, the S&P Midcap 400 Index, which was up 21.62% over the same period. Healthcare and technology holdings helped propel the Fund’s performance with holdings such as Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., BEA Systems, Inc. and Citrix Systems, Inc. doing particularly well. We initiated a number of new positions including names in the consumer, retail, technology and healthcare sectors such as Boyd Gaming Corp., IMS Health, Inc. and Red Hat, Inc.
Buffalo Science & Technology Fund led all the Buffalo Funds this year, posting a return of 27.96%, compared to the Lipper Science & Technology Funds Index’s 22.92%. The S&P 500 Index returned 11.73% during the same period. We continually reposition the Fund to take advantage of opportunities presented in these relatively dynamic sectors. This past year, we increased the Fund’s weighting in technology holdings as this sector had lagged earlier in the year. Standout performers, as in some of our other Funds, included Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Broadcom Corp. and SanDisk Corp. We also added new stocks to the portfolio such as Corning, Inc., Immucor, Inc. and Varian Medical Systems, Inc.
Buffalo Small Cap Fund posted a return of 22.46% for the year, propelled by strong performance by smaller capitalization stocks generally, with the S&P Smallcap 600 Index up 24.07% over the same twelvemonth period. Despite being underweight in the energy and commodity sectors, much of the Fund’s performance over this time period can be traced to our stock selections in healthcare, technology and consumer discretionary stocks. Several stocks were standout performers during the year, with holdings such as Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc., FormFactor, Inc. and Gamestop Corp. doing particularly well. Several new holdings were added based upon our long-term trend and fundamental analysis including Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (digital audio encoding), ev3, Inc. (a manufacturer of vascular medical devices) and Trimble Navigation Ltd. (a manufacturer of global positioning systems (GPS)).
4 |
The Buffalo USA Global Fund was up 14.05% for the year, beating its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which was up 11.73% over the same period. As this Fund owned few energy stocks, the Fund had to make up for its limited energy exposure through its other holdings. Stocks that performed well included FormFactor, Inc., GTECH Holdings Corp. and Halliburton Co. We added a number of new stocks to the Fund including Las Vegas Sands Corp. (casinos in Las Vegas and Macau), IMS Health, Inc. (healthcare information provider) and Trimble Navigation Ltd. (GPS equipment), all of which qualify for the Fund’s unique investment objective of investing only in U.S. companies that generate a substantial component of their revenues outside the United States.
Thank you for your continued confidence in the Buffalo Funds.
Sincerely,
Sincerely, John C. Kornitzer President | Kent W. Gasaway Sr. Vice President | ||

EXPENSE EXAMPLE |
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs (including redemption fees) and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund specific expenses. The example below is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (10/1/05 – 3/31/06). This information is unaudited.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the tables below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares of the Buffalo Balanced, Large Cap, Mid Cap, Science & Technology and USA Global Funds within two months of purchase. The Buffalo High Yield, Small Cap and Micro Cap Funds will charge a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares within six months of purchase. To the extent a Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example below. The example below includes management fees, registration fees and other expenses. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ 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 our Funds 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. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL |
STATEMENTS |
March 31, 2006 |
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Buffalo Balanced Fund, Inc., Buffalo High Yield Fund, Inc., Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Inc., Buffalo Funds (comprised of the Buffalo Micro Cap Fund, Buffalo Mid Cap Fund and Buffalo Science & Technology Fund), Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Inc. and Buffalo USA Global Fund, Inc. (the “Funds”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified open-end management investment companies. The shares of the Buffalo Funds are issued in multiple series, with each series, in effect, representing a separate Fund. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
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. All equity securities that are traded using NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), which may not necessarily represent the last sales price. If there has been no sale on such exchange or on NASDAQ on such day, the security is valued at the closing bid price on such day.
When market quotations are not readily available, any security or other asset is valued at its fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Boards of Directors/Trustees (the “Board”). 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, 2006, the Buffalo Balanced Fund and Buffalo High Yield Fund held fair valued securities with market values of $140,904 and $204,300, respectively or 0.09% and 0.10% of total net assets, respectively.
Debt securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are normally valued at amortized cost, unless the Board of Directors/Trustees determines that amortized cost does not represent fair value.
B. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — Each Fund or series complies 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 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.
F. INDEMNIFICATIONS — Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and directors/trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. 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, and may not occur. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Inc.
Buffalo USA Global Fund, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Buffalo Balanced Fund, Inc., Buffalo High Yield Fund, Inc., Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Inc., Buffalo Funds (comprised of the Buffalo Micro Cap Fund, 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, 2006, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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, 2006, the results of its operations, changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS
At a meeting of the Board of Directors/Trustees (the “Directors”) of Buffalo Funds held on November 7, 2005, the Directors, including those Directors who are not “interested persons” as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Independent Directors”) voted unanimously to approve the renewal of the Investment Management Agreements with Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. (“KCM”) for each of the Funds.
During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by KCM and the performance of the Funds. In advance of the November 7, 2005 Board meeting, the Directors, with the assistance of independent legal counsel, requested, received and reviewed materials from KCM relating to the Agreements, including materials prepared by Lipper with respect to the expenses and performance of each of the Funds and comparable funds managed by other investment advisers. Immediately prior to the Board meeting, the Independent Directors met in executive session with their independent counsel to discuss their fiduciary duties and the relevant factors they should consider during their evaluation.
The Board’s evaluation of the investment advisory arrangements included a review of historical investment performance information of the Funds, fee and expense information of the Funds, and information regarding the nature and quality of the management and advisory services provided by KCM, the qualifications and the performance of the investment and management personnel who service the Funds.
The Board was satisfied that the peer group and indices comparisons were relevant and that the performance record demonstrated that the Funds continued to receive high quality advisory services. The Board was satisfied with the long-term investment performance of the Funds. The Directors were also satisfied with the qualifications, expertise and overall performance of the Funds’ portfolio management team as well as the Funds’ management team responsible for Fund operations and compliance. The Board noted the following additional benefits to the Funds of renewing the Agreements: the commitment of the manager to enhancing distribution; the experience of KCM in managing funds; and the use of the Kornitzer name. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that KCM has provided and would be able to continue to provide services of a quality and nature that is satisfactory to the Board.
Regarding the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds, the Directors considered the size of the Funds and the information provided by KCM stating that it was not yet experiencing economies of scale that can be passed on the shareholders in the form of breakpoints. The Board compared the advisory fees and the overall expense ratios of each of the Funds to those of similar funds and determined that the fee and expense levels were competitive and therefore reasonable.
In voting unanimously to approve the renewal of each Agreement, the Board considered all relevant factors and each factor on a Fund by Fund basis. The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance and each Director gave varying weights to each factor according to his own judgment. The Directors determined that they had received adequate information and were able to conclude that the continuation of the Agreements would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
