1. Securities Valuation
Securities held by Eubel Brady & Suttman Income and Appreciation Fund and Eubel Brady & Suttman Income Fund (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued at its last bid price. Securities traded on NASDAQ are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Investments representing shares of other open-end investment companies, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by such companies. The Funds typically use an independent pricing service to determine the value of their fixed income securities. The pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of fixed income securities without regard to sale or bid prices. Commercial paper may be valued at amortized cost, which under normal circumstances approximates market value.
If Eubel Brady & Suttman Asset Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”), the investment adviser to the Funds, determines that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from the pricing service or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Eubel Brady & Suttman Mutual Fund Trust.
In March 2017, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-08 (“ASU 2017-08”), “Receivables – Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs (Subtopic 310-20): Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.” ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities, held at a premium, to be amortized to the earliest call date. ASU 2017-08 does not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount, which continue to amortize to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Funds are complying with ASU 2017-08 and the impact is not deemed material to the Funds.
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) establish a single authoritative definition of fair value, set out a framework for measuring fair value and require additional disclosures about fair value measurements.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs
Certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are classified as Level 2 since the values are typically provided by an independent pricing service that utilizes various “other significant observable inputs” as discussed above. Other fixed income securities, including certain corporate bonds and bank debt held by the Funds, are classified as Level 3 since the values for these securities are based on prices derived from one or more significant inputs that are unobservable. The inputs or methodology used are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. 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 based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

DCF - Discounted Cash Flow
| 1 | Significant increases and decreases in the unobservable inputs used to determine fair value of Level 3 assets could result in significantly higher or lower fair value measurements. An increase to the unobservable input would result in a decrease to the fair value. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect. |
| 2 | The Discount Rate used is determined by the Adviser by employing a reference benchmark, adjusted by a credit spread. |
There were no derivative instruments held by the Funds as of or during the period ended April 30, 2020.
2. Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on a specific identification basis.

3. Federal Income Tax Information
The following information is computed on a tax basis for each item as of April 30, 2020:
| | | EBS Income and Appreciation Fund | | | EBS Income Fund | |
| Tax cost of portfolio investments | | $ | 97,928,988 | | | $ | 183,720,276 | |
| Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 3,397,623 | | | $ | 2,784,098 | |
| Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (5,329,354 | ) | | | (5,288,664 | ) |
| Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (1,931,731 | ) | | $ | (2,504,566 | ) |
The difference between federal income tax cost of portfolio investments and the Schedule of Investments cost for EBS Income and Appreciation Fund is due to certain timing differences in the recognition of capital gains or losses under income tax regulation and GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are temporary in nature and are primarily due to basis adjustments related to the Fund’s holdings in convertible bonds.
