	VALUE INVESTING IN SMALL COMPANIES FOR MORE THAN 30 YEARS

A FEW WORDS ON CLOSED-END FUNDS

	Royce & Associates, LLC manages three closed-end funds: Royce Value Trust, the first small-cap value closed-end fund offering; Royce Micro-Cap Trust, the only micro-cap closed-end fund; and Royce Focus Trust, a closed-end fund that invests in a limited number of primarily small-cap companies. A closed-end fund is an investment company whose shares are listed on a stock exchange or are traded in the over-the-counter market. Like all investment companies, including open-end mutual funds, the assets of a closed-end fund are professionally managed in accordance with the investment objectives and policies approved by the fund’s Board of Directors. A closed-end fund raises cash for investment by issuing a fixed number of shares through initial and other public offerings that may include shelf offerings and periodic rights offerings. Proceeds from the offerings are invested in an actively managed portfolio of securities. Investors wanting to buy or sell shares of a publicly traded closed-end fund after the offerings must do so on a stock exchange or the Nasdaq market, as with any publicly traded stock. This is in contrast to open-end mutual funds, in which the fund sells and redeems its shares on a continuous basis.
A CLOSED-END FUND OFFERS SEVERAL DISTINCT ADVANTAGES   NOT AVAILABLE FROM AN OPEN-END FUND STRUCTURE
	•	Since a closed-end fund does not issue redeemable securities or offer its securities on a continuous basis, it does not need to liquidate securities or hold uninvested assets to meet investor demands for cash redemptions, as an open-end fund must.
	•	In a closed-end fund, not having to meet investor redemption requests or invest at inopportune times is ideal for value managers who attempt to buy stocks when prices are depressed and sell securities when prices are high.
	•	A closed-end fund may invest more freely in less liquid portfolio securities because it is not subject to potential stockholder redemption demands. This is particularly beneficial for Royce-managed closed-end funds, which invest in small- and micro-cap securities.
	•	The fixed capital structure allows permanent leverage to be employed as a means to enhance capital appreciation potential.
	•	Unlike Royce’s open-end funds, our closed-end funds are able to distribute capital gains on a quarterly basis. Each of the Funds has adopted a quarterly distribution policy for its common stock.
	We believe that the closed-end fund structure is very suitable for the long-term investor who understands the benefits of a stable pool of capital.
WHY DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT IS IMPORTANT
	A very important component of an investor’s total return comes from the reinvestment of distributions. By reinvesting distributions, our investors can maintain an undiluted investment in a Fund. To get a fair idea of the impact of reinvested distributions, please see the charts on pages 13, 15 and 17. For additional information on the Funds’ Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Options and the benefits for stockholders, please see page 19 or visit our website at www.roycefunds.com.

For more than 30 years, we have used a value approach to invest in smaller-cap securities. We focus primarily on the quality of a company’s balance sheet, its ability to generate free cash flow and other measures of profitability or sound financial condition. At times, we may also look at other factors, such as a company’s unrecognized asset values, its future growth prospects or its turnaround potential following an earnings disappointment or other business difficulties. We then use these factors to assess the company’s current worth, basing the assessment on either what we believe a knowledgeable buyer might pay to acquire the entire company, or what we think the value of the company should be in the stock market.

Charles M. Royce, President During our security selection process, we have historically focused on five categories of risk: valuation, business strategy, market, portfolio and financial. Of these, financial risk is probably the most important. Small companies, by virtue of their size, are generally more fragile than large companies, which makes the need for strong financial condition paramount. But how do we evaluate a company’s financial strength? One of the most important steps involves a careful scrutiny of the balance sheet. This evaluation is as much art as science, which is one way of saying that the process entails a number of subjective measures in addition to more objective, quantifiable ones. It is not simply the numbers that tell the story, but one’s interpretation of their significance. Rather than concentrate primarily on long-term debt, we search for companies whose balance sheets Continued on Page 4...

	IMPORTANT PERFORMANCE AND RISK INFORMATION
	All performance information in this Review and Report reflects past performance, is presented on a total return basis and reflects the reinvestment of distributions. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Performance information does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a stockholder would pay on distributions or on the sale of Fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate, so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when sold. Current performance may be higher or lower than performance quoted. Current month-end performance may be obtained at www.roycefunds.com. The Royce Funds invest primarily in securities of small-cap and/or micro-cap companies, which may involve considerably more risk than investments in securities of larger-cap companies. The thoughts expressed in this Review and Report to Stockholders concerning recent market movements and future prospects for small company stocks are solely the opinion of Royce at December 31, 2006, and, of course, historical market trends are not necessarily indicative of future market movements. Statements regarding the future prospects for particular securities held in the Funds’ portfolios and Royce’s investment intentions with respect to those securities reflect Royce’s opinions as of December 31, 2006 and are subject to change at any time without notice. There can be no assurance that securities mentioned in this Review and Report to Stockholders will be included in any Royce-managed portfolio in the future.

LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS

All Things Must Pass . . .

As one year fades into permanent night and a new one greets its first day, talk naturally turns to transitions. The movement from 2006 to 2007 offered far more than a change in calendars to mark the passage of one period to another: The political landscape shifted as Republicans gave way to Democrats; the Federal Reserve Board moved from raising interest rates to a neutral stance; a growing economy slowed; and the real estate bubble either burst or began to leak, depending on where you live. None of these events was surprising in and of itself. One lesson that the asset management business repeatedly teaches is that change is the only constant. And the stock market was hardly immune from its own significant movements in 2006—though it changed in ways that we did not anticipate. While we had been calling for lower returns throughout the market, the Russell 2000 and Dow Jones Industrial Average both reached new highs in December. This was the year’s biggest surprise for us, since some of the conditions for a slump or slowdown in stock prices—most critically a slower-growth economy—had been present throughout much of 2006. Although returns were high across all asset classes, we saw what appeared to be a shift in market leadership after the long-term period of dynamic outperformance for small-cap stocks relative to their larger peers.

     A possible shift in market leadership has admittedly been a bit of a preoccupation for us in our communications over the last couple of years. Yet 2006 ended without a clear sense of whether small- or large-cap stocks were leading the market into 2007. While small-cap (as measured by the Russell 2000) did better for the calendar-year period and led during the

We want to make it clear that we do not see disaster or long-term difficulties ahead for our chosen asset class. However, the recent period of outperformance for small-cap, particularly small-cap value, is subject to the same realities of cyclicality that ensure a limited stay at the top for any investment class or style.

	show low leverage. We measure leverage more broadly by looking at the ratio of assets to stockholders’ equity. Using this method allows us to note net changes in long- and short-term debt, as well as in accounts receivable. Items that can have an adverse effect on a company, such as higher-than-usual levels of receivables or increasingly bulging inventories, are not always financed as long-term debt. This type of examination paints what we believe is a more complete picture. Our general rule-of-thumb is to look for a two-to-one ratio of assets to stockholders’ equity for non-financial companies. This represents what we refer to as the company’s “margin of safety.” If a company is carrying too much debt, it impedes its own ability to meet the challenge of out-of-left-field occurrences such as lawsuits and overseas currency crises. A conservatively capitalized company can better weather these storms because it has the necessary financial reserves to do so, while a company with too much debt on the balance sheet runs a greater risk that stormy weather will turn into a hurricane. Continued on Page 6...	LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS dynamic rallies that opened and closed the year, large-cap (as measured by the S&P 500) led during the second half of the year and from the previous high in May 2006 through the end of the year. We had guessed that large-cap would have a firmer grip on market leadership before December bade farewell, though we were more on target regarding the shift in market leadership than we were in expecting lower returns. In any case, the strong absolute returns of 2006 were welcome, though surprising, news, especially as they benefited smaller companies (to say nothing of Royce-managed portfolios). We’ll gladly exchange that for another forecast being partially incorrect.      The critical question for any investor is how best to deal with a new market-cycle phase that seems likely—to us, anyway—to be different from the last several years of strong returns and relative performance dominance for smaller stocks. We want to make it clear that we do not see disaster or long-term difficulties ahead for our chosen asset class. However, the recent period of outperformance for small-cap, particularly small-cap value, is subject to the same realities of cyclicality that ensure a limited stay at the top for any investment class or style. The last seven years were the reverse of the late ’90s, when large-cap stocks were enjoying a long period of relative outperformance and, within the small-cap universe, growth mostly outpaced value. Having noted that any market cycle contains a hidden expiration date, we remain optimistic about the prospects for small-cap stocks. Our security selection process does not divide the small-cap world into value and growth segments. More importantly, we currently see many companies that we regard as high-quality businesses that have not fully participated in the small-cap bull run. Our task remains what it has always been: to search throughout the small-cap world for what we think are great businesses trading at attractive stock prices. It’s All Too Much After finishing 2005 with nearly identical returns, the small-cap Russell 2000 took back sole possession of the relative outperformance crown in 2006. The small-cap index gained 18.4% versus 15.8% for the S&P 500 and 9.5% for the Nasdaq Composite. Putting aside its calendar-year relative underperformance, it was a terrific year for large-cap stocks. The lion’s share of small-cap’s performance edge in 2006 occurred during the first quarter, a period during which the Russell 2000 gained an impressive 13.9%, compared to a relatively paltry gain of 4.2% for the S&P 500. However, during the less dynamic second (-5.0% versus -1.4%) and third quarters (+0.4% versus +5.7%), the Russell 2000 decisively trailed the large-cap index. Third-quarter strength was also key to large-cap’s advantage over its small-cap counterparts during the second half of the year: from 6/30/06 through 12/31/06, the Russell 2000 was up 9.4% versus a gain of 12.7% for the large-cap index. Small-cap managed to outpace the S&P 500 during the dynamic fourth quarter (+8.9% versus +6.7%), though the fourth quarter saw the large-cap index finally show a positive performance on a

total return basis from its peak established in March 2000. The S&P 500 also enjoyed its strongest calendar-year performance since 2003.

        Equally important from our perspective—because of the emphasis we put on down-market performance—was the fact that large-cap also finished ahead of small-cap from the earlier peak on 5/5/06 through 12/31/06, up 8.4% versus 1.6% for the Russell 2000. In our estimation, these stronger performances in the down and relatively flat periods of 2006 provide the most accurate barometer of the market’s subsequent near-term direction. We continue to believe that where investors go when stock prices fall is a telling indicator of nascent market leadership. Last January, we surmised that small-cap was apt to lead in any bullish period, while large-cap would lead in any bearish market environment. By the end of the second quarter, we felt differently. Issues with the economy and contracting worldwide liquidity had us convinced that large-cap was likely to capture leadership in an uptick as well as a downturn, and this reasoning proved sound until the rally that sparked the fourth quarter. What was most surprising about the upswing near the end of 2006 was the strength of more speculative issues within small-cap during a period in which we thought that investors would be looking for more safety and less risk. Micro-cap companies, as measured by the Russell Microcap index, posted significant gains in both the first (+14.1%) and fourth quarters (+10.3%) of 2006, something paralleled by some of our own portfolios with significant micro-cap exposure. Whether this late surge indicated ongoing small-cap strength remains to be seen.

Long, Long, Long

It certainly seems that small-cap value has been leading its growth counterpart, as measured by the Russell 2000 Value and Russell 2000 Growth indices, for a long, long, long time. Two thousand six actually marked the third consecutive year of value’s outperformance and sixth out of the last seven. Unlike 2005, which saw a narrowing performance spread between small-cap value and growth, 2006 was a year in which value substantially outperformed growth within small-cap. The Russell 2000 Value index was up an impressive 23.5% for the calendar year, while the Russell 2000 Growth index posted a return of 13.4%, a respectable result on an absolute basis, but more than one thousand basis points behind its value sibling. This considerable advantage for small-cap value only widened its advantage over long-term time periods. The Russell 2000 Value index outgained the Russell 2000 Growth index for the one-, three-, five-, 10-, 15-, 20- and 25-year periods ended 12/31/06.

        One interesting sidebar to the recent performance dominance of small-cap value has been its strength during upswings. It’s generally expected that value will prove its mettle during flat or down market periods, and this was certainly the case during the short-lived downdrafts of 2006, as small-cap value bested growth in the second (-2.7% versus -7.3%) and third quarters (+2.6%

What was most surprising about the upswing near the end of 2006 was the strength of more speculative issues within small-cap during a period in which we thought that investors would be looking for more safety and less risk.

	We also view financially strong companies as well-positioned to grow. The assets of these companies are derived more from retained earnings than paid-in capital; i.e., they have the ability to foster growth out of their own success as a business. The balance sheet and its accompanying footnotes and schedules also reveal companies whose businesses are conservatively managed: debts are written off early, LIFO inventories are used that may understate profits, and asset ownership and depreciation are the norm as opposed to leasing. Such practices give us critical insight into the way a company operates. The presence or absence of such items tells us something about management and their goals for the company. Other factors are also important to risk-focused investment managers like us. We ask certain questions as we study annual reports and financial statements: What is the schedule for bad debt provision? Is the company massaging earnings in the short-term via advertising or Continued on Page 8...	versus -1.8%). Yet small-cap value was also competitive in the first-quarter rally (+13.5% versus +14.4%), and actually held a slight advantage over small-cap growth in the similarly dynamic fourth quarter (+9.0% versus +8.8%). So while down- and flat-market returns were key to outperformance in the calendar year, strong absolute results in short-term upticks also helped the Russell 2000 Value index hang on to its significant performance edge in 2006. You’re Asking Me, “Will My Fund Grow?” We were very pleased with the strong absolute returns for our three closed-end portfolios in 2006. On a relative basis, both Royce Value Trust and Royce Micro-Cap Trust outgained the Russell 2000 on a net asset value (NAV) basis, while Royce Focus Trust came up short versus the small-cap index. All three Funds outperformed the Russell 2000 on a market price basis in 2006, and each Fund finished the year with a flourish in the form of a strong fourth quarter. This was the case for the small-cap universe as a whole, with micro-cap stocks finishing a bit stronger than their small-cap peers. Although Royce Value Trust and Royce Micro-Cap Trust each hold an ample number of micro-cap names, Royce Focus Trust has much less exposure. However, its relative underperformance came not in the fourth quarter (in which it outperformed the Russell 2000 on both an NAV and market price basis), but in the bearish second quarter. Its fourth-quarter strength was all the more notable considering the lack of micro-cap names.       Although there are important differences among all three of our closed-end portfolios, each had similar sector strength in 2006. Industrial Products and Technology holdings as a group did well in all three Funds on a dollar basis, posting the largest net gains in each portfolio. The worldwide construction boom continued to benefit many Industrial Products holdings in the metal fabrication and machinery industries. In Technology, successes could be found in several industries, including internet software and services, IT services, and (in RVT and FUND) components and systems. Within the Natural Resources sector, precious metals and mining companies saw a resurgence late in the year and were among the top beneficiaries of the overall market rally during the fourth quarter.

Dark Horse

As it relates to stock-market investing, quality is conventionally defined as a company’s ability to generate consistent growth in earnings and dividends over long-term time periods. It’s a definition that we agree with in large part. Some stock market observers, however, also hold that quality is the near-exclusive province of large-cap companies, mostly because their size and multiple lines of business are thought to make them less risky. By contrast, small-cap companies have traditionally been regarded as more volatile and speculative, and thus lacking the greater level of safety of their larger-cap cohorts. Here, of course, we part company with the conventional wisdom. We have always found quality companies in the small-cap world, and over the years have cultivated a pronounced preference for high-quality small-cap businesses.

     Why is this significant now? We think that in the current economic and stock-market cycles, high-quality companies offer investors several advantages, especially when compared to lower-quality stocks. Economic growth has slowed, corporate profit growth has likely peaked, and global liquidity has shown signs of contracting. Traditionally, more modest economic growth, coupled with an erosion of excess global liquidity, has favored higher quality stocks, as money flows to safer investments. Although it may seem surprising in light of small-cap value’s recent results, many high-quality small-cap stocks look attractively undervalued to us in the current market climate. Moving the capitalization parameters beyond small-cap, quality still appears undervalued. According to the Merrill Lynch Quantitative Strategy Quality Indices, the highest quality stocks (those with “A+” ratings) had an average forward price to earnings ratio of 17 times 2007 earnings, while the lowest quality stocks (those with “C” or “D” ratings) traded at an average 42 times 2007 earnings at the end of December 2006 (See the chart below).

     We have always believed that smaller companies with sound fundamentals should deliver strong absolute returns over the long term, especially when purchased at attractively low prices (a critical element in our security selection process). Our quest for quality typically begins with an examination of a company’s historical returns. We examine a business’s returns over full market cycles, with close emphasis paid to seeing precisely how those returns

repair expenditures? Are there any notices or indications of pending litigation? We take an in-depth look at the ratio of retained earnings to total equity and capitalized items such as development costs. All of these factors may have a bearing on a company’s—and by extension our own— exposure to risk. We take time to look back and compare balance sheets (as well as the rest of the financial statements) from previous years because we are interested in the history of a company. We look for changes from period to period that can tell us about a company’s direction. If the balance sheet takes a shape we like, we want to understand how it evolved to its current status. The process of balance sheet analysis is often time-consuming, seldom exciting and certainly never glamorous. It is critical, however, in our search to find the kind of healthy small-cap companies that have been our mainstay for 30 years.
	LETTER TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS
	were achieved. Another metric we examine with particular scrutiny is return on assets (ROA), defined as net income divided by assets. This ratio helps to reveal to us the first markings of a quality company. Of course, for most of our managers, a company’s balance sheet, record of success as a business and potential for a profitable future are also critically important. Our disciplined, bottom-up approach focuses on identifying companies that are generating strong (or improving) free cash flow and returns on capital. Our goal is to find quality companies that are trading at a discount to our estimate of their worth as a business.      We believe that the long-term records of The Royce Funds show that we have successfully identified growing businesses that are capable of both producing free cash and surviving potential difficulties in the stock market or the economy. For example, our three closed-end Funds’ portfolios have significant equity investments in U.S.-traded, non-financial common stocks that have a weighted average return on assets (ROA) greater than such companies contained in the Russell 2000. (See the table below). While these Funds may suffer underperformance periods from time to time, our belief is that a turn to quality in the market would benefit companies with such metrics, especially over long-term, full-market cycles. They are the small-cap universe’s ‘dark horses,’ companies that have strong fundamentals, but so far may not have enjoyed the full benefits of small-cap’s extended run.

	Results are the asset-weighted average trailing 12-month ROA for the U.S.-traded non-financial common stocks in each Fund’s portfolio as of 12/31/06.
	Here Comes The Sun The beginning and end points of market cycles are always unpredictable, and the timing of any leadership change often looks arbitrary until well after it has been established. It’s also important to remember that the market’s moves do not always make sense, at least until other, related factors come to light with the passage of time. Small-cap has enjoyed an extraordinary run over the last seven years. However, as this long-term small-cap rally matures, the asset class may become increasingly vulnerable to a correction. We do not see the possibility of either a period of large-cap leadership or a potential small-cap correction as bad news for investors with a long-term outlook. While a downturn would cause pain in the short run for small-cap investors, it would also present ample purchase opportunities. We also think that many of the high-quality small-caps we already own would potentially thrive beyond the difficulties of a hopefully short-term correction. Although a widespread shift to

quality would certainly benefit large-cap stocks—and would be consistent with our recent contention that large-cap is overdue for a stint of market leadership—we believe that it would also benefit stocks with high-quality characteristics throughout the market, including small- and micro-cap stocks. As the song says, “It’s all right.”

ROYCE VALUE TRUST

AVERAGE ANNUAL NAV TOTAL RETURNS Through 12/31/06						Manager’s Discussion Royce Value Trust’s (RVT) diversified portfolio of small- and micro-cap stocks more than participated in the mostly good times for small-cap stocks in 2006. The Fund gained 19.5% on a net asset value (NAV) basis and 21.0% on a market price basis, compared to calendar-year returns of 18.4% for the Russell 2000 and 15.1% for the S&P 600. In the third quarter, RVT was up 0.7% on an NAV basis and 8.0% on a market price basis, versus a gain of 0.4% for the Russell 2000 and a loss of 0.9% for the S&P 600. The fourth quarter arrived with a strong rally that closed out the year. The Fund was up 8.2% on an NAV basis and 11.3% on a market price basis, compared to gains of 8.9% for the Russell 2000 and 7.9% for the S&P 600.      RVT’s solid NAV return in 2006 contributed to its strong absolute and relative results over market-cycle and other long-term periods. From the previous small-cap market peak on 3/9/00 through 12/31/06, RVT gained 131.4% versus 41.7% for the Russell 2000 and 90.0% for the S&P 600. During the more bullish phase from the small-cap market trough on 10/9/02 through 12/31/06, the Fund was up 163.5% compared to a gain of 153.5% for the Russell 2000 and 143.7% for the S&P 600. On both an NAV and market price basis, RVT outperformed both of its small-cap benchmarks for the one-, three-, five-, 10-, 15-, 20-year and since inception (11/26/86) periods ended 12/31/06. (The Fund celebrated its twentieth anniversary in November 2006.) RVT’s average annual NAV total return since inception was 13.0%.      While each of the Fund’s equity sectors had positive net gains, holdings in Industrial Products led the way in dollar-based net gains for the full year (as well as in the fourth quarter). Companies in the machinery industry posted the sector’s highest net gains on a dollar basis, though they were not as dominant in the second half as in the first. The metals and distributions and other industrial products industries also showed strong dollar-based gains. Kimball International is a company that we have owned since 1989. The firm, whose low debt and consistent dividend helped to draw and maintain our attraction, makes wood furniture and cabinets, as well as electronic assembly products. Better-than-expected fiscal third- and fourth-quarter earnings, as well as new opportunities for its electronics division, seemed to attract more investors. Unlike many stocks in 2006, Kimball’s price climbed relatively later and more consistently, taking off in May and climbing steadily from then on. We trimmed our position in November.      The same month saw us make a small trim to our position in asset management company, AllianceBernstein Holding. We have long admired the firm for its success in a business that we know well. The Fund’s largest holding at the end of the year, it was also the largest net gainer on a dollar basis in 2006, as the firm benefited from rising profits and earnings. Although our current position dates back to 2000, we have owned the stock periodically since 1993. Fine art, antique and collectibles auction house Sotheby’s was first selected for RVT’s portfolio in 1990, All performance information in this Report reflects past performance, is presented on a total return basis and reflects the reinvestment of distributions.

Performance and Portfolio Review

		though we took our current position in 1998. Its leadership in its field has long been a source of our attraction. Its share price was volatile, but moved mostly upward in 2006. First purchased in 1998, SEACOR Holdings is a relative newcomer to RVT’s portfolio. The company engages in the ownership, operation, marketing and remarketing of mostly marine transportation and oil and gas equipment. Better-than-expected earnings fueled the rise in its stock price, and we sold a small number of shares in December.      Net losses at the individual company level were relatively modest. The share prices of many energy-related stocks began to cool down during April and May. The problem for ceramic proppant maker Carbo Ceramics (which we’ve owned since 1996) was that its stock price remained in a downdraft for much of the rest of the year. (Proppants are used in the hydraulic fracturing of natural gas and oil wells.) Its balance sheet remained strong and earnings were positive, so we increased our stake in October. Forward Air provides various transportation and logistics services. Its calendar third-quarter earnings were positive, but lower than what analysts were anticipating, which helped to speed the decline of its share price.	PORTFOLIO DIAGNOSTICS

ROYCE MICRO-CAP TRUST

AVERAGE ANNUAL NAV TOTAL RETURNS Through 12/31/06						Manager’s Discussion Helped by a strong surge from micro-caps at the end of the year, the diversified portfolio of Royce Micro-Cap Trust (RMT) posted solid results on both an absolute and relative basis in 2006. RMT gained 22.5% on a net asset value (NAV) basis and 26.7% on a market price basis versus a return of 18.4% for the Russell 2000, the Fund’s small-cap benchmark. In a year that began and ended with vigorous rallies, RMT initially participated only on an NAV basis, with respective NAV and market price gains of 15.2% and 7.00% versus the Russell 2000’s return of 13.9% in the the first quarter. When stock prices fell in the second quarter, RMT displayed impressive down-market strength, losing 3.2% on an NAV basis and 2.3% on a market price basis, both results ahead of the Russell 2000’s 5.0% decline. The flatter-return period of the third quarter saw the Fund giving back some NAV gain, while it continued to be solid on a market price basis. RMT was down 0.3% an NAV basis between July and September, compared to gains of 2.8% in its market price and 0.4% for its small-cap benchmark.      In the rally that enlivened the fourth quarter, the Fund shone on both an NAV and market price basis. RMT gained 10.1% on an NAV basis and an impressive 17.9% on a market price basis versus an 8.9% return for the Russell 2000. From the interim small-cap peak on 5/5/06 through 12/31/06, the Fund was up 3.0% on an NAV basis and 14.7% on a market price basis, both results again better than the small-cap index’s return of 1.6%. Although this latter period represented a short time period, we were pleased with the Fund’s sturdy NAV showing considering the historical volatility and vulnerability of micro-cap stocks.      We were also pleased with the Fund’s NAV results over full market cycle and other long-term periods on both an absolute and relative basis. These are the most critical time spans when it comes to evaluating performance. From the small-cap market peak on 3/9/00 through 12/31/06, RMT gained 147.2% on an NAV basis (+232.6% on a market price basis) versus 47.1% for the Russell 2000. Perhaps more notable was its gain during the mostly bullish phase that ran from the small-cap market trough on 10/9/02 through 12/31/06, a period in which RMT gained 186.2% on an NAV basis (+253.5% on a market price basis) compared to the Russell 2000’s gain of 153.5%.The Fund also outperformed its benchmark for the one-, three-, five, 10-year and since inception (12/14/93) periods on both an NAV and market price basis. RMT’s average annual NAV total return since inception was 14.6%.      Each of the Fund’s sectors posted net gains in 2006, with Technology and Industrial Products in the lead on a dollar basis. At the individual company level, the Fund’s top net gainers came from several different sectors and industry groups, with no single area truly dominating. Securities broker International Assets Holding is involved in asset management. The announcement in June of record revenues and earnings for its fiscal third quarter appeared to attract more investors to the firm’s stock. We took some gains between June and December.

Performance and Portfolio Review

		Senza Corporation is a women’s apparel retailer based in Canada whose stock we first purchased in 1995. Its share price climbed when its acquisition by a larger competitor was announced in November, which prompted us to sell our position at a substantial net gain. A happy exception to the woes that afflicted many healthcare stocks in 2006 was the terrific performance of First Consulting Group, which provides management and other services to healthcare, pharmaceutical and life sciences businesses. We liked its niche business and balance sheet. The earnings strength of this top-ten position seemed to take Wall Street by surprise in 2006, which in turn drew more investors to its stock.      Net losses for individual companies in the portfolio were generally small. Multi-business holding company BB Holdings spun off a subsidiary that trades in the U.S., but its own domestic de-listing drove investors away from the stock, which continues to trade on the London Exchange. American Bank Note Holographics, a firm that produces holograms for currency, credit card identification and document security saw its stock price fall 60% in March on news that a major credit card company would no longer be using the firm’s security stripe. Its stock was only able to mount a slight rebound. We held on to our position owing to our regard for its niche business, balance sheet and positive earnings.	PORTFOLIO DIAGNOSTICS

ROYCE FOCUS TRUST

AVERAGE ANNUAL NAV TOTAL RETURNS Through 12/31/06						Manager’s Discussion Although its calendar-year net asset value (NAV) performance suffered a bit in comparison to its small-cap benchmark, the Russell 2000, we were pleased with the results for Royce Focus Trust (FUND) on an absolute basis. FUND gained 15.9% on an NAV basis, and an impressive 30.5% on a market price basis, compared to a gain of 18.4% for the Russell 2000. In all but one quarter in 2006, the Fund’s NAV results went much the way that we would expect, with solid up-market turns in the dynamic first and fourth quarters and slightly better relative downmarket performance in the bearish second quarter. During the bullish first quarter, the Fund was up 13.6% on an NAV basis and 18.4% on a market price basis, compared to a 13.9% gain for the Russell 2000. The second quarter saw the Fund lose 4.8% on an NAV basis and 6.5% on a market price basis, while the Russell 2000 declined 5.0%.      However, in the underwhelming environment of the third quarter, FUND declined 3.6% on an NAV basis, compared to a gain of 0.4% for both its market price and the Russell 2000. The Fund rebounded nicely in the fourth quarter, when stock prices in general were on the rise. On an NAV basis, FUND was up 11.2% (+17.5% on a market price basis) versus a return of 8.9% for the small-cap index. So while the portfolio did well to make up for its difficult third quarter, it was not enough to push its calendar-year return past that of the Russell 2000.      The Fund once again posted strong absolute and superior relative results over market-cycle and other long-term performance periods. From the previous small-cap market peak on 3/9/00 through 12/31/06, the Fund gained 200.5% on an NAV basis (+293.4% on a market price basis) versus 41.7% for the Russell 2000. In the more bullish period from the small-cap market trough on 10/9/02 through 12/31/06, FUND’s NAV return was 215.9% (+266.8% on a market price basis) versus a gain of 153.5% for its small-cap benchmark. On both an NAV and market price basis, FUND outperformed the Russell 2000 for the three-, five-, 10-year and since inception of Royce’s management (11/1/96) periods ended 12/31/06. The Fund’s average annual NAV total return since the inception of our management was 14.4%.      The Industrial Products, Natural Resources and Technology sectors led the way for the year as a whole in dollar-based net gains. Net losses at the individual company level were relatively modest, however disappointing. Multi-business holding company BB Holdings spun off a subsidiary that trades in the U.S., but the prospect of its own domestic de-listing sent investors fleeing. Its stock continues to trade in London, and we added to our stake during May and June. Canadian energy services company Trican Well Service manufactures piping and drilling equipment and provides oil well completion, maintenance and repair services. Its share price hit an all-time high early in 2006 and was mostly on a downward slide through the rest of the year, even as it continued to post solid earnings. After trimming our position between early 2005 and February 2006, we began to purchase shares at what we judged to be attractive prices during All performance information in this Report reflects past performance, is presented on a total return basis and reflects the reinvestment of distributions.

Performance and Portfolio Review

		July and October. Orchid Cellmark has a dominant position in DNA testing, a promising niche business that we liked a great deal. However, it struggled with losses and meeting new regulations and the resulting accounting difficulties left us with enough uncertainty about the firm’s future prospects to sell our position in August.      Within Industrial Products, several holdings posted impressive net gains. Top-ten holding Harris Steel Group processes, fabricates and installs steel products. Its price began to rise in November with news of a second consecutive quarter of better-than-expected earnings followed by the announcement of Harris being acquired by a competitor in December. After correcting between May and early September, the share price of scrap metal recycling services company Metal Management showed new life, helped in part by strong earnings. In the Natural Resources sector, several precious metals and mining companies overcame their own stock price corrections to end the year on a high note. Six of the Fund’s 20 top-gaining stocks on a dollar basis came from the precious metals and mining group in 2006, including Silver Standard Resources and Glamis Gold. At year-end, our take on the long-term prospects for both energy and precious metals stocks remained positive. We have chosen to act opportunistically, occasionally buying on dips and at times trimming on upticks, our eyes focused firmly on the long view.	PORTFOLIO DIAGNOSTICS

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT AND CASH PURCHASE OPTIONS

Why should I reinvest my distributions?
By reinvesting distributions, a stockholder can maintain an undiluted investment in the Fund. The regular reinvestment of distributions has a significant impact on stockholder returns. In contrast, the stockholder who takes distributions in cash is penalized when shares are issued below net asset value to other stockholders.

How does the reinvestment of distributions from the Royce closed-end funds work?
The Funds automatically issue shares in payment of distributions unless you indicate otherwise. The shares are generally issued at the lower of the market price or net asset value on the valuation date.

How does this apply to registered stockholders?
If your shares are registered directly with a Fund, your distributions are automatically reinvested unless you have otherwise instructed the Funds’ transfer agent, Computershare, in writing. A registered stockholder also has the option to receive the distribution in the form of a stock certificate or in cash if Computershare is properly notified.

What if my shares are held by a brokerage firm or a bank?
If your shares are held by a brokerage firm, bank, or other intermediary as the stockholder of record, you should contact your brokerage firm or bank to be certain that it is automatically reinvesting distributions on your behalf. If they are unable to reinvest distributions on your behalf, you should have your shares registered in your name in order to participate.

What other features are available for registered stockholders?
The Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plans also allow registered stockholders to make optional cash purchases of shares of a Fund’s common stock directly through Computershare on a monthly basis, and to deposit certificates representing your Fund shares with Computershare for safekeeping. The Funds’ investment adviser is absorbing all commissions on optional cash purchases under the Plans through December 31, 2006.

How do the Plans work for registered stockholders?
Computershare maintains the accounts for registered stockholders in the Plans and sends written confirmation of all transactions in the account. Shares in the account of each participant will be held by Computershare in non-certificated form in the name of the participant, and each participant will be able to vote those shares at a stockholder meeting or by proxy. A participant may also send other stock certificates held by them to Computershare to be held in non-certificated form. There is no service fee charged to participants for reinvesting distributions. If a participant elects to sell shares from a Plan account, Computershare will deduct a $2.50 fee plus brokerage commissions from the sale transaction. If a nominee is the registered owner of your shares, the nominee will maintain the accounts on your behalf.

How can I get more information on the Plans?
You can call an Investor Services Representative at (800) 221-4268 or you can request a copy of the Plan for your Fund from Computershare. All correspondence (including notifications) should be directed to: [Name of Fund] Distribution Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan, c/o Computershare, PO Box 43010, Providence, RI 02940-3010, telephone (800) 426-5523.

Net Asset Value Total Return is calculated on the same basis, except that the Fund’s net asset value is used on the purchase and sale dates instead of market value.
(b)	Expense ratios based on total average net assets including liquidation value of Preferred Stock were 1.08%, 1.22%, 1.21%, 1.19% and 1.38% for the periods ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
(c)	Expense ratios based on average net assets applicable to Common Stockholders before waiver of fees by the investment adviser would have been 1.62% and 1.82% for the periods ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
(d)	The management fee is calculated based on average net assets over a rolling 60-month basis, while the above ratios of Management Fee expenses are based on the average net assets applicable to Common Stockholders over a 12-month basis.
(e)	The average of month-end market values during the period that the Preferred Stock was outstanding.

ROYCE VALUE TRUST DECEMBER 31, 2006

   Notes to Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
      Royce Value Trust, Inc. (“the Fund”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on July 1, 1986 as a diversified closed-end investment company. The Fund commenced operations on November 26, 1986.
      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 those estimates.

Valuation of Investments:
      Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities traded on Nasdaq’s Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last r eported sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their bid price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their highest bid price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value under procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued by reference to other securities with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent pricing services. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.

Foreign Currency:
      The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations which result from changes in foreign exchange rates on invest ments from the portion arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments.
      Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, expiration of currency forward contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal year end, as a result of changes in the exchange rates.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income:
      Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and any non-cash dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes. Expenses:
      The Fund incurs direct and indirect expenses. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund’s operations, while expenses applicable to more than one of the Royce Funds are allocated in an equitable manner. Allocated personnel and occupancy costs related to The Royce Funds are included in administrative and office facilities expenses. The Fund has adopted a deferred fee agreement that allows the Fund’s Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Directors’ Fees otherwise payable. The deferred fees are invested in certain Royce Funds until distributed in accordance with the agreement.

Compensating Balance Credits:
       The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments.

Taxes:
      As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption “Income Tax Information”.

Distributions:
      The Fund currently has a policy of paying quarterly distributions on the Fund’ s Common Stock. Distributions are currently being made at the annual rate of 9% of the rolling average of the prior four calendar quarter-end NAVs of the Fund’s Common Stock, with the fourth quarter distribution being the greater of 2.25% of the rolling average or the distribution required by IRS regulations. Distributions to Preferred Stockholders are accrued daily and paid quarterly and distributions to Common Stockholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund is required to allocate long-term capital gain distributions and other types of income proportionately to distributions made to holders of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. To the extent that distributions are not paid from long-term capital gains, net investment income or net short-term capital gains, they will represent a return of capital. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent book and tax ba sis differences relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the capital accounts. Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences, which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining undistributed at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

Repurchase Agreements:
      The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund

2006 ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS  |  31

ROYCE VALUE TRUST

   Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of the underlying securities.

Securities Lending:
      The Fund loans securities to qualified institutional investors for the purpose of realizing additional income. Collateral on all securities loaned for the Fund is accepted in cash and cash equivalents and invested temporarily by the custodian. The collateral is equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
      On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required to be implemented no later than the Fund’s June 29, 2007 NAV calculation and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
      On September 15, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the potential effect of these fair valuations on an entity’s financial performance. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair valuation methods and applications. Adoption of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard is not expected to materially impact the Fund’s financial statements.

Capital Stock:
      The Fund issued 2,548,023 and 2,294,908 shares of Common Stock as reinvestment of distributions by Common Stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
      At December 31, 2006, 8,800,000 shares of 5.90% Cumulative Preferred Stock were outstanding. Commencing October 9, 2008 and thereafter, the Fund, at its option, may redeem the Cumulative Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at the redemption price. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity (net assets applicable to Common Stockholders) in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, that requires preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity to the extent that the redemption is at a fixed or determinable price and at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer.
      The Fund is required to meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as required by the 1940 Act. In addition, pursuant to the Rating Agency Guidelines estab lished by Moody’s, the Fund is required to maintain a certain discounted asset coverage. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full, the Cumulative Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared on such shares, in order to meet these requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage requirements could restrict the Fund’s ability to pay dividends to Common Stockholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The Fund has met these requirements since issuing the Cumulative Preferred Stock.

Investment Advisory Agreement:
      As compensation for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, Royce & Associates, LL C (“Royce”) receives a fee comprised of a Basic Fee (“Basic Fee”) and an adjustment to the Basic Fee based on the investment performance of the Fund in relation to the investment record of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index (“S&P 600”).
      The Basic Fee is a monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% on an annualized basis) of the average of the Fund’s month-end net assets applicable to Common Stockholders, plus the liquidation value of Preferred Stock, for the rolling 60-month period ending with such month (the “performance period”). The Basic Fee for each month is increased or decreased at the rate of 1/12 of .05% for each percentage point that the investment performance of the Fund exceeds, or is exceeded by, the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 for the performance period by more than two percentage points. The performance period for each such month is a rolling 60-month period ending with such month. The maximum in crease or decrease in the Basic Fee for any month may not exceed 1/12 of .5%. Accordingly, for each month, the maximum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of 1.5% and is payable if the investment performance of the Fund exceeds the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period, and the minimum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of .5% and is payable if the percentage change in the investment record of the S&P 600 exceeds the investment performance of the Fund by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period.

32  |  2006 ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS

DECEMBER 31, 2006

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, Royce is not entitled to receive any fee for any month when the investment performance of the Fund for the rolling 36-month period ending with such month is negative. In the event that the Fund’s investment performance for such a performance period is less than zero, Royce will not be required to refund to the Fund any fee earned in respect of any prior performance period.
      Royce has voluntarily committed to waive the portion of its investment advisory fee attributable to an issue of the Fund’s Preferred Stock for any month in which the Fund’s average annual NAV total return since issuance of the Preferred Stock fails to exceed the applicable Preferred Stock’s dividend rate.
      For the twelve rolling 60-month periods ending December 2006, the investment performance of the Fund exceeded the investment performance of the S&P 600 by 4% to 12%. Accordingly, the investment advisory fee consisted of a Basic Fee of $10,218,393 and an upward adjustment of $3,183,037 for performance of the Fund above that of the S&P 600. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund accrued and paid Royce advisory fees totaling $13,401,430.

Distributions to Stockholders:
      The tax character of distributions paid to stockholders during 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:		2006		2005
Ordinary income	$	24,577,545	$	11,811,731
Long-term capital gain		87,494,797		86,948,561
	$	112,072,342	$	98,760,292

      As of December 31, 2006, the tax basis components of distributable earnings included in stockholders’ equity were as follows:

Undistributed long-term capital gain	$	14,955,604
Unrealized appreciation		450,766,439
Post October currency loss*		(41,513	)
Accrued preferred distributions		(288,449	)
	$	465,392,081

     *Under current tax law, capital and currency losses realized after October 31, and prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end, may be deferred as occurring on the first day of the following year.

     The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral on wash sales and the unrealized gains on investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies.

     For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts and distributions to stockholders are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book / tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Fund, timing differences and different characterization of distributions made by the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund recorded the following permanent reclassifications, which relate primarily to the current net operating losses. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Undistributed	Accumulated
Net Investment	Net Realized	Paid-in
Income	Gain (Loss)	Capital
$(114,502)	$(417,617)	$532,119

Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:

     For the year ended December 31, 2006, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and collateral received for securities loaned, amounted to $246,066,275 and $259,146,868, respectively.

Transactions in Shares of Affiliated Companies:

     An “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, is a company in which a Fund owns 5% or more of the company’s outstanding voting securities at any time during the period. The Fund effected the following transactions in shares of such companies during the year ended December 31, 2006:

	Shares		Market Value		Cost of		Cost of		Realized		Dividend		Shares		Market Value
Affiliated Company	12/31/05		12/31/05		Purchases		Sales		Gain (Loss)		Income		12/31/06		12/31/06
Peerless Manufacturing**		158,600	$	2,775,500		–	$	38,275	$	206,529		–
Synalloy Corporation		345,000		3,610,080		–		–		–		–		345,000	$	6,361,800

ROYCE VALUE TRUST

   Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Royce Value Trust, Inc.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Royce Value Trust, Inc. (“ Fund”) including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in 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. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s 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 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006 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 Royce Value Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, 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.

ROYCE MICRO-CAP TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
    Royce Micro-Cap Trust, Inc. (“the Fund”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland on September 9, 1993 as a diversified closed-end investment company. The Fund commenced operations on December 14, 1993.
    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 those estimates.

Valuation of Investments:
    Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities traded on Nasdaq’s Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their bid price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their highest bid price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value under procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued by reference to other securities with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent pricing services. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.

Foreign Currency:
    The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations which result from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the portion arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments.
    Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, expiration of currency forward contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal year end, as a result of changes in the exchange rates.

Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income:
    Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and any non-cash dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Premium and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method. Realized gains and losses from     investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes.

Expenses:
    The Fund incurs direct and indirect expenses. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund’s operations, while expenses applicable to more than one of the Royce Funds are allocated in an equitable manner. Allocated personnel and occupancy costs related to The Royce Funds are included in administrative and office facilities expenses. The Fund has adopted a deferred fee agreement that allows the Fund’s Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Directors’ Fees otherwise payable. The deferred fees are invested in certain Royce Funds until distributed in accordance with the agreement.

Compensating Balance Credits:
    The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments.

Taxes:
    As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption “Income Tax Information”.

Distributions:
    The Fund currently has a policy of paying quarterly distributions on the Fund’s Common Stock. Distributions are currently being made at the annual rate of 9% of the rolling average of the prior four calendar quarter-end NAVs of the Fund’s Common Stock, with the fourth quarter distribution being the greater of 2.25% of the rolling average or the distribution required by IRS regulations. Distributions to Preferred Stockholders are accrued daily and paid quarterly and distributions to Common Stockholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund is required to allocate long-term capital gain distributions and other types of income proportionately to distributions made to holders of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. To the extent that distributions are not paid from long-term capital gains, net investment income or net short-term capital gains, they will represent a return of capital. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the capital accounts. Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences, which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining undistributed at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

Repurchase Agreements:
    The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than

46  |  2006 ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS

DECEMBER 31, 2006

seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of the underlying securities.

Securities Lending:
    The Fund loans securities to qualified institutional investors for the purpose of realizing additional income. Collateral on all securities loaned for the Fund is accepted in cash and cash equivalents and invested temporarily by the custodian. The collateral is equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
    On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required to be implemented no later than the Fund’s June 29, 2007 NAV calculation and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
    On September 15, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the potential effect of these fair valuations on an entity’s financial performance. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair valuation methods and applications. Adoption of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard is not expected to materially impact the Fund’s financial statements.

Capital Stock:
    The Fund issued 1,401,367 and 1,625,665 shares of Common Stock as reinvestment of distributions by Common Stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
    At December 31, 2006, 2,400,000 shares of 6.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock were outstanding. Commencing October 16, 2008 and thereafter, the Fund, at its option, may redeem the Cumulative Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at the redemption price. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity (net assets applicable to Common Stockholders) in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, that requires preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity to the extent that the redemption is at a fixed or determinable price and at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer.
     The Fund is required to meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as required by the 1940 Act. In addition, pursuant to the Rating Agency Guidelines established by Moody’s, the Fund is required to maintain a certain discounted asset coverage. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full, the Cumulative Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared on such shares, in order to meet these requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage requirements could restrict the Fund’s ability to pay dividends to Common Stockholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The Fund has met these requirements since issuing the Cumulative Preferred Stock.

Investment Advisory Agreement:
    As compensation for its services under the Investment Advisory Agreement, Royce & Associates, LLC (“Royce”) receives a fee comprised of a Basic Fee (“Basic Fee”) and an adjustment to the Basic Fee based on the investment performance of the Fund in relation to the investment record of the Russell 2000.
     The Basic Fee is a monthly fee equal to 1/12 of 1% (1% on an annualized basis) of the average of the Fund’s month-end net assets applicable to Common Stockholders, plus the liquidation value of Preferred Stock, for the rolling 36-month period ending with such month (the “performance period”). The Basic Fee for each month is increased or decreased at the rate of 1/12 of 05% for each percentage point that the investment performance of the Fund exceeds, or is exceeded by, the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 for the performance period by more than two percentage points. The performance period for each such month is a rolling 36-month period ending with such month. The maximum increase or decrease in the Basic Fee for any month may not exceed 1/12 of 5%. Accordingly, for each month, the maximum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of 1.5% and is payable if the investment performance of the Fund exceeds the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period, and the minimum monthly fee rate as adjusted for performance is 1/12 of 5% and is payable if the percentage change in the investment record of the Russell 2000 exceeds the investment performance of the Fund by 12 or more percentage points for the performance period.
    Royce has voluntarily committed to waive the portion of its investment advisory fee attributable to an issue of the Fund’s Preferred Stock for any

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

month in which the Fund’s average annual NAV total return since issuance of the Preferred Stock fails to exceed the applicable Preferred Stock’s dividend rate.
     For the twelve rolling 36-month periods ending December 2006, the investment performance of the Fund exceeded the investment performance of the Russell 2000 by 7% to 29%. Accordingly, the investment advisory fee consisted of a Basic Fee of $3,369,094 and an upward adjustment of $1,464,882 for performance of the Fund above that of the Russell 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund accrued and paid Royce advisory fees totaling $4,833,976.

Distributions to Stockholders:
    The tax character of distributions paid to stockholders during 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:	2006			2005
Ordinary income		$	12,220,932		$	4,022,315
Long-term capital gain			26,089,199			38,030,585
		$	38,310,131		$	42,052,900

     As of December 31, 2006, the tax basis components of distributable earnings included in stockholders’ equity were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income	$	2,577,694
Undistributed long-term capital gain		6,194,696
Unrealized appreciation		130,704,938
Post October currency loss*		(1,180	)
Accrued preferred distributions		(80,000	)
	$	139,396,148

* Under current tax law, capital and currency losses realized after October 31, and prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end, may be deferred as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year.

     The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral on wash sales and the unrealized gains on investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies.

     For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts and distributions to stockholders are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book / tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Fund, timing differences and different characterization of distributions made by the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund recorded the following permanent reclassifications, which relate primarily to the current net operating losses. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Undistributed	Accumulated
Net Investment	Net Realized		Paid-in
Income	Gain (Loss)		Capital
$2,168,705	$(2,082,796)	$	(85,909)

Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:

     For the year ended December 31, 2006, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and collateral received for securities loaned, amounted to $117,114,561 and $122,279,205, respectively.

Transactions in Shares of Affiliated Companies:

     An “Affiliated Company”, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, is a company in which a Fund owns 5% or more of the company’s outstanding voting securities at any time during the period. The Fund effected the following transactions in shares of such companies during the year ended December 31, 2006:

	Shares		Market Value			Cost of			Cost of			Realized				Dividend			Shares		Market Value
Affiliated Company	12/31/05		12/31/05			Purchases			Sales			Gain (Loss)				Income			12/31/06		12/31/06

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Royce Micro – Cap Trust, Inc.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Royce Micro - Cap Trust, Inc. (“Fund”) including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in 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. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s 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 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006 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 Royce Micro - Cap Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, 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.

ROYCE FOCUS TRUST

Notes to Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Royce Focus Trust, Inc. (“the Fund”) is a diversified closed-end investment company. The Fund commenced operations on March 2, 1988 and Royce & Associates, LLC (“Royce”) assumed investment management responsibility for the Fund on November 1, 1996. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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 those estimates.
Valuation of Investments:
Securities are valued as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the valuation date. Securities that trade on an exchange, and securities traded on Nasdaq’s Electronic Bulletin Board, are valued at their last reported sales price or Nasdaq official closing price taken from the primary market in which each security trades or, if no sale is reported for such day, at their bid price. Other over-the-counter securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at their highest bid price. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value under procedures established by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Bonds and other fixed income securities may be valued by reference to other securities with comparable ratings, interest rates and maturities, using established independent pricing services. Investments in money market funds are valued at net asset value per share.
Foreign Currency:
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations which result from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the portion arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, expiration of currency forward contracts, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal year end, as a result of changes in the exchange rates.
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income:
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and any non-cash dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
Premium and discounts on debt securities are amortized using the effective yield to maturity method. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost for book and tax purposes.

Expenses:
The Fund incurs direct and indirect expenses. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund��s operations, while expenses applicable to more than one of the Royce Funds are allocated in an equitable manner. Allocated personnel and occupancy costs related to The Royce Funds are included in administrative and office facilities expenses. The Fund has adopted a deferred fee agreement that allows the Fund’s Directors to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Directors’ Fees otherwise payable. The deferred fees are invested in certain Royce Funds until distributed in accordance with the agreement.
Compensating Balance Credits:
The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on the Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments.
Taxes:
As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent that it distributes substantially all of its taxable income for its fiscal year. The Schedule of Investments includes information regarding income taxes under the caption “Income Tax Information”.
Distributions: The Fund currently has a policy of paying quarterly distributions on the Fund’s Common Stock. Distributions are currently being made at the annual rate of 5% of the rolling average of the prior four calendar quarter-end NAVs of the Fund’s Common Stock, with the fourth quarter distribution being the greater of 1.25% of the rolling average or the distribution required by IRS regulations. Distributions to Preferred Stockholders are accrued daily and paid quarterly and distributions to Common Stockholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. The Fund is required to allocate long-term capital gain distributions and other types of income proportionately to distributions made to holders of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock. To the extent that distributions are not paid from long-term capital gains, net investment income or net short-term capital gains, they will represent a return of capital. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications within the capital accounts. Undistributed net investment income may include temporary book and tax basis differences, which will reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining undistributed at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.

DECEMBER 31, 2006

Repurchase Agreements:
The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that the Fund’s investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. The Fund restricts repurchase agreements to maturities of no more than seven days. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements, which are held until maturity of the repurchase agreements, are marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counter-party, including possible delays or restrictions upon the ability of the Fund to dispose of the underlying securities.
Securities Lending:
The Fund loans securities to qualified institutional investors for the purpose of realizing additional income. Collateral on all securities loaned for the Fund is accepted in cash and cash equivalents and invested temporarily by the custodian. The collateral is equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of business of the Fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day.
New Accounting Pronouncements:
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) released FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required to be implemented no later than the Fund’s June 29, 2007 NAV calculation and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“FAS 157”) which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard requires companies to provide expanded information about the assets and liabilities measured at fair value and the potential effect of these fair valuations on an entity’s financial performance. The standard does not expand the use of fair value in any
new circumstances, but provides clarification on acceptable fair valuation methods and applications. Adoption of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The standard is not expected to materially impact the Fund’s financial statements.

Capital Stock:
The Fund issued 1,587,885 and 1,191,399 shares of Common Stock as reinvestment of distributions by Common Stockholders for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. On June 10, 2005, the Fund completed a rights offering of Common Stock to its stockholders at the rate of one common share for each 5 rights held by stockholders of record on May 6, 2005. The rights offering was fully subscribed, resulting in the issuance of 2,627,397 common shares at a price of $8.34, and proceeds of $21,912,491 to the Fund prior to the deduction of expenses of $152,119. The net asset value per share of the Fund’s Common Stock was reduced by approximately $0.13 per share as a result of the issuance. At December 31, 2006, 1,000,000 shares of 6.00% Cumulative Preferred Stock were outstanding. Commencing October 17, 2008 and thereafter, the Fund, at its option, may redeem the Cumulative Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at the redemption price. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is classified outside of permanent equity (net assets applicable to Common Stockholders) in the accompanying financial statements in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, that requires preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets to be classified outside of permanent equity to the extent that the redemption is at a fixed or determinable price and at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. The Fund is required to meet certain asset coverage tests with respect to the Cumulative Preferred Stock as required by the 1940 Act. In addition, pursuant to the Rating Agency Guidelines established by Moody’s, the Fund is required to maintain a certain discounted asset coverage. If the Fund fails to meet these requirements and does not correct such failure, the Fund may be required to redeem, in part or in full, the Cumulative Preferred Stock at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends, whether or not declared on such shares, in order to meet these requirements. Additionally, failure to meet the foregoing asset coverage requirements could restrict the Fund’s ability to pay dividends to Common Stockholders and could lead to sales of portfolio securities at inopportune times. The Fund has met these requirements since issuing the Cumulative Preferred Stock.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Investment Advisory Agreement:

The Investment Advisory Agreement between Royce and the Fund provides for fees to be paid at an annual rate of 1.0% of the Fund’s average daily net assets applicable to Common Stockholders plus the liquidation value of Preferred Stock. Royce has voluntarily committed to waive the portion of its investment advisory fee attributable to an issue of the Fund’s Preferred Stock for any month in which the Fund’s average annual NAV total return since issuance of the Preferred Stock fails to exceed the applicable Preferred Stock’s dividend rate. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund accrued and paid Royce advisory fees totaling $1,786,912.

Distributions to Stockholders: The tax character of distributions paid to stockholders during 2006 and 2005 was as follows:

Distributions paid from:		2006		2005
Ordinary income	$	4,915,975	$	1,682,395
Long-term capital gain		20,152,741		15,806,112
	$	25,068,716	$	17,488,507

As of December 31, 2006, the tax basis components of distributable earnings included in stockholders’ equity were as follows:

Undistributed net investment income	$	2,400,890
Undistributed long-term capital gain		2,432,323
Unrealized appreciation		45,802,101
Post October currency loss*		(60,095	)
Accrued preferred distributions		(33,333	)
	$	50,541,886

*Under current tax law, capital and currency losses realized after October 31, and prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end, may be deferred as occurring on the first day of the following year.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral on wash sales and the unrealized gains on investments in Passive Foreign Investment Companies.

For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts and distributions to stockholders are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book / tax differences. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities and foreign currency transactions held by the Fund, timing differences and different characterization of distributions made by the Fund. For the year ended December 31, 2006, the Fund recorded the following permanent reclassifications, which relate primarily to the current net operating losses. Results of operations and net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.

Undistributed	Accumulated
Net Investment	Net Realized	Paid-in
Income	Gain (Loss)	Capital
$308,520	$(308,520)	$–

Purchases and Sales of Investment Securities:

For the year ended December 31, 2006, the cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities, other than short-term securities and collateral received for securities loaned, amounted to $44,695,025 and $69,675,911, respectively.

ROYCE FOCUS TRUST

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Royce Focus Trust, Inc.
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Royce Focus Trust, Inc. (“Fund”) including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in 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. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s 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 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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its 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 Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian. 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 Royce Focus Trust, Inc. as of December 31, 2006, 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.

2006 ANNUAL REPORT TO STOCKHOLDERS  |  61

The RoyceFunds Wealth Of Experience With approximately $28.2 billion in open- and closed-end fund assets under management, Royce & Associates is committed to the same small-company investing principles that have served us well for more than 30 years. Charles M. Royce, our Chief Investment Officer, enjoys one of the longest tenures of any active mutual fund manager. Royce’s investment staff includes six other Portfolio Managers, as well as eight assistant portfolio managers and analysts, and six traders. Multiple Funds, Common Focus Our goal is to offer both individual and institutional investors the best available small-cap value portfolios. Unlike a lot of mutual fund groups with broad product offerings, we have chosen to concentrate on small-company value investing by providing investors with a range of funds that take full advantage of this large and diverse sector. Consistent Discipline Our approach emphasizes paying close attention to risk and maintaining the same discipline, regardless of market movements and trends. The price we pay for a security must be significantly below our appraisal of its current worth. This requires a thorough analysis of the financial and business dynamics of an enterprise, as though we were purchasing the entire company. Co-Ownership Of Funds It is important that our employees and shareholders share a common financial goal; our officers, employees and their families currently have approximately $113 million invested in The Royce Funds.

(e)(1)     Annual Pre-Approval: On an annual basis, the Registrant’s independent auditor submits to the Audit Committee a schedule of proposed audit, audit-related, tax and other non-audit services to be rendered to the Registrant and/or investment adviser(s) for the following year that require pre-approval by the Audit Committee. This schedule provides a description of each type of service that is expected to require pre-approval and the maximum fees that can be paid for each such service without further Audit Committee approval. The Audit Committee then reviews and determines whether to approve the types of scheduled services and the projected fees for them. Any subsequent revision to already pre-approved services or fees (including fee increases) are presented for consideration at the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, as needed.

            If subsequent to the annual pre-approval of services and fees by the Audit Committee, the Registrant or one of its affiliates determines that it would like to engage the Registrant’s independent auditor to perform a service not already pre-approved, the request is to be submitted to the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer, and if he or she determines that the service fits within the independence guidelines (e.g., it is not a prohibited service), he or she will then arrange for a discussion of the proposed service and fee to be included on the agenda for the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting so that pre-approval can be considered.

            Interim Pre-Approval: If, in the judgment of the Registrant’s Chief Financial Officer, a proposed engagement needs to commence before the next regularly scheduled Audit Committee meeting, he or she shall submit a written summary of the proposed engagement to all members of the Audit Committee, outlining the services, the estimated maximum cost, the category of the services (e.g., audit, audit-related, tax or other) and the rationale for engaging the Registrant’s independent auditor to perform the services.

Royce & Associates Proxy Voting Guidelines and Procedures

These procedures apply to Royce & Associates, LLC (“Royce”) and all funds and other client accounts for which it is responsible for voting proxies, including all open and closed-end registered investment companies (“The Royce Funds”), limited partnerships, limited liability companies, separate accounts, other accounts for which it acts as investment adviser and any accounts for which it acts as sub-adviser that have directly or indirectly delegated proxy voting authority to Royce. The Boards of Trustees/Directors of The Royce Funds (the “Boards” have delegated all proxy voting decisions to Royce, and in the case of Royce Technology Value Fund, to JHC Capital Management subject to these policies and procedures.

Receipt of Proxy Material. Under the continuous oversight of the Head of Administration or his designee is responsible for monitoring receipt of all proxies and ensuring that proxies are received for all securities for which Royce has proxy voting responsibility. All proxy materials are logged in upon receipt by Royce’s Librarian

Voting of Proxies. Once proxy material has been logged in by Royce’s Librarian, it is then promptly reviewed by the designated Administrative Assistant to evaluate the issues presented. Regularly recurring matters are usually voted as recommended by the issuer’s board of directors or “management.” The Head of Administration or his designee, in consultation with the Chief Investment Officer, develops and updates a list of matters Royce treats as “regularly recurring” and is responsible for ensuring that the designated Administrative Assistant has an up-to-date list of these matters at all times, including instructions from Royce’s Chief Investment Officer on how to vote on those matters on behalf of Royce clients. Examples of “regularly recurring” matters include non-contested elections of directors and non-contested approval of independent auditors. Non-“regularly recurring” matters are brought to the attention of the portfolio manager(s) for the account(s) involved by the designated Administrative Assistant, and, after giving some consideration to advisories from “Proxy Master” (a service provided by Institutional Shareholder Services), the portfolio manager directs that such matters be voted in a way that he or she believes should better protect or enhance the value of the investment. If the portfolio manager determines that information concerning any proxy requires analysis, is missing or incomplete, he or she then gives the proxy to an analyst or another portfolio manager for review and analysis.

a.	From time to time, it is possible that one Royce portfolio manager will decide (i) to vote shares held in client accounts he or she manages differently from the vote of another Royce portfolio manager whose client accounts hold the same security or (ii) to abstain from voting on behalf of client accounts he or she manages when another Royce portfolio manager is casting votes on behalf of other Royce client accounts.
	The designated Administrative Assistant reviews all proxy votes collected from Royce’s portfolio managers prior to such votes being cast. If any difference exists among the voting instructions given by Royce’s portfolio managers, as described above, the designated Administrative Assistant then presents these proposed votes to the Head of Administration or his designee and the Chief Investment Officer. The Chief Investment Officer, after consulting with the relevant portfolio managers, either reconciles the votes or authorizes the casting of differing votes by different portfolio managers. The Head of Administration or his designee maintains a log of all votes for which different portfolio managers have cast differing votes, that describes the rationale for allowing such differing votes and contains the initials of both the Chief Investment Officer and Head of Administration or his designee allowing such differing votes. The Head of Administration or his designee performs a weekly review of all votes cast by Royce to confirm that any conflicting votes were properly handled in accordance with the above-described procedures.
b.	There are many circumstances that might cause Royce to vote against an issuer’s board of directors or “management” proposal. These would include, among others, excessive compensation, unusual management stock options, preferential voting and poison pills. The portfolio managers decide these issues on a case-by-case basis as described above.
c.	A portfolio manager may, on occasion, determine to abstain from voting a proxy or a specific proxy item when he or she concludes that the potential benefit of voting is outweighed by the cost, when it is not in the client account’s best interest to vote.
d.	When a client has authorized Royce to vote proxies on its behalf, Royce will generally not accept instructions from the clients regarding how to vote proxies.
e.	If a security is on loan under The Royce Funds’ Securities Lending Program with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“Loaned Securities”), the Head of Administration or his designee will recall the Loaned Securities and request that they be delivered within the customary settlement period after the notice, to permit the exercise of their voting rights if the number of shares of the security on loan would have a material effect on The Royce Funds’ voting power at the up-coming stockholder meeting. A material effect is defined as any case where the Loaned Securities are 1% or more of a class of a company’s outstanding equity securities. Monthly, the Head of Administration or his designee will review the summary of this activity by State Street. A quarterly report detailing any exceptions that occur in recalling Loaned Securities will be given to the Boards.

Custodian banks are authorized to release all shares held for Royce client account portfolios to Automated Data Processing Corporation (“ADP”) for voting, utilizing ADP’s “Proxy Edge” software system. Substantially all portfolio companies utilize ADP to collect their proxy votes. However, for the limited number of portfolio companies that do not utilize ADP, Royce attempts to register at least a portion of its clients holdings as a physical shareholder in order to ensure its receipt of a physical proxy.

Under the continuous oversight of the Head of Administration or his designee, the designated Administrative Assistant is responsible for voting all proxies in a timely manner. Votes are returned to ADP using Proxy Edge as ballots are received, generally two weeks before the scheduled meeting date. The issuer can thus see that the shares were voted, but the actual vote cast is not released to the company until 4pm on the day before the meeting. If proxies must be mailed, they go out at least ten business days before the meeting date.

Conflicts of Interest. The designated Administrative Assistant reviews reports generated by Royce’s portfolio management system (“Quest PMS”) that set forth by record date, any security held in a Royce client account which is issued by a (i) public company that is, or a known affiliate of which is, a separate account client of Royce (including sub-advisory relationships), (ii) public company, or a known affiliate of a public company, that has invested in a privately-offered pooled vehicle managed by Royce or (iii) public company, or a known affiliate of a public company, by which the spouse of a Royce employee or an immediate family member of a Royce employee living in the household of such employee is employed, for the purpose of identifying any potential proxy votes that could present a conflict of interest for Royce. The Head of Administration or his designee develops and updates the list of such public companies or their known affiliates which is used by Quest PMS to generate these daily reports. This list also contains information regarding the source of any potential conflict relating to such companies. Potential conflicts identified on the “conflicts reports” are brought to the attention of the Head of Administration or his designee by the designated Administrative Assistant, who then reviews them to determine if business or personal relationships exist between Royce, its officers, managers or employees and the company that could present a material conflict of interest. Any such identified material conflicts are voted by Royce in accordance with the recommendation given by an independent third party research firm (Institutional Shareholder Services). The Head of Administration or his designee maintains a log of all such conflicts identified, the analysis of the conflict and the vote ultimately cast. Each entry in this log is signed by the Chief Investment Officer before the relevant votes are cast.

Recordkeeping. A record of the issues and how they are voted is stored in the Proxy Edge system. Copies of all physically executed proxy cards, all proxy statements and any other documents created or reviewed that are material to making a decision on how to vote proxies are retained in the Company File maintained by Royce’s Librarian.

*Other accounts include all other accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager in either a professional or personal capacity except for personal accounts subject to pre-approval and reporting requirements under the Registrant’s Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics.

Conflicts of Interest

The fact that the Portfolio Manager has day-to-day management responsibility for more than one client account may create actual, potential or only apparent conflicts of interest. For example, the Portfolio Manager may have an opportunity to purchase securities of limited availability. In this circumstance, the Portfolio Manager is expected to review each account’s investment guidelines, restrictions, tax considerations, cash balances, liquidity needs and other factors to determine the suitability of the investment for each account and to ensure that his managed accounts are treated equitably. The Portfolio Manager may also decide to purchase or sell the same security for multiple managed accounts at approximately the same time. To address any conflicts that this situation may create, the Portfolio Manager will generally combine managed account orders (i.e., enter a “bunched” order) in an effort to obtain best execution or a more favorable commission rate. In addition, if orders to buy or sell a security for multiple accounts managed by the same Portfolio Manager on the same day are executed at different prices or commission rates, the transactions will generally be allocated by Royce to each of such managed accounts at the weighted average execution price and commission. In circumstances where a bunched order is not completely filled, each account will normally receive a pro-rated portion of the securities based upon the account’s level of participation in the order. Royce may under certain circumstances allocate securities in a manner other than pro-rata if it determines that the allocation is fair and equitable under the circumstances and does not discriminate against any account.

As described below, there is a revenue-based component of the Portfolio Manager’s Performance Bonus and the Portfolio Manager also receives a Firm Bonus based on revenues (adjusted for certain imputed expenses) generated by Royce. In addition, the Portfolio Manager receives a bonus based on Royce’s retained pre-tax profits from operations. As a result, the Portfolio Manager may receive a greater relative benefit from activities that increase the value to Royce of The Royce Funds and/or other Royce client accounts, including, but not limited to, increases in sales of the Registrant’s shares and assets under management.

Also, as described above, the Portfolio Manager generally manages more than one client account, including, among others, registered investment company accounts, separate accounts and private pooled accounts managed on behalf of institutions (e.g., pension funds, endowments and foundations) and for high-net-worth individuals. The appearance of a conflict of interest may arise where Royce has an incentive, such as a performance-based management fee (or any other variation in the level of fees payable by The Royce Funds or other Royce client accounts to Royce), which relates to the management of one or more of The Royce Funds or accounts with respect to which the Portfolio Manager has day-to-day management responsibilities. The Performance Bonus paid to the Portfolio Manager for two registered investment company accounts (the Registrant and RMT) is based, in part, on performance-based fee revenues. The Registrant and RMT pay Royce a fulcrum fee that is adjusted up or down depending on the performance of that Fund relative to its benchmark index. In addition, two other registered investment company accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager, Royce Select Fund I and Royce Select Fund II, each pay Royce a performance-based fee.

Finally, conflicts of interest may arise when the Portfolio Manager personally buys, holds or sells securities held or to be purchased or sold for the Registrant or other Royce client account or personally buys, holds or sells the shares of one or more of The Royce Funds. To address this, Royce has adopted a written Code of Ethics designed to prevent and detect personal trading activities that may interfere or conflict with client interests (including Registrant shareholders’ interests). Royce generally does not permit its Portfolio Managers to purchase small- or micro-cap securities in their personal investment portfolios.

Royce and The Royce Funds have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address the above-described types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.

(a)(3) Description of Portfolio Manager Compensation Structure (information as of December 31, 2006)

Royce seeks to maintain a compensation program that is competitively positioned to attract and retain high-caliber investment professionals. The Portfolio Manager receives from Royce a base salary, a Performance Bonus and a benefits package. The Portfolio Manager’s compensation is reviewed and may be modified from time to time as appropriate to reflect changes in the market, as well as to adjust the factors used to determine bonuses. The Portfolio Manager’s compensation consists of the following elements:

- BASE SALARY. The Portfolio Manager is paid a base salary. In setting the base salary, Royce seeks to be competitive in light of the Portfolio Manager’s experience and responsibilities.

- PERFORMANCE BONUS. The Portfolio Manager receives a quarterly Performance Bonus that is either asset-based. or revenue based and therefore in part based on the value of the accounts’ net assets, determined with reference to each of the registered investment company and other client accounts managed by him. The revenue used to determine the quarterly performance bonus received by the Portfolio Manager that relates to each of the Registrant and RMT are performance-based fee revenues. Except as described below, the Performance Bonus applicable to the registered investment company accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager is subject to upward or downward adjustment or elimination based on a combination of 3-year and 5-year risk-adjusted pre-tax returns of such accounts relative to all small-cap objective funds with three years of history tracked by Morningstar (as of December 31, 2006 there were 373 such Funds tracked by Morningstar) and the 5-year absolute returns of such accounts relative to 5-year U.S. Treasury Notes. The Performance Bonus applicable to non-registered investment company accounts managed by the Portfolio Manager, and to Royce Select Fund I and Royce Select Fund II, is not subject to a performance-related adjustment.

Payment of the Performance Bonus may be deferred as described below, and any amounts deferred are forfeitable, if the Portfolio Manager is terminated by Royce with or without cause or resigns. The amount of the deferred Performance Bonus will appreciate or depreciate during the deferral period, based on the total return performance of one or more Royce-managed registered investment company accounts selected by the Portfolio Manager at the beginning of the deferral period. The amount deferred will depend on the Portfolio Manager’s total direct, indirect beneficial and deferred unvested bonus investments in the Royce registered investment company account for which he or she is receiving portfolio management compensation.

- FIRM BONUS. The Portfolio Manager receives a quarterly bonus based on Royce’s net revenues.

- BENEFIT PACKAGE. The Portfolio Manager also receives benefits standard for all Royce employees, including health care and other insurance benefits, and participation in Royce’s 401(k) Plan and Money Purchase Pension Plan. From time to time, on a purely discretionary basis, the Portfolio Manager may also receive options to acquire stock in Royce’s parent company, Legg Mason, Inc. Those options typically represent a relatively small portion of a Portfolio Manager’s overall compensation.

The Portfolio Manager, in addition to the above-described compensation, also receives a bonus based on Royce’s retained pre-tax operating profit. This bonus, along with the Performance Bonus and Firm Bonus, generally represents the most significant element of the Portfolio Manager’s compensation. A portion of the above-described compensation payable to the Portfolio Manager relates to his responsibilities as Royce’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer and President of The Royce Funds.
