HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended September 30, 2024, the Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500 Index.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
U.S. equities gained for the 12 months ended September 30, 2024 driven by resilient corporate profits, extremely strong interest in generative artificial intelligence and the Federal Reserve’s beginning pivot to lower interest rates.
Against this backdrop, security selection was the primary contributor to the Fund’s performance versus the benchmark for the fiscal year, especially within semiconductors and semiconductor equipment. Also, helping our relative result was an underweight in household durables and oil, gas and consumable fuels.
The top individual contributor was an overweight in NVIDIA. The stock was the Fund’s biggest holding. Other notable contributors to performance were an overweight in Amazon, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Costco, CrowdStrike, Meta Platforms, and Netflix. Three other notable contributors to performance were an underweight in Alphabet, Apple, and Microsoft.
In contrast, detractors from performance were an overweight in hotels, restaurants and leisure and technology hardware, storage and peripherals.
Three of the biggest individual relative detractors from performance were an overweight in Airbnb, AutoZone, and Salesforce.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS?*
The $10,000 chart reflects a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the class of shares noted and assumes the maximum sales charge. The chart uses total return NAV performance and assumes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Fund expenses, including 12b-1 fees, management fees and other expenses were deducted.

| Registrant | $0 | $0 |
| Registrant’s Investment Adviser | 0 | 0 |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024
(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies —
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Reynolds Funds, Inc. (the “Company”), which is registered as a diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Act”), as amended. The Company consists of one fund: Reynolds Blue Chip Growth Fund (the “Fund”). The Company was incorporated under the laws of Maryland on April 28, 1988. The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The investment objective of the Fund is to produce long-term growth of capital by investing in a diversified portfolio of common stocks issued by well-established growth companies commonly referred to as “blue chip” companies, as defined in the Fund’s prospectus.
(a) The following is a summary of the Fund’s pricing procedures. It is intended to be a general discussion and may not necessarily reflect all pricing procedures followed by the Fund.
Each security, excluding short-term investments and money market funds, is valued at the last sale price reported by the principal security exchange on which the issue is traded (other than The Nasdaq OMX Group, Inc., referred to as “Nasdaq”), or if no sale is reported, the latest bid price. Securities which are traded on Nasdaq (including closed-end funds) under one of its three listing tiers, Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market and Nasdaq Capital Market, are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, or if no sale is reported, the latest bid price. Short-term investments with maturities of 60 days or less may be valued on an amortized cost basis to the extent it is equivalent to fair value, which involves valuing an instrument at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating rates on the fair value of the instrument. Amortized cost will not be used if its use would be inappropriate due to credit or other impairments of the issuer. Money market funds are valued at their net asset value per share. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the investment adviser as the valuation designee appointed by the Board of Directors (the “Board”), in accordance with fair value methodologies established and applied by the Reynolds Capital Management, LLC (the “Adviser”). The fair value of a security is the amount which the Fund might receive upon a current sale. The fair value of a security may differ from the last quoted price and the Fund may not be able to sell a security at the fair value. Market quotations may not be available, for example, if trading in particular securities was halted during the day and not resumed prior to the close of trading on the NYSE.
Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation approaches. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by generally requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:
Level 1 –
Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 –
Valuations based on quoted prices for similar securities or in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3 –
Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for further disaggregation of investment categories.
(b) Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis for financial reporting purposes. Net realized gains and losses on sales of securities are computed on the highest amortized cost basis.
(c) The Fund records dividend income on the ex-dividend date and interest income on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations.
(d) GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund had no permanent differences.
(e) The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
(f) No provision has been made for Federal income taxes since the Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all net investment company taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. The Fund may utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction.
(g) The Fund has reviewed all open tax years and major jurisdictions, which include Federal and the state of Maryland, and concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions that would require recognition in the financial statements as of and for the year ended September 30, 2024. Open tax years are those that are open for exam by taxing authorities and, as of September 30, 2024, open Federal tax years include the tax years ended September 30, 2021 through 2024. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund has no examinations in progress and is also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.
(h) The Fund’s cash is held in accounts with balances which may exceed the amount of related federal insurance. The Fund has not experienced any loss in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.
(i) Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. The Fund does not isolate the portion of realized gains or losses and unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on securities from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of securities, currency gains or losses realized

between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and 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.
(2) Investment Advisory Agreement and Transactions With Related Parties —
The Fund has an investment advisory agreement (the “agreement”) with the Adviser, to serve as investment adviser. The sole owner of the Adviser is Mr. Frederick L. Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds is also an officer and interested director of the Fund. Under the terms of the agreement, the Fund will pay the Adviser a monthly management fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the daily net assets of the Fund.
The agreement further stipulates that the Adviser will reimburse the Fund for all expenses exceeding an annual rate of 2.00% of its daily average net assets (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary items). The Fund is not obligated to reimburse the Adviser for any expenses reimbursed in previous fiscal years. The Adviser reimbursed expenses of $2,811 for the year ended September 30, 2024.
The Fund has engaged Northern Lights Compliance Services, LLC to provide compliance services including the appointment of the Reynolds Fund's Chief Compliance Officer. They are paid an annual fee of $28,720 for services provided.
The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Act. The Plan provides that the Fund may incur certain costs which may not exceed a maximum amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Payments made pursuant to the Plan may only be used to pay distribution expenses incurred in the current year, and may be less than the maximum amount allowed by the Plan.
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, each director, officer, employee or other agent of the Fund (including the Fund’s investment manager) is indemnified, to the extent permitted by the Act, against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and believes the risk of loss to be remote.
(3) Distributions to Shareholders —
Net investment income and net realized gains, if any, for the Fund are distributed to shareholders at least annually and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Please see Note 5 for more information.
(4) Investment Transactions —
For the year ended September 30, 2024, purchases and proceeds of sales of investment securities (excluding short-term securities) were $152,973,296 and $159,615,196, respectively. There were no purchases or sales of U.S. Government securities.
