For the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, the KEELEY Small Cap Value Fund (KSCVX) fell -1.90%, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2000 Index, which fell -3.09% during the third quarter. The Fund also outperformed the Russell 2000 Value Index, which fell -6.26% in the third quarter. Year-to-date, the portfolio rose 11.00% compared to a 3.16% rise for the Russell 2000 Index, and a -2.70% drop for the Russell 2000 Value Index. For the past several years, we have favored and overweighted the industrial and energy sectors while underweighting financial services. These sector weightings have made a positive contribution to investment results and have been a key factor in the excess return that we have generated for the portfolio over this period of time. During the most recent quarter, the portfolio continued to benefit from exposure in the industrial sector, as the Fund’s holdings in this area contributed 58 basis points of performance to the Fund. Other sectors that contributed positively to results were the materials and utilities sectors. Returns in the financials, energy, and consumer discretionary sectors were the largest detractors during the third quarter. The top two performing names in the Fund came from the industrials sector during the third quarter. Layne Christensen (LAYN) was the top performer, rising over 35% and contributing 35 basis points of return to the Fund. The drilling and construction services company grew second quarter earnings by 33%, driven by strong revenue growth in their energy, mineral exploration, and water infrastructure divisions. McDermott International (MDR) continued its impressive performance in 2007, rising over 30% and contributing 33 basis points of return to the portfolio in the third quarter. The energy services provider has now risen over 110% for the year, and with strong order backlogs and upward earnings revisions, the outlook remains positive. The materials sector also contributed positively to results in the third quarter. AMCOL International (ACO) was the best performer, rising over 21% and contributing 19 basis points of return to the Fund. The maker of specialty minerals is experiencing stronger sales and expanding margins in their environmental and oilfield services divisions.
While it is not our intention to have companies within the portfolio acquired, takeovers are a natural by-product of our investment philosophy. Since many opportunities within the corporate restructuring process are “pure-plays” on a single industry, our companies are inherently takeover prone. In 2006, we had 17 companies acquired at a premium price, and so far in 2007, 11 companies have been acquired or agreed to an acquisition. Recently, announced buyouts of savings bank TierOne (TONE) and laundry equipment maker Coinmach Service (DRA) helped boost returns in 2007. From a macroeconomic standpoint, volatility plagued the markets throughout the third quarter as tightening credit sent stocks sharply lower in July and August. In times of higher volatility, thoughtful stock selection becomes a critical aspect of producing strong returns and fortunately, there is a wealth of activity within our primary investment themes. Our research team continues to

be presented with an abundance of restructuring opportunities for our portfolios. We will continue to employ our unique investment process to identify compelling opportunities that we believe will unlock shareholder value.
Thank you for your continued commitment to the Fund.
Sincerely, |
|

KEELEY Small Cap Value Fund, Inc.
Expense Example
For the Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the KEELEY Small Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 (the “period”).
Actual Expenses
The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing the ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs could have been higher.
Expenses Paid During the Period
| | Beginning | | Ending | | Expenses paid during |
| | account value | | account value | | the period ended |
| | April 1, 2007 | | September 30, 2007 | | September 30, 2007* |
Actual | | $1,000.00 | | $1,066.30 | | $6.89 |
Hypothetical (5% return | | | | | | |
before expenses) | | 1,000.00 | | 1,018.40 | | 6.73 |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s expense ratio of 1.33% for the six month period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect one-half year period). |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
1. | | ORGANIZATION |
| | |
| | The KEELEY Small Cap Value Fund, Inc. ( the “Fund”) was incorporated on May 17, 1993 as a Maryland corporation and is registered as a diversified open-end investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”). |
| | |
2. | | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| | |
| | The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. |
| | |
| | a) Investment Valuation – Securities which are traded on a recognized stock exchange are valued at the last sale price each day on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sale price on a national securities exchange. Exchange-traded securities for which there were no transactions are valued at the current bid prices. Securities traded on only over-the-counter markets are valued on the basis of last sale price, or closing over-the-counter bid prices when there is no last sale price available. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued by a service that uses electronic data processing methods, avoiding exclusive reliance on exchange or over-the-counter prices. Debt securities purchased within 60 days of their stated maturity date are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. For each investment that is fair valued, if any, the Board of Directors considers, to the extent applicable, various factors including, but not limited to, the financial condition of the company, comparable companies in the public market, the nature and duration of the cause for a quotation not being readily available and other relevant factors. |
| | |
| | In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued its new Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 is designed to unify guidance for the measurement of fair value of all types of assets, including financial instruments, and certain liabilities, throughout a number of accounting standards. FAS 157 also establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements that are relevant to mutual funds. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and earlier adoption is permitted. At this time, management believes the adoption of FAS 157 will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Fund. |

| | b) Federal Income and Excise Taxes – It is the Fund’s policy to meet the requirements of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Fund. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. 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 as of the date of the last net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 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 to the Fund and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined. c) Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, will be declared and paid annually. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, will be declared and paid annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the characterization of certain income and realized gains determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. For the year ended September 30, 2007, the Fund increased undistributed net investment income by $24,730,497, increased accumulated net realized gain by $27,846 and decreased paid in capital by $24,758,343. These reclassifications between capital accounts were made for only those differences that are permanent in nature. d) Other – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Fund determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the identified original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis, including amortization/accretion of premiums or discounts using the effective interest method. e) Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote. |

3. | | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT |
|
| | The Fund has an agreement with Keeley Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and directors of the Fund are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Fund (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of this agreement, the Fund pays the Adviser a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the Fund’s first $1 billion and 0.90% in excess of $1 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, if the aggregate annual operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and other costs incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, and extraordinary items) exceed 2.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, the Adviser will reimburse the Fund for the amount of such excess expenses. Because the aggregate annual operating expenses did not exceed 2.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, the Adviser has not reimbursed the Fund in the current fiscal year, nor the prior three fiscal years. |

| | The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plan is designed to reimburse Keeley Investment Corp.

Unreimbursed amounts may be carried forward and paid in a subsequent year, to the extent that total expenses under the plan do not exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The Fund paid to the Distributor and each dealer a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Fund shares beneficially owned by the Distributor’s and each dealer’s existing brokerage clients. For the period from October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007, the Fund paid $10,689,983 in distribution fees, of which $624,757 was paid to the Distributor. |

Sales charges are not an expense of the Fund and are not reflected in the financial statements of the Fund. |

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS — |
KEELEY MID CAP VALUE FUND (KMCVX) |
Dear Shareholder,
During the past six months from March 31, 2007 through September 30, 2007, the Fund’s net assets grew from $64,761,421 to $108,571,966 and the number of shareholders grew from 2,632 to 4,278. For the six month period ending September 30, 2007, the portfolio turnover was 18.96% and the expense ratio was 1.47%. On August 15, 2007 Keeley Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) contractually agreed, effective October 1, 2007 to waive a portion of its fee or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the total ordinary operating expenses exceed 1.39%. This waiver will be in effect until September 30, 2008. The Fund’s portfolio is diversified with investments in 53 equities. As of September 30, 2007, the Keeley family beneficially owned 11.76% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Fund’s return was 1.22% versus a return of -3.55% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. For the six month period ended September 30, 2007, the Fund’s return was 14.31% versus -0.03% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. For the one year period ended September 30, 2007, the Fund’s return was 33.40% versus 13.75% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. Since inception, August 15, 2005, the Fund’s average annual return was 17.70% versus 12.82% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. Performance data does not reflect the deduction of the sales load or fee, and, if reflected, the load or fee would reduce the performance quoted.
Performance Data Including 4.5% Maximum Up-Front Sales Charge
For the quarter ended September 30, 2007, the Fund’s return was -3.34% versus a return of -3.55% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. For the six month period ended September 30, 2007, the Fund’s return was 9.16% versus -0.03% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. For the one year period ended September 30, 2007, the Fund’s return was 27.39% versus 13.75% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. Since inception, August 15, 2005, the Fund’s average annual return was 15.15% versus 12.82% for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and the current performance my be lower or higher than the performance data quoted.

The KEELEY Mid Cap Value Fund (KMCVX) outperformed its benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Value Index, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The portfolio rose 1.22% compared to a -3.55% decline for the benchmark. Year-to-date, the Fund has substantially outperformed its benchmark, rising 21.17% compared to a 4.83% increase for the Russell Mid Cap Value Index. The portfolio continued to benefit from exposure in the industrial sector, as the Fund’s holdings in this area were very strong, contributing 282 basis points of performance. Other sectors that contributed positively to results were the financials
20
and energy sectors. Returns in the materials and consumer discretionary sectors were the largest detractors during the third quarter. A number of the portfolio’s best stocks in the third quarter came from the industrial sector. The top performing position in the Fund was KBR Inc. (KBR), which rose 47% and contributed 86 basis points of return to the fund. The engineering and construction services company, which was spun-off from Halliburton in April, benefited from the sale of its stake in a British dockyard, and second quarter earnings rose 52%. McDermott International (MDR) was the second best performing industrial name as it continued its impressive performance in 2007, rising over 30% and contributing 74 basis points of return to the portfolio in the third quarter. The energy services provider has now risen over 110% for the year, and with strong order backlogs and upward earnings revisions, the outlook remains positive.
From a macroeconomic standpoint, volatility plagued the markets throughout the third quarter as tightening credit sent stocks sharply lower in July and August. In times of higher volatility, thoughtful stock selection becomes a critical aspect of producing strong returns and fortunately, there is a wealth of activity within our primary investment themes. Our research team continues to be presented with an abundance of restructuring opportunities for our portfolios. We will continue to employ our unique investment process to identify compelling opportunities that we believe will unlock shareholder value.
Thank you for your continued commitment to the Fund.
Sincerely, |

On August 15, 2007 the Adviser contractually agreed, effective October 1, 2007 to waive a portion of its fee or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the total ordinary operating expenses exceed 1.39%. This waiver will be in effect until September 30, 2008. The Fund’s portfolio is widely diversified with investments in 97 equities. As of September 30th, 2007, the Keeley family beneficially owned 15.38% of the Fund’s outstanding shares.

The KEELEY All Cap Value Fund (KACVX) slightly underperformed its benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index, for the quarter ended September 30, 2007. The portfolio declined -0.90% versus a -0.75% drop for the benchmark. Year-to-date, the Fund has substantially outperformed its benchmark, rising 17.13% compared to a 5.21% increase for the Russell 3000 Value Index. The portfolio continued to benefit from exposure in the industrial
23
sector, as the Fund’s holdings in this area contributed 140 basis points of performance to the portfolio. While stock selection was strong in the consumer discretionary sector, returns in that area were the largest detractor from the Fund’s performance in the third quarter. Returns from the industrial sector had the greatest positive impact on performance during the third quarter. L.B. Foster (FSTR) was the top performer, rising over 51% and adding 57 basis points of return to the Fund. Shares of the maker of rail and construction products rose sharply after second-quarter profit more than doubled. The firm also benefited from the announcement that the Canadian Pacific Railway reached an agreement to acquire the Dakota Minnesota and Eastern Railroad (“DM&E”) in which L.B. Foster holds a minority equity interest. KBR Inc. (KBR) was the second best performing industrial name, rising over 47% and contributing 46 basis points to the Fund. The engineering and construction services company, which was spun-off from Halliburton in April, benefited from the sale of its stake in a British dockyard, and second quarter earnings rose 52%. As mentioned previously, the largest detractor from performance during the third quarter was the consumer discretionary sector. However, stock selection in the sector was strong, and the single largest contributor to performance, Las Vegas Sands (LVS), came from this area. Dillard’s (DDS) was the weakest performing stock in the sector, falling 39% and detracting 48 basis points of performance from the Fund. The retailer saw same-store sales drop 5% in August and 7% in September. Houston Wire & Cable (HWCC) was the second largest detractor in the sector, dropping 31% and detracting 40 basis points of return from the portfolio. Although second quarter profits and sales rose, results for the cable and wire distributor were below Wall Street analysts’ expectations.
From a macroeconomic standpoint, volatility plagued the markets throughout the third quarter as tightening credit sent stocks sharply lower in July and August. In times of higher volatility, thoughtful stock selection becomes a critical aspect of producing strong returns and fortunately, there is a wealth of activity within our primary investment themes. Our research team continues to be presented with an abundance of restructuring opportunities for our portfolios. We will continue to employ our unique investment process to identify compelling opportunities that we believe will unlock shareholder value.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS — |
KEELEY SMALL-MID CAP VALUE FUND (KSMVX AND KSMIX) |
Dear Shareholder,
The KEELEY Small-Mid Cap Value Fund commenced operations on August 15, 2007. As of September 30, 2007, the Fund’s net assets were $4,780,416 and the fund had 93 shareholders. For the period ending September 30, 2007, the portfolio turnover was 0.91%. On August 15, 2007 Keeley Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”) contractually agreed to waive a portion of its fee or reimburse the Fund to the extent that the total ordinary operating expenses exceed 1.39% for the Class A shares and 1.14% for the Class I shares. This waiver will be in effect until September 30, 2009. The Fund’s portfolio is widely diversified with investments in 77 equities. As of September 30, 2007, the Keeley family beneficially owned 55.81% of the Fund’s Class A outstanding shares and 100% of the Fund’s Class I outstanding shares. In the first full month of its history, the Class A shares rose 6.42% and the Class I shares rose 6.31%, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which climbed 1.04% in September. Performance Data does not reflect the deduction of the sales load or fee, and that, if reflected, the load or fee would reduce the performance quoted.
Performance Data Including 4.5% Maximum Up-Front Sales Charge
In the first full month of its history, the Class A shares rose 1.63%, outperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Value Index, which climbed 1.04% in September. The Fund does not charge up-front sales charges for investments in Class I shares.
Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and the current performance my be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. You may call toll-free at 888-933-5391, or visit our website at www.keeleyfunds.com to obtain performance data current to the most recent month end.
The Small-Mid Cap Value Fund is the natural evolution of our highly successful KEELEY Small Cap Value Fund. With our patient, long-term approach to stock selection, we believe the added flexibility in market capitalization will be a strong complement to our other product offerings, specifically the Small Cap Value Fund. The Fund will be managed using the same corporate restructuring investment discipline as the firm’s highly-rated flagship product, the KEELEY Small Cap Value Fund (KSCVX), as well as the KEELEY Mid
26
Cap Value Fund (KMCVX) and KEELEY All Cap Value Fund (KACVX). The Fund will not concentrate on any specific sector or industry and primarily invest in small and mid-cap stocks with market capitalizations of $7.5 billion or less at the time of investment.
Sincerely, | |

Expense Example
For the Six Month Period Ended September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from April 1, 2007 to September 30, 2007 (the “period”) for the Mid Cap Value Fund and the All Cap Value Fund, and from August 15, 2007 (commencement of operations) to September 30, 2007 for the Small-Mid Cap Value Fund.
Actual Expenses
The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 equals 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during the period.
| | | | | CLASS A(1) | | | CLASS I |
| | | | | | | | | Expenses | | | | | | | Expenses |
| | Beginning | | | Ending | | Six-Month | | paid | | | Ending | | Six-Month | | paid |
| | account | | | account | | Expense | | during | | | account | | Expense | | during |
| | value | | | value | | Ratio | | period* | | | value | | Ratio | | period* |
Mid Cap Value Fund | | $1,000.00 | | | $1,143.10 | | 1.42% | | $7.63 | | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A |
All Cap Value Fund | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,107.40 | | 1.48% | | 7.82 | | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A |
Small-Mid Cap Value Fund | | 1,000.00 | | | 1,094.00 | | 1.39% | | 1.87 | | | $1,095.00 | | 1.14% | | $1.54 |
* | | Expenses are equal to the Funds’ expense ratio for the six-month period, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 for the Mid Cap Value and All Cap Value Funds (to reflect the one-half year period) and multiplied by 47/365 for the Small-Mid Cap Value Fund (to reflect the period since commencement). |
(1) | | The Small-Mid Cap Value Fund is the only series of Keeley Funds, Inc. that has two distinct share classes: Class A and Class I. The Mid Cap Value Fund and All Cap Value Fund have a single common share class which has the same characteristics of the Small-Mid Cap Value Fund – Class A shares. |

(Unaudited)
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund s’ actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the table below is useful in comparing the ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs could have been higher.
| | | | | CLASS A(1) | | | CLASS I |
| | | | | | | | | Expenses | | | | | | | Expenses |
| | Beginning | | | Ending | | Six-Month | | paid | | | Ending | | Six-Month | | paid |

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2007
1. | | ORGANIZATION |
|
| | KEELEY Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized on April 7, 2005 as a Maryland corporation and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as a diversified, open-end investment company. The Company consists of the KEELEY Mid Cap Value Fund (“KMCVX”), the KEELEY All Cap Value Fund (“KACVX”) and the KEELEY Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, a multi-class fund consisting of Class A (“KSMVX”) shares and Class I (“KSMIX”) institutional shares. KMCVX and KACVX have a single common share class which has the same characteristics of KSMVX. Since the characteristics of KMCVX and KACVX are identical to KSMVX, the common shares of KMCVX and KACVX are referred to as Class A shares in these financial statements. KSMVX and KSMIX are collectively referred to herein as “KSMVF”. KMCVX, KACVX, and KSMVF commenced operations on August 15, 2005, June 14, 2006, and August 15, 2007, respectively (each a “commencement date”, collectively the “commencement dates”). KMCVX, KACVX and KSMVF are collectively referred to herein as the “Funds.” |
|
2. | | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
| | The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The presentation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. |
|
| | a) Investment Valuation – Securities which are traded on a recognized stock exchange are valued at the last sale price each day on the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily traded or at the last sale price on a national securities exchange. Exchange-traded securities for which there were no transactions are valued at the current bid prices. Securities traded on only over-the-counter markets are valued on the basis of last sale price, or closing over-the-counter bid prices when there is no last sale price available. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued by a service that uses electronic data processing methods, avoiding exclusive reliance on exchange or over-the-counter prices. Debt securities purchased within 60 days of their stated maturity date are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. For each investment that is fair valued, if any, the Board of Directors considers, to the extent applicable, various factors including, but not limited to, the financial condition of the company, comparable companies in the public market, the nature and duration of the cause for a quotation not being readily available and other relevant factors. |
|
| | In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued its new Standard No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 is designed to unify guidance for the measurement of fair value of all types of assets, including financial instruments, and certain liabilities, throughout a number of accounting standards. FAS 157 also establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands financial statement disclosures about fair value measurements that are relevant to mutual |

| | funds. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and earlier adoption is permitted. At this time, management believes the adoption of FAS 157 will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company. b) Federal Income and Excise Taxes – It is the Company’s policy to meet the requirements of Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all investment company net taxable income and net capital gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to the Company. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. 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 Company’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 as of the date of the last net asset value calculation in the first required financial statement reporting period for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 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 to the Funds and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined. c) Distributions to Shareholders – Dividends from net investment income, if any, will be declared and paid annually. Distributions of net realized gains, if any, will be declared and paid annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Company may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts as a result of the characterization of certain income and realized gains determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations that may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. For the year ended September 30, 2007, KMCVX, KACVX and KSMVF increased undistributed net investment income by $348,475, $244,902 and $2,093, respectively and decreased paid in capital by $348,475, $244,245 and $2,093, respectively. Additionally, KACVX increased accumulated undistributed net realized loss on investments by $657. These reclassifications between capital accounts were made for only those differences that are permanent in nature. d) Other – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. The Company determines the gain or loss realized from investment transactions by comparing the identified original cost of the security lot sold with the net sale proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis, including amortization/accretion of premiums or discounts using the effective interest method. Net investment income, other than class specific expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of outstanding shares of each class of shares at the beginning of the day (after adjusting for the current capital shares activity of the respective class). Expenses common to all portfolios are allocated among the Funds based upon their relative net asset values or other appropriate allocation methods. |

| | e) Guarantees and Indemnifications – In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims against the Company that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Company expects the risk of loss to be remote. |
| | |
3. | | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT |
|
| | The Company has an agreement with Keeley Asset Management Corp. (the “Adviser”), with whom certain officers and directors of the Company are affiliated, to furnish investment advisory services to the Company (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”). Under the terms of this agreement, the Funds each pay the Adviser a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of each Fund’s first $350 million, 0.90% of the next $350 million, and 0.80% in excess of $700 million of each Fund’s average daily net assets. |
|
| | The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses with respect to KMCVX and KACVX until September 30, 2008, and until September 30, 2009 for KSMVF (“Expense Cap Agreement”), such that total expenses, exclusive of interest, taxes, litigation, brokerage commissions, charges from buying and selling Fund securities and other extraordinary expenses will not exceed the following amounts of average daily net assets of the respective Fund: |
Fund | | Class A | | Class I |
KMCVX | 1.49% | | — |
KACVX | 1.49% | | — |
KSMVF | 1.39% | | 1.14% |
Beginning October 1, 2007, the Adviser contractually agreed to increase its waiver with respect to KMCVX and KACVX until September 30, 2008, such that total expenses, exclusive of interest, taxes, litigation, brokerage commissions, charges from buying and selling Fund securities and other extraordinary expenses will not exceed 1.39% of the respective Funds’ average daily net assets.
Any reimbursements or fee waivers made by the Adviser to a Fund are subject to repayment by the Fund, to the extent that the Fund is able to make the repayment within its Expense Cap Agreement. Under the Expense Cap Agreement, such recoupments must be made within three years following the fiscal year in which the Adviser reduced its compensation and/or assumed expenses for the applicable Fund. The Adviser did not recoup any fees previously waived or reimbursed under the Expense Cap Agreement during the fiscal period ended September 30, 2007.

4. | | DISTRIBUTION PLAN |
|
| | The Company has adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for all Class A shares. The Plan is designed to reimburse Keeley Investment Corp. (the “Distributor”), with whom certain officers and directors of the Company are affiliated, for certain promotional and other sales related costs and to permit the Company to compensate other dealers of its shares. Unreimbursed amounts may be carried forward and paid in a subsequent year, to the extent that total expenses under the plan do not exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Funds. The Funds paid to the Distributor and each dealer a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Fund shares beneficially owned by the Distributor’s and each dealer’s existing brokerage clients. For the period from October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007, KMCVX paid $181,711 in distribution fees, of which $55,139 was paid to the Distributor. KACVX paid $102,874 in distribution fees, of which $39,289 was paid to the Distributor.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
KEELEY Small Cap Value Fund, Inc. and KEELEY Funds, Inc.:
In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KEELEY Small Cap Value Fund, Inc. and KEELEY Funds, Inc. (constituting KEELEY Small-Mid Cap Value Fund, KEELEY Mid Cap Value Fund and KEELEY All Cap Value Fund, hereafter referred to as the “Funds”) at September 30, 2007, the results of each of their operations for the year or period then ended, and the changes in each of their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “ financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Funds’ management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement for Keeley Small-Mid Cap Value Fund (Unaudited)
At a Meeting of the Board of Directors of Keeley Funds, Inc. (the “Company”) held on August 14, 2007, the Directors, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act, unanimously approved an amendment to the advisory agreement between the Company and Keeley Asset Management Corp. (respectively, the “Agreement” and the “Adviser”) to make the Adviser the investment adviser to the Company’s newly formed series, Keeley Small-Mid Cap Value Fund (the “Fund”).
The Board’s Independent Directors were assisted in their review by independent legal counsel, and met with such counsel separately from representatives of the Adviser. Independent legal counsel provided the Board with a memorandum that discussed the various factors that the Board should consider as part of its review of the Agreement, including, among other things, the nature and the quality of the services proposed to be provided by the Adviser, projected profitability (including any fall-out benefits) from the proposed relationship with the Fund, economies of scale and the role played by the Independent Directors. The Board also received materials on projected performance and expenses. The Directors discussed this material extensively among themselves and with their independent legal counsel. In their deliberations, the Directors did not identify any single factor which alone was responsible for the Board’s decision to approve the amendment to the Agreement.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
The Board examined the services proposed to be provided by the Adviser. In that regard, the Board considered the general reputation, financial resources and business activities of the Adviser and its current services to the Company. After considering all of this information, the Board concluded that the Adviser has more than sufficient resources and expertise to be able to provide acceptable services to the Fund.
Benefits from the Relationship with the Funds
The Board considered whether the Adviser would derive any other direct or indirect benefits from serving as investment adviser to the Fund. The Board noted the Adviser’s assertion that it was not aware of any ancillary or other benefits (other than advisory fees) that the Adviser would receive for serving as investment adviser to the Fund. The Board concluded that the lack of any ancillary, or so-called “fallout” benefits would enable the Adviser to manage the assets of the Fund in a manner that appeared to be free of conflicts of interest.
Economies of Scale
The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether the Fund’s fee levels reflect economies of scale for the benefit of its shareholder. The Board determined that because the Fund had not yet commenced operations, this factor was not a determinative factor.
54
Performance of the Funds and Costs of Services Provided
The Board considered information about the projected performance of the Fund and the costs of the services to be provided under the terms of the Agreement. The Board noted that because the Fund had not commenced operations, there was no actual performance or actual expenses to examine. The Board considered the Adviser’s assertion that the Fund would be managed in similar manner as to the other series of the Company, and reviewed with the Adviser the performance of each of those funds. The Board then reviewed the proposed expense information for the Fund, including against the expense structure of the other Funds and considered the projected costs and expenses of the Fund. The Board also considered the proposed advisory fees, noting that the Adviser was proposing to reimburse expenses. The Board concluded that the proposed expenses and fees were acceptable in light of the services proposed to be provided.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.
At the date of this filing, the registrant has not adopted a formal code of ethics that conforms to the standards listed in the General Instructions to this Form N-CSR (the “N-CSR Code”). However, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics in accordance with Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Code”), that addresses, among other things, conflicts of interest that may result from personal securities transactions and dealings with third parties, and certain outside activities. The Code is reasonably designed to deter wrongdoing and promote ethical conduct, internal reporting and accountability for adherence to the Code. In the judgment of the registrant, the adoption of a separate N-CSR Code is not necessary at the current time because of the small size of the registrant's and adviser's staff.
Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.
Registrant's board of directors has determined that Jerome Klingenberger, member and chairman of the registrant's Committee of Independent Directors (which performs all audit committee functions on behalf of registrant), has all the attributes of an "audit committee financial expert," as such term is defined in Instruction 2(b) to Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. Klingenberger is "independent" as such term is defined in paragraph (a)(2) of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.
Under applicable securities laws, a person who is determined to be an audit committee financial expert will not be deemed an "expert" for any purpose, including without limitation for the purposes of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as a result of being designated or identified as an audit committee financial expert. The designation or identification of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not impose on such person any duties, obligations, or liabilities that are greater than the duties, obligations, and liabilities imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and board of directors in the absence of such designation or identification.
Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.
Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for professional services rendered by the registrant’s accountant are summarized in the tables below. The tables summarize fees billed (or to be billed) by the registrant’s principal accountant for work performed relating to each applicable period identified below.
| | FYE 9/30/2007 | | FYE 9/30/2006 |
Audit Fees | | $24,300 | | $23,000 |
Audit-Related Fees | | 0 | | 0 |
Tax Fees | | $4,425 | | $4,085 |
All Other Fees | | 0 | | 0 |
1
(a) “Audit Fees” include amounts for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements, including fees billed for review of the registrant’s post-effective amendments to the registrant’s registration statements filed for each of the last two fiscal years.
(b) “Audit-Related Fees” include amounts for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements. Audit-related fees have not been reported under the item “audit fees” in the chart above.
(c) “Tax Fees” include amounts for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning.
(d) None.
(e)(1) During its regularly scheduled periodic meetings, the registrant's Committee of Independent Directors considers any requests to pre-approve any audit, audit-related, tax and other services to be provided by the principal accountants of the registrant. Under paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, pre-approval of non-audit services may be waived provided that: 1) the aggregate fees for all such services provided constitutes no more than five percent of the total amount of fees paid by the registrant to its principal accountant during the fiscal year in which services are provided, 2) such services were not recognized by the registrant at the time of engagement as non-audit services and 3) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee of Independent Directors of the registrant and approved prior to the completion of the audit.
(e)(2) No services included in Items 4(b) - - (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.
(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.
(g) The aggregate fees billed for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007 by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant are shown in the tables. For the registrant’s fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2007, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP served as the registrant’s principal accountant and provided no services and billed no fees, for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, the registrant’s adviser or entities controlling, controlled by or under common control with the adviser.
(h) The Committee of Independent Directors of the registrant has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence. No such services were rendered during the two most recent fiscal years.
