Timothy Plan Family of Funds
NOTE 1 | | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Timothy Plan (the “Trust”) is organized as a series of a Delaware business trust pursuant to a trust agreement dated December 16, 1993. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. As of March 31, 2023, the Trust consisted of nineteen series. These financial statements include the following twelve series: Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund, Timothy Plan International Fund, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund, Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund, Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund, Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund, Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund, Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund, Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund and Timothy Plan Growth & Income Fund (the “Funds”). The Funds are diversified funds except for the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategy Fund which is a non-diversified fund.
The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. common stocks without regard to market capitalizations and investing in the securities of a limited number of companies which the Fund’s advisor believes show a high probability for superior growth.
The Timothy Plan International Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in the securities of foreign companies (companies domiciled in countries other than the United States), without regard to market capitalizations. Although the Fund maintains a diversified investment portfolio, the political or economic developments within a particular country or region may have an adverse effect on the ability of domiciled issuers to meet their obligations. Additionally, political or economic developments may have an effect on the liquidity and volatility of portfolio securities and currency holdings.
The Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a significant investment consideration and any such income realized will be considered incidental to the Fund’s investment objective. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. common stocks with market capitalizations in excess of $2 billion.
The Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund’s primary objective is long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in U.S. stocks with market capitalizations that fall within the range of companies included in the Russell 2000 Index.
The Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund’s investment objective is long-term capital growth, with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by primarily investing in U.S. common stocks. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in the common stock of companies whose total market capitalization generally exceeds $2 billion.
The Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund seeks to generate a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of debt securities. These include corporate bonds, U.S. Government and agency securities, convertible securities and preferred securities.
The Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund’s investment objective is to generate a high level of current income. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of high yield fixed income securities. These include corporate bonds, U.S. Government and agency securities, convertible securities and preferred securities. The Fund will generally purchase securities that are not investment-grade, meaning securities

with a rating of “BBB” or lower as rated by Standard and Poor’s or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized rating agency. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment-grade securities.
The Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund seeks to provide long-term growth of capital. This Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by normally investing at least 80% of the Fund’s total assets in the common stock of companies domiciled and/or headquartered in Israel through the purchase of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) and direct investments in such companies on foreign stock exchanges, without regard to market capitalizations.
The Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund’s investment objective is the protection of principal through aggressive, proactive reactions to prevailing economic conditions. To achieve its investment objective, the Fund normally invests in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), commodities based Exchange-Traded Funds (“ETFs”), Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (“TIPS”), and currently holds gold bullion.
The Timothy Plan Strategic Growth Fund seeks to generate medium to high levels of long-term capital growth. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 75% of its net assets in the following Funds which are other series of the Trust: approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund; approximately 0-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund; approximately 0-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund; approximately 5-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund; approximately 0-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan International Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund; approximately 5-30% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund; approximately 0-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Fixed Income Fund; approximately 0-40% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan U.S. Large/Mid Cap Core ETF; approximately 0-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan High Dividend Stock ETF; approximately 0-30% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan International ETF; and approximately 0-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Small Cap Core ETF.
The Timothy Plan Conservative Growth Fund seeks to generate moderate levels of long-term capital growth with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by normally investing at least 75% of its net assets in the following Funds which are other series of the Trust: approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value Fund; approximately 0-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Value Fund; approximately 0-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Large/Mid Cap Growth Fund; approximately 0-5% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund; approximately 5-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan High Yield Bond Fund; approximately 0-20% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan International Fund; approximately 20%-40% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Fixed Income Fund; approximately 5-30% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Defensive Strategies Fund; approximately 0-10% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Israel Common Values Fund; approximately 0-30% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan U.S. Large/Mid Cap Core ETF; approximately 0-25% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan High Dividend Stock ETF; approximately 0-25% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan International ETF; and approximately 0-15% of its net assets in the Timothy Plan Small Cap Core ETF.
The Timothy Plan Growth & Income Fund’s investment objective is to provide total return through a combination of growth and income and preservation of capital in declining markets. To achieve its goals, the Fund primarily invests in equity securities of foreign and domestic companies that the advisor believes are undervalued, and in fixed income securities. The Fund will normally hold both equity securities and fixed income securities, with at least 25% of its assets in equity securities and at least 25% of its assets in fixed income securities.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The Funds are an investment company and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies”.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 98
| A. | SECURITY VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS |
All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value as described in Note 2.
| B. | INVESTMENT INCOME AND SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS |
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). The costing method for the Timothy Plan Funds is specific identification. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date. Interest income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis. The Timothy Plan Aggressive Growth Fund, Large/Mid Cap Value Fund, Israel Common Values Fund, Small Cap Value Fund and Defensive Strategies Fund have made certain investments in REITs. Dividend income from REITs is recognized on the ex-dividend date. It is common for distributions from REITs to exceed taxable earnings and profits, resulting in the excess portion of such dividends being designated as a return of capital. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in REITS are reported to the Funds after the end of the calendar year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the calendar year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities using the effective yield method. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific country or region.
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Investment securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment 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 Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, 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 Funds’ 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 fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
There is a risk that some or all of the Trust’s gold bars held by the custodian or any sub-custodian on behalf of the Trust could be lost, damaged or stolen. Access to the Trust’s gold bars could be restricted by natural events (such as an earthquake) or human actions (such as a terrorist attack). Any of these events may adversely affect the operations of the Trust and, consequently, an investment in the fund shares.

Several factors may affect the price of gold, including but not limited to:
| ● | Global or regional political, economic or financial events and situations; |
| ● | Investors’ expectations with respect to the rate of inflation; |
| ● | Currency exchange rates; |
| ● | Investment and trading activities of hedge funds and commodity funds. |
| F. | NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE |
The Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share of the capital stock of the Funds is determined daily as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange by dividing the value of its net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding. The NAV is calculated separately for each class of each Fund in the Trust. The net asset value of the classes may differ because of different fees and expenses charged to each class.
Expenses incurred by the Trust that do not relate to a specific Fund of the Trust are allocated to the individual Funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis as determined by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”).
There are three classes of shares currently offered by all Funds in the Trust, except Strategic Growth Fund and Conservative Growth Fund: Class A shares are offered with a front-end sales charge and ongoing service/distribution fees; Class C shares are offered with a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) that ends after the first year and ongoing service and distribution fees; Class I shares, which commenced operations on August 1, 2013, are offered without any sales charges or ongoing service distribution fees.
Class specific expenses are borne by each specific class. Income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains/losses are allocated to the respective classes on the basis of relative daily net assets.
In the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP, management makes 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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year ended. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
It is the policy of each Fund to continue to comply with all requirements under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Each Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income or gains. Therefore, no federal income tax or excise provision is required.
As of September 30, 2022, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially within the next twelve months.

The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
| L. | DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS |
Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the period from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expense or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations, or Net Asset Values (NAVs) per share of the Funds.
During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, certain of the Funds utilized tax equalization which is the use of earnings and profits distributions to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax treatment of net operating losses, distributions in excess, use of tax equalization credits, resulted in reclassifications for the Funds for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 as follows:

Note 2 | | Security Valuation and Fair Value Measurements |
The Funds’ securities are valued at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. GAAP established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes.
Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.
The Funds may hold securities, such as private investments, interests in commodity pools, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities will be valued using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board. The Board has delegated execution of these procedures to the Adviser as its valuation designee (the “Valuation Designee”). The Board may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, which approval shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures established by the Board.
FAIR VALUATION PROCESS
The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures established by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that will affect the value thereof has occurred (a “significant event”) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to a Fund’s calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities, such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine, the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Fund’s holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.

VALUATION OF FUND OF FUNDS
A Fund may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value based upon methods established by the Board of Trustees of the Underlying Funds.
Open-ended funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many closed-end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Fund will not change.
EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS
The Funds may invest in exchange traded funds (“ETFs”). ETFs are a type of index fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and may be actively traded or represent a fixed portfolio of securities designed to track the performance and dividend yield of a particular domestic or foreign market index. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Each ETF is subject to specific risks, depending on the nature of the ETF. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
OPTIONS TRANSACTIONS
The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.
Each Fund may write call options only if it (i) owns an offsetting position in the underlying security or (ii) has an absolute or immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio.
When the Funds write a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the statement of assets and liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if the Funds enter into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, the Funds have no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
The Funds may purchase put and call options. Call options are purchased to hedge against an increase in the value of securities held in a Funds’ portfolio. If such an increase occurs, the call options will permit the Fund to purchase the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, not at the current market price. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a Fund’s portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit the Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by the Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to a Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.

The Trust utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
| ● | Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |
| ● | Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
| ● | Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Each Fund generally determines the total value of each class of its shares by using market prices for the securities comprising its portfolio. Equity securities, including common stock, preferred stock, ADRs, REITs, LPs, LLCs, PLCs, GDRs and NVDRs are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the advisor or sub-advisor believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities including ETFs, that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using the market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Equity securities traded on inactive markets or valued by reference to similar instruments are categorized as a Level 2. When market quotations are not readily available, when the advisor or sub-advisor determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the advisor or sub-advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 3 securities. Foreign investments are not fair valued using fair value triggers.
Investments in alternative investments, such as gold bars, are valued at the spot rate at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.
Fixed income securities such as corporate bonds, convertible bonds, government mortgage-backed securities, government notes and bonds, non U.S. government bonds, U.S. government agency securities and treasury inflation protected securities, when valued using market quotations in an active market, will be categorized as Level 1 securities. However, they may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the advisor or sub-advisor believes such prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. These securities will generally be categorized as Level 2 securities. If the advisor or sub-advisor decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities, when prices are not readily

SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT | 104
available from a pricing service, or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the advisor or sub-advisor, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. These securities will be categorized as Level 3 securities.
Short-term investments in fixed income securities (those with maturities of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity) may be valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board has determined will represent fair value. These securities will be classified as Level 2 securities.
The Board has delegated to the advisor responsibility for determining the value of Fund portfolio securities under certain circumstances. Under such circumstances, the advisor will use its best efforts to arrive at the fair value of a security held by the Fund under all reasonably ascertainable facts and circumstances. The advisor must prepare a report for the Board not less than quarterly containing a complete listing of any securities for which fair value pricing was employed and detailing the specific reasons for such fair value pricing. The Board has adopted written policies and procedures to guide the advisor and sub-advisors with respect to the circumstances under which, and the methods to be used, in fair valuing securities.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments are primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies, and adjustments for C-Corporation return of capital distributions, partnerships, and perpetual bonds. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency losses of $(60), $(459), $(50), $(854) for the International, Defensive Strategies, Large-Mid Cap Growth, and Israel Common Values Funds, respectively.

Section 8 | Expense Examples
MARCH 31, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: direct costs, such as wire fees and low balance fees; and indirect costs, including management fees, and other Fund operating expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your indirect costs, also referred to as “ongoing costs”, (in dollars) of investing in each Fund, and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
This example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire six-month period of October 1, 2022 through March 31, 2023.
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested at the beginning of the period, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES
The second line of the tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each 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 ongoing costs of investing in each 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 tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any direct costs, such as wire fees or low balance fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these direct costs were included, your costs would be higher.

MARCH 31, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Timothy Partners, Ltd. (“TPL”)
At an in-person meeting held February 23-24, 2023, the Trustees considered the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and Timothy Partners, Ltd. (the “Advisor” or “TPL”), for the Funds. Fund counsel reviewed the standards of review required of Trustees, and Independent Trustees in particular, with respect to the renewal of advisory and sub-advisory agreements.
The Trustees reviewed the questionnaire responses provided by TPL and the related documents in support of those responses. With respect to the questionnaire responses, the Trustees noted that the questionnaire appeared to fully include requests for information relating to all areas of required inquiry, and that TPL’s responses were satisfactory. The Trustees then generally reviewed TPL’s responses, including but not limited to the conduct of its business operations and personnel changes, a description of the compensation received by TPL from the Funds, and information relating to the Advisor’s compliance and operational policies and procedures. In addition, the Trustees had requested and received financial statements of TPL for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and noted that updated financial statements were provided at each Trustees Meeting.
Initially, the Trustees reviewed and discussed at length the Advisor’s experience and consistency in incorporating and implementing the unique, biblically-based management style that is a stated objective of all the Funds, as set forth in the Funds’ prospectus. The Trustees noted that the Advisor had managed the Funds since their inceptions, had developed, implemented and provided continuous monitoring of the Biblically Responsible Investing (“BRI”) screens utilized by the Funds, oversaw and monitored the ongoing activities of the Funds’ Sub-Advisors, and provided general management services to the Funds. In each of these areas, the Trustees concluded that TPL had performed in a satisfactory manner.
The Trustees reviewed reports provided in advance of the meeting from TPL relating to the fees charged by TPL, both as an aggregate and in relation to fees charged by other advisors to funds that incorporated similar religious criteria into their investment process. The Trustees considered the fees charged by TPL in light of the services provided to the Funds by TPL, the unique nature of the Funds and their moral screening requirements, which are maintained by TPL, and TPL’s role as a manager of managers. The Trustees also noted that the Advisor had agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee for several Funds in order to lower the overall expenses of those Funds. After careful consideration of the materials presented to the Trustees, the Trustees concluded that the fees charged by TPL for each Fund were within the range of fees charged to peer funds. In light of the unique facts and circumstances applicable to this Trust, the Trustees agreed that the fees charged by TPL were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided to the Funds.
The Trustees next discussed the nature, extent and quality of TPL’s services to the Funds. In particular, the Trustees noted TPL’s commitment to maintaining certain targeted expense ratios for the Funds, its efforts in providing comprehensive and consistent moral screens to the investment managers, its efforts in maintaining appropriate oversight of the investment managers to each Fund, and its efforts to maintain ongoing regulatory compliance for the Funds.
The Trustees also discussed TPL’s current fee structure and whether such structure would allow the Funds to realize economies of scale as they grow. The Trustees noted that TPL’s current fee structure did not include breakpoints that would reduce the Advisor’s fee rate as the Fund grew in assets, but the Trustees noted that the Funds currently were not large enough to realize meaningful economies of scale. The Trustees also noted that the Advisor was currently waiving a portion of its fees for certain Funds, which acted as a substitute for formal breakpoints.
The Trustees next considered the investment performance of each Fund and the Advisor’s performance in monitoring the investment managers of the underlying funds. The Trustees noted that comprehensive performance information was provided at each Trustees Meeting, and the Trustees incorporated that information into their considerations. The Trustees concluded that each Fund’s performance was satisfactory. The Trustees also considered the performance of the two Funds directly managed by the Advisor, the Conservative Growth Fund and the Strategic Growth Fund. The Trustees noted that the Conservative Growth Fund had outperformed the Dow Jones Moderate Portfolio index and that the Strategic Growth Fund had outperformed the Dow Jones Moderately Aggressive Portfolio index, each for the year ended December 31, 2022. The Trustees acknowledged that the screening process employed by TPL eliminated a number of companies that constituted major contributors to the Funds’ underlying benchmark indices and that this could adversely affect relative performance. After review of the Funds’ performance over time, the Trustees concluded that Fund performance was adequate and that the Advisor was performing its oversight function effectively. Further, the Trustees noted that the investment managers of each Fund avoided “style drift” in their management of each Fund, and that each Fund was committed to maintain its investment mandate, even if that meant underperformance during periods when that style was out of favor. The Trustees noted the Advisor’s ongoing efforts to maintain consistent investment discipline.

The Trustees then reviewed the internal operations of TPL and examined whether TPL received any ancillary benefits from its relationship with the Trust. The Trustees noted that the Advisor’s business was devoted exclusively to serving the Funds, and that the Advisor did not realize any material ancillary benefits or profits deriving from its relationship with the Funds other than advisory fees and fees received as the Funds’ distributor.
After careful discussion and consideration, the Independent Trustees, themselves constituting a majority of the Trustees, voted to renew the Advisory Agreement until February 28, 2024. In approving the renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Trustees did not place specific emphasis on any one factor discussed above, and individual Trustees may have weighted each factor differently. Further, the Independent Trustees were advised by counsel during their consideration of the Advisory Agreement renewal and the Sub-Advisor Agreement renewals.
Westwood Management Corporation; Sub-Advisor to the Large/Mid Cap Value and the Small Cap Value Funds.
The Trustees next considered the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Trust, TPL and Westwood Management Corporation (“Westwood”), on behalf of the Timothy Plan Small Cap Value and Large/Mid Cap Value Funds. The Trustees considered the following factors in arriving at its conclusions to renew the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional year. The Trustees first noted that TPL recommended that the Westwood Agreement should be renewed for an additional year. The Trustees also noted the favorable review given by UBS PRIME Consultants. The Trustees then considered the fees charged by Westwood in light of the services provided by Westwood. The Trustees noted that the fees payable to Westwood were not obligations of the Trust but were paid by TPL out of the advisory fees received by TPL. Accordingly, the Trustees’ inquiry was limited to whether those fees represented a fair percentage of the overall fees paid to TPL by the subject Funds in light of the services provided by Westwood. After careful consideration, the Trustees agreed that the fees charged by Westwood and paid out of the fees received by TPL were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided by Westwood. Next, the Trustees discussed the nature, extent and quality of Westwood’s services to each Fund, including the investment performance of the Funds under Westwood’s investment management. The Trustees considered that during the calendar year ended December 31, 2022, the Large/Mid Cap Value Fund outperformed the S&P 500® Index and the Small Cap Value Fund outperformed the Russell 2000® Index. Further, the Trustees noted that Westwood avoided “style drift” in its management of each Fund’s assets, and that Westwood was committed to maintain its investment mandate, even if that meant underperformance during periods when that style was out of favor. Next, the Trustees considered whether Westwood’s current fee structure would allow the Funds to realize economies of scale as they grow. The Trustees decided that this particular factor was not relevant with respect to the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement because Westwood was paid out of the fees paid to TPL. After careful consideration, the Trustees, including the independent Trustees separately concurring, determined that the renewal of the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement for another one-year period would be in the best interests of the Funds’ shareholders. In approving the renewal of the Westwood Sub-Advisory Agreement for an additional one-year period, the Trustees did not place specific emphasis on any one factor discussed above, and individual Trustees may have weighted each factor differently.
Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss; Sub-Advisor for the Fixed Income, High Yield Bond, Defensive Strategies TIPS sleeve, and fixed income sleeve of the Growth and Income Fund.
The Trustees next considered the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Trust, TPL and Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss (“BHM&S”), on behalf of the Fixed Income Fund, High Yield Bond Fund, Defensive Strategies Fund TIPS sleeve, and fixed income sleeve of the Growth and Income Fund.

The Trustees first noted that TPL recommended that the BHM&S Agreement should be renewed for an additional year. The Trustees also noted the favorable review given by UBS PRIME Consultants. The Trustees then considered the fees charged by BHM&S in light of the services provided by BHM&S. The Trustees noted that the fees payable to BHM&S were not obligations of the Trust, but were paid by TPL out of the advisory fees received by TPL. Accordingly, the Trustees’ inquiry was limited to whether those fees represented a fair percentage of the overall fees paid to TPL by the subject Funds in light of the services provided by BHM&S. After careful consideration, the Trustees agreed that the fees charged by BHM&S and paid out of the fees received by TPL were fair and reasonable in light of the services provided by BHM&S. Next, the Trustees discussed the nature, extent and quality of BHM&S’s services to each Fund, including the investment performance of the Funds and the sleeves under BHM&S’s investment management. The Trustees noted that the Fixed Income Fund had outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for the year ended December 31, 2022, and that the High Yield Bond Fund had underperformed the Bloomberg High Yield Ba/B Index for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Section 10 | Liquidity Risk Management Program
MARCH 31, 2023 (UNAUDITED)
The Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources. The Funds’ Board of Trustees approved the appointment of a Liquidity Program Administrator (LPA) comprised of the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee, which includes representatives from the Funds’ investment adviser and liquidity consultant. The LPA is responsible for the program’s administration and oversight and for reporting to the Board on at least an annual basis regarding the program’s operation and effectiveness. The LPA updated its assessment of each Fund’s liquidity risk profile, considering additional data gathered in the 12 months ended November 30, 2022 and the adequacy and effectiveness of the liquidity risk management program’s operations since its inception on December 1, 2018 (the “Review Period”) in order to prepare a written report for the Board of Trustees (the “Report”) for consideration at its meeting held in February, 2023.
During the Review Period, none of the Funds experienced excess stress or disruption to its operations related to purchase and redemption activity. Also, during the Review Period, the Funds held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. None of the Funds had a significant amount of illiquid investments and none required a determination as to a highly liquid investment minimum. The Report concluded that (i) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Funds’ liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
