Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2007
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
American Heritage Growth Fund, Inc. (the "Fund'') was incorporated on February 14, 1994 and commenced operations on May 25, 1994. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end investment company having an investment objective of seeking growth of capital.
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 generally accepted accounting principles.
Security valuations
The Fund values investment securities, where reliable market quotations are available, at market value based on the last recorded sales price as reported on the principal securities exchange on which the security is traded, or if the security is not traded on an exchange, market value is based on the latest bid price. Portfolio securities for which reliable market quotations are not readily available are valued as the Board of Directors in good faith determines.
Federal income taxes
The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Distribution to Shareholders
The Fund intends to distribute to shareholders substantially all of its net investment income, if any, and any net realized capital gains, if any, during each fiscal year. Any undistributed amounts for any fiscal year will be paid out of the subsequent year's distributions.
AMERICAN HERITAGE GROWTH FUND, INC
Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2007
(Continued)
Option writing
When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Fund on the expiration date as realized gains from the sale of securities. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss.
Repurchase Agreements
The Fund may enter into a repurchase agreement as a money market alternative with respect to its otherwise uninvested cash. There is no limitation of the amount of repurchase agreements which may be entered into by the Fund. In connection with a repurchase agreement, the Fund will acquire a security and simultaneously agree to resell at a higher price. A repurchase agreement, therefore, involves a loan by the Fund, which loan is collateralized by the value of the underlying security. Delays or losses could result if the other party to the repurchase agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. All repurchase agreements entered into by the Fund will be fully collateralized by securities issued by the United States Government.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
AMERICAN HERITAGE GROWTH FUND, INC
Notes to Financial Statements
January 31, 2007
(Continued)
Other
The Fund follows industry practice and records security transactions on the trade date. The specific identification method is used in determining gains and losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis.
NOTE 2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
The Fund has an investment advisory agreement with American Heritage Management Corporation (AHMC), whereby AHMC receives an annual fee of 1.25% of the Fund’s average net asset value, computed daily, and payable monthly. However, for the year ending January 31, 2007, AHMC agreed to waive its investment advisory fees which amounted to $918.
Heiko H. Thieme, the Fund’s Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer, is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary of AHMC, of which he owns all of the outstanding shares.
During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2007 and January 31, 2006, Thieme Securities, Inc., which is wholly owned by Heiko H. Thieme, received brokerage commissions from the Fund of $156 and $2,290, respectively.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS
During the year ended January 31, 2007, purchases and sales of investment securities, other than short-term investments, aggregated $42,000 and $52,865, respectively.

Expense Illustration
January 31, 2007
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the American Heritage Growth Fund., you incur ongoing costs, including management 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, August 1, 2006 through January 31, 2007.
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 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 entitled "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 table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 these Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Beginning Account Value | Ending Account Value | Expenses Paid During the Period* | |
August 1, 2006 | January 31, 2007 | August 1,2006 to January 31, 2006 | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $750.00 | $234.31 |
Hypothetical (5% Annual Return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $757.42 | $235.30 |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 53.12%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |

Board of Directors and Shareholders
American Heritage Growth Fund, Inc.
New York, NY
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the American Heritage Growth Fund, Inc., including the schedule of investments in securities, as of January 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and the financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audit 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 and financial highlights and related ratios/supplemental data are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and the applicatio n of alternative auditing procedures for unsettled security transactions. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the American Heritage Growth Fund, Inc. as of January 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Shareholders
American Heritage Growth Fund, Inc.
New York, NY
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the American Heritage Growth Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) for the year ended January 31, 2007, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), we considered its internal control over financial reporting, including control activities for safeguarding securities, as a basis for designing our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the American Heritage Growth Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
The management of the American Heritage Growth Fund is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. A Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Such internal control includes policies and procedures that provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of a company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projection of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods is subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.
A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a control deficiency, or combination or control deficiencies, that adversely affects the company’s ability to initiate, authorize, record, process or report external financial statement data reliably in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such that there is more than remote likelihood that a misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements that is more than inconsequential will not be prevented or detected. A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be preve nted or detected.
Our consideration of the American Heritage Growth Fund’s internal control over financial reporting was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph and would not necessarily disclose all deficiencies in internal control that might be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). However, we noted no deficiencies in the American Heritage Growth Fund’s internal control over financial reporting and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, that we consider to be material weaknesses as defined above as of January 31, 2007.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management and the Board of Directors of the American Heritage Growth Fund and the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.
