MESSAGE |
To Our Shareholders |
As you will read in the attached portfolio letter, the Buffalo Funds had another year of overall Apositive results. As a result of our limiting purchases in Micro Cap, Small Cap and High Yield Funds through the supermarkets, net inflow growth was steady and controlled over the past twelve months. We believe this is a long-term positive for existing shareholders. As we have learned from the past, large spikes in fund inflows are highly correlated to short-term fund performance. The closure of several funds and the implementation of short-term redemption fees has sharply reduced this risk to our long-term shareholders. Largely through modest share price appreciation, fund assets grew to over $2.7 billion as of March 31, 2005.
The Buffalo Funds recently announced our support and National Sponsorship of the NAIA’s Champions of Character program. The program is designed to help student-athletes, coaches and parents “know the right thing, do the right thing, and value the right thing” inside and outside of the sports setting. The five core values the Champions of Character program emphasizes are Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Servant Leadership and Sportsmanship. Launched in 2000, this program addresses issues of character values more comprehensively than any other national program for youth.
The NAIA is dedicated to changing the culture of sports with this program. This is no small undertaking, and Buffalo Funds is the National Sponsor. This is separate and in addition to the Buffalo Funds’ Title Sponsorship of the Division I Men’s Basketball National Championship held each year in Kansas City, Missouri. The program currently reaches hundreds of thousands of students and coaches on approximately 300 college and university campuses in the US and Canada. In addition to incorporating this in each of their schools, the NAIA conducts training and motivational presentations to corporate, community and youth organizations. If you would like more information on the program or our sponsorship, please visit our web-site’s home page.
The upcoming quarter is a big one for us, with three more ten-year anniversary milestones. The Buffalo High Yield, Large Cap and USA Global Funds will earn their ten-year performance tenures in May. And, hard as it is to believe, the Buffalo Micro Cap will be one year old in May. This year is proving to be a busy one for the Buffalo research team. We are traveling to visit our holdings and research new companies at a dizzying pace. As you will read, we are using this intelligence to make numerous changes to our portfolios.
Thank you for recommending our funds to your family, friends and business associates over the years. As fellow shareholders, we appreciate the confidence you have placed in us. Please feel free to call when you need support, some portfolio insight, or if you have suggestions or concerns. We always welcome hearing from you.
Sincerely, Kent W. Gasaway President Buffalo Funds |

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT REVIEW
The 12 months ending in March 31, 2005 was a mildly positive one in general for equity investors, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 6.69%. As we write this, the Fed has just raised interest rates for the eighth successive time, albeit in a slow, measured fashion. For much of the past year or so, the market has also been concerned with rising oil prices. Where oil prices go in the short term we don’t know, but we still believe that oil is a highly cyclical investment. We don’t follow benchmark driven industry weightings, thus oil has not been a prominent investment for most of our funds.
We believe the stock market will be poised for further gains once investors are convinced the Federal Reserve interest rate tightening cycle is near completion. As we have discussed in past letters, the stock market began its march to large gains in late 1994, well before the Fed had completed its tightening of monetary policy during 1994-95. We expect this cycle to play out in a similar fashion.
More than ever, we are focusing on the fundamental long-term prospects of our holdings and continue to believe that our emphasis on underlying secular growth trends and valuation discipline will continue to benefit shareholders. Please see the investment results table, which outlines the performance for each of the Funds.
Buffalo Small Cap Fund saw particularly positive performance in gaming and other consumer discretionary stocks, with names such as Orient-Express Hotels Ltd., Ameristar Casinos, Inc. and American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. doing particularly well. Several new holdings were added based upon our long-term trend and fundamental analysis including Corinthian Colleges, Inc. (post secondary education), Central Garden & Pet Co. (a manufacturer of pet and garden supply related products) and Sybron Dental Specialties, Inc. (a manufacturer of consumable and aesthetic dental products).
The Buffalo Mid Cap Fund was up modestly for the year. Like the Small Cap Fund, not owning energy stocks was a mild drag on performance. In addition, two of the worst performing sectors were technology and healthcare, and the Fund holds almost double the index weightings in both sectors. Consumer discretionary stocks continued to perform well, especially within retail. Five of the top six performers in the Fund were retail stocks, including Chico's FAS, Inc., Abercrombie & Fitch Co., Michaels Stores, Inc., Talbots, Inc. and CVS Corp. We initiated a number of new positions including names in business services, retail and health care such as Petsmart, Inc., Williams-Sonoma, Inc., Pharmaceutical Product Development, Inc. and Hewitt Associates, Inc.
Buffalo Large Cap Fund was up modestly for the year and, like most of our equity funds, had to make do without the benefit of energy related stocks. Helping performance were stocks such as FedEx Corp., Johnson & Johnson and Walgreen Co. The Fund's relatively heavy exposure to technology and certain healthcare stocks hindered overall performance. Some of these stocks included Analog Devices, Inc., AU Optronics Corp. and Pfizer Inc. Examples of stocks added to the portfolio, which met our investment criteria, include Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., Time Warner Inc. and Viacom Inc.

MESSAGE |
To Our Shareholders (continued) |
The Buffalo USA Global Fund had a relatively challenging year, having strong weights within technology and healthcare. While this Fund owned some energy stocks throughout the year, they were reduced too early. Stocks that performed well included Getty Images, Inc., Tempur-Pedic International Inc. and The Gillette Co. We added a number of new stocks to the fund including Gentex Corp. (a maker of self-dimming auto mirrors), Tiffany & Co. (a higher-end jeweler) and Gtech Holdings Corp. (which manages lottery systems for various governments), all of which qualify for the Fund’s unique investment objective of investing only in U.S. companies that generate a substantial component of their revenues from overseas sources.
As one might imagine, given the industry related weakness witnessed in some of the other Funds, the Buffalo Science & Technology Fund had a relatively weak year in absolute terms, driven in large part by our semiconductor and biotech related exposure. However, it still managed to perform better than its related indices. Stocks such as Abbot Laboratories, American Medical Systems Holdings, Inc., Texas Instruments Inc. and Wind River Systems, Inc. performed well. We also added new stocks to the portfolio such as Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc., Baxter International Inc., Cabot Microelectronics Corp. and KLA-Tencor Corp.
We launched the Buffalo Micro Cap Fund on May 21, 2004. Though not yet a year old, the Fund has experienced steady cash inflows and has achieved a positive return for investors since its inception. The Fund was established to take advantage of our extensive experience with relatively small companies and focus on those with market capitalizations below $600 million. Consumer discretionary and consumer services were the strongest performers, with the retail sector posting the lowest returns.
We still maintain a higher than normal cash position in the Fund (due to steady inflows) allowing us to take advantage of buying opportunities in both existing holdings and new investments. Additionally, with the recent pullback in the market during the current period (second quarter 2005) we believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of further buying opportunities.
The Fund is currently available only to direct investors. Availability through the supermarkets in the future will be considered based on market conditions and cash flows.
The Buffalo Balanced Fund beat its comparative index this past year. The Fund invests in common stocks with rising dividends, as well as convertible and high yield bonds. We made a few bond purchases as opportunities presented themselves. We have been avoiding long term bonds to protect the portfolio from rising interest rates.
4 |
Over the past few months corporate bond prices have corrected, and we plan to begin investing in longer bonds as they reach our yield objectives. This will help increase the yield on our portfolio. We think the stock market will present opportunities as well. Currently, the mix between bonds and stocks sits at approximately a 50/50% mix, with most stocks yielding above 2%. With our fixed income holdings, we are primarily focusing on higher yielding issuers and shorter-term convertibles which should help to buffer the Fund from future rises in interest rates.
The Buffalo High Yield Fund posted another positive year. Due to historically low interest rates and historically low corporate yield spreads, we have let cash build in the Fund as we anticipate a generally higher level of corporate bond rates. While the build-up in cash may have held back the Fund’s relative performance, our interest has been in the long-term and positioning the Fund for the future. We patiently wait for appropriate returns to compensate for the risks inherent in investing in high yield bonds.
Thank you for your continued confidence in the Buffalo Funds.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE |
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) 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 (10/1/04 – 3/31/05).
ACTUAL EXPENSES
The first line of the tables below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load or transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, currently a $15.00 fee is charged by the Funds’ transfer agent. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares of the Buffalo Balanced, Large Cap, Mid Cap, Science & Technology and USA Global Funds within 60 days of purchase. The Buffalo High Yield, Small Cap and Micro Cap Funds will charge a redemption fee equal to 2.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares within 180 days of purchase. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds are expected to vary among the various underlying funds. These expenses are not included in the example below. The example below includes management fees, registration fees and other expenses. However, the example below does not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses and other extraordinary expenses as determined under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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 tables 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 our 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. 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), redemption fees, or exchange 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL |
STATEMENTS |
March 31, 2005 |
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Buffalo Balanced Fund, Inc., Buffalo High Yield Fund, Inc., Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Inc., Buffalo Funds (comprised of the Buffalo Micro Cap Fund, Buffalo Mid Cap Fund and Buffalo Science & Technology Fund), Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Inc. and Buffalo USA Global Fund, Inc. (the “Funds”) are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified open-end management investment companies. The shares of the Buffalo Funds are issued in multiple series, with each series, in effect, representing a separate Fund. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
A. INVESTMENT VALUATION — Corporate stocks and bonds traded on a national securities exchange or national market, except those traded using the National Association of Securities Dealers’ Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”), are valued at the latest sales price thereof, or if no sale was reported on that date, the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked price is used. All equity securities that are traded using NASDAQ are valued using the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”).
Securities not currently traded or those securities with a price deemed to be unsatisfactory are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under procedures approved by the Boards of Directors. If events occur that will affect the value of a Fund’s portfolio securities before the NAV has been calculated, the security will generally be priced using a fair value procedure. The Board has adopted specific procedures for valuing portfolio securities and delegated the responsibility of fair value determinations to a Valuation Committee. Some of the factors that may be considered by the Valuation Committee in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restriction on the disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the securities are purchased or sold. As of March 31, 2005, the Buffalo Balanced Fund and Buffalo High Yield Fund held fair valued securities with market values of $140,691 and $203,952, respectively or 0.10% and 0.07% of total net assets, respectively.
Securities with maturities of 60 days or less when acquired or subsequently within 60 days of maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
B. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — Each Fund complies with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code necessary to qualify as regulated investment companies and to make the requisite distributions of income and capital gains to its shareholders sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all federal income taxes. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been provided.
C. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are reported on the identified cost basis. All discounts/premiums are accreted/amortized for financial reporting purposes and are included in interest income.
D. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for premium amortization on debt securities and deferral of post October and wash sale losses.
E. USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
F. INDEMNIFICATIONS — Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its Officers and Directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnification to other parties. 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, and may not occur. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

2. FEDERAL TAX MATTERS:
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended March 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

Total distributions paid differ from the Statements of Changes in Net Assets due primarily to the use of equalization debits and the recharacterization of short-term capital gain distributions to ordinary distributions for tax purposes.
On the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, the following adjustments were made for permanent tax adjustments:
ACCUMULATED NET REALIZED GAIN (LOSS) | UNDISTRIBUTED NET INVESTMENT INCOME (LOSS) | PAID IN CAPITAL | |||||||||

Buffalo Small Cap Fund | (18,094,058 | ) | 6,118,938 | 11,975,120 |
The permanent differences primarily relate to net operating losses and sales of securities with differing book and tax methods of amortization.

REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
The Boards of Directors and Shareholders of Buffalo Balanced Fund, Inc.
Buffalo High Yield Fund, Inc.
Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Inc.
Buffalo Funds
Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Inc.
Buffalo USA Global Fund, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Buffalo Balanced Fund, Inc., Buffalo High Yield Fund, Inc., Buffalo Large Cap Fund, Inc., Buffalo Funds (comprised of the Buffalo Micro Cap Fund, Buffalo Mid Cap Fund and Buffalo Science & Technology Fund), Buffalo Small Cap Fund, Inc. and Buffalo USA Global Fund, Inc. (the Funds) as of March 31, 2005, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with 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 are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2005, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds referred to above at March 31, 2005, the results of its operations, changes in their net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT
ADVISORY CONTRACTS
The Buffalo Funds Board has renewed the Investment Management Agreement with Kornitzer Capital Management, Inc. (“KCM”) for each of the Funds. After evaluating the services provided by KCM and reviewing the performance and relevant expenses of the Funds, the Board concluded that it was in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders to retain KCM for an additional year.
The Board’s evaluation of the investment advisory arrangements included a review of historical investment performance information of the Funds, fee and expense information of the Funds, and information regarding the nature and quality of the management and advisory services provided by KCM, the qualifications and the performance of the investment and management personnel who service the Funds. The independent Board members met in executive session with counsel to discuss their fiduciary duties and the relevant factors they should consider during their evaluation.
The Board was satisfied that the peer group and indices comparisons were relevant and that the performance record demonstrated that the Funds continued to receive high quality advisory services. The Board was satisfied with the long-term investment performance of the Funds. The Directors were also satisfied with the qualifications, expertise and overall performance of the Funds’ portfolio management team as well as the Funds’ management team responsible for Fund operations and compliance. The Board noted the following additional benefits to the Funds of renewing the Agreements: the commitment of the manager to enhancing distribution; the experience of KCM in managing funds; and the use of the Kornitzer name. Based on these considerations, the Board determined that KCM has provided and would be able to continue to provide services of a quality and nature that is satisfactory to the Board.
Regarding the costs of the services to be provided and profits to be realized by the manager and its affiliates from the relationship with the Funds, the Directors considered the size of the Funds and the information provided by KCM stating that it was not yet experiencing economies of scale that can be passed on the shareholders in the form of breakpoints. The Board compared the advisory fees and the overall expense ratios of each of the Funds to those of similar funds and determined that the fee and expense levels were competitive and therefore reasonable.
In voting unanimously to approve the renewal of each Agreement, the Board considered all relevant factors and each factor on a Fund by Fund basis. The Board did not identify any single factor as being of paramount importance and each Director gave varying weights to each factor according to his own judgment. The Directors determined that they had received adequate information and were able to conclude that the continuation of the Agreements would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.
