1.ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Brown Capital Management Small Company Fund (“Small Company Fund”), The Brown Capital Management International All Company Fund (“International All Company Fund”) and The Brown Capital Management International Small Company Fund (“International Small Company Fund”) (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) are each a series portfolio of Brown Capital Management Mutual Funds (the “Trust”). The Trust is a Delaware statutory trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-ended management investment company. Each of the Funds in this report are classified as a diversified, open-end management investment company, as those terms are defined in the 1940 Act. The Funds currently offer Investor Class and Institutional Class Shares.
The primary investment objective of the Small Company Fund is to seek long- term capital appreciation. Current income is a secondary consideration in selecting portfolio investments. The Small Company Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of those companies with operating revenues of $500 million or less at the time of initial investment.
The primary investment objective of the International All Company Fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Current income is a secondary consideration in selecting portfolio investments. The International All Company Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing substantially of its assets in equity securities of non-U.S. based companies.

Investment Valuation
The Funds’ investments in securities are carried at value. Securities listed on an exchange or quoted on a national market system are valued at the last sales price as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday. Securities that are principally traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation (“NASDAQ”) exchange are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). Other securities that are traded in the domestic over- the-counter market and listed securities for which last sales price is available, are generally valued at the last sales price as of the valuation time. In the absence of sales and NOCP, such securities are valued at the most recent bid price. Securities and assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or which cannot be accurately valued using the Funds’ normal pricing procedures are valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. The Board has appointed the Advisor as valuation designee to be responsible for all fair value determinations for the Funds. Fair value pricing may be used, for example, in situations where (i) a security, such as a small-cap stock, mid-cap stock, or foreign security, is so thinly traded that there have been no transactions for that stock over an extended period of time or the validity of a market quotation received is questionable; (ii) an event occurs after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security is principally traded that is likely to have changed the value of the security prior to a Fund’s net asset value calculation; (iii) the exchange on which the security is principally traded closes early; or (iv) trading of the particular portfolio security is halted during the day and does not resume prior to a Fund’s net asset value calculation. A security’s “fair value” price may differ from the price next available for that security using the Funds’ normal pricing procedures. Instruments with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Fair Value Measurement
In accordance with GAAP, the Funds use a three-tier hierarchy 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. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are 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 that are developed based on the best information available.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that a Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date;
Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 – Significant unobservable prices or inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) where there is little or no market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
An investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in the aggregate, that is significant to fair value measurement. The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the period ended June 30, 2025, maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

**The Level 3 Security has zero value.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Funds’ assets as of June 30, 2025.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.
As of June 30, 2025, the Small Company held assets in which significant unobservable inputs were used determining fair value (Level 3). These assets were valued at $ - (0% of net assets). As the value of the Level 3 security is not material to the financial statements, no additional Level 3 disclosures are presented. There were not transfers in or out of Level 3 securities and the value did not change during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation (International All Company Fund and International Small Company Fund)
Portfolio securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the exchange rate of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation.

Notes to Schedules of Investments - continued June 30, 2025 (unaudited)
Foreign Currency Spot Contracts (International All Company Fund and International Small Company Fund)
Derivative instruments include foreign currency spot trades. The Funds may enter into such derivative instruments primarily to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks on its non-U.S. dollar denominated investment securities. When entering into a foreign currency spot contract the Fund agrees to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price typically within two business days.
Affiliated Companies
If a Fund owns 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities, either directly or indirectly, of a particular issuer, the 1940 Act deems such an issuer to be an “affiliate” of the Fund. As of and during the three months ended June 30, 2025, International Small Company Fund owned 5% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the issuers identified in the table below and therefore those issuers are considered affiliates of that Fund for purposes of the 1940 Act.
