NOTE A–ORGANIZATION

Northeast Investors Growth Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified, no-load, open-end, series-type management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund presently consists of one portfolio and is organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

The Fund’s objective is to produce long-term capital appreciation for its shareholders. The Fund maintains a flexible investment policy which primarily targets common stocks of large domestic companies. The Fund emphasizes well-known companies which it believes to have strong management, solid financial fundamentals and which are established leaders in their industries. The Fund generally invests in companies with market capitalizations in excess of $10 billion.

NOTE B–SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies of the Fund, which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) are as follows:

Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments: Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges are valued based upon closing prices on the exchanges or last sales price. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities with no sales on the date of valuation are valued at closing bid prices. Repurchase agreements are valued at cost, which approximates market value with earned interest included in interest receivable. Other short-term investments, when held by the Fund, are valued at cost plus earned discount or interest which approximates market value.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable (including restricted securities, if any) are valued at their fair value as determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. Methodologies and factors used to determine fair value of securities may include, but are not limited to, contractual restrictions, information of any recent sales, the analysis of the company’s financial statements, quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services and information obtained from analysts. The Fund may use fair value pricing for foreign securities if a material event occurs that may effect the price of a security after the close of the foreign market or exchange (or on days the foreign market is closed) but before the Fund prices its portfolio, generally at 4:00 p.m. EST. Fair value pricing may also be used for securities acquired as a result of corporate restructurings or reorganizations as reliable market quotations for such issues may not be readily available. At December 31, 2013 there were no securities priced at fair value as determined in good faith.

Investment Transactions: Investment transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.

Investment Income: Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of applicable withholding taxes.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income taxes is necessary since the Fund has elected to qualify under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and its policy is to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including net realized capital gains, within the prescribed time periods.

As of and during the year ended December 31, 2013, management of the Fund does not believe there are unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognized interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the year ended, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years 2010 through 2013.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders: Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. Permanent book and tax differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. The Fund’s distributions and dividend income are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Indemnification: In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims against the Fund that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Net Asset Value: In determining the net asset value per share, rounding adjustments are made for fractions of a cent to the next higher cent.

Concentration of Credit Risk: The Fund places its cash with one banking institution, which is insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The FDIC limit is $250,000. At various times throughout the year, the amount on deposit may exceed the FDIC limit and subject the Fund to a credit risk. The Fund does not believe that such deposits are subject to any unusual risk associated with investment activities.

Subsequent Events: In accordance with U.S. GAAP, management has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. All subsequent events determined to be relevant and material to these financial statements as a whole have been accordingly disclosed.

NOTE C–FUND ADMINISTRATION, ACCOUNTING, TRANSFER AGENCY, SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

ALPS Fund Services, Inc. (“ALPS”) serves as Fund administrator for which it is compensated by the Fund. ALPS also serves as fund accountant, transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent. ALPS carries out all functions related to the maintenance of shareholder accounts, acquisition and redemption of shares and mailings to shareholders. ALPS also determines the Fund’s Net Asset Value.

Prior to December 2, 2013 State Street Bank & Trust Company acted as Custodian for the Fund. Effective December 2, 2013 the Fund appointed Union Bank to act as custodian of portfolio securities and other assets.

NOTE D–INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SERVICE CONTRACT

Northeast Management & Research Company, Inc. (“NMR”) provides the Fund with the services of a Chief Compliance Officer and anti-money laundering officer. The Fund has an investment advisory and service contract with NMR (the “Advisor”). Under the contract, the Fund pays the Advisor an annual fee at a maximum rate of 1.00% of the first $10,000,000 of the Fund’s average daily net assets, 3/4 of 1.00% of the next $20,000,000 and 1/2 of 1.00% of the average daily net assets in excess of $30,000,000, in monthly installments on the basis of the average daily net assets during the month preceding payment.

Under the Fund’s Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Agreement”), personnel of the Advisor provide the Fund with advice and assistance in the choice of investments and the execution of securities transactions, and otherwise maintain the Fund’s organization. Compensation to officers of the Fund or Advisor for services rendered to the Fund or to the Advisor are paid by the Advisor. Messrs. John C. Emery, Michael Baldwin, and F. Washington Jarvis, the Fund’s disinterested Trustees, are not officers or directors of the Advisor. The compensation of all disinterested Trustees of the Fund is borne by the Fund.

NOTE E–PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments, other than short-term securities, aggregated $61,297,858 and $75,317,480, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

NOTE G–LINE OF CREDIT

Short-term bank borrowings, which do not require maintenance of compensating balances, are generally on a demand basis and are at rates equal to adjusted money market interest rates in effect during the period in which such loans are outstanding. In addition the Fund pays a commitment fee of 0.125% per annum, payable at the end of each quarter based on the unused portion of the line of credit. The committed line of credit may be terminated at the bank’s option at the annual renewal date. During the year ended December 31, 2013, interest expense related to the line of credit was $14,381.

The following information relates to aggregate short-term borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2013:

As of November 29, 2013 the Fund terminated the existing line of credit.

The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

At December 31, 2013 the Fund’s aggregate security unrealized gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes was as follows:

NOTE I–REPURCHASE AGREEMENT

On a daily basis, the Fund invests any cash balances into repurchase agreements hypothecated by U.S. Government obligations. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by the Fund’s custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the agreement ensure that the market value of the collateral is sufficient in the event of default. However, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. As of November 29, 2013 the Fund ended its participation in the existing Repurchase Agreement.

NOTE J–SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund may seek additional income by lending portfolio securities to qualified institutions. The Fund will receive cash as collateral in an amount equal to at least 102% of the current market value of any loaned securities plus accrued interest. By reinvesting any cash collateral it receives in these transactions, the Fund could realize additional gains and losses. If the borrower fails to return the securities and the value of the collateral has declined during the term of the loan, the Fund will bear the loss. At December 31, 2013, no securities were loaned and the value

no collateral was received. During the year ended December 31, 2013, income from securities lending amounted to $4,225. As of November 29, 2013 the Fund ended its participation in securities lending.

NOTE K–FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting Standards Codification ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820) established a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and the Fund’s own market assumptions (unobservable inputs). The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The various inputs that may be used to determine the value of the Fund’s investments are summarized in the following fair value hierarchy:

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 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 Fund to measure fair value during the year ended December 31, 2013 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs.

The following table summarizes the Fund’s investments as of December 31, 2013, based on the inputs used to value them.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, there have been no significant changes to the Fund’s fair value methodologies. Additionally, there were no transfers into or out of Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended December 31, 2013. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers at the end of the reporting period.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund did not have significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in determining fair value.

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of

Northeast Investors Growth Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Northeast Investors Growth Fund (a Massachusetts trust) (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended and changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the two 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 based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of the preceding three years in the period ended December 31, 2011, were audited by other auditors. Those auditors expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights in their report dated February 27, 2012.

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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s 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 Fund’s 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, 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 December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian. 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 Northeast Investors Growth Fund as of December 31, 2013, and 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 two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
