SEMIANNUAL REPORT
September 30, 2000
MESSAGE
To Our Shareholders
Once again, the Buffalo Funds have provided outstanding performance, with each
of the Funds beating its peer group year-to-date as of September 30, 2000 (see
performance chart on page 4). While past performance is no guarantee of future
results, within each Fund's investment objective the portfolio managers focus
their research on the investment's quality and value rather than whether a
purchase fits a certain category, class or rating, and this strategy has been
well-rewarded.
Another result of the careful management of the Funds has been their tax
efficiency. Careful portfolio management means that portfolio securities are
sold when it is appropriate to do so for investment reasons, but we are also
very sensitive to the tax ramifications of those sales. We have been very
fortunate, and while it will be a difficult year to avoid making capital gains
distributions, we are taking proactive steps to minimize the tax consequences of
the gains we have experienced. Information about distributions is available on
our web site at www.buffalofunds.com, and is updated throughout the year.
As of September 30, the Buffalo Funds included about 12,100 accounts, totaling
$202 million in assets under management. Please see the Portfolio Management
Review immediately following this letter, which contains information on the
investment approach used by investment counsel, Kornitzer Capital Management,
Inc., along with commentary on the markets and the performance of the Funds.
Should you have any comments or questions concerning your investments, please
contact us at 1-800-49-BUFFALO or visit our web site. Thank you for your
continued confidence and support.
Sincerely,
/s/Stephen S. Soden

Portfolio Management Review
We want to thank all of our shareholders for their continued support of the
Buffalo Funds and Kornitzer Capital Management Inc. We are pleased to report
continued strong results. In May of this year the Buffalo Equity, USA Global and
High Yield Funds all celebrated their five-year anniversaries with favorable
performance since inception relative to their comparable indices. We continue to
vigilantly adhere to our investment discipline through the extreme stock market
volatility and precarious macroeconomic environment. Our conviction level has
increased, as we focus on longer-term trends and invest accordingly. We are
enthusiastic about the continued performance of the Buffalo Funds and believe
the future for equity securities looks bright.
With all the Buffalo Funds, our strategy is to remain focused on the longer-term
trends, which we believe allows us to more easily separate information from
noise. As we identify trends that are developing with a high degree of
certainty, we believe we can be much more prescient, enabling us to invest
opportunistically. For example, we view the recent stock market volatility,
especially in the technology sector, as an opportunity to add to existing
positions and add new securities to the portfolios. In addition to our focus on
long-term trends, we pay close attention to valuation and use patience to buy
securities with favorable risk/reward characteristics. According to the Buffalo
Funds' performance numbers, the strategy is working, but we refuse to be
overcome with hubris and believe a continual reevaluation of every security in
the portfolios is required. We will not allow ourselves to become complacent.
Our strategy of continual security evaluation and diversification has benefited
the Buffalo Funds through the increased stock market volatility. As a result of
higher short-term interest rates, orchestrated by the Federal Reserve Chairman
Alan Greenspan, and a surge in oil prices, the economy is beginning to
decelerate. Unfortunately the above-mentioned factors have also put pressure on
corporate earnings, especially in the technology sector. The technology-heavy
Nasdaq Composite Index is down approximately 9.7% year-to-date and about 19.7%
since the end of March. From its high registered on March 10, the Nasdaq
Composite Index is down a whopping 27%. In these volatile markets our
diversification efforts have paid off handsomely and insulated the Buffalo Funds
from the sell-off in high P/E stocks. Year-to-date the Buffalo Balanced Fund,
Equity Fund, High Yield Fund, Small Cap Fund and USA Global Fund are up 9.1%,
19.7%, 5.0%, 35.2% and 11.3% (price change and reinvested distributions),
respectively, all outperforming their appropriate indices.
Although the near-term stock market volatility can be challenging, we view it as
a bump in the road, and we are using it as an opportunity to buy well-managed,
financially strong companies at depressed valuation levels. Peering through all
the near-term noise, we believe the long-term future is very bright. Although
the economy is decelerating, we view this as a positive, as it is much more
likely that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will hold short-term rates
steady or begin a process of lowering rates. Regarding oil, we believe if oil
production is maintained at its current pace, oil prices will eventually begin
to fall. Lower oil prices along with stable to lower short-term interest rates
bode well for the stock market. Furthermore, a tight labor market and rising
labor costs have caused inflation fears, but productivity growth, which has
increased at an estimated 4%, has kept inflation in check. Going forward, we
believe productivity gains have become more secular as a result of continued
investment in technology, which we see as very positive for the overall economy
and stock market.
We look forward to reviewing all the Funds with you in future letters. All of us
on the KCM research team thank you for your confidence in our management of the
Buffalo Funds. As fellow shareholders we are fully committed to your financial
success in the future.
Sincerely,

NOTES TO FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as diversified open-end management investment companies. 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, bonds and options traded on a
national securities exchange or national market are valued at the latest sales
price thereof, or if no sale was reported on that date, the mean between the
closing bid and asked price is used.
Securities which are traded over-the-counter are priced at the mean between the
latest bid and asked price. Securities not currently traded are valued at fair
value as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors. 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 and State Taxes -- The Funds complied with the requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and
therefore, no provision for federal or state tax is required. The Buffalo
Balanced, Equity, High Yield, Small Cap and USA Global Funds designate $0,
$1,600,799, $0, $0 and $4,470,133, respectively as long-term capital gain
dividends. The Buffalo High Yield Fund has an accumulated net realized loss on
sales of investments for federal income tax purposes of $98,388, which expires
in 2007.
C. Options -- In order to produce incremental earnings and protect gains, the
Funds may write covered call options on portfolio securities. When a Fund writes
an option, an amount equal to the premium received is reflected as an asset and
an equivalent liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked to
market to reflect the current market value of the option written. If an option
which a Fund has written either expires on its stipulated expiration date or if
a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the Fund realizes a gain (or
loss if the cost of a closing purchase transaction exceeds the premium received
when the option was written) without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on
the underlying security and the liability related to such option is
extinguished. If a call option which the Fund has written is exercised, the Fund
realizes a capital gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the
proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. The
primary risks associated with the use of options are an imperfect correlation
between the change in market value of the securities held by the Fund and the
price of the option, the possibility of an illiquid market, and the inability of
the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. There were no outstanding
written covered call options as of September 30, 2000 or any transactions during
the period then ended.
D. Investment Transactions and Investment Income -- Investment transactions are
accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income
is recorded on the ex- dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the
accrual basis and includes accretion of market discounts. Premiums on debt
securities are not amortized. Realized gains and losses from investment
transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments are
reported on the identified cost basis.
E. 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 amounts related to redemptions of shares as a part of the
deduction for dividends paid for income tax purposes and deferral of post
October and wash sale losses.
F. Use of Estimates -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted 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.
