Harding, Loevner Funds, Inc.
Expense Example
April 30, 2012 (unaudited)
As a shareholder of a Harding Loevner Portfolio, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; to the extent applicable, distribution (12b-1) fees, and/or shareholder services fees and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Portfolio 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 on November 1, 2011 and held for the entire six month period from November 1, 2011 to April 30, 2012.
Actual Expenses
The first line under each Portfolio in 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 for your Portfolio 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 under each Portfolio in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. 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 your Portfolio 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. Therefore, the second line under each Portfolio in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies of the Fund are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for investment companies. The following is a summary of the Fund’s significant accounting policies:
Indemnifications
Under the Fund’s organizational document, its officers and Board of Directors (“Board”) are indemnified against certain liability arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolios. In the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Valuation
The Board has adopted procedures (“Procedures”) to govern the valuation of the securities held by each Portfolio of the Fund in accordance with the 1940 Act. The Procedures incorporate principles set forth in relevant pronouncements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and its staff, including guidance on the obligations of the Portfolios and their Directors to determine, in good faith, the fair value of the Portfolios’ securities when market quotations are not readily available.
In determining a Portfolio’s net asset value (“NAV”), each equity security traded on a securities exchange, including the NASDAQ Stock Market, and over-the-counter securities, are first valued at the closing price on the exchange or market designated by the Fund’s accounting agent as the principal exchange (each, a “principal exchange”). The closing price provided by the Fund’s accounting agent for a principal exchange may differ from the price quoted elsewhere and may represent information such as last sales price, an official closing price, a closing auction price or other information, depending on exchange or market convention. Shares of open-end mutual funds are valued at NAV. Such securities are typically categorized as “Level 1” pursuant to the hierarchy described below.
Since trading in many foreign securities is normally completed before the time at which a Portfolio calculates its NAV, the effect on the value of such securities held by a Portfolio of events that occur between the close of trading in the security and the time at which the Portfolio prices its securities would not be reflected in the Portfolio’s calculation of its NAV if foreign securities were generally valued at their closing prices.
To address this issue, the Board has approved daily fair value pricing of certain foreign equity securities. The fair value pricing utilizes quantitative models developed by an independent pricing service, which may provide an adjustment to the closing prices described above. Use of fair value pricing could cause a Portfolio to value a security higher, lower or equal to its closing market price, which in turn could cause the Portfolio’s NAV per share to differ significantly from that which would have been calculated using closing market prices. The use of fair value pricing is also intended to decrease the opportunities for persons to engage in “time zone arbitrage,” i.e., trading intended to take advantage of stale closing prices in foreign markets that could affect the NAV of the Portfolios. Securities priced in this manner are not specifically designated on the Portfolios’ Schedules of Investments as being “fair valued”; however, absent the use of significant unobservable inputs into their valuation, securities priced higher or lower than their closing market price would be categorized as “Level 2” pursuant to the hierarchy described below.
Any securities for which market quotations are not readily available or for which available prices are deemed unreliable are priced by the Investment Adviser at “fair value”, in accordance with the Procedures. Such securities are identified on the Portfolios’ Statements of Net Assets as securities valued at “fair value” and absent the use of significant unobservable inputs into their valuation, such securities would be categorized as “Level 2” pursuant to the hierarchy described below.
GAAP includes a topic which establishes a hierarchy for NAV determination purposes in which various inputs are used in determining the value of each Portfolio’s assets or liabilities. This topic defines fair value as the price that the Portfolio would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. This topic establishes a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability including assumptions about risk. Such risks include the inherent risk in a particular valuation technique which is used to measure fair value. This may include the pricing model and/or the inputs to the pricing model used in the valuation technique. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability 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 developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
| | |
Level 1 | | unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Level 2 | | other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.). |
Level 3 | | significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The Portfolios disclose significant transfers between levels based on valuations at the end of each reporting period. Other than transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 related to the daily fair value pricing of certain foreign equity securities described above, at April 30, 2012, there were no significant transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 based on levels assigned to securities on October 31, 2011. GAAP provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate when a transaction is not orderly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Securities
All securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date (except for certain foreign dividends that may be recorded as soon as the Portfolio is informed of such dividends). The Portfolios accrete discount or amortize premium using the effective interest method on a daily basis as adjustments to interest income and the cost of investments. The Portfolios use the specific identification method for determining realized gains or losses from sales of securities.
Expenses
Expenses directly attributed to a specific Portfolio of the Fund are charged to that Portfolio’s operations; expenses not directly attributable to a specific Portfolio are allocated among all the Portfolios of the Fund either based on their average daily net assets or by other equitable measures. Pursuant to the Fund’s multiple-class expense allocation plan, certain expenses are allocated to particular classes of the Portfolios.
Dividends to Shareholders
It is the policy of the Portfolios to declare dividends from net investment income annually. Net short-term and long-term capital gains distributions for the Portfolios, if any, normally are distributed on an annual basis.
Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains from investment transactions have been determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains recorded by the Portfolios for financial reporting purposes. Differences result primarily from foreign currency transactions and timing differences related to recognition of income, and gains and losses from investment transactions. In general, to the extent that any differences which are permanent in nature result in over distributions to shareholders, the amount of the over distribution is reclassified within the capital accounts based on its federal tax basis treatment and may be reported as return of capital. Temporary differences do not require reclassification.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Currency Translation
Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and commitments under forward foreign currency exchange contracts are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and asked prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of the Portfolios’ securities are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated at exchange rates prevailing when accrued. The Portfolios do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Net realized gains and losses from foreign currency-related transactions arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolios’ books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at the period end, resulting from changes in the exchange rates.
3. Significant Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates
The Board has approved an investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Investment Adviser. Advisory fees are computed daily and paid monthly based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio. The Investment Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce its fee and/or reimburse the Portfolios for other operating expenses to the extent that aggregate expenses, excluding certain non-operating expenses, exceed certain annual rates of the average daily net assets of each class.
Beginning November 1, 2011 and through December 31, 2012, the following annualized advisory fees and contractual expense limits are in effect:
| | | | | | |
Portfolio | | Advisory Fees on assets up to $1 billion | | Advisory Fees on assets over $1 billion | | Contractual Expense Limit |
Global Equity – Institutional Class | | 0.95% | | 0.93% | | 0.95% |

International Small Companies – Institutional Class | | 1.25% | | 1.23% | | 1.50% |
International Small Companies – Investor Class | | 1.25% | | 1.23% | | 1.75% |

| | |
Portfolio | | Fees waived and/or reimbursed by the Investment Adviser |
Global Equity – Institutional Class | | $124,399 |

3. Significant Agreements and Transactions with Affiliates (continued)
The Fund has an administration agreement with The Northern Trust Company (“Northern Trust”), which provides certain accounting, clerical and bookkeeping services, Blue Sky, corporate secretarial services and assistance in the preparation and filing of tax returns and reports to shareholders and the SEC.
Northern Trust also serves as custodian of each Portfolio’s securities and cash, transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with any accumulation, open-account or similar plans provided to the shareholders of the Portfolios.
Foreside Compliance Services, LLC (“FCS”) provides an individual to serve as chief compliance officer of the Fund. Foreside Management Services, LLC (“FMS”) provides an individual to serve as chief financial officer and treasurer of the Fund. Fees paid to FCS and FMS are shown as “Chief compliance and financial officers’ fees and expenses” on the Statements of Operations.
The Fund has adopted an Amended Plan of Distribution pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (“Distribution Plan”). Under the Distribution Plan, the Investor Class of each of the International Equity, International Small Companies and Frontier Emerging Markets Portfolios may pay underwriters, distributors, dealers or brokers a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Portfolio’s Investor Class shares for services or expenses arising in connection with activities primarily intended to result in the sale of Investor Class shares of the Portfolios.
The Fund, on behalf of the Portfolios, has agreements with various financial intermediaries and “mutual fund supermarkets”, under which customers of these intermediaries may purchase and hold Portfolio shares. These intermediaries assess fees in consideration for providing certain distribution, account maintenance, record keeping and transactional services. In recognition of the savings of expenses to the Fund arising from the intermediaries’ assumption of functions that the Fund would otherwise perform, such as providing sub-accounting and related shareholder services, each Portfolio or class is authorized, pursuant to a Shareholder Servicing Plan, to pay to each intermediary an annual rate of up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to that intermediary (subject to the contractual expense limits described above). The balance of the intermediaries’ fees, after payments made pursuant to the Distribution Plan, if applicable, is paid by the Investment Adviser. Because of the contractual expense limits on certain Portfolios’ fees and expenses, the Investment Adviser paid a portion of the Portfolios’ share of these fees during the period ended April 30, 2012.
4. Class Specific Expenses
Most expenses of the Fund can be directly attributed to a particular Portfolio. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned among the Portfolios based upon relative net assets or other appropriate measures. If an expense is incurred at the Portfolio level, it is generally apportioned among the classes of that Portfolio based upon relative net assets of each respective class. Certain expenses are incurred at the class level and charged only to that particular class of shares. These expenses may be class specific (i.e. Distribution fees charged only to a particular share class) or they may be identifiable to a particular class (i.e. the costs related to printing and mailing shareholder reports to shareholders of a particular class). Class specific expenses for Portfolios with multiple active classes of shares are shown in the table below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio | | Distribution Fees | | | State Registration and Filing Fees | | | Printing and Postage Fees | | | Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses | | | Shareholder Servicing Fees | |

6. Income Tax
The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and the components of net unrealized appreciation / (depreciation) on investments at April 30, 2012, for each of the Portfolios were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Portfolio | | Gross Unrealized Appreciation | | Gross Unrealized Depreciation | | Net Unrealized Appreciation / (Depreciation) | | Cost |
Global Equity | | $ 47,806,638 | | | | $ (2,890,170) | | | | $ 44,916,468 | | | | $ 210,554,843 | | |
International Equity | | 211,600,201 | | | | (57,410,427) | | | | 154,189,774 | | | | 1,527,518,454 | | |
International Small Companies | | 6,210,539 | | | | (3,167,300) | | | | 3,043,239 | | | | 57,420,963 | | |
Institutional Emerging Markets | | 72,640,358 | | | | (11,929,165) | | | | 60,711,193 | | | | 327,658,592 | | |

Frontier Emerging Markets | | 6,579,493 | | | | (8,109,176) | | | | (1,529,683) | | | | 67,016,537 | | |
The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on foreign currency for Global Equity, International Equity, International Small Companies, Institutional Emerging Markets, Emerging Markets and Frontier Emerging Markets was $12,506, $78,950, $1,134, $(15,813), $30,340 and $6, respectively, at April 30, 2012.
It is the policy of each Portfolio of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it from substantially all federal income and excise taxes therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Management has performed an analysis of each Portfolio’s tax positions for the open tax years as of October 31, 2011 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Portfolios’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years (open tax years: October 31, 2009; October 31, 2010; October 31, 2011) remain subject to examination by the Portfolios’ major tax jurisdictions, which include the United States, the State of New Jersey and the State of Maryland. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next twelve months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Portfolios. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.
During the year ended October 31, 2011, distributions paid from ordinary income on a tax basis were $290,000, $2,500,077, $47,000, $1,078,916, $8,430,123 and $146,644 for Global Equity, International Equity, International Small Companies, Institutional Emerging Markets, Emerging Markets, and Frontier Emerging Markets, respectively.
During the year ended October 31, 2011, distributions paid from long-term capital gains on a tax basis were $1,052,137 for Global Equity.

6. Income Tax (continued)
On December 22, 2010, the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted, which changed various technical rules governing the tax treatment of regulated investment companies. The changes are generally effective for taxable years beginning after the date of enactment, or in the Fund’s case, on November 1, 2011. Under the Act, the Portfolios will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after the date of enactment for an unlimited period; however, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years, which carry an expiration date. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carry forwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment capital loss carry forwards will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as permitted under previous law.
At October 31, 2011, Institutional Emerging Markets had $8,577,340 available as pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards which expire in 2016. Institutional Emerging Markets, Emerging Markets and Frontier Emerging Markets had $29,793,794, $8,689,218 and $1,252,470, respectively, available as pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards which expire in 2017. International Small Companies had $197,097 available as pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards which expire in 2018. Institutional Emerging Markets and Frontier Emerging Markets had $3,834,973 and $4,237,229, respectively, available as pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards which expire in 2019.
7. Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Portfolios, on occasion, enter into forward foreign exchange contracts in order to hedge their exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates on their foreign portfolio holdings. A forward foreign exchange contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the cost of the original contracts and the closing of such contracts is included in net realized gains or losses on foreign currency-related transactions. Fluctuations in the value of forward foreign exchange contracts are recorded for book purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies by the Portfolios. The Portfolios are also exposed to credit risk associated with counterparty nonperformance on these forward foreign exchange contracts which is typically limited to the unrealized gain on each open contract.
The Portfolios enter into foreign currency transactions on the spot markets in order to pay for foreign investment purchases or to convert to dollars the proceeds from foreign investment sales or coupon interest receipts. The Portfolios held no open forward foreign currency exchange contracts on April 30, 2012.
8. Participation Notes
Each Portfolio may invest in participation notes. Participation notes are promissory notes that are designed to offer a return linked to the performance of a particular underlying equity security or market. Participation notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and allow a Portfolio to gain exposure to common stocks in markets where direct investment may not be allowed. Participation notes are generally traded over-the-counter and are subject to the risk that the broker-dealer or bank that issues them will not fulfill its contractual obligation to complete the transaction with a Portfolio. Participation notes constitute general unsecured contractual obligations of the banks or broker-dealers that issue them, and a Portfolio investing in participation notes would be relying on the creditworthiness of such banks or broker-dealers and would have no rights under a participation note against the issuer of the underlying assets. Participation notes may be more volatile and less liquid than other investments held by the Portfolios.

10. Concentration of Ownership
At April 30, 2012, the percentage of total shares outstanding held by record shareholders each owning 10% or greater of the aggregate shares outstanding of each Portfolio were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | No. of Shareholders | | | | % Ownership | | |
Global Equity | | 3 | | | | 60.12%* | | |
International Equity | | 2 | | | | 41.30%* | | |
International Small Companies | | 2 | | | | 54.49%* | | |
Institutional Emerging Markets | | 2 | | | | 45.18%* | | |
Emerging Markets | | 3 | | | | 79.86%* | | |
Frontier Emerging Markets | | 2 | | | | 38.49%* | | |
* Includes omnibus positions of broker-dealers representing numerous shareholder accounts.
Investment activities of these shareholders may have a material effect on the Portfolios.
11. Concentration of Risk
Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with investments in U.S. issuers. These risks include revaluation of currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Portfolios are authorized to invest.
Frontier Emerging Markets is permitted to invest up to 35% of its net assets in companies in the same industry, if, at the time of investment, that industry represents 20% or more of the Portfolio’s benchmark index. During periods when the Portfolio has invested more than 25% of its net assets in companies in the same industry, it will operate as a concentrated portfolio and be subject to additional risks and greater volatility. At April 30, 2012, the Portfolio’s investment in the Commercial Banking industry amounted to 27.9% of net assets.
12. Line of Credit
The Fund has a $100 million line of credit agreement with Northern Trust ($50 million prior to March 9, 2012). Borrowings would be made solely to facilitate the handling of redemptions or unusual or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Because several Portfolios participate, and collateral requirements apply, there is no assurance that an individual Portfolio will have access to the entire $100 million at any particular time. Interest is charged to each Portfolio based on its borrowings at an amount above the Federal Funds rate. In addition, a facility fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.10% on the line of credit and is allocated among the Portfolios. For the period ended April 30, 2012, Institutional Emerging Markets Portfolio had an outstanding balance on four days with a maximum balance of $1,600,000 at an average weighted interest rate of 1.75%, Emerging Markets Portfolio had an outstanding balance on four days with a maximum balance of $2,500,000 at an average weighted interest rate of 1.75% and Frontier Emerging Markets Portfolio had an outstanding balance on twenty-six days with a maximum balance of $10,000,000 at an average weighted interest rate of 1.75%.
13. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”), modifying Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820. At the same time, the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued International Financial Reporting Standard (“IFRS”) 13, Fair Value Measurement. The objective of the FASB and IASB is convergence of their guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures. Specifically, ASU 2011- 04 requires reporting entities to disclose 1) the amounts of and reasons for any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2, and 2) for Level 3 fair value measurements: a) quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used, b) a description of the valuation procedures used by the reporting entity, and c) a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs if a change in those inputs might result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The effective date of ASU 2011- 04 is for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2012. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of this requirement and the impact it will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
