AMIDEX Funds, Inc.
c/o Matrix Capital Group, Inc.
1. | ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
AMIDEXTM Funds, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated under the laws of the state of Maryland on April 27, 1999, and currently consists of two active portfolios, the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund, and the AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively the "Funds"). The Funds are non-diversified Funds. As non-diversified Funds, they may invest a significant portion of their assets in a small number of companies. The Company is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act"). The Funds were registered to offer four classes of shares, Class A, Class B, Class C and No-load class, with only the Class A, Class C and No-load shares currently being offered in the AMIDEX35 TM Israel Mutual Fund and only Class A shares being offered in the AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund. Each class differs as to sales and redemption charges, minimum investment amounts and ongoing fees. Income and realized/unrealized gains or losses are allocated to each class based on relative share balances. The Funds’ investment objectives are long term growth of capital. The AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund became effective with the SEC on April 27, 1999 and commenced operations on June 8, 1999. The AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund became effective with the SEC on August 1, 2001 and commenced operations on November 1, 2001.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
a) Investment Valuation—A portfolio security listed or traded on an exchange in domestic or international markets is valued at the last reported sale price of the primary exchange on which it trades before the time when the Funds value assets. Lacking any sales on the principal exchange that day, the security is valued at the mean between the last reported bid and ask prices, if available. Securities traded on more than one market are valued using the market identified as primary based on trading volume and activity. Equity securities traded on the NASDAQ National Market System are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. If there are no sales that day, such securities will be valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotation, if available. Other over-the-counter securities are valued at the last sale price, if published, or the mean between the last bid and ask quotation, if available. Debt securities with maturities of sixty days or less at the time of purchase are valued based on amortized cost. If market quotations are not readily available, or when the portfolio management team believes that a readily available market quotation or other valuation produced by the Funds' valuation policies is not reliable, the Funds value the assets at fair value using procedures established by the Board of Directors. The Board members have delegated pricing authority to the fair valuation committee of the adviser, for certain pricing issues, as defined in the valuation procedures. Events affecting the value of securities that occur between the time prices are established and the New York Stock Exchange closes are not reflected in the calculation of net asset value unless the fair valuation committee decides that the event would materially affect the net asset value. If the event would materially affect the Funds' net asset values, the security will be fair valued by the fair valuation committee or, at its discretion, by an independent fair valuation vendor. At May 31, 2009, no securities were valued as determined by the Board of Directors.
The Funds adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 ("SFAS 157") on June 1, 2008. In accordance with SFAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that would be received by a Fund upon selling an asset or paid by a Fund to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In the absence of a principal market for the asset or liability, the assumption is that the transaction occurs on the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. SFAS 157 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the assumptions, also known as “inputs,” to valuation techniques used by market participants to measure fair value. The term “inputs” refers broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value (such as a pricing model) and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. 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 valuation techniques used to measure fair value should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized in three levels with the highest priority given to Level 1 and the lowest priority given to Level 3.

SFAS No. 157—Summary of Fair Value Exposure at May 31, 2009
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 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
The following is a summary of the inputs used, as of May 31, 2009 in valuing the Funds’ investments carried at fair value:
Level | | Amidex35TM Israel Mutual Fund | | | AmidexTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund | |
Level 1 | | $ | 14,257,185 | | | $ | 819,845 | |
Level 2 | | | - | | | | - | |
Level 3 | | | - | | | | - | |
Total | | $ | 14,257,185 | | | $ | 819,845 | |
* The Funds did not hold any level 3 investments during the year.
b) Foreign Currency Translation—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. Purchases and sales of securities and income items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. The Funds do not separately report the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates from changes in market prices on securities held. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period.
c) Federal Income Taxes—No provision for federal income taxes has been made since the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund and the AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund have complied to date with sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and intends to so comply in the future and to distribute all of their net investment income and realized capital gains to their shareholders.
As of and during the year ended May 31, 2009, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statements of operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. The Funds are not subject to examination by U.S. Federal tax authorities for tax years before 2006.
d) Distributions to Shareholders—Dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, will be declared and paid at least annually. Income and capital gain distributions, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that permanent financial reporting differences relating to shareholder distributions be reclassified to paid-in capital or net realized gain.

e) Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
f) Redemption fees and sales charges (loads)—Shareholders of AMIDEX35 TM Israel Mutual Fund No-load shares that redeem shares within 365 days of purchase will be assessed a redemption fee of 2.00% of the amount redeemed. The redemption fee is paid directly to and retained by the Fund, and is designed to deter excessive short-term trading and to offset brokerage commissions, market impact and other costs that may be associated with short-term money movement in and out of the Fund. A maximum sales charge of 5.50% is imposed on Class A shares of the AMIDEX35 TM Israel Mutual Fund and the AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund. Shareholders of the AMIDEX35 TM Israel Mutual Fund Class C shares are imposed a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") of 1.00% in the event of certain redemption transactions within thirteen months following such investments. The CDSC is paid directly to the Adviser to reimburse expenses incurred in providing distribution-related services to the Fund. For the year ended May 31, 2009, there were redemption fees of $21,494 paid to the AMIDEX35 TM Israel Mutual Fund and CDSC fees of $538 paid to the Adviser.
g) Expenses—Expenses incurred by the Company that do not relate to a specific Fund of the Company are allocated to the individual Funds based on each Fund’s relative net assets or another appropriate basis as determined by the Board of Directors.
h) Other—Investment and shareholder transactions are recorded on trade date. The Funds determine the gain or loss realized from the investment transactions by comparing the original cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date or as soon as information is available to the Funds and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

5. TAX MATTERS
The tax character of distributions paid for the years ended May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008 were as follows:
Fund | | Ordinary Income | | | Long-Term Capital Gains | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund | | $ | - | | | $ | 12,529 | | | $ | - | | | $ | - | |
AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund | | | - | | | | - | | | | 73,614 | | | | 167,180 | |
For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned, gross appreciation, gross depreciation, and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments at May 31, 2009 were as follows:
Fund | | Cost | | | Gross Appreciation | | | Gross Depreciation | | | Net Depreciation | |
AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund | | $ | 15,628,995 | | | $ | 4,881,869 | | | $ | (6,253,679 | ) | | $ | (1,371,810 | ) |
AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund | | $ | 904,606 | | | $ | 59,487 | | | $ | (144,248 | ) | | $ | (84,761 | ) |
The difference between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales for the AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund.
As of May 31, 2009, the Funds’ most recent fiscal year end, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund | | | AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund | |
Unrealized Depreciation | | $ | (1,371,759 | ) | | $ | (84,761 | ) |
Capital Loss Carryforwards | | | (6,463,455 | ) | | | - | |
Post-October Capital Loss | | | (393,230 | ) | | | - | |
Post-October Currency Loss | | | (1,389 | ) | | | - | |
Undistributed Capital Gains | | | - | | | | 60,973 | |
Total Distributable Earnings, Net | | $ | (8,229,833 | ) | | $ | (23,788 | ) |
The undistributed capital gains, carryforward losses and post-October losses shown above differ from corresponding accumulated net investment loss and accumulated net realized gain (loss) figures reported in the statements of asset and liabilities due to differing book/tax treatment of short-term capital gains, and certain temporary book/tax differences due to the tax deferral of post-October losses and wash sales.
Under current tax law, net capital losses realized after October 31st may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following fiscal year. The AMIDEX35 TM Israel Mutual Fund has elected to defer net capital losses as indicated in the chart below.
| | Post-October Losses | |
Fund | | Deferred | | | Utilized | |
AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund | | $ | 394,619 | | | $ | - | |
As of May 31, 2009 the Funds had capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes as follows:

5. TAX MATTERS (continued)
At May 31, 2009, the AMIDEX35 TM Israel Mutual Fund had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards of $6,463,455, which is available for offset against future capital gains, the use of a portion of which is limited by IRS regulations. To the extent this loss carryforward is used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the amount offset will not be distributed to shareholders.
6. RECLASS OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS
In accordance with accounting pronouncements, the Funds have recorded reclassifications in the capital accounts. These reclassifications have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds and are designed generally to present undistributed net investment income and paid-in capital on a tax basis which is considered to be more informative to the shareholder. As of May 31, 2009, the Funds recorded reclassifications to increase (decrease) the capital accounts as follows:
| | Net Investment Loss | | | Paid-in Capital | | | Accumulated Capital Gains | |
AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund | | $ | 72,526 | | | $ | (75,551 | ) | | $ | 3,025 | |
AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund | | $ | 26,886 | | | $ | (26,886 | ) | | | - | |
7. CONCENTRATION OF RISK
The AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund invests exclusively in common stock of Israeli companies. Investing in companies from one geographic region may pose additional risks inherent to a region's economical and political situation.
A large portion of investments held by AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund are considered investments in the technology sector of the market. All investments in common stock held by AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund are identified as belonging to the healthcare sector of the market. Investing in a single market sector may be riskier than investing in a variety of market sectors.
8. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. As of May 31, 2009, AMERITRADE, Inc. and Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. held 29.58% and 25.70% respectively, of AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund Class A shares in omnibus accounts for the sole benefit of their customers. As of May 31, 2009, Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. held 49.52% of AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund Class C shares in an omnibus account for the sole benefit of their customers.
As of May 31, 2009, Merrill Lynch Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc. held 46.58% of AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund Class A shares in an omnibus account for the sole benefit of their customers.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts that may contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide general indemnifications. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, management considers the risk of loss from such claims to be remote.

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset and Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" ("FSP 157-4"). FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.
In May 2009, FASB issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, "Subsequent Events" ("SFAS 165"). SFAS 165 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date – that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of SFAS 165 will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To The Shareholders and
Board of Directors
AMIDEX TM Funds, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of AMIDEXTM Funds, Inc. (the “Funds”), comprising AMIDEX35TM Israel Mutual Fund and AMIDEXTM Cancer Innovations & Healthcare Fund as of May 31, 2009, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of Fund 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2009 by correspondence with the Funds’ custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 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 positions of each of the Funds constituting the AMIDEXTM Funds, Inc. as of May 31, 2009, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
