PEBBLEBROOK FUND, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 2004 (UNAUDITED)
1.)
ORGANIZATION
The Pebblebrook Fund, Inc. (the ”Fund”) was organized as a non-diversified mutual fund on May 21, 2003 and commenced operations on June 23, 2003. The Fund is an open-end investment company established under the laws of Texas by Articles of Incorporation dated January 30, 2003. The Pebblebrook Fund is a value fund seeking capital appreciation. Significant accounting policies of the Fund are presented below:
2.)
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SECURITY VALUATION:
The price (net asset value) of the shares of each Fund is normally determined as of 4:00 p.m., Eastern time on each day the Fund is open for business and on any other day on which there is sufficient trading in the Fund`s securities to materially affect the net asset value. The Fund is normally open for business on every day except Saturdays, Sundays and the following holidays: New Year`s Day, Martin Luther King Day, President`s Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Securities that are traded on any exchange or on the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, a security is valued at its last bid price except when, in the Adviser`s opinion, the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value of the security. All other securities for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available are valued at their last bid price. When market quotations are not readily available, when the Adviser determines the last bid price does not accurately reflect the current value or when restricted securities are being valued, such securities are valued as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Directors.
Fixed income securities generally are valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such prices accurately reflect the fair market value of such securities. A pricing service utilizes electronic data processing techniques based on yield spreads relating to securities with similar characteristics to determine prices for normal institutional-size trading units of debt securities without regard to sale or bid prices. If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair market value of the securities, when prices are not readily available from a pricing service or when restricted or illiquid securities are being valued, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity w ith guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board of Directors, and investments in fixed income securities with a maturity of less than 60 days when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued by using the amortized cost method of valuation, which the Board of Directors has determined will represent fair value.
SECURITY TRANSACTION TIMING:
Security transactions are recorded on the date transactions are entered into (the trade date). Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded as earned. The Fund uses the identified cost basis in computing gain or loss on sale of investment securities. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities.
INCOME TAXES:
The Fund intends to comply with requirements of Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends to its shareholders. The Fund intends to distribute its net long-term capital gains and its net short-term capital gains at least once a year. Therefore no provision for income taxes is required. Federal income tax loss carryfowards generated in prior years will be used to offset a portion of current year’s net realized gains.
ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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.
3.)
INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with Cross Investment Management, LLC. (“the Adviser”). The Fund is authorized to pay the Adviser a fee equal to an annual average rate of 1.50% of the average daily net assets of the fund for investment adviser services. As a result of the above calculation, for the six months ended October 31, 2004, the Adviser received management fees totaling $4,168.
Cross Investment Management, LLC pays all operating expenses of the Fund with the exception of taxes, interest, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses.
4.)
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Control persons of Cross Investment Management, LLC. also serve as directors/officers of the Fund. These individuals receive benefits from the Adviser resulting from management fees paid to the Adviser of the Fund. The Fund has entered into agreements with Mutual Shareholder Services (“MSS”) for the fund accounting and transfer agency services. An officer and shareholder of MSS is also an officer of the Fund. Fees paid to MSS are paid by the Adviser.
5.)
CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capitalization of the Fund consists of 1,000,000 shares of common stock of $0.01 par value per share. Paid in capital at October 31, 2004 was $542,675 representing 26,404 shares outstanding.
6.)
PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES
For the six months ended October 31, 2004, purchases and sales of investment securities other than U.S. Government obligations and short-term investments aggregated $4,200 and $0 respectively. Purchases and sales of U.S. Government obligations aggregated $0 and $0, respectively.
7.)
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS
For Federal income tax purposes, the cost of investments owned at October 31, 2004 was $543,694.
At April 30, 2004, the composition of unrealized appreciation (the excess of value over tax cost) and depreciation (the excess of tax cost over value) was as follows:
Appreciation | (Depreciation) | Net Appreciation (Depreciation) |
52,791 | (11,850) | 40,941 |
8.)
CONTROL 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 October 31, 2004, Bill Cross, in aggregate, owned more than 45% of the Pebblebrook Fund.
9.)
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
On August 23, 2004 a distribution of $.04 per share was declared. The dividend was paid on August 23, 2004, to shareholders of record on August 22, 2004.
The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended April 30, 2004 were as follows:
Distributions from: | |
Ordinary Income | $303 |
Short-Term Capital Gain | 720 |
Long-Term Capital Gain | 0 |
| $1,023 |
| |
As of October 31, 2004 the components of distributable earnings/ (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed Ordinary income/ (accumulated losses) | $ 1,183 |
Undistributed Long-term capital gain/ (accumulated losses) | 0 |
Unrealized appreciation/ (depreciation) | 40,941 |
| $42,124 |
There were no differences between book basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation).
Expense Example
As a shareholder of the Pebblebrook Fund, you incur one type of cost: management fees. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds 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 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period, May 1, 2004 through October 31, 2004.
Actual Expenses
The first line of 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 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 of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. 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 these Funds 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.

| Beginning Account Value | Ending Account Value | Expenses Paid During the Period* |
| May 1, 2004 | October 31, 2004 | May 1,2004 to October 31,2004 |
| | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,029.22 | $7.67 |
Hypothetical (5% Annual | | | |

| | | |
| | | |
| | | |
* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.50%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). |
