1. Organization
Bluestone Community Development Fund (the “Fund”), formerly known as The 504 Fund, was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on July 29, 2013 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that operates as an “interval fund” pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act. The Fund is managed by Bluestone Capital Partners LLC (the “Adviser”), a Puerto Rico limited liability company registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Three officers of the Fund are officers and members of the Adviser. Prior to March 1, 2019, the Fund was managed by 504 Fund Advisors, LLC (the “Prior Adviser”), an Illinois limited liability company registered under the Advisers Act, which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak Bancshares, Inc. (“Live Oak”), a bank holding company. Government Loan Solutions, Inc. (“GLS”), also a subsidiary of Live Oak, provides the Adviser with data and research which is material to the Adviser’s valuation of the Fund’s investments. Robert O. Judge, a portfolio manager for the Fund, is the chief executive officer of GLS, and Jordan M. Blanchard, a portfolio manager for the Fund, is an employee of Live Oak. Prior to March 1, 2019, Messrs. Judge and Blanchard, each an officer of the Prior Adviser, each served as an officer of the Fund. The offering of shares of beneficial interest in the Fund (the “Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Shares are offered on a continuous basis monthly (generally as of the last business day of each month) at the net asset value (“NAV”) per Share plus a sales charge of up to 1.00%. There are an unlimited number of authorized Shares.
The Fund’s investment objectives are to provide current income, consistent with the preservation of capital, and to enable institutional Fund investors that are subject to regulatory examination for CRA compliance to claim favorable regulatory consideration of their investment under the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, as amended (the “CRA”). The Fund seeks to achieve its objectives by investing primarily in a portfolio of 504 First Lien Loans secured by owner-occupied commercial real estate which represent the non-guaranteed portions of U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) Section 504 transactions (“504 First Lien Loans”). 504 First Lien Loans are not guaranteed by the SBA, the U.S. government or by its agencies, instrumentalities or sponsored enterprises.
2. Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund is an investment company and follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, Financial Services-Investment Companies. In the normal course of business, the Fund has entered into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. 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 expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Investment Valuation – Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at current fair value, and all other investments are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”), in accordance with the policies and procedures (the “Valuation Procedures”) adopted by the Board. The Board has a standing valuation committee (the “Valuation Committee”) that is composed of members appointed by the Board. The Valuation Committee operates under the Valuation Procedures approved by the Board. The Valuation Committee makes quarterly reports to the Board concerning investments for which market quotations are not readily available. Investments in money market funds (short-term investments) are valued at the closing NAV per share.

Notes to Financial Statements (UNAUDITED) DECEMBER 31, 2020

2. Accounting Policies (continued)
504 First Lien Loans – The fair values of 504 First Lien Loans are analyzed using a pricing methodology designed to incorporate, among other things, the present value of the projected stream of cash flows on such investments (the “discounted cash flow” methodology). This pricing methodology takes into account a number of relevant factors, including changes in prevailing interest rates, yield spreads, the borrower’s creditworthiness, the debt service coverage ratio, lien position, delinquency status, frequency of previous late payments and the projected rate of prepayments. Newly purchased loans are initially fair valued at cost and subsequently analyzed using the discounted cash flow methodology. Loans with a pending short payoff will be fair valued at the anticipated recovery rate. Valuations of 504 First Lien Loans are determined no less frequently than weekly by the Valuation Committee.
Investment Transactions and Income – Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount using the effective yield. Fees associated with loan amendments, paydown gain/losses, and prepayment penalties are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. 504 First Lien Loans will be placed in non-accrual status and related interest income reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful as identified by the Adviser as part of the valuation process. During forbearance periods, any interest and fees on deferred payments will be added to the principal amount and re-amortized over the remaining life of the 504 First Lien Loan. There will be no impact to the maturity date of the loan.
Distributions to Shareholders – The Fund expects to declare and pay dividends of net investment income quarterly and net realized capital gains annually. Unless shareholders specify otherwise, dividends will be reinvested in Shares of the Fund.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Federal Income Taxes – The Fund intends to elect and to qualify each year to be treated as a regulated investment company under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. In order to so qualify, the Fund must meet certain requirements with respect to the sources of its income, the diversification of its assets and the distribution of its income. If the Fund qualifies as a regulated investment company, it will not be subject to federal income or excise tax on income or net capital gains that it distributes in a timely manner to its shareholders in the form of investment company taxable income or net capital gain distributions.
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – GAAP requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund’s tax return to determine whether these positions meet a “more-likely-than-not” standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the “more-likely-than-not” recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.
GAAP requires management of the Fund to analyze all open tax years for all major jurisdictions, which the Fund considers to be its federal and relevant state income tax filings. The open tax years for the Fund include the current year plus the prior three tax years. As of and during the year ended June 30, 2020, the Fund did not record a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examination in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

2. Accounting Policies (continued)
Expenses – Fund expenses are charged to the Fund and recorded on an accrual basis.
Fair Value Measurements – Under GAAP for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. 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, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access at the measurement date. |
| ● | 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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investment). |
The following table sets forth information about the levels within the fair value hierarchy at which the Fund’s investments are measured as of December 31, 2020:
| | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3 | | | Total | |
Hospitality Properties | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 7,406,463 | | | $ | 7,406,463 | |
Multi-Purpose Properties | | | — | | | | — | | | | 27,442,703 | | | | 27,442,703 | |
Short-Term Investments | | | 6,257,328 | | | | — | | | | — | | | | 6,257,328 | |
Total Investments | | $ | 6,257,328 | | | $ | — | | | $ | 34,849,166 | | | $ | 41,106,494 | |
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3.
The following is a reconciliation of investments in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value:
Investments | | Balance as of June 30, 2020 | | | Purchase and funding of investments | | | Proceeds from principal payments* | | | Net realized gain on investments | | | Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments | | | Amortization of discount and premium | | | Balance as of December 31, 2020 | |

The following is a summary of quantitative information about significant unobservable valuation inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements for investments held as of December 31, 2020:
Type of Level 3 Investments | | Fair Value as of December 31, 2020 | | | Valuation Technique | | | Unobservable Inputs | | | Weighted Average | | | Range | | | Impact to Fair Value from an Increase in Input | |

3. Concentration of Risk
504 First Lien Loans Risk – The Fund predominantly invests in fixed or variable rate 504 First Lien Loans arranged through private negotiations between a small business borrower (the “Borrower”) and one or more 504 First Lien Loan lenders. 504 First Lien Loans are secured by real property and have a claim on the assets of the Borrower that is senior to the second lien held by a certified development company and any claims held by unsecured creditors. The 504 First Lien Loans the Fund will invest in are not rated. 504 First Lien Loans are subject to a number of risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk and interest rate risk. Although the 504 First Lien Loans in which the Fund will invest will be secured by real property, there can be no assurance that such real property can be readily liquidated or that the liquidation of such real property would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event of non-payment of scheduled interest or principal, which could result in substantial loss to the Fund. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower, the Fund could experience delays or limitations with respect to its ability to realize the benefits of the real property securing a 504 First Lien Loan. In the event of a decline in the value of the already pledged real property, the Fund will be exposed to the risk that the value of the real property will not at all times equal or exceed the amount of the Borrower’s obligations under the 504 First Lien Loan. In
13

Notes to Financial Statements (UNAUDITED) DECEMBER 31, 2020

3. Concentration of Risk (continued)
general, the secondary trading market for 504 First Lien Loans is not fully-developed. No active trading market may exist for certain 504 First Lien Loans, which may make it difficult to value them. Illiquidity and adverse market conditions may mean that the Fund may not be able to sell certain 504 First Lien Loans quickly or at a fair price. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain 504 First Lien Loans, the market for them may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.
Credit Risk – Credit risk is the risk that one or more debt instruments in the Fund’s portfolio will decline in price or fail to pay interest or principal when due because the borrower experiences a decline in its financial status. Losses may occur because the market value of a debt security is affected by the creditworthiness of the issuer and by general economic and specific industry conditions.
Qualification for CRA Credit Risk – Although the Adviser believes that the Fund’s 504 First Lien Loan investments will have the community development qualities that are eligible for favorable consideration as community development loans and qualified investments under the CRA, there is no guarantee that an investor will receive CRA credit for an investment in the Fund.
Geographic Concentration Risk – The Fund’s 504 First Lien Loan investments are currently concentrated in California. As a result, the Fund may be more susceptible to being adversely affected by any single occurrence in California. Mortgaged properties in California may be particularly susceptible to economic risks of the state and certain types of hazards, such as earthquakes, floods, mudslides, wildfires and other natural disasters, for which there may or may not be insurance. As of December 31, 2020, 30.32% of the Fund’s investments were associated with properties located in California. Mortgaged properties in other states similarly may be adversely affected by natural disasters, for which there may not be insurance and which could result in substantial loss to the Fund.
Valuation Risk – Unlike publicly traded equity securities that trade on national exchanges, there is no central place or exchange for 504 First Lien Loans to trade. Due to the lack of centralized information and trading, the Adviser’s judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process and the valuation of 504 First Lien Loans. Uncertainties in the conditions of the financial market, unreliable reference data, lack of transparency and inconsistency of valuation models and processes may lead to inaccurate asset pricing. In addition, other market participants may value instruments differently than the Fund, and therefore the actual amount received in the sale of the 504 First Lien Loan may be less than the fair value of such loan, as determined by the Fund.
LIBOR Transition Risk – Certain instruments in which the Fund may invest rely in some fashion upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced plans to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the Fund or on certain instruments in which the Fund invests are not known. The transition process may involve, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR. The transition may also result in a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by the Fund. Any such effects of the transition away from LIBOR, as well as other unforeseen effects, could result in losses to the Fund.
Recent Market Events Risk – The spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide has resulted in disruptions to supply chains and customer activity, stress on the global healthcare system, temporary and permanent layoffs in the private sector and rising unemployment claims, quarantines, cancellations, market declines, the closing of borders, restrictions on travel and widespread concern and uncertainty, all of which may lead to a substantial economic downturn or recession in the U.S. and global economies. The recovery from the effects of COVID-19 is uncertain and may last for an extended period of time. Efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19 within the U.S. have caused significant disruptions to the operations of

3. Concentration of Risk (continued)
many small business borrowers utilizing the SBA 504 Program and may have adverse effects on their long-term health and viability. As a result, the market for 504 First Lien Loans and the value of 504 First Lien Loans held by the Fund is being negatively affected by these market conditions and may also be negatively affected in the future by increased rates of default and foreclosure, loan repayment deferral or forbearance requests by borrowers, lower loan origination volumes and the availability of other government loan and relief programs. In addition, the spread of COVID-19 may exacerbate certain risks, including 504 First Lien Loans risk, hospitality industry concentration risk, credit risk, valuation risk, liquidity risk and interest rate risk. The Adviser will monitor developments and seek to manage the Fund in a manner consistent with achieving the Fund’s investment objective, but there can be no assurance that it will be successful in doing so.
For other risks associated with the Fund and its investments please refer to the “Risks” section in the Fund’s current prospectus.
4. Periodic Repurchase Offers
The Fund will make periodic offers to repurchase a portion of its outstanding Shares at NAV per Share. The Fund has adopted a fundamental policy to make repurchase offers once every twelve months. The Fund will offer to repurchase 10% of its outstanding Shares, unless the Board has approved a different amount (not less than 5% or more than 25% of its outstanding Shares for a particular repurchase offer). The Fund does not currently expect to charge a repurchase fee.
For the year ended June 30, 2020, the Fund had one repurchase offer as follows:
Repurchase Offer Notice | Repurchase Request Deadline | Repurchase Pricing Date | Repurchase Offer Amount | % of Shares Repurchased | Number of Shares Repurchased |
December 13, 2019 | January 8, 2020 | January 17, 2020 | 10% | 10% | 460,698 |
5. Administration, Distribution, Transfer Agency and Custodian Agreements
The Fund and its administrator, UMB Fund Services, Inc. (“UMBFS”), are parties to an administration agreement under which UMBFS provides administrative and fund accounting services.
UMBFS also serves as the transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund.
UMB Bank, N.A. serves as the custodian and escrow agent (the “Custodian”) for the Fund. The Custodian plays no role in determining the investment policies of the Fund or which securities are to be purchased and sold by the Fund.
The Fund and Foreside Fund Services, LLC (the “Distributor”) are parties to a distribution agreement under which the Distributor acts as the principal underwriter for the Fund.
6. Investment Advisory Agreement
The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”) with the Adviser, effective May 1, 2019. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser makes investment decisions for the Fund and continuously reviews, supervises and administers the investment program of the Fund, subject to the supervision of, and policies established by, the Board. For providing these services, the Adviser will receive a fee from the Fund, accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate equal to 1.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or reduce its advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to ensure that total
15

Notes to Financial Statements (UNAUDITED) DECEMBER 31, 2020
|
6. Investment Advisory Agreement (continued)
annual fund operating expenses (“Total Annual Expenses”) after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding interest, leverage interest (i.e., any expenses incurred in connection with borrowings made by the Fund), taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses (collectively, “Excluded Expenses”)) will not exceed 1.75% of the Fund’s average net assets pursuant to an operating expenses limitation agreement dated March 1, 2019 (the “Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement”). Under the terms of the Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement, the Adviser is permitted to be reimbursed in any subsequent month in the three-year period from the date of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for such month (taking into account the reimbursement) will not cause the Fund to exceed the lesser of: (a) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement; or (b) the expense limitation in effect at the time of the reimbursement. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement is in effect through May 1, 2021, and may be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board. Pursuant to a separate operating expenses limitation agreement between the Adviser and the Fund, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive or reduce its advisory fees and/or reimburse expenses of the Fund to ensure that the Fund’s Total Annual Expenses after fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement (excluding Excluded Expenses) will not exceed 2.25% of the Fund’s average annual net assets effective May 2, 2021 through at least October 31, 2021. This new operating expenses limitation agreement may be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Adviser waived expenses totaling $224,774 that are subject to reimbursement.
As of June 30, 2020, the Adviser’s fees and expenses subject to reimbursement were as follows:
| June 30, 2022 | | | June 30, 2023 | |
| $136,921 | | | $452,378 | |
7. Investment Transactions
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, there were proceeds from principal payments of $6,717,531 and long term purchases of $2,708,914 in the Fund.
8. Federal Tax Information

8. Federal Tax Information (continued)
GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended June 30, 2020, permanent differences in book and tax accounting resulting primarily from differing treatments for amortization of organizational costs have been reclassified to paid in capital and total accumulated deficit as follows:
Increase (Decrease) |
Paid in Capital | Total Accumulated Deficit |
$1,422 | $(1,422) |
As of June 30, 2020, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated deficit) on a tax basis for the Fund were as follows:
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 29,473 | |
Accumulated capital and other losses | | | (69,145 | ) |
Unrealized appreciation on investments | | | 473,578 | |
Total distributable earnings (accumulated deficit) | | $ | 433,906 | |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had a short-term capital loss carry forward of $2,721 and long-term capital loss carry forward of $66,424. To the extent that the fund may realize future net capital gains, those gains will be offset by any of its unused capital loss carry forward. Future capital loss carry forward utilization in any given year may be subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations.
The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 were as follows:
| | 2020 | | | 2019 | |
