TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE
We are happy to present to you our report for the year ended October 31, 2007, which we believe contains complete and pertinent financial information.
Over the course of the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007, the combined BMC Fund, Inc. (“The Fund”) portfolio appreciated 15.0% compared to a 10.6% return for the previous fiscal year. For the latest fiscal year, earnings including unrealized gains were $24,821,422.
Over the past year the US economy was challenged by the home-building collapse, falling housing prices and rising credit problems. As was the case in the previous fiscal year the Fund’s relatively high exposure to a diversified global common stock portfolio resulted in exceptionally high absolute and relative returns for overall holdings.
During fiscal year 2007 over half of the mutual fund component was invested in foreign markets with significant exposure to emerging markets and appreciating currencies. As well, the domestic equity portfolios were over weighted in stocks of US based transnational companies that are experiencing above average earnings increases from operations in the higher growth areas of the world. Earnings of these companies are valued in currencies that have risen versus the US dollar.
As mentioned above, the Fund’s portfolio managers focused on higher quality and larger capitalization multinational companies. As was the case in the last fiscal year, this concentration resulted in excellent returns among our positions in transnational companies such as Coca Cola, Avon Products and AFLAC. Also the Fund’s substantial over weight position in energy stocks was another reason for the equity portfolio’s strong relative performance. Rising oil prices drove up the share price of companies in the portfolio such as Royal Dutch, Exxon and Chevron.
Our biggest losses over the past year came in the financial sector as falling housing values led to a sharp rise in foreclosures. This caused the stock prices of some of the largest mortgage lenders to collapse. Making matters worse, subprime loans were packaged and sold. Unfortunately the default rate assumptions of these pooled investments were considerably understated. As the number of defaults grew, holders of these packages were forced to take large write offs, thereby putting further pressure on their stock prices. As a result, the value of the Fund’s holdings in diversified financials and insurance fell. Apart from the financials, consumer discretionary stocks that include autos, producers of consumer durables and retailers fell as consumer confidence seemed to be fading. That being said, an underweight allocation to both the financial and consumer discretionary sector diminished the brunt of the damage to the aggregate portfolio.
Looking forward, the global economy will likely continue to be driven by emerging markets led by China and India. Annual growth rates throughout the developing world have surged to around 7%. They now contribute half of the world’s GDP growth which is over three times as much as the US. It is true that a US economic slowdown would have an effect on the export sectors of emerging economies; however, America is no longer the only engine of growth in the global economy.
The US economy will probably slow as the credit crunch and housing related issues further take their toll. Stocks of companies closely tied to the American economy are less attractive than those of enterprises taking in profits from their businesses in high growth economies or those of exporters taking advantage of the weak US dollar.
Domestic bond market prospects remain unclear as interest rates should eventually spike from historically low levels as inflation prospects become increasingly likely. Bonds of developed countries are also worrisome given the potential for higher interest rates and a change in direction of the value of the dollar against currencies such as the Euro or Canadian dollar. Emerging market bonds provide an alternative fixed income investment considering the high probability that their currencies should appreciate against the dollar. In addition to emerging market bonds the Fund will be looking to alternative investments for preservation of capital, such as cash, lower duration US bonds and bond proxies such as hedge funds.
The Fund’s portfolio managers intend to stay vigilant and ensure that the portfolio continues to be well diversified across asset classes, sectors and world markets.
During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund paid the following dividends per share:
| December 9, 2006 to shareholders of record November 25, 2006 | | $ | 1.55 | |
| March 10, 2007 to shareholders of record February 25, 2007 | | | .25 | |
| June 10, 2007 to shareholders of record May 25, 2007 | | | .25 | |
| September 10, 2007 to shareholders of record August 25, 2007 | | | .25 | |
| | | | | |
| Total | | $ | 2.30 | |
The Fund paid a dividend of $1.71 per share on December 10, 2007 to shareholders of record November 25, 2007.
Schedule I is a listing of the entire Fund’s diversified securities at October 31, 2007 with a total market value of $161,646,866.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Shareholders of BMC Fund, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the BMC Fund, Inc. (the “Company”), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2007 and the related statement 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 the years ended October 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003, and the seven months ended October 31, 2002 and the years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. The financial highlights for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2000 were audited by other auditors whose report dated May 19, 2000 expressed an unqualified opinion on the financial highlights for those three years.
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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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 October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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.
As explained in note 1, the financial statements include investments valued at $18,944,765 (10.58 percent of net assets), whose fair values have been estimated by management in the absence of readily determinable fair values. Management’s estimates are based upon information provided by the funds managers or the general partners.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BMC Fund, Inc. as of October 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for the each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the years ended October 31, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, and the seven months ended October 31, 2002 and two years ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended October 31, 2007
| 1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
BMC Fund, Inc. (the “Company”) is a closed-end, diversified investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Prior to becoming a regulated investment company on April 1, 1981, BMC Fund, Inc. operated as a regular corporation. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for investment companies.
| | A. | Investment Valuations - The investment securities are stated at market value as determined by closing prices on national securities exchanges. Investment securities include corporate bonds, mutual funds, and common and preferred stocks. |
The investments in limited partnerships, other investments and venture capital are stated at estimated fair value as determined by the management of these investments and are approved by the Company’s Valuation Committee after giving consideration to historical and projected financial results, economic conditions, financial condition of investee and other factors and events subject to change. Because of the inherent uncertainty of those valuations, the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market value for the investments. The fair value of these investment types is included in the accompanying schedule I; “Investments in Securities of Unaffiliated Issuers”.
The carrying value of the investments in wholly owned subsidiaries is based on independent appraisals and internal assessments of the fair market values of the subsidiaries’ underlying investments. Equity in earnings of the wholly owned subsidiaries in the statement of operations represents the current year earnings of the subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method.
The carrying value of the investment in real estate is based on an independent appraisal of the fair market value of the real estate.
| | B. | Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the order to buy or sell is executed. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the basis of specific identification of issues sold or matured. The aggregate dollar amount of purchases and sales of investment securities, other than government securities and short-term debt securities having maturities of one year or less, for the year ended October 31, 2007, was $162,090,066. |

| 1. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
| | C. | Income Taxes - No federal tax provision is required as it is the Company’s policy to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, including the distribution to its shareholders of substantially all of its income and any capital gains not offset by capital losses. Also, no state income tax provision has been provided because the states in which the Company has income recognize the tax exempt status of a regulated investment company. |
| | D. | Dividend Policy - It is the Company’s policy to pay dividends during the year in sufficient amounts to meet the requirements to maintain its status as a regulated investment company. |
| | E. | Cash and Short-Term Investments - For purposes of financial reporting, the Company considers all investments at financial institutions with original maturities of three months or less to be equivalent to cash. Short-term money market investments managed by third party investors are included in investment securities. |
| | F. | 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. |
On September 25, 2000 (modified October 20, 2000 and renewed July 21, 2006), the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for an unsecured line of credit in the amount of $5,000,000 to provide the Company more flexibility in its payment of dividends and management of its investments. The interest rate on any borrowings was at the LIBOR market index rate plus 125 basis points. No commitment fee was charged on any unused balance. This line of credit expired on July 31, 2007.
On October 12, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for an unsecured line of credit in the amount of $7,500,000 to provide the Company more flexibility in its payment of dividends and management of its investments. The interest rate on any borrowings is at the LIBOR market index rate plus 100 basis points. No commitment fee is charged on any unused balance. As of October 31, 2007, the Company had borrowings of $5,000,000 from this line of credit, which expires on April 30, 2008.

The Company owns two wholly-owned subsidiaries, P. B. Realty, Inc. and Broyhill Industries, Inc. During the year, the Company contributed an additional $50,000 of capital to Broyhill Industries, Inc.

Material Conflicts of Interest
The Fund recognizes that actual or potential conflicts of interest are inherent in our business. These actual or potential conflicts may arise when a portfolio manager has day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or account. Certain investments may be appropriate for the Fund and also for other clients advised by the portfolio manager. Investment decisions for the Fund and other clients are made with a view to achieving their respective investment objectives and after consideration of such factors as their current holdings, availability of cash for investment and the size of their investments generally. Therein lies the possibility that a particular security could be bought or sold for the Fund and also for other clients, along with the possibility that a particular security could be bought or sold for the Fund while the opposite transaction could be occurring for other clients due to their investment strategy.
To the extent that a portfolio manager has responsibilities for managing accounts in addition to the Fund, the portfolio manager will need to divide his time and attention among relevant accounts.
The Fund also recognizes that in some cases, an actual or potential conflict may arise where a portfolio manager may have an incentive, such as a performance-based fee.
The Fund is in the process of developing written policies and procedures designed to address conflicts of interest its portfolio managers may face.
(a)(3)
Compensation Structure of Portfolio Managers
The compensation structure for each portfolio manager is based upon a fixed salary as well as a discretionary bonus determined by the senior management of the Fund. Salaries are determined by the senior management and are based upon an individual’s position and overall value to the Fund. Bonuses are also determined by management and are based upon an individual’s overall contribution to the success of the Fund and the profitability of the Fund. Salaries and bonuses for portfolio managers are not based upon criteria such as performance of the Fund or the value of assets of the Fund. Portfolio managers also have the opportunity to participate in other employee benefits available to all of the employees of the Fund.
