NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Months Ended April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
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.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
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, and ratified by the Company’s Board of Directors. 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 existed, and these differences could be material.
The carrying value of the investment in the wholly owned subsidiary is based on independent appraisals and internal assessments of the fair market values of the subsidiary’s underlying investments. Equity in earnings of the wholly owned subsidiary in the statement of operations represents the current year earnings of the subsidiary accounted for using the equity method.
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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are amortized over the lives of the respective securities.
For the six months ended April 30, 2011, the Company purchased and sold securities in the amount of $30,913,423 and $23,174,073 (excluding short-term investments and options), respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Six Months Ended April 30, 2011 (Unaudited)
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
C. Option Writing – When the Company writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Company is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are treated by the Company on the expiration date as realized gains from investments. The difference between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or, if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transaction, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether the Company has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Company. The Company as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
D. 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.
The Company did not have an accrual for uncertain tax positions as deductions taken and benefits accrued are based on widely understood administrative practices and procedures, and are based on clear and unambiguous tax law. Tax returns for all years 2006 and thereafter are subject to possible future examinations by tax authorities.
E. 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.
F. 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.
G. 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.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued) |
H. Fair Value Measurements – The Company applies a three-tier hierarchy to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable.
Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability that are 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 that are developed based on the best information available.
Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Company’s investments as of the reporting period end. The designated input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with these investments. These inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
Level 1 – 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 Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Company’s investments as of April 30, 2011.
Asset Description | | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

5. | DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS |
Classifications of distributions, net investment income/(loss) and net realized gain/(loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the six months from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain was recorded by the Company.
On December 10, 2010, a distribution of $0.25 per share was paid to shareholders of record on November 25, 2010.
On March 10, 2011, a distribution of $0.25 was paid to shareholders of record on February 25, 2011.
The tax character of distributions paid for the six months ended April 30, 2011 is as follows:
Distributions paid from: | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 1,482,787 | |
Retained earnings prior to becoming an investment company | | | 983,853 | |
Total | | $ | 2,466,640 | |
The tax components of distributable earnings are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from composition of net assets reported under accounting principles generally accepted. The difference for the period ended April 30, 2011 reflects $464,537 of undistributed net investment income under generally accepted accounting principles.
On April 22, 2010 (renewed April 21, 2011), the Company entered into an agreement with a bank for an unsecured line of credit in the amount of $3,500,000 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 one month LIBOR market index rate plus 150 basis points, with a floor of 3.00 percent. The Company will pay a commitment fee of 35 basis points on any unused balance. As of April 30, 2011, the Company had no borrowings from this line of credit, which expires on April 21, 2013.
7. | ADVISORY BOARD AND REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS |
