1. ORGANIZATION

Lord Abbett Affiliated Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund was organized in 1934 and was reincorporated under Maryland law on November 26, 1975.

The Fund’s investment objective is long-term growth of capital and income without excessive fluctuations in market value.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)	Investment Valuation-Under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), Lord, Abbett & Co. LLC (“Lord Abbett”), the Fund’s investment manager, has formed a Pricing Committee to administer the pricing and valuation of portfolio investments and to ensure that prices utilized reasonably reflect fair value. Among other things, these procedures allow the Fund to utilize independent pricing services, quotations from securities and financial instrument dealers and other market sources to determine fair value.
	Securities actively traded on any recognized U.S. or non-U.S. exchange or on The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or system on which they are principally traded. Events occurring after the close of trading on non-U.S. exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to reflect their fair value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange LLC. The Fund may rely on an independent fair valuation service in adjusting the valuations of foreign securities. Unlisted equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price or, if no sale price is available, at the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices. Exchange traded options and futures contracts are valued at the last sale price in the market where they are principally traded. If no sale has occurred, the mean between the most recently quoted bid and asked prices is used.
	Securities for which prices are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined by the Pricing Committee and approved by the Board. The Pricing Committee considers a number of factors, including observable and unobservable inputs, when arriving at fair value. The Pricing Committee may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values and other relevant information to determine fair value of portfolio investments. The Board or a designated committee thereof regularly reviews fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee and employs techniques such as reviewing related market activity, reviewing inputs and assumptions, and retrospectively comparing prices of subsequent purchases and sales transactions to fair value determinations made by the Pricing Committee.
	Short-term securities with 60 days or less remaining to maturity are valued using the amortized cost method, which approximates fair value.
(b)	Security Transactions-Security transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date).
(c)	Foreign Transactions-The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the Fund’s records at the rate prevailing when earned or recorded.
(d)	Futures Contracts-The Fund entered into index futures contracts to manage cash, or as a substitute position for holding the underlying asset on which the instrument is based. At the time of entering into a futures transaction, an investor is required to deposit and maintain a specified amount of cash or eligible securities called “initial margin.” Subsequent payments made or received by a fund called “variation margin” are made on a daily basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. The Fund will record an unrealized gain (loss) based on the amount of variation margin. When a contract is closed, a realized gain (loss) is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract.
(e)	Repurchase Agreements-The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with respect to securities. A repurchase agreement is a transaction in which a fund acquires a security and simultaneously commits to resell that security to the seller (a bank or securities dealer) at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon date. The Fund requires at all times that the repurchase agreement be collateralized by cash, or by securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies, its instrumentalities, or U.S. Government sponsored enterprises having a value equal to, or in excess of, the value of

the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest). If the seller of the agreement defaults on its obligation to repurchase the underlying securities at a time when the fair value of these securities has declined, the Fund may incur a loss upon disposition of the securities.

Fair Value Measurements-Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment or transferring a liability in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy is used to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and 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 - 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 reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available in the circumstances. 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 investments;

•  Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.); and

•  Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

	A summary of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments as of July 31, 2013, and if applicable, Level 1/Level 2 transfers and Level 3 rollforwards for the nine months then ended is included in the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.
	Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the three-tier hierarchy. All transfers between different levels within the three-tier hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
(g)	Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-The Fund entered into E-Mini S&P 500 Index futures contracts during the period ended July 31, 2013 (as described in note 2(d)) to manage cash. The Fund bears the risk that the underlying index will move unexpectedly, in which case the Fund may realize a loss. There is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees futures against default. As of July 31, 2013, the Fund had an index futures contract with a cumulated unrealized appreciation of $376,703, which is included on the Schedule of Investments.

3. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

As of July 31, 2013, the aggregate unrealized security gains and losses based on cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Tax cost	$	5,771,533,423
Gross unrealized gain		1,315,682,916
Gross unrealized loss		(37,477,422	)
Net unrealized security gain	$	1,278,205,494

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) is attributable to the tax treatment of certain securities and wash sales.

4. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11 “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2011-11”). This disclosure requirement is intended to help investors and other financial statement users better assess the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a fund’s financial position. ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of assets and liabilities; and disclose instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting agreement. In addition, in January 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-01 “Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” (“ASU 2013-01”), specifying exactly which transactions are subject to disclosures about offsetting. ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 are effective for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 will have on the Fund’s financial statement disclosures.
