NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Six Months Ended April 30, 2020 (Unaudited)

 

1.ORGANIZATION

 

BMC Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) 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 Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

 

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A.     Investment Valuations – The investment securities are stated at fair 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 Fund’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 Fund’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.

 

B.      Basis of Presentation - The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) as detailed in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Fund evaluates subsequent events through the date of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

C.      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. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are included with realized gains and losses on investments.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2020, the Fund purchased and sold securities in the amount of $12,765,292 and $12,610,123 (excluding short-term investments and options), respectively.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

 

D.      Option Writing – When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund has realized a gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the Fund. The Fund as writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.

 

E.       Income Taxes – No federal tax provision is required as it is the Fund’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 Fund has income recognize the tax exempt status of a regulated investment company.

 

The Fund 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 2016 and thereafter are subject to possible future examinations by tax authorities.

 

F.      Dividend Policy – It is the Fund’s policy to pay dividends during the year in sufficient amounts to meet the requirements to maintain its status as a regulated investment company.

 

G.      Cash and Short-Term Investments – For purposes of financial reporting, the Fund 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.

 

H.      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)

 

I.       Fair Value Measurements – Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

 

In determining fair value, the Fund uses various valuation techniques. A fair value hierarchy for inputs is used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs are to be used when available. Valuation techniques that are consistent with the market or income approach are used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

 

Level 1 - Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Valuations based on inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

 

Fair value is a market-based measure, based on assumptions of prices and inputs considered from the perspective of a market participant that are current as of the measurement date, rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Fund's own assumptions are set to reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The availability of valuation techniques and observable inputs can vary from investment to investment and are affected by a wide variety of factors, including the type of investment, whether the investment is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may be materially higher or lower than the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Fund in determining fair value is greatest for investments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
