NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For Six Months Ended December 31, 1996
A. Consolidated Financial Statement:
The statement of assets and liabilities including the schedule of
tax-exempt securities as of December 31, 1996, and the related statements of
operations, changes in new assets, and supplementary information, for the six
months ending December 31, 1996, have been prepared by the Company, without
audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
reocurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at
December 31, 1996 and all periods presented have been made.
B. General:
On January 10, 1984, BDI Investment Corporation (the "Company")
filed a Registration Statement on Form N-2 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in order to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a
closed-end diversified management investment company.
C. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Investments:
The investment portfolio consists primarily of tax-exempt bonds
which are valued at the last bid price on the last business day of the quarter.
Income Recognition:
Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Interest
income is accrued and recorded based upon settlement dates.
Taxes:
The Company has qualified as a Regulated Investment Company under
certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code beginning with the fiscal year
starting July 1, 1984. Under such provisions, the Company will not be subject to
federal income tax on income which it receives and distributes to its
shareholders, provided that it distributes substantially all such income. As a
Regulated Investment Company, the Company may "pass through" to its shareholders
the character of the income which it receives.
Distributions:
It is the Company's policy to record distributions to shareholders
as of the date they are declared by the Board of Directors.
Fiscal Year:
The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest the end of
