How did the Fund perform during the reporting period? 

The Bruce Fund (the “Fund”) shares produced a gain of 27.69% for the year ended June 30, 2026, compared to a gain of 22.32% for the S&P 500 Index for the same period. Stock markets continued their rebound during the fiscal year, and the Fund gained as well.

 

The Fund’s large pharma stocks were gainers for the period, matching the broader averages. Electric utilities were up along with the overall market, benefiting from anticipated energy demands. The smaller and specialty pharma stocks were good performers, a few with large gains. Cash in the Fund declined to normal levels, despite the current level of stock market valuations at historical extremes.

 

Current fiscal policy has spurred activity but has not dealt with the excessive debt levels. Household and government sectors are still running unhealthy deficits. Extreme profit margins are reliant on fiscal policies and political opportunism and sometimes end in economic dislocation and policy upheaval.

 

We believe the markets have unlimited imagination and leverage to novel technologies, which can transform quickly. New technologies often bring extreme duplicative and unproductive investments. While we believe the world is overly leveraged and financially vulnerable, U.S. growth has been more durable, and we will attempt to continue to take advantage of opportunities as they present themselves.

 

Management continues to screen investment opportunities for their long-term capital appreciation potential versus the risks that investment might present. The bonds as well as the stocks in the portfolio encompass significant investment risks, which are again outlined in the prospectus.

 

Shareholders are invited to use the toll-free number (800) 872-7823 to obtain any Fund information (including the proxy voting record), or can visit www.thebrucefund.com, to obtain the same.

Bruce Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements
June 30, 2026
 

NOTE A – ORGANIZATION

 

Bruce Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) is a Maryland corporation incorporated on June 20, 1967. The Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), as an open end diversified management investment company and the Fund’s primary investment objective is long-term capital appreciation. The investment adviser to the Fund is Bruce & Co., Inc. (the “Adviser”).

 

The Fund operates as a single operating segment. The President and Principal Executive Officer of the Fund acts as the Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as defined in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The Fund’s income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

 

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Preparation – The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its financial statements. These policies are in conformity with GAAP.

 

Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Securities Valuation – All investments in securities are recorded at their fair value as described in Note C.

 

Federal Income Taxes – The Fund makes no provision for federal income or excise tax. The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, by complying with the requirements applicable to RICs and by distributing substantially all of its taxable income. The Fund also intends to distribute sufficient net investment income and net capital gains, if any, so that it will not be subject to excise tax on undistributed income and gains. If the required amount of net investment income or gains is not distributed, the Fund could incur a tax expense.

Bruce Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2026
 

As of and during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. Management has reviewed the Fund tax positions for all open tax years (generally, three years) and has concluded that no provision for unrecognized tax benefits or expenses is required in these financial statements.

 

Security Transactions and Related Income – Investment transactions are accounted for no later than the first calculation of the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) on the business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, security transactions are accounted for on the trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. The specific identification method is used for determining gains or losses for financial statements and income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted or amortized using the effective interest method. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends has been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. The ability of issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political development in the relevant specific country or region.

 

Distributions – Distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income as dividends and distributions to its shareholders on at least an annual basis. The Fund intends to distribute its net realized long-term capital gains and its net realized short-term capital gains at least once a year. The treatment for financial reporting purposes of distributions made to shareholders during the year from net investment income or net realized capital gains may differ from their ultimate treatment for federal income tax purposes. These differences are caused primarily by differences in the timing of the recognition of certain components of income, expenses or realized capital gain for federal income tax purposes. Where such differences are permanent in nature, they are reclassified in the components of the net assets based on their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Any such reclassifications will have no effect on net assets, results of operations or net asset values per share of the Fund. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, the Fund did not make any reclassifications.

NOTE C – SUMMARY OF SECURITIES VALUATION AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of the observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of the 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 (the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value such as pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique). Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, 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, developed 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 and/or registered investment companies where the value per share is determined and published and is the basis for current transactions for identical assets or liabilities at the valuation date

 

● Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for an identical security in an inactive market, quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

● Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best information available)

 

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within 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 in its entirety.

 

Equity securities, including common stocks, convertible preferred stocks, and American Depositary Receipts (ADR’s), are generally valued by using market quotations, but may be valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service when the Adviser believes such

9

 

Bruce Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2026
 

prices more accurately reflect the fair value of such securities. Securities that are traded on any stock exchange are generally valued by the pricing service at the last quoted sale price. Lacking a last sale price, an exchange traded security is generally valued by the pricing service at its last bid price. Securities traded in the NASDAQ over-the-counter market are generally valued by the pricing service at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. When using market quotations or close prices provided by the pricing service and when the market is considered active, the security will be classified as a Level 1 security. Sometimes, an equity security owned by the Fund will be valued by the pricing service with factors other than market quotations or when the market is considered inactive. When this happens, the security will be classified as a Level 2 security.

 

When market quotations are not readily available or when the Adviser determines that the market quotation or the price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the current fair value, such securities are valued as determined by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board of Directors (the “Board”). These securities are generally categorized as Level 3 securities.

 

Investments in mutual funds, including money market mutual funds, are generally priced at the ending NAV provided by the service agent of the funds. These securities will be categorized as Level 1 securities.

 

Fixed income securities, including corporate bonds, convertible corporate bonds, U.S. government bonds, and U.S. municipal bonds are generally categorized as Level 2 securities and valued on the basis of prices furnished by a pricing service. A pricing service uses various inputs and techniques, which include broker-dealer quotations, live trading levels, recently executed transactions in securities of the issuer or comparable issuers, and option adjusted spread models that include base curve and spread curve inputs. Adjustments to individual bonds can be applied to recognize trading differences compared to other bonds issued by the same issuer. The broker-dealer quotations received are supported by credit analysis of the issuer that takes into consideration credit quality assessments, daily trading activity, and the activity of the underlying equities, listed bonds and sector-specific trends. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the fixed income securities are categorized as Level 2 securities. If the Adviser decides that a price provided by the pricing service does not accurately reflect the fair value of the securities or when prices are not readily available from a pricing service, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review of the Board. These securities are generally categorized as Level 3 securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of June 30, 2026, based on the three levels defined previously:

 

    Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Common Stocks

Total   $ 360,992,325     $ 14,596,358     $ 25,000     $ 375,613,683  
                                 

In the absence of a listed price quote, or in the case of a supplied price quote which is deemed to be unrepresentative of the actual market price, the Adviser shall use any or all of the following criteria to value Level 3 securities:

 

Last sales price

 

Price given by pricing service

 

Last quoted bid & asked price

 

Third party bid & asked price

 

Indicated opening range

 

Estimated remaining distributions

 

Estimated possible recoveries

 

The significant unobservable inputs that may be used in the fair value measurement of the Fund’s investments in common stock, corporate bonds and convertible corporate bonds for which market quotations are not readily available include: broker quotes, discounts from the most recent trade or “stale price” and estimates from trustees (in bankruptcies) on disbursements. A change in the assumption used for each of the inputs listed above may indicate a directionally similar change in the fair value of the investment.

Bruce Fund
Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)
June 30, 2026
 

The following provides quantitative information about the Fund’s significant Level 3 fair value measurements as of June 30, 2026:

 

Quantitative Information about Significant Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
    Fair Value at June     Valuation   Unobservable    
Asset Category   30, 2026     Techniques   Input(s)   Range
Convertible Corporate Bonds   $ 25,000     Asset Liquidation Analysis   Liquidation Proceeds   0.25%-0.75%
                     

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the convertible corporate bonds are third party bid & asked price and liquidation proceeds. Significant increases (decreases) in those inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Following is a reconciliation of assets in which significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) were used in determining fair value for the Fund:

 

                      Change in

* The amount of transfers in and/or out are reflected at the reporting period end.

 

(a) Transfers in relate primarily to securities for which observable inputs became unavailable during the period. Therefore, the securities were valued at fair value by the Adviser, in conformity with guidelines adopted by and subject to review by the Board and are categorized as Level 3 inputs as of June 30, 2026.

 

(b) Transfers out relate primarily to securities for which observable inputs became available during the period, and as of June 30, 2026, the Fund was able to obtain quotes from its pricing service. These quotes represent Level 2 inputs, which is the level of the fair value hierarchy in which these securities are included as of June 30, 2026.

NOTE F – FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

 

At June 30, 2026, the breakdown of net unrealized appreciation and tax cost of investments for federal income tax purpose is as follows:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation   $ 187,321,784  
Gross unrealized depreciation     (2,636,614 )
Net unrealized appreciation on investments   $ 184,685,170  
         
Tax cost of investments   $ 190,928,513  
         

The difference between book basis and tax basis of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is primarily attributable to differences due to wash sales and defaulted bond accruals.

 

At June 30, 2026, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Undistributed ordinary income   $ 3,394,815  
Undistributed long-term capital gains     14,183,723

did not impact the Fund financial positions or results of operations. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, there were no material federal, state or local income taxes or any material income taxes in foreign jurisdictions paid by the Fund.

 

NOTE G – RESTRICTED SECURITIES

 

The Fund has acquired securities, the sale of which is restricted, through private placement. 100% of the restricted securities are valued according to fair value procedures approved by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.

 

NOTE H – SECTOR RISK

 

If a fund has significant investments in the securities of issuers within a particular sector, any development affecting that sector will have a greater impact on the value of the net assets of a Fund than would be the case if a Fund did not have significant investments in that sector. In addition, this may increase the risk of loss in a Fund and increase the volatility of a Fund’s NAV per share. For instance, economic or market factors, regulatory changes or other developments may negatively impact all companies in a particular sector, and therefore the value of the Fund’s portfolio will be adversely affected. As of June 30, 2026, the Bruce Fund had 26.7% of the value of its net assets invested in stocks within the Health Care sector.

 

NOTE I – INDEMNIFICATIONS

 

The Fund indemnifies its officers and Board for certain liabilities that may arise from their performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.

 

NOTE J – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

In accordance with GAAP, management has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were issued. Based upon this evaluation, management has determined there were no items requiring adjustment of the financial statements or additional disclosure.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Bruce Fund, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Bruce Fund, Inc. comprising Bruce Fund (the “Fund”) as of June 30, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2026, the results of its operation for the year then ended and the changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The Fund’s financial highlights for the years ended June 30, 2024, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated August 29, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2026, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

We have served as the Fund’s auditor since 2025.
