BLUE CHIP VALUE FUND
NOTES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS
September 30, 2005 (Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Blue Chip Value Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its statement of investments.

Security Valuation-All securities of the Fund are valued as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), currently 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time), on each day that the NYSE is open. Listed securities are generally valued at the last sales price as of the close of regular trading on  the NYSE. Securities traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") are generally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). In the absence of sales and NOCP, such securities are valued at the mean of the bid and asked prices.

Securities having a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value.

When market quotations are not readily available or when events occur that make established valuation methods unreliable, securities of the Fund may be valued at fair value determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.  Factors which may be considered when determining the fair value of a security include (a) the fundamental data relating to the investment; (b) an evaluation of the forces which influence the market in which the security is sold, including the liquidity and depth of the market; (c) the market value at date of purchase; (d) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security or comparable securities; and (e) any other relevant matters.

Investment Transactions-Investment transactions are accounted for on the date the investments are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from investment transactions and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investment are determined on the "specific identification" basis for both financial statement and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes interest earned on money market funds, is accrued and recorded daily.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



2. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION AND DEPRECIATION OF INVESTMENTS  (TAX BASIS)

As of September 30, 2005:

Gross appreciation (excess of value over tax cost)

$ 9,425,529 

Gross depreciation (excess of tax cost over value)

(710,394)

Net unrealized appreciation

$ 8,715,135 

Cost of investments for income tax purposes

$163,366,255 

3. LOAN OUTSTANDING

On November 12, 2003 an agreement with Custodial Trust Company, an affiliate of Bear Stearns, was reached, in which the Fund may borrow from the Custodial Trust Company an aggregate amount of up to the lesser of $15,000,000 or the maximum amount the Fund is permitted to borrow under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The interest rate resets monthly at 30-day LIBOR plus 1.00%. The borrowings under the Custodial Trust Company loan are secured by pledging a portion of the Fund's portfolio securities as collateral. The initial value of the portfolio securities pledged must equal twice the amount of the loan outstanding. 

Details of the loan outstanding are as follows:
