                 CERTAIN INVESTMENT LIMITATIONS AND GUIDELINES

The following limitations and guidelines are considered at the time of purchase,
under normal circumstances, and are based on a percentage of the fund's net
assets unless otherwise noted. This summary is not intended to reflect all of
the fund's investment limitations.


.    The fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in bonds (for purposes of
     this limit, bonds include any debt instrument and cash equivalents, and may
     include certain preferred securities).

.    The fund will invest at least 60% of its assets in debt securities rated A3
     or better by Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) or A- or better by
     Standard & Poor's Corporation (S&P) or in unrated securities that are
     determined by the investment adviser to be of equivalent quality at time of
     purchase, including U.S. government securities, money market instruments or
     cash.

.    The fund may invest up to 40% of its assets in debt securities rated below
     A3 by Moody's and below A- by S&P or in unrated securities that are
     determined by the investment adviser to be of equivalent quality.

.    The fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in debt securities rated Ba1 or
     below by Moody's and BB+ or below by S&P or in unrated securities
     determined by the investment adviser to be of equivalent quality. However,
     the fund's current practice is not to invest more than 15% of its assets in
     debt securities rated Ba1 and BB+ or below or unrated but determined by the
     investment adviser to be of equivalent quality.

.    The fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in preferred stocks.

.    The fund may invest up to 25% of its assets in securities of issuers
     domiciled outside the United States. In determining the domicile of an
     issuer, the fund's investment adviser will consider the domicile
     determination of a leading provider of global indexes, such as Morgan
     Stanley Capital International, and may also take into account such factors
     as where the company is legally organized, maintains principal corporate
     offices and/or conducts its principal operations.

.    While the fund may not make direct purchases of common stocks or warrants
     or rights to acquire common stocks, the fund may invest in debt securities
     that are issued together with common stock or other equity interests or in
     securities that have equity conversion, exchange or purchase rights. The
     fund may hold up to 5% of its assets in common stock, warrants and rights
     acquired after sales of the corresponding debt securities or received in
     exchange for debt securities.

.    The fund may invest up to 5% of its assets in IOs and POs (as defined in
     the following section).

                        *     *     *     *     *     *

The fund may experience difficulty liquidating certain portfolio securities
during significant market declines or periods of heavy redemptions.

          DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN SECURITIES AND INVESTMENT TECHNIQUES

The descriptions below are intended to supplement the material in the prospectus
under "Investment objective, strategies and risks."


DEBT SECURITIES -- Debt securities are used by issuers to borrow money.
Generally, issuers pay investors periodic interest and repay the amount borrowed
either periodically during the life of the security and/or at maturity. Some
debt securities, such as zero coupon bonds, do not pay current interest, but are
purchased at a discount from their face values and their values accrete over
time to face value at maturity. The market prices of debt securities fluctuate
depending on such factors as interest rates, credit quality and maturity. In
general, market prices of debt securities decline when interest rates rise and
increase when interest rates fall.


Lower rated debt securities, rated Ba1 or below by Moody's and/or BB+ or below
by S&P or unrated but determined by the fund's investment adviser to be of
equivalent quality, are described by the rating agencies as speculative and
involve greater risk of default or price changes due to changes in the issuer's
creditworthiness than higher rated debt securities, or they may already be in
default. The market prices of these securities may fluctuate more than higher
quality securities and may decline significantly in periods of general economic
difficulty. It may be more difficult to dispose of, and to determine the value
of, lower rated debt securities.


Certain additional risk factors relating to debt securities are discussed below:


     SENSITIVITY TO INTEREST RATE AND ECONOMIC CHANGES -- Debt securities may be
     sensitive to economic changes, political and corporate developments, and
     interest rate changes. In addition, during an economic downturn or
     substantial period of rising interest rates, issuers that are highly
     leveraged may experience increased financial stress that could adversely
     affect their ability to meet projected business goals, to obtain additional
     financing and to service their principal and interest payment obligations.
     Periods of economic change and uncertainty also can be expected to result
     in increased volatility of market prices and yields of certain debt
     securities. For example, prices of these securities can be affected by
     financial contracts held by the issuer or third parties (such as
     derivatives) relating to the security or other assets or indices.

     PAYMENT EXPECTATIONS -- Debt securities may contain redemption or call
     provisions. If an issuer exercises these provisions in a lower interest
     rate market, the fund would have to replace the security with a lower
     yielding security, resulting in decreased income to investors. If the
     issuer of a debt security defaults on its obligations to pay interest or
     principal or is the subject of bankruptcy proceedings, the fund may incur
     losses or expenses in seeking recovery of amounts owed to it.

     LIQUIDITY AND VALUATION -- There may be little trading in the secondary
     market for particular debt securities, which may affect adversely the
     fund's ability to value accurately or dispose of such debt securities.
     Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on
     fundamental analysis, may decrease the value and/or liquidity of debt
     securities.

The investment adviser attempts to reduce the risks described above through
diversification of the fund's portfolio and by credit analysis of each issuer,
as well as by monitoring broad


                       The Bond Fund of America -- Page 3
<PAGE>



economic trends and corporate and legislative developments, but there can be no
assurance that it will be successful in doing so.


Credit ratings for debt securities provided by rating agencies reflect an
evaluation of the safety of principal and interest payments, not market value
risk. The rating of an issuer is a rating agency's view of past and future
potential developments related to the issuer and may not necessarily reflect
actual outcomes. There can be a lag between the time of developments relating to
an issuer and the time a rating is assigned and updated.


Bond rating agencies may assign modifiers (such as +/-) to ratings categories to
signify the relative position of a credit within the rating category. Investment
policies that are based on ratings categories should be read to include any
security within that category, without giving consideration to the modifier
except where otherwise provided. See the Appendix for more information about
credit ratings.


INFLATION-INDEXED BONDS -- The fund may invest in inflation-indexed bonds issued
by governments, their agencies or instrumentalities and corporations.


The principal amount of an inflation-indexed bond is adjusted in response to
changes in the level of the consumer price index. Repayment of the original bond
principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of
U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds, and therefore the principal amount of
such bonds cannot be reduced below par even during a period of deflation.
However, the current market value of these bonds is not guaranteed and will
fluctuate, reflecting the rise and fall of yields. In certain jurisdictions
outside the United States the repayment of the original bond principal upon the
maturity of an inflation-indexed bond is not guaranteed, allowing for the amount
of the bond repaid at maturity to be less than par.


The interest rate for inflation-indexed bonds is fixed at issuance as a
percentage of this adjustable principal. Accordingly, the actual interest income
may both rise and fall as the principal amount of the bonds adjusts in response
to movements of the consumer price index. For example, typically interest income
would rise during a period of inflation and fall during a period of deflation.


SECURITIES WITH EQUITY AND DEBT CHARACTERISTICS -- The fund may invest in
securities that have a combination of equity and debt characteristics. These
securities may at times behave more like equity than debt or vice versa. Some
types of convertible bonds, preferred stocks or other preferred securities
automatically convert into common stocks or other securities at a stated
conversion ratio and some may be subject to redemption at the option of the
issuer at a predetermined price. These securities, prior to conversion, may pay
a fixed rate of interest or a dividend. Because convertible securities have both
debt and equity characteristics, their values vary in response to many factors,
including the values of the securities into which they are convertible, general
market and economic conditions, and convertible market valuations, as well as
changes in interest rates, credit spreads and the credit quality of the issuer.



These securities may include hybrid securities, which also have equity and debt
characteristics. Such securities are normally at the bottom of an issuer's debt
capital structure. As such, they may be more sensitive to economic changes than
more senior debt securities. These securities may also be viewed as more
equity-like by the market when the issuer or its parent company experience
financial problems.


                       The Bond Fund of America -- Page 4
<PAGE>


The prices and yields of nonconvertible preferred securities or preferred stocks
generally move with changes in interest rates and the issuer's credit quality,
similar to the factors affecting debt securities. Nonconvertible preferred
securities will be treated as debt for fund investment limit purposes.


OBLIGATIONS BACKED BY THE "FULL FAITH AND CREDIT" OF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT -- U.S.
government obligations include the following types of securities:


     U.S. TREASURY SECURITIES -- U.S. Treasury securities include direct
     obligations of the U.S. Treasury, such as Treasury bills, notes and bonds.
     For these securities, the payment of principal and interest is
     unconditionally guaranteed by the U.S. government, and thus they are of the
     highest possible credit quality. Such securities are subject to variations
     in market value due to fluctuations in interest rates, but, if held to
     maturity, will be paid in full.

     FEDERAL AGENCY SECURITIES -- The securities of certain U.S. government
     agencies and government-sponsored entities are guaranteed as to the timely
     payment of principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the U.S.
     government. Such agencies and entities include The Federal Financing Bank
     (FFB), the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae), the
     Veterans Administration (VA), the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the
     Export-Import Bank (Exim Bank), the Overseas Private Investment Corporation
     (OPIC), the Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC) and the Small Business
     Administration (SBA).

OTHER FEDERAL AGENCY OBLIGATIONS -- Additional federal agency securities are
neither direct obligations of, nor guaranteed by, the U.S. government. These
obligations include securities issued by certain U.S. government agencies and
government-sponsored entities. However, they generally involve some form of
federal sponsorship: some operate under a government charter; some are backed by
specific types of collateral; some are supported by the issuer's right to borrow
from the Treasury; and others are supported only by the credit of the issuing
government agency or entity. These agencies and entities include, but are not
limited to: Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
(Freddie Mac), Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), Tennessee
Valley Authority and Federal Farm Credit Bank System.


On September 7, 2008, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were placed into
conservatorship by their new regulator, the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
Simultaneously, the U.S. Treasury made a commitment of indefinite duration to
maintain the positive net worth of both firms.


GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR SHORT-TERM DEBT INSTRUMENTS -- Various agencies and
instrumentalities of the U.S. government and governments of other countries have
recently implemented or announced programs that support short-term debt
instruments, including commercial paper, in an attempt to sustain liquidity in
the markets for these securities. Following is a brief summary of some of these
programs (please refer to the applicable entity's website for further
information on the specific program). Entities issuing obligations supported by
these programs in which the fund invests must be on an approved list that is
monitored on a regular basis. The U.S. government or other entities implementing
these programs may discontinue these programs, change the terms of the programs
or adopt new programs at their discretion.


     TEMPORARY LIQUIDITY GUARANTEE PROGRAM -- The FDIC will guarantee payment of
     new senior unsecured debt issued by FDIC-insured depository institutions,
     U.S. bank holding companies and financial holding companies and certain
     U.S. savings and loan holding


                       The Bond Fund of America -- Page 5
<PAGE>


     companies. The guarantee will cover all new senior unsecured debt issued
     under this program, including commercial paper, issued by these entities on
     or before December 31, 2009. Entities eligible to participate in this
     program may also issue debt that is not guaranteed by the FDIC. The
     guarantee will extend only until December 31, 2012, even if the debt has
     not then matured.

     COMMERCIAL PAPER FUNDING FACILITY (CPFF) -- The Federal Reserve Bank of New
     York will lend money to a special purpose vehicle that will purchase
     eligible commercial paper from eligible issuers from October 27, 2008 until
     February 1, 2010. Under the CPFF, eligible issuers are U.S. domiciled
     issuers of commercial paper (including those with parent companies outside
     the U.S.) and eligible commercial paper must have a three month maturity,
     be U.S. dollar denominated and be rated at least A-1/P-1/F1 by two or more
     nationally recognized rating agencies.

     ASSET BACKED COMMERCIAL PAPER MONEY MARKET FUND LIQUIDITY FACILITY (AMLF) -
     The Federal Reserve Bank of Boston will lend money to eligible borrowers,
     including U.S. depository institutions, bank holding companies and U.S.
     branches and agencies of banks domiciled outside the U.S, in order to fund
     purchases of eligible asset backed commercial paper from money market funds
     until February 1, 2010. Under the AMLF, eligible asset backed commercial
     paper must be issued by a U.S. issuer that was in existence on September
     18, 2008, be U.S. dollar denominated, be rated at least A-1, P-1 or F1 by
     at least two major rating agencies (or in the top rating category if rated
     by only one agency) and have a maturity that does not exceed 120 days if
     the borrower is a bank or 270 days for non-bank borrowers.

     GOVERNMENT GUARANTEES OUTSIDE THE U.S. -- Various governments outside the
     U.S. have implemented or announced programs under which the government or a
     government agency will guarantee debt, including commercial paper, of
     financial institutions in that country.

PASS-THROUGH SECURITIES -- The fund may invest in various debt obligations
backed by pools of mortgages or other assets including, but not limited to,
loans on single family residences, home equity loans, mortgages on commercial
buildings, credit card receivables and leases on airplanes or other equipment.
Principal and interest payments made on the underlying asset pools backing these
obligations are typically passed through to investors, net of any fees paid to
any insurer or any guarantor of the securities. Pass-through securities may have
either fixed or adjustable coupons. These securities include:


     MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES -- These securities may be issued by U.S.
     government agencies and government-sponsored entities, such as Ginnie Mae,
     Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and by private entities. The payment of
     interest and principal on mortgage-backed obligations issued by U.S.
     government agencies may be guaranteed by the full faith and credit of the
     U.S. government (in the case of Ginnie Mae), or may be guaranteed by the
     issuer (in the case of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). However, these
     guarantees do not apply to the market prices and yields of these
     securities, which vary with changes in interest rates.

     Mortgage-backed securities issued by private entities are structured
     similarly to those issued by U.S. government agencies. However, these
     securities and the underlying mortgages are not guaranteed by any
     government agencies. These securities generally


                       The Bond Fund of America -- Page 6
<PAGE>


     are structured with one or more types of credit enhancements such as
     insurance or letters of credit issued by private companies. Mortgage-backed
     securities generally permit borrowers to prepay their underlying mortgages.
     Prepayments can alter the effective maturity of these instruments.

     COLLATERALIZED MORTGAGE OBLIGATIONS (CMOS) -- CMOs are also backed by a
     pool of mortgages or mortgage loans, which are divided into two or more
     separate bond issues. CMOs issued by U.S. government agencies are backed by
     agency mortgages, while privately issued CMOs may be backed by either
     government agency mortgages or private mortgages. Payments of principal and
     interest are passed through to each bond issue at varying schedules
     resulting in bonds with different coupons, effective maturities and
     sensitivities to interest rates. Some CMOs may be structured in a way that
     when interest rates change, the impact of changing prepayment rates on the
     effective maturities of certain issues of these securities is magnified.
     CMOs may be less liquid or may exhibit greater price volatility than other
     types of mortgage or asset-backed securities.

     COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE-BACKED SECURITIES -- These securities are backed by
     mortgages on commercial property, such as hotels, office buildings, retail
     stores, hospitals and other commercial buildings. These securities may have
     a lower prepayment uncertainty than other mortgage-related securities
     because commercial mortgage loans generally prohibit or impose penalties on
     prepayments of principal. In addition, commercial mortgage-related
     securities often are structured with some form of credit enhancement to
     protect against potential losses on the underlying mortgage loans. Many of
     the risks of investing in commercial mortgage-backed securities reflect the
     risks of investing in the real estate securing the underlying mortgage
     loans, including the effects of local and other economic conditions on real
     estate markets, the ability of tenants to make rental payments and the
     ability of a property to attract and retain tenants. Commercial
     mortgage-backed securities may be less liquid or exhibit greater price
     volatility than other types of mortgage or asset-backed securities.

     ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES -- These securities are backed by other assets such
     as credit card, automobile or consumer loan receivables, retail installment
     loans or participations in pools of leases. Credit support for these
     securities may be based on the underlying assets and/or provided through
     credit enhancements by a third party. The values of these securities are
     sensitive to changes in the credit quality of the underlying collateral,
     the credit strength of the credit enhancement, changes in interest rates
     and at times the financial condition of the issuer. Some asset-backed
     securities also may receive prepayments that can change their effective
     maturities.

"IOs" and "POs" are issued in portions or tranches with varying maturities and
characteristics. Some tranches may only receive the interest paid on the
underlying mortgages (IOs) and others may only receive the principal payments
(POs). The values of IOs and POs are extremely sensitive to interest rate
fluctuations and prepayment rates, and IOs are also subject to the risk of early
repayment of the underlying mortgages that will substantially reduce or
eliminate interest payments.


INVESTING OUTSIDE THE U.S. -- Investing outside the United States may involve
additional risks caused by, among other things, currency controls and
fluctuating currency values; different accounting, auditing, financial
reporting, disclosure, and regulatory and legal standards and practices;
changing local, regional and global economic, political and social conditions;



                       The Bond Fund of America -- Page 7
<PAGE>



expropriation; changes in tax policy; greater market volatility; different
securities market structures; higher transaction costs; and various
administrative difficulties, such as delays in clearing and settling portfolio
transactions or in receiving payment of dividends.


The risks described above may be heightened in connection with investments in
developing countries. Although there is no universally accepted definition, the
investment adviser generally considers a developing country as a country that is
in the earlier stages of its industrialization cycle with a low per capita gross
domestic product ("GDP") and a low market capitalization to GDP ratio relative
to those in the United States and the European Union. Historically, the markets
of developing countries have been more volatile than the markets of developed
countries. The fund may invest in securities of issuers in developing countries
only to a limited extent.


Additional costs could be incurred in connection with the fund's investment
activities outside the United States. Brokerage commissions may be higher
outside the United States, and the fund will bear certain expenses in connection
with its currency transactions. Furthermore, increased custodian costs may be
associated with maintaining assets in certain jurisdictions.


CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS -- The fund may purchase and sell currencies to facilitate
securities transactions and enter into forward currency contracts to protect
against changes in currency exchange rates. A forward currency contract is an
obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may
be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the
parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. Forward currency contracts
entered into by the fund will involve the purchase or sale of one currency
against the U.S. dollar. While entering into forward currency transactions could
minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency,
it could also limit any potential gain that may result from an increase in the
value of the currency. The fund will not generally attempt to protect against
all potential changes in exchange rates. The fund will segregate liquid assets
that will be marked to market daily to meet its forward contract commitments to
the extent required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may affect the extent to which
the fund may enter into forward contracts. Such transactions also may affect the
character and timing of income, gain or loss recognized by the fund for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.


REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS -- The fund may invest in debt securities issued
by real estate investment trusts (REITs), which primarily invest in real estate
or real estate-related loans. Equity REITs own real estate properties, while
mortgage REITs hold construction, development and/or long-term mortgage loans.
The values of REITs may be affected by changes in the value of the underlying
property of the trusts, the creditworthiness of the issuer, property taxes,
interest rates, tax laws and regulatory requirements, such as those relating to
the environment. Both types of REITs are dependent upon management skill and the
cash flows generated by their holdings, the real estate market in general and
the possibility of failing to qualify for any applicable pass-through tax
treatment or failing to maintain any applicable exemptive status afforded under
relevant laws.


FORWARD COMMITMENT, WHEN ISSUED AND DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS -- The fund
may enter into commitments to purchase or sell securities at a future date. When
the fund agrees to purchase such securities, it assumes the risk of any decline
in value of the security from the date of the agreement. If the other party to
such a transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, the fund could
miss a favorable price or yield opportunity, or could experience a loss.


                       The Bond Fund of America -- Page 8
<PAGE>



The fund will not use these transactions for the purpose of leveraging and will
segregate liquid assets that will be marked to market daily in an amount
sufficient to meet its payment obligations in these transactions. Although these
transactions will not be entered into for leveraging purposes, to the extent the
fund's aggregate commitments in connection with these transactions exceed its
segregated assets, the fund temporarily could be in a leveraged position
(because it may have an amount greater than its net assets subject to market
risk). Should market values of the fund's portfolio securities decline while the
fund is in a leveraged position, greater depreciation of its net assets would
likely occur than if it were not in such a position. The fund will not borrow
money to settle these transactions and, therefore, will liquidate other
portfolio securities in advance of settlement if necessary to generate
additional cash to meet its obligations. After a transaction is entered into,
the fund may still dispose of or renegotiate the transaction. Additionally,
prior to receiving delivery of securities as part of a transaction, the fund may
sell such securities.


The fund may also enter into "roll" transactions which involve the sale of
mortgage-backed or other securities together with a commitment to purchase
similar, but not identical, securities at a later date. The fund assumes the
risk of price and yield fluctuations during the time of the commitment. The fund
will segregate liquid assets which will be marked to market daily in an amount
sufficient to meet its payment obligations in these transactions.


REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS -- The fund may enter into repurchase agreements under
which the fund buys a security and obtains a simultaneous commitment from the
seller to repurchase the security at a specified time and price. Repurchase
agreements permit the fund to maintain liquidity and earn income over periods of
time as short as overnight. The seller must maintain with the fund's custodian
collateral equal to at least 100% of the repurchase price, including accrued
interest, as monitored daily by the investment adviser. The fund will only enter
into repurchase agreements involving securities in which it could otherwise
invest and with selected banks and securities dealers whose financial condition
is monitored by the investment adviser. If the seller under the repurchase
agreement defaults, the fund may incur a loss if the value of the collateral
securing the repurchase agreement has declined and may incur disposition costs
in connection with liquidating the collateral. If bankruptcy proceedings are
commenced with respect to the seller, realization of the collateral by the fund
may be delayed or limited.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS -- The fund may hold cash or invest in cash
equivalents. Cash equivalents include (a) commercial paper (for example,
short-term notes with maturities typically up to 12 months in length issued by
corporations, governmental bodies or bank/corporation sponsored conduits
(asset-backed commercial paper)) (b) short-term bank obligations (for example,
certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances (time drafts on a commercial bank
where the bank accepts an irrevocable obligation to pay at maturity)) or bank
notes, (c) savings association and savings bank obligations (for example, bank
notes and certificates of deposit issued by savings banks or savings
associations), (d) securities of the U.S. government, its agencies or
instrumentalities that mature, or may be redeemed, in one year or less, and (e)
corporate bonds and notes that mature, or that may be redeemed, in one year or
less.


LOAN ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS -- The fund may invest in loans or other
forms of indebtedness that represent interests in amounts owed by corporations
or other borrowers (collectively "borrowers"). The investment adviser defines
debt securities to include investments in loans, such as loan assignments and
participations. Loans may be originated by the borrower in order to address its
working capital needs, as a result of a reorganization of the borrower's assets
and liabilities (recapitalizations), to merge with or acquire another company
(mergers and


                       The Bond Fund of America -- Page 9
<PAGE>



acquisitions), to take control of another company (leveraged buy-outs), to
provide temporary financing (bridge loans), or for other corporate purposes.
Most corporate loans are variable or floating rate obligations.


Some loans may be secured in whole or in part by assets or other collateral. In
other cases, loans may be unsecured or may become undersecured by declines in
the value of assets or other collateral securing such loan. The greater the
value of the assets securing the loan the more the lender is protected against
loss in the case of nonpayment of principal or interest. Loans made to highly
leveraged borrowers may be especially vulnerable to adverse changes in economic
or market conditions and may involve a greater risk of default.


Some loans may represent revolving credit facilities or delayed funding loans,
in which a lender agrees to make loans up to a maximum amount upon demand by the
borrower during a specified term. These commitments may have the effect of
requiring the fund to increase its investment in a company at a time when it
might not otherwise decide to do so (including at a time when the company's
financial condition makes it unlikely that such amounts will be repaid). To the
extent that the fund is committed to advance additional funds, the fund will
segregate assets determined to be liquid in an amount sufficient to meet such
commitments.


Some loans may represent debtor-in-possession financings (commonly known as "DIP
financings"). DIP financings are arranged when an entity seeks the protections
of the bankruptcy court under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These
financings allow the entity to continue its business operations while
reorganizing under Chapter 11. Such financings constitute senior liens on
unencumbered collateral (i.e., collateral not subject to other creditors'
claims). There is a risk that the entity will not emerge from Chapter 11 and be
forced to liquidate its assets under Chapter 7 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In
the event of liquidation, the fund's only recourse will be against the
collateral securing the DIP financing.


The investment adviser generally makes investment decisions based on publicly
available information, but may rely on non-public information if necessary.
Borrowers may offer to provide lenders with material, non-public information
regarding a specific loan or the borrower in general. The investment adviser
generally chooses not to receive this information. As a result, the investment
adviser may be at a disadvantage compared to other investors that may receive
such information. The investment adviser's decision not to receive material,
non-public information may impact the investment adviser's ability to assess a
borrower's requests for amendments or waivers of provisions in the loan
agreement. However, the investment adviser may on a case-by-case basis decide to
receive such information when it deems prudent. In these situations the
investment adviser may be restricted from trading the loan or buying or selling
other debt and equity securities of the borrower while it is in possession of
such material, non-public information, even if such loan or other security is
declining in value.


The fund normally acquires loan obligations through an assignment from another
lender, but also may acquire loan obligations by purchasing participation
interests from lenders or other holders of the interests. When the fund
purchases assignments it acquires direct contractual rights against the borrower
on the loan. The fund acquires the right to receive principal and interest
payments directly from the borrower and to enforce its rights as a lender
directly against the borrower. However, because assignments are arranged through
private negotiations between potential assignees and potential assignors, the
rights and obligations acquired by a fund as the purchaser of an assignment may
differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning lender. Loan
assignments are often administered by a financial institution that acts as


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 10
<PAGE>



agent for the holders of the loan, and the fund may be required to receive
approval from the agent and/or borrower prior to the purchase of a loan.  Risks
may also arise due to the ability of the agent to meet its obligations under the
loan agreement.


Loan participations are loans or other direct debt instruments that are
interests in amounts owed by the borrower to another party. They may represent
amounts owed to lenders or lending syndicates, to suppliers of goods or
services, or to other parties. The fund will have the right to receive payments
of principal, interest and any fees to which it is entitled only from the lender
selling the participation and only upon receipt by the lender of the payments
from the borrower. In connection with purchasing participations, the fund
generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the
terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off
against the borrower. In addition, the fund may not directly benefit from any
collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation and
the fund will have to rely on the agent bank or other financial intermediary to
apply appropriate credit remedies. As a result, the fund will be subject to the
credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the
participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling a
participation, a fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may
not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.


Loan assignments and participations are generally subject to legal or
contractual restrictions on resale and are not currently listed on any
securities exchange or automatic quotation system.  Risks may arise due to
delayed settlements of loan assignments and participations. The investment
adviser expects that most loan assignments and participations purchased for the
fund will trade on a secondary market. However, although secondary markets for
investments in loans are growing among institutional investors, there may be a
limited number of investors interested in a specific loan. It is possible that
loan participations, in particular, could be sold only to a limited number of
institutional investors. If there is no active secondary market for a particular
loan, it may be difficult for the investment adviser to sell the fund's interest
in such loan at a price that is acceptable to it and to obtain pricing
information on such loan.


Investments in loan participations and assignments present the possibility that
the fund could be held liable as a co-lender under emerging legal theories of
lender liability. In addition, if the loan is foreclosed, the fund could be part
owner of any collateral and could bear the costs and liabilities of owning and
disposing of the collateral. In addition, some loan participations and
assignments may not be rated by major rating agencies and may not be protected
by the securities laws.


INVERSE FLOATING RATE NOTES -- The fund may invest to a very limited extent (no
more than 1% of its assets) in inverse floating rate notes (a type of derivative
instrument). These notes have rates that move in the opposite direction of
prevailing interest rates. A change in prevailing interest rates will often
result in a greater change in the instruments' interest rates. As a result,
these instruments may have a greater degree of volatility than other types of
interest-bearing securities.


RESTRICTED OR ILLIQUID SECURITIES -- The fund may purchase securities subject to
restrictions on resale. Restricted securities may only be sold pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "1933 Act"),
or in a registered public offering. Restricted securities held by the fund are
often eligible for resale under Rule 144A, an exemption under the 1933 Act
allowing for resales to "Qualified Institutional Buyers". Where registration is
required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or
part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between
the time it decides to seek registration and the time it


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 11
<PAGE>



may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement.
Difficulty in selling such securities may result in a loss to the fund or cause
it to incur additional administrative costs.


Securities (including restricted securities) not actively traded will be
considered illiquid unless they have been specifically determined to be liquid
under procedures adopted by the fund's board of directors, taking into account
factors such as the frequency and volume of trading, the commitment of dealers
to make markets and the availability of qualified investors, all of which can
change from time to time. The fund may incur certain additional costs in
disposing of illiquid securities.


MATURITY -- There are no restrictions on the maturity composition of the
portfolio, although it is anticipated that the fund normally will be invested
substantially in securities with maturities in excess of three years. Under
normal market conditions, longer term securities yield more than shorter term
securities, but are subject to greater price fluctuations.


LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES -- The fund is authorized to lend portfolio
securities to selected securities dealers or other institutional investors whose
financial condition is monitored by the investment adviser. The borrower must
maintain with the fund's custodian collateral consisting of cash, cash
equivalents or U.S. government securities equal to at least 100% of the value of
the borrowed securities, plus any accrued interest. The investment adviser will
monitor the adequacy of the collateral on a daily basis. The fund may at any
time call a loan of its portfolio securities and obtain the return of the loaned
securities. The fund will receive any interest paid on the loaned securities and
a fee or a portion of the interest earned on the collateral. The fund will limit
its loans of portfolio securities to an aggregate of 33-1/3% of the value of its
total assets, measured at the time any such loan is made. The fund does not
currently intend to engage in this investment practice over the next 12 months.

PORTFOLIO TURNOVER -- Portfolio changes will be made without regard to the
length of time particular investments may have been held. Short-term trading
profits are not the fund's objective, and changes in its investments are
generally accomplished gradually, though short-term transactions may
occasionally be made. High portfolio turnover involves correspondingly greater
transaction costs in the form of dealer spreads or brokerage commissions, and
may result in the realization of net capital gains, which may be taxable when
distributed to shareholders.


Fixed-income securities are generally traded on a net basis and usually neither
brokerage commissions nor transfer taxes are involved. Transaction costs are
usually reflected in the spread between the bid and asked price.


The fund's portfolio turnover rates for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007 were 57% and 58%, respectively. The portfolio turnover rate would equal
100% if each security in a fund's portfolio were replaced once per year. See
"Financial highlights" in the prospectus for the fund's annual portfolio
turnover rate for each of the last five fiscal years.

                                 FUND POLICIES

All percentage limitations in the following fund policies are considered at the
time securities are purchased and are based on the fund's net assets unless
otherwise indicated. None of the following policies involving a maximum
percentage of assets will be considered violated unless the excess occurs
immediately after, and is caused by, an acquisition by the fund.


FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES -- The fund has adopted the following fundamental policies,
which may not be changed without approval by holders of a majority of its
outstanding shares. Such majority is defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as the vote of the lesser of (a) 67% or more
of the voting securities present at a shareholder meeting, if the holders of
more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities are present in person or by
proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities.


These restrictions provide that the fund may not:


1.   With respect to 75% of the fund's total assets, purchase the security of
any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or
its agencies or instrumentalities), if as a result, (a) more than 5% of the
fund's total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer, or (b) the
fund would hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that
issuer.

2.   Concentrate its investments in a particular industry, as that term is used
in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and as interpreted or
modified by regulatory authority having jurisdiction, from time to time.

3.   Invest in companies for the purpose of exercising control or management;

4.   Buy or sell real estate in the ordinary course of its business; however,
the fund may invest in debt securities secured by real estate or interests
therein or issued by companies, including real estate investment trusts, which
invest in real estate or interests therein;

5.   Buy or sell commodities or commodity contracts in the ordinary course of
its business, provided, however, that this shall not prohibit the fund from
purchasing or selling currencies including forward currency contracts;

6.   Invest more than 15% of the value of its net assets in securities that are
illiquid;

7.   Engage in the business of underwriting of securities of other issuers,
except to the extent that the disposal of an investment position may technically
constitute the fund an underwriter as that term is defined under the Securities
Act of 1933;

8.   Make loans in an aggregate amount in excess of 10% of the value of the
fund's total assets, taken at the time any loan is made, provided, (i) that the
purchase of debt securities pursuant to the fund's investment objectives and
entering into repurchase agreements maturing in seven days or less shall not be
deemed loans for the purposes of this restriction, and (ii) that loans of
portfolio securities as described under "Loans of Portfolio Securities," shall
be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions therein set forth;


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 13
<PAGE>


9.   Sell securities short, except to the extent that the fund contemporaneously
owns or has the right to acquire at no additional cost securities identical to
those sold short;

10.  Purchase securities at margin;

11.  Borrow money except from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, not in
excess of 5% of the value of the fund's total assets.

Notwithstanding Investment Restriction #9, the fund has no current intention (at
least during the next 12 months) to sell securities short to the extent the fund
contemporaneously owns or has the right to acquire at no additional cost
securities identical to those sold short.


CHANGES TO FUNDAMENTAL POLICIES - At a meeting of the fund's shareholders on
November 24, 2009, shareholders approved changes to the fundamental policies
listed above. The fund plans to implement the new fundamental policies in 2010
or early 2011; however, the fund reserves the right to delay the implementation.
The new policies are set forth in a joint proxy statement available on the SEC's
website at sec.gov.

NONFUNDAMENTAL POLICIES -- The fund has adopted the following nonfundamental
investment policies, which may be changed by action of the Board of Directors
without shareholder approval:

1.   The fund may not invest in securities of other investment companies, except
as permitted by the 1940 Act.

2.   The fund may not issue senior securities, except as permitted by the 1940
Act.

3.   The fund may not acquire securities of open-end investment companies or
unit investment trusts registered under the 1940 Act in reliance on Sections
12(d)(1)(F) or 12(d)(1)(G) of the 1940 Act.

1 Ownership disclosure is made using the following ranges: None; $1 - $10,000;
 $10,001 - $50,000; $50,001 - $100,000; and Over $100,000. The amounts listed
 for "interested" directors include shares owned through The Capital Group
 Companies, Inc. retirement plan and 401(k) plan.
2 Eligible directors may defer their compensation under a nonqualified deferred
 compensation plan. Deferred amounts accumulate at an earnings rate determined
 by the total return of one or more American Funds as designated by the
 director.

3 Lee A. Ault III, William H. Baribault, W. Scott Hedrick, Merit E. Janow and
 Margaret Spellings were elected to the board effective January 1, 2010. A
 separate table has been provided with fund shares owned by independent
 directors as of November 30, 2009.
4 Dr. Mitchell was appointed to the board effective March 19, 2009.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION -- No compensation is paid by the fund to any officer or
director who is a director, officer or employee of the investment adviser or its
affiliates. The boards of funds advised by the investment adviser typically meet
either individually or jointly with the boards of one or more other such funds
with substantially overlapping board membership (in each case referred to as a
"board cluster"). The fund typically pays each independent director an annual
fee, which ranges from $3,214 to $22,488, based primarily on the total number
of board clusters on which that independent director serves.


In addition, the fund generally pays independent directors attendance and other
fees for meetings of the board and its committees. Board and committee chairs
receive additional fees for their services.


Independent directors also receive attendance fees for certain special joint
meetings and information sessions with directors and trustees of other groupings
of funds advised by the investment adviser. The fund and the other funds served
by each independent director each pay an equal portion of these attendance fees.


No pension or retirement benefits are accrued as part of fund expenses.
Independent directors may elect, on a voluntary basis, to defer all or a portion
of their fees through a deferred compensation plan in effect for the fund. The
fund also reimburses certain expenses of the independent directors.

1 Amounts may be deferred by eligible directors under a nonqualified deferred
 compensation plan adopted by the fund in 1993. Deferred amounts accumulate at
 an earnings rate determined by the total return of one or more American Funds
 as designated by the directors. Compensation shown in this table for the fiscal
 year ended December 31, 2008 does not include earnings on amounts deferred in
 previous fiscal years. See footnote 3 to this table for more information.
2 Funds managed by Capital Research and Management Company, including the
 American Funds; American Funds Insurance Series,(R) which is composed of 16
 funds and serves as the underlying investment vehicle for certain variable
 insurance contracts; American Funds Target Date Retirement Series,/(R)/ Inc.,
 which is composed of nine funds and is available through tax-deferred
 retirement plans and IRAs; and Endowments, which is composed of two portfolios
 and is available to certain nonprofit organizations.

3 Lee A. Ault III, William H. Baribault, W. Scott Hedrick, Merit E. Janow and
 Margaret Spellings were elected to the board effective January 1, 2010.
4 Since the deferred compensation plan's adoption, the total amount of deferred
 compensation accrued by the fund (plus earnings thereon) through the 2008
 fiscal year for participating directors is as follows: Richard G. Capen, Jr.
 ($32,305), Martin Fenton ($103,599), Leonard R. Fuller ($42,360) and Steadman
 Upham ($37,911). Amounts deferred and accumulated earnings thereon are not
 funded and are general unsecured liabilities of the fund until paid to the
 directors.
5 Dr. Mitchell was appointed to the board effective March 19, 2009.

As of December 1, 2009, the officers and directors of the fund and their
families, as a group, owned beneficially or of record less than 1% of the
outstanding shares of the fund.


FUND ORGANIZATION AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS -- The fund, an open-end,
diversified management investment company, was organized as a Maryland
corporation on December 3, 1973. At a meeting of the fund's shareholders on
November 24, 2009, shareholders approved the reorganization of the fund to a
Delaware statutory trust. The reorganization is expected to be


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 22
<PAGE>



completed in 2010 or early 2011; however, the fund reserves the right to delay
the implementation. A summary comparison of the governing documents and state
laws affecting the Delaware statutory trust and the current form of organization
of the fund can be found in a joint proxy statement available on the SEC's
website at sec.gov. Although the board of directors has delegated day-to-day
oversight to the investment adviser, all fund operations are supervised by the
fund's board, which meets periodically and performs duties required by
applicable state and federal laws.


Under Maryland law, the business affairs of a fund are managed under the
direction of the board of directors, and all powers of the fund are exercised by
or under the authority of the board except as reserved to the shareholders by
law or the fund's charter or by-laws. Maryland law requires each director to
perform his/her duties as a director, including his/her duties as a member of
any board committee on which he/she serves, in good faith, in a manner he/she
reasonably believes to be in the best interest of the fund, and with the care
that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar
circumstances.


Independent board members are paid certain fees for services rendered to the
fund as described above. They may elect to defer all or a portion of these fees
through a deferred compensation plan in effect for the fund.


The fund has several different classes of shares. Shares of each class represent
an interest in the same investment portfolio. Each class has pro rata rights as
to voting, redemption, dividends and liquidation, except that each class bears
different distribution expenses and may bear different transfer agent fees and
other expenses properly attributable to the particular class as approved by the
board of directors and set forth in the fund's rule 18f-3 Plan. Each class'
shareholders have exclusive voting rights with respect to the respective class'
rule 12b-1 plans adopted in connection with the distribution of shares and on
other matters in which the interests of one class are different from interests
in another class. Shares of all classes of the fund vote together on matters
that affect all classes in substantially the same manner. Each class votes as a
class on matters that affect that class alone. Note that 529 college savings
plan account owners invested in Class 529 shares are not shareholders of the
fund and, accordingly, do not have the rights of a shareholder, such as the
right to vote proxies relating to fund shares. As the legal owner of the fund's
Class 529 shares, the Virginia College Savings Plan/SM/ will vote any proxies
relating to such fund shares.


The fund does not hold annual meetings of shareholders. However, significant
matters that require shareholder approval, such as certain elections of board
members or a change in a fundamental investment policy, will be presented to
shareholders at a meeting called for such purpose. Shareholders have one vote
per share owned. At the request of the holders of at least 10% of the shares,
the fund will hold a meeting at which any member of the board could be removed
by a majority vote.


The fund's articles of incorporation and by-laws as well as separate
indemnification agreements that the fund has entered into with independent
directors provide in effect that, subject to certain conditions, the fund will
indemnify its officers and directors against liabilities or expenses actually
and reasonably incurred by them relating to their service to the fund. However,
directors are not protected from liability by reason of their willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of their office.

<PAGE>



COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS -- The fund has an audit committee
comprised of Richard G. Capen, Jr.; Laurel B. Mitchell; Frank M. Sanchez; and
Steadman Upham, none of whom is an "interested person" of the fund within the
meaning of the 1940 Act. The committee provides oversight regarding the fund's
accounting and financial reporting policies and practices, its internal controls
and the internal controls of the fund's principal service providers. The
committee acts as a liaison between the fund's independent registered public
accounting firm and the full board of directors. Six audit committee meetings
were held during the 2008 fiscal year.


The fund has a contracts committee comprised of Lee A. Ault III; William H.
Baribault; Richard G. Capen, Jr.; James G. Ellis; Martin Fenton; Leonard R.
Fuller; W. Scott Hedrick; R. Clark Hooper; Merit E. Janow; Laurel B. Mitchell;
Richard G. Newman; Frank M. Sanchez; Margaret Spellings; and Steadman Upham,
none of whom is an "interested person" of the fund within the meaning of the
1940 Act. The committee's principal function is to request, review and consider
the information deemed necessary to evaluate the terms of certain agreements
between the fund and its investment adviser or the investment adviser's
affiliates, such as the Investment Advisory and Service Agreement, Principal
Underwriting Agreement, Administrative Services Agreement and Plans of
Distribution adopted pursuant to rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, that the fund
may enter into, renew or continue, and to make its recommendations to the full
board of directors on these matters. One contracts committee meeting was held
during the 2008 fiscal year.


The fund has a nominating and governance committee comprised of Lee A. Ault III,
William H. Baribault, James G. Ellis, R. Clark Hooper, Merit E. Janow and Laurel
B. Mitchell, none of whom is an "interested person" of the fund within the
meaning of the 1940 Act. The committee periodically reviews such issues as the
board's composition, responsibilities, committees, compensation and other
relevant issues, and recommends any appropriate changes to the full board of
directors. The committee also evaluates, selects and nominates independent
director candidates to the full board of directors. While the committee normally
is able to identify from its own and other resources an ample number of
qualified candidates, it will consider shareholder suggestions of persons to be
considered as nominees to fill future vacancies on the board. Such suggestions
must be sent in writing to the nominating and governance committee of the fund,
addressed to the fund's secretary, and must be accompanied by complete
biographical and occupational data on the prospective nominee, along with a
written consent of the prospective nominee for consideration of his or her name
by the committee. One nominating and governance committee meeting was held
during the 2008 fiscal year.


PROXY VOTING PROCEDURES AND PRINCIPLES -- The fund's investment adviser, in
consultation with the fund's board, has adopted Proxy Voting Procedures and
Principles (the "Principles") with respect to voting proxies of securities held
by the fund, other American Funds, Endowments and American Funds Insurance
Series. The complete text of these principles is available on the American Funds
website at americanfunds.com. Proxies are voted by a committee of the
appropriate equity investment division of the investment adviser under authority
delegated by the funds' boards. Therefore, if more than one fund invests in the
same company, they may vote differently on the same proposal. In addition, the
funds' boards monitor the proxy voting process and provide guidance with respect
to the Principles.


All U.S. proxies are voted. Proxies for companies outside the U.S. also are
voted, provided there is sufficient time and information available. After a
proxy statement is received, the investment adviser prepares a summary of the
proposals contained in the proxy statement. A discussion of any potential
conflicts of interest also is included in the summary. For proxies of securities


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 24
<PAGE>


managed by a particular investment division of the investment adviser, the
initial voting recommendation is made by one or more of the division's
investment analysts familiar with the company and industry. A second
recommendation is made by a proxy coordinator (an investment analyst with
experience in corporate governance and proxy voting matters) within the
appropriate investment division, based on knowledge of these Principles and
familiarity with proxy-related issues. The proxy summary and voting
recommendations are made available to the appropriate proxy voting committee for
a final voting decision.


The analyst and proxy coordinator making voting recommendations are responsible
for noting any potential material conflicts of interest. One example might be
where a director of one or more American Funds is also a director of a company
whose proxy is being voted. In such instances, proxy voting committee members
are alerted to the potential conflict. The proxy voting committee may then elect
to vote the proxy or seek a third-party recommendation or vote of an ad hoc
group of committee members.


The Principles, which have been in effect in substantially their current form
for many years, provide an important framework for analysis and decision-making
by all funds. However, they are not exhaustive and do not address all potential
issues. The Principles provide a certain amount of flexibility so that all
relevant facts and circumstances can be considered in connection with every
vote. As a result, each proxy received is voted on a case-by-case basis
considering the specific circumstances of each proposal. The voting process
reflects the funds' understanding of the company's business, its management and
its relationship with shareholders over time.


Information regarding how the fund voted proxies relating to portfolio
securities during the 12-month period ended June 30 of each year will be
available on or about September 1 of each year (a) without charge, upon request
by calling American Funds Service Company at 800/421-0180, (b) on the American
Funds website and (c) on the SEC's website at sec.gov.


The following summary sets forth the general positions of the American Funds,
Endowments, American Funds Insurance Series and the investment adviser on
various proposals. A copy of the full Principles is available upon request, free
of charge, by calling American Funds Service Company or visiting the American
Funds website.


     DIRECTOR MATTERS -- The election of a company's slate of nominees for
     director generally is supported. Votes may be withheld for some or all of
     the nominees if this is determined to be in the best interest of
     shareholders. Separation of the chairman and CEO positions also may be
     supported.

     GOVERNANCE PROVISIONS -- Typically, proposals to declassify a board (elect
     all directors annually) are supported based on the belief that this
     increases the directors' sense of accountability to shareholders. Proposals
     for cumulative voting generally are supported in order to promote
     management and board accountability and an opportunity for leadership
     change. Proposals designed to make director elections more meaningful,
     either by requiring a majority vote or by requiring any director receiving
     more withhold votes than affirmative votes to tender his or her
     resignation, generally are supported.

     SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS -- Proposals to repeal an existing poison pill generally
     are supported. (There may be certain circumstances, however, when a proxy
     voting committee of a fund or an investment division of the investment
     adviser believes that a company needs to maintain anti-takeover
     protection.) Proposals to eliminate the right of shareholders to


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 25
<PAGE>


     act by written consent or to take away a shareholder's right to call a
     special meeting typically are not supported.

     COMPENSATION AND BENEFIT PLANS -- Option plans are complicated, and many
     factors are considered in evaluating a plan. Each plan is evaluated based
     on protecting shareholder interests and a knowledge of the company and its
     management. Considerations include the pricing (or repricing) of options
     awarded under the plan and the impact of dilution on existing shareholders
     from past and future equity awards. Compensation packages should be
     structured to attract, motivate and retain existing employees and qualified
     directors; however, they should not be excessive.

     ROUTINE MATTERS -- The ratification of auditors, procedural matters
     relating to the annual meeting and changes to company name are examples of
     items considered routine. Such items generally are voted in favor of
     management's recommendations unless circumstances indicate otherwise.

PRINCIPAL FUND SHAREHOLDERS -- The following table identifies those investors
who own of record or are known by the fund to own beneficially 5% or more of any
class of its shares as of the opening of business on December 1, 2009. Unless
otherwise indicated, the ownership percentages below represent ownership of
record rather than beneficial ownership.

INVESTMENT ADVISER -- Capital Research and Management Company, the fund's
investment adviser, founded in 1931, maintains research facilities in the United
States and abroad (Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Washington, DC, London,
Geneva, Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo). These facilities are staffed with
experienced investment professionals. The investment adviser is located at 333
South Hope Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071 and 6455 Irvine Center Drive, Irvine,
CA 92618. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Capital Group Companies, Inc.,
a holding company for several investment management subsidiaries. Capital
Research and Management Company manages equity assets through two investment
divisions, Capital World Investors and Capital Research Global Investors, and
manages fixed-income assets through its Fixed Income division. Capital World
Investors and Capital Research Global Investors make investment decisions on an
independent basis.


Rather than remain as investment divisions, Capital World Investors and Capital
Research Global Investors may be incorporated into wholly owned subsidiaries of
Capital Research and Management Company. In that event, Capital Research and
Management Company would continue to be the investment adviser, and day-to-day
investment management of equity assets would continue to be carried out through
one or both of these subsidiaries. Although not currently


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 27
<PAGE>



contemplated, Capital Research and Management Company could incorporate its
Fixed Income division in the future and engage it to provide day-to-day
investment management of fixed-income assets. Capital Research and Management
Company and each of the funds it advises have applied to the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission for an exemptive order that would give Capital Research and
Management Company the authority to use, upon approval of the fund's board, its
management subsidiaries and affiliates to provide day-to-day investment
management services to the fund, including making changes to the management
subsidiaries and affiliates providing such services. The fund's shareholders
approved this arrangement at a meeting of the fund's shareholders on November
24, 2009. There is no assurance that Capital Research and Management Company
will incorporate its investment divisions or exercise any authority, if granted,
under an exemptive order.


The investment adviser has adopted policies and procedures that address issues
that may arise as a result of an investment professional's management of the
fund and other funds and accounts. Potential issues could involve allocation of
investment opportunities and trades among funds and accounts, use of information
regarding the timing of fund trades, investment professional compensation and
voting relating to portfolio securities. The investment adviser believes that
its policies and procedures are reasonably designed to address these issues.


COMPENSATION OF INVESTMENT PROFESSIONALS -- As described in the prospectus, the
investment adviser uses a system of multiple portfolio counselors in managing
fund assets. In addition, Capital Research and Management Company's investment
analysts may make investment decisions with respect to a portion of a fund's
portfolio within their research coverage.


Portfolio counselors and investment analysts are paid competitive salaries by
Capital Research and Management Company. In addition, they may receive bonuses
based on their individual portfolio results. Investment professionals also may
participate in profit-sharing plans. The relative mix of compensation
represented by bonuses, salary and profit-sharing plans will vary depending on
the individual's portfolio results, contributions to the organization and other
factors.


To encourage a long-term focus, bonuses based on investment results are
calculated by comparing pretax total investment returns to relevant benchmarks
over the most recent year, a four-year rolling average and an eight-year rolling
average with greater weight placed on the four-year and eight-year rolling
averages. For portfolio counselors, benchmarks may include measures of the
marketplaces in which the fund invests and measures of the results of comparable
mutual funds. For investment analysts, benchmarks may include relevant market
measures and appropriate industry or sector indexes reflecting their areas of
expertise. Capital Research and Management Company makes periodic subjective
assessments of analysts' contributions to the investment process and this is an
element of their overall compensation. The investment results of each of the
fund's portfolio counselors may be measured against one or more of the following
benchmarks, depending on his or her investment focus: Barclays Capital U.S.
Aggregate Index (formerly Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index); Credit Suisse
First Boston High Yield Bond Index, Lipper High Current Yield Bond Funds Average
and Lipper Corporate Debt A-Rated Bond Funds Average.


PORTFOLIO COUNSELOR FUND HOLDINGS AND OTHER MANAGED ACCOUNTS -- As described
below, portfolio counselors may personally own shares of the fund. In addition,
portfolio counselors may manage portions of other mutual funds or accounts
advised by Capital Research and Management Company or its affiliates.

negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations under the Agreement. The
Agreement also provides that either party has the right to terminate it, without
penalty, upon 60 days' written notice to the other party, and that the Agreement

functions, and provides suitable office space, necessary small office equipment
and utilities, general purpose accounting forms, supplies and postage used at

adviser, including, but not limited to: custodian, stock transfer and dividend
disbursing fees and expenses; shareholder recordkeeping and administrative
expenses; costs of the designing, printing and mailing of reports, prospectuses,
proxy statements and notices to its shareholders; taxes; expenses of the
issuance and redemption of fund shares (including stock certificates,
registration and qualification fees and expenses); expenses pursuant to the
fund's plans of distribution (described below); legal and auditing expenses;
compensation, fees and expenses paid to independent directors; association dues;
costs of stationery and forms prepared exclusively for the fund; and costs of
assembling and storing shareholder account data.

For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the investment
adviser was entitled to receive from the fund management fees of $90,043,000,
$79,099,000 and $62,421,000, respectively. After giving effect to the management
fee waivers described below, the fund paid the investment adviser management
fees of $81,039,000 (a reduction of $9,004,000), $71,056,000 (a reduction of
$8,043,000) and $56,179,000 (a reduction of $6,242,000) for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively.


For the period from September 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005, the investment
adviser agreed to waive 5% of the management fees that it was otherwise entitled
to receive under the Agreement. From April 1, 2005 through December 31, 2008,
this waiver increased to 10% of the management fees that the investment adviser
was otherwise entitled to receive. The waiver was discontinued effective January
1, 2009.


ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT -- The Administrative Services Agreement (the
"Administrative Agreement") between the fund and the investment adviser relating
to the fund's Class C, F, R and 529 shares will continue in effect until October
31, 2010, unless sooner terminated, and may be renewed from year to year
thereafter, provided that any such renewal has been specifically approved at
least annually by the vote of a majority of directors who are not parties to the
Administrative Agreement or interested persons (as defined in the 1940 Act) of
any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval. The fund may terminate the Administrative Agreement at any time
by vote of a majority of independent directors. The investment adviser has the
right to terminate the Administrative Agreement upon 60 days' written notice to
the fund. The Administrative Agreement automatically terminates in the event of
its assignment (as defined in the 1940 Act).


Under the Administrative Agreement, the investment adviser provides certain
transfer agent and administrative services for shareholders of the fund's Class
C and F shares, and Class R and 529 shares. The investment adviser may contract
with third parties, including American Funds Service Company,/(R)/ the fund's
Transfer Agent, to provide some of these services. Services include, but are not
limited to, shareholder account maintenance, transaction processing, tax
information reporting and shareholder and fund communications. In addition, the
investment adviser monitors, coordinates, oversees and assists with the
activities performed by third parties providing such services.


The investment adviser receives an administrative services fee at the annual
rate of up to 0.15% of the average daily net assets for Class C, F, R (excluding
Class R-5 and R-6 shares) and 529 shares for administrative services provided to
these share classes. Administrative services fees are paid monthly and accrued
daily. The investment adviser uses a portion of this fee to compensate third
parties for administrative services provided to the fund. Of the remainder, the
investment adviser does not retain more than 0.05% of the average daily net
assets for each


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 31
<PAGE>


applicable share class. For Class R-5 and R-6 shares, the administrative
services fee is calculated at the annual rate of up to 0.10% and 0.05%,
respectively, of the average daily net assets of such class. The administrative
services fee includes compensation for transfer agent and shareholder services
provided to the fund's Class C, F, R and 529 shares. In addition to making
administrative service fee payments to unaffiliated third parties, the
investment adviser also makes payments from the administrative services fee to
American Funds Service Company according to a fee schedule, based principally on
the number of accounts serviced, contained in a Shareholder Services Agreement
between the fund and American Funds Service Company. A portion of the fees paid
to American Funds Service Company for transfer agent services is also paid
directly from the relevant share class.


During the 2008 fiscal year, administrative services fees, gross of any payments
made by the investment adviser, were:

          Principal Underwriter compensated investment dealers for sales of

Plans of distribution -- The fund has adopted plans of distribution (the
"Plans") pursuant to rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans permit the fund to
expend amounts to finance any activity primarily intended to result in the sale
of fund shares, provided the fund's board of directors has approved the category
of expenses for which payment is being made.


Each Plan is specific to a particular share class of the fund. As the fund has
not adopted a Plan for Class F-2, Class R-5 or Class R-6, no 12b-1 fees are paid
from Class F-2, Class R-5 or Class R-6 share assets and the following disclosure
is not applicable to these share classes.


Payments under the Plans may be made for service-related and/or
distribution-related expenses. Service-related expenses include paying service
fees to qualified dealers. Distribution-related expenses include commissions
paid to qualified dealers. The amounts actually paid under the Plans for the
past fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of the fund's average daily net
assets attributable to the applicable share class, are disclosed in the
prospectus under "Fees and expenses of the fund." Further information regarding
the amounts available under each Plan is in the "Plans of Distribution" section
of the prospectus.


Following is a brief description of the Plans:


     CLASS A AND 529-A -- For Class A and 529-A shares, up to 0.25% of the
     fund's average daily net assets attributable to such shares is reimbursed
     to the Principal Underwriter for paying service-related expenses, and the
     balance available under the applicable Plan may be paid to the Principal
     Underwriter for distribution-related expenses. The fund may annually expend
     up to 0.25% for Class A shares and up to 0.50% for Class 529-A shares under
     the applicable Plan.


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 34
<PAGE>



     Distribution-related expenses for Class A and 529-A shares include dealer
     commissions and wholesaler compensation paid on sales of shares of $1
     million or more purchased without a sales charge. Commissions on these "no
     load" purchases (which are described in further detail under the "Sales
     Charges" section of this statement of additional information) in excess of
     the Class A and 529-A Plan limitations and not reimbursed to the Principal
     Underwriter during the most recent fiscal quarter are recoverable for five
     quarters, provided that the reimbursement of such commissions does not
     cause the fund to exceed the annual expense limit. After five quarters,
     these commissions are not recoverable. As of December 31, 2008,
     unreimbursed expenses which remain subject to reimbursement under the Plan
     for Class A shares totaled $4,453,000 or 0.02% of Class A net assets.

     CLASS B AND 529-B -- The Plans for Class B and 529-B shares provide for
     payments to the Principal Underwriter of up to 0.25% of the fund's average
     daily net assets attributable to such shares for paying service-related
     expenses and 0.75% for distribution-related expenses, which include the
     financing of commissions paid to qualified dealers.

     OTHER SHARE CLASSES (CLASS C, 529-C, F-1, 529-F-1, 529-E, R-1, R-2, R-3 AND
     R-4) -- The Plans for each of the other share classes that have adopted
     Plans provide for payments to the Principal Underwriter for paying
     service-related and distribution-related expenses of up to the following
     amounts of the fund's average daily net assets attributable to such shares:




                                                                        TOTAL

Approval of the Plans -- As required by rule 12b-1 and the 1940 Act, the Plans
(together with the Principal Underwriting Agreement) have been approved by the
full board of directors and separately by a majority of the independent
directors of the fund who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the
operation of the Plans or the Principal Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the
selection and nomination of independent directors of the fund are committed to
the discretion of the independent directors during the existence of the Plans.


Potential benefits of the Plans to the fund include quality shareholder
services, savings to the fund in transfer agency costs, and benefits to the
investment process from growth or stability of assets. The Plans may not be
amended to materially increase the amount spent for distribution without
shareholder approval. Plan expenses are reviewed quarterly by the board of
directors and the Plans must be renewed annually by the board of directors.


FEE TO VIRGINIA COLLEGE SAVINGS PLAN -- With respect to Class 529 shares, as
compensation for its oversight and administration, Virginia College Savings Plan
receives a quarterly fee accrued daily and calculated at the annual rate of
0.10% on the first $30 billion of the net assets invested in Class 529 shares of
the American Funds, 0.09% on net assets between $30 billion and $60 billion,
0.08% on net assets between $60 billion and $90 billion, 0.07% on net assets
between $90 billion and $120 billion, and 0.06% on net assets between $120
billion and $150 billion. The fee for any given calendar quarter is accrued and
calculated on the basis of average net assets of Class 529 shares of the
American Funds for the last month of the prior calendar quarter.

FUND EXPENSES -- In periods of market volatility, assets of the fund may decline
significantly, causing total annual fund operating expenses to become higher
than the numbers shown in the annual fund operating expenses table in the
prospectus.

                      EXECUTION OF PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The investment adviser places orders with broker-dealers for the fund's
portfolio transactions. Purchases and sales of equity securities on a securities
exchange or an over-the-counter market are effected through broker-dealers who
receive commissions for their services. Generally, commissions relating to
securities traded on foreign exchanges will be higher than commissions relating
to securities traded on U.S. exchanges and may not be subject to negotiation.
Equity securities may also be purchased from underwriters at prices that include
underwriting fees. Purchases and sales of fixed-income securities are generally
made with an issuer or a primary market-maker acting as principal with no stated
brokerage commission. The price paid to an underwriter for fixed-income
securities includes underwriting fees. Prices for fixed-income securities in
secondary trades usually include undisclosed compensation to the market-maker
reflecting the spread between the bid and ask prices for the securities.


In selecting broker-dealers, the investment adviser strives to obtain "best
execution" (the most favorable total price reasonably attainable under the
circumstances) for the fund's portfolio transactions, taking into account a
variety of factors. These factors include the size and type of transaction, the
nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold,
the cost, quality and reliability of the executions and the broker-dealer's
ability to offer liquidity and anonymity. The investment adviser considers these
factors, which involve qualitative judgments, when selecting broker-dealers and
execution venues for fund portfolio transactions. The investment adviser views
best execution as a process that should be evaluated over time as part of an
overall relationship with particular broker-dealer firms rather than on a
trade-by-trade basis. The fund does not consider the investment adviser as
having an obligation to obtain the lowest commission rate available for a
portfolio transaction to the exclusion of price, service and qualitative
considerations.


The investment adviser may execute portfolio transactions with broker-dealers
who provide certain brokerage and/or investment research services to it, but
only when in the investment adviser's judgment the broker-dealer is capable of
providing best execution for that transaction. The receipt of these services
permits the investment adviser to supplement its own research and analysis and
makes available the views of, and information from, individuals and the research
staffs of other firms. Such views and information may be provided in the form of
written reports, telephone contacts and meetings with securities analysts. These
services may include, among other things, reports and other communications with
respect to individual companies, industries, countries and regions, economic,
political and legal developments, as well as scheduling meetings with corporate
executives and seminars and conferences related to relevant subject matters. The
investment adviser considers these services to be supplemental to its own
internal research efforts and therefore the receipt of investment research from
broker-dealers does not tend to reduce the expenses involved in the investment
adviser's research efforts. If broker-dealers were to discontinue providing such
services it is unlikely the investment adviser would attempt to replicate them
on its own, in part because they would then no longer provide an independent,
supplemental viewpoint. Nonetheless, if it were to attempt to do so, the
investment adviser would incur substantial additional costs. Research services
that the investment adviser receives from broker-dealers may be used by the
investment adviser in servicing the fund and other funds and accounts that it
advises; however, not all such services will necessarily benefit the fund.


The investment adviser may pay commissions in excess of what other
broker-dealers might have charged - including on an execution-only basis - for
certain portfolio transactions in recognition of


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 39
<PAGE>


brokerage and/or investment research services provided by a broker-dealer. In
this regard, the investment adviser has adopted a brokerage allocation procedure
consistent with the requirements of Section 28(e) of the U.S. Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. Section 28(e) permits an investment adviser to cause an
account to pay a higher commission to a broker-dealer that provides certain
brokerage and/or investment research services to the investment adviser, if the
investment adviser makes a good faith determination that such commissions are
reasonable in relation to the value of the services provided by such
broker-dealer to the investment adviser in terms of that particular transaction
or the investment adviser's overall responsibility to the fund and other
accounts that it advises. Certain brokerage and/or investment research services
may not necessarily benefit all accounts paying commissions to each such
broker-dealer; therefore, the investment adviser assesses the reasonableness of
commissions in light of the total brokerage and investment research services
provided by each particular broker-dealer.


In accordance with its internal brokerage allocation procedure, each equity
investment division of the investment adviser periodically assesses the
brokerage and investment research services provided by each broker-dealer from
which it receives such services. Using its judgment, each equity investment
division of the investment adviser then creates lists with suggested levels of
commissions for particular broker-dealers and provides those lists to its
trading desks. Neither the investment adviser nor the fund incurs any obligation
to any broker-dealer to pay for research by generating trading commissions. The
actual level of business received by any broker-dealer may be less than the
suggested level of commissions and can, and often does, exceed the suggested
level in the normal course of business. As part of its ongoing relationships
with broker-dealers, the investment adviser routinely meets with firms,
typically at the firm's request, to discuss the level and quality of the
brokerage and research services provided, as well as the perceived value and
cost of such services. In valuing the brokerage and investment research services
the investment adviser receives from broker-dealers in connection with its good
faith determination of reasonableness, the investment adviser does not attribute
a dollar value to such services, but rather takes various factors into
consideration, including the quantity, quality and usefulness of the services to
the investment adviser.


The investment adviser seeks, on an ongoing basis, to determine what the
reasonable levels of commission rates are in the marketplace. The investment
adviser takes various considerations into account when evaluating such
reasonableness, including, (a) rates quoted by broker-dealers, (b) the size of a
particular transaction in terms of the number of shares and dollar amount, (c)
the complexity of a particular transaction, (d) the nature and character of the
markets on which a particular trade takes place, (e) the ability of a
broker-dealer to provide anonymity while executing trades, (f) the ability of a
broker-dealer to execute large trades while minimizing market impact, (g) the
extent to which a broker-dealer has put its own capital at risk, (h) the level
and type of business done with a particular broker-dealer over a period of time,
(i) historical commission rates, and (j) commission rates that other
institutional investors are paying.


When executing portfolio transactions in the same equity security for the funds
and accounts, or portions of funds and accounts, over which the investment
adviser, through its equity investment divisions, has investment discretion,
each of the investment divisions will normally aggregate its respective
purchases or sales and execute them as part of the same transaction or series of
transactions. When executing portfolio transactions in the same fixed-income
security for the fund and the other funds or accounts over which it or one of
its affiliated companies has investment discretion, the investment adviser will
normally aggregate such purchases or sales and execute them as part of the same
transaction or series of transactions. The objective of aggregating purchases
and sales of a security is to allocate executions in an equitable manner


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 40
<PAGE>


among the funds and other accounts that have concurrently authorized a
transaction in such security.


The investment adviser may place orders for the fund's portfolio transactions
with broker-dealers who have sold shares of the funds managed by the investment
adviser or its affiliated companies; however, it does not consider whether a
broker-dealer has sold shares of the funds managed by the investment adviser or
its affiliated companies when placing any such orders for the fund's portfolio
transactions.


Brokerage commissions paid on portfolio transactions for the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 amounted to $24,000, $29,000 and $48,000,
respectively.


The fund is required to disclose information regarding investments in the
securities of its "regular" broker-dealers (or parent companies of its regular
broker-dealers) that derive more than 15% of their revenue from broker-dealer,
underwriter or investment adviser activities. A regular broker-dealer is (a) one
of the 10 broker-dealers that received from the fund the largest amount of
brokerage commissions by participating, directly or indirectly, in the fund's
portfolio transactions during the fund's most recent fiscal year; (b) one of the
10 broker-dealers that engaged as principal in the largest dollar amount of
portfolio transactions of the fund during the fund's most recent fiscal year; or
(c) one of the 10 broker-dealers that sold the largest amount of securities of
the fund during the fund's most recent fiscal year.


At the end of the fund's most recent fiscal year, the fund's regular
broker-dealers included Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co., J.P.
Morgan Securities Inc., Lehman Brothers Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner &
Smith, Inc. and Morgan Stanley. As of the fund's most recent fiscal year-end,

                        DISCLOSURE OF PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The fund's investment adviser, on behalf of the fund, has adopted policies and
procedures with respect to the disclosure of information about fund portfolio
securities. These policies and procedures have been reviewed by the fund's board
of directors and compliance will be periodically assessed by the board in
connection with reporting from the fund's Chief Compliance Officer.


Under these policies and procedures, the fund's complete list of portfolio
holdings available for public disclosure, dated as of the end of each calendar
quarter, is permitted to be posted on the American Funds website no earlier than
the tenth day after such calendar quarter. In practice, the public portfolio
typically is posted on the website approximately 45 days after the end of the
calendar quarter. Such portfolio holdings information may then be disclosed to
any person pursuant to an ongoing arrangement to disclose portfolio holdings
information to such person no earlier than one day after the day on which the
information is posted on the American Funds website. The fund's custodian,
outside counsel and auditor, each of which requires portfolio holdings
information for legitimate business and fund oversight purposes, may receive the
information earlier.


Affiliated persons of the fund, including officers of the fund and employees of
the investment adviser and its affiliates, who receive portfolio holdings
information are subject to restrictions and limitations on the use and handling
of such information pursuant to applicable codes of ethics, including
requirements not to trade in securities based on confidential and proprietary
investment information, to maintain the confidentiality of such information, and
to preclear securities trades and report securities transactions activity, as
applicable. For more information on these restrictions and limitations, please
see the "Code of Ethics" section in this statement of additional information and
the Code of Ethics. Third party service providers of the fund, as described in
this statement of additional information, receiving such information are subject
to confidentiality obligations. When portfolio holdings information is disclosed
other than through the American Funds website to persons not affiliated with the
fund (which, as described above, would typically occur no earlier than one day
after the day on which the information is posted on the American Funds website),
such persons will be bound by agreements (including confidentiality agreements)
or fiduciary obligations that restrict and limit their use of the information to
legitimate business uses only. Neither the fund nor its investment adviser or
any affiliate thereof receives compensation or other consideration in connection
with the disclosure of information about portfolio securities.

Subject to board policies, the authority to disclose a fund's portfolio
holdings, and to establish policies with respect to such disclosure, resides
with the appropriate investment-related committees of the fund's investment
adviser. In exercising their authority, the committees determine whether
disclosure of information about the fund's portfolio securities is appropriate
and in the best interest of fund shareholders. The investment adviser has
implemented policies and procedures to address conflicts of interest that may
arise from the disclosure of fund holdings. For example, the investment
adviser's code of ethics specifically requires, among other things, the
safeguarding of information about fund holdings and contains prohibitions
designed to prevent the personal use of confidential, proprietary investment
information in a way that would conflict with fund transactions. In addition,
the investment adviser believes that its current policy of not selling portfolio
holdings information and not disclosing such information to unaffiliated third
parties until such holdings have been made public on the American Funds website
(other than to certain fund service providers for legitimate business and fund
oversight purposes) helps reduce potential conflicts of interest between fund
shareholders and the investment adviser and its affiliates.

                                PRICE OF SHARES

Shares are purchased at the offering price or sold at the net asset value price
next determined after the purchase or sell order is received and accepted by the
fund or the Transfer Agent; the offering or net asset value price is effective
for orders received prior to the time of determination of the net asset value
and, in the case of orders placed with dealers or their authorized designees,
accepted by the Principal Underwriter, the Transfer Agent, a dealer or any of
their designees. In the case of orders sent directly to the fund or the Transfer
Agent, an investment dealer should be indicated. The dealer is responsible for
promptly transmitting purchase and sell orders to the Principal Underwriter.


Orders received by the investment dealer or authorized designee, the Transfer
Agent or the fund after the time of the determination of the net asset value
will be entered at the next calculated offering price. Note that investment
dealers or other intermediaries may have their own rules about share
transactions and may have earlier cut-off times than those of the fund. For more
information about how to purchase through your intermediary, contact your
intermediary directly.


Prices that appear in the newspaper do not always indicate prices at which you
will be purchasing and redeeming shares of the fund, since such prices generally
reflect the previous day's closing price, while purchases and redemptions are
made at the next calculated price. The price you pay for shares, the offering
price, is based on the net asset value per share, which is calculated once daily
as of approximately 4 p.m. New York time, which is the normal close of trading
on the New York Stock Exchange, each day the Exchange is open. If, for example,
the Exchange closes at 1 p.m., the fund's share price would still be determined
as of 4 p.m. New York time. The New York Stock Exchange is currently closed on
weekends and on the following holidays: New Year's Day; Martin Luther King, Jr.
Day; Presidents' Day; Good Friday; Memorial Day; Independence Day; Labor Day;
Thanksgiving; and Christmas Day. Each share class of the fund has a separately
calculated net asset value (and share price).


All portfolio securities of funds managed by Capital Research and Management
Company (other than American Funds Money Market Fund) are valued, and the net
asset values per share for each share class are determined, as indicated below.
The fund follows standard industry practice by typically reflecting changes in
its holdings of portfolio securities on the first business day following a
portfolio trade.


Equity securities, including depositary receipts, are valued at the official
closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on
which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the
securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid
price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market
in which the security trades. Fixed-income securities are valued at prices
obtained from one or more independent pricing vendors, when such prices are
available; however, in circumstances where the investment adviser deems it
appropriate to do so, such securities will be valued in good faith at the mean
quoted bid and asked prices that are reasonably and timely available (or bid
prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of
comparable maturity, quality and type. The pricing vendors base bond prices on,
among other things, valuation matrices which may incorporate dealer-supplied
valuations, proprietary pricing models and an evaluation of the yield curve as
of approximately 3 p.m. New York time. The fund's investment adviser performs
certain checks on these prices prior to calculation of the fund's net asset
value.


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 44
<PAGE>


Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics (e.g., convertible
bonds, preferred stocks, units comprised of more than one type of security,
etc.), or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers, are
valued in the manner described above for either equity or fixed-income
securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the
investment adviser.

Securities with original maturities of one year or less having 60 days or less
to maturity are amortized to maturity based on their cost if acquired within 60
days of maturity, or if already held on the 60th day, based on the value
determined on the 61st day. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean of
representative quoted bid and asked prices.


Assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of currencies other than U.S.
dollars are translated prior to the next determination of the net asset value of
the fund's shares into U.S. dollars at the prevailing market rates.


Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available or
are considered unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith
under policies approved by the fund's board. Subject to board oversight, the
fund's board has delegated the obligation to make fair valuation determinations
to a valuation committee established by the fund's investment adviser. The board
receives regular reports describing fair-valued securities and the valuation
methods used.


The valuation committee has adopted guidelines and procedures (consistent with
SEC rules and guidance) to consider certain relevant principles and factors when
making all fair value determinations. As a general principle, securities lacking
readily available market quotations, or that have quotations that are considered
unreliable by the investment adviser, are valued in good faith by the valuation
committee based upon what the fund might reasonably expect to receive upon their
current sale. Fair valuations and valuations of investments that are not
actively trading involve judgment and may differ materially from valuations that
would have been used had greater market activity occurred. The valuation
committee considers relevant indications of value that are reasonably and timely
available to it in determining the fair value to be assigned to a particular
security, such as the type and cost of the security, contractual or legal
restrictions on resale of the security, relevant financial or business
developments of the issuer, actively traded similar or related securities,
conversion or exchange rights on the security, related corporate actions,
significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security and
changes in overall market conditions.


Each class of shares represents interests in the same portfolio of investments
and is identical in all respects to each other class, except for differences
relating to distribution, service and other charges and expenses, certain voting
rights, differences relating to eligible investors, the designation of each
class of shares, conversion features and exchange privileges. Expenses
attributable to the fund, but not to a particular class of shares, are borne by
each class pro rata based on relative aggregate net assets of the classes.
Expenses directly attributable to a class of shares are borne by that class of
shares. Liabilities, including accruals of taxes and other expense items
attributable to particular share classes, are deducted from total assets
attributable to such share classes.


Net assets so obtained for each share class are divided by the total number of
shares outstanding of that share class, and the result, rounded to the nearest
cent, is the net asset value per share for that share class.

                            TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

FUND TAXATION -- The fund has elected to be treated as a regulated investment
company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). A
regulated investment company qualifying under Subchapter M of the Code is
required to distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its investment
company taxable income (including the excess of net short-term capital gain over
net long-term capital losses) and generally is not subject to federal income tax
to the extent that it distributes annually 100% of its investment company
taxable income and net realized capital gains in the manner required under the
Code. The fund intends to distribute annually all of its investment company
taxable income and net realized capital gains and therefore does not expect to
pay federal income tax, although in certain circumstances the fund may determine
that it is in the interest of shareholders to distribute less than that amount.


To be treated as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code,
the fund must also (a) derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends,
interest, payments with respect to securities loans, net income from certain
publicly traded partnerships and gains from the sale or other disposition of
securities or foreign currencies, or other income (including, but not limited
to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts) derived with respect to
the business of investing in such securities or currencies, and (b) diversify
its holdings so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, (i) at least 50% of the
market value of the fund's assets is represented by cash, U.S. government
securities and securities of other regulated investment companies, and other
securities (for purposes of this calculation, generally limited in respect of
any one issuer, to an amount not greater than 5% of the market value of the
fund's assets and 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer) and
(ii) not more than 25% of the value of its assets is invested in the securities
of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities or the securities of
other regulated investment companies), two or more issuers which the fund
controls and which are determined to be engaged in the same or similar trades or
businesses or the securities of certain publicly traded partnerships.


Under the Code, a nondeductible excise tax of 4% is imposed on the excess of a
regulated investment company's "required distribution" for the calendar year
ending within the regulated investment company's taxable year over the
"distributed amount" for such calendar year. The term "required distribution"
generally means the sum of (a) 98% of ordinary income (generally net investment
income) for the calendar year, (b) 98% of capital gain (both long-term and
short-term) for the one-year period ending on October 31 (as though the one-year
period ending on October 31 were the regulated investment company's taxable
year) and (c) the sum of any untaxed, undistributed net investment income and
net capital gains of the regulated investment company for prior periods. The
term "distributed amount" generally means the sum of (a) amounts actually
distributed by the fund from its current year's ordinary income and capital gain
net income and (b) any amount on which the fund pays income tax during the
periods described above. Although the fund intends to distribute its net
investment income and net capital gains so as to avoid excise tax liability, the
fund may determine that it is in the interest of shareholders to distribute a
lesser amount.


The following information may not apply to you if you hold fund shares in a
tax-deferred account, such as a retirement plan or education savings account.
Please see your tax adviser for more information.


DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS -- Dividends and capital gain
distributions on fund shares will be reinvested in shares of the fund of the
same class, unless shareholders indicate in


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 46
<PAGE>



writing that they wish to receive them in cash or in shares of the same class of
other American Funds, as provided in the prospectus. Dividends and capital gain
distributions by 529 share classes will be automatically reinvested.


Distributions of investment company taxable income and net realized capital
gains to shareholders will be taxable whether received in shares or in cash,
unless such shareholders are exempt from taxation. Shareholders electing to
receive distributions in the form of additional shares will have a cost basis
for federal income tax purposes in each share so received equal to the net asset
value of that share on the reinvestment date. Dividends and capital gain
distributions by the fund to a tax-deferred retirement plan account are not
taxable currently. When a dividend or a capital gain is distributed by the fund,
the net asset value per share is reduced by the amount of the payment.


     DIVIDENDS -- The fund intends to follow the practice of distributing
     substantially all of its investment company taxable income. Investment
     company taxable income generally includes dividends, interest, net
     short-term capital gains in excess of net long-term capital losses, and
     certain foreign currency gains, if any, less expenses and certain foreign
     currency losses.

     Under the Code, gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange
     rates that occur between the time the fund accrues receivables or
     liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the fund
     actually collects such receivables, or pays such liabilities, generally are
     treated as ordinary income or ordinary loss. Similarly, on disposition of
     debt securities denominated in a foreign currency and on disposition of
     certain futures contracts, forward contracts and options, gains or losses
     attributable to fluctuations in the value of foreign currency between the
     date of acquisition of the security or contract and the date of disposition
     are also treated as ordinary gain or loss. These gains or losses, referred
     to under the Code as Section 988 gains or losses, may increase or decrease
     the amount of the fund's investment company taxable income to be
     distributed to its shareholders as ordinary income.


     If the fund invests in stock of certain passive foreign investment
     companies, the fund may be subject to U.S. federal income taxation on a
     portion of any "excess distribution" with respect to, or gain from the
     disposition of, such stock. The tax would be determined by allocating such
     distribution or gain ratably to each day of the fund's holding period for
     the stock. The distribution or gain so allocated to any taxable year of the
     fund, other than the taxable year of the excess distribution or
     disposition, would be taxed to the fund at the highest ordinary income rate
     in effect for such year, and the tax would be further increased by an
     interest charge to reflect the value of the tax deferral deemed to have
     resulted from the ownership of the foreign company's stock. Any amount of
     distribution or gain allocated to the taxable year of the distribution or
     disposition would be included in the fund's investment company taxable
     income and, accordingly, would not be taxable to the fund to the extent
     distributed by the fund as a dividend to its shareholders.


     To avoid such tax and interest, the fund intends to elect to treat these
     securities as sold on the last day of its fiscal year and recognize any
     gains for tax purposes at that time. Under this election, deductions for
     losses are allowable only to the extent of any prior recognized gains, and
     both gains and losses will be treated as ordinary income or loss. The fund
     will be required to distribute any resulting income, even though it has not
     sold the security and received cash to pay such distributions. Upon
     disposition of these


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 47
<PAGE>


     securities, any gain recognized is treated as ordinary income and loss is
     treated as ordinary loss to the extent of any prior recognized gain.


     Dividends from domestic corporations may comprise some portion of the
     fund's gross income. To the extent that such dividends constitute any of
     the fund's gross income, a portion of the income distributions of the fund
     to corporate shareholders may be eligible for the deduction for dividends
     received by corporations. Corporate shareholders will be informed of the
     portion of dividends that so qualifies. The dividends-received deduction is
     reduced to the extent that either the fund shares, or the underlying shares
     of stock held by the fund, with respect to which dividends are received,
     are treated as debt-financed under federal income tax law, and is
     eliminated if the shares are deemed to have been held by the shareholder or
     the fund, as the case may be, for less than 46 days during the 91-day
     period beginning on the date that is 45 days before the date on which the
     shares become ex-dividend. Capital gain distributions are not eligible for
     the dividends-received deduction.


     A portion of the difference between the issue price of zero coupon
     securities and their face value (original issue discount) is considered to
     be income to the fund each year, even though the fund will not receive cash
     interest payments from these securities. This original issue discount
     (imputed income) will comprise a part of the investment company taxable
     income of the fund that must be distributed to shareholders in order to
     maintain the qualification of the fund as a regulated investment company
     and to avoid federal income taxation at the level of the fund.


     The price of a bond purchased after its original issuance may reflect
     market discount which, depending on the particular circumstances, may
     affect the tax character and amount of income required to be recognized by
     a fund holding the bond. In determining whether a bond is purchased with
     market discount, certain de minimis rules apply.


     Dividend and interest income received by the fund from sources outside the
     United States may be subject to withholding and other taxes imposed by such
     foreign jurisdictions. Tax conventions between certain countries and the
     United States, however, may reduce or eliminate these foreign taxes. Some
     foreign countries impose taxes on capital gains with respect to investments
     by foreign investors.


     CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS -- The fund also intends to distribute its net
     capital gain each year. The fund's net capital gain is the entire excess of
     net realized long-term capital gains over net realized short-term capital
     losses. Net capital gains for a fiscal year are computed by taking into
     account any capital loss carryforward of the fund.

     If any net long-term capital gains in excess of net short-term capital
     losses are retained by the fund for reinvestment, requiring federal income
     taxes to be paid thereon by the fund, the fund intends to elect to treat
     such capital gains as having been distributed to shareholders. As a result,
     each shareholder will report such capital gains as long-term capital gains
     taxable to individual shareholders at a maximum 15% capital gains rate,
     will be able to claim a pro rata share of federal income taxes paid by the
     fund on such gains as a credit against personal federal income tax
     liability, and will be entitled to increase the adjusted tax basis on fund
     shares by the difference between a pro rata share of the retained gains and
     such shareholder's related tax credit.


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 48
<PAGE>


SHAREHOLDER TAXATION -- In January of each year, individual shareholders holding
fund shares in taxable accounts will receive a statement of the federal income
tax status of all distributions. Shareholders of the fund also may be subject to
state and local taxes on distributions received from the fund.


     DIVIDENDS -- Fund dividends are taxable to shareholders as ordinary income.
     All or a portion of a fund's dividend distribution may be a "qualified
     dividend." If the fund meets the applicable holding period requirement, it
     will distribute dividends derived from qualified corporation dividends to
     shareholders as qualified dividends. Interest income from bonds and money
     market instruments and nonqualified foreign dividends will be distributed
     to shareholders as nonqualified fund dividends. The fund will report on
     Form 1099-DIV the amount of each shareholder's dividend that may be treated
     as a qualified dividend. If a shareholder other than a corporation meets
     the requisite holding period requirement, qualified dividends are taxable
     at a maximum rate of 15%.

     CAPITAL GAINS -- Distributions of net capital gain that the fund properly
     designates as "capital gain dividends" generally will be taxable as
     long-term capital gain, regardless of the length of time the shares of the
     fund have been held by a shareholder. For non-corporate shareholders, a
     capital gain distribution by the fund is subject to a maximum tax rate of
     15%. Any loss realized upon the redemption of shares held at the time of
     redemption for six months or less from the date of their purchase will be
     treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any amounts treated as
     distributions of long-term capital gains (including any undistributed
     amounts treated as distributed capital gains, as described above) during
     such six-month period.

Distributions by the fund result in a reduction in the net asset value of the
fund's shares. Investors should consider the tax implications of buying shares
just prior to a distribution. The price of shares purchased at that time
includes the amount of the forthcoming distribution. Those purchasing just prior
to a distribution will subsequently receive a partial return of their investment
capital upon payment of the distribution, which will be taxable to them.


Redemptions of shares, including exchanges for shares of other American Funds,
may result in federal, state and local tax consequences (gain or loss) to the
shareholder.


If a shareholder exchanges or otherwise disposes of shares of the fund within 90
days of having acquired such shares, and if, as a result of having acquired
those shares, the shareholder subsequently pays a reduced sales charge for
shares of the fund, or of a different fund, the sales charge previously incurred
in acquiring the fund's shares will not be taken into account (to the extent
such previous sales charges do not exceed the reduction in sales charges) for
the purposes of determining the amount of gain or loss on the exchange, but will
be treated as having been incurred in the acquisition of such other fund(s).


Any loss realized on a redemption or exchange of shares of the fund will be
disallowed to the extent substantially identical shares are reacquired within
the 61-day period beginning 30 days before and ending 30 days after the shares
are disposed of. Any loss disallowed under this rule will be added to the
shareholder's tax basis in the new shares purchased.


The fund will be required to report to the IRS all distributions of investment
company taxable income and capital gains as well as gross proceeds from the
redemption or exchange of fund shares, except in the case of certain exempt
shareholders. Under the backup withholding


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 49
<PAGE>



provisions of Section 3406 of the Code, distributions of investment company
taxable income and capital gains and proceeds from the redemption or exchange of
a regulated investment company may be subject to backup withholding of federal
income tax in the case of non-exempt U.S. shareholders who fail to furnish the
fund with their taxpayer identification numbers and with required certifications
regarding their status under the federal income tax law. Withholding may also be
required if the fund is notified by the IRS or a broker that the taxpayer
identification number furnished by the shareholder is incorrect or that the
shareholder has previously failed to report interest or dividend income. If the
withholding provisions are applicable, any such distributions and proceeds,
whether taken in cash or reinvested in additional shares, will be reduced by the
amounts required to be withheld.


The foregoing discussion of U.S. federal income tax law relates solely to the
application of that law to U.S. persons (i.e., U.S. citizens and residents and
U.S. corporations, partnerships, trusts and estates). Each shareholder who is
not a U.S. person should consider the U.S. and foreign tax consequences of
ownership of shares of the fund, including the possibility that such a
shareholder may be subject to a U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or a
lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on dividend income received by
the shareholder.


Shareholders should consult their tax advisers about the application of federal,
state and local tax law in light of their particular situation.

     You may contact American Funds Service Company at 800/421-0180 if you have
     questions about making wire transfers.

OTHER PURCHASE INFORMATION -- The Principal Underwriter will not knowingly sell
shares of the fund directly or indirectly to any person or entity, where, after
the sale, such person or entity would own beneficially directly or indirectly
more than 3% of the outstanding shares of the fund without the consent of a
majority of the fund's board.


Class 529 shares may be purchased only through CollegeAmerica by investors
establishing qualified higher education savings accounts. Class 529-E shares may
be purchased only by investors participating in CollegeAmerica through an
eligible employer plan. The American Funds state tax-exempt funds are qualified
for sale only in certain jurisdictions, and tax-exempt funds in general should
not serve as retirement plan investments. In addition, the fund and the
Principal Underwriter reserve the right to reject any purchase order.


Class R-5 and R-6 shares may be made available to certain charitable foundations
organized and maintained by The Capital Group Companies, Inc. or its affiliates.


Class R-5 and R-6 shares may also be made available to the Virginia College
Savings Plan for use in the Virginia Education Savings Trust and the Virginia
Prepaid Education Program.


PURCHASE MINIMUMS AND MAXIMUMS -- All investments are subject to the purchase
minimums and maximums described in the prospectus. As noted in the prospectus,
purchase minimums may be waived or reduced in certain cases.


In the case of American Funds non-tax-exempt funds, the initial purchase minimum
of $25 may be waived for the following account types:


     .    Payroll deduction retirement plan accounts (such as, but not limited
          to, 403(b), 401(k), SIMPLE IRA, SARSEP and deferred compensation plan
          accounts); and

     .    Employer-sponsored CollegeAmerica accounts.

The following account types may be established without meeting the initial
purchase minimum:


     .    Retirement accounts that are funded with employer contributions; and

     .    Accounts that are funded with monies set by court decree.


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 52
<PAGE>


The following account types may be established without meeting the initial
purchase minimum, but shareholders wishing to invest in two or more funds must
meet the normal initial purchase minimum of each fund:


     .    Accounts that are funded with (a) transfers of assets, (b) rollovers
          from retirement plans, (c) rollovers from 529 college savings plans or
          (d) required minimum distribution automatic exchanges; and

     .    American Funds money market fund accounts registered in the name of
          clients of Capital Guardian Trust Company's Personal Investment
          Management group.

Certain accounts held on the fund's books, known as omnibus accounts, contain
multiple underlying accounts that are invested in shares of the fund. These
underlying accounts are maintained by entities such as financial intermediaries
and are subject to the applicable initial purchase minimums as described in the
prospectus and this statement of additional information. However, in the case
where the entity maintaining these accounts aggregates the accounts' purchase
orders for fund shares, such accounts are not required to meet the fund's
minimum amount for subsequent purchases.


EXCHANGES -- You may only exchange shares into other American Funds within the
same share class. However, exchanges from Class A shares of American Funds Money
Market Fund may be made to Class C shares of other American Funds for dollar
cost averaging purposes. Exchanges are not permitted from Class A shares of
American Funds Money Market Fund to Class C shares of Intermediate Bond Fund of
America, Limited Term Tax-Exempt Bond Fund of America or Short-Term Bond Fund of
America. Exchange purchases are subject to the minimum investment requirements
of the fund purchased and no sales charge generally applies. However, exchanges
of shares from American Funds Money Market Fund are subject to applicable sales
charges, unless the American Funds Money Market Fund shares were acquired by an
exchange from a fund having a sales charge, or by reinvestment or
cross-reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. Exchanges of
Class F shares generally may only be made through fee-based programs of
investment firms that have special agreements with the fund's distributor and
certain registered investment advisers.


You may exchange shares of other classes by contacting the Transfer Agent, by
contacting your investment dealer or financial adviser, by using American
FundsLine or americanfunds.com, or by telephoning 800/421-0180 toll-free, or
faxing (see "American Funds Service Company service areas" in the prospectus for
the appropriate fax numbers) the Transfer Agent. For more information, see
"Shareholder account services and privileges" in this statement of additional
information. THESE TRANSACTIONS HAVE THE SAME TAX CONSEQUENCES AS ORDINARY SALES
AND PURCHASES.


Shares held in employer-sponsored retirement plans may be exchanged into other
American Funds by contacting your plan administrator or recordkeeper. Exchange
redemptions and purchases are processed simultaneously at the share prices next
determined after the exchange order is received (see "Price of shares" in this
statement of additional information).


FREQUENT TRADING OF FUND SHARES -- As noted in the prospectus, certain
redemptions may trigger a purchase block lasting 30 calendar days under the
fund's "purchase blocking policy." Under this policy, systematic redemptions
will not trigger a purchase block and systematic purchases will not be
prevented. For purposes of this policy, systematic redemptions include, for


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 53
<PAGE>


example, regular periodic automatic redemptions and statement of intention
escrow share redemptions. Systematic purchases include, for example, regular
periodic automatic purchases and automatic reinvestments of dividends and
capital gain distributions.


OTHER POTENTIALLY ABUSIVE ACTIVITY -- In addition to implementing purchase
blocks, American Funds Service Company will monitor for other types of activity
that could potentially be harmful to the American Funds - for example,
short-term trading activity in multiple funds. When identified, American Funds
Service Company will request that the shareholder discontinue the activity. If
the activity continues, American Funds Service Company will freeze the
shareholder account to prevent all activity other than redemptions of fund
shares.


MOVING BETWEEN SHARE CLASSES

     If you wish to "move" your investment between share classes (within the
     same fund or between different funds), we generally will process your
     request as an exchange of the shares you currently hold for shares in the
     new class or fund. Below is more information about how sales charges are
     handled for various scenarios.

     EXCHANGING CLASS B SHARES FOR CLASS A SHARES -- If you exchange Class B
     shares for Class A shares during the contingent deferred sales charge
     period you are responsible for paying any applicable deferred sales charges
     attributable to those Class B shares, but you will not be required to pay a
     Class A sales charge. If, however, you exchange your Class B shares for
     Class A shares after the contingent deferred sales charge period, you are
     responsible for paying any applicable Class A sales charges.

     EXCHANGING CLASS C SHARES FOR CLASS A SHARES -- If you exchange Class C
     shares for Class A shares, you are still responsible for paying any Class C
     contingent deferred sales charges and applicable Class A sales charges.

     EXCHANGING CLASS C SHARES FOR CLASS F SHARES -- If you are part of a
     qualified fee-based program and you wish to exchange your Class C shares
     for Class F shares to be held in the program, you are still responsible for
     paying any applicable Class C contingent deferred sales charges.

     EXCHANGING CLASS F SHARES FOR CLASS A SHARES -- You can exchange Class F
     shares held in a qualified fee-based program for Class A shares without
     paying an initial Class A sales charge if all of the following requirements
     are met: (a) you are leaving or have left the fee-based program, (b) you
     have held the Class F shares in the program for at least one year, and (c)
     you notify American Funds Service Company of your request. If you have
     already redeemed your Class F shares, the foregoing requirements apply and
     you must purchase Class A shares within 90 days after redeeming your Class
     F shares to receive the Class A shares without paying an initial Class A
     sales charge.

     EXCHANGING CLASS A SHARES FOR CLASS F SHARES -- If you are part of a
     qualified fee-based program and you wish to exchange your Class A shares
     for Class F shares to be held in the program, any Class A sales charges
     (including contingent deferred sales charges) that you paid or are payable
     will not be credited back to your account.

     EXCHANGING CLASS A SHARES FOR CLASS R SHARES -- Provided it is eligible to
     invest in Class R shares, a retirement plan currently invested in Class A
     shares may exchange its


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 54
<PAGE>


     shares for Class R shares. Any Class A sales charges that the retirement
     plan previously paid will not be credited back to the plan's account.

     EXCHANGING CLASS F-1 SHARES FOR CLASS F-2 SHARES -- If you are part of a
     qualified fee-based program that offers Class F-2 shares, you may exchange
     your Class F-1 shares for Class F-2 shares to be held in the program.

     MOVING BETWEEN OTHER SHARE CLASSES -- If you desire to move your investment
     between share classes and the particular scenario is not described in this
     statement of additional information, please contact American Funds Service
     Company at 800/421-0180 for more information.

     NON-REPORTABLE TRANSACTIONS -- Automatic conversions described in the
     prospectus will be non-reportable for tax purposes. In addition, except in
     the case of a movement between a 529 share class and a non-529 share class,
     an exchange of shares from one share class of a fund to another share class
     of the same fund will be treated as a non-reportable exchange for tax
     purposes, provided that the exchange request is received in writing by
     American Funds Service Company and processed as a single transaction.

                                 SALES CHARGES

CLASS A PURCHASES


     PURCHASES BY CERTAIN 403(B) PLANS

     A 403(b) plan may not invest in Class A or C shares unless such plan was
     invested in Class A or C shares before January 1, 2009.

     Participant accounts of a 403(b) plan that were treated as an
     individual-type plan for sales charge purposes before January 1, 2009, may
     continue to be treated as accounts of an individual-type plan for sales
     charge purposes. Participant accounts of a 403(b) plan that were treated as
     an employer-sponsored plan for sales charge purposes before January 1,
     2009, may continue to be treated as accounts of an employer-sponsored plan
     for sales charge purposes. Participant accounts of a 403(b) plan that is
     established on or after January 1, 2009 are treated as accounts of an
     employer-sponsored plan for sales charge purposes.

     PURCHASES BY SEP PLANS AND SIMPLE IRA PLANS

     Participant accounts in a Simplified Employee Pension (SEP) plan or a
     Savings Incentive Match Plan for Employees of Small Employers IRA (SIMPLE
     IRA) plan will be aggregated together for Class A sales charge purposes if
     the SEP plan or SIMPLE IRA plan was established after November 15, 2004 by
     an employer adopting a prototype plan produced by American Funds
     Distributors, Inc. In the case where the employer adopts any other plan
     (including, but not limited to, an IRS model agreement), each participant's
     account in the plan will be aggregated with the participant's own personal
     investments that qualify under the aggregation policy. A SEP plan or SIMPLE
     IRA plan with a certain method of aggregating participant accounts as of
     November 15, 2004 may continue with that method so long as the employer has
     not modified the plan document since that date.

     OTHER PURCHASES

     Pursuant to a determination of eligibility by a vice president or more
     senior officer of the Capital Research and Management Company Fund

          including parents and children in step and adoptive relationships,
          sons-in-law and daughters-in-law, and (c) parents-in-law, if the

          parents and/or children;

     (3)  currently registered investment advisers ("RIAs") and assistants

          recognized under local law, (b) parents and children, including
          parents and children in step and adoptive relationships, sons-in-law
          and daughters-in-law and (c) parents-in-law, if the Eligible Persons

          Principal Underwriter, who are solely dedicated to directly supporting
          the sale of mutual funds.

     Shares are offered at net asset value to these persons and organizations
     due to anticipated economies in sales effort and expense. Once an account
     is established under this net asset value privilege, additional investments
     can be made at net asset value for the life of the account.

     TRANSFERS TO COLLEGEAMERICA -- A transfer from the Virginia Prepaid
     Education Program/SM/ or the Virginia Education Savings Trust/SM/ to a
     CollegeAmerica account will be made with no sales charge. No commission
     will be paid to the dealer on such a transfer.


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 57
<PAGE>


MOVING BETWEEN ACCOUNTS -- Investments in certain account types may be moved to
other account types without incurring additional Class A sales charges. These
transactions include, for example:


     .    redemption proceeds from a non-retirement account (for example, a
          joint tenant account) used to purchase fund shares in an IRA or other
          individual-type retirement account;

     .    required minimum distributions from an IRA or other individual-type
          retirement account used to purchase fund shares in a non-retirement
          account; and

     .    death distributions paid to a beneficiary's account that are used by
          the beneficiary to purchase fund shares in a different account.

LOAN REPAYMENTS -- Repayments on loans taken from a retirement plan or an
individual-type retirement account are not subject to sales charges if American
Funds Service Company is notified of the repayment.


DEALER COMMISSIONS AND COMPENSATION -- Commissions (up to 1.00%) are paid to
dealers who initiate and are responsible for certain Class A share purchases not
subject to initial sales charges. These purchases consist of purchases of $1
million or more, purchases by employer-sponsored defined contribution-type
retirement plans investing $1 million or more or with 100 or more eligible
employees, and purchases made at net asset value by certain retirement plans,
endowments and foundations with assets of $50 million or more. Commissions on
such investments (other than IRA rollover assets that roll over at no sales
charge under the fund's IRA rollover policy as described in the prospectus) are
paid to dealers at the following rates: 1.00% on amounts of less than $4
million, 0.50% on amounts of at least $4 million but less than $10 million and
0.25% on amounts of at least $10 million. Commissions are based on cumulative
investments over the life of the account with no adjustment for redemptions,
transfers, or market declines. For example, if a shareholder has accumulated
investments in excess of $4 million (but less than $10 million) and subsequently
redeems all or a portion of the account(s), purchases following the redemption
will generate a dealer commission of 0.50%.


A dealer concession of up to 1% may be paid by the fund under its Class A plan
of distribution to reimburse the Principal Underwriter in connection with dealer
and wholesaler compensation paid by it with respect to investments made with no
initial sales charge.

                      SALES CHARGE REDUCTIONS AND WAIVERS

REDUCING YOUR CLASS A SALES CHARGE -- As described in the prospectus, there are
various ways to reduce your sales charge when purchasing Class A shares.
Additional information about Class A sales charge reductions is provided below.


     STATEMENT OF INTENTION -- By establishing a statement of intention (the
     "Statement"), you enter into a nonbinding commitment to purchase shares of
     the American Funds (excluding American Funds Money Market Fund) over a
     13-month period and receive the same sales charge (expressed as a
     percentage of your purchases) as if all shares had been purchased at once,
     unless the Statement is upgraded as described below.

     The Statement period starts on the date on which your first purchase made
     toward satisfying the Statement is processed. The market value of your
     existing holdings eligible to be aggregated (see below) as of the day
     immediately before the start of the Statement period may be credited toward
     satisfying the Statement.

     You may revise the commitment you have made in your Statement upward at any
     time during the Statement period. If your prior commitment has not been met
     by the time of the revision, the Statement period during which purchases
     must be made will remain unchanged. Purchases made from the date of the
     revision will receive the reduced sales charge, if any, resulting from the
     revised Statement. If your prior commitment has been met by the time of the
     revision, your original Statement will be considered met and a new
     Statement will be established.

     The Statement will be considered completed if the shareholder dies within
     the 13-month Statement period. Commissions to dealers will not be adjusted
     or paid on the difference between the Statement amount and the amount
     actually invested before the shareholder's death.

     When a shareholder elects to use a Statement, shares equal to 5% of the
     dollar amount specified in the Statement may be held in escrow in the
     shareholder's account out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases,
     if necessary) by the Transfer Agent. All dividends and any capital gain
     distributions on shares held in escrow will be credited to the
     shareholder's account in shares (or paid in cash, if requested). If the
     intended investment is not completed within the specified Statement period,
     the purchaser may be required to remit to the Principal Underwriter the
     difference between the sales charge actually paid and the sales charge
     which would have been paid if the total of such purchases had been made at
     a single time. Any dealers assigned to the shareholder's account at the
     time a purchase was made during the Statement period will receive a
     corresponding commission adjustment if appropriate. If the difference is
     not paid by the close of the Statement period, the appropriate number of
     shares held in escrow will be redeemed to pay such difference. If the
     proceeds from this redemption are inadequate, the purchaser may be liable
     to the Principal Underwriter for the balance still outstanding.

     Certain payroll deduction retirement plans purchasing Class A shares under
     a Statement on or before November 12, 2006, may continue to purchase Class
     A shares at the sales charge determined by that particular Statement until
     the plans' values reach the amounts specified in their Statements. Upon
     reaching such amounts, the Statements for these plans will be deemed
     completed and will terminate. In addition, effective May 1, 2009, the


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 59
<PAGE>


     Statements for these plans will expire if they have not been met by the
     next anniversary of the establishment of such Statement. After such
     termination, these plans are eligible for additional sales charge
     reductions by meeting the criteria under the fund's rights of accumulation
     policy.

     In addition, if you currently have individual holdings in American Legacy
     variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies that were
     established on or before March 31, 2007, you may continue to apply
     purchases under such contracts and policies to a Statement.

     Shareholders purchasing shares at a reduced sales charge under a Statement
     indicate their acceptance of these terms and those in the prospectus with
     their first purchase.

     AGGREGATION -- Qualifying investments for aggregation include those made by
     you and your "immediate family" as defined in the prospectus, if all
     parties are purchasing shares for their own accounts and/or:

     .    individual-type employee benefit plans, such as an IRA,
          single-participant Keogh-type plan, or a participant account of a
          403(b) plan that is treated as an individual-type plan for sales
          charge purposes (see "Purchases by certain 403(b) plans" under "Sales
          charges" in this statement of additional information);

     .    SEP plans and SIMPLE IRA plans established after November 15, 2004 by
          an employer adopting any plan document other than a prototype plan
          produced by American Funds Distributors, Inc.;

     .    business accounts solely controlled by you or your immediate family
          (for example, you own the entire business);

     .    trust accounts established by you or your immediate family (for trusts
          with only one primary beneficiary, upon the trustor's death the trust
          account may be aggregated with such beneficiary's own accounts; for
          trusts with multiple primary beneficiaries, upon the trustor's death
          the trustees of the trust may instruct American Funds Service Company
          to establish separate trust accounts for each primary beneficiary;
          each primary beneficiary's separate trust account may then be
          aggregated with such beneficiary's own accounts);

     .    endowments or foundations established and controlled by you or your
          immediate family; or

     .    529 accounts, which will be aggregated at the account owner level
          (Class 529-E accounts may only be aggregated with an eligible employer
          plan).

     Individual purchases by a trustee(s) or other fiduciary(ies) may also be
     aggregated if the investments are:

     .    for a single trust estate or fiduciary account, including employee
          benefit plans other than the individual-type employee benefit plans
          described above;

     .    made for two or more employee benefit plans of a single employer or of
          affiliated employers as defined in the 1940 Act, excluding the
          individual-type employee benefit plans described above;


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 60
<PAGE>


     .    for a diversified common trust fund or other diversified pooled
          account not specifically formed for the purpose of accumulating fund
          shares;

     .    for nonprofit, charitable or educational organizations, or any
          endowments or foundations established and controlled by such
          organizations, or any employer-sponsored retirement plans established
          for the benefit of the employees of such organizations, their
          endowments, or their foundations;

     .    for participant accounts of a 403(b) plan that is treated as an
          employer-sponsored plan for sales charge purposes (see "Purchases by
          certain 403(b) plans" under "Sales charges" in this statement of
          additional information), or made for participant accounts of two or
          more such plans, in each case of a single employer or affiliated
          employers as defined in the 1940 Act; or

     .    for a SEP or SIMPLE IRA plan established after November 15, 2004 by an
          employer adopting a prototype plan produced by American Funds
          Distributors, Inc.

     Purchases made for nominee or street name accounts (securities held in the
     name of an investment dealer or another nominee such as a bank trust
     department instead of the customer) may not be aggregated with those made
     for other accounts and may not be aggregated with other nominee or street
     name accounts unless otherwise qualified as described above.

     CONCURRENT PURCHASES -- As described in the prospectus, you may reduce your
     Class A sales charge by combining purchases of all classes of shares in the
     American Funds, as well as holdings in Endowments and applicable holdings
     in the American Funds Target Date Retirement Series. Shares of money market
     funds purchased through an exchange, reinvestment or cross-reinvestment
     from a fund having a sales charge also qualify. However, direct purchases
     of American Funds Money Market Fund are excluded. If you currently have
     individual holdings in American Legacy variable annuity contracts or
     variable life insurance policies that were established on or before March
     31, 2007, you may continue to combine purchases made under such contracts
     and policies to reduce your Class A sales charge.

     RIGHTS OF ACCUMULATION -- Subject to the limitations described in the
     aggregation policy, you may take into account your accumulated holdings in
     all share classes of the American Funds, as well as your holdings in
     Endowments and applicable holdings in the American Funds Target Date
     Retirement Series, to determine your sales charge on investments in
     accounts eligible to be aggregated. Direct purchases of American Funds
     Money Market Fund are excluded. Subject to your investment dealer's or
     recordkeeper's capabilities, your accumulated holdings will be calculated
     as the higher of (a) the current value of your existing holdings (the
     "market value") as of the day prior to your American Funds investment or
     (b) the amount you invested (including reinvested dividends and capital
     gains, but excluding capital appreciation) less any withdrawals (the "cost
     value"). Depending on the entity on whose books your account is held, the
     value of your holdings in that account may not be eligible for calculation
     at cost value. For example, accounts held in nominee or street name may not
     be eligible for calculation at cost value and instead may be calculated at
     market value for purposes of rights of accumulation.


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 61
<PAGE>


     The value of all of your holdings in accounts established in calendar year
     2005 or earlier will be assigned an initial cost value equal to the market
     value of those holdings as of the last business day of 2005. Thereafter,
     the cost value of such accounts will increase or decrease according to
     actual investments or withdrawals. You must contact your financial adviser
     or American Funds Service Company if you have additional information that
     is relevant to the calculation of the value of your holdings.

     When determining your American Funds Class A sales charge, if your
     investment is not in an employer-sponsored retirement plan, you may also
     continue to take into account the market value (as of the day prior to your
     American Funds investment) of your individual holdings in various American
     Legacy variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies that
     were established on or before March 31, 2007. An employer-sponsored
     retirement plan may also continue to take into account the market value of
     its investments in American Legacy Retirement Investment Plans that were
     established on or before March 31, 2007.

     You may not purchase Class C or 529-C shares if such combined holdings
     cause you to be eligible to purchase Class A or 529-A shares at the $1
     million or more sales charge discount rate (i.e. at net asset value).

     If you make a gift of American Funds Class A shares, upon your request, you
     may purchase the shares at the sales charge discount allowed under rights
     of accumulation of all of your American Funds and applicable American
     Legacy accounts.

     RIGHT OF REINVESTMENT -- As described in the prospectus, certain
     transactions may be eligible for investment without a sales charge pursuant
     to the fund's right of reinvestment policy. Recent legislation suspended
     required minimum distributions from individual retirement accounts and
     employer-sponsored retirement plan accounts for the 2009 tax year. Given
     this suspension, proceeds from an automatic withdrawal plan to satisfy a
     required minimum distribution may be invested without a sales charge for
     the 2009 tax year, or any subsequent period, to the extent such legislation
     is extended. This policy is subject to any restrictions regarding the
     investment of proceeds from a required minimum distribution that may be
     established by the transfer agent.

CDSC WAIVERS FOR CLASS A, B AND C SHARES -- As noted in the prospectus, a
contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") may be waived for redemptions due to
death or post-purchase disability of a shareholder (this generally excludes
accounts registered in the names of trusts and other entities). In the case of
joint tenant accounts, if one joint tenant dies, a surviving joint tenant, at
the time he or she notifies the Transfer Agent of the other joint tenant's death
and removes the decedent's name from the account, may redeem shares from the
account without incurring a CDSC. Redemptions made after the Transfer Agent is
notified of the death of a joint tenant will be subject to a CDSC.


In addition, a CDSC may be waived for the following types of transactions, if
together they do not exceed 12% of the value of an "account" (defined below)
annually (the "12% limit"):


     .    Required minimum distributions taken from retirement accounts upon the
          shareholder's attainment of age 70-1/2 (required minimum distributions
          that continue to be taken by the beneficiary(ies) after the account
          owner is deceased also qualify for a waiver).


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 62
<PAGE>


     .    Redemptions through an automatic withdrawal plan ("AWP") (see
          "Automatic withdrawals" under "Shareholder account services and
          privileges" in this statement of additional information). For each AWP
          payment, assets that are not subject to a CDSC, such as appreciation
          on shares and shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends and/or
          capital gain distributions, will be redeemed first and will count
          toward the 12% limit. If there is an insufficient amount of assets not
          subject to a CDSC to cover a particular AWP payment, shares subject to
          the lowest CDSC will be redeemed next until the 12% limit is reached.
          Any dividends and/or capital gain distributions taken in cash by a
          shareholder who receives payments through an AWP will also count
          toward the 12% limit. In the case of an AWP, the 12% limit is
          calculated at the time an automatic redemption is first made, and is
          recalculated at the time each additional automatic redemption is made.
          Shareholders who establish an AWP should be aware that the amount of a
          payment not subject to a CDSC may vary over time depending on
          fluctuations in the value of their accounts. This privilege may be
          revised or terminated at any time.

     For purposes of this paragraph, "account" means:

     .    in the case of Class A shares, your investment in Class A shares of
          all American Funds (investments representing direct purchases of
          American Funds Money Market Fund are excluded);

     .    in the case of Class B shares, your investment in Class B shares of
          the particular fund from which you are making the redemption; and

     .    in the case of Class C shares, your investment in Class C shares of
          the particular fund from which you are making the redemption.

CDSC waivers are allowed only in the cases listed here and in the prospectus.
For example, CDSC waivers will not be allowed on redemptions of Class 529-B and
529-C shares due to termination of CollegeAmerica; a determination by the
Internal Revenue Service that CollegeAmerica does not qualify as a qualified
tuition program under the Code; proposal or enactment of law that eliminates or
limits the tax-favored status of CollegeAmerica; or elimination of the fund by
the Virginia College Savings Plan as an option for additional investment within
CollegeAmerica.

                                 SELLING SHARES

The methods for selling (redeeming) shares are described more fully in the
prospectus. If you wish to sell your shares by contacting American Funds Service
Company directly, any such request must be signed by the registered
shareholders. To contact American Funds Service Company via overnight mail or
courier service, see "Purchase and exchange of shares."


A signature guarantee may be required for certain redemptions. In such an event,
your signature may be guaranteed by a domestic stock exchange or the Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority, bank, savings association or credit union that is
an eligible guarantor institution. The Transfer Agent reserves the right to
require a signature guarantee on any redemptions.


Additional documentation may be required for sales of shares held in corporate,
partnership or fiduciary accounts. You must include with your written request
any shares you wish to sell that are in certificate form.


If you sell Class A, B or C shares and request a specific dollar amount to be
sold, we will sell sufficient shares so that the sale proceeds, after deducting
any applicable CDSC, equals the dollar amount requested.


Redemption proceeds will not be mailed until sufficient time has passed to
provide reasonable assurance that checks or drafts (including certified or
cashier's checks) for shares purchased have cleared (which may take up to 10
business days from the purchase date). Except for delays relating to clearance
of checks for share purchases or in extraordinary circumstances (and as
permissible under the 1940 Act), sale proceeds will be paid on or before the
seventh day following receipt and acceptance of an order. Interest will not
accrue or be paid on amounts that represent uncashed distribution or redemption
checks.


You may request that redemption proceeds of $1,000 or more from American Funds
Money Market Fund be wired to your bank by writing American Funds Service
Company. A signature guarantee is required on all requests to wire funds.

                  SHAREHOLDER ACCOUNT SERVICES AND PRIVILEGES

The following services and privileges are generally available to all
shareholders. However, certain services and privileges described in the
prospectus and this statement of additional information may not be available for
Class 529 shareholders or if your account is held with an investment dealer or
through an employer-sponsored retirement plan.


AUTOMATIC INVESTMENT PLAN -- An automatic investment plan enables you to make
monthly or quarterly investments in the American Funds through automatic debits
from your bank account. To set up a plan, you must fill out an account
application and specify the amount that you would like to invest and the date on
which you would like your investments to occur. The plan will begin within 30
days after your account application is received. Your bank account will be
debited on the day or a few days before your investment is made, depending on
the bank's capabilities. The Transfer Agent will then invest your money into the
fund you specified on or around the date you specified. If the date you
specified falls on a weekend or holiday, your money will be invested on the
following business day. However, if the following business day falls in the next
month, your money will be invested on the business day immediately preceding the
weekend or holiday. If your bank account cannot be debited due to insufficient
funds, a stop-payment or the closing of the account, the plan may be terminated
and the related investment reversed. You may change the amount of the investment
or discontinue the plan at any time by contacting the Transfer Agent.


AUTOMATIC REINVESTMENT -- Dividends and capital gain distributions are
reinvested in additional shares of the same class and fund at net asset value
unless you indicate otherwise on the account application. You also may elect to
have dividends and/or capital gain distributions paid in cash by informing the
fund, the Transfer Agent or your investment dealer. Dividends and capital gain
distributions paid to retirement plan shareholders or shareholders of the 529
share classes will be automatically reinvested.


If you have elected to receive dividends and/or capital gain distributions in
cash, and the postal or other delivery service is unable to deliver checks to
your address of record, or you do not respond to mailings from American Funds
Service Company with regard to uncashed distribution checks, your distribution
option may be automatically converted to having all dividends and other
distributions reinvested in additional shares.


CROSS-REINVESTMENT OF DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS -- For all share classes,
except the 529 classes of shares, you may cross-reinvest dividends and capital
gains (distributions) into other American Funds in the same share class at net
asset value, subject to the following conditions:


(1)  the aggregate value of your account(s) in the fund(s) paying distributions
equals or exceeds $5,000 (this is waived if the value of the account in the fund
receiving the distributions equals or exceeds that fund's minimum initial
investment requirement);

(2)  if the value of the account of the fund receiving distributions is below
the minimum initial investment requirement, distributions must be automatically
reinvested; and

(3)  if you discontinue the cross-reinvestment of distributions, the value of
the account of the fund receiving distributions must equal or exceed the minimum
initial investment requirement. If you do not meet this requirement within 90
days of notification, the fund has the right to automatically redeem the
account.


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 65
<PAGE>


AUTOMATIC EXCHANGES -- For all share classes, you may automatically exchange
shares of the same class in amounts of $50 or more among any of the American
Funds on any day (or preceding business day if the day falls on a nonbusiness
day) of each month you designate.


AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWALS -- Depending on the type of account, for all share classes
except R shares, you may automatically withdraw shares from any of the American
Funds. You can make automatic withdrawals of $50 or more. You can designate the
day of each period for withdrawals and request that checks be sent to you or
someone else. Withdrawals may also be electronically deposited to your bank
account. The Transfer Agent will withdraw your money from the fund you specify
on or around the date you specify. If the date you specified falls on a weekend
or holiday, the redemption will take place on the previous business day.
However, if the previous business day falls in the preceding month, the
redemption will take place on the following business day after the weekend or
holiday. You should consult with your adviser or intermediary to determine if
your account is eligible for automatic withdrawals.


Withdrawal payments are not to be considered as dividends, yield or income.
Generally, automatic investments may not be made into a shareholder account from
which there are automatic withdrawals. Withdrawals of amounts exceeding
reinvested dividends and distributions and increases in share value would reduce
the aggregate value of the shareholder's account. The Transfer Agent arranges
for the redemption by the fund of sufficient shares, deposited by the
shareholder with the Transfer Agent, to provide the withdrawal payment
specified.


Redemption proceeds from an automatic withdrawal plan are not eligible for
reinvestment without a sales charge.


ACCOUNT STATEMENTS -- Your account is opened in accordance with your
registration instructions. Transactions in the account, such as additional
investments, will be reflected on regular confirmation statements from the
Transfer Agent. Dividend and capital gain reinvestments, purchases through
automatic investment plans and certain retirement plans, as well as automatic
exchanges and withdrawals, will be confirmed at least quarterly.


AMERICAN FUNDSLINE AND AMERICANFUNDS.COM -- You may check your share balance,
the price of your shares or your most recent account transaction; redeem shares
(up to $75,000 per American Funds shareholder each day) from nonretirement plan
accounts; or exchange shares around the clock with American FundsLine or using
americanfunds.com. To use American FundsLine, call 800/325-3590 from a
TouchTone(TM) telephone. Redemptions and exchanges through American FundsLine
and americanfunds.com are subject to the conditions noted above and in
"Telephone and Internet purchases, redemptions and exchanges" below. You will
need your fund number (see the list of the American Funds under "General
information -- fund numbers"), personal identification number (generally the
last four digits of your Social Security number or other tax identification
number associated with your account) and account number.


Generally, all shareholders are automatically eligible to use these services.
However, if you are not currently authorized to do so, you may complete an
American FundsLink Authorization Form. Once you establish this privilege, you,
your financial adviser or any person with your account information may use these
services.


TELEPHONE AND INTERNET PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES -- By using the
telephone (including American FundsLine) or the Internet (including
americanfunds.com), or fax purchase, redemption and/or exchange options, you
agree to hold the fund, the Transfer Agent, any of its


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 66
<PAGE>


affiliates or mutual funds managed by such affiliates, and each of their
respective directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents harmless from any
losses, expenses, costs or liabilities (including attorney fees) that may be
incurred in connection with the exercise of these privileges. Generally, all
shareholders are automatically eligible to use these services. However, you may
elect to opt out of these services by writing the Transfer Agent (you may also
reinstate them at any time by writing the Transfer Agent). If the Transfer Agent
does not employ reasonable procedures to confirm that the instructions received
from any person with appropriate account information are genuine, it and/or the
fund may be liable for losses due to unauthorized or fraudulent instructions. In
the event that shareholders are unable to reach the fund by telephone because of
technical difficulties, market conditions or a natural disaster, redemption and
exchange requests may be made in writing only.


CHECKWRITING -- You may establish check writing privileges for Class A shares
(but not Class 529-A shares) of American Funds Money Market Fund upon meeting
the fund's initial purchase minimum of $1,000. This can be done by using an
account application. If you request check writing privileges, you will be
provided with checks that you may use to draw against your account. These checks
may be made payable to anyone you designate and must be signed by the authorized
number of registered shareholders exactly as indicated on your account
application.


REDEMPTION OF SHARES -- The fund's articles of incorporation permit the fund to
direct the Transfer Agent to redeem the shares of any shareholder for their then
current net asset value per share if at such time the shareholder of record owns
shares having an aggregate net asset value of less than the minimum initial
investment amount required of new shareholders as set forth in the fund's
current registration statement under the 1940 Act, and subject to such further
terms and conditions as the board of directors of the fund may from time to time
adopt.


While payment of redemptions normally will be in cash, the fund's articles of
incorporation permit payment of the redemption price wholly or partly with
portfolio securities or other fund assets under conditions and circumstances
determined by the fund's board of directors. For example, redemptions could be
made in this manner if the board determined that making payments wholly in cash
over a particular period would be unfair and/or harmful to other fund
shareholders.


SHARE CERTIFICATES -- Shares are credited to your account and certificates are
not issued unless you request them by contacting the Transfer Agent.
Certificates are not available for the 529 or R share classes.

                              GENERAL INFORMATION

CUSTODIAN OF ASSETS -- Securities and cash owned by the fund, including proceeds
from the sale of shares of the fund and of securities in the fund's portfolio,
are held by JPMorgan Chase Bank, 270 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10017-2070, as
Custodian. If the fund holds securities of issuers outside the U.S., the
Custodian may hold these securities pursuant to subcustodial arrangements in
banks outside the U.S. or branches of U.S. banks outside the U.S.


TRANSFER AGENT -- American Funds Service Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of
the investment adviser, maintains the records of shareholder accounts, processes
purchases and redemptions of the fund's shares, acts as dividend and capital
gain distribution disbursing agent, and performs other related shareholder
service functions. The principal office of American Funds Service Company is
located at 6455 Irvine Center Drive, Irvine, CA 92618. American Funds Service
Company was paid a fee of $31,795,000 for Class A shares and $1,742,000 for
Class B shares for the 2008 fiscal year. American Funds Service Company is also
compensated for certain transfer agency services provided to all share classes
from the administrative services fees paid to Capital Research and Management
Company and from the relevant share class, as described under "Administrative
services agreement."


In the case of certain shareholder accounts, third parties who may be
unaffiliated with the investment adviser provide transfer agency and shareholder
services in place of American Funds Service Company. These services are rendered
under agreements with American Funds Service Company or its affiliates and the
third parties receive compensation according to such agreements. Compensation
for transfer agency and shareholder services, whether paid to American Funds
Service Company or such third parties, is ultimately paid from fund assets and
is reflected in the expenses of the fund as disclosed in the prospectus.


INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM -- Deloitte & Touche LLP, 695 Town
Center Drive, Costa Mesa, California 92626, serves as the fund's independent
registered public accounting firm, providing audit services, preparation of tax
returns and review of certain documents to be filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. The financial statements included in this statement of
additional information from the annual report have been audited by Deloitte &
Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their
report appearing herein. Such financial statements have been so included in
reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in
accounting and auditing. The selection of the fund's independent registered
public accounting firm is reviewed and determined annually by the board of
directors.


INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL -- Bingham McCutchen LLP, 355 South Grand Avenue,
Suite 4400, Los Angeles, CA 90071, serves as independent legal counsel
("counsel") for the fund and for independent directors in their capacities as
such. A determination with respect to the independence of the fund's counsel
will be made at least annually by the independent directors of the fund, as
prescribed by the 1940 Act and related rules.


PROSPECTUSES, REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND PROXY STATEMENTS -- The fund's fiscal
year ends on December 31. Shareholders are provided updated summary prospectuses
annually and at least semi-annually with reports showing the fund's investment
portfolio or summary investment portfolio, financial statements and other
information. Shareholders may request a copy of the fund's current prospectus at
no cost by calling 800/421-0180 or by sending an e-mail request to
prospectus@americanfunds.com. The fund's annual financial statements are audited
by the


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 68
<PAGE>



fund's independent registered public accounting firm, Deloitte & Touche LLP. In
addition, shareholders may also receive proxy statements for the fund. In an
effort to reduce the volume of mail shareholders receive from the fund when a
household owns more than one account, the Transfer Agent has taken steps to
eliminate duplicate mailings of summary prospectuses, shareholder reports and
proxy statements. To receive additional copies of a summary prospectus, report
or proxy statement, shareholders should contact the Transfer Agent.


Shareholders may also elect to receive updated summary prospectuses, annual
reports and semi-annual reports electronically by signing up for electronic
delivery on our website, americanfunds.com. Upon electing the electronic
delivery of updated summary prospectuses and other reports, a shareholder will
no longer automatically receive such documents in paper form by mail. A
shareholder who elects electronic delivery is able to cancel this service at any
time and return to receiving updated summary prospectuses and other reports in
paper form by mail.


Summary prospectuses, prospectuses, annual reports and semi-annual reports that
are mailed to shareholders by the American Funds organization are printed with
ink containing soy and/or vegetable oil on paper containing recycled fibers.


CODES OF ETHICS -- The fund and Capital Research and Management Company and its
affiliated companies, including the fund's Principal Underwriter, have adopted
codes of ethics that allow for personal investments, including securities in
which the fund may invest from time to time. These codes include a ban on
acquisitions of securities pursuant to an initial public offering; restrictions
on acquisitions of private placement securities; preclearance and reporting
requirements; review of duplicate confirmation statements; annual
recertification of compliance with codes of ethics; blackout periods on personal
investing for certain investment personnel; ban on short-term trading profits
for investment personnel; limitations on service as a director of publicly
traded companies; and disclosure of personal securities transactions.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS -- On February 16, 2005, the NASD (now the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, or FINRA) filed an administrative complaint against the
Principal Underwriter. The complaint alleges violations of certain NASD rules by
the Principal Underwriter with respect to the selection of broker-dealer firms
that buy and sell securities for mutual fund investment portfolios. The
complaint seeks sanctions, restitution and disgorgement. On August 30, 2006, a
FINRA Hearing Panel ruled against the Principal Underwriter and imposed a $5
million fine. On April 30, 2008, FINRA's National Adjudicatory Council affirmed
the decision by FINRA's Hearing Panel. The Principal Underwriter has appealed
this decision to the Securities and Exchange Commission.


The investment adviser and Principal Underwriter believe that the likelihood
that this matter could have a material adverse effect on the fund or on the
ability of the investment adviser or Principal Underwriter to perform their
contracts with the fund is remote. In addition, class action lawsuits have been
filed in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California, relating to
this and other matters. The investment adviser believes that these suits are
without merit and will defend itself vigorously.

                                    APPENDIX

The following descriptions of debt security ratings are based on information
provided by Moody's Investors Service and Standard & Poor's Corporation.


                          DESCRIPTION OF BOND RATINGS

MOODY'S
LONG-TERM RATING DEFINITIONS

Aaa
Obligations rated Aaa are judged to be of the highest quality, with minimal
credit risk.


Aa
Obligations rated Aa are judged to be of high quality and are subject to very
low credit risk.


A
Obligations rated A are considered upper-medium grade and are subject to low
credit risk.


Baa
Obligations rated Baa are subject to moderate credit risk. They are considered
medium-grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics.


Ba
Obligations rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements and are subject to
substantial credit risk.


B
Obligations rated B are considered speculative and are subject to high credit
risk.


Caa
Obligations rated Caa are judged to be of poor standing and are subject to very
high credit risk.


Ca
Obligations rated Ca are highly speculative and are likely in, or very near,
default, with some prospect of recovery of principal and interest.


C
Obligations rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and are typically in
default, with little prospect for recovery of principal or interest.


NOTE: Moody's appends numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 to each generic rating
classification from Aa through Caa. The modifier 1 indicates that the obligation
ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2 indicates
a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3 indicates a ranking in the lower end of
that generic rating category.

STANDARD & POOR'S
LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS

AAA
An obligation rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
extremely strong.


AA
An obligation rated AA differs from the highest-rated obligations only in small
degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation is very strong.


A
An obligation rated A is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in
higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is still strong.


BBB
An obligation rated BBB exhibits adequate protection parameters. However,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to
a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.


BB, B, CCC, CC, AND C
Obligations rated BB, B, CCC, CC, and C are regarded as having significant
speculative characteristics. BB indicates the least degree of speculation and C
the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective
characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major
exposures to adverse conditions.


BB
An obligation rated BB is less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative
issues. However, it faces major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's
inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.


B
An obligation rated B is more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated
BB, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment
on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will
likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.


CCC
An obligation rated CCC is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent
upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have
the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.


CC
An obligation rated CC is currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.


                      The Bond Fund of America -- Page 76
<PAGE>


C
A C rating is assigned to obligations that are currently highly vulnerable to
nonpayment, obligations that have payment arrearages allowed by the terms of the
documents, or obligations of an issuer that is the subject of a bankruptcy
petition or similar action which have not experienced a payment default. Among
others, the C rating may be assigned to subordinated debt, preferred stock or
other obligations on which cash payments have been suspended in accordance with
the instrument's terms.


D
An obligation rated D is in payment default. The D rating category is used when
payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable
grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's believes that such
payments will be made during such grace period. The D rating also will be used
upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if
payments on an obligation are jeopardized.


PLUS (+) OR MINUS (-)

The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus or minus
sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

Organization and significant accounting policies

Organization – The Bond Fund of America, Inc. (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The fund seeks as high a level of current income as is consistent with preservation of capital through a diversified portfolio of bonds and other fixed-income obligations.

The fund offers 15 share classes consisting of five retail share classes, five 529 college savings plan share classes and five retirement plan share classes. The 529 college savings plan share classes (529-A, 529-B, 529-C, 529-E and 529-F-1) can be used to save for college education. The five retirement plan share classes (R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5) are generally offered only through eligible employer-sponsored retirement plans. The fund’s share classes are described below:

Share class
Initial sales charge
Contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption
Conversion feature
Classes A and 529-A
Up to 3.75%
None (except 1% for certain redemptions within one year of purchase without an initial sales charge)
None
Classes B and 529-B
None
Declines from 5% to 0% for redemptions within six years of purchase
Classes B and 529-B convert to Classes A and 529-A, respectively, after eight years
Class C
None
1% for redemptions within one year of purchase
Class C converts to Class F-1 after 10 years
Class 529-C
None
1% for redemptions within one year of purchase
None
Class 529-E
None
None
None
Classes F-1, F-2 and 529-F-1

Classes R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4 and R-5
None

None
 

On August 1, 2008, the fund made an additional retail share class (Class F-2) available for sale pursuant to an amendment to its registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In addition, Class F shares were renamed Class F-1 and Class 529-F shares were renamed Class 529-F-1. Refer to the fund’s prospectus for more details.

Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses ("class-specific fees and expenses"), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution, administrative and shareholder services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies – The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the fund:

Security valuation – Equity securities are valued at the official closing price of, or the last reported sale price on, the exchange or market on which such securities are traded, as of the close of business on the day the securities are being valued or, lacking any sales, at the last available bid price. Prices for each security are taken from the principal exchange or market in which the security trades. Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Securities with both fixed-income and equity characteristics, or equity securities traded principally among fixed-income dealers, are valued in the manner described above for either equity or fixed-income securities, depending on which method is deemed most appropriate by the investment adviser. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. Forward currency contracts are valued at the mean of representative quoted bid and asked prices.

Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable by the investment adviser are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the fund's board of directors. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions.

Security transactions and related investment income – Security transactions are recorded by the fund as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the fund will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations – Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) are allocated daily among the various share classes based on the relative value of their settled shares. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, administrative and shareholder services, are charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders – Dividends paid to shareholders are declared daily from net investment income and are paid to shareholders monthly. Distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Currency translation – Assets and liabilities, including investment securities, denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates on the dates of such transactions. On the accompanying financial statements, the effects of changes in exchange rates on investment securities are included with the net realized gain or loss and net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The realized gain or loss and unrealized appreciation or depreciation resulting from all other transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are disclosed separately.

Forward currency contracts – The fund may enter into forward currency contracts, which represent agreements to exchange currencies on specific future dates at predetermined rates. The fund enters into these contracts to manage its exposure to changes in exchange rates arising from investments denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Upon entering into these contracts, risks may arise from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from possible movements in exchange rates. Due to these risks, the fund could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net unrealized value shown on the accompanying financial statements. On a daily basis, the fund values forward currency contracts based on the applicable exchange rates and records unrealized gains or losses. The fund records realized gains or losses at the time the forward contract is closed or offset by another contract with the same broker for the same settlement date and currency. Closed forward currency contracts that have not reached their expiration date are included in the respective receivables for sales or payables for purchases of investment securities in the statement of assets and liabilities.

Loan transactions – The fund may enter into loan transactions in which the fund acquires a loan either through an agent, by assignment from another holder, or as a participation interest in another holder's portion of a loan. The loan is often administered by a financial institution that acts as agent for the holders of the loan, and the fund may be required to receive approval from the agent and/or borrower prior to the sale of the investment. The loan's interest rate and maturity date may change based on the terms of the loan, including potential early payments of principal. Risks may arise due to the delayed settlement date of the loan transaction and the ability of the agent and/or borrower to meet the obligations of the loan.

2.  
Risk factors

Investing in the fund may involve certain risks including, but not limited to, those described below.

The values of, and the income generated by, most debt securities held by the fund may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the effective maturities and credit ratings of these securities. For example, the values of debt securities in the fund's portfolio generally will decline when interest rates rise and increase when interest rates fall. In addition, falling interest rates may cause an issuer to redeem, "call" or refinance a security before its stated maturity, which may result in the fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities. Debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that the credit strength of an issuer will weaken and/or an issuer of a debt security will fail to make timely payments of principal or interest and the security will go into default. Lower quality or longer maturity debt securities generally have higher rates of interest and may be subject to greater price fluctuations than higher quality or shorter maturity debt securities. The fund's investment adviser attempts to reduce these risks through diversification of the portfolio and ongoing credit analysis, as well as by monitoring economic and legislative developments, but there can be no assurance that it will be successful at doing so.

Many types of debt securities, including mortgage-related securities, are subject to prepayment risk. For example, when interest rates fall, homeowners are more likely to refinance their home mortgages and "prepay" their principal earlier than expected. The fund must then reinvest the prepaid principal in new securities when interest rates on new mortgage investments are falling, thus reducing the fund’s income.

A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the U.S. government is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. Accordingly, the current market prices for these securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates.

The fund may also invest in debt securities and mortgage-backed securities issued by federal agencies and instrumentalities that are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities are neither issued nor guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. Although all securities in the fund's portfolio may be adversely affected by currency fluctuations or global economic, political or social instability, securities issued by entities based outside the United States may be affected to a greater extent.

3. Taxation and distributions                                                                                     

Federal income taxation – The fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net taxable income and net capital gains each year. The fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent such distributions are made. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

As of and during the period ended December 31, 2008, 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.

The fund is not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2005, by state tax authorities for tax years before 2004 and by tax authorities outside the U.S. for tax years before 2004.

Non-U.S. taxation – Dividend and interest income is recorded net of non-U.S. taxes paid. Realized and unrealized gains on securities in certain countries are subject to non-U.S. taxes. The fund records a liability based on realized and unrealized gains to provide for potential non-U.S. taxes payable on these securities. For the year ended December 31, 2008, non-U.S. taxes paid on realized gains were $32,000. As of December 31, 2008, there was no liability for non-U.S. taxes based on unrealized gains.


Distributions – Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as currency gains and losses; short-term capital gains and losses; capital losses related to sales of certain securities within 30 days of purchase; unrealized appreciation of certain investments in securities outside the U.S.; cost of investments sold; paydowns on fixed-income securities; net capital losses; and income on certain investments. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes.

During the year ended December 31, 2008, the fund reclassified $65,801,000 from accumulated net realized loss to distributions in excess of net investment income and $96,000 from distributions in excess of net investment income to capital paid in on shares of capital stock to align financial reporting with tax reporting.

As of December 31, 2008, the tax basis components of distributable earnings, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities were as follows:

      (dollars in thousands)

4. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company ("CRMC"), the fund’s investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company® ("AFS"), the fund’s transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors,® Inc. ("AFD"), the principal underwriter of the fund’s shares.

Investment advisory services - The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on a declining series of annual rates beginning with 0.30% on the first $60 million of daily net assets and decreasing to 0.11% on such assets in excess of $36 billion. The agreement also provides for monthly fees, accrued daily, based on a declining series of rates beginning with 2.25% on the first $8,333,333 of the fund's monthly gross income and decreasing to 1.75% on such income in excess of $41,666,667. CRMC waived a portion of its investment advisory services fee from September 1, 2004, through December 31, 2008. During the year ended December 31, 2008, total investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $9,004,000. As a result, the fee shown on the accompanying financial statements of $90,043,000, which was equivalent to an annualized rate of 0.252%, was reduced to $81,039,000, or 0.227% of average daily net assets.

Class-specific fees and expenses – Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are described below:

Distribution services – The fund has adopted plans of distribution for all share classes, except Classes F-2 and R-5. Under the plans, the board of directors approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plans provide for payments, based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% as noted below. In some cases, the board of directors has limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes except Classes F-2 and R-5 may use up to 0.25% of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD to provide certain shareholder services. The remaining amounts available to be paid under each plan are paid to dealers to compensate them for their sales activities.

For Classes A and 529-A, the board of directors has also approved the reimbursement of dealer and wholesaler commissions paid by AFD for certain shares sold without a sales charge. These classes reimburse AFD for amounts billed within the prior 15 months but only to the extent that the overall annual expense limit of 0.25% is not exceeded. As of December 31, 2008, unreimbursed expenses subject to reimbursement totaled $4,453,000 for Class A. There were no unreimbursed expenses subject to reimbursement for Class 529-A.

Transfer agent services The fund has a transfer agent agreement with AFS for Classes A and B. Under this agreement, these share classes compensate AFS for transfer agent services including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing. AFS is also compensated for certain transfer agent services provided to all other share classes from the administrative services fees paid to CRMC described below.

Administrative services – The fund has an administrative services agreement with CRMC to provide transfer agent and other related shareholder services for all share classes other than Classes A and B. Each relevant share class pays CRMC annual fees up to 0.15% (0.10% for Class R-5) based on its respective average daily net assets. Each relevant share class also pays AFS additional amounts for certain transfer agent services. CRMC and AFS may use these fees to compensate third parties for performing these services. Each 529 share class is subject to an additional administrative services fee payable to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the maintenance of the 529 college savings plan. The quarterly fee is based on a declining series of annual rates beginning with 0.10% on the first $30 billion of the net assets invested in Class 529 shares of the American Funds and decreasing to 0.06% on such assets between $120 billion and $150 billion. The fee for any given calendar quarter is accrued and calculated on the basis of the average net assets of Class 529 shares of the American Funds for the last month of the prior calendar quarter. Although these amounts are included with administrative services fees on the accompanying financial statements, the Commonwealth of Virginia is not considered a related party.

Directors’ deferred compensation – Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1993, directors who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the fund or other American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Directors’ compensation of $116,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $292,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net decrease of $176,000 in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and directors – Officers and certain directors of the fund are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or directors received any compensation directly from the fund.

 5. Disclosure of fair value measurements
 
The fund adopted the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”), Fair Value Measurements, on January 1, 2008. FAS 157 requires the fund to classify its assets and liabilities into three levels based on the method used to value the assets or liabilities. Level 1 values are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 values are based on significant observable market inputs, such as quoted prices for similar securities and quoted prices in inactive markets. Level 3 values are based on significant unobservable inputs that reflect the fund’s determination of assumptions that market participants might reasonably use in valuing the securities. The valuation levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with the underlying investment. For example, U.S. government securities are generally high quality and liquid; however, they are reflected as Level 2 because the inputs used to determine fair value may not always be quoted prices in an active market. The following table presents the fund’s valuation levels as of December 31, 2008 (dollars in thousands):

   
Investment securities
   
Forward currency contracts
 
Level 1 – Quoted prices
  $ 105,352        
Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs
    31,277,667     $ (37,844 ) (*)
Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs
    523,921          
  Total
  $ 31,906,940          

(*) Net unrealized depreciation on forward currency contracts is not included in the summary investment portfolio.
 

The following table reconciles the valuation of the fund’s Level 3 investment securities and related transactions during the year ended December 31, 2008 (dollars in thousands):

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of The Bond Fund of America, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the summary investment portfolio, of The Bond Fund of America, Inc. (the “Fund”), as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Bond Fund of America, Inc. as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
