USLIFE INCOME FUND, INC.
2929 Allen Parkway
Houston, TX 77019

DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDER:

USLIFE Income Fund reported net investment income of $4,234,940 or 75 cents per
share for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 versus $4,141,554 or 73 cents per
share for the prior fiscal year. Net assets of the fund were $60,670,225 or
$10.75 per share at fiscal year end, versus $57,417,327 or $10.17 per share on
June 30, 1997. Cash dividends totaling 76 cents per share were paid to
shareholders during the 1998 fiscal year.

Your fund's return of 13.57% for the year ended June 30, 1998 assuming
reinvestment of dividends, compared favorably with its relevant environment. The
Merrill Lynch Corporate Government Index returned 11.32% while the Merrill Lynch
High Yield Bond Index returned 11.40%.

The fund had 50.7% of its assets in investment grade issues and 49.3% of its
assets in below investment grade issues on June 30, 1998. The fund continues its
policy of achieving maximum yield consistent with preservation of capital.

Your board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of 19 cents per share on
July 21, 1998, payable on September 1, 1998 to shareholders of record on August
21, 1998. We encourage those shareholders not already participating in USLIFE
Income Fund's Automatic Dividend Investment Plan, described on page 12, to
enroll in the Plan.

The outlook for the current fiscal year is positive for bond investors. Real
gross domestic product is expected to slow from the 5.4% pace in the first
quarter to 2.0% in the second half of the calender year. With continued
moderation in the first half of 1999 the forecast is growth of 2.5%. Inflation
appears to be well contained with forecasts of 1.1% in the first half of 1998.
Interest rates, as measured by the 30 year U.S. Treasury bond, could drop below
5.5%

I will retire from The Variable Annuity Life Insurance Company on August 17,
1998 and will resign as your president on that date. I will be succeeded by Mr.
Peter V. Tuters, V.P. - Portfolio Management and Investment Officer of VALIC.
Mr. Tuters is also Executive Vice President of American General Investment
Management, L.P. He has been with American General since 1992, prior to which he
was with Crown Life Insurance Company, Toronto, Ontario. American General
Investment Management has responsibility for more than $62 billion in fixed
income investments.

Sincerely,

/s/ NORMAN JASKOL

President

YEAR 2000 RISKS

VALIC is in the process of modifying its systems to achieve Year 2000 readiness.
This endeavor is directed and managed by VALIC and monitored by the parent
company, American General Corporation. VALIC has developed clearly defined and
documented plans that have been implemented to minimize the risk of significant
negative impact on Fund operation.

These plans include the following activities: (1) perform an inventory of the
Fund's information technology and non-information technology systems; (2) assess
which items in the inventory may expose the company to business interruptions
due to Year 2000 issues; (3) test systems for Year 2000 readiness; (4) reprogram
or replace systems that are not Year 2000 ready; and (5) return the systems to
operation. The Fund expects to complete the forgoing activities for all critical
business systems by December 1998.

In addition, the Fund has business relationships with various third parties,
each of which must also be Year 2000 ready. Therefore, VALIC's plans also
include assessing and attempting to mitigate the risks associated with the
potential failure of third parties to achieve Year 2000 readiness. Due to the
various stages of the third parties' Year 2000 readiness, VALIC's efforts in
this regard will extend through 1999.

Through June 30, 1998 VALIC has incurred and expensed $13 million (pretax)
related to Year 2000 readiness, including $6.5 million incurred during the first
six months of 1998. VALIC currently anticipates that it will incur future costs
of $3 million (pretax) for additional internal staff, third party vendors, and
other expenses to achieve Year 2000 readiness.

Due to the magnitude and complexity of this project, risks and uncertainties
exist. If conversion of VALIC's systems is not completed on a timely basis (due
to non-performance by significant third-party vendors or other unforeseen
circumstances), or if significant third parties fail to achieve Year 2000
readiness on a timely basis, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse
impact on the operations of the Fund.

presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). GAAP requires accruals which
occasionally are based upon management estimates. The following is a summary of
significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the
preparation of its financial statements.

A.   INVESTMENT VALUATION

     Listed securities are valued at the last reported sale price on the
     principal exchange on which the security is traded. In the absence of any
     sales that day, securities are valued at the last reported bid price, or
     based on a matrix system which utilizes information (such as credit
     ratings, yields and maturities) from independent sources. Short term debt
     securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued at
     the last reported bid price. However, short term securities with a
     remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued by the amortized cost
     method which approximates fair market value. Investments for which market
     quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined
     in good faith by, or under authority delegated by, the Fund's Board of
     Directors.

B.   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
     Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute all of its
     taxable net investment income and taxable net realized capital gains, in
     excess of any available capital loss carryovers. Therefore no federal
     income tax provision is required. At June 30, 1998, the Fund had a net
     capital loss carry forward of approximately $1.1 million, expiring on June
     30, 2002.

C.   INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME

     Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains
     and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income,
     if any, is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Coupon interest income on
     investments is accrued daily. Market premiums on securities are not being
     amortized and discounts are not being accrued, except for original issue
     discounts which are being accrued for tax purposes.

D.   DISTRIBUTION TO SHAREHOLDERS

     Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the record date. The Fund
     declares dividends from net investment income quarterly. Capital gains
     distributions in excess of any existing capital loss carry forwards, are
     declared annually.

     Investment income and capital gains and losses are recognized in accordance
     with generally accepted


                                                                             --
                                                                              9

     accounting principles ("book"). Distributions from net investment income
     and realized capital gains are based on earnings as determined in
     accordance with Federal tax regulations ("tax") which may differ from book
     basis earnings. At the end of the year, offsetting adjustments to
     undistributed net investment income and undistributed net realized gains
     (losses) are made to eliminate permanent book/tax differences arising in
     the current year. On June 30, 1998, additional paid in capital was
     decreased by $740,158, accumulated net realized loss on securities
     increased by $169,100 and undistributed net investment income increased by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

AUTOMATIC DIVIDEND INVESTMENT PLAN

Shareholders may elect to enroll in the Fund's Automatic Dividend Investment
Plan ("Plan"). All distributions of the Fund's net investment income and net
realized short-term and long-term capital gains, if any, will automatically be
received or invested in shares of the Fund's common stock at their net asset
value or market price plus the cost of brokerage commissions, whichever is
lower. Shares will be held by The Chase Manhattan Bank, the Plan agent, in an
account for each participant in non-certificated form. Participation in the Plan
will not relieve participants of any capital gains or income tax payable on
dividends or distributions reinvested under the Plan. Participation in the Plan
can be terminated at any time up to the next dividend record date by writing to
The Chase Manhattan Bank. Upon termination, stock certificates for full shares
will be issued to the participant or, at the participant's direction, sold at
the current market price. Any fractional shares at the time of termination will
be converted to cash at the current market price. A check for the proceeds, less
brokerage commissions and any other costs of sale, will be sent to the
participant. For additional information on the Plan, please write ChaseMellon
Shareholder Services, L.L.C., 450 West 33rd Street, New York, NY 10001 or call
1-800-526-0801.
