Chairman's Letter
=======
To Our Shareholders:
During the first quarter of 1995, the U.S. Treasury market posted its highest
positive quarterly return since the third quarter of 1992, 4.66%. The first
quarter ended with yields hovering near a six-month low. Yields on 2-year
Treasuries declined by 91 basis points, from 7.69% to 6.78%, while yields on
30-year Treasuries dropped by 45 basis points to 7.43%. The CS First Boston
Income Fund earned a net total return of 5.71% during the first quarter based
upon net asset value and reinvestment of dividends. As a result of the greater
drop in short-term yields, the yield curve steepened by 193 basis points during
the year, as measured by the differential between 2-year and 30-year
maturities.
  This rally is attributable in part to the investment of the cash accumulated
in late 1993 and investors seeking an alternative to emerging markets. In
addition, recent economic and inflation data and comments by Federal Reserve
Chairman Greenspan have caused many participants to conclude that the cycle of
rising short- and long-term rates may be completed.
  Recent reports indicated that sales of new homes fell a larger-than expected
14.0% in February to the lowest level in three years. Home construction is
losing steam, sales of existing homes have fallen for two consecutive months
and auto manufacturers are cutting back production targets for 1995 amid weaker
sales. In addition, a decline in durable goods orders and weak retail sales
figures in February were viewed as signals of a moderating pace of economic
acceleration. Leading indicators pointed to continued economic strength.
Payroll employment gains of 318,000 in February were stronger than expected and
the unemployment rate fell to 5.4%. Business confidence in the U.S. economy
rose in March as companies made plans to hire more workers. Consumer confidence
rose unexpectedly as more Americans planned to buy houses and cars amid lower
mortgage rates and steady employment.
  Inflation data paints a similarly two-tone picture. Inflation at the finished
goods level has remained relatively subdued. The consumer and producer price
indices each rose 0.3% in February. However, indications of underlying price
pressures have become more widespread. Intermediate goods producer prices rose
9.6% for the three months ending in January. Capacity utilization rose to a
fifteen and a half year high of 85.7%. While a high level of plant usage
indicates economic strength, it also means that production costs may rise.
Finally the increase in the hourly earnings component of the employment data
reveals the early stages of wage inflation.
  For the first quarter 1995, the U.S. high yield market saw strong positive
performance driven by gains in gaming, cable and telecommunications. The
Salomon Brothers High Yield Market Index posted a 5.91% return for the quarter
following 1994's negative performance. The high yield market outperformed all
other fixed income indices according to Salomon Brothers.
  We are basing our investment strategy on the assumption that the recent
decline in short-term yields will be reversed. Forward looking measures such as
employment, factory utilization and consumer confidence remain very high.
Fourth quarter real GDP grew at 4.6% and final sales were up by 5.3%. These
factors combined with a weak U.S. dollar make it unlikely that inflation can
remain low in this environment. We believe the Fed is likely to respond by
further lifting the Fed funds target. The current level of interest rates does
not adequately reflect further Fed intervention, consequently, we are keeping
portfolio durations moderately short relative to their respective targets.
  Sectorwise, we will continue to focus on high yield investments. It is our
intent to maintain a relatively high allocation to the high yield market in
anticipation of improving fundamental and technical conditions. We expect the
high yield market to track 

                                       1

the directional movements of the debt and equity
markets, albeit with less volatility for the market as a whole near-term than
it has experienced in the past year. However, we do expect the market to
continue to be volatile on an individual credit basis as earnings releases are
made. On the technical side, the high yield market has benefited from $2.6
billion that has flowed into high yield mutual funds during the first quarter
of 1995 versus only $14.0 million that flowed into these funds in the first
quarter of 1994. Other participants in the marketplace, pension funds,
insurance companies and former emerging markets players, are also adding demand
to a market that currently does not have a great deal of supply. We continue to
find value in new issues and selected secondary issues. Holdings continue to be
diversified.
  Finally, as recently announced, the Fund's adviser CS First Boston Investment
Management Corporation has agreed to transfer its business to its affiliate BEA
Associates ("BEA"). Accordingly, the Fund will be sending proxy material to its
stockholders asking them to approve, among other things, a new advisory
agreement with BEA and a name change of the fund to BEA Income Fund at your
upcoming shareholder meeting. A further result of this change is the addition
of BEA representatives to the Fund's Board of Directors and senior management.
Going forward it is proposed that Daniel Sigg and Robert Moore will be the
Fund's senior executives with Mr. Sigg joining the Board, and Joseph Huber will
resign.
