BEA INCOME FUND, INC.
 
- ----------
Dear Shareholders:                                              November 8, 1996
 
We  are pleased to report  on the activities of the  BEA Income Fund, Inc. ("the
Fund") for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
    At September 30, 1996, the Fund's net asset value (NAV) was $8.63,  compared
to an NAV of $8.51 at June 30, 1996. As a result, the Fund's total return (based
on NAV and assuming reinvestment of dividends of $0.18 per share) for the period
was 3.60%. At September 30, 1996, $139.0 million was invested in high-yield debt
securities;  $61.3 million was invested in investment-grade debt securities; and
the balance of  the Fund's  investments, $6.9  million, was  invested in  equity
securities.  The investment-grade component consisted of short and intermediate-
term mortgages,  asset-backed securities  and  corporate bonds  of  intermediate
maturity.  Of the  debt securities,  the largest  concentration (43.91%)  was in
B-rated issues.
    In late October, the  Fund completed its first  rights offering to  existing
shareholders.  The original amount  of shares was  increased by 25%  in order to
satisfy over-subscription  requests. As  a  result, approximately  10.2  million
shares were issued at a price of $7.15 generating net proceeds of $69.4 million.
 
THE MARKET
 
    Through  September, high yield  remained the top  performer among major U.S.
fixed income categories in 1996. As measured by the Salomon Brothers High  Yield
Market Index, high yield rose 7.11%, much higher than government bonds (-0.16%),
corporate  bonds (-0.14%)  and mortgages  (2.41%). High  yield also outperformed
bonds globally, which gained  1.21%. [All returns  cited from the  corresponding
Salomon Brothers index.]
    Individuals  have been pouring cash into high-yield mutual funds at a record
pace in 1996.  September witnessed  the highest  monthly net  inflows on  record
($2.3  billion), eclipsing  the previous high  in November  1992 ($1.6 billion).
Year to  date  through September,  high-yield  fund net  inflows  totaled  $11.3
billion  (versus  $7.9  billion  for  the same  period  in  1995),  thus already
exceeding the previous annual record of $9.6 billion set in 1986.
    As reflected by  the level of  new issuance, institutions  are also  finding
high yield very attractive. New issuance for 1996 thus far totaled $54.8 billion
at  the  end of  September,  nearly double  last  year's $29.9  billion  for the
same period. The  average market-weighted  new-issue offer yield  was 11.11%  at
month-end, versus 10.93% for 1995 as a whole.
 
HIGH-YIELD SECURITIES
 
    Currently, the high-yield market is being propelled forward by an auspicious
combination  of technical and  fundamental factors. For  example, interest rates
are both stable and  relatively low, each of  which is beneficial to  high-yield
performance.  A stable economy suggests that issuer defaults should remain below
historical averages, while low rates  help to attract income-oriented  investors
looking for more yield than is available from investment-grade instruments.
    Our  strategy  continues  to  be  focused  on  opportunistic  investment  in
companies  that  we   believe  offer  operating   performance  improvement   and
deleveraging  potential over the longer term. We also favor companies whose core
operations should  perform  relatively  well  regardless of  the  state  of  the
economy,  as well as those which may  be desirable candidates for future mergers
and acquisitions activity. We assign overweighted allocations to industries that
we believe have a  good operating outlook and  could benefit from  consolidation
trends.
    This   approach  is  particularly   reflected  by  several   of  our  sector
concentrations:
 
    TELECOMMUNICATIONS.    This  industry  should  benefit  from  the   landmark
telecommunications   legislation   enacted   in   early   1996.   The   wireless
communications segment is poised for tremendous growth over the near term as the
Information Highway takes shape. Therefore, we believe that this segment,  which
is  in the early phase of its growth cycle, will be able to grow even through an
economic downturn.
    Going  forward,  we  expect  the  broad  telecom  industry  to  continue  to
consolidate,  a trend from which high-yield issuers should benefit. Accordingly,
telecom is among  our largest  industry exposures.  Its 12.7%  weighting in  the
Portfolio  (as of September 30) is about 1.5 times its 6.6% concurrent weighting
in the Salomon Brothers High Yield Market Index.
 
    GAMING.  We are attracted to this  sector for much the same reasons that  we
like telecom. It is growing and consolidating and is relatively less affected by
the macroeconomic environment. Although we believe that Atlantic City may become
overbuilt  over  the next  few years,  the  sector's long-term  prospects remain
bright.
 
                                       2
<PAGE>
    CABLE AND  MEDIA.    As  with  telecom,  we  expect  cable/  media's  recent
consolidation  trend to continue. Cable TV companies need to become larger, with
more contiguous  systems, in  order both  to offer  local phone  service in  the
future and to compete against the regional Bell operating companies.
 
MORTGAGE AND ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES
 
    Three  factors most benefited mortgage-backed  securities ("MBS") during the
third quarter:  relatively stable  interest  rates, modest  new supply  and  the
strength (i.e., lower yields) of the investment-grade corporate bond market.
    Rate stability is good for MBS because it generally lowers volatility in the
government  and corporate sectors,  thus allowing for  greater MBS liquidity. In
this climate,  intermediate-term  instruments such  as  collateralized  mortgage
obligations  ("CMOs") have done well. We are maintaining the Fund's existing CMO
positions because their yields  to effective maturity are  about 20 to 40  basis
points higher than those of comparable investment-grade corporates.
    The  Fund also owns  asset-backed securities ("ABS"),  which are instruments
whose  credit  quality  and  income  stream  are  backed  by  various  types  of
consumer-related   receivables  (most   notably  from  credit   cards  and  auto
financings). Like MBS, ABS yields are typically higher than those of  comparable
investment-grade  corporates.  ABS have  performed  well during  the  past year,
particularly since many  pension funds  and other  institutional investors  have
dropped  their historical restrictions against ABS investment. As a result, many
institutions have  begun  to  buy  ABS  in  place  of  corporates  within  their
investment-grade allocations.
 
OUTLOOK
 
    Our  outlook  for  the  high-yield  debt  market  remains  positive.  We are
maintaining our strategic focus on the  generation of a strong income stream  as
well as pragmatic investment in companies that, over the longer term, we believe
offer improving operating performance and deleveraging potential. We continue to
find  good  opportunities among  the increasingly  large universe  of high-yield
issues and issuers. As always, we are carefully monitoring market conditions  so
as to preserve the Fund's capital.
    In  closing, we would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to
shareholders for  exhibiting  their  confidence  in the  Fund  by  their  strong
response to the rights offering.
    We  appreciate your interest in the Fund  and would be pleased to respond to
your  questions  or   comments.  Any  questions   regarding  net  asset   value,
performance,  dividends, portfolio management or  allocations should be directed
to BEA  Associates at  (800)  293-1232. All  other inquiries  regarding  account
information  or requests for a prospectus or other reports should be directed to
