ZENIX INCOME FUND INC.
June 30, 1995
DEAR
SHAREHOLDER: We are pleased to provide the first quarter report and
portfolio of investments for the Zenix Income Fund
Inc. for the period ended June 30, 1995. Over the past
three months the Fund paid dividends totaling $0.186
per share. The table below shows annualized
distribution rates based on the Fund's June 30, 1995
net asset value per share and its New York Stock
Exchange closing price.
ANNUALIZED DISTRIBUTION RATE
$6.03 (NAV) 12.33%
$6.50 (NYSE) 11.44%
Effective June 1, 1995, the Fund reduced its monthly dividend
rate from $0.063 to $0.060 per share, reflecting its more
defensive portfolio structure of higher cash reserves and
stronger credit quality than in the prior three month period. We
believe that in what appears to be a deteriorating economic
environment, a more conservative portfolio strategy is warranted
until economic conditions stabilize later this year.
The Fund generated a positive total return of 5.93% for the
past three months and 14.03% for the past six months. The Fund's
three month performance compares favorably to the 6.01% average
total return for all closed-end high yield funds as reported by
Lipper Analytical Services, a major mutual fund performance
tracking organization. The Fund's three month performance was
clearly enhanced not only by the continued decline in interest
rates in the second quarter of 1995, but also its leveraged
structure. The Fund's six month performance, which was well
above the closed-end high yield mutual fund average of 12.14%,
was positively impacted by a combination of factors with the
major one being the significant decline in interest rates so far
in 1995. Most significantly, Zenix's leveraged structure, in
addition to being supportive of an above-average dividend yield,
amplified the advance in the Fund's net asset value over the
past six months.

MARKET AND ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Economic growth continued to erode in the second quarter of
1995 with the slowdown in consumption expenditures intensifying.
The retail sector of the economy appeared even softer, with
little pricing power on the part of most retail chains. Even the
automobile industry, which was very strong in 1994, has
encountered weaker sales trends in 1995. As mentioned in our
last quarterly report to shareholders, individuals financed a
large portion of their purchases with debt throughout 1994. As a
result, individuals' debt levels are back to high levels. This
is probably acting as a drag on consumption expenditures and
could continue to hamper consumption trends for the rest of 1995
as consumer debt levels are brought down to more manageable
percentages. The industrial side of the economy which has
benefited from strong overseas demand also appears to be
moderating based upon recent economic statistics on industrial
production. In response to the weak first half economic results,
the Federal Reserve modestly reduced short-term interest rates
in early July, signaling their intention to prevent the economy
from falling into a recession. In summary, while we would not
expect a recession given the Federal Reserve's change in
monetary policy, we believe an economic slowdown will present
more of a challenge to corporate profitability, especially in
those sectors of the economy that depend on the consumer.
NEW CREDIT FACILITY
On May 18, 1995, Zenix Income Fund obtained a new $30 million
credit facility from PNC Bank, N.A., effectively replacing the
$25.8 million money market notes which matured on May 18th. The
new revolving line will provide the Zenix Income Fund with much
greater borrowing flexibility to take advantage of changing
market conditions without costing the Fund significantly greater
interest expense as well as reduce the uncertainty inherent in a
monthly auction. We believe the Zenix Income Fund will be much
better served by this more flexible borrowing arrangement.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY
Given the pervasive slowdown in economic momentum which
appeared to intensify in the second quarter of 1995, we have
moved to a more cautious posture by raising cash reserves and
upgrading overall credit quality in the portfolio. Beginning in
the month of May, the high yield market, especially the middle
tier B/B rated issues, began to significantly lag the rally in
the Treasury market. We have shifted our industry orientation
away from the more vulnerable sectors of the economy and have
increased our exposure to the traditionally more defensive
sectors including telecommunications, cable TV and media, to
name a few. As we stated earlier, the reduction in the Fund's
dividend is a result of this more defensive portfolio posture.
Any additional easing of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve
would probably go a long way towards restoring investor
confidence in the high yield market. We would expect to be
reinvesting our small cash reserves back into the market over
the next three months as investment opportunities develop.
We appreciate your past support and look forward to continue
to provide attractive investment results over the second half of
1995. Should you have any questions about your investment in the
Fund, please call The Shareholder Services Group, Inc. at (800)
331-1710.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Zenix Income Fund Inc. (the "Fund") is a diversified closed-end management
investment company organized as a Maryland corporation and is registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended. The Fund commenced operations on April 27, 1988. The policies
described below are followed consistently by the Fund in the preparation of its
financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
PORTFOLIO VALUATION: The net asset value of the Fund's Common Stock is
determined by The Boston Company Advisors, Inc. ("Boston Advisors") no less
frequently than the close of business on the Fund's last business day of each
week (generally Friday). It is determined by dividing the value of the net
assets available to Common Stock by the total number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding. For the purpose of determining the net asset value per
share of the Common Stock, the value of the Fund's net assets shall be deemed
to equal the value of the Fund's assets less (i) the Fund's liabilities
(including the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest on the PNC
Bank credit facility), (ii) the aggregate liquidation value (i.e., $1,000 per
outstanding share) of the 7.000% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock
("7.000% Cumulative Preferred Stock"), and (iii) the aggregate and unpaid
dividends on the outstanding Cumulative Preferred Stock issue. Portfolio
securities that are actively traded in the over-the-counter market, including
listed securities for which the primary market is believed to be
over-the-counter, are valued at the mean between the most recently quoted bid
and asked prices provided by the principal market makers. Any security for
which the primary market is an exchange is valued at the last sale price on
such exchange on the day of valuation or, if there was no sale on such day,
at the last bid price quoted on such day. Securities and assets for which
market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as
determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors
of the Fund, including reference to valuations of other securities which are
considered comparable in quality,

interest rate and maturity. Short-term investments which mature in less than
60 days are valued at amortized cost, unless this method is determined by the
Board of Directors not to represent fair value.
PAYMENT-IN-KIND BONDS: The Fund may invest in payment-in-kind ("PIK")
bonds. PIK bonds pay interest in cash or through the issuance of additional
bonds. PIK bonds are recorded at fair value on the ex-dividend date. PIK
bonds carry a risk in that unlike bonds which pay interest throughout the
period to maturity, the Fund will realize no cash until the cash payment
dates unless a portion of such securities is sold. If the issuer of a PIK
bond defaults, the Fund may obtain no return at all on its investment. Income
is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.
