 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS             (UNAUDITED)
ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") was incorporated in Maryland on
November 15, 1991 as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment
company. Prior to commencing its operations on February 3, 1992, the Fund had
no operations other than the sale to Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc.
("Mitchell Hutchins"), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of PaineWebber
Incorporated ("PaineWebber") and investment adviser, administrator and
distributor of the Funds, of 7,128 shares of common stock for $100,006. Costs
incurred in connection with the organization of approximately $155,000 have
been deferred and are being amortized using the straight-line method over a
period not to exceed 60 months from the date the Fund commenced investment
operations. Offering costs estimated at $635,000 were charged to capital upon
receipt of the proceeds from the public offering of the Fund's shares.
 
Valuation of Investments - Securities which are listed on U.S. and foreign
stock exchanges are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are
being valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid
price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the
securities are valued on the exchange designated by Mitchell Hutchins as the
primary market. Securities traded in the over-the-counter ("OTC") market and
listed on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last trade price on NASDAQ prior to the
time of valuation; other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price
available in the OTC market prior to the time of valuation. The amortized cost
method of valuation, which approximates market, is used to value short-term
debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity unless the
Fund's board of directors determines this does not represent fair value.
Securities and assets for which market quotations are not readily available
(including restricted securities subject to limitations as to their sale) are
valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of
the Fund's board of directors. All investments quoted in foreign currencies
will be valued weekly in U.S. dollars on the basis of the foreign currency
exchange rates prevailing at the time such valuation is determined by the
Fund's custodian.
 
The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Fund to meet
their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments,
including those particular to a specific industry, country or region.
 
Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close of
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE"). Occasionally, events affecting the
value of foreign investments and such exchange rates occur between the time at
which they are determined and the close of the NYSE, which would not be
reflected in the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If events
materially affecting the
 
                                       7

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED)
value of such securities or currency exchange rates occurred during such time
period, the securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good
faith by or under the direction of the Fund's board of directors.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income - Investment transactions are
recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments
and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost
method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted
as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.
 
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on
the following basis:
 
  (1) market value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities -
   at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
 
  (2) purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses - at
  the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
  transactions.
 
Although the net assets and the market values of the Fund's portfolio are
presented at the foreign exchange rates at the close of the period, the Fund
does not generally isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates
from the effect of the changes in market prices of securities. However, the
Fund does isolate the effect of fluctuations in foreign exchange rates when
determining the gain or loss upon the sale or maturity of foreign currency
denominated debt obligations pursuant to federal income tax regulations.
Foreign security and currency transactions may involve certain considerations
and risks not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and U.S.
government securities. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future
adverse political and economic developments, which could cause securities and
their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of
comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government securities.
 
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts - The Fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts ("forward contracts") in connection with planned purchases
or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio
securities denominated in a particular currency.
 
The Fund has no specific limitation on the percentage of assets which may be
committed to such contracts. The Fund may enter into forward contracts or
maintain a net exposure to forward contracts only if (1) the consummation of
the contracts would not obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign
currency in excess of the value of the position being hedged by such contracts
or (2) the Fund maintains cash, U.S. government securities or liquid, high-
grade debt securities in a segregated account in an amount not less than the
value of its total assets committed to the consummation of the forward
contracts and not covered as provided in (1) above, as marked to market daily.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(CONTINUED)
 
Risks may arise upon entering into forward contracts from the potential
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their forward contracts and
from unanticipated movements in the value of foreign currencies relative to the
U.S. dollar.
 
Fluctuations in the value of forward contracts are recorded as unrealized gains
or losses by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include net gains and losses
recognized by the Fund on contracts which have matured.
 
Repurchase Agreements - The Fund's custodian takes possession of the collateral
pledged for investments in repurchase agreements. The underlying collateral is
valued daily on a mark-to-market basis to ensure that the value, including
accrued interest, is at least equal to the repurchase price. In the event of
default of the obligation to repurchase, the Fund has the right to liquidate
the collateral and apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation. Under
certain circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party
to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject
to legal proceedings. The Fund occasionally participates in joint repurchase
agreement transactions with other funds managed by Mitchell Hutchins.
 
Reverse Repurchase Agreements - The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase
agreements with banks and broker-dealers up to an aggregate value of not more
than 33.3% of its total assets. At May 31, 1995, the Fund had no reverse
repurchase agreements outstanding.
 
Federal Tax Status - The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income
and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for
federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each
calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, capital gains and
certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal
excise tax.
 
DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
 
Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend
date. The amount of dividends and distributions are determined in accordance
with federal income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are considered either
temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent
in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on
their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require
reclassification. Dividends and distributions which exceed net investment
income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes but not
for tax purposes are reported as dividends in excess of net investment income
or distributions in excess of net realized capital gains. To the extent they
exceed net investment income and net realized capital gains for tax purposes,
they are reported as distributions of paid-in capital.

The Fund's board of directors has approved an investment advisory and
administration contract ("Advisory Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins, under
which Mitchell Hutchins serves as investment adviser and administrator of the
Fund. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, Mitchell Hutchins receives
compensation from the Fund, computed weekly and paid monthly, at an annual rate
of 1.00% of the Fund's average weekly net assets. At May 31, 1995, the Fund
owed Mitchell Hutchins $236,162 in investment advisory and administration fees.
 
Under a separate contract with Mitchell Hutchins, BEA Associates serves as the
Fund's Latin American debt adviser ("BEA Associates Contract"). Under the BEA
Associates Contract, Mitchell Hutchins (not the Fund) pays BEA Associates a
fee, computed weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 0.25% of the
Fund's average weekly net assets.
 
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES
 
For federal income tax purposes, the cost of securities owned at May 31, 1995,
was substantially the same as the cost of securities for financial statement
purposes.
 
At May 31, 1995, the components of net unrealized depreciation of investments
were as follows:
 
Gross depreciation (investments having an excess of
 cost over value)................................................ $(19,595,803)
Gross appreciation (investments having an excess of
 value over cost)................................................    8,535,606
                                                                  ------------
Net unrealized depreciation of investments....................... $(11,060,197)
                                                                  ============
 
For the six months ended May 31, 1995, total aggregate purchases and sales of
portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $116,922,764 and
$122,133,650, respectively.
 
CAPITAL STOCK
 
There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value capital stock authorized. Of
the 21,407,128 shares outstanding at May 31, 1995, Mitchell Hutchins owned
7,128 shares.
 
SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
On June 16, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Fund announced that it had
voted to terminate BEA Associates as the Fund's Latin American Debt Adviser, to
be effective in 60 days. Mitchell Hutchins will assume full responsibility for
managing the Fund's investments in Latin American debt securities.

            DISTRIBUTION POLICY
 
            Under current policies of the Fund's board of directors,
            shareholders may affirmatively elect to receive all dividends and
            other distributions in cash paid by check mailed directly to the
            shareholders by PNC Bank, National Association ("Transfer Agent"),
            as dividend disbursing agent. Under the Fund's Dividend
            Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), shareholders not making such
            election and whose shares are registered in their own names will
            receive all such distributions in additional Fund shares.
            Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a broker or
            nominee should contact such broker or nominee to determine
            whether, or how, they may participate in the Plan.
 
            The Transfer Agent will serve as agent for the shareholders in
            administering the Plan. After the Fund declares a dividend or
            determines to make a capital gain distribution, the Transfer Agent
            will, as agent for the participants, receive the cash payment and
            use it to buy Fund shares in the open market, on the NYSE or
            elsewhere, for the participants' accounts. The Fund will not issue
            any new shares in connection with the Plan.
