 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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. Organizational costs 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 operations.
 
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 generally valued on the exchange designated by Mitchell Hutchins
Asset Management Inc. ("Mitchell Hutchins"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
PaineWebber Incorporated and investment adviser of the Fund 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 generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty
days or less remaining to maturity. 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 Fund's Board of Directors. All
investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued weekly in U.S. dollars
on the basis of foreign currency exchange rates prevailing at the time such
valuation is determined by the Fund's custodian.
 
Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined prior to the close of
the New York Stock Exchange ("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 will not be reflected in
the computation of the Fund's net asset value. If events occured materially
affecting the value of such securities or assets or currency exchange rates
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.
 
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
 
                                       7
<PAGE>
 
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.
 
Investment Transactions and Investment Income - Investment transactions are
recorded on trade date. Realized gains and losses from 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 end 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 U.S. federal income tax regulations;
such amount is categorized as foreign exchange gain or loss for both financial
reporting and income tax purposes. 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
 
                                       8
<PAGE>
 
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.
 
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 for book purposes
as an unrealized gain or loss by the Fund. Realized gains and losses include
net gains and losses recognized by the Fund on contracts which have matured.
 
Dividends and Distributions--Dividends and distributions to shareholders are
recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and
distributions from realized capital gains are determined in accordance with
federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These "book/tax" differences are either considered
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
reclassifications. 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.
 
Federal Taxes--The Fund intends to distribute substantially 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.
 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK
 
Investing in securities of foreign issuers and currency transactions may
involve certain considerations and risks not typically associated with
investments in the United States. These risks include revaluation of
currencies, adverse fluctuations in foreign currency values and possible
adverse political, social and economic developments, including those particular
to a specific industry, country or region, which could cause the securities and
their markets to be less liquid and prices more volatile than those of
comparable U.S. companies and U.S. government
 
                                       9
<PAGE>
 
securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers
located in emerging market countries in which the Fund is authorized to invest.
The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their
obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a
specific industry, country or region.
INVESTMENT ADVISER AND ADMINISTRATOR
 
The Fund has an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract ("Advisory
Contract") with Mitchell Hutchins. In accordance with the Advisory Contract,
the Fund pays Mitchell Hutchins an investment advisory and administration fee,
which is accrued weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.00% of the
Fund's average weekly net assets. Prior to August 15, 1995, BEA Associates
served as the Fund's Latin American debt adviser pursuant to a sub-advisory
contract with Mitchell Hutchins. Mitchell Hutchins (not the Fund) paid BEA
Associates a fee, computed weekly and paid monthly, in an amount equal to 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 November 30,
1995, was substantially the same as the cost of securities for financial
statement purposes.
 
At November 30, 1995, the components of net unrealized appreciation of
investments were as follows:
 
<TABLE>

 value over cost).................................................. $10,166,615
Gross depreciation (from investments having an excess of

                                                                    -----------
Net unrealized appreciation of investments......................... $ 1,476,871

</TABLE>
 
For the year ended November 30, 1995, aggregate purchases and sales of
portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $323,137,238 and
$273,519,445, 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 November 30, 1995, Mitchell Hutchins owned
7,128 shares.
 
                                       10

FEDERAL TAX STATUS
 
At November 30, 1995, the Fund had a capital loss carryforward of $10,143,147
which will expire by November 30, 2003. To the extent that such losses are
used, as provided in the regulations, to offset future net realized capital
gains, it is probable that the gains will not be distributed.
 
To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent "book/tax" differences for
the year ended November 30, 1995, accumulated net realized gain/loss was
increased by $64,563; undistributed net investment income was decreased by
$183,118; and capital stock was increased by $118,555.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
 
  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the portfolio of investments, of Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc.
(the "Fund") as of November 30, 1995, and the related statement of operations
for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the
two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the
periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.
 
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial
highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned at
November 30, 1995, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
 
  In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. at November 30, 1995 and the results of its
operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of
the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of
the indicated periods, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

TAX INFORMATION
 
We are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, to advise you within 60 days of the Fund's fiscal year end (November
30, 1995) as to the federal tax status of distributions received by
shareholders during such fiscal year. Accordingly, we are advising you that all
dividends paid during the fiscal year by the Fund were derived from net
investment income and are taxable as ordinary income.
 
Dividends received by tax-exempt recipients (e.g., IRAs and Keoghs) need not be
reported as taxable income. Some retirement trusts (e.g., corporate, Keogh and
403(b)(7) plans) may need this information for their annual information
reporting.
 
Since the Fund's fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification
will be sent in respect of calendar 1995. The second notification, which will
reflect the amount to be used by calendar year taxpayers on their federal
income tax returns, will be made in conjunction with Form 1099 DIV and will be
mailed in January 1996. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
advisers with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

 STRATEGIC GLOBAL INCOME FUND, INC.
            GENERAL INFORMATION
 
            THE FUND
 
            Strategic Global Income Fund, Inc. (the "Fund") is a non-
            diversified, closed-end management investment company whose shares
            trade on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. ("NYSE"). The Fund's
            primary investment objective is to achieve a high level of current
            income; capital appreciation is a secondary objective in the
            selection of investments. The Fund's investment adviser and
            administrator is Mitchell Hutchins Asset Management Inc., a wholly
            owned subsidiary of PaineWebber Incorporated, which has over $44
            billion in assets under management as of December 31, 1995.
 
            MANAGEMENT OF THE FUND
 
            Stuart Waugh, a managing director and portfolio manager of
            Mitchell Hutchins responsible for global fixed income and currency
            trading, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the
            Fund's portfolio. He is also a vice president of the Fund and of
            other investment companies for which Mitchell Hutchins serves as
            investment adviser. Mr. Waugh has been employed by Mitchell
            Hutchins as a portfolio manager for the last eight years. He is a
            portfolio manager of Global High Income Dollar Fund Inc.,
            PaineWebber Global Income Fund, PaineWebber Series Trust--Global
            Income Portfolio and Strategic Income Fund Inc. with aggregate
            assets as of November 30, 1995 of approximately $2 billion. Other
            members of the Mitchell Hutchins' global investing group provide
            input on market outlook, interest rate forecasts, investment
            research and other considerations pertaining to the Fund's

            DISTRIBUTION POLICY
 
            The Fund has established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan under which
            all shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names,
            or in the name of PaineWebber or its nominee, will have all
            dividends and other distributions on their shares automatically
            reinvested in additional shares, unless such shareholders elect to
            receive cash. Shareholders who elect to hold their shares in the
            name of another broker or nominee should contract such broker or
            nominee to determine whether, or how, they may participate in the
            Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Additional shares acquired under the
            Dividend Reinvestment Plan will be purchased in the open market,
            on the NYSE or otherwise, at prices that may be higher or lower
            than the net asset value per share at the time of the purchase.
            The Fund will not issue any new shares in connection with its
            Dividend Reinvestment 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.
