Annual Report

Global High Income Fund Inc.

December 14, 2007

Dear shareholder,
We are pleased to present you with the annual report for Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) for the 12 months ended October 31, 2007.

Performance
Over the 12 months ended October 31, 2007, the Fund returned 12.40% on a net asset value basis and declined 2.33% on a market price basis. Over the same period, the median returns for the Fund’s peer group, the Lipper Emerging Markets Debt Funds, were 9.84% and 6.51% on a net asset value and market price basis, respectively. Finally, the Fund’s benchmark, the J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global (the “Index”) returned 8.07% over the annual period. (For more performance information, please refer to “Performance at a glance” on page 6.)

The Fund did not use leverage during the reporting period. That is, the Fund did not have preferred stock outstanding or borrow from banks for investment purposes as some of its peers may have done. Leverage magnifies returns on both the upside and on the downside, and creates a wider range of returns within the Fund’s peer group.

The Fund traded at a premium to its net asset value (“NAV”) per share during most of the reporting period. However, in July 2007, as the markets grew more turbulent, the Fund began trading at a discount to its NAV. We believe that this reversal—which was seen in a majority of fixed income closed-end fund categories—was partly due to that fact that investors sold off shares to move into what they perceived to be safer investments. The difference in the Fund’s market price and net asset value performance relative to its Lipper peer group medians can be explained in part by looking at where the Fund stood relative to its peers at the beginning and ending of the reporting period. At the beginning, the Fund was trading at a sizable premium, while by the end of the reporting period,

the market price of its shares was lower than the Fund’s NAV per share, like many of its peers.

A fund trades at a premium when the market price at which its shares trade is more than its NAV. Alternately, a fund trades at a discount when the market price at which its shares trade is less than its NAV. The market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of a fund at a given time, and may be influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund’s securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding.
   
An interview with Portfolio Manager Uwe Schillhorn
Q.   How did emerging markets debt perform over the reporting period?
A.   The emerging markets debt asset class performed well during the first eight months of the reporting period. Historically, a large difference in yield—often referred to as the “spread” —has existed between emerging markets debt yields and the yields of lower-risk US Treasury obligations. However, during that eight-month period, emerging markets debt prices rose relative to those of similar maturity US Treasuries, making spreads tighter. Based on certain measures, spreads tightened from 190 basis points to an all-time low of near 150 basis points during the first eight months of the reporting period for emerging markets debt overall. (A basis point is 1/100th of 1%.)
     
    Volatility increased in June 2007, however, as concern over the US subprime mortgage market spilled over into global capital markets. This contributed to a fall in emerging market debt prices. Coupled with a rally in US Treasuries on a related flight to quality, this led emerging market debt spreads to increase by nearly 100 basis points, reaching 250 basis points over the next two months.
     
    In the final two months of the reporting period, some of the concern over the credit markets subsided after major central banks added liquidity to the marketplace. Subsequently, emerging markets debt spreads moved back toward 200 basis points, only 50 basis points from their all-time lows.
     
    Despite this, at the end of the reporting period, significant uncertainty still existed in the financial markets about the impact of subprime mortgage-related losses on the balance sheet of banks and other financial institutions. This led to a renewed widening of emerging markets debt spreads.

Global High Income Fund Inc.

    However, emerging markets debt spreads have widened less than the spreads of their similarly-rated high yield bond counterparts (which are issued by entities in more developed economies). In light of increased volatility and market uncertainty, we believe that emerging markets debt performed relatively well throughout the reporting period as a whole.
     
Q.   Which investment areas did you emphasize over the reporting period?
A.   As in the past, we conducted extensive research and employed a wide variety of strategies as we sought to generate a high level of current income and capital appreciation for the Fund. In particular, we sought to meet the Fund’s goals by strategically allocating its portfolio among various countries, securities and currencies. We attempted to keep the Fund from being overly dependent upon any one area to generate positive returns. This is an integral part of our risk management process—an important factor, particularly given the risks associated with investing in emerging markets debt.
     
    During the reporting period, we emphasized investments in Argentina. These included both US dollar and Argentine peso-denominated bonds. Argentine debt yields were attractive for much of the reporting period, generating returns that helped the Fund’s performance overall. However, as volatility rose in June, positions in higher-risk credits like those of Argentina suffered the most. As a result, the Fund’s exposure to Argentine debt detracted from results in July, August, and September of 2007.
     
    At times throughout the period, we emphasized local currency investments in a number of countries, including Brazil, the Dominican Republic, Turkey, Malaysia and Egypt. We did this in order to take advantage of relatively high local yields, and to gain from the appreciation of what we viewed to be undervalued currencies. While volatility also impacted these positions, they generally contributed positively to the Fund’s performance over the reporting period as a whole.
     
    We also de-emphasized investments in selected countries, including the US dollar-denominated debt of countries such as Mexico and Brazil. The bonds of these countries tend to outperform during periods of increased uncertainty and volatility. However, our analysis showed that they were trading richly—that is, the additional yield that they offered, compared to US Treasuries of a similar duration, was not significant considering the additional risk they entailed. They also offered less upside potential, as their spreads had tightened significantly. In response, we underweighted this area versus the Fund’s benchmark, emphasizing other investments that we believed had more attractive return potential.

Global High Income Fund Inc.

    However, our underweight to both Mexico and Brazil detracted from the Fund’s relative performance when volatility increased later in the fiscal year and those markets posted strong returns.
     
Q.   How did you manage the Fund’s duration during the reporting period?
A.   Duration measures a Fund’s sensitivity to interest rate changes, and is related to the maturity of the bonds comprising the portfolio. For most of the reporting period, we kept the Fund’s duration shorter in relation to the benchmark.
     
    Overall, US bond yields declined during the reporting period, with yields at the short end of the US Treasury yield curve declining more than their longer-term counterparts. (The yield curve depicts the differences in bond yields that are due solely to differences in maturity.) While our short-duration positioning both hurt and helped performance at times, overall, it had a slightly negative impact on performance during the reporting period.
     
Q.   What is your outlook for the emerging markets debt asset class?
A.   We believe that fundamentals in many emerging markets countries remain healthy, in part because many emerging markets economies are commodity exporters. As commodity prices generally rose throughout the reporting period, the overall balance sheets of the emerging markets were improving and, in many cases, strong. In addition, many emerging markets countries have ample cash reserves. These factors strengthen the asset class from a fundamental perspective—which is an important reason why emerging markets debt has performed relatively well despite the increased volatility in the credit markets.
     
    We believe that it is likely that fundamentals will remain strong, and that the asset class will likely be well-supported going forward. In our view, while the external environment may deteriorate due to the potential slowdown in the US economy, as well as in other major economies, emerging markets countries should be able to weather these problems better than in the past.
     
    This is not to say that the outlook in emerging markets countries is positive across the board. Some countries have failed to make progress with regard to their external, fiscal and debt profiles, despite improvement in global economic conditions in recent years. As a result, while we believe that emerging markets debt should perform well overall, we also are alert to the possibility that problems could arise in certain countries.

Past performance does not predict future performance. The return and value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) returns assume, for illustration only, that dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at the NAV on the payable dates. The Fund’s market price returns assume that all dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested at prices obtained under the Fund’s Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund dividends and other distributions, if any, or the sale of Fund shares.

Organization and significant accounting policies
Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on February 23, 1993 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a closed-end, non-diversified management investment company. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to achieve a high level of current income. As a secondary objective the Fund seeks capital appreciation, to the extent consistent with its primary objective.

In the normal course of business the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnification for certain liabilities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles requires Fund management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:

Valuation of investments—The Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available, for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources may use reported last sale prices, current market quotations or valuations from computerized “matrix” systems that derive values based on comparable securities. A matrix system incorporates parameters such as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available, in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price on the valuation date available prior to valuation. Securities which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are 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 as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”), the

Notes to financial statements

investment advisor of the Fund. If a market value is not available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Fund’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued weekly in US dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates. Foreign currency exchange rates are generally determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (”NYSE”). Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign investments 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 materially affecting the value of such securities occur during such time periods, the securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value, generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining to maturity, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FAS 157”). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of October 31, 2007, the Fund does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the Statement of operations for a fiscal period.

Investment transactions and investment income—Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from investment and foreign exchange transactions are calculated using the identified cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified cost of investments.

Foreign currency translation—The Fund uses the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.


24

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements

For purposes of calculating the US dollar equivalent value of a non-US dollar denominated obligation, foreign currency amounts are translated into US dollars on the following basis: (1) market value of investment securities and other assets and liabilities—at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the Fund’s fiscal period; and (2) purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expenses—at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the market value of the Fund’s portfolio are presented at the foreign exchange rates at the end of the Fund’s fiscal 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 securities pursuant to US federal income tax regulations. Certain foreign exchange gains and losses included in realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in or are a reduction of ordinary income in accordance with US federal income tax regulations.

Forward foreign currency contracts—The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the US dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Fund may also use forward contracts to enhance income.

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 identifies cash or liquid securities in an amount not less than the value of its 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 US dollar.


25

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements

Fluctuations in the value of forward contracts are recorded for book purposes 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 been sold or matured.

Futures contracts—The Fund may use financial futures contracts for hedging purposes and to adjust exposure to US and foreign fixed income markets in connection with a reallocation of the Fund’s assets or to manage the average duration of the Fund. However, imperfect correlations between futures contracts and the related securities or markets, or market disruptions, do not normally permit full control of these risks at all times. Using financial futures contracts involves various market risks. The maximum amount at risk from the purchase of a futures contract is the contract value.

Upon entering into a financial futures contract, the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or liquid securities equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the “initial margin”. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such variation margin is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as an unrealized gain or loss on futures until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures.

The Statement of operations reflects net realized and net unrealized gains and losses on these contracts.

Swap agreements—The Fund may engage in swap agreements, including but not limited to interest rate, currency and credit default swap agreements. The Fund expects to enter into these transactions to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of the portfolio’s duration, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, or to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible.

The Fund may enter into interest rate swap agreements with another party to receive or pay interest (e.g., an exchange of fixed rate payments for floating rate payments) to protect itself from interest rate fluctuations. This type of swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by


26

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements

reference to a specified interest rate(s) for a specified amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other.

Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to make or receive payments in the event of a default or a credit event of a referenced security. As a buyer, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty, and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event does occur, the Fund typically would receive full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. As a seller, the Fund would receive periodic payments from the counterparty, and the Fund would make payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will gain the periodic stream of payments it received over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay or receive interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

The use of swaps involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with ordinary portfolio security transactions. If UBS Global AM is incorrect in its forecast of market values, interest rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of the Fund will be less favorable than it would have been if this investment technique was never used. Swaps do not involve the delivery of securities and are subject to counterparty risk. If the other party to a swap defaults and fails to consummate the transaction, the Fund’s risk of loss will consist of the net amount of interest or other payments that the Fund is contractually entitled to receive. Therefore, the Fund would consider the creditworthiness of the counterparty to a swap agreement in evaluating potential credit risk.


27

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Notes to financial statements

The Fund accrues for interim payments on swap agreements on a daily basis, with the net amount recorded within unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap agreements on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Once interim payments are settled in cash, the net amount is recorded as realized gain/loss on swap agreements, in addition to realized gain/loss recorded upon the termination of swap agreements on the Statement of operations. Fluctuations in the value of swap agreements are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap agreements.

At October 31, 2007, the Fund had outstanding credit default swap contracts with the following terms:

Notes to financial statements

Purchased options—The Fund may purchase put and call options on foreign or US securities and indices as well as exchange-listed call options on particular market segment indices to achieve temporary exposure to a specific industry or geographic region. Purchasing call options tends to increase exposure to the underlying instrument. Purchasing put options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument. The Fund pays a premium which is included in the Statement of assets and liabilities as an investment and subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current value of the option. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. The risk associated with purchasing put and call options is limited to the premium paid. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying futures, security or currency transaction to determine the realized gain or loss.

Dividends and distributions—Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains and/or return of capital is determined in accordance with US federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US 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 reclassification.

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 US companies and US government securities. These risks are greater with respect to securities of issuers located in emerging market countries in which the Fund invests. The ability of the issuers of debt securities held by the Fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments particular to a specific industry, country, state or region.

Investment advisor and administrator and other transactions with related entities
The Fund’s Board has approved an investment advisory and administration contract (“Advisory Contract”) with UBS Global AM. In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund pays UBS Global AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued weekly and paid monthly, at the annual rate of 1.25% of the Fund’s average weekly net assets. UBS Global AM has agreed to waive compensation otherwise payable to it to reduce the fee it receives under the Advisory Contract so that it is paid at the following rates:

Average weekly net assets Advisory fee

Up to $200 million   1.25 %

Above $200 million   1.00 %

The waiver will continue indefinitely unless the Board agrees to any change. At October 31, 2007, the Fund owed UBS Global AM $318,233, which is composed of $345,138 of investment advisory and administration fees less fees waived of $26,905. For the year ended October 31, 2007, UBS Global AM waived $311,658 of investment advisory and administration fees from the Fund.

Additional information regarding compensation to affiliate of a board member
Effective March 1, 2005, Professor Meyer Feldberg accepted the position of senior advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in him becoming an interested director of the Fund. The Fund has been informed that Professor Feldberg’s role at Morgan Stanley does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Fund transactions are executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firm’s ability to provide best execution of the transactions. During the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities) in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $20,499,567. Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may have been in the form of a “mark-up” or “mark-down” of the price of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program, or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation is not generally known by UBS Global AM, UBS Global AM believes that under normal circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.

Securities lending
The Fund may lend securities up to 331/3% of its total assets to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or US government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The Fund will regain ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Fund may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in, the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or US government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower plus reasonable administrative and custody fees. UBS Financial Services Inc. and other affiliated broker-dealers have been approved as borrowers under the Fund’s securities lending program. UBS Securities LLC is the lending agent. For the year ended October 31, 2007, UBS Securities LLC earned $265 in compensation as the Fund’s lending agent. At October 31, 2007, the Fund did not have any securities on loan and the Fund did not owe UBS Securities LLC compensation as the Fund’s lending agent.

Rights offering
During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Fund issued 2,152,169 shares in connection with a rights offering of the Fund’s common stock. Shareholders of record on November 10, 2005, were issued one non-transferable right for each share of common stock owned, entitling shareholders the opportunity to acquire one newly issued share of common stock for every three rights held. The rights offering commenced on November 10, 2005 and expired on December 20, 2005. The subscription price per share was the greater of (i) the net asset value (“NAV”) per share on December 20, 2005 (the “expiration date”) or (ii)95% of the volume weighted average share price on the New York Stock Exchange on the expiration date and four preceding business days. The subscription price of the offer was $14.58. Offering costs attributed to the rights offering in the amount of $389,000 were charged against additional paid-in-capital.

Capital stock
There are 100,000,000 shares of $0.001 par value common stock authorized and 21,591,836 shares outstanding at October 31, 2007. For the year ended October 31, 2007 and for the year ended October 31, 2006,

the Fund did not repurchase any shares of common stock. Transactions in shares of common stock were as follows:

For the year ended October 31, 2006:   Shares   Amount

Shares issued through rights offering   2,152,169   $30,997,694

Purchases and sales of securities
For the year ended October 31, 2007, aggregate purchases and sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities, were $279,920,890 and $305,646,516, respectively.

Federal tax status
It is the Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts, if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required.

The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006 were as follows:

Distributions paid from:     2007     2006  

Ordinary income     $17,710,302     $31,175,740  

Net long-term capital gains     11,479,701     20,811,985  

      $29,190,003     $51,987,725  

               
At October 31, 2007, the components of accumulated earnings on a tax basis were as follows:              
               
Undistributed ordinary income           $10,310,416  

Undistributed long-term capital gains           10,050,339  

Accumulated capital and other losses           (2,919,852 )

Net unrealized appreciation           12,706,079  

Total accumulated earnings           $30,146,982

Notes to financial statements

For federal income tax purposes, the tax cost of investments and the components of net unrealized appreciation of investments at October 31, 2007 were as follows:

Tax cost of investments   $281,425,006  

Gross unrealized appreciation   18,927,586  

Gross unrealized depreciation   (4,855,883 )

Net unrealized appreciation   $14,071,703  

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation of investments is attributable to premium amortization adjustments, wash sales and options marked to market.

To reflect reclassifications arising from permanent “book/tax” differences for the year ended October 31, 2007, the Fund’s accumulated undistributed net investment income was increased by $1,450,401, accumulated net realized gain from investment activities was decreased by $1,450,405, and capital stock was increased by $4. These differences are primarily due to tax treatment of foreign currency transactions, paydown gains and losses and adjustments for certain debt obligations.

On July 13, 2006, FASB released FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as an expense in the current year. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. Based on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s announcement on December 22, 2006, the implementation of FIN 48 must be incorporated into accounting practice no later than the last business day of the Fund’s April 30, 2008 semiannual report. Management continues to evaluate the application of FIN 48 to the Fund, and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Report of Ernst &Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Global High Income Fund Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”), including the portfolio of investments, as of October 31, 2007, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. 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 the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2007, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. 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 Global High Income Fund Inc. at October 31, 2007, 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 five years in the period then ended, in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

Tax information (unaudited)

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 reporting. Since the Fund’s fiscal year is not the calendar year, another notification will be sent in respect of calendar year 2007. 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 2008. Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences of their investment in the Fund.

The foreign taxes paid represent taxes incurred by the Fund on income received by the Fund from foreign sources. Foreign taxes paid may be included in taxable income with an offsetting deduction from gross income or may be taken as a credit for taxes paid to foreign governments. You should consult your tax advisor regarding the appropriate treatment of foreign taxes paid.

Clarification to asset segregation policy

Cover for strategies using derivative instruments—Transactions using derivative instruments, other than purchased options, expose the Fund to an obligation to another party. The Fund will not enter into any such transactions unless it owns either (1) an offsetting (“covered”) position in securities, currencies or other options, forward currency contracts or futures contracts or (2) cash or liquid securities, with a value sufficient at all times to cover its potential obligations to the extent not covered as provided in (1) above. The Fund will comply with SEC guidelines regarding cover for such transactions and will, if the guidelines so require, set aside cash or liquid securities, marked to market daily, in a segregated account with its custodian in the prescribed amount.

With respect to futures contracts, the Fund will cover its obligations under the futures transactions in which it participates by either (i) holding offsetting positions that appropriately equal the daily market value of the Fund’s position in the futures contract (less the initial margin and any variation margins deposited with a futures commission merchant); or (ii) accruing such amounts on a daily basis and maintaining segregated assets to cover the futures contract. With respect to a futures contract that is not contractually required to “cash-settle,” the Fund must cover its open position by maintaining segregated assets equal to the contract’s full, notional value. However, the Fund may net non-cash settled futures contracts if the futures have the same expiration date and underlying instruments. With respect to a futures contract that is contractually required to “cash-settle,” the Fund is permitted to maintain segregated assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s daily marked-to-market (net) obligation (i.e., the Fund’s daily net liability if any) rather than the notional value. By setting aside assets equal to only its net obligation under cash-settled future contracts, the Fund will have the ability to employ leverage to a greater extent than if the Fund were required to segregate assets equal to the full notional value of such contracts.

The Fund will only enter into forward contracts to sell, for a fixed amount of US dollars or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency, to the extent that the value of the short forward contract is covered by the underlying value of securities denominated in the currency being sold. Alternatively, when the Fund enters into a non-cash settled forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency, the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian will place segregated assets in a segregated account of the Fund in an


38

Global High Income Fund Inc.

General information (unaudited)

amount equal to the contracts’ full, notional value. However, currency contracts with respect to identical currencies may be netted against each other and, in such cases, the Fund’s custodian or sub-custodian will place segregated assets in a segregated account of the Fund in an amount equal to the net amount owed (the unrealized loss) by the Fund.

When the Fund enters into a non-deliverable forward transaction, the Fund’s custodian will maintain segregated assets in an amount not less than the value of the Fund’s unrealized loss under such non-deliverable forward transaction. If the additional segregated assets decline in value or the amount of the Fund’s commitment increases because of changes in currency rates, additional cash or securities will be designated as segregated assets on a daily basis so that the value of the account will equal the amount of the Fund’s unrealized loss under the non-deliverable forward agreement.

Assets used as cover or held in a segregated account cannot be sold while the position in the corresponding derivatives instrument is open, unless they are replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of the Fund’s assets to cover positions or segregated accounts could impede portfolio management or the Fund’s ability to meet current obligations.

Dividend reinvestment plan
The Fund’s Board has established a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the “Plan”) under which all shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names, or in the name of UBS Financial Services Inc. or its nominee, will have all dividends and other distributions on their shares of common stock 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 contact such broker or nominee to determine whether, or how, they may participate in the Plan. The ability of such shareholders to participate in the Plan may change if their shares are transferred into the name of another broker or nominee.

A shareholder may elect not to participate in the Plan or may terminate participation in the Plan at any time without penalty, and shareholders who have previously terminated participation in the Plan may rejoin it at any time. Changes in elections must be made in writing to the Fund’s transfer agent and should include the shareholder’s name and address as they appear on that share certificate or in the transfer agent’s records. An election to terminate participation in the Plan, until such election is


39

Global High Income Fund Inc.

General information (unaudited)

changed, will be deemed an election by a shareholder to take all subsequent distributions in cash. An election will be effective only for distributions declared and having a record date at least ten days after the date on which the election is received.

Additional shares of common stock acquired under the 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. Investors should consider whether continued participation in the dividend reinvestment plan is appropriate for them when the Fund’s market price exceeds its net asset value; a portion of a dividend/distribution may represent a return of capital, which would be reinvested in the Fund at a premium to net asset value. The number of shares of common stock purchased with each dividend/distribution will be equal to the result obtained by dividing the amount of the dividend/distribution payable to a particular shareholder by the average price per share (including applicable brokerage commissions) that the transfer agent was able to obtain in the open market. The Fund will not issue any new shares in connection with the Plan. There currently is no charge to participants for reinvesting dividends or other distributions. The transfer agent’s fees for handling the reinvestment of distributions are paid by the Fund. However, each participant pays a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the transfer agent’s open market purchases of common stock in connection with the reinvestment of distributions. The automatic reinvestment of dividends and other distributions in shares of common stock does not relieve participants of any income tax that may be payable on such distributions.

Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan with respect to any dividend or other distribution if notice of the change is sent to Plan participants at least 30 days before the record date for such distribution. The Plan also may be amended or terminated by the transfer agent by at least 30 days’ written notice to all Plan participants. Additional information regarding the Plan may be obtained from, and all correspondence concerning the Plan should be directed to, the transfer agent at PFPC Inc., P.O. Box 43027, Providence, Rhode Island 02940-3027. For further information regarding the Plan, you may also contact the transfer agent directly at 1-800-331 1710.

Distribution policy
The Fund’s Board adopted a managed distribution policy in December 1999. Pursuant to the policy as in effect from December 1999 through early May 2005, the Fund made regular monthly distributions at an annualized rate equal to 11% of the Fund’s net asset value, as determined as of the last trading day during the first week of that month (usually a Friday unless the NYSE is closed that Friday). The Board approved reducing the annualized rate for distribution pursuant to the policy from 11% to 9% effective beginning with the June 2005 monthly distribution. Prior to December 20, 1999, the Fund’s distributions varied based on the Fund’s net investment income and realized capital gains or losses. The Fund’s Board may change or terminate the managed distribution policy at any time; any such change or termination may have an adverse effect on the market price for the Fund’s shares.

To the extent that the Fund’s taxable income in any fiscal year exceeds the aggregate amount distributed based on a fixed percentage of its net asset value, the Fund would make an additional distribution in the amount of that excess near the end of the fiscal year. To the extent that the aggregate amount distributed by the Fund (based on a percentage of its net assets) exceeds its current and accumulated earnings and profits, the amount of that excess would constitute a return of capital or net realized capital gains for tax purposes.

Monthly distributions based on a fixed percentage of the Fund’s net asset value may require the Fund to make multiple distributions of long-term capital gains during a single fiscal year. The Fund has received exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission that enables it to do so. The Fund’s Board will reassess the annualized percentage of net assets at which the Fund’s monthly distributions will be made no less frequently than annually.

Revised distribution characteristics for distributions made from January 2007 through May 2007 and additional information
In 2007 press releases issued through the end of May, the Fund provided estimated information regarding the sources of its monthly distributions. Those press releases and certain related shareholder notices indicated that prior 2007 distributions were estimated to be sourced from a combination of net investment income and long-term or short-term capital gains. The Fund subsequently determined to reclassify certain distributions made earlier this year in connection with an annual tax filing made in July 2007.


41

Global High Income Fund Inc.

General information (unaudited)

The Fund reclassified the sources of the distributions made from January 2007 through May 2007 from certain various percentages of net investment income and/or long-term or short-term capital gains, noted in previous disclosures, to the following (as previously noted in the semi-annual report for the period ended April 30, 2007): for distributions declared in January 2007 and February 2007, the estimated source of the these distributions is long-term capital gains only; for the distribution declared in March 2007, the estimated source of that distribution is 86% long-term capital gains and 14% short-term capital gains; for the distribution declared in April 2007, the estimated source of that distribution is short-term capital gains; and for the distribution declared in May 2007, the Fund estimates that 5% of this monthly distribution represented short-term capital gains and 95% represented net investment income. This readjustment does not change the amount of the distributions that had been paid, only their estimated characteristics.

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

Background—At a meeting of the board of Global High Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) on July 18, 2007, the members of the board, including the directors who are not “interested persons” of the Fund (“Independent Directors”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), considered and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement of the Fund with UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”). In preparing for the meeting, the board members had requested and received extensive information from UBS Global AM to assist them, including performance and expense information for other investment companies with similar investment objectives. The board received and considered a variety of information about UBS Global AM, as well as the advisory and administrative arrangements for the Fund. In addition, one of the Independent Directors and legal counsel to the Independent Directors met several times with management and representatives of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) to discuss management’s proposed profitability methodology and made suggestions for changes to the methodology. As a result of management’s focus on the profitability methodology and this series of meetings, the Independent Directors received extensive information on UBS Global AM’s profitability, a report from management on the methodology used and a report from PwC on industry practices with respect to profitability methodology. The board received materials detailing the administrative services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM, which include providing accounting and financial analysis, ensuring that all financial and tax regulatory reporting requirements were met, certifying required Securities and Exchange Commission documentation and monitoring the performance of the Fund’s service providers.

The Independent Directors also met for several hours the evening before the board meeting to discuss matters related to the Fund and other funds subject to their oversight and met again after management’s presentation was completed to review the disclosure that had been made to them at the meeting. At all of these sessions the Independent Directors met in session with their independent legal counsel. The Independent Directors also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the duties of board members in considering approval of advisory and administration agreements.

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

In its consideration of the approval of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement, the board considered the following factors:

Nature, extent and quality of the services under the investment advisory and administration agreement—The board received and considered information regarding the nature, extent and quality of advisory services provided to the Fund by UBS Global AM under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement during the past year. The board also received a description of the administrative and other services rendered to the Fund and its shareholders by UBS Global AM. The board considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative and shareholder services performed by UBS Global AM and its affiliates. The board also considered the resources devoted to, and the record of compliance with, the Fund’s compliance policies and procedures. The board noted that it received information at regular meetings throughout the year regarding the services rendered by UBS Global AM concerning the management of the Fund’s affairs and UBS Global AM’s role in coordinating providers of other services to the Fund, including custody, accounting and transfer agency services. The board’s evaluation of the services provided by UBS Global AM took into account the board’s knowledge and familiarity gained as board members of funds in the UBS New York Fund complex, including the scope and quality of UBS Global AM’s investment advisory and other capabilities and the quality of its administrative and other services. The board observed that the scope of services provided by UBS Global AM had expanded over time as a result of regulatory and other developments, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund’s expanded compliance programs.

The board had available to it the qualifications, backgrounds and responsibilities of the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM and had received information regarding the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and recognized that the Fund’s senior personnel at UBS Global AM report to the board regularly, some at every board meeting, and that at each regular meeting the board receives a report on the Fund’s performance. The board also considered, based on its knowledge of UBS Global AM and its affiliates, the financial resources available to UBS Global AM and its parent organization, UBS AG. In that regard, the board received extensive financial information regarding UBS Global AM and noted that it was a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of one of the largest financial services firms in the world. It was


44

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

also noted that UBS Global AM had well over $100 billion in assets under management and was part of the UBS Global Asset Management Division, which had over $700 billion of assets under management worldwide as of June 2007.

The board reviewed how transactions in Fund assets are effected. The board also reviewed the Fund’s brokerage policies and practices, the standards applied in seeking best execution, policies and practices regarding soft dollars, the use of a broker affiliated with UBS Global AM and the existence of quality controls applicable to brokerage allocation procedures. In addition, UBS Global AM also reported to the board on, among other things, its disaster recovery plans and portfolio manager compensation plan.

The board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement.

Advisory fees and expense ratios—The board reviewed and considered the contractual management fee (“Contractual Management Fee”) payable by the Fund to UBS Global AM in light of the nature, extent and quality of the advisory and administrative services provided by UBS Global AM. The board also reviewed and considered the fee waiver arrangement in place for the Fund and considered the actual fee rate (after taking any waivers into account) (the “Actual Management Fee”). Additionally, the board received and considered information comparing the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee, Actual Management Fee and overall expenses with those of funds in a group of funds selected and provided by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”), an independent provider of investment company data (the “Expense Group”).

In connection with its consideration of the Fund’s advisory fees, the board also received information on UBS Global AM’s standard institutional account fees for accounts of a similar investment type to the Fund. The board noted that, in general, these fees were lower than the Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee for the Fund, but also noted management’s explanation that comparisons with such accounts may be of limited relevance given the different structures and regulatory requirements of funds versus such accounts and the differences in the levels of services required by funds and such accounts. The board also received information on fees charged to other funds managed by UBS Global AM.


45

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee and Actual Management Fee were in the fifth quintile, while its total expenses were in the fourth quintile in the Fund’s Expense Group for the comparison periods utilized in the Lipper report (with the first quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Expense Group with the lowest level of fees or expenses, as applicable, and the fifth quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Expense Group with the highest level of fees or expenses, as applicable). Management noted to the board that although the Fund’s total expenses were in the fourth quintile, management considered total expenses of the fund generally comparable to those of funds at the median of the Expense group.

Taking all of the above into consideration, the board determined that the management fee was reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund under the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement.

Fund performance—The board received and considered performance information of the Fund compared to other funds (the “Performance Universe”) selected by Lipper over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods, through April 30, 2007. The board was provided with a description of the methodology Lipper used to determine the similarity of the Fund with the funds included in its Performance Universe. The board noted that it had received information throughout the year at periodic intervals with respect to the Fund’s performance.

The comparative Lipper information showed that the Fund’s performance was in the fourth quintile for the one-year period, the second quintile for the three-year period and the third quintile for the five- and ten-year periods and since inception (with the first quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Performance Universe with the highest performance and the fifth quintile representing that fifth of the funds in the Performance Universe with the lowest performance). The board recognized that in November 2006, based on UBS Global AM’s recommendation, it approved removing the Fund’s 20% limitation on non-US dollar investments, which provides the Fund greater investment flexibility and could result in enhanced performance, although with possible additional risk. Management noted to the board that the Fund’s return for the one-year period did not fully reflect the implementation of the Fund’s new investment strategy. In addition, management noted that under current market conditions it


46

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

believes that the Fund should benefit from the removal of this investment limitation. Management also noted that the Fund is more conservatively managed than many funds in its Performance Universe in terms of credit risk, country risk and leverage—the Fund did not borrow from banks for investment purposes or issue preferred stock in order to leverage the investment portfolio—which were contributing factors to the Fund’s below average one-year period performance. Based on its review, the board concluded that the Fund’s investment performance was satisfactory.

Adviser profitability—The board received and considered a profitability analysis of UBS Global AM and its affiliates in providing services to the Fund. The board also received profitability information with respect to the UBS fund complex as a whole. In addition, the board received information with respect to UBS Global AM’s allocation methodologies used in preparing this profitability data. UBS Global AM’s profitability was considered not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Fund.

Economies of scale—The board received and considered information from management regarding whether UBS Global AM has achieved economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, whether the Fund has appropriately benefited from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of further economies of scale for the Fund. The board considered whether economies of scale in the provision of services to the Fund were being passed along to shareholders. The board also considered whether alternative fee structures (such as breakpoints) would be more appropriate or reasonable taking into consideration economies of scale or other efficiencies.

The board noted that the Fund’s Contractual Management Fee did not contain a breakpoint; however, UBS Global AM had agreed to a breakpoint via a fee waiver agreement that could only be removed with the consent of the board. The board considered that the Fund’s asset level exceeded the breakpoint and as a result, the Fund and its shareholders realized certain economies of scale because the total expense ratio of the Fund was lower than if no breakpoint had been in place. Accordingly, the board determined that economies of scale were passed on to shareholders in the form of a breakpoint in the management fee.


47

Global High Income Fund Inc.

Board approval of investment advisory and administration agreement (unaudited)

Generally, in light of UBS Global AM’s profitability data, the Actual Management Fee, the Contractual Management Fee and the breakpoint currently in place for the Fund, the board believed that UBS Global AM’s sharing of potential and current economies of scale with the Fund was acceptable.

Other benefits to UBS Global AM—The board considered other benefits received by UBS Global AM and its affiliates as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including the opportunity to offer additional products and services to Fund shareholders.

In light of the costs of providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Fund and UBS Global AM’s ongoing commitment to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits that UBS Global AM and its affiliates received were considered reasonable.

In light of all of the foregoing, the board approved the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement to continue for another year. In making its decision, the board identified no single factor as being determinative in approving the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement. The Independent Directors were advised by separate independent legal counsel throughout the entire process. The board discussed the proposed continuance of the Investment Advisory and Administration Agreement in a private session with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of UBS Global AM were present.

In each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, there were no fees billed by E&Y for products and services, other than the services reported in Item 4(a)-(c) above, rendered to the registrant.
   
 
   
Fees included in the all other fees category would consist of services related to internal control reviews, strategy and other consulting, financial information systems design and implementation, consulting on other information systems, and other tax services unrelated to the registrant.

(e)   (1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
     
The registrant’s Audit Committee (“audit committee”) has adopted an “Audit Committee Charter (Amended and Restated as of May 12, 2004-Revised as of November 6, 2006)” (the “charter”). The charter contains the audit committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the charter regarding pre-approval policies and procedures:

      The [audit] Committee shall:
         
      ...
         
      2.
Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services1 to be provided to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Fund’s independent auditors to UBS Global [Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”)] and any Covered Service Providers, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek periodically from UBS Global [AM] and from the independent auditors a list of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be rendered to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] or any Covered Service Providers by the Fund’s independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be paid in connection with such services. The Committee may delegate its responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to

       
time, may determine and appoint, and such sub-committee shall report to the Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committee’s meeting, its decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including the delegation of some or all of the Committee’s pre-approval responsibilities to other persons (other than UBS Global [AM] or the Fund’s officers).

     
       
1 The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently, permissible non-audit services include any professional services (including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may not include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services; (v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.
 
       
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] and any service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control with UBS Global [AM] that provide ongoing services to the Fund (“Covered Service Providers”) constitutes not more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors (during the fiscal year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided) by (a) the Fund, (b) its investment adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.

(e)   (2) Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X:
       
      Audit-Related Fees:
     
There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006 on behalf of the registrant.
       
     
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
       
      Tax Fees:
     
There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006 on behalf of the registrant.
       
     
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.
       
      All Other Fees:
     
There were no amounts that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006 on behalf of the registrant.
       
     
There were no amounts that were required to be approved by the audit committee pursuant to the de minimis exception for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006 on behalf of the registrant’s service providers that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

(f)  
According to E&Y, for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who are not full-time, permanent employees of E&Y was 0%.
     
(g)  
For the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006, the aggregate fees billed by E&Y of $385,425 and $403,038, respectively, for non-audit services rendered on behalf of the registrant (“covered”), its investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser (“non-covered”) that provides ongoing services to the registrant for each of the last two fiscal years of the registrant is shown in the table below:
     

        2007       2006
    Covered Services   $7,850       $7,923
    Non-Covered Services   377,575       395,115

(h)  
The registrant’s audit committee was not required to consider whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser (not including any sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

The registrant has a separately designated standing audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Audit Committee is comprised of the following board members: Mr. Armstrong, Mr. Bernikow, Mr. Burt, Mr. Garil and Ms. Higgins.

Item 6. Schedule of Investments.

Included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

The registrant’s Board of Directors believes that the voting of proxies on securities held by the registrant is an important element of the overall investment process. As such, the Board has delegated the responsibility to vote such proxies to the registrant’s advisor. Following is a summary of the proxy voting policy of the advisor.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY, VOTING GUIDELINES AND POLICY SUMMARY

The proxy voting policy of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”) is based on its belief that voting rights have economic value and must be treated accordingly. Generally, UBS Global AM expects the boards of directors of companies issuing securities held by its clients to act as stewards of the financial assets of the company, to exercise good judgment and practice diligent oversight with the management of the company. While there is no absolute set of rules that determines appropriate corporate governance under all circumstances and no set of rules will guarantee ethical behavior, there are certain benchmarks, which, if substantial progress is made toward, give evidence of good corporate governance. UBS Global AM may delegate to an independent proxy voting and research service the authority to exercise the voting rights associated with certain client holdings. Any such delegation shall be made with the direction that the votes be exercised in accordance with UBS Global AM’s proxy voting policy.

When UBS Global AM’s view of a company’s management is favorable, UBS Global AM generally supports current management initiatives. When UBS Global AM’s view is that changes to the management structure would probably increase shareholder value, UBS Global AM may not support existing management proposals. In general, UBS Global AM (1) opposes proposals which act to entrench management; (2) believes that boards should be independent of company management and composed of persons with requisite skills, knowledge and experience; (3) opposes structures which impose financial constraints on changes in control; (4) believes remuneration should be commensurate with responsibilities and performance; and (5) believes that appropriate steps should be taken to ensure the independence of auditors.


UBS Global AM has implemented procedures designed to identify whether it has a conflict of interest in voting a particular proxy proposal, which may arise as a result of its or its affiliates’ client relationships, marketing efforts or banking and broker/dealer activities. To address such conflicts, UBS Global AM has imposed information barriers between it and its affiliates who conduct banking, investment banking and broker/dealer activities and has implemented procedures to prevent business, sales and marketing issues from influencing our proxy votes. Whenever UBS Global AM is aware of a conflict with respect to a particular proxy, its appropriate local corporate governance committee is required to review and agree to the manner in which such proxy is voted.

Item 8. Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies.

  (a) (1) Name – Uwe Schillhorn
      Title – Vice President
      Length of Service – Since 2004
       
   

Business Experience Last 5 Years – Mr. Schillhorn is an executive director and head of emerging markets debt (since 2004) of UBS Global AM. Mr. Schillhorn is a vice president of two investment companies (consisting of two portfolios) for which UBS Global AM or one of its affiliates serves as investment advisor, sub-advisor or manager.

       
   

Information is as of – December 28, 2007

       
  (a) (2) (i) Portfolio Manager
       
     

Uwe Schillhorn

       
  (a) (2) (ii) (A) Registered Management Investment Companies
       
   

The portfolio manager is responsible for 4 additional Registered Management Investment Companies (not including the Registrant) totaling approximately $310 million in total assets as of October 31, 2007.

       
  (a) (2) (ii) (B) Other Pooled Investment Vehicles
       
     

The Portfolio Manager is responsible for 10 additional Other Pooled Investment Vehicles totaling approximately $1.9 billion in total assets as of October 31, 2007.

       
  (a) (2) (ii) (C) Other Accounts
       
     

The Portfolio Manager is responsible for 18 additional accounts totaling approximately $2.4 billion in total assets as of October 31, 2007.

       
  (a) (2) (iii) Accounts with respect to which an advisory fee is based on the performance of the account.
       
     

None

       

  (a) (2) (iv) Conflicts.
       
   

The management of the registrant and other accounts by a portfolio manager could result in potential conflicts of interest if the registrant and other accounts have different objectives, benchmarks and fees because the portfolio manager and his team must allocate time and investment expertise across multiple accounts, including the registrant. The portfolio manager and his team manage the registrant and other accounts utilizing an approach that groups similar accounts by characteristics and objectives. The Advisor manages accounts according to their respective objectives, including where possible, those accounts that have specific investment restrictions. Accordingly, portfolio holdings, position sizes, and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across accounts, which may minimize the potential for conflicts of interest.

       
   

If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one account, the registrant may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible portfolios and accounts. To deal with these situations, the Advisor has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio trades across multiple accounts to provide fair treatment to all accounts.

       
   

The management of personal accounts by a portfolio manager may also give rise to potential conflicts of interest. The Advisor and the registrant have adopted a Code of Ethics that governs such personal trading, but there is no assurance that the Code will adequately address all such conflicts.

       
   

(Information in Item 8(a)(2) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of October 31, 2007.)

       
  (a) (3) Compensation.
       
     

The compensation received by portfolio managers at UBS Global AM, including Mr. Schilhorn, includes a base salary and incentive compensation as detailed below. Overall compensation can be grouped into three categories: base salary, annual bonuses and UBS AG equity. Base salary is fixed compensation used to recognize the experience, skills and knowledge that the investment professionals bring to their roles. Annual bonuses are correlated with performance and are based on three components: 1) the firm’s overall business success; 2) the performance of the respective asset class and/or investment mandate; and 3) an individual’s specific contribution to the firm’s results. Senior investment professionals may receive a portion of their annual performance-based incentive in the form of deferred or restricted UBS AG shares or employee stock options. Broader equity share ownership is encouraged for all employees through “Equity Plus.” This long-term incentive program gives employees the opportunity to purchase UBS stock with after-tax funds from their bonus or salary. Two UBS stock options are given for each share acquired and held for two years. The performance related component of the portfolio manager’s bonus is based on the performance of the funds he manages as compared to each fund’s broad-based index over one, two and three year periods. With respect to the Registrant, the benchmark in effect as of December 2007 is a blended benchmark composed of 70% of JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index-Global Index and 30% JP Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Diversified (in USD).

(Information in Item 8(a)(4) is provided as of the Registrant’s fiscal year end of October 31, 2007.)
