1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

The Real Estate Income Fund Inc. (the “Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland and is registered as a non-diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended.

The following are significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund and are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

(a)     Investment Valuation. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service that are based on transactions in debt obligations, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities. When prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect fair value, such as when the value of a security has been significantly affected by events after the close of the exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, but before the Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund may value these investments at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Directors. Short-term obligations with maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.

(b)     Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that its custodian or a third party custodian takes possession of the underlying collateral securities, the market value of which at least equals the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest. To the extent that any repurchase transaction exceeds one business day, the value of the collateral is marked-to-market to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the seller defaults, and the market value of the collateral declines or if bankruptcy proceedings are commenced with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

(c)     Interest Rate Swaps. In order to manage interest rate sensitivity (duration), the Fund has entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Merrill Lynch Capital Services Inc. (counterparty) pursuant to which, the Fund has guaranteed to make semi-annual payments to the counterparty at predetermined fixed rates, in exchange for floating payments from the counterparty at the 1-month LIBOR, based on notional principal amount. During the term of the outstanding swap agreement, changes in the underlying value of the swap are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. Net periodic interest payments to be received or paid are accrued daily and recorded in the Statement of Operations as an adjustment to realized gain or loss.

(d)     Concentration Risk. The fund invests in securities related to the real estate industry and is subject to the risks of real estate markets, including fluctuating property values, changes in interest rates and other mortgage related risks.

(e)     Security Transactions. Security Transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis.

2.     Investments

At September 30, 2005, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments for federal income tax purposes were substantially as follows:


Gross unrealized appreciation     $82,374,995  
Gross unrealized depreciation    (770,676 )

Net unrealized appreciation   $ 81,604,319
