Note 1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

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

 

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

 

(a) Investment Valuation. In valuing the Fund’s assets, all securities for which market quotations are readily available are valued (i) at the last sale price prior to the time of determination if there were a sale on the date of determination, (ii) at the mean between the last current bid and asked prices if there were no sales on such date and bid and asked quotations are available, and (iii) at the bid price if there were no sales price on such date and only bid quotations are available. Publicly traded foreign government debt securities are typically traded internationally in the over-the-counter market, and are valued at the mean between the last current bid and asked price as of the close of business of that market. However, when the spread between bid and asked price exceeds five percent of the par value of the security, the security is valued at the bid price. Securities may also be valued by independent pricing services which use prices provided by market-makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar characteristics. When market quotations or official closing prices are not readily available, or are determined not to reflect accurately 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 (for example, a foreign exchange or market), 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. Short-term investments having maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. Securities for which reliable quotations are not readily available and all other securities and assets are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under procedures established by, the Board of Directors.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that the custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the 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 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) Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into reverse repurchase agreements in which the Fund sells portfolio securities and agrees to repurchase them from the buyer at a particular date and price. Whenever the Fund enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, the custodian delivers liquid assets in an amount at least equal to the repurchase price marked-to-market daily (including accrued interest), and subsequently monitors the account to ensure that such equivalent value is maintained. The Fund pays interest on amounts obtained pursuant to reverse repurchase agreements. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by the Fund. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and the risk that the market value of securities retained by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the securities sold by the Fund which it is obligated to repurchase.

 

(d) Futures Contracts. The Fund may from time to time enter into futures contracts. Securities or cash equal to the initial margin amount are either deposited with the broker or segregated by the custodian upon entering the futures contract. Additional securities are also segregated up to

 

12


Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited) (continued)

 

the current market value of the futures contracts. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking-to-market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contract at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made and recognized as assets due from or liabilities due to broker, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transactions and the Fund’s basis in the contract. The Fund enters into such contracts typically to hedge a portion of their portfolios. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in the value of the financial instruments and securities indices.

 

(e) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set price on a future date. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When a forward foreign currency contract is extinguished, through either delivery or offset by entering into another forward foreign currency contract, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value of the contract at the time it was extinguished or offset. The Fund bears the market risk that arises from changes in foreign currency exchange rates and the credit risk should a counterparty fail to meet the terms of such contracts.

 

(f) Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Fund enters into dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (same type, coupon and maturity) securities to settle on a specified future date. During the roll period, the Fund forgoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund is compensated by a fee paid by the counterparty. Dollar rolls are accounted for as financing arrangements; the fee is accrued into interest income ratably over the term of the dollar roll and any gain or loss on the roll is deferred and realized upon disposition of the rolled security. Dollar roll transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold by the Fund may decline below the repurchase price of the similar securities.

 

(g) Securities Traded on a To-Be-Announced Basis. The Fund may trade securities on a to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis. In a TBA transaction, the Fund commits to purchasing or selling securities for which specific information is not yet known at the time of the trade, particularly the face amount and maturity date in Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) transactions. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, normally 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid high grade debt obligations are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. These transactions are subject to market fluctuations and their current value is determined in the same manner as for other securities.

 

(h) Loan Participations. The Fund invests in fixed and floating rate loans arranged through private negotiations between a foreign sovereign entity and one or more financial institutions. The Fund’s investment in any such loan may be in the form of a participation in or an assignment of the loan. In connection with purchasing participations, the Fund generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the borrower with the terms of the loan agreement relating to the loan, nor any rights of set-off against the borrower, and the Fund may not benefit directly from any

 

13


Notes to Schedule of Investments (unaudited) (continued)

 

collateral supporting the loan in which it has purchased the participation. As a result, the Fund will assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the lender that is selling the participation. In the event of the insolvency of the lender selling the participation, the Fund may be treated as a general creditor of the lender and may not benefit from any set-off between the lender and the borrower.

 

(i) Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on the rate of exchange of such currencies against U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the rate of exchange quoted on the respective date that such transactions are recorded. The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held at the date of the financial statements. Net unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments and foreign currency translation arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at the date of the financial statements, resulting from changes in the exchange rates and changes in market prices of securities held. Differences between income and expense amounts recorded and collected or paid are adjusted when reported by the custodian bank.

                      $ 432,529
                     

 

The average monthly balance of mortgage dollar rolls outstanding during the three months ended August 31, 2004 was $220,515,749. At August 31, 2004, the Fund had outstanding mortgage dollar rolls with a total cost of $224,700,000. Counterparties with mortgage dollar rolls outstanding in excess of 10% of total net assets at August 31, 2004 included J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. ($66,360,226), Bear Stearns ($63,023,472) and Merrill Lynch Government Securities Inc. ($59,704,931).

 

At August 31, 2004, the Fund held TBA securities with a total coat of $224,700,000.

 

At August 31, 2004, the Fund held loan participations with a total cost of $4,126,150 and a total market value of $4,174,834.

 

Note 3. Credit Risk

 

The yields of emerging markets debt obligations and high-yield corporate debt obligations reflect, among other things, perceived credit risk. The Fund’s investment in securities rated below investment grade typically involves risks not associated with higher rated securities including, among others, overall greater risk of timely and ultimate payment of interest and principal, greater market price volatility and less liquid secondary market trading. The consequences of political, social, economic or diplomatic changes may have disruptive effects on the market prices of investments held by the Fund.

 

Note 4. Foreign Securities

 

Investing in securities of foreign companies and foreign governments involves special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in U.S. companies and the U.S. government. These risks include revaluation of currencies and future adverse political and economic developments. Moreover, securities of many foreign companies and foreign governments and their markets may be less liquid and their prices more volatile than those of securities of comparable U.S. companies and the U.S. government.

Note 5. Loan

 

At August 31, 2004, the Fund had outstanding a $100,000,000 loan pursuant to a revolving credit and security agreement with Three Pillars Funding Corp. and Citicorp North America Inc. (“CNA”), an affiliate of SBAM. In addition, CNA acts as administrative agent. The loans generally bear interest at a variable rate based on the weighted average interest rates of the underlying commercial paper or LIBOR, plus any applicable margin. Securities held by the Fund are subject to a lien, granted to the lenders, to the extent of the borrowing outstanding and any additional expenses.
