1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

 

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

 

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. Securities traded on national securities markets are valued at the closing price on such markets or, if there were no sales during the day, at the mean between the closing bid and asked prices; securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market System for which market quotations are available are valued at the official closing price or, if there is no official closing price on that day, at the last sale price; securities traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities of similar type; U.S. government agencies and obligations are valued at the mean between the last reported bid and asked prices. 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 of Directors. Fair valuing of securities may be determined with the assistance of a pricing service using calculations based on indices of domestic securities and other appropriate indicators, such as prices of relevant ADRs and futures contracts. Securities maturing within 60 days are valued at cost plus accreted discount or minus amortized premium, which approximates value. Securities, other than U.S. government agencies, that have a maturity of 60 days or more are valued at prices based on market quotations for securities of similar type, yield and maturity.

 

(b) Repurchase Agreements. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is the Fund’s policy that a custodian takes 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 of 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) Swap Contracts. The Fund has entered into interest rate swap agreements with Merrill Lynch Capital Services, Inc. The Fund will record the difference between a predetermined fixed interest rate and the closing value on the One-Month LIBOR. These differences are netted out in a cash settlement made monthly, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two differences. The Fund is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the swap counterparty.

 

(d) Investment Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for on trade date.
