REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM ON INTERNAL CONTROL Shareholders and Board of Directors Global Income Fund, Inc. New York, New York In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of Global Income Fund, Inc. (the "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2005, we considered its internal control, including control activities for safeguarding securities, in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and to comply with the requirements of Form N-SAR, not to provide assurance on internal control. The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal control. In fulfilling this responsibility, estimates and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of controls. Generally, controls that are relevant to an audit pertain to the entity's objective of preparing financial statements for external purposes that are fairly presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Those controls include the safeguarding of assets against unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition. Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, error or fraud may occur and not be detected. Also, projection of any evaluation of the internal control to future periods is subject to the risk that it may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the effectiveness of the design and operation may deteriorate. Our consideration of the internal control would not necessarily disclose all matters in internal control that might be material weaknesses under standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements caused by error or fraud in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. However, we noted no matters involving internal control and its operation, including controls for safeguarding securities, which we consider to be material weaknesses, as defined above, as of December 31, 2005. This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, Shareholders, and Board of Directors of Global Income Fund, Inc. and the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties. TAIT, WELLER & BAKER LLP Philadelphia, Pennsylvania January 19, 2006 EX-99.77Q1 3 gifinvestmanageagt.txt INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AGREEMENT made as of the 14th day of September, 2005, by and between GLOBAL INCOME FUND, INC. a Maryland corporation (the "Fund") and CEF ADVISERS, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Investment Manager"). WHEREAS the Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as a closed-end management investment company; and WHEREAS, the Fund desires to retain the Investment Manager to furnish certain investment advisory and portfolio management services to the Fund, and the Investment Manager desires to furnish such services; NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is hereby agreed between the parties hereto as follows: 1. The Fund hereby employs the Investment Manager to manage the investment and reinvestment of its assets, including the regular furnishing of advice with respect to the Fund's portfolio transactions subject at all times to the control and oversight of the Fund's Board of Directors, for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Investment Manager hereby accepts such employment and agrees during such period to render the services and to assume the obligations herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided. The Investment Manager shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized, have no authority to act for or represent the Fund in any way, or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund. 2. The Fund assumes and shall pay all the expenses required for the conduct of its business including, but not limited to, salaries of administrative and clerical personnel, brokerage commissions, taxes, insurance, fees of the transfer agent, custodian, legal counsel and auditors, association fees, costs of filing, printing and mailing proxies, reports and notices to shareholders, preparing, filing and printing the prospectus and statement of additional information, payment of dividends, costs of stock certificates, costs of shareholders meetings, fees of the independent directors, necessary office space rental, all expenses relating to the registration or qualification of shares of the Fund under applicable Blue Sky laws and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel in connection with such registration and qualification and such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including, without limitation, actions, suits or proceedings affecting the Fund and the legal obligation which the Fund may have to indemnify its officers and directors with respect thereto. 3. If requested by the Fund's Board of Directors, the Investment Manager may provide other services to the Fund such as, without limitation, the functions of billing, accounting, certain shareholder communications and services, administering state and Federal registrations, filings and controls and other administrative services. Any services so requested and performed will be for the account of the Fund and the costs of the Investment Manager in rendering such services shall be reimbursed by the Fund, subject to examination by those directors of the Fund who are not interested -1- persons of the Investment Manager or any affiliate thereof. 4. The services of the Investment Manager are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Investment Manager shall be free to render similar services to others in addition to the Fund so long as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby. 5. The Investment Manager shall create and maintain all necessary books and records in accordance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to records required by Section 31(a) of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder, as the same may be amended from time to time, pertaining to the investment management services performed by it hereunder and not otherwise created and maintained by another party pursuant to a written contract with the Fund. Where applicable, such records shall be maintained by the Investment Manager for the periods and in the places required by Rule 3la-2 under the 1940 Act. The books and records pertaining to the Fund which are in the possession of the Investment Manager shall be the property of the Fund. The Fund, or the Fund's authorized representatives, shall have access to such books and records at all times during the Investment Manager's normal business hours. Upon the reasonable request of the Fund, copies of any such books and records shall be provided by the Investment Manager to the Fund or the Fund's authorized representatives. 6. As compensation for its services, with respect to the Fund the Investment Manager will be paid by the Fund a fee payable monthly, based on the average weekly net assets of the Fund, and computed at the annual rate of 7/10 of 1% of the first $50 million, 5/8 of 1% over $50 million to $150 million, and 1/2 of 1% over $150 million. The aggregate net assets for each day shall be computed by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund from the value of its assets, such amount to be computed as of the calculation of the net asset values per share on each business day. 7. The Investment Manager shall direct portfolio transactions to broker/dealers for execution on terms and at rates which it believes, in good faith, to be reasonable in view of the overall nature and quality of services provided by a particular broker/dealer, including brokerage and research services and sales of shares of the Fund and shares of the other funds in the Midas fund complex. The Investment Manager may also allocate portfolio transactions to broker/dealers that remit a portion of their commissions as a credit against Fund expenses. With respect to brokerage and research services, the Investment Manager may consider in the selection of broker/dealers brokerage or research provided and payment may be made of a fee higher than that charged by another broker/dealer which does not furnish brokerage or research services or which furnishes brokerage or research services deemed to be of lesser value, so long as the criteria of Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable laws are met. Although the Investment Manager may direct portfolio transactions without necessarily obtaining the lowest price at which such broker/dealer, or another, may be willing to do business, the Investment Manager shall seek the best value for the Fund on each trade that circumstances in the market place permit, including the value inherent in on-going relationships with quality brokers. To the extent any such brokerage or research services may be deemed to be additional compensation to the Investment Manager from the Fund, it is authorized by this Agreement. The Investment Manager may place brokerage for the Fund through an affiliate of the Investment Manager, provided that: the Fund not deal with such affiliate in any transaction in which such affiliate acts as principal; the commissions, -2- fees or other remuneration received by such affiliate be reasonable and fair compared to the commissions, fees or other remuneration paid to other brokers in connection with comparable transactions involving similar securities being purchased or sold on a securities exchange during a comparable period of time; and such brokerage be undertaken in compliance with applicable law. The Investment Manager's fees under this Agreement shall not be reduced by reason of any commissions, fees or other remuneration received by such affiliate from the Fund. 8. The Investment Manager shall waive all or part of its fee or reimburse the Fund monthly if and to the extent the aggregate operating expenses of the Fund exceed the most restrictive limit imposed by any state in which shares of the Fund are qualified for sale. In calculating the limit of operating expenses, all expenses excludable under state regulation or otherwise shall be excluded. If this Agreement is in effect for less than all of a fiscal year, any such limit will be applied proportionately. 9. Subject to and in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws of the Fund and of the Investment Manager, it is understood that directors, officers, agents and shareholders of the Fund are or may be interested in the Fund as directors, officers, shareholders and otherwise, that the Investment Manager is or may be interested in the Fund as a shareholder or otherwise and that the effect and nature of any such interests shall be governed by law and by the provisions, if any, of said Articles of Incorporation or By-laws. 10. A. This Agreement shall become effective upon the date hereinabove written and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall continue in effect for one year from the above written date. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue automatically for successive periods of twelve months each, provided that such continuance is specifically approved at least annually (a) by a vote of a majority of the Directors of the Fund or by vote of the holders of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting securities of the Fund as defined in the 1940 Act and (b) by a vote of a majority of the Directors of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement, or interested persons of such party. This Agreement may be terminated without penalty at any time either by vote of the Board of Directors of the Fund or by a vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund on 60 days' written notice to the Investment Manager, or by the Investment Manager on 60 days' written notice to the Fund. This Agreement shall immediately terminate in the event of its assignment. 11. The Investment Manager shall not be liable to the Fund or any shareholder of the Fund for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund or the Fund's shareholders in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, but nothing herein contained shall be construed to protect the Investment Manager against any liability to the Fund or the Fund's shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. 12. As used in this Agreement, the terms "interested person," "assignment," and "majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall have the meanings provided therefor in the 1940 Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder. -3- 13. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior agreement, with respect to the subject hereof whether oral or written. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court or regulatory agency, decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. 14. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the 1940 Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the day and year first above written. ATTEST: GLOBAL INCOME FUND, INC. /s/John F. Ramirez /s/Thomas B.
