Notes to Financial Statements

Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc.

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies:

Legg Mason Income Trust, Inc. (“Corporation”), consisting of the Investment Grade Income Portfolio (“Investment Grade”), and the Limited Duration Bond Portfolio (“Limited Duration”) (each a “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as an open-end, diversified investment company.

Investment Grade and Limited Duration Portfolios consist of two classes of shares: Primary Class and Institutional Class. The income and expenses of each of these Funds are allocated proportionately to the two classes of shares based on daily net assets, except for Rule 12b-1 distribution fees, which are charged only on Primary Class shares, and transfer agent and shareholder servicing expenses, which are determined separately for each class.

Preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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 followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. Subsequent events have been evaluated through July 10, 2009, the issuance date of the financial statements.

Investment Valuation

The Funds’ securities are valued under policies approved by and under the general oversight of the Board of Directors. The Fund adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 (“FAS 157”). FAS 157 establishes a single definition of fair value, creates a three-tier hierarchy as a framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Fund’s investments, and requires additional disclosure about fair value. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

 

   

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

   

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Debt securities are valued at the last quoted bid 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 other relationships between securities. 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. Publicly traded foreign government debt securities are typically traded internationally in the over-the-counter market and are valued at the bid price as of the close of business of that market. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. 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 a Fund calculates its net asset value, the Fund may value these securities at fair value as determined in accordance with the procedures approved by the Corporation’s Board of Directors.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in these securities

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets carried at fair value:

Security Transactions

Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade date. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are reported on an identified cost basis for both financial reporting and federal income tax purposes.

For the six months ended June 30, 2009, security transactions (excluding short-term investments) were as follows:

     U.S. Gov’t.

   $ 15,537,702    $ 10,368,473    $ 19,244,732    $ 16,073,178

Repurchase Agreements

Each Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with institutions that its investment adviser has determined are creditworthy. Each repurchase agreement is recorded at cost. Under the terms of a typical repurchase agreement, a fund takes possession of an underlying debt obligation subject to an obligation of the seller to repurchase, and of the fund to resell, the obligation at an agreed-upon price and time, thereby determining the yield during a fund’s holding period. When entering into repurchase agreements, it is each Fund’s policy that its custodian acting on the Fund’s behalf, or a third party custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the market value of which, at all times, 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 daily in an effort to ensure the adequacy of the collateral. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund generally has the right to use the collateral to satisfy the terms of the repurchase transaction. However, if the market value of the collateral declines during the period in which a Fund seeks to assert its rights 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.

Options and Futures

The current market value of an exchange traded option is the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the price obtained by reference to broker-dealer quotations. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. Futures contracts are marked-to-market on a daily basis. As the contract’s value fluctuates, payments known as variation margin are made or received by each Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses, and a Fund recognizes a gain or loss when the contract is closed.

Investment Income and Distributions to Shareholders

Interest income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Bond premiums and discounts are amortized for financial reporting and federal income tax purposes. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are allocated at the class level and are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for each Fund. Net capital gain distributions, which are calculated at the Fund level, are declared and paid in December, to the extent necessary in order to comply with federal excise tax regulations. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from those determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Funds’ capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under federal income tax regulations.


Semi-Annual Report to Shareholders   31

 

Compensating Balance Credits

The Funds have an arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby a portion of the custodian’s fee is paid indirectly by credits earned on each Fund’s cash on deposit with the bank. This deposit arrangement is an alternative to purchasing overnight investments.

Credit and Market Risk

Investments in structured securities collateralized by residential real estate mortgages are subject to certain credit and liquidity risks. When market conditions result in an increase in default rates of the underlying mortgages and the foreclosure values of underlying real estate properties are materially below the outstanding amount of the respective underlying mortgages, collection of accrued interest and principal on these investments may be doubtful. Such market conditions may significantly impair the value of these investments resulting in a lack of correlation between their credit ratings and values.

Other

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent upon claims that may be made against the Funds in the future and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

2. Federal Income Taxes:

It is the Funds’ policy to comply with the federal income and excise tax requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and net realized gains, if any, to shareholders each year. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of June 30, 2009, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue.

Reclassification

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share.

3. Financial Instruments:

Options and Futures

When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received by the Fund is recorded as a liability, the value of which is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. If the option expires, the Fund realizes a gain from investments equal to the amount of the premium received. When a written call option is exercised, the difference between the premium received plus the option exercise price and the Fund’s basis in the underlying security (in the case of a covered written call option), or the cost to purchase the underlying security (in the case of an uncovered written call option), including brokerage commission, is treated as a realized gain or loss. When a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium received is subtracted from the cost of the security purchased by the Fund from the exercise of the written put option to form the Fund’s basis in the underlying security purchased. The writer or buyer of an option traded on an exchange can liquidate the position before the exercise of the option by entering into a closing transaction. The cost of a closing transaction is deducted from the original premium received resulting in a realized gain or loss to the Fund.

The risk in writing a covered call option is that the Fund may forego the opportunity of profit if the market price of the underlying security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the underlying security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund is exposed to the risk of loss if the market price of the underlying security increases. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

The Fund may use futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates or foreign currencies. A futures contract represents a commitment for the future purchase or sale of an asset at a specified price on a specified date.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit with a broker cash or cash equivalents in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the “initial margin.” Subsequent payments (“variation margin”) are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. For certain futures including foreign denominated futures variation margin is not settled daily, but is recorded as a net variation margin payable or receivable. Futures contracts are valued daily at the settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded. The daily changes in contract value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses in the Statement of Operations and the Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.

Futures contracts involve, to varying degrees, risk of loss in excess of the amounts reflected in the financial statements. In addition, there is the risk that the Fund may not be able to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market.

The open futures positions and related appreciation or depreciation at June 30, 2009 are listed at the end of each Fund’s portfolio of investments.

Each Fund has an investment management agreement with Legg Mason Fund Adviser, Inc. (“LMFA”). Pursuant to their respective agreements, LMFA provides the Funds with management and administrative services for which each Fund pays a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at annual rates of each Fund’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below. LMFA currently intends to voluntarily waive its fees to the extent Limited Duration’s expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) exceed during any month certain annual rates of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This voluntary waiver may be terminated at anytime. LMFA has voluntarily agreed to waive fees to the extent that Investment Grade’s expenses (exclusive of taxes, interest, brokerage and extraordinary expenses) exceed during any month certain annual rates. This voluntary waiver may be terminated at any time. The following chart shows annual rates of management fees, expense limits, and management fees waived, for each Fund:

Western Asset Management Company (“Adviser”) serves as investment adviser to the Funds. The Adviser is responsible for the actual investment activity of each Fund. LMFA pays the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate of 40% of the management fee received by LMFA for Investment Grade. For Limited Duration, LMFA pays the Adviser a fee, computed daily and payable monthly, of 0.20% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, not to exceed the fee received by LMFA after any fee waivers.

Legg Mason Investor Services, LLC (“LMIS”) serves as distributor of the Funds. LMIS receives an annual distribution fee and an annual service fee based on each Fund’s Primary Class’s average daily net assets, computed daily and payable monthly as shown in the table below. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, LMIS did not waive any distribution and service fees for Investment Grade and Limited Duration, respectively.

Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (“Plan”), directors may elect to defer receipt of all or a specified portion of their compensation. A participating director may select one or more funds in which his or her deferred director’s fees will be deemed to be invested. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

6. Line of Credit:

The Funds, along with certain other Legg Mason Funds, participate in a $400 million line of credit (“Credit Agreement”) to be used for temporary or emergency purposes. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each participating fund is liable only for principal and interest payments related to borrowings made by that fund. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to the prevailing federal funds rate plus the federal funds rate margin. The Funds did not utilize the line of credit during the six months ended June 30, 2009.
