Fellow Shareholders:


We are pleased to submit this Semi-Annual Report for the first six months
of 2002 and to welcome shareholders who have made their investment since our
last Report. The primary investment objective of the Fund is to provide for its
shareholders a high level of income and, secondarily, capital appreciation. The
Fund pursues its investment objectives by investing primarily in a global
portfolio of investment grade fixed income securities. At June 30, the Fund had
approximately 75% of its total assets invested in fixed income securities with
an actual or deemed investment grade rating, approximately 12% below investment
grade, approximately 9% in preferred stock with an actual or deemed investment
grade rating, 1% in below investment grade preferred stock, 2% in common stocks
and the balance in money market securities. Approximately 67% of investments
were in entities located in the United States and the balance was spread over 11
countries and-supranational organization.

Review and Outlook

While in the first six months of the year equity markets dropped, with the
Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's Index and the Nasdaq
Composite Index declining 6.91%, 13.15% and 24.98%, respectively, we are pleased
to report that the Fund's shares had a market total return on the American Stock
Exchange of 5.12% on a net asset value total return of 0.10%. As investors
withdrew from equities, fixed income markets improved, as reflected in the
return of the LB Aggregate Bond Index of 3.80%. High yield and emerging market
debt returns lagged, as shown in the performance of the CSFB High Yield index
return of 0.15% and the SSB Emerging Market Debt index return of 1.70%, and
holdings of the Fund in these areas hindered its overall performance.

Looking ahead, we believe economic conditions generally will be positive
for fixed income investing. With conflicting economic data on the recovery in
corporate earnings and capital expenditures, strength in consumer spending has
provided the biggest boost to the overall economy. In an effort to help revive
the economy, the Federal Reserve Bank and the U.S. Government appear to be
taking definite steps to stimulate growth. While inflation may increase as the
economy recovers, overall levels probably will remain low due to lower global
growth rates and excess manufacturing capacity. Even with the recent sharp
declines in the major stock indices, the current crisis of confidence arising
out of the Enron, WorldCom and other giant corporate scandals have made
investors re-evaluate the risks of equity investments, and equity valuations may
go lower to compensate, boosting the attractiveness of bonds.

Longer term, investors should take note that tax cuts and new spending
plans will likely result in a budget deficit of $175 billion this year and
potentially $200 billion next year. This reflects reduced economic activity
resulting in lower tax revenue and higher payments for economically sensitive
programs, such as unemployment compensation, health insurance and food stamps.
Given these potential conditions, the Fund's global portfolio of primarily
investment grade fixed income securities would appear to offer an attractive
alternative for investors seeking income.


Dividend Distribution Policy

The managed 10% dividend distribution policy adopted by the Fund's Board of
Directors in 1997 continues to be well received. The objective is to provide
shareholders with a relatively stable cash flow and reduce or eliminate any
market price discount to the Fund's net asset value per share. Payments are made
primarily from ordinary income and any capital gains, with the balance
representing return of capital. We continue to believe shares of the Fund are a
sound value and attractive for portfolios seeking a high level of income and,
secondarily, capital appreciation.

Purchase Shares at an Attractive Discount

The Fund's current net asset value per share is $5.16. With a recent
closing on the American Stock Exchange of $4.75 per share, we believe this
represents an important opportunity to purchase additional shares at an
attractive discount from their underlying value. The Fund's Dividend
Reinvestment Plan is a very effective way to also add to your holding because
quarterly dividend distributions are reinvested without charge at the lower of
net asset value per share or market price, which can contribute importantly to
growing your investment over time.

If you have any questions or would like further information, please call
1-800-278-4353 and an Investor Service Representative will be happy to assist
you. We appreciate your support and look forward to serving your investment
needs in the months and years ahead.

Sincerely,

/s/ Thomas B. Winmill /s/ Marion E. Morris

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) Global Income Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, is a non-diversified, closed-end
management investment company, whose shares are listed on the American Stock
Exchange. The primary objective of the Fund is a high level of income and
secondarily, capital appreciation. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment
objectives by investing primarily in foreign and domestic fixed income
securities. The Fund is subject to the risk of price fluctuations of the
securities held in its portfolio which is generally a function of the
underlying credit ratings of an issuer, the duration and yield of its
securities, and general economic and interest rate conditions. The following is
a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund
in the preparation of its financial statements. With respect to security
valuation, securities traded on a national securities exchange or the Nasdaq
National Market System ("NMS") are valued at the last reported sales price on
the day the valuations are made. Such securities that are not traded on a
particular day and securities traded in the over-the-counter market that are
not on NMS are valued at the mean between the current bid and asked prices.
Certain of the securities in which the Fund invests are priced through pricing
services which may utilize a matrix pricing system which takes into
consideration factors such as yields, prices, maturities, call features and
ratings on comparable securities. Bonds may be valued according to prices
quoted by a dealer in bonds which offers pricing services. Debt obligations
with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at cost adjusted for
amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Securities of foreign
issuers denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at
prevailing exchange rates. Forward contracts are marked to market and the
change in market value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss.
When a contract is closed, 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 at the time it was closed. The Fund could be exposed to risk if the
counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of
the currency changes unfavorably. Investment transactions are accounted for on
the trade date (the date the order to buy or sell is executed). Interest income
is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities
purchased are amortized over the life of the respective securities. Dividends
and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. In
preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

(2) The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its taxable investment income and net capital gains, if
any, after utilization of any capital loss carryforward, to its shareholders
and therefore no Federal income tax provision is required. At December 31,
2001, the Fund had an unused capital loss carryforward of approximately
$6,992,000 of which $1,420,000 expires in 2004, $214,000 in 2006, $3,977,000 in
2007, and $1,381,000 in 2008. Based on Federal income tax cost of $28,409,606,
gross unrealized appreciation and gross unrealized depreciation were $468,535
and $734,262, respectively, at December 31, 2001. Distributions paid to
shareholders during the year ended December 31, 2001 differ from net investment
income and net gains (losses) from security, foreign currency, and futures
transactions as determined for financial reporting purposes. These
distributions are shown under "Distributions to Shareholders" in the Statements
of Changes in Net Assets.

(3) The Fund retains CEF Advisers, Inc. as its Investment Manager. Under the
terms of the Investment Management Agreement, the Investment Manager receives a
management fee, payable monthly, based on the average weekly net assets of the
Fund at the annual rate of 7/10 of 1% of the first $250 million, 5/8 of 1% from
$250 million to $500 million, and 1/2 of 1% over $500 million. This fee is
calculated by determining the average of net assets on each Friday of a month
and applying the applicable rate to such average for the number of days in the
month. Certain officers and directors of the Fund are officers and directors of
the Investment Manager. The Fund reimbursed the Investment Manager $16,927 for
providing certain administrative and accounting services at cost for the six
months ended June 30, 2002.

GLOBAL INCOME FUND, INC.

(4) The Fund has an arrangement with its custodian and transfer agent whereby
interest earned on uninvested cash balances was used to offset a portion of the
Fund's expenses. Purchases and sales of securities other than short term notes
aggregated $20,245,651 and $16,929,871, respectively, for the six months ended
June 30, 2002. A forward currency contract is an obligation to purchase or sell
a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund could be
exposed to risk if counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms
of their contracts. The Fund had no forward currency contracts outstanding at
June 30, 2002.

(5) The Fund may borrow through a committed bank line of credit. At June 30,
2002, there was no balance outstanding and the interest rate was equal to the
Federal Reserve Rate plus 1.00 percentage point. For the six months ended June
30, 2002, the weighted average interest rate was 2.56% based on the balances
outstanding during the period and the weighted average amount outstanding was
$93,113.

(6) The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders for the six months
ended June 30, 2002 and the year ended December 31, 2001 was as follows:

2001 2001
---- ----
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income $ 1,394,636 $ 1,939,108
Return of capital - 1,050,851
----------- -----------
$ 1,394,636 $ 2,989,959
=========== ===========

A reclassification of ordinary income and return of capital is likely to occur
for the year ended December 31, 2002, although the exact amount is not estimated
at June 30, 2002.

DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Fund has adopted a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"). Under the Plan,
each dividend and capital gain distribution, if any, declared by the Fund on
outstanding shares will, unless elected otherwise by each shareholder by
notifying the Fund in writing at any time prior to the record date for a
particular dividend or distribution, be paid on the payment date fixed by the
Board of Directors or a committee thereof in additional shares. If the Market
Price (as defined below) per share is equal to or exceeds the net asset value
per share at the time shares are valued for the purpose of determining the
number of shares equivalent to the cash dividend or capital gain distribution
(the "Valuation Date"), participants will be issued additional shares equal to
the amount of such dividend divided by the Fund's net asset value per share. If
the Market Price per share is less than such net asset value on the Valuation
Date, participants will be issued additional shares equal to the amount of such
dividend divided by the Market Price. The Valuation Date is the day before the
dividend or distribution payment date or, if that day is not an American Stock
Exchange trading day, the next trading day. For all purposes of the Plan: (a)
the Market Price of the shares on a particular date shall be the average closing
market price on the five trading days the shares traded ex-dividend on the
Exchange prior to such date or, if no sale occurred on any of these days, then
the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations for the shares on the
Exchange on such day, and (b) net asset value per share on a particular date
shall be as determined by or on behalf of the Fund.
