Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
We present the annual report for Investment
Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc. (the Fund) for the period ended
April 30, 2010.
Fund liquidation
On February 23,
2010, the holders of the Funds common stock and auction preferred stock
approved a proposal to liquidate and dissolve the Fund pursuant to a Plan of
Liquidation. All of the auction preferred stock was redeemed in April, and the
holders of common stock were paid a liquidating distribution on or about May 10,
2010. The Fund was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and is in the process
of winding up its affairs.
In connection with the liquidation of the
Fund, the Fund changed its tax and accounting (book) fiscal year end from September
30 to April 30 to facilitate the satisfaction of certain tax law requirements
beneficial to shareholders. This report covers the seven month period from the
end of the Funds last fiscal year (September 30, 2009) through April 30,
2010.

the current net asset value on the first day of each period reported and a sale
at the current net asset value on the last day of each period reported, and assuming
reinvestment of dividends and other distributions at the net asset value on the
payable date. Total investment return based on net asset value has not been annualized
for the period of less than one year and is hypothetical as investors can not purchase
or sell Fund shares at net asset value but only at market prices. Returns do not
reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder could pay on Fund dividends and
other distributions, if any, or the sale of Fund shares.

Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
Organization and significant accounting policies
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc. (the Fund) was
incorporated in Maryland on August 6, 1992, and is registered with the Securities
and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as a closed-end diversified management investment company.
On February 23, 2010, the holders of the
Funds common stock and auction preferred stock approved a proposal to liquidate
and dissolve the Fund pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation. All of the auction preferred
stock was redeemed in April, and the holders of common stock were paid a liquidating
distribution on or about May 10, 2010. The Fund was delisted from the New York
Stock Exchange and is in the process of winding up its affairs.
In connection with the liquidation of the
Fund, the Fund changed its tax and accounting (book) fiscal year end from September 30
to April 30 to facilitate the satisfaction of certain tax law requirements beneficial
to shareholders.
In the normal course of business the Fund
may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations or that provide
indemnification for certain liabilities. The Funds maximum exposure under
these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be
made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund has not had
prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss
to be remote.
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification
TM
(Codification) as the single source of authoritative
accounting principles recognized by the FASB in the preparation of financial
statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). The Codification supersedes existing and nongrandfathered, non-SEC accounting
and reporting standards. The Codification did not change GAAP but rather
organized it into a hierarchy where all guidance within the Codification carries
an equal level of authority. The Codification became effective on July 1, 2009.
The Codification did not have a material effect on the Funds financial
statements.
The preparation of financial statements
in accordance with GAAP requires the Funds management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Actual
15
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
results could differ from those estimates.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies:
Valuation of investments
The
Fund calculates its net asset value based on the current market value, where available,
for its portfolio securities. The Fund normally obtains market values for its securities
from independent pricing sources and broker-dealers. Independent pricing sources
may use last reported sale prices, official market closing price, current market
quotations or valuations from computerized matrix systems that derive
values based on comparable securities. A matrix system incorporates parameters such
as security quality, maturity and coupon, and/or research and evaluations by its
staff, including review of broker-dealer market price quotations, if available,
in determining the valuation of the portfolio securities. If a market value is not
available from an independent pricing source for a particular security, that security
is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of
the Funds Board of Directors (the Board). Various factors may
be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a securitys fair
value. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the
security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant
financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related
securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions;
and changes in overall market conditions. If events occur that materially affect
the value of securities between the close of trading in those securities and the
close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities are fair
valued. The amortized cost method of valuation, which approximates market value,
generally is used to value short-term debt instruments with sixty days or less remaining
to maturity. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market
are valued at the last bid price available on the valuation date prior to valuation.
GAAP requires disclosure surrounding the
various inputs that are used in determining the value of the Funds investments.
These inputs are summarized into the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1Unadjusted quoted prices in
active markets for identical investments.
Level 2Other significant observable
inputs, including but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest
rates, prepayment speeds and credit risks.
Level 3Unobservable inputs inclusive
of the Funds own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.
16
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
In accordance with the requirements of GAAP,
a fair value hierarchy has been included near the end of the Funds Portfolio
of investments.
In January 2010, FASB issued Accounting
Standards Update (ASU) No. 2010-06 Improving Disclosures about
Fair Value Measurements. ASU No. 2010-06 will require reporting entities to
make new disclosures about amounts and reasons for significant transfers in and
out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements as well as inputs and valuation
techniques used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value
measurements that fall in either Level 2 or Level 3, and information on purchases,
sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of activity
in Level 3 fair value measurements. The new and revised disclosures are required
to be implemented for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009 except for the
disclosures surrounding purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis
in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.
Repurchase agreements
The Fund
may purchase securities or other obligations from a bank or securities dealer (or
its affiliate), subject to the sellers agreement to repurchase them at an
agreed upon date (or upon demand) and price. The Fund maintains custody of the underlying
obligations prior to their repurchase, either through its regular custodian or through
a special tri-party custodian or sub-custodian that maintains a separate
account for both the Fund and its counterparty. The underlying collateral is valued
daily to ensure that the value, including accrued interest, is at least equal to
the repurchase price. In the event of default of the obligation to repurchase, the
Fund generally has the right to liquidate the collateral and apply the proceeds
in satisfaction of the obligation. Repurchase agreements involving obligations other
than US government securities (such as commercial paper, corporate bonds and mortgage
loans) may be subject to special risks and may not have the benefit of certain protections
in the event of counterparty insolvency. If the seller (or sellers guarantor,
if any) becomes insolvent, the Fund may suffer delays, costs and possible losses
in connection with the disposition or retention of the collateral. Under certain
circumstances, in the event of default or bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement,
realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
The Fund may participate in joint repurchase agreement transactions with other funds
managed, advised or sub-advised by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (UBS Global AM).

Notes to financial statements
Floating-rate notes issued in conjunction
with securities heldTender option bond program
The Fund may sell a
fixed-rate bond (Fixed-Rate Bond) to a broker who deposits the Fixed-Rate
Bond into a special-purpose entity from which are issued floating-rate notes (Floating-Rate
Notes) that are sold to third parties. The Floating-Rate Notes have interest
rates that reset weekly and the holders of the Floating-Rate Notes have the option
to tender their notes to the broker at par at each reset date. A residual certificate
(an Inverse Floater), which pays interest based on the difference between
the Fixed-Rate Bond and the Floating-Rate Notes (after certain costs are taken into
account), is also issued by the special-purpose entity. The Inverse Floater also
gives the holder the right to cause the Floating-Rate Note to be called at par and
to require transfer of the Fixed-Rate Bond to the holder of the Inverse Floater,
thereby liquidating the special-purpose entity. In certain transactions, the Fund
ultimately receives the Inverse Floater plus the cash equivalent of the proceeds
raised from the issuance of the Floating-Rate Notes in exchange for the Fixed-Rate
Bonds, less fees and expenses.
Although the Fund physically holds the Inverse
Floater, the transaction is accounted for as a secured borrowing pursuant to GAAP
because of its unilateral right to cause the liquidation of the special-purpose
entity and recover the Fixed-Rate Bond it originally sold to the broker. In accordance
with GAAP, the Fund includes the Fixed-Rate Bond on the Portfolio of investments
and recognizes the Floating-Rate Notes as a liability on the Statement of assets
and liabilities.
The Fund maintained a tender option bond
program until March, 2010, when such program was terminated. The range of rates
on the liability for Floating Rate notes was 0.140% to 0.320%, at a weighted average
rate of 0.218% for the period ended April 30, 2010.
Investment transactions and investment
income
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized
gains and losses from investment transactions are calculated using the identified
cost method. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted
and premiums are amortized as adjustments to interest income and the identified
cost of investments.
Futures contracts
The Fund may
purchase and sell municipal bond index futures and other interest rate futures.
The Fund may use futures as a substitute for taking a position in an underlying
security or other asset
18
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
and/or as part of a strategy designed to
reduce exposure to other risks, such as interest rate risk. The Fund also may use
futures to add leverage to the portfolio and/or to hedge against increases in the
Funds costs associated with the dividend payments on the preferred stock.
Futures strategies also can be used to manage the average duration of the Funds
portfolio. If UBS Global AM wishes to shorten the average duration of the Fund,
the Fund may sell a futures contract. If UBS Global AM wishes to lengthen the average
duration of the Fund, the Fund may buy a futures contract.
Upon entering into a financial futures contract,
the Fund is required to deliver to a broker an amount of cash and/or securities
equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount. This amount is known as the
initial margin. Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuations
in the value of the underlying financial futures contracts. Such variation margin
is recorded for financial statement purposes on a daily basis as unrealized gain
or loss until the financial futures contract is closed, at which time the net gain
or loss is reclassified to realized gain or loss on futures. Variation margin calls
could be substantial in the event of adverse price movements.
Using financial futures contracts involves
various market risks. If the Fund was unable to liquidate a futures position due
to the absence of a liquid secondary market or the imposition of price limits, it
could incur substantial losses and would continue to be subject to market risk with
respect to the position. In addition, the Fund would continue to be required to
make variation margin payments and might be required to maintain the position being
hedged or to maintain cash or securities in a separate account. Furthermore, certain
characteristics of the futures market might increase the risk that movements in
the prices of the financial futures contracts might not correlate perfectly with
movements in the prices of the investments being hedged, including temporary price
distortion. The separate account for margin will be maintained at the futures counterparty
and may be subject to risks or delays if the counterparty becomes insolvent. At
April 30, 2010, the Fund had no futures contracts outstanding.
Dividends and distributions
The
Fund intended to pay monthly dividends to common shareholders at a rate level that
over time would result in the distribution of substantially all of the Funds
net investment
19
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
income remaining after the payment of dividends
on any outstanding auction preferred shares. The dividend rate on the common stock
is adjusted as necessary to reflect the earnings rate of the Fund. Dividends and
distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends
to auction preferred shareholders are accrued daily. The amount of dividends from
net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is determined
in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These
book/tax differences are either considered temporary or permanent in
nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment;
temporary differences do not require reclassification.
Concentration of risk
The Fund
followed an investment policy of investing primarily in municipal obligations of
various states. Economic changes affecting those states and certain of their public
bodies and municipalities may affect the ability of the issuers within those states
to pay interest on, or repay principal of, municipal obligations held by the Fund.
Investment advisor and administrator
The Board has approved an Investment Advisory and Administration Contract (Advisory
Contract), under which UBS Global AM serves as investment advisor and administrator
of the Fund. UBS Global AM is an indirect wholly owned asset management subsidiary
of UBS AG, an internationally diversified organization with headquarters in Zurich
and Basel, Switzerland and operations in many areas of the financial services industry.
In accordance with the Advisory Contract, the Fund is obligated to pay UBS Global
AM an investment advisory and administration fee, which is accrued weekly and paid
monthly, at an annual rate of 0.90% of the Funds average weekly net assets
attributable to holders of common and auction preferred shares (APS).
UBS Global AM has agreed to waive a portion of the advisory and administration fee
so that the Funds effective fee is 0.60% of average weekly net assets attributable
only to holders of common shares. Effective beginning April 21, 2010, UBS Global
AM waived its entire advisory and administration fee. At April 30, 2010, the Fund
owed UBS Global AM $49,770 for investment advisory and administration fees, which
is composed of $149,062 of investment advisory and administration fees less fees
waived of $99,292. For the period October 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, UBS Global
AM waived $684,639 of investment advisory and administration fees from the Fund.
20

Notes to financial statements
Additional information regarding compensation
to affiliate of a board member
Professor Meyer Feldberg serves as a senior
advisor to Morgan Stanley, resulting in him being an interested director of the
Fund. The Fund has been informed that Professor Feldbergs role at Morgan Stanley
does not involve matters directly affecting any UBS funds. Fund transactions are
executed through Morgan Stanley based on that firms ability to provide best
execution of the transactions. During the period October 1, 2009 through April 30,
2010, the Fund purchased and sold certain securities (e.g., fixed income securities)
in principal trades with Morgan Stanley having an aggregate value of $57,641,325.
Morgan Stanley received compensation in connection with these trades, which may
have been in the form of a mark-up or mark-down of the price
of the securities, a fee from the issuer for maintaining a commercial paper program,
or some other form of compensation. Although the precise amount of this compensation
is not generally known by UBS Global AM, UBS Global AM believes that under normal
circumstances it represents a small portion of the total value of the transactions.
In addition, Morgan Stanley participated as a broker-dealer in auctions for the
Funds Auction Preferred Shares and received compensation. Amounts received
by Morgan Stanley varied depending upon that firms participation in an auction,
and such amounts were calculated and paid by the auction agent from money provided
by the Fund.
Auction preferred shares related services
fees
UBS Financial Services Inc., an affiliate of UBS Global AM, provided
certain services to the Fund and the holders of the outstanding APS pursuant to
an agreement with Deutsche Bank, the Funds auction agent for APS. For the
period October 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, UBS Financial Services Inc. received
from Deutsche Bank $23,101 (paid indirectly by the Fund) for these services.
Restricted securities
The Fund
may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on
resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration
or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities
may involve time-consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable
price may be difficult. Information regarding restricted securities is included
at the end of the Funds Portfolio of investments.
21
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
Auction preferred shares
During
the period October 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, the Fund had outstanding shares
of auction preferred Series A, Series B, and Series C, which are referred to herein
collectively as the APS. All shares of each series of APS had a liquidation
preference of $50,000 per share plus an amount equal to accumulated but unpaid dividends
upon liquidation. All such APS shares were redeemed in April 2010. At April 30, 2010,
the Fund had no APS outstanding.
The APS were entitled to one vote per share
and, unless otherwise required by law, voted with the holders of common stock as
a single class, except that the APS voted separately as a class on certain matters,
as required by law. The holders of APS had the right to elect two directors of the
Fund.
Dividends, which were cumulative, were generally
reset every 7 days for each Series of APS. Dividend rates for each Series of APS
reflect the maximum rates under the governing instruments as a result
of failed auctions in which sufficient clearing bids were not received.
For the period October 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, the average dividend rates
for each Series of APS were 0.384%, 0.382%, and 0.379% for Series A, B and C, respectively.
On March 16, 2010, the Fund announced the
timing of the redemption in full of all of its outstanding APS in connection with
the liquidation of the Fund pursuant to a Plan of Liquidation approved by stockholders
on February 23, 2010. The Fund redeemed in full all of its outstanding APS and paid
APS holders their liquidation preference of $50,000 per share (plus accumulated
but unpaid dividends up to and including the date of redemption) based on the following
schedule:

The Fund was subject to certain restrictions
relating to the APS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could have precluded
the Fund from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing
common shares and/or could have triggered the mandatory redemption of APS at liquidation
value.
22
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
Notes to financial statements
The redemption of the Funds APS was
deemed to be outside of the control of the Fund because it was redeemable among
other circumstances, upon the occurrence of an event such as described above that
was not solely within the control of the Fund.
Purchases and sales of securities
For the period October 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010, aggregate purchases and
sales of portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities and US Government
securities, were $119,432,144 and $292,808,732, respectively.
For the period October 1, 2009 through April
30, 2010, aggregate purchases and sales of US Government securities, excluding short-term
securities, were $84,525,246 and $38,314,047, respectively.
Federal tax status
The Fund intends
to distribute substantially all of its tax-exempt income and any taxable income
and to comply with the other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable
to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for federal income
taxes is required. In addition, by distributing during each calendar year substantially
all of its net investment income, net realized capital gains and certain other amounts,
if any, the Fund intends not to be subject to a federal excise tax.
The tax character of distributions paid
during the period ended April 30, 2010 and the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009

Notes to financial statements
At April 30, 2010, the Fund had a net capital
loss carryforward of $1,575,884. This loss carryforward is available as a reduction
to the extent provided in the regulations, of any future net capital gains and will
expire as follows: $775,717 in 2017 and $800,167 in 2018. Due to the liquidation of the Fund in May 2010, the Fund will
not benefit from such losses.
As of and during the period ended April
30, 2010, the Fund did not have any liabilities for any unrecognized tax positions.
The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax
positions as income tax expense in the Statement of operations. During the period
ended April 30, 2010, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
Each of the tax years in the three year
period ended September 30, 2009 and the seven month period ended April 30, 2010,
remains subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state taxing
authorities.
Subsequent events
Management has
evaluated the effect of subsequent events on the Funds financial statements
through the date of issuance of the Funds financial statements. Management
has determined that there were no material subsequent events that would require
disclosure in or adjustment to the Funds financial statements other than the
following: (1) liquidation of the Fund by means of the redemption of all APS in
April 2010 and payment of a liquidating distribution to all common shareholders
in May 2010; (2) a change in the Funds fiscal year end from September 30th
to April 30th to facilitate the Funds liquidation; (3) the ceasing of trading
of the Funds common stock on the New York Stock Exchange; and (4) the Funds filing of a termination of registration of its common stock with the US Securities
and Exchange Commission.

Report of Ernst &Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm
The Board of Directors
Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc.
We have audited the accompanying statement
of assets and liabilities of Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc. (the Fund), including the portfolio of investments, as of April 30, 2010, and the related
statements of operations and changes in net assets applicable to common shareholders
and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial
statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial
highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free
of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of
internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining,
on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of April
30, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and others. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As described in the notes to the financial
statements, the holders of the Funds common stock and auction preferred stock
approved a proposal to liquidate and dissolve the Fund. As a result, the Fund changed
its basis of accounting from a going concern basis to a liquidation basis.
In our opinion, the financial statements
and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Investment Grade Municipal Income Fund Inc. at April 30,
2010, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets applicable
to common shareholders and the financial highlights for each of the indicated periods,
in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles.

nominee, would have all dividends and other
distributions on their shares of common stock automatically reinvested in additional
shares of common stock, unless such common shareholders elected to receive cash.
Common shareholders who elected to hold their shares in the name of another broker
or nominee should have contacted such broker or nominee to determine whether, or
how, they may have participated in the Plan. Given that there are no shares remaining
outstanding as of May 10, 2010, it is no longer possible to participate in the Plan.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The registrants Audit Committee (audit committee) has adopted an Audit Committee
Charter (Amended and Restated as of May 12, 2004 - with revisions through August
2009) (the charter). The charter contains the audit committees pre-approval policies
and procedures. Reproduced below is an excerpt from the charter regarding pre-approval
policies and procedures:
|
|
The [audit] Committee shall:
. . .
|
|
|
|
|
2.
|
Pre-approve (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services
1
to be provided
to the Fund and (b) all permissible non-audit services to be provided by the
Funds independent auditors to UBS Global [Asset Management (Americas)
Inc. (UBS Global AM)] and any Covered Service Providers, if the
engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the
Fund. In carrying out this responsibility, the Committee shall seek
periodically from UBS Global [AM] and from the independent auditors a list
of such audit and permissible non-audit services that can be expected to be
rendered to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] or any Covered Service Providers
by the Funds independent auditors, and an estimate of the fees sought to be
paid in connection with such services. The Committee may delegate its
responsibility to pre-approve any such audit and permissible non-audit
services to a sub-committee consisting of the Chairperson of the Committee
|
|
|
and two other members of the Committee as the Chairperson, from time to
time, may determine and appoint, and such sub-committee shall report to the
Committee, at its next regularly scheduled meeting after the sub-committees
meeting, its decision(s). From year to year, the Committee shall report to the
Board whether this system of pre-approval has been effective and efficient or
whether this Charter should be amended to allow for pre-approval pursuant
to such policies and procedures as the Committee shall approve, including
the delegation of some or all of the Committees pre-approval responsibilities
to other persons (other than UBS Global [AM] or the Funds officers).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1
The Committee will not approve non-audit services that the Committee
believes may taint the independence of the auditors. Currently,
permissible non-audit services include any professional services
(including tax services) that are not prohibited services as described
below, provided to the Fund by the independent auditors, other than
those provided to the Fund in connection with an audit or a review of the
financial statements of the Fund. Permissible non-audit services may
not
include: (i) bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting
records or financial statements of the Fund; (ii) financial information
systems design and implementation; (iii) appraisal or valuation services,
fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports; (iv) actuarial services;
(v) internal audit outsourcing services; (vi) management functions or
human resources; (vii) broker or dealer, investment adviser or investment
banking services; (viii) legal services and expert services unrelated to the
audit; and (ix) any other service the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board determines, by regulation, is impermissible.
Pre-approval by the Committee of any permissible non-audit services is
not required so long as: (i) the aggregate amount of all such permissible
non-audit services provided to the Fund, UBS Global [AM] and any
service providers controlling, controlled by or under common control
with UBS Global [AM] that provide ongoing services to the Fund
(Covered Service Providers) constitutes not more than 5% of the total
amount of revenues paid to the independent auditors (during the fiscal
year in which the permissible non-audit services are provided) by (a) the
Fund, (b) its investment adviser and (c) any entity controlling, controlled
by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides
ongoing services to the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services
are provided that would have to be approved by the Committee; (ii) the
permissible non-audit services were not recognized by the Fund at the
time of the engagement to be non-audit services; and (iii) such services
are promptly brought to the attention of the Committee and approved by
the Committee (or its delegate(s)) prior to the completion of the audit.

The registrants audit committee was not required to consider whether the provision of non-audit
services that were rendered to the registrants investment adviser (not including any
sub-adviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is subcontracted with or
overseen by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant
that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is
compatible with maintaining the principal accountants independence.

Item 5. Audit Committee of Listed Registrants.

Garil and Ms. Higgins.
Item 6. Investments.
(a) Included as part of the report to shareholders filed under Item 1 of this form.
(b) Not applicable.
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management
Investment Companies.
The registrants Board of Directors believes that the voting of proxies on securities held by the registrant
is an important element of the overall investment process. As such, the Board has delegated the
responsibility to vote such proxies to the registrants advisor. Following is a summary of the proxy
voting policy of the advisor.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PHILOSOPHY, VOTING GUIDELINES AND POLICY SUMMARY
The proxy voting policy of UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (UBS Global AM) is based
on its belief that voting rights have economic value and must be treated accordingly. Generally, UBS
Global AM expects the boards of directors of companies issuing securities held by its clients to act as
stewards of the financial assets of the company, to exercise good judgment and practice diligent oversight
with the management of the company. While there is no absolute set of rules that determines appropriate
corporate governance under all circumstances and no set of rules will guarantee ethical behavior, there are
certain benchmarks, which, if substantial progress is made toward, give evidence of good corporate
governance. UBS Global AM may delegate to an independent proxy voting and research service the
authority to exercise the voting rights associated with certain client holdings. Any such delegation shall
be made with the direction that the votes be exercised in accordance with UBS Global AMs proxy voting
policy.
When UBS Global AMs view of a companys management is favorable, UBS Global AM generally
supports current management initiatives. When UBS Global AMs view is that changes to the
management structure would probably increase shareholder value, UBS Global AM may not support
existing management proposals. In general, UBS Global AM (1) opposes proposals which act to entrench
management; (2) believes that boards should be independent of company management and composed of
persons with requisite skills, knowledge and experience; (3) opposes structures which impose financial
constraints on changes in control; (4) believes remuneration should be commensurate with responsibilities
and performance; and (5) believes that appropriate steps should be taken to ensure the independence of
auditors.
UBS Global AM has implemented procedures designed to identify whether it has a conflict of interest in
voting a particular proxy proposal, which may arise as a result of its or its affiliates client relationships,
marketing efforts or banking and broker/dealer activities. To address such conflicts, UBS Global AM has
imposed information barriers between it and its affiliates who conduct banking, investment banking and
broker/dealer activities and has implemented procedures to prevent business, sales and marketing issues
from influencing proxy votes. Whenever UBS Global AM is aware of a conflict with respect to a
particular proxy, its appropriate local corporate governance committee is required to review and agree to
the manner in which such proxy is voted.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The management of the Registrant and other accounts by a portfolio manager could result
in potential conflicts of interest if the Registrant and other accounts have different objectives,
benchmarks and fees because the portfolio manager and the team of which he is a member must
allocate time and investment expertise across multiple accounts, including the Registrant. The
portfolio manager and the team of which he is a member manage the Registrant and other
accounts utilizing an approach that groups similar accounts by characteristics and objectives.
UBS Global AM manages accounts according to their respective objectives, including where
possible, those accounts that have specific investment restrictions. Accordingly, portfolio
holdings, position sizes, and industry and sector exposures tend to be similar across accounts,
which may minimize the potential for conflicts of interest.
If a portfolio manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for
more than one account, the Registrant may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity
due to an allocation of filled purchase or sale orders across all eligible portfolios and accounts. To
deal with these situations, UBS Global AM has adopted procedures for allocating portfolio trades
across multiple accounts to provide fair treatment to all accounts.
The management of personal accounts by a portfolio manager may also give rise to
potential conflicts of interest. UBS Global AM and the Registrant have adopted a Code of Ethics
that governs such personal trading, but there is no assurance that the Code will adequately address
all such conflicts.

April 30, 2010.)

(3) Compensation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UBS Global Asset Managements compensation and benefits programs are designed to
provide its investment professionals with incentives to excel, and to promote an entrepreneurial,
performance-oriented culture. They also align the interests of investment professionals with
those of clients.
The total compensation received by the portfolio managers and analysts at UBS Global
Asset Management, including the Registrants portfolio manager, has up to three basic
components a fixed component (base salary and benefits), a variable cash component and, over
a certain total compensation threshold, a variable deferred component. These are described in
more detail below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The fixed component (base salary and benefits) is set to be competitive in the industry
and is monitored and adjusted periodically with reference to the relevant local labor
market in order to remain so. The fixed component is used to recognize the experience,
skills and knowledge that portfolio managers and analysts bring to their roles.
|
|
|
|
Variable compensation is determined annually on a discretionary basis. It is correlated
with the individuals financial and non-financial contribution and with the performance
of their respective function, UBS Global Asset Management and UBS as a whole. As its
name implies, variable compensation can be variable and is delivered in cash and, over a
certain total compensation threshold, deferred.
|
|
|
|
Variable deferred employees may have a portion of their variable compensation
deferred. The main deferral plan is the UBS Global Asset Management Equity
Ownership Plan (Global AM EOP) which vests over a three year period. Through the
Global AM EOP, investments are made in some combination of vehicles aligned to
selected UBS Global Asset Management funds, UBS shares or notional shares.
|
|
|
|
UBS Global Asset Management believes that, not only does this deferral plan reinforce the
critical importance of creating long-term business value, it also serves as an effective
retention tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
UBS Global Asset Management strongly believes that tying portfolio managers variable
compensation to both the short-term and longer-term performance of their portfolios closely
aligns the portfolio managers interests with those of the firms clients. The total variable
compensation available generally will depend on the firms overall profitability.
The allocation of the variable compensation pool to the portfolio manager is linked to the
investment performance of the Registrant relative to its benchmark, the Barclays Capital
Municipal Bond Index and, where appropriate peer strategies, over one and three years.
For analysts, variable compensation is, in general, based on the performance of some
combination of model and/or client portfolios, generally evaluated over one and three years and
coupled with a qualitative assessment of their contribution.

Item 9. Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and
Affiliated Purchasers.
There were no purchases made by or on behalf of the Registrant or any affiliated purchaser, as defined
in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of shares of the
Registrants equity securities that are registered by the Registrant pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange
Act made in the period covered by this report; however, it should be noted that the Registrant paid a
liquidating distribution to all common shareholders in May 2010 extinguishing such shares. The payment
was made pursuant to a shareholder approved Plan of Liquidation.
Item 10. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
The registrants Board has established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders
if a vacancy occurs among those board members who are not interested persons as defined in Section
2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. In order to recommend a nominee, a
shareholder should send a letter to the chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, Richard R. Burt, care of the Secretary of the registrant at UBS Global Asset Management,
UBS Building, One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606, Attn: Mark Kemper, Secretary, and indicate
on the envelope Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The shareholders letter should
state the nominees name and should include the nominees resume or curriculum vitae, and must be
accompanied by a written consent of the individual to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to
serve if elected by shareholders. Given that the Registrant is in the process of winding up its affairs, and
has no shares outstanding as of the date of this filing, future shareholder meetings are not anticipated.
