144A   Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are considered liquid and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At July 31, 2006 the value of these securities amounted to $61,495,463 or 19.56% of net assets.
#   Global High Income Dollar Fund, Inc. (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 reported last sale prices, 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. Securities traded in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market and listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“NASDAQ”) normally are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. Other OTC securities are valued at the last bid price available prior to valuation. Securities which are listed on US and foreign stock exchanges normally are valued at the last sale price on the day the securities are valued or, lacking any sales on such day, at the last available bid price. In cases where securities are traded on more than one exchange, the securities are valued on the exchange designated as the primary market by UBS Global Asset Management (Americas) Inc. (“UBS Global AM”), the 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. 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 Fund’s board of directors (the “Board”).
Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the securities; and the evaluation of forces which influence the market in which the securities are purchased and sold. All investments quoted in foreign currencies will be valued weekly in US Dollars on the basis of the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the value of the foreign investments and such exchange rates occurred between the time at which they are determined and the close of the NYSE, which will not be reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities or currency exchange rates occurred during such time periods, the securities were valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. 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, unless the Board determines that this does not represent fair value.
Prior to November 1, 2005, foreign currency exchange rates were generally determined prior to the close of the NYSE. Occasionally, events affecting the value of foreign investments and such exchange rates occurred between the time at which they were determined and the close of the NYSE, which would not have been reflected in the computation of the Fund’s net asset value. If events materially affecting the value of such securities or currency exchange rates occurred during such time periods, the securities were valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board. Effective November 1, 2005, the Fund began using the foreign currency exchange rates determined as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE.

2) Swap agreements

Total return swaps
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. To the extent the total return of the security or index underlying the transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty, respectively. Total return swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Periodic payments received or made at the end of each measurement period, but prior to termination, are recorded as realized gains or losses.

At July 31, 2006, the Fund had outstanding total return swap contracts with the following terms:

Credit default swaps
Credit default swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest and principal in the event of a default of a security. As a buyer, the Fund makes periodic payments to the counterparty and the Fund would receive payments only upon the occurrence of a credit event. Credit default swaps are marked-to-market daily, and the change, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Periodic payments received or made at the end of each measurement period, but prior to termination, are recorded as realized gains or losses. If no credit event occurs, the Fund will lose its periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract. However, if a credit event occurs, the Fund typically receives full notional value for a reference obligation that may have little or no value. Credit default swaps may involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly. Credit default swaps are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

At July 31, 2006, the Fund had an outstanding credit default swap contract with the following terms:
