Explanation of FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a shareholder in the fund, you receive shareholder reports semiannually. We strive to present this financial information in an easy-to-understand format; however, for many investors, the information contained in this shareholder report may seem very technical. So, we would like to take this opportunity to explain several sections of the shareholder report.

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities lists the assets and liabilities of the fund on the last day of the reporting period and presents the fund's net asset value ("NAV") and market price per share. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund's net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. The market price is the closing price on the exchange on which the fund's shares trade. This price, which may be higher or lower than the fund's NAV, is the price an investor pays or receives when shares of the fund are purchased or sold. The investments, as presented in the Schedule of Investments, comprise substantially all of the fund's assets. Other assets include cash and receivables for items such as income earned by the fund but not yet received. Liabilities include payables for items such as fund expenses incurred but not yet pa id.

The Statement of Operations details the dividends and interest income earned from investments as well as the expenses incurred by the fund during the reporting period. Fund expenses may be reduced through fee waivers or reimbursements. This statement reflects total expenses before any waivers or reimbursements, the amount of waivers and reimbursements (if any), and the net expenses. This statement also shows the net realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments owned during the period. The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional details on investment income and expenses of the fund.

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets describes how the fund's net assets were affected by its operating results and distributions to shareholders during the reporting period. This statement is important to investors because it shows exactly what caused the fund's net asset size to change during the period.

The Statement of Cash Flows is required when a fund has a substantial amount of illiquid investments, a substantial amount of the fund's securities are internally valued, or the fund carries some amount of debt. When presented, this statement explains the change in cash during the reporting period. It reconciles net cash provided by and used for operating activities to the net increase or decrease in net assets from operations and classifies cash receipts and payments as resulting from operating, investing, and financing activities.

The Notes to Financial Statements disclose the organizational background of the fund, its significant accounting policies, federal tax information, fees and compensation paid to affiliates, and significant risks and contingencies. Included within the notes to financial statements is the Financial Highlights. This table provides a per-share breakdown of the components that affected the fund's NAV for the current and past reporting periods. It also shows total return, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover rates. The net investment income ratios summarize the income earned less expenses, divided by the average net assets. The expense ratios represent the percentage of average net assets that were used to cover operating expenses during the period. The portfolio turnover rate represents the percentage of the fund's holdings that have changed over the course of the period, and gives an idea of how long the fund holds onto a particular security. A 100% turnover rate implies that an amount equal to the value of the entire portfolio is turned over in a year through the purchase or sale of securities.

The Schedule of Investments details all of the securities held in the fund and their related dollar values on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are usually presented by type (bonds, common stock, etc.) and by industry classification (healthcare, education, etc.). This information is useful for analyzing how your fund's assets are invested and seeing where your portfolio manager believes the best opportunities exist to meet your objectives. Holdings are subject to change without notice and do not constitute a recommendation of any individual security. The Notes to Financial Statements provide additional details on how the securities are valued.

We hope this guide to your shareholder report will help you get the most out of this important resource.

Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited as to February 29, 2008)

(1) Organization
  American Income Fund, Inc. (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The fund invests in fixed-income securities, primarily in mortgage-backed securities. The fund also invests in other debt securities, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and asset-backed securities, high-yield bonds, corporate bonds, and preferred stock. The fund will invest at least 65% of its total assets in investment-grade securities under normal market conditions. No more than 35% of the fund's total assets may be held in high-yield issues. The fund is authorized to borrow funds or issue senior securities in amounts not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets. Fund shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MRF.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
  Security Valuations

Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued by an independent pricing service that has been approved by the fund's board of directors. The pricing service may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-dealer supplied valuations, or other formula-driven valuation techniques. These techniques generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings, and general market conditions. Securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from one or more dealers that make markets in the securities or from a widely-used quotation system. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates market value.

The following investment vehicles, when held by the fund, are priced as follows: Exchange listed futures and options on futures are priced at their last sale price on the exchange on which they are principally traded, as determined by FAF Advisors, on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales on that day, futures and options on futures will be valued at the last reported bid price. Options on securities, indices, and currencies traded on Nasdaq or listed on a stock exchange, whether domestic or foreign, are valued at the last sale price on Nasdaq or on any exchange on the day the valuation is made. If there were no sales that day, the options will be valued at the last sale price on the previous valuation date. Last sale prices are obtained from an independent pricing service. Forward contracts (other than currency forward contracts), swaps, and over-the-counter options on securities, indices, and currencies are valu ed at the quotations received from an independent pricing service, if available.

When market quotations are not readily available, securities are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by procedures established and approved by the fund's board of directors. Some of the factors which may be considered in determining fair value are fundamental analytical data relating to the investment; the nature and duration of any restrictions on disposition; trading in similar securities of the same issuer or comparable companies; information from broker-dealers; and an evaluation of the forces that influence the market in which the security is purchased or sold. If events occur that materially affect the value of securities (including non-U.S. securities) between the close of trading in those securities and the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the securities will be valued at fair value.

As of February 29, 2008, the fund held fair valued securities with a total value of $11,386, or 0.01% of net assets.

Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

Security Transactions and Investment Income

For financial statement purposes, the fund records security transactions on the trade date of the security purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including accretion of bond discounts and amortization of bond premiums, is recorded on an accrual basis. Security gains and losses are determined on the basis of identified cost, which is the same basis used for federal income tax purposes.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Reverse repurchase agreements involve the sale of a portfolio-eligible security by the fund coupled with an agreement to repurchase the security at a specified date and price. Reverse repurchase agreements may increase volatility of the fund's net asset value and involve the risk that interest costs on money borrowed may exceed the return on securities purchased with that borrowed money. Reverse repurchase agreements are considered to be borrowings by the fund and are subject to the fund's overall restriction on borrowing, under which it must maintain asset coverage of at least 300%. For the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, the weighted average borrowing's outstanding were $25,213,207. The weighted average interest rate paid by the fund on such borrowings was 4.74%.

Repurchase Agreements

For repurchase agreements entered into with certain broker-dealers, the fund, along with other affiliated registered investment companies, may transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account, the daily aggregate balance of which is invested in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. government or agency obligations. Securities pledged as collateral for all individual and joint repurchase agreements are held by the fund's custodian bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. All agreements require that the daily market value of the collateral be in excess of the repurchase amount, including accrued interest, to protect the fund in the event of a default. As of February 29, 2008, the fund had no outstanding repurchase agreements.

Futures Transactions

In order to protect against changes in interest rates, the fund may buy and sell interest rate futures contracts. Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit cash or pledge U.S. government securities. The margin required for a futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments, which are dependent on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security or securities, are made or received by the fund each day (daily variation margin) and recorded as unrealized gains (losses) until the contract is closed. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain (loss) equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the fund's basis in the contract.

Risks of entering into futures contracts, in general, include the possiblity that there will not be a perfect price correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a futures position prior to its maturity date. Third, the purchase of a futures contract involves the risk that the fund could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the amount reflected in the fund's statement of assets and liabilities. Unrealized gains (losses) on outstanding positions in futures contracts held at the close of the period will be recognized as capital gains (losses) for federal income tax purposes. As of February 29, 2008, the fund had outstanding futures contracts as disclosed in the Schedu le of Investments.

American Income Fund 2008 Semiannual Report
8

Options Transactions

The fund may utilize options in an attempt to manage market or business risk or enhance its yield. When a call or put option is written, an amount equal to the premium received is recorded as a liability. The liability is marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option written. When a written option expires, a gain is realized in the amount of the premium originally received. If a closing purchase contract is entered into, a gain or loss is realized in the amount of the original premium less the cost of the closing transaction. If a written call is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such sale are increased by the premium originally received. If a written put option is exercised, the amount of the premium originally received reduces the cost of the security that is purchased upon exercise of the option.

Purchased options are recorded as investments and marked-to-market daily to reflect the current market value of the option contract. If a purchased option expires, a loss is realized in the amount of the cost of the option. If a closing transaction is entered into, a gain or loss is realized to the extent that the proceeds from the sale are greater or less than the cost of the option. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security by adjusting the proceeds from such sale by the amount of the premium originally paid. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise is increased by the premium originally paid. As of February 29, 2008, the fund had no written or purchased options outstanding.

Swap Agreements

The fund may invest in swap agreements. A swap is an agreement to exchange the return generated by one instrument for the return generated by another instrument. The fund may enter into interest rate and credit default swap agreements to manage exposure to interest rate and credit risk.

Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the fund with another party of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest (e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to the notional amount of principal). As of February 29, 2008, the fund had no outstanding interest rate swap agreements.

In a credit default swap, one party makes a stream of payments to another party in exchange for the right to receive a specified return in the event of a default by a specified reference entity on its obligation (typically corporate issues or sovereign issues of an emerging country). The fund may use credit default swaps to provide a measure of protection against defaults of particular issuers (i.e., to reduce risk where the fund owns or has exposure to the issuer) or to take an active long or short position with respect to the likelihood of a particular issuer's default. As of February 29, 2008, the fund had outstanding credit default swap agreements as disclosed in the Schedule of Investments.

Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon quotations from market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Payments received or made at the beginning of the measurement period are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. Net periodic payments received by the fund are included as part of miscellaneous income on the Statement of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market, and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in interest rates.

Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis

Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the fund on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis can take place a month or more after the transaction date. Such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation, and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The fund segregates assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a when-issued or forward-commitment basis may increase the volatility of the fund's net asset value if the fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of February 29, 2008, the fund had when-issued or forward-commitment securities outstanding with a total cost of $2,045,625.

In connection with the ability to purchase securities on a when-issued basis, the fund may also enter into dollar rolls in which the fund sells securities purchased on a forward-commitment basis and simultaneously contracts with a counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon, and maturity), but not identical securities on a specified future date. As an inducement for the fund to "rollover" its purchase commitments, the fund receives negotiated amounts in the form of reductions of the purchase price of the commitment. Dollar rolls are considered a form of leverage. As of and for the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, the fund had no dollar roll transactions.

Illiquid Securities and Restricted Securities

A security may be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market. Securities are generally considered liquid if they can be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the value at which the security is valued by the fund. Illiquid securities may be valued under methods approved by the fund's board of directors as reflecting fair value. Illiquid securities may include restricted securities, which are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, and may have contractual restrictions on resale.

As of February 29, 2008, the fund held one illiquid security, the value of which was $11,386, which represents 0.01% of net assets. As of February 29, 2008, there were no restricted securities. Information concerning the illiquid security is as follows:

Security	Par		Date Acquired		Cost Basis
California Federal Bank Los Angeles, Series 1991-C12, Class A, 6.78%, 7/15/21	$	11,924		7/93	$	2,965

Federal Taxes

The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company as provided in Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, and to distribute all taxable income, if any, to its shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Net investment income and net realized gains and losses may differ for financial statement and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to deferred wash sales and post-October losses, paydown gains and losses, and the tax recognition of mark-to-market gains and losses on open futures contracts. To the extent these differences are permanent, reclassifications are made to the appropriate capital accounts in the fiscal period that the differences arise.

American Income Fund 2008 Semiannual Report
10

The character of distributions made during the fiscal period from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from its ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. In addition, due to the timing of dividend distributions, the fiscal period in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal period that the income or realized gains or losses were recorded by the fund.

The character of distributions paid during the six-month period ended February 29, 2008 (estimated) and the fiscal year ended August 31, 2007, were as follows:

	2/29/08		8/31/07
Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	2,410,827	$	4,868,926

At August 31, 2007, the fund's most recently completed fiscal year-end, the components of accumulated deficit on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income	$	299,988
Accumulated capital and post-October losses		(9,167,491	)
Unrealized depreciation		(1,814,159	)
Accumulated deficit	$	(10,681,662	)

Distributions to Shareholders

Distributions from net investment income are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Any net realized capital gains on sales of securities for the fund are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Such distributions are payable in cash or, pursuant to the fund's dividend reinvestment plan, reinvested in additional shares of the fund's capital stock.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), non-interested directors of the First American Family of Funds may participate and elect to defer receipt of part or all of their annual compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of open-end First American Funds, preselected by each Director. All amounts in the Plan are 100% vested and accounts under the Plan are obligations of the funds. Deferred amounts remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(3) Expenses
  Investment Advisory Fees

Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement"), FAF Advisors, Inc. ("FAF Advisors"), a subsidiary of U.S. Bank National Association ("U.S. Bank"), manages the fund's assets and furnishes related office facilities, equipment, research, and personnel. The Agreement provides FAF Advisors with a monthly investment advisory fee in an amount equal to an annualized rate of 0.65% of the fund's average weekly net assets. For its fee, FAF Advisors provides investment advice and, in general, conducts the management and investment activities of the fund.

The fund may invest in related money market funds that are series of First American Funds, Inc., subject to certain limitations. In order to avoid the payment of duplicative investment advisory fees to FAF Advisors, which acts as the investment advisor to both the fund and the related money market funds, FAF Advisors will reimburse the fund an amount equal to the investment advisory fee received from the related money market funds that is attributable to the assets of the fund.

Administrative Fees

FAF Advisors serves as the fund's administrator pursuant to an administration agreement between FAF Advisors and the fund. Under this administration agreement, FAF Advisors receives a monthly administrative fee equal to an annualized rate of 0.10% of the fund's average weekly net assets. For its fee, FAF Advisors provides numerous services to the fund including, but not limited to, handling the general business affairs, financial and regulatory reporting, and various other services.

Custodian Fees

U.S. Bank serves as the fund's custodian pursuant to a custodian agreement with the fund. The custodian fee charged to the fund equals an annual rate of 0.005% of average weekly net assets. These fees are computed weekly and paid monthly.

Under this agreement, interest earned on uninvested cash balances is used to reduce a portion of the fund's custodian expenses. These credits, if any, are disclosed as "Indirect payments from the custodian" in the Statement of Operations. Conversely, the custodian charges a fee for any cash overdrafts incurred, which will increase the fund's custodian expenses. For the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, custodian fees were increased by $245 as a result of overdrafts and reduced by $292 as a result of interest earned.

Other Fees and Expenses

In addition to the investment advisory, administrative, and custodian fees, the fund is responsible for paying most other operating expenses, including: legal, auditing, and accounting services, postage and printing of shareholder reports, transfer agent fees and expenses, listing fees, outside directors' fees and expenses, insurance, interest, taxes, and other miscellaneous expenses. For the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, legal fees and expenses of $3,627 were paid to a law firm of which an Assistant Secretary of the fund is a partner.

Expenses that are directly related to the fund are charged directly to the fund. Other operating expenses of the First American Family of Funds are allocated to the fund on several bases, including evenly across all funds, allocated based on relative net assets of all funds within the First American Family of Funds, or a combination of both methods.

(4) Investment Security Transactions
  Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than temporary investments in short-term securities, for the six-month period ended February 29, 2008, aggregated $38,756,316 and $34,812,939, respectively.

(5) Capital Loss Carryover
  For federal income tax purposes, the fund had capital loss carryovers at August 31, 2007, which, if not offset by subsequent capital gains, will expire on the fund's fiscal year-ends as follows:

Capital Loss Carryover		Expiration
$	4,931,683		2008
	662,186		2009
	3,362,188		2010
	176,811		2015
$	9,132,868

The fund incurred a loss for tax purposes for the period from November 1, 2006 to August 31, 2007. As permitted by tax regulations, the fund intends to elect to defer and treat this loss of $34,623 as arising in the fiscal year ended August 31, 2008.

(6) Indemnifications
  The fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of indemnifications. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, the fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.

(7) New Accounting Pronouncements   On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented, and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet a "more-likely-than-not" threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The fund has adopted FIN 48 and as of February 29, 2008, the fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable taxing authority.

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of February 29, 2008, the fund does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will materially impact the amounts reported in the financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain measurements reported in the Statement of Operations for a fiscal period.
