Market Review: Market rallies in response to Federal Reserve rate cuts
Although the high yield market posted positive returns for the twelve months ended October 31, 2007, the period was one of contrasts. Initially, a solid economic backdrop, strong credit fundamentals, and growing demand for yield all contributed to the market's strength. However, concerns over sub-prime mortgages, tougher credit conditions, and shelved leveraged buyout deals weighed heavily on the market during the summer months — resulting in a significant sell off. Finally, in response to the Federal Reserve's reduction in interest rates, the market rallied considerably and liquidity improved, along with the pace of the new issue volume. More recently, momentum has slowed amidst liquidity headlines and their potential to cause additional market volatility.
All told, the Merrill Lynch US High Yield Master II Constrained benchmark posted returns of 6.96% for the annual period ended October 31, 2007. Lower rated securities outperformed the broader market with returns of 8.08%, while the more interest rate sensitive BB-rated securities underperformed, returning about 6.18%. The average yield spread between high yield bonds and Treasury securities widened 102 basis points to +440, after reaching historical lows (+252) in June.
Apart from the homebuilding sector, credit fundamentals have remained sound against this more volatile backdrop. Defaults, as reported by Moody's Investor Services (at 1.13% for October), continue to hover near ten-year lows.
Technical concerns relating to an overhang in new issue supply continue to weigh on the market although the pace of new issuance has picked up in the last two months. Issuers have selectively participated in the new issue market with a total of $25 billion priced during September and October.

Strategic Review and Market Outlook: In general, credit fundamentals appear intact
Both an overweight to lower rated securities and an underweight to BB-rated securities contributed to performance. Further, superior sector and/or security selection in diversified capital goods, media-cable, and integrated telecommunications also contributed to performance. Security selection in retailers and electric-generation hurt returns relative to the benchmark.
Over the period, the Fund had emphasized the B-rated and CCC-rated issuers. However, while corporate balance sheets are strong, we expect growth to be slower in the year ahead. The distress ratio, which had been supportive of low defaults, now points to a modest increase in default rates for 2008. As a result, we have used periods of volatility to add to positions in the names we like — particularly in the higher rated issuers. At the sector level, we remain constructive on corporate spending and the commercial cycle broadly. In contrast, we are cautious with respect to consumer driven industries and have sought to limit exposures to them given high energy prices and weak housing data.
In our opinion, the risk of sub-prime contagion to other sectors of the economy still remains. Credit fundamentals, outside of the housing sector, appear intact but third quarter earnings have been volatile. Furthermore, while new issuance has been well received and we expect the new issue calendar to be well-managed, the continuing supply overhang may cap returns in the near-term. In the coming months we expect continued volatility and will look to selectively add higher quality issuers in the secondary market and take advantage of new issue opportunities.

Returns represent past performance and include change in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. The current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the figures shown. Returns and share price will fluctuate, and redemption value may be more or less than original cost. The performance results do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Performance information current to the most recent month-end is available at www.credit-suisse.com/us.
1 Fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements may reduce expenses for the Fund, without which performance would be lower. Waivers and/or reimbursements may be discontinued at any time.
2 Total return for the Fund's Class A shares for the reporting period, based on offering price (including maximum sales charge of 4.75%), was 1.68%. Total return for the Fund's Class B shares for the reporting period, based on redemption value (including maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 4%), was 2.09%. Total return for the Fund's Class C shares for the reporting period, based on redemption value (including maximum contingent deferred sales charge of 1%), was 5.04%.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses
As an investor of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: ongoing expenses and transaction costs. Ongoing expenses include management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. Examples of transaction costs include sales charges (loads), redemption fees and account maintenance fees, which are not shown in this section and which would result in higher total expenses. The following table is intended to help you understand your ongoing expenses of investing in the Fund and to help you compare these expenses with the ongoing expenses of investing in other mutual funds. The table is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended October 31, 2007.
The table illustrates your Fund's expenses in two ways:
• Actual Fund Return. This helps you estimate the actual dollar amount of ongoing expenses paid on a $1,000 investment in the Fund using the Fund's actual return during the period. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line under the share class you hold.
• Hypothetical 5% Fund Return. This helps you to compare your Fund's ongoing expenses with those of other mutual funds using the Fund's actual expense ratio and a hypothetical rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. Examples using a 5% hypothetical fund return may be found in the shareholder reports of other mutual funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Please note that the expenses shown in these tables are meant to highlight your ongoing expenses only and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees. If these transaction costs had been included, your costs would have been higher. The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" line of the tables is useful in comparing ongoing expenses only and will not help you determine the relative total expenses of owning different funds.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund's annualized expense ratio for each share class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half year period, then divided by 365.
The "Expenses Paid per $1,000" and the "Annualized Expense Ratios" in the tables are based on actual expenses paid by the Fund during the period, net of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. If those fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements had not been in effect, the Fund's actual expenses would have been higher.

Each class of shares represents an equal pro rata interest in the Fund, except that they bear different expenses which reflect the differences in the range of services provided to them. Effective December 12, 2001, Common Class shares closed to new investments, except for reinvestments of dividends. Common Class shareholders may continue to hold Common Class shares but may not add to their accounts. Although no further shares can be purchased, shareholders can redeem their Common Class shares through any available method. Class A shares are sold subject to a front-end sales charge up to 4.75%. Class B shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge which declines from 4.00% to zero depending on the period of time the shares are held. Class C shares are sold subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0 0% if redeemed within the first year of purchase.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
A) SECURITY VALUATION — The net asset value of the Fund is determined daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (the "Exchange") on each day the Exchange is open for business. Debt securities with a remaining maturity greater than 60 days are valued in accordance with the price supplied by a pricing service, which may use a matrix, formula or other objective method that takes into consideration market indices, yield curves and other specific adjustments. Debt obligations that will mature in 60 days or less are valued on the basis of amortized cost, which approximates market value, unless it is determined that using this method would not represent fair value. Equity investments are valued at market value, which is generally determined using the closing price on the exchange or market on which the security is primarily traded at the time of valuation (the "Valuation Time"). If no sales are reported, equ ity investments are generally valued at the most recent bid quotation as of the Valuation Time or at the lowest asked quotation in the case of a short sale of securities. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund's closing net asset value per share on the day of valuation. Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or whose values have been

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
materially affected by events occurring before the Fund's Valuation Time but after the close of the securities' primary markets, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees under procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The Fund may utilize a service provided by an independent third party which has been approved by the Board of Trustees to fair value certain securities. When fair-value pricing is employed, the prices of securities used by a fund to calculate its net asset value may differ from quoted or published prices for the same securities.
B) FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS — The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the current prevailing exchange rates. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the current exchange rate at the end of the period. Translation gains or losses resulting from changes in the exchange rate during the reporting period and realized gains and losses on the settlement of foreign currency transactions are reported in the results of operations for the current period. The Fund does not isolate that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in equity securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of equity securities. The Fund isolates that portion of realized gains and losses on investments in debt securities which is due to changes in the foreign exchange rate from that which is due to changes in market prices of debt securities.
C) SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME — Security transactions are accounted for on a trade date basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain expenses are class-specific expenses and vary by class. Income, expenses (excluding class-specific expenses) and realized/unrealized gains/losses are allocated proportionately to each class of shares based upon the relative net asset value of the outstanding shares of that class. The cost of investments sold is determined by use of the specific identification method for both financial reporting and income tax purposes.
D) DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS — Dividends from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and paid at least annually. However, to the extent that a net realized capital gain can be reduced by a capital loss carryforward, such gain will not be distributed. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
E) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES — No provision is made for federal taxes as it is the Fund's intention to continue to qualify for and elect the tax treatment applicable to regulated investment companies under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to make the requisite distributions to its shareholders, which will be sufficient to relieve it from federal income and excise taxes.
F) USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
G) SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS — The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse Asset Management, LLC ("Credit Suisse"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Credit Suisse Group, pools available cash into either a short-term variable rate time deposit issued by State Street Bank and Trust Company ("SSB"), the Fund's custodian, or a money market fund advised by Credit Suisse. The short-term time deposit issued by SSB is a variable rate account classified as a short-term investment.
H) FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS — The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purchase or sale of a specific foreign currency at a fixed price on a future date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency. The Fund will enter into forward foreign currency contracts primarily for hedging purposes. Forward foreign currency contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until the contract settlement date or an offsetting position is entered into. At October 31, 2007, the Fund had the following open forward foreign currency contracts:
Forward Foreign Currency Contracts | | Expiration Date | | Foreign Currency To Be Sold | | Contract Amount | | Contract Value | | Unrealized Loss | |
European Economic Unit | | | 01/09/09 | | | € | (505,000 | ) | | $ | (714,630 | ) | | $ | (731,263 | ) | | $ | (16,633 | ) | |
I) TBA PURCHASE COMMITMENTS — The Fund may enter into "TBA" (to be announced) purchase commitments to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date, typically not exceeding 45 days. TBA purchase commitments may
37
Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2007
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
be considered securities in themselves, and involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to settlement date. This risk is in addition to the risk of decline in the Fund's other assets. Unsettled TBA purchase commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, according to the procedures described above under "Security Valuation".
J) SWAPS — The Fund may enter into index swaps for hedging purposes or to seek to increase total return. A swap is an agreement that obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals based upon or calculated by reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset or notional principal amount. The Fund will enter into index swaps only on a net basis, which means that the two payment streams are netted out, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Risks may arise as a result of the failure of the counterparty to the swap contract to comply with the terms of the swap contract. The loss incurred by the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Fund, and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Therefore, the Fund considers the creditworthiness of ea ch counterparty to a swap contract in evaluating potential credit risk. Additionally, risks may arise from unanticipated movements in interest rates or in the value of the underlying reference asset or index.
The Fund records unrealized gains or losses on a daily basis representing the value and the current net receivable or payable relating to open swap contracts. Net amounts received or paid on the swap contract are recorded as realized gains or losses. Fluctuations in the value of swap contracts are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized appreciation or depreciation of swap contracts. Realized gains and losses from terminated swaps are included in net realized gains/losses on swap contracts transactions.
The Fund may enter into credit default swap agreements either as a buyer or seller. The Fund may buy a credit default swap to attempt to mitigate the risk of default or credit quality deterioration in one or more individual holdings or in a segment of the fixed income securities market. The Fund may sell a credit default swap in an attempt to gain exposure to an underlying issuer's credit quality characteristics without investing directly in that issuer.
The "buyer" in a credit default swap is obligated to pay the "seller" an upfront payment or a periodic stream of payments over the term of the agreement, provided that no credit event on an underlying reference obligation has occurred. If a credit event occurs, the seller must pay the buyer the full
38
Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2007
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
notional value, or "par value," of the reference obligation in exchange for the reference obligation. As a result of counterparty risk, credit default swap agreements involve greater risks than if the Fund had invested in the reference obligation directly.
If the Fund is a buyer and no credit event occurs, the cost to the Fund is the premium paid with respect to the agreement. If a credit event occurs, however, the Fund may elect to receive the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity that may have little or no value. On the other hand, the value of any deliverable obligations paid by the Fund to the seller, coupled with the up front or periodic payments previously received by the seller, may be less than the full notional value the seller pays to the Fund, resulting in a loss of value to the Fund.
If the Fund is a seller and no credit event occurs, the Fund would generally receive an up front payment or a fixed rate of income throughout the term of the swap, which typically is between six months and three years. If a credit event occurs, however, generally the Fund would have to pay the buyer the full notional value of the swap in exchange for an equal face amount of deliverable obligations of the reference entity that may have little or no value. When the Fund acts as a seller of a credit default swap agreement it is exposed to speculative exposure risk since, if a credit event occurs, the Fund may be required to pay the buyer the full notional value of the contract net of any amounts owed by the buyer related to its delivery of deliverable obligations of the reference entity. As a result, the Fund bears the entire risk of loss due to a decline in value of a referenced security on a credit default swap it has sold if there is a credi t event with respect to the security. The Fund bears the same risk as a buyer of fixed income securities directly. The Fund will sell a credit derivative only with respect to securities in which it would be authorized to invest.
The Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a credit default swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the counterparty. The Fund will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness (generally, such counterparties would have to be eligible counterparties under the terms of the Fund's repurchase agreement guidelines). Credit default swap agreements are generally valued at a price at which the counterparty to such agreement would terminate the agreement.
As the seller of a credit default swap the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. Accordingly, the
39
Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2007
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Fund will segregate liquid investments in an amount equal to the aggregate market value of the of the credit default swaps of which it is the seller, marked to market on a daily basis. Segregated assets cannot be sold or transferred unless equivalent assets are substituted in their place or it is no longer necessary to segregate them. As a result, there is the possibility that segregation of a large percentage of the Fund's assets could impede portfolio management or the Fund's ability to meet current obligations. The notional amount of the aggregate credit exposure to which the Fund is subject, plus the market value of the Fund's investments in credit derivatives and/or premiums paid therefor as a buyer of credit derivatives, may not exceed the Fund's total assets.
When the Fund buys or sells a credit derivative, the underlying issuer (s) or obligor(s) as well as the counterparty to the transaction will be treated as an issuer for purposes of complying with the Fund's issuer diversification and industry concentration policies, absent regulatory guidance to the contrary. The Fund may, but is not required to, use credit swaps or any other credit derivative. There is no assurance that credit derivatives will be available at any time or, if used, that the derivatives will be used successfully.
Tax Considerations. Periodic net payments will constitute ordinary income or deductions, while termination of a swap will result in capital gain or loss (which will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Fund has been a party to the swap for more than one year). The tax treatment of many types of credit default swaps is uncertain.
At October 31, 2007, the Fund had outstanding credit default swap contracts as follows:
Currency | | Notional Amount | | Expiration Date | | Underlying Instrument | | Counterparty | | Annual Rate | | Unrealized Appreciation / (Depreciation) | | Upfront Payment | |
USD | | 1,250,000 | | 6/20/12 | | CDX North America High Yield Index | | Lehman Brothers | | 2.75% | | $(32,779) | | $68,750 | |
K) SECURITIES LENDING — Loans of securities are required at all times to be secured by collateral at least equal to 102% of the market value of domestic securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon) and 105% of the market value of foreign securities on loan (including any accrued interest thereon). Cash collateral received by the Fund in connection with securities lending activity may be pooled together with cash collateral for other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse and may be invested in a variety of investments, including certain Credit Suisse-advised funds, funds advised by SSB, the Fund's securities lending agent, or money market instruments. However, in the event of default or
40
Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
October 31, 2007
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
bankruptcy by the other party to the agreement, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.
SSB has been engaged by the Fund to act as the Fund's securities lending agent. The Fund's securities lending arrangement provides that the Fund and SSB will share the net income earned from the securities lending activities. During the year ended October 31, 2007, total earnings from the Fund's investment in cash collateral received in connection with securities lending arrangements was $1,405,539, of which $1,277,442 was rebated to borrowers (brokers). The Fund retained $103,809 in income from the cash collateral investment and SSB, as lending agent, was paid $24,288. The Fund may also be entitled to certain minimum amounts of income from its securities lending activities. Securities lending income is accrued as earned.
L) OTHER — Lower-rated debt securities (commonly known as "junk bonds") possess speculative characteristics and are subject to greater market fluctuations and risk of lost income and principal than higher-rated debt securities for a variety of reasons. Also, during an economic downturn or substantial period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged issuers may experience financial stress which would adversely affect their ability to service their principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing.
In addition, periods of economic uncertainty and changes can be expected to result in increased volatility of market prices of lower-rated debt securities and (to the extent the Fund invests in junk bonds) the Fund's net asset value.
Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
Credit Suisse serves as investment adviser for the Fund. For its investment advisory services, Credit Suisse is entitled to receive a fee from the Fund at an annual rate of 0.70% of the Fund's average daily net assets less than or equal to $100 million and 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets greater than $100 million. For the year ended October 31, 2007, investment advisory fees earned and voluntarily waived were $689,212 and $305,937, respectively. Credit Suisse will not recapture from the Fund any fees it waived during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. Fee waivers and reimbursements are voluntary and may be discontinued by Credit Suisse at any time.
Credit Suisse Asset Management Securities, Inc. ("CSAMSI"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, and SSB serve as co-administrators to the Fund. For its co-administrative services, CSAMSI currently receives a fee calculated at an
41
Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

Note 3. Transactions with Affiliates and Related Parties
annual rate of 0.09% of the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended October 31, 2007, co-administrative services fees earned by CSAMSI were $91,001. Effective December 1, 2006, the co-administration fee was reduced from an annual rate of 0.10% to 0.09%.
For its co-administrative services, SSB receives a fee, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses, calculated in total for all the Credit Suisse funds/portfolios co-administered by SSB and allocated based upon relative average net assets of each fund/portfolio, subject to an annual minimum fee. For the year ended October 31, 2007, co-administrative services fees earned by SSB (including out-of-pocket expenses) were $79,251.
In addition to serving as the Fund's co-administrator, CSAMSI currently serves as distributor of the Fund's shares. Pursuant to distribution plans adopted by the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, CSAMSI receives fees for its distribution services. CSAMSI is currently paid at the annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Class A shares. For Class B and Class C shares of the Fund, the fee is calculated at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets.
For the year ended October 31, 2007, CSAMSI and its affiliates advised the Fund that they retained $6,390 from commissions earned on the sale of the Fund's Class A shares.
Merrill Corporation ("Merrill"), an affiliate of Credit Suisse, has been engaged by the Fund to provide certain financial printing and fulfillment services. For the year ended October 31, 2007, Merrill was paid $38,838 for its services to the Fund.
Note 4. Line of Credit
The Fund, together with other funds/portfolios advised by Credit Suisse (collectively, the "Participating Funds"), participates in a $50 million committed, unsecured line of credit facility ("Credit Facility") for temporary or emergency purposes with Deutsche Bank, A.G. as administrative agent and syndication agent and SSB as operations agent. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Participating Funds pay an aggregate commitment fee at a rate of 0.10% per annum on the average unused amount of the Credit Facility, which is allocated among the Participating Funds in such manner as is determined by the governing Boards of the Participating Funds. In addition, the Participating Funds pay interest on borrowings at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. At October 31, 2007, the Fund had no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility.

Note 6. Capital Share Transactions
The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest, $.001 par value per share, of which an unlimited number of shares are classified as Common Class shares, Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares.

Effective March 1, 2007, the Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on all classes of shares currently being offered that are purchased on or after March 1, 2007 and redeemed or exchanged within 30 days from the date of purchase. Reinvested dividends and distributions are not subject to the fee. The fee is charged based on the value of shares at redemption, is paid directly to the Fund and becomes part of the Fund's daily net asset value calculation. When shares are redeemed that are subject to the fee, reinvested dividends are redeemed first, followed by the shares held longest.
On October 31, 2007, the number of shareholders that held 5% or more of the outstanding shares of each class of the Fund was as follows:
| | Number of Shareholders | | Approximate Percentage of Outstanding Shares | |
Common Class | | | 3 | | | | 89 | % | |
Class A | | | 4 | | | | 65 | % | |
Class B | | | 1 | | | | 39 | % | |
Class C | | | 1 | | | | 55 | % | |
Some of the shareholders are omnibus accounts, which hold shares on behalf of individual shareholders.
Note 7. Federal Income Taxes
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

Note 7. Federal Income Taxes
The tax characteristics of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2007 and 2006 by the Fund were as follows:
Ordinary Income | | Long-Term Capital Gain | |
2007 | | 2006 | | 2007 | | 2006 | |
$ | 7,752,727 | | | $ | 9,874,461 | | | $ | 516,073 | | | $ | 4,139,025 | | |
The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences. These differences are primarily due to losses deferred on wash sales, income from defaulted bonds and mark to market of forwards and swap contracts. At October 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis for the Fund were as follows:
Undistributed net investment income | | $ | 1,099,749 | | |
Undistributed ordinary income — other | | | (283,838 | ) | |
Accumulated net realized gain | | | 1,905,775 | | |
Unrealized depreciation | | | (1,273,442 | ) | |
| | $ | 1,448,244 | | |
At October 31, 2007, the Fund had no capital loss carryforwards available to offset possible future capital gains.
At October 31, 2007, the identified cost for federal income tax purposes, as well as the gross unrealized appreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of value over cost, gross unrealized depreciation from investments for those securities having an excess of cost over value and the net unrealized depreciation from investments were $103,824,015, $2,228,354, $(3,498,788) and $(1,270,434), respectively.
At October 31, 2007, the Fund reclassified $158,322 from accumulated net realized gain from investments to undistributed net investment loss, to adjust for current period permanent book/tax differences which arose principally from differing book/tax treatments of foreign currency, defaulted bonds and swap income reclass. Net assets were not affected by these reclassifications.
Note 8. Contingencies
In the normal course of business, the Fund may provide general indemnifications pursuant to certain contracts and organizational documents. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 9. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
During June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation 48 ("FIN 48" or the "Interpretation"), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB statement 109. FIN 48 supplements FASB Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, by defining the confidence level that a tax position must meet in order to be recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a fund should recognize, measure, present, and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that the fund has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the t ax effects of a position be recognized only if it is "more likely than not" to be sustained based solely on its technical merits. Management must be able to conclude that the tax law, regulations, case law, and other objective information regarding the technical merits sufficiently support the position's sustainability with a likelihood of more than 50 percent. On December 22, 2006, the SEC indicated that they would not object if the Fund implements FIN 48 in the first required financial statement reporting period for its fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. Management is evaluating the application of the Interpretation to the Fund and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Fund's financial statements.
On September 20, 2006, the FASB released Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"). FAS 157 establishes an authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value, and requires additional disclosures about fair-value measurements. The application of FAS 157 is required for fiscal years, beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of October 31, 2007, management does not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required in subsequent reports.

Credit Suisse High Income Fund
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of
Credit Suisse High Income Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Credit Suisse High Income Fund (the "Fund") at October 31, 2007, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements 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 are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
