LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS

Dear Stockholders,

We welcome this opportunity to provide a Semi-Annual Report for Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc., Helios High Income Fund, Inc., Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc. and Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds”) for the six months ended September 30, 2010.

Since completing the repositioning of the Funds, we believe the portfolios are now appropriately positioned to deliver high current income with a reduced risk profile. Our past experience suggests that this approach is better suited to generate sustainable yields over the course of an entire market cycle.

The high yield market continued its rally over the six months ended September 30, 2010. While returns were not as strong as in the prior six months, a number of important and supportive themes endured. Perhaps the most significant of these themes was continued access to the new issue market. As investors searched for investments that provided income, money flowed in to the high yield market, resulting in robust demand for new high yield corporate bonds. This demand allowed many companies to aggressively manage their balance sheets to drive healthy liquidity positions and removed much of the near term maturity risk from the market. As a result, corporate defaults continued to decline to very modest levels. Finally, lower quality bonds lost their performance advantage during the last six months, after outperforming significantly in the prior period.

Together, these themes point to a positive backdrop for corporate credit. Some volatility has remained, as concerns over European sovereign debt and the ability of the Fed to stimulate economic growth have weighed on investor enthusiasm. However, we believe that the outlook for the corporate high yield debt market remains positive.

High yield spreads relative to comparable treasury bonds have narrowed since their peak, however they still offer attractive opportunities given a high nominal yield and global investor appetite for yield. Importantly, however, we believe that a diversified portfolio of income producing corporate bonds with a conservative risk profile should support an attractive dividend stream for investors.

In addition to performance information, this report provides an overview of market conditions and a discussion of factors affecting the Funds’ investment performance, together with each Fund’s unaudited financial statements and portfolio of investments as of September 30, 2010.

We welcome your questions and comments, and encourage you to contact our Investor Relations team at (800) 497-3746 or visit us at www.brookfieldim.com. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

2010 Semi-Annual Report

HELIOS ADVANTAGE INCOME FUND, INC.

OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY

Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc. seeks a high level of current income. The Fund seeks capital growth as a secondary investment objective when consistent with its primary investment objective. The Fund invests a majority of its total assets in below-investment grade debt securities that offer attractive yield and capital appreciation potential. The Fund also may invest in investment grade debt securities, up to 15% of its total assets in foreign debt and foreign equity securities and up to 25% of its total assets in domestic equity securities, including common and preferred stocks. The Fund invests in a wide range of below-investment grade debt securities, including corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and municipal and foreign government obligations, as well as securities of companies in bankruptcy reorganization proceedings or otherwise in the process of debt restructuring. (Below-investment grade debt securities are rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined by the Fund’s investment advisor to be of comparable quality.) The Fund may use leverage through bank borrowings, reverse repurchase agreements or other transactions involving indebtedness or through the issuance of preferred shares. The Fund may leverage one third of its total assets (in each case including the amount borrowed.) The Fund may vary its use of leverage in response to changing market conditions.

Investment Risks: Investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price. Bond prices and the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Bonds with longer-term maturities generally are more vulnerable to interest rate risk than bonds with shorter-term maturities. Below-investment grade bonds involve greater credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer will not make interest or principal payments when due. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the ability of issuers, especially issuers of below-investment grade debt, to service primary obligations and an unanticipated default could cause the Fund to experience a reduction in value of its shares. The Fund’s investments in mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities that are “subordinated” to other interests in the same pool may increase credit risk to the extent that the Fund, as a holder of those securities, may only receive payments after the pool’s obligations to other investors have been satisfied. Below-investment grade bonds also are subject to greater price volatility and are less liquid, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher-rated debt securities. The value of U.S. and foreign equity securities in which the Fund invests will change based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market and economic conditions. Leverage creates an opportunity for an increased return to common stockholders, but unless the income and capital appreciation, if any, on securities acquired with leverage proceeds exceed the costs of the leverage, the use of leverage will diminish the investment performance of the Fund’s shares. Use of leverage also may increase the likelihood that the net asset value of the Fund and market value of its common shares will be more volatile, and the yield and total return to common stockholders will tend to fluctuate more in response to changes in interest rates and creditworthiness.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Based on the NYSE closing price of $7.14 on September 30, 2010, the Fund’s shares have a dividend yield of 10.08%. The dividend yield is calculated as the annualized amount of the reporting period’s most recent monthly dividend declared divided by the stated stock price.

The table below shows the Fund’s compound returns, based on published net asset values and market prices, for the periods noted as of September 30, 2010, compared with the Fund’s benchmark.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

As the high yield market continued to show strong performance, many of the Fund’s holdings generated significant capital appreciation. Contributors to performance included Citizens Communications, Windstream and Global Crossing. Each had relatively good earnings and reflected the strong performance seen across the Telecommunications sector.

Detractors from performance included Edgen Murray, Dynegy and McJunkin. Edgen Murray and McJunkin performed poorly in reaction to the oil spill in the Gulf and subsequent ban on offshore drilling. Dynegy was negatively impacted by growing market concerns over the company’s leveraged balance sheet.

As of September 30, 2010, the Fund’s leverage was 24.39% of total assets. The Fund utilizes reverse repurchase agreements to obtain its leverage. The Fund’s use of leverage contributed to its performance over the period.

HIGH YIELD MARKET ENVIRONMENT

After tumbling in the second quarter, risk markets recovered strongly in the third quarter. Investors moved beyond concerns over the European financial system and took heart in the apparent want of central banks worldwide to inject liquidity into the system to help the global economy regain momentum. The S&P 500, which lost 11.4% in the second quarter, gained exactly that in the third quarter. The high yield corporate market gained as well, rising 6.7% for the six months ended September 30, 2010, the strongest performance in a year.

As we expected, the level of defaults peaked in late 2009 and has fallen dramatically this year. The 12-month default rate ended 2009 at 12.7%¹ and dropped substantially to less than 3% at the end of September 2010.² Many commentators have reduced their forecast default rate for 2010, and we expect it to be around 2% for the year, representing continued improvement in credit quality. For the month of September, only two companies defaulted, Blockbuster, the video rental company, and the smaller Workflow Management.³

The supply and demand balance in the market has reverted to positive after turning negative in the first half of the period. Credit Suisse estimates that $5.2 billion flowed into high yield mutual funds in the third quarter, reversing the $4.4 billion that left in the second quarter.⁴ The new issue market set a new record in the three months ended September 30, 2010 with $66.5 billion of new paper, and a total of $100 billion over the six months.⁵ Most new issues came well-subscribed and traded well in the aftermarket. Over the past six months, 68% of new issue proceeds were for refinancing,⁶ further addressing the much-feared maturity wall many companies face between 2013 through 2015. Refinancing has the effect of reducing overall credit risk in the market by providing companies with longer term capital. The large new issue calendar enhances this positive credit effect providing a boost to prices, rather than weighing heavily on buyers moving prices lower.

OUTLOOK

We continue to maintain our positive view of the high yield market, and find the current yield spreads attractive in view of the favorable trend in corporate credit quality. We note that rating agencies are upgrading more high yield companies than they are downgrading at the greatest rate in 12 years⁷, a view with which we agree. Furthermore, we believe high yield will remain attractive to yield-hungry investors in a world offering few opportunities to invest for income.

Disclosure

The Fund’s portfolio holdings are subject to change without notice. The mention of specific securities is not a recommendation or solicitation for any person to buy, sell or hold any particular security. There is no assurance that the Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc. currently holds these securities.

The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index covers the U.S. dollar denominated, non-investment grade, fixed-rate, taxable corporate bond market. Securities are classified as high yield if the middle rating of Moody’s, Fitch, and S&P is Ba1/BB+/BB+ or below. The index excludes emerging markets debt. The Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index is part of the Barclays Capital U.S. Universal and Global High Yield Indices. The index is unmanaged and, unlike the Fund, is not affected by cash flows or trading and other expenses. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of the Fund.

The Fund may utilize leverage to seek to enhance the yield and net asset value of its common stock, through bank borrowings, issuance of short-term debt securities or shares of preferred stock, or a combination thereof. However, these objectives cannot be achieved in all interest rate environments. While leverage may result in a higher yield for the Fund, the use of leverage involves risk, including the potential for higher volatility of the NAV, fluctuations of dividends and other distributions paid by the Fund and the market price of the Fund’s common stock, among others. Certain funds may invest assets in securities of issuers domiciled outside the United States, including issuers from emerging markets. Foreign investing involves special risks, including foreign currency risk and the possibility of substantial volatility due to adverse political, economic or other developments.

2010 Semi-Annual Report

HELIOS HIGH INCOME FUND, INC.

OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY

Helios High Income Fund, Inc. seeks a high level of current income. The Fund seeks capital growth as a secondary investment objective when consistent with its primary investment objective. The Fund invests a majority of its total assets in below-investment grade debt securities that offer attractive yield and capital appreciation potential. The Fund also may invest in investment grade debt securities, up to 15% of its total assets in foreign debt and foreign equity securities and up to 25% of its total assets in domestic equity securities, including common and preferred stocks. The Fund invests in a wide range of below-investment grade debt securities, including corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities and municipal and foreign government obligations, as well as securities of companies in bankruptcy reorganization proceedings or otherwise in the process of debt restructuring. (Below-investment grade debt securities are rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined by the Fund’s investment advisor to be of comparable quality.) The Fund may use leverage through bank borrowings, reverse repurchase agreements or other transactions involving indebtedness or through the issuance of preferred shares. The Fund may leverage one third of its total assets (in each case including the amount borrowed.) The Fund may vary its use of leverage in response to changing market conditions.

Investment Risks: Investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price. Bond prices and the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Bonds with longer-term maturities generally are more vulnerable to interest rate risk than bonds with shorter-term maturities. Below-investment grade bonds involve greater credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer will not make interest or principal payments when due. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the ability of issuers, especially issuers of below-investment grade debt, to service primary obligations and an unanticipated default could cause the Fund to experience a reduction in value of its shares. The Fund’s investments in mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities that are “subordinated” to other interests in the same pool may increase credit risk to the extent that the Fund as a holder of those securities may only receive payments after the pool’s obligations to other investors have been satisfied. Below-investment grade bonds also are subject to greater price volatility and are less liquid, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher-rated debt securities. The value of U.S. and foreign equity securities in which the Fund invests will change based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market and economic conditions. Leverage creates an opportunity for an increased return to common stockholders, but unless the income and capital appreciation, if any, on securities acquired with leverage proceeds exceed the costs of the leverage, the use of leverage will diminish the investment performance of the Fund’s shares. Use of leverage also may increase the likelihood that the net asset value of the Fund and market value of its common shares will be more volatile, and the yield and total return to common stockholders will tend to fluctuate more in response to changes in interest rates and creditworthiness.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Based on the NYSE closing price of $7.33 on September 30, 2010, the Fund’s shares have a dividend yield of 9.82%. The dividend yield is calculated as the annualized amount of the reporting period’s most recent monthly dividend declared divided by the stated stock price.

The table below shows the Fund’s compound returns, based on published net asset values and market prices, for the periods noted as of September 30, 2010, compared with the Fund’s benchmark.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

As the high yield market continued to show strong performance, many of the Fund’s holdings generated significant capital appreciation. Contributors to performance included Citizens Communications, Cablevison and Windstream. Each had relatively good earnings and reflected the strong performance seen across the Telecommunications and Media sectors.

Detractors from performance included Dynegy, McJunkin and Maxim Crane. Dynegy was negatively impacted by growing market concerns over the company’s leveraged balance sheet. McJunkin performed poorly in reaction to the oil spill in the Gulf and subsequent ban on offshore drilling. Maxim Crane reacted to weak results and outlook, however, our positive view focuses on the company’s liquidity and lack of near term maturities.

As of September 30, 2010, the Fund’s leverage was 24.89% of total assets. The Fund utilizes reverse repurchase agreements to obtain its leverage. The Fund’s use of leverage contributed to its performance over the period.

2010 Semi-Annual Report

HELIOS MULTI-SECTOR HIGH INCOME FUND, INC.

OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY

Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc. seeks a high level of current income. The Fund seeks capital growth as a secondary investment objective when consistent with its primary investment objective. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of debt securities that offer attractive yield and capital appreciation potential. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests a majority of its total assets in below-investment grade debt securities, including up to 20% of the Fund’s total assets in distressed securities. The Fund maintains the flexibility to invest up to 50% of its total assets in investment grade debt securities. The Fund invests up to 30% of its total assets in equity securities of both domestic and foreign issuers and up to 15% of its total assets in a combination of foreign debt and foreign equity securities. The Fund invests in a wide range of debt securities including, corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, convertible debt securities, distressed securities, including securities of companies in bankruptcy reorganization proceedings or otherwise in the process of debt restructuring, U.S. government and municipal obligations and foreign government obligations. (Below-investment grade debt securities are rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined by the Fund’s investment advisor to be of comparable quality.)

Investment Risks: Investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price. Bond prices and the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Bonds with longer-term maturities generally are more vulnerable to interest rate risk than bonds with shorter-term maturities. Below-investment grade bonds involve greater credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer will not make interest or principal payments when due. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the ability of issuers, especially issuers of below investment-grade debt, to service primary obligations and an unanticipated default could cause the Fund to experience a reduction in value of its shares. The Fund’s investments in mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities that are “subordinated” to other interests in the same pool may increase credit risk to the extent that the Fund as a holder of those securities may only receive payments after the pool’s obligations to other investors have been satisfied. Below-investment grade bonds also are subject to greater price volatility and are less liquid, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher-rated debt securities. The value of U.S. and foreign equity securities in which the Fund invests will change based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market and economic conditions. Leverage creates an opportunity for an increased return to common stockholders, but unless the income and capital appreciation, if any, on securities acquired with leverage proceeds exceed the costs of the leverage, the use of leverage will diminish the investment performance of the Fund’s shares. Use of leverage also may increase the likelihood that the net asset value of the Fund and market value of its common shares will be more volatile, and the yield and total return to common stockholders will tend to fluctuate more in response to changes in interest rates and creditworthiness.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Based on the NYSE closing price of $5.02 on September 30, 2010, the Fund’s shares have a dividend yield of 9.56%. The dividend yield is calculated as the annualized amount of the reporting period’s most recent monthly dividend declared divided by the stated stock price.

The table below shows the Fund’s compound returns, based on published net asset values and market prices, for the periods noted as of September 30, 2010, compared with the Fund’s benchmark.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

As the high yield market continued to show strong performance, many of the Fund’s holdings generated significant capital appreciation. Contributors to performance were the Citizens Communications, Plains Exploration & Production and Chesapeake Energy. Citizens had relatively good earnings and reflected the strong performance seen across the Telecommunications sector. Plains Exploration & Production and Chesapeake Energy both experienced positive investor reactions over assets sales. Chesapeake’s strong performance was also attributed to increased free cash flows and the company’s desire to have an investment grade rating.

As of September 30, 2010, the Fund’s leverage was 26.25% of total assets. The Fund utilizes reverse repurchase agreements to obtain its leverage. The Fund’s use of leverage contributed to its performance over the period.

2010 Semi-Annual Report

HELIOS STRATEGIC INCOME FUND, INC.

OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY

Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc. seeks a high level of current income. The Fund seeks capital growth as a secondary investment objective when consistent with its primary investment objective. The Fund invests in a diversified portfolio of securities that offers attractive yield and capital appreciation potential and consists primarily of debt securities and secondarily of equity securities. The Advisor will continually analyze the markets for income-producing securities and will periodically reallocate the Fund’s investments among various fixed-income and equity asset classes and between investment grade and below-investment grade debt securities to pursue its investment objectives. As a result, a majority of the Fund’s total assets may be invested in investment grade securities at some times and in below-investment grade debt securities at other times. The Fund invests in a wide range of debt securities, including corporate bonds, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities, and municipal and foreign government obligations, as well as securities of companies in bankruptcy reorganization proceedings or otherwise in the process of debt restructuring. The Fund also invests in other securities providing the potential for high income or a combination of high income and capital growth. (Below-investment grade debt securities are rated Ba1 or lower by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, comparably rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization or, if unrated, determined by the Fund’s investment advisor to be of comparable quality.) The Fund may use leverage through bank borrowings, reverse repurchase agreements or other transactions involving indebtedness or through the issuance of preferred shares. The Fund may leverage up to one third of its total assets (in each case including the amount borrowed.) The Fund may vary its use of leverage in response to changing market conditions.

Investment Risks: Investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price. Bond prices and the value of bond funds decline as interest rates rise. Bonds with longer-term maturities generally are more vulnerable to interest rate risk than bonds with shorter-term maturities. Below-investment grade bonds involve greater credit downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the ability of issuers, especially issuers of below-investment grade debt, to service primary obligations and an unanticipated default could cause the Fund to experience a reduction in value of its shares. The Fund’s investments in mortgage-backed or asset-backed securities that are “subordinated” to other interests in the same pool may increase credit risk to the extent that the Fund, as a holder of those securities, may only receive payments after the pools’ obligations to other investors have been satisfied. Below-investment grade bonds are subject to greater price volatility and are less liquid, especially during periods of economic uncertainty or change, than higher-rated debt securities. The value of U.S. and foreign equity securities in which the Fund invests will change based on changes in a company’s financial condition and in overall market and economic conditions. Leverage creates an opportunity for an increased return to common stockholders, but unless the income and capital appreciation, if any, on securities acquired with leverage proceeds exceed the costs of the leverage, the use of leverage will diminish the net investment performance of the Fund’s shares. Use of leverage also may increase the likelihood that the net asset value of the Fund and market value of its common shares will be more volatile, and the yield and total return to common stockholders will tend to fluctuate more in response to changes in interest rates and creditworthiness.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION OF FUND PERFORMANCE

Based on the NYSE closing price of $5.48 on September 30, 2010, the Fund’s shares have a dividend yield of 8.76%. The dividend yield is calculated as the annualized amount of the reporting period’s most recent monthly dividend declared divided by the stated stock price.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

As the high yield market continued to show strong performance, many of the Fund’s holdings generated significant capital appreciation. Contributors to performance included bonds of Altria, Anheuser-Busch and Newmont Mining. Each reported strong earnings that led to good bond performance.

Detractors from performance included Edgen Murray, McJunkin and Hercules. All three performed poorly in reaction to the oil spill in the Gulf and subsequent ban on offshore drilling.

As of September 30, 2010, the Fund’s leverage was 25.10% of total assets. The Fund utilizes reverse repurchase agreements to obtain its leverage. The Fund’s use of leverage contributed to its performance over the period.

HELIOS FUNDS

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2010

1. Organization

Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc., Helios High Income Fund, Inc., Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc. and Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (each a “Fund” and, collectively, the “Funds” or the “Helios Funds”) were organized as separate Maryland corporations on September 7, 2004, April 16, 2003, November 14, 2005 and January 16, 2004, respectively. Each Fund is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as a diversified, closed-end management investment company with its own investment objective.

Effective July 29, 2008, Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (the “Advisor”), a registered investment advisor and wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc., became the investment advisor to the Funds. Prior to July 29, 2008, Morgan Asset Management, Inc. served as investment advisor to the Funds.

Each Fund’s primary investment objective is to seek a high level of current income with capital growth as a secondary investment objective.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Valuation of Investments: Debt securities, including U.S. government securities, listed corporate bonds, other fixed income and asset-backed securities, and unlisted securities and private placement securities, are generally valued at the latest price furnished by an independent pricing service or a broker-dealer. Short-term debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost with interest accrued or discount accreted to the date of maturity, unless such valuation, in the judgment of the Advisor’s Valuation Committee, does not represent fair market value.

Investments in equity securities listed or traded on any securities exchange or traded in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted price as of the close of business on the valuation date. Equity securities for which no sales were reported for that date are valued at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Advisor’s Valuation Committee. Investments in open-end registered investment companies, if any, are valued at the net asset value (“NAV”) as reported by those investment companies.

When price quotations for certain securities are not readily available, or if the available quotations are not believed to be reflective of market value by the Advisor, those securities will be valued at “fair value” as determined in good faith by the Advisor’s Valuation Committee using procedures adopted by, and under the supervision of, each Fund’s Board of Directors. There can be no assurance that a Fund could purchase or sell a portfolio security at the price used to calculate a Fund’s NAV.

Fair valuation procedures may be used to value a substantial portion of the assets of the Funds. A Fund may use the fair value of a security to calculate its NAV when, for example, (1) a portfolio security is not traded in a public market or the principal market in which the security trades is closed, (2) trading in a portfolio security is suspended and not resumed prior to the normal market close, (3) a portfolio security is not traded in significant volume for a substantial period, or (4) the Advisor determines that the quotation or price for a portfolio security provided by a broker-dealer or independent pricing service is inaccurate.

The “fair value” of securities may be difficult to determine and thus judgment plays a greater role in the valuation process. The fair valuation methodology may include or consider the following guidelines, as appropriate: (1) evaluation of all relevant factors, including but not limited to, pricing history, current market level, supply and demand of the respective security; (2) comparison to the values and current pricing of securities that have

comparable characteristics; (3) knowledge of historical market information with respect to the security; (4) other factors relevant to the security which would include, but not be limited to, duration, yield, fundamental analytical data, the Treasury yield curve, and credit quality.

The values assigned to fair valued investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Changes in the fair valuation of portfolio securities may be less frequent and of greater magnitude than changes in the price of portfolio securities valued at their last sale price, by an independent pricing service, or based on market quotations. Imprecision in estimating fair value can also impact the amount of unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded for a particular portfolio security and differences in the assumptions used could result in a different determination of fair value, and those differences could be material.

The Funds adopted updated provisions surrounding fair value measurements and disclosures effective June 30, 2010. This update applies to the Funds’ disclosures about transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Funds have established methods of fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. Fair value denotes the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market of the investment. A three-tier hierarchy has been established to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, for example, the risk inherent in a particular valuation technique used to measure fair value including such a pricing model and/or the risk inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.


•	Level 1 -	quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
•	Level 2 -	quoted prices in markets that are not active or other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
•	Level 3 -	significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing investments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2010 in valuing the Funds’ investments carried at fair value:

Investment Transactions and Investment Income: Securities transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities are accreted and amortized, respectively on a daily basis, using the effective yield to maturity method adjusted based on management’s assessment of the collectability of such interest. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Taxes: Each Fund intends to continue to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its stockholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. Each Fund may incur an excise tax to the extent it has not distributed all of its taxable income on a calendar year basis.

GAAP provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. An evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained by the taxing authority is required. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be booked as a tax expense in the current year and recognized as: a liability for unrecognized tax benefits; a reduction of an income tax refund receivable; a reduction of a deferred tax asset; an increase in deferred tax liability; or a combination thereof. As of September 30, 2010, the Funds have determined that there are no uncertain tax positions or tax liabilities required to be accrued.

The Funds have reviewed all taxable years that are open for examination (i.e., not barred by the applicable statute of limitations) by taxing authorities of all major jurisdictions, including the Internal Revenue Service. As of September 30, 2010, open taxable years consisted of the taxable years ended March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2010. No examination of any of the Funds’ tax returns is currently in progress.

Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to that Fund, while expenses which are attributable to more than one Fund are allocated among the respective Funds based upon relative net assets.

Dividends and Distributions: Each Fund declares and pays dividends monthly from net investment income. To the extent that these distributions exceed net investment income, they may be classified as return of capital. Each Fund also pays distributions at least annually from its net realized capital gains, if any. Dividends and distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. All common shares have equal dividend and other distribution rights. A notice disclosing the source(s) of a distribution will be provided if payment is made from any source other than net investment income. Any such notice would be provided only for informational purposes in order to comply with the requirements of Section 19(a) of the 1940 Act and not for tax reporting purposes. The tax composition of each Fund’s distributions for each calendar year is reported on IRS Form 1099-DIV.

September 30, 2010

Dividends from net investment income and distributions from realized gains from investment transactions have been determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations and may differ from net investment income and realized gains recorded by each Fund for financial reporting purposes. These differences which could be temporary or permanent in nature may result in reclassification of distributions; however, net investment income, net realized gains and losses and net assets are not affected.

When-Issued and Delayed Delivery Transactions: The Funds may engage in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions. The Funds record when-issued securities on the trade date and maintain security positions such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily and begin earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may occur on these transactions due to changes in market conditions or the failure of counterparties to perform under the contract.

Cash Flow Information: Each Fund invests in securities and distributes dividends and distributions which are paid in cash or are reinvested at the discretion of stockholders. These activities are reported in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Additional information on cash receipts and cash payments is presented in the Statement of Cash Flows. Cash, as used in the Statement of Cash Flows, is the amount reported as “Cash” in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, and does not include short-term investments.

Accounting practices that do not affect reporting activities on a cash basis include carrying investments at value and accreting discounts and amortizing premiums on debt obligations.

3. Risks of Investing in Asset-Backed Securities and Below-Investment Grade Securities

The value of asset-backed securities may be affected by, among other factors, changes in: interest rates, the market’s assessment of the quality of the underlying assets, the creditworthiness of the servicer for the underlying assets, information concerning the originator of the underlying assets, or the creditworthiness or rating of the entities that provide any supporting letters of credit, surety bonds, derivative instruments, or other credit enhancement. The value of asset-backed securities also will be affected by the exhaustion, termination or expiration of any credit enhancement.

The Funds have investments in below-investment grade debt securities. Below-investment grade securities involve a higher degree of credit risk than investment grade debt securities. In the event of an unanticipated default, the Funds would experience a reduction in their income, a decline in the market value of the securities so affected and a decline in the NAV of their shares. During an economic downturn or period of rising interest rates, highly leveraged and other below-investment grade issuers frequently experience financial stress that could adversely affect their ability to service principal and interest payment obligations, to meet projected business goals and to obtain additional financing. The market prices of below-investment grade debt securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes than higher-rated investments but are more sensitive to adverse economic or political changes or individual developments specific to the issuer than higher-rated investments. Periods of economic or political uncertainty and change can be expected to result in significant volatility of prices for these securities. Rating services consider these securities to be speculative in nature.

Below-investment grade securities may be subject to market conditions, events of default or other circumstances which cause them to be considered “distressed securities.” Distressed securities frequently do not produce income while they are outstanding. The Funds may be required to bear certain extraordinary expenses in order to protect and recover their investments in certain distressed securities. Therefore, to the extent the Funds seek capital growth through investment in such securities, the Funds’ ability to achieve current income for its stockholders may be diminished. The Funds also are subject to significant uncertainty as to when and in what manner and for what value the obligations evidenced by distressed securities will eventually be satisfied (e.g., through a liquidation of the obligor’s assets, an exchange offer or plan of reorganization involving the securities or a payment of some amount in satisfaction of the obligation). In addition, even if an exchange offer is made or a plan of reorganization is adopted with respect to distressed securities held by the Funds, there can be no

assurance that the securities or other assets received by the Funds in connection with such exchange offer or plan of reorganization will not have a lower value or income potential than may have been anticipated when the investment was made. Moreover, any securities received by the Funds upon completion of an exchange offer or plan of reorganization may be restricted as to resale. As a result of the Funds’ participation in negotiations with respect to any exchange offer or plan of reorganization with respect to an issuer of such securities, the Funds may be restricted from disposing of distressed securities.

4. Investment Advisory Agreements and Affiliated Transactions

Each Fund has entered into a separate Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreements”) with the Advisor under which the Advisor is responsible for the management of each Fund’s portfolio and provides the necessary personnel, facilities, equipment and certain other services necessary to the operations of each Fund. The Advisory Agreements provide, among other things, that the Advisor will bear all expenses of its employees and overhead incurred in connection with the performance of its duties under the Advisory Agreements, and will pay all salaries of the Funds’ directors and officers who are affiliated persons (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the Advisor. The Advisory Agreements provide that each Fund shall pay the Advisor a monthly fee for its services at an annual rate of 0.65% of each Fund’s average daily total assets minus liabilities (other than aggregate indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage).

Each Fund entered into a separate expense limitation agreement (the “Expense Limitation Agreements”) under which the Advisor contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or reimburse each Fund for its expenses to the extent necessary to ensure each Fund’s annual operating expenses (excluding brokerage, interest expenses and taxes, and acquired fund fees and expenses) do not exceed 1.30% of average annual net assets of each Fund. The Expense Limitation Agreements terminated effective July 29, 2010. Pursuant to the Expense Limitation Agreements, the Advisor retains its right to receive reimbursement of any payments made by it, or to recoup any fees waived by it during the prior three fiscal years, provided that after giving effect to such repayment or recoupment, such adjusted total annual operating expenses (expressed as a percentage of average net assets) for each Fund would not exceed the percentage limitations listed above.

The amount of investment advisory fees waived and expenses reimbursed available to be recouped and the year of expiration for each Fund are listed in the table below:


Fund	March 31, 2012		March 31, 2013		March 31, 2014
Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc.	$	314,001	$	374,959	$	32,427
Helios High Income Fund, Inc.		283,797		337,154		58,511
Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc.		337,309		353,979		44,492
Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc.		304,331		341,483		57,099

During the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Advisor earned the following in investment advisory fees under the Advisory Agreements. Further, under the Expense Limitation Agreements, the Advisor was required to waive its investment advisory fees and/or reimburse the following costs to the Funds:


Fund	Investment Advisory Fees		Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement
Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc.	$	210,892	$	(32,427	)

	$	693,357	$	(192,529	)

The Funds have entered into an Administration Agreement with the Advisor. The Advisor entered into a sub-administration agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Sub-Administrator”). The Advisor

and Sub-Administrator perform administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds, including maintaining certain books and records of the Funds and preparing reports and other documents required by federal, state, and other applicable laws and regulations, and providing the Funds with administrative office facilities. For these services, each Fund pays to the Advisor a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.15% of each Fund’s average daily total assets minus liabilities (other than the aggregate indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage). The Advisor is responsible for any fees due the Sub-Administrator.

During the six months ended September 30, 2010, the Advisor earned the following in Administration fees:


Fund	Administration Fee
Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc.	$	48,667

5. Purchases and Sales of Investments

Purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term securities and U.S. Government securities, for the six months ended September 30, 2010 were as follows:


Fund	Purchases		Sales
Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc.	$	27,211,450	$	29,558,262

Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc.		17,915,018		17,486,130

For the six months ended September 30, 2010 there were no transactions in U.S. Government securities.

6. Borrowings

Reverse Repurchase Agreements: The Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements. Under a reverse repurchase agreement, the Funds sell securities and agree to repurchase them at a mutually agreed upon date and price. Under the 1940 Act, reverse repurchase agreements will be regarded as a form of borrowing by each Fund unless, at the time it enters into a reverse repurchase agreement, it establishes and maintains a segregated account with its custodian containing securities from its portfolio having a value not less than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Each Fund has established and maintained such an account for each of its reverse repurchase agreements.

Reverse repurchase agreements involve the risk that the market value of the securities retained in lieu of sale by the Funds may decline below the price of the securities a Fund has sold but is obligated to repurchase. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy or becomes insolvent, such buyer or its Trustee or receiver may receive an extension of time to determine whether to enforce the Funds’ obligation to repurchase the securities, and the Funds’ use of the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreement may effectively be restricted pending such decision. Also, the Funds would bear the risk of loss to the extent that the proceeds of the reverse repurchase agreements are less than the value of the securities subject to such agreements.

7. Reverse Stock Split

Effective September 1, 2009, each Fund effected a 1 for 5 reverse stock split for its respective shares. All share transactions in capital stock and per share data prior to September 1, 2009, have been restated to give effect to the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split had no impact on the overall value of a stockholder’s investment in each Fund.

8. Capital Stock

Each Fund is authorized to issue 1,000,000,000 shares of capital stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Funds’ Boards of Directors are authorized to classify and reclassify any unissued shares of capital stock from time to time by setting or changing the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or terms and conditions of redemption of such shares by the Funds. The common shares have no preemptive, conversion, exchange or redemption rights. All common shares have equal voting, dividend, distribution and liquidation rights. The common shares, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable. Common stockholders are entitled to one vote per share and all voting rights for the election of directors are non-cumulative. The Funds have no present intentions of offering additional shares, except as described in the Dividend Reinvestment Plan on page 70.

9. Federal Income Tax Information

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.

The tax character of the distributions for the six months ended September 30, 2010 is expected to be from ordinary income but will be determined at the end of the Funds’ current fiscal year.

The tax character of distributions paid for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 were as follows:


	Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc.		Helios High Income Fund, Inc.		Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc.		Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

Total distributions	$	5,196,555	$	3,844,846	$	4,021,158	$	3,876,597

⁽¹⁾	For tax purposes, short-term capital gain distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

At March 31, 2010, each Fund’s most recently completed tax year-end, the components of net assets (excluding paid-in capital) on a tax basis were as follows:


	Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc.			Helios High Income Fund, Inc.			Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc.			Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc.
Capital loss carryforward⁽¹⁾	$	(410,121,450	)	$	(304,731,521	)	$	(456,420,567	)	$	(369,469,108	)

⁽¹⁾	To the extent future capital gains are offset by capital loss carryforwards, such gains will not be distributed.

As of March 31, 2010, the Funds’ capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

Federal Income Tax Basis: The federal income tax basis of the Funds’ investments at September 30, 2010 was as follows:


Fund	Cost of Investments		Gross Unrealized Appreciation		Gross Unrealized Depreciation			Net Unrealized Appreciation
Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc.	$	62,068,565	$	4,384,866	$	(2,227,368	)	$	2,157,498
Helios High Income Fund, Inc.		45,706,327		3,297,807		(540,216	)		2,757,591
Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc		52,165,967		3,790,976		(1,377,608	)		2,413,368
Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc.		44,530,740		3,424,121		(1,839,741	)		1,584,380

Capital Account Reclassifications: Because federal income tax regulations differ in certain respects from GAAP, income and capital gain distributions, if any, determined in accordance with tax regulations may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for financial reporting purposes. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments for wash sales, and return of capital. Permanent book and tax differences, if any, relating to stockholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in-capital or to undistributed capital gains. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. There were no reclassifications required as of March 31, 2010.

10. Indemnification

Under each Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to each Fund. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for indemnification. The Funds’ maximum

exposure under these arrangements is unknown, since this would involve the resolution of certain claims, as well as future claims that may be made, against the Funds. Thus, an estimate of the financial impact, if any, of these arrangements cannot be made at this time.

11. New Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-06 “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU No. 2010-06 clarifies existing disclosures and requires additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, entities will need to disclose information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of Level 3 securities on a gross basis, rather than as a net number as currently required. Management is currently evaluating the impact ASU No. 2010-06 will have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

12. Pending Litigation

Beginning in late 2007, lawsuits were filed in state and federal courts in Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Louisiana, New York and Texas relating to certain fixed income funds managed by the Advisor, including the Funds. Certain of the cases were filed as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased shares of the Funds from December 2004 through February 2008 and other cases were filed as actions on behalf of one or more individuals or trusts. The complaints name various entities and individuals as defendants including, among others, the Funds, the former advisor, Morgan Asset Management, Inc. (“MAM”), Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc. (“Morgan Keegan”), Regions Financial Corporation and several affiliates (“Regions”), certain former directors and former officers of the Funds and the Funds’ former portfolio managers. The complaints generally allege that the defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose material facts relating to portfolio composition, fair valuation, liquidity and risk in Fund registration statements and other documents. The plaintiffs seek damages in amounts to be determined at trial and reasonable costs and, in some cases, attorneys’ fees. Each of the cases is at a preliminary stage. An answer was filed in a state court case, Burke v. Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. pending in the circuit court of Jefferson County, Alabama, on behalf of Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc. and Helios Strategic Income Fund, Inc. Other than the Burke case and the motions to dismiss filed in the derivative action discussed below, no responses to the complaints have been filed in the actions pending against the Funds, and no classes have been certified in any of the putative class actions filed against the Funds.

On March 13, 2008, a derivative action was filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee seeking damages on behalf of Helios Multi-Sector High Income Fund, Inc. against MAM and certain former directors of the Fund. The complaint in this action alleged, among other things, that defendants MAM and certain former directors of the Fund breached their fiduciary duties and mismanaged the Fund in connection with portfolio composition, fair valuation, liquidity, risk management and disclosure. The complaint sought damages in an amount to be determined at trial and reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. Motions to dismiss the complaint were filed by the respective defendants. The Board of the Fund is currently undertaking an investigation of the underlying allegations in the complaint to determine whether pursuit of such claims is in the best interest of the Fund. The Fund moved to dismiss the action without prejudice, or alternatively, to stay the action pending the completion of the Board’s investigation of the underlying allegations and its determination as to proceeding on behalf of the Fund. On March 10, 2010, the court granted the defendants’ motions to dismiss and dismissed the action without prejudice to the Fund’s right to seek remuneration for any perceived wrongs on the completion of its Board’s investigation.

Subsequently, on March 18, 2010, four derivative actions were filed on behalf of each of the Funds. The complaints in these actions allege, among other things, that defendants MAM, and certain former officers and directors of the Funds breached their fiduciary duties and mismanaged the Funds in connection with portfolio composition, fair valuation, liquidity, risk management and disclosure. The complaints seek equitable relief,

damages in an amount to be determined at trial and reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. The proceedings are at a preliminary stage and no responses to the complaints have been filed by the respective defendants. Plaintiffs have filed an unopposed motion for consolidation of these actions. Should the Court grant such motion, a consolidated amended complaint will be filed. The Boards of the Funds are currently undertaking an investigation of the underlying allegations in the complaints to determine whether pursuit of such claims is in the best interest of the Funds.

Claims substantially similar to those described above have been made in lawsuits filed in the United States Federal and state courts concerning certain open-end funds formerly managed by the Advisor. Motions to dismiss the open-end derivative and open-end class actions were filed by the respective defendants. The open-end fund defendants moved to dismiss the open-end derivative action without prejudice, or alternatively, to stay such action pending the completion of the Board investigation described above. On September 24, 2010, the Court denied defendants’ motions to dismiss but granted a stay of the action pending receipt by October 25, 2010 of a report by the Board regarding the status of its investigation; on October 22, 2010, the Board filed a status report, and requested that the stay be extended until November 30, 2010, by which the Board expects to file an additional report. The open-end fund defendants separately moved to dismiss the open-end class actions for failure to state a claim. On September 30, 2010, the Court issued an order granting in part and denying in part defendants’ motions to dismiss. Defendants’ time to answer the surviving claims was extended until November 30, 2010.

On September 23, 2008, most of the cases pending in federal court in the Western District of Tennessee in which the Funds are defendants, and other cases pending in that court involving the same or similar claims against other defendants, were consolidated into a single proceeding encaptioned In re Regions Morgan Keegan Closed End Fund Litigation.

On February 12, 2009, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“Judicial Panel”) issued an order transferring related actions pending in other federal courts to the United States District Court for the Western District of Tennessee and directing that the transferred cases be coordinated or consolidated with the above-described actions relating to the Funds (the “MDL proceeding”).

On June 18 and June 23, 2010, respectively, two actions were filed in the Northern District of Alabama against Morgan Keegan, MK Holding, Inc., the Funds, and certain other defendants. These complaints generally allege that the defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose material facts relating to portfolio composition, fair valuation, liquidity and risk in Fund prospectuses and registration statements. The plaintiffs seek damages in amounts to be determined at trial and attorneys’ fees. On July 28, 2010, joint motions were filed by plaintiffs, Morgan Keegan and MK Holding, Inc. in these proceedings for temporary stays pending transfer to the Western District of Tennessee for consolidated or coordinated pretrial proceedings as part of the MDL proceeding.

On July 12, 2010, a putative class action was filed in the Western District of Tennessee against MAM, Morgan Keegan, Regions, MK Holding, Inc., the Funds, and certain other defendants. The action purports to assert claims under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), on behalf of all ERISA plans for which Regions Bank serves or served as trustee, custodian or agent that owned or held shares of certain investment funds, which are subject of the multidistrict litigation discussed above. The Funds, together with certain open-end funds formerly managed by the Advisor, are sued as Nonfiduciary Parties in Interest, and are alleged to be liable, and subject to equitable remedies, for allegedly knowingly participating in breaches of ERISA fiduciary duties by other defendants, or wrongfully obtaining or receiving assets from the Regions ERISA Trusts. Plaintiffs also allege that the Funds are liable for the conduct of certain other defendants who allegedly acted as agents of the Funds. The action seeks equitable remedies, including a constructive trust and/or restitution of assets allegedly wrongfully obtained or received, as well as fees, profits, bonuses, dividends or other remuneration, together with damages in an amount to be determined at trial and reasonable costs and attorneys’ fees. On September 9, 2010, the non-Fund defendants filed a motion to consolidate this action with other ERISA cases in which the Funds are not named as defendants. The Court has not ruled on this motion.

No estimate of the effect, if any, of these lawsuits on the Funds can be made at this time.

Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc. is the holder of certain 2000-1 Class C Notes issued by the NextCard Credit Card Master Note Trust (the “NextCard Trust”) in one of a series of securitization transactions with NextBank, N.A. (“NextBank”). The NextCard Trust held credit card receivables sold to it by NextBank and in order to issue notes to finance the purchase of such receivables. The notes were asset-backed, pass-through notes under which the timing and amounts of payment was initially dependent on collections, and eventually on each series of notes reaching their stated maturity dates. NextBank, which issued credit cards over the internet, was placed into receivership by the FDIC on February 7, 2002.

After years of litigating in Federal District Court in Washington, D.C. whether NextBank’s receivership triggered a “redemption event” under the securitization agreements, the right to the remaining funds held by the NextCard Trust, which are currently believed to be in excess of $50.0 million, shifted to New York after the Indenture Trustee brought an interpleader action. The FDIC, in its statutory capacity as receiver, and various note holders (including Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc.) asserted mutually exclusive claims to the NextCard Trust’s remaining funds.

By decision dated February 24, 2009, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted summary judgment in the note holders’ favor. The FDIC appealed this ruling to the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which held oral argument on March 4, 2010. On June 1, 2010 the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued its opinion affirming the District Court’s decision.

On October 6, 2010 Helios Advantage Income Fund, Inc. received $81,415 for reimbursement of legal expenses in connection with the settlement. On October 25, 2010, the Fund received the settlement payment of $3,361,170 which equates to $0.51 per share.

Management has evaluated subsequent events in the preparation of the Funds’ financial statements and has determined that other than the items listed herein, there are no events that require recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.

Board Considerations Relating to the Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited)

September 30, 2010

At meetings held on March 18 and May 25, 2010, the Board, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors, considered and approved the continuation of the investment advisory agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”) between Brookfield Investment Management Inc. (the “Advisor”) and the Funds. In approving the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including a majority of the Disinterested Directors, determined that the fee structures were fair and reasonable and that approval of the Advisory Agreements was in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board of Directors considered a wide range of information, including information regularly received from the Advisor at the quarterly Board meetings. While attention was given to all information furnished, the following discusses the primary factors relevant to the Board’s decision.

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES. The Board considered the level and depth of knowledge of the Advisor. In evaluating the quality of services provided by the Advisor, the Board took into account its familiarity with the Advisor’s management through board meetings, conversations and reports. The Board noted that the Advisor is responsible for managing the Funds’ investment programs, the general operations and the day-to-day management of the Funds and for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, policies and procedures. The Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the overall services provided by the Advisor and its affiliates are satisfactory. The Board’s conclusion was based, in part, upon services provided to the Funds such as quarterly reports provided by the Advisor: 1) comparing the performance of each Fund with a peer group, 2) showing that the investment policies and restrictions for each Fund were followed, and 3) covering matters such as the compliance of investment personnel and other access persons with the Advisor’s and the Funds’ codes of ethics, the adherence to fair value pricing procedures established by the Board, the monitoring of portfolio compliance and presentations regarding the economic environment. The Board also considered the experience of the Advisor as an investment advisor and the experience of the team of portfolio managers that manages the Funds and its current experience in acting as an investment adviser to other investment funds and institutional clients. The Advisor also provided additional information comparing the legacy portfolio securities purchased for the Funds by the previous investment advisors and the new portfolio securities purchased for the Funds by the Advisor.

INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE. The Board placed significant emphasis on the investment performance of the Funds in view of its importance to shareholders. While consideration was given to performance reports and discussions at Board meetings throughout the year, particular attention in assessing the performance was given to presentations that compared each of the Funds’ performance with the Barclays Capital U.S. Corporate High Yield Index and a large group of similar funds, as of April 30, 2010, for the 1-year period and the period since July 31, 2008, when the Advisor began managing the Funds. The Board noted that each of the Funds’ overall performance was below the median of the performance of the comparable funds for both periods. However, the Advisor provided additional information comparing the performance of the legacy portfolio securities, purchased for the Funds by the previous investment advisor, to the performance of new portfolio securities purchased for the Funds by the Advisor, which indicated that the new portfolio securities generally had strong performance compared to the index and the comparable funds. Based on the Advisor’s explanation of the current market and the improvement in each Fund’s performance after considering the new portfolio securities purchased for the Funds by the Advisor, the Board concluded that each Fund’s performance after the Advisor began its services as investment manager was satisfactory.

PROFITABILITY. The Board also considered the level of profits expected to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates in connection with the operation of the Funds. In this regard, the Board reviewed the Fund profitability analysis addressing the overall profitability of the Advisor for its management of the Helios fund family, as well as its expected profits and that of its affiliates for providing administrative support for the Funds. The Board further noted that the methodology followed in allocating costs to the Funds appeared reasonable, while also recognizing that allocation methodologies are inherently subjective. The Board concluded that the expected profitability to the Advisor from the Funds was reasonable.

MANAGEMENT FEES AND TOTAL EXPENSES. The Board also placed significant emphasis on the review of each Fund’s expenses. The Board compared the advisory fees and total expense ratios of each of the Funds with

Brookfield Investment Management Inc.

Board Considerations Relating to the Investment Advisory Agreements (Unaudited) (continued)

various comparative data that it had been provided with. The Board noted that each Fund’s total expenses were higher than the median, while each Fund’s total advisory and administrative fee was lower than the median of the Funds’ peer group. The Board further noted that the fees and expenses payable by the Funds were comparable to those payable by other client accounts managed by the Advisor and concluded that each Fund’s management fee and total expenses were reasonable.

ECONOMIES OF SCALE. The Board considered the potential economies of scale that may be realized if the assets of the Funds grow. The Board noted that shareholders might benefit from lower operating expenses as a result of an increasing amount of assets being spread over the fixed expenses of the Funds, but noted that, as closed-end funds, the Funds were unlikely to grow significantly.

In considering the approval of the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including the Disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling. Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that it deemed to be relevant, the Board, including the Disinterested Directors, concluded that the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources necessary to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreements; performance of the Funds is satisfactory since the Advisor took over management of the Funds; and the proposed Advisory fees are fair and reasonable, given the nature, extent and quality of the services to be rendered by the Advisor.

After carefully reviewing all of these factors, the Board, including the Disinterested Directors, unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan (Unaudited)

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

The Funds offer a dividend reinvestment plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to which stockholders, unless they elect otherwise, automatically have dividends and other distributions reinvested in common shares of the Fund by Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Shareholder Services, Inc. (together, the “Plan Agent”). Stockholders who elect not to participate in the Plan receive all distributions in cash paid by wire or check mailed directly to the recordholder by the Plan Agent.

How the Plan Works

After a Fund declares a dividend or determines to make other distributions, the Plan Agent will acquire shares for the participants’ accounts, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of newly-issued shares of the Fund or (ii) by open-market purchases as follows:

•

If, on the payment date, the NAV is equal to or less than the market price per share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount in newly-issued shares on behalf of the participants. The number of newly-issued shares to be credited to each participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the distribution by the NAV on the date the shares are issued. However, if the NAV is less than 95% of the market price on the payment date, the dollar amount of the distribution will be divided by 95% of the market price on the payment date. Because common shares may be issued at less than their market price, Plan participants may get a benefit that non-participants do not.

•

If, on the payment date, the NAV is greater than the market value per share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent will invest the distribution amount in shares acquired on behalf of the participants in open-market purchases, which may be made on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the Plan Agent shall determine. It is possible that the market price for the shares may increase before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases. Therefore, the average purchase price per share the Plan Agent pays may exceed the market price thereof on the payment date. If the market price per share increases so that it equals or exceeds the NAV per share (minus estimated brokerage commissions), the Plan Agent will cease its purchases. Otherwise, the Plan Agent will use all distributions received in cash to purchase shares in the open market on or shortly after the payment date, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the payment date, except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchases is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of the federal securities laws. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full amount through open-market purchases during the purchase period, the Plan Agent will request that, with respect to the uninvested portion of such amount, the Fund issue new shares at the close of business on the earlier of the last day of the purchase period or the first day during the purchase period on which the NAV per share (minus estimated brokerage commissions) equals or is less than the market price per share.

Costs of the Plan

The Plan Agent’s fees for the handling of the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions will be paid by the Funds. However, each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent’s open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and other distributions. If a participant elects to have the Plan Agent sell part or all of his or her shares and remit the proceeds, the participant will be subject to a $15.00 service fee and a $0.12 per share sold processing fee (which includes applicable brokerage commissions the Plan Agent is required to pay). The participant will not be charged any other fees for this service. However, each Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service fee payable by the participant.

Tax-Implications

The automatic reinvestment of dividends or other distributions does not relieve participants of any taxes that may be payable on such distributions. Participants will receive tax information annually for their personal records and

The withdrawal will be effective immediately if the participant’s notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than ten days prior to any dividend or other distribution record date. Otherwise, the withdrawal will be effective the first trading day after the payment date for the dividend or other distribution with respect to any subsequent dividend or other distribution.
