Letter to Stockholders


101 California Street, Suite 4100
San Francisco, CA 94111
(800) 349-4281

Dear Stockholder:

The investments of Montgomery Street Income Securities, Inc., (the "fund") produced a total return based on net asset value (NAV) of 2.09 percent for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002. The return of the fund's NYSE-traded shares was 4.08 percent.

The total NAV return of the fund underperformed the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index,1 a benchmark we use for comparative purposes, which posted a return of 3.79 percent for the period. However, we are encouraged to report that the fund outperformed the 0.76 percent average return of the funds in its Lipper peer group (Closed End Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated) over the first half of the year, and is in the top third of its category over the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods.2

1 The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index is a market value-weighted measure of treasury issues, aging issues, corporate bond issues and mortgage securities.
2 The fund ranked 3, 3, 4 and 4 for the 1-, 3-, 5- and 10- year periods as of June 30, 2002. There were 13, 13, 13, and 12 funds, respectively, in Lipper's Closed End Corporate Debt Funds BBB-Rated category. Performance includes reinvestment of dividends and capital gains and is no guarantee of future results.
Source: Lipper, Inc. as of June 30, 2002.

The June 30, 2002, NAV per share was $19.04, compared to $19.00 on December 31, 2001. The fund's market price stood at $18.93 as of June 30, compared to $18.53 on December 31. The market price discount of the shares, as a percentage of NAV, was 0.58 percent on June 30. The fund paid quarterly dividends of $0.34 on April 30, 2002.

Economic Conditions and Market Performance

The first six months of 2002 were positive for the U.S. bond market as a whole despite revelations of credit problems and alleged accounting misdeeds at several high-profile U.S. corporations. The strongest performing asset class was Treasuries, as widely trumpeted expectations for an economic rebound went unrealized. In the second quarter alone, the yield on the two-year note fell 90 basis points as investors began to factor in the reduced risk of interest

rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. Longer maturities also performed well, as can be seen in the chart below. Outside of the Treasury market, other lower-risk sectors such as asset-backed securities, agency notes, and mortgage-backed securities all provided investors with solid returns.

The corporate sector proved more troublesome, particularly in the telecommunications and high-yield areas. Following Enron's collapse in the first quarter, three other large corporate issuers - WorldCom, Qwest, and Tyco - dropped below investment grade status as the CEOs of these companies were fired amid alleged improprieties. As these scandals became public and a number of companies in the telecommunications sector moved close to bankruptcy, investor confidence in corporate management, financial analysts, auditors, and government regulators reached lows not seen since the early 1930s. The decline in confidence was acutely expressed in the higher-risk sectors of the corporate bond market. However, lower-risk areas held up better on a relative basis. Among the stronger performers were companies viewed as having stable cash flows, capable management teams, and healthy balance sheets. As a result, the corporate market as a whole enjoyed better returns than the performance of its higher-risk sectors would indicate.

Performance is historical and does not guarantee future results.

Portfolio Performance and Strategy

As of April 8, 2002, a new team assumed the management duties of the Montgomery Street portfolio. In running the fund, we are pursuing the same investment objective that investors have come to expect over time: strong current income with a concurrent focus on total return. In seeking to achieve this goal, our primary emphasis is on individual security selection, the factor we believe is most important to outperforming the benchmark and peer group over time. At the same time, we will avoid making large sector or duration bets, and will seek to achieve a high level of diversification in the portfolio.

Accordingly, we have made a handful of shifts to the portfolio since we took over in April. We believe these moves have better positioned the fund for the rocky investment environment we currently face. The most important change has been our decision to reduce the portfolio's risk profile by raising its overall quality. We adjusted the fund's high-yield position so it is less concentrated and more diverse. Within the investment grade portion of the portfolio, our search for value and favorable risk/return profiles among individual issues has led us to reduce the fund's weighting in riskier sectors such as telecommunications and shift the proceeds into lower-risk areas such as energy and, outside of the corporate area, mortgage-backed securities. As part of this process, we have reduced the fund's positions in WorldCom (prior to its collapse), Adelphia, Nextel, and AT&T, as well as lower-tier investment grade issues, such as Toys 'R' Us and Georgia Pacific. We believe that in total, these adjustments will provide investors in the Montgomery Street fund with a more favorable balance of risk and return potential.

At the end of the second quarter, the fund's duration stood at 4.1 years, compared with 6.2 at the close of 2001. This brings duration more closely in line with that of the benchmark, reflecting our unwillingness to make significant interest rate bets in the fund. While the decrease in duration detracted slightly from fund performance during the second quarter, we are comfortable holding a shorter duration positioning given the recent sharp decline in interest rates.

The portfolio continues to hold a position in mortgage-backed securities through the use of leverage, or borrowed money. This allows the fund to earn the difference between the rate at which it borrows compared to the rate it earns on its mortgage-backed holdings. We intend to maintain this strategy, as it continues to generate attractive income for the fund.

During the second quarter, we also continued to increase the fund's unleveraged position in mortgage-backed securities. Our weighting in this sector now stands at 16 percent of assets, compared to 1 percent at the close of 2001. We believe the sector offers an attractive risk profile, as it provides attractive yields in relation to Treasuries without the risks and volatility that have recently characterized the corporate sector. The fund's position in mortgage-backed securities proved beneficial to performance during the first half of the year.

Outlook

Although the corporate debt market has already withstood significant shocks in recent months, we believe the remainder of 2002 will nonetheless remain challenging for investors in the corporate bond market. Confidence is low, and the market remains on edge in anticipation of additional revelations related to financial mismanagement at U.S. corporations. In this environment, we believe our emphasis on credit research, individual security selection, and risk management will allow the fund to successfully navigate potentially difficult market conditions.

Investment Objectives


Investment Objectives

Your fund is a closed-end diversified management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, investing and reinvesting its assets in a portfolio of selected securities. The fund's primary investment objective is to seek as high a level of current income as is consistent with prudent investment risks, from a diversified portfolio primarily of debt securities. Capital appreciation is a secondary objective.

Principal Investment Policies

Currently Effective

Investment of your fund is guided by the following principal investment policies:

At least 70% of total assets must be invested in: straight debt securities (other than municipal securities) rated within the four highest grades assigned by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor's Corporation; bank debt of comparable quality; U.S. government or agency securities; commercial paper; cash; cash equivalents; or Canadian government, provincial, or municipal securities (not in excess of 25% of total assets).

Up to 30% of total assets (the "30% basket") may be invested in U.S. or foreign securities that are straight debt securities, whether or not rated, convertible securities, preferred stocks, or dividend-paying utility company common stock.

Not more than 25% of total assets may be invested in securities of any one industry (neither utility companies as a whole nor finance companies as a whole are considered an "industry" for the purposes of this limitation).

Not more than 5% of total assets may be invested in securities of any one issuer, other than U.S. government or agency securities.

The fund may invest money pursuant to repurchase agreements so long as the fund is initially wholly secured with collateral consisting of securities in which the fund can invest under its investment objectives and policies. In addition, investment in repurchase agreements must not, at the time of any such loan, be as a whole more than 20% - and be as to any one borrower more than 5% - of the fund's total assets.

The fund may loan portfolio securities so long as the fund is continuously secured by collateral at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned. In addition, loans of securities must not, at the time of any such loan, be as a whole more than 10% of the fund's total assets.

The fund may borrow funds to purchase securities, provided that the aggregate amount of such borrowings may not exceed 30% of the fund's assets (including aggregate borrowings), less liabilities (excluding such borrowings).

The fund may enter into forward foreign currency sale contracts to hedge portfolio positions, provided, among other things, that such contracts have a maturity of one year or that at the time of purchase, the fund's obligations under such contracts do not exceed either the market value of portfolio securities denominated in the foreign currency or 15% of the fund's total assets.

Subject to adoption of Board guidelines, the fund may enter into interest rate futures contracts and purchase or write options on interest rate futures contracts, provided, among other things, that the fund's obligations under such instruments may not exceed the market value of the fund's assets not subject to the 30% basket.

Investment Policy Effective July 31, 2002

The following statement was added to the principal investment policies, effective July 31, 2002:

Under normal circumstances, the fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus the amount of any borrowings for investment purposes, in income producing securities. The Board will provide stockholders with at least 60 days' notice prior to making any changes to this 80% investment policy.

* Non-income producing security. In the case of a bond, generally denotes that the issuer has defaulted on the payment of principal or interest or has filed for bankruptcy.
** Floating rate securities are securities whose yields vary with a designated market index or market rate, such as the coupon-equivalent of the U.S. Treasury bill rate. These securities are shown at their current rate as of June 30, 2002.
(a) The cost for federal income tax purposes was $258,164,001. At June 30, 2002, net unrealized appreciation for all securities based on tax cost was $271,285. This consisted of aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost of $3,638,178 and aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which there was an excess of tax cost over value of $3,366,893.
(b) Repurchase agreements are fully collateralized by U.S. Treasury and Government agency securities.
(c) Mortgage dollar rolls included.
(d) When-issued or forward delivery securities included.
Included in the portfolio are investments in mortgage or asset-backed securities which are interests in separate pools of mortgages or assets. Effective maturities of these investments may be shorter than stated maturities due to prepayments. Some separate investments in the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Government National Mortgage Association issues which have similar coupon rates have been aggregated for presentation purposes in the investment portfolio.

b As required, effective January 1, 2001, the Fund has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premiums on debt securities. In addition, paydowns on mortgage-backed securities which were included in realized gain/loss on investment transactions prior to January 1, 2001 are included as interest income. The effect of this change for the period ended December 31, 2001 was to decrease net investment income by $0.03, increase net realized and unrealized gains and losses per share by $0.03, and decrease the ratio of net investment income to average net assets from 6.92% to 6.78%.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)


A. Significant Accounting Policies

Montgomery Street Income Securities, Inc. (the "Fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a closed-end diversified management investment company. The Fund's financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant accounting policies are summarized as follows:

Security Valuation. Investments are stated at value determined as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading.

Debt securities are valued by independent pricing services approved by the Directors of the Fund. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, the securities are valued at the most recent bid quotation or evaluated price, as applicable, obtained from one or more broker-dealers. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes.

Money market instruments purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less, maturing at par, are valued at amortized cost.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Directors.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may enter into repurchase agreements with certain banks and broker/dealers whereby the Fund, through its custodian or sub-custodian bank, receives delivery of the underlying securities, the amount of which at the time of purchase and each subsequent business day is required to be maintained at such a level that the market value is equal to at least the principal amount of the repurchase price plus accrued interest.

Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Fund may enter into mortgage dollar rolls in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to repurchase similar, but not identical, securities on a fixed date. The Fund receives compensation as consideration for entering into the commitment to repurchase. The compensation is paid in the form of a lower price for the security upon its repurchase, or alternatively, a fee. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed with a new sale and repurchase price and a cash settlement made at each renewal without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into mortgage dollar rolls from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their commitments. Additionally, the value of such securities may change adversely before the Fund is able to repurchase them.

When-Issued/Delayed Delivery Securities. The Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the net asset value. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Fund until payment takes place. At the time the Fund enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment.

Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

Federal Income Taxes. The Fund's policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended, which are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Accordingly, the Fund paid no federal income taxes and no federal income tax provision was required.

At December 31, 2001, the Fund had a net tax basis capital loss carryforward of approximately $5,149,000, which may be applied against any realized net taxable capital gains of each succeeding year until fully utilized or until December 31, 2007 ($1,142,000) and December 31, 2008 ($4,007,000), the respective expiration dates, whichever occurs first.

In addition, from November 1, 2001 through December 31, 2001, the Fund incurred approximately $1,131,000 of net realized capital losses. As permitted by tax regulations, the Fund intends to elect to defer these losses and treat them as arising in the year ending December 31, 2002.

Distribution of Income and Gains. Distributions of net investment income , if any, are made quarterly. During any particular year, net realized gains from investment transactions, in excess of available capital loss carryforwards, would be taxable to the Fund if not distributed and, therefore, will be distributed to shareholders. An additional distribution may be made to the extent necessary to avoid the payment of a four percent federal excise tax. The Fund uses the specific identification method for determining realized gain or loss on investments sold for both financial and federal income tax reporting purposes.

The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gains distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These differences primarily relate to investments in mortgage-backed securities, foreign-denominated securities and premium amortization on debt securities. As a result, net investment income and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. Accordingly, the Fund may periodically make reclassifications among certain of its capital accounts without impacting the net asset value of the Fund.

At December 31, 2001, the Fund's components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income*
$ 319,175
Undistributed net long-term capital gains
$ -
Capital loss carryforwards
$ (5,149,000)
Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments
$ 450,818

In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2001 the tax character of distributions paid to shareholders by the Fund was as follows:

Distributions from ordinary income*
$ 13,774,286

* For tax purposes short-term capital gains distributions are considered ordinary income distributions.

Other. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes.

B. Related Parties

On April 5, 2002, 100% of Zurich Scudder Investments, Inc. ("ZSI"), was acquired by Deutsche Bank AG with the exception of Threadneedle Investments in the U.K. Upon the closing of this transaction, ZSI became part of Deutsche Asset Management and changed its name to Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. ("DeIM" or the "Advisor"). Effective April 5, 2002, the investment management agreements with ZSI were terminated and DeIM became the investment advisor for the Fund. The Investment Management Agreement (the "Management Agreement") is the same in all material respects as the corresponding previous Management Agreement.

Under the Investment Management Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Advisor, the Fund agrees to pay the Advisor for services rendered, an annual fee, payable monthly, equal to 0.50 of 1% of the value of the net assets of the Fund up to and including $150 million; 0.45 of 1% of the value of the net assets of the Fund over $150 million and up to and including $200 million; and 0.40 of 1% of the value of the net assets of the Fund over $200 million. The Agreement also provides that the Advisor will reimburse the Fund for all expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses) borne by the Fund in any fiscal year in excess of the sum of one and one-half percent of the first $30 million of average net assets and one percent of average net assets in excess of $30 million. Further, if annual expenses as defined in the Agreement exceed 25% of the Fund's annual gross income, the excess will be reimbursed by the Advisor. Accordingly, for the six months ended June 30, 2002, the fees pursuant to the Agreement amounted to $475,308, equivalent to an effective annualized rate of 0.49% of the Fund's average monthly net assets.

Service Provider Fees. Scudder Investments Service Company ("SISC"), an affiliate of the Advisor, is the transfer, dividend-paying and shareholder service agent for the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the amount charged to the Fund by SISC aggregated $8,100, of which $1,350 is unpaid at June 30, 2002.

Scudder Service Corporation ("SSC"), a subsidiary of the Advisor, is the shareholder communications agent of the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the amount charged to the Fund by SSC aggregated $7,500, of which $1,250 is unpaid at June 30, 2002.

Directors' Fees and Expenses. The Fund pays each Director not affiliated with the Advisor an annual retainer plus specified amounts for attended board and committee meetings.

C. Purchases and Sales of Securities

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, purchases and sales (excluding direct U.S. government obligations, short-term investments and mortgage dollar roll transactions) of investment securities aggregated $185,294,593 and $140,343,819 respectively. Purchases and sales of direct U.S. government obligations aggregated $165,438,439 and $191,566,780, respectively. Purchases and sales of mortgage dollar roll transactions aggregated $235,878,775 and $235,878,775, respectively.


Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan


All registered stockholders of the fund's Common Stock are offered the opportunity of participating in a Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). Registered stockholders, on request or on becoming registered stockholders, are mailed information regarding the Plan, including a form by which they may elect to participate in the Plan and thereby cause their future net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions to be invested in shares of the fund's Common Stock. UMB Bank, N.A. is the agent (the "Plan Agent") for stockholders who elect to participate in the Plan.

If a stockholder chooses to participate in the Plan, the stockholder's dividends and capital gains distributions will be promptly invested, automatically increasing the stockholder's holdings in the fund. If the fund declares a dividend or capital gains distributions payable either in cash or in stock of the fund, the stockholder will automatically receive stock. If the market price per share on the payment date for the dividend (the "Valuation Date") equals or exceeds the net asset value per share, the fund will issue new shares to the stockholder at the greater of the following on the Valuation Date: (a) net asset value per share or (b) 95% of the market price per share. If the market price per share on the Valuation Date is less than the net asset value per share, the fund will issue new shares to the stockholder at the market price per share on the Valuation Date. In either case, for federal income tax purposes the stockholder will be deemed to receive a distribution equal to the market value on the Valuation Date of the new shares issued. If dividends or capital gains distributions are payable only in cash, then the stockholder will receive shares purchased on the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise on the open market. In this event, for federal income tax purposes the amount of the distribution will equal the cash distribution paid. State and local taxes may also apply. All reinvestments are in full and fractional shares, carried to three decimal places.

Stockholders participating in the Plan can also purchase additional shares quarterly in any amount from $100 to $3,000 (a "Voluntary Cash Investment") by sending in a check together with the cash remittance slip, which will be sent with each statement of the stockholder's account, to Scudder Investments Service Company, the Fund's transfer agent (the "Transfer Agent"). Such additional shares will be purchased on the open market by the Plan Agent. The purchase price of shares purchased on the open market, whether pursuant to a reinvestment of dividends payable only in cash or a Voluntary Cash Investment, will be the average price (including brokerage commissions) of all shares purchased by the Plan Agent on the date such purchases are effected. In addition, stockholders may be charged a service fee in an amount up to 5% of the value of the Voluntary Cash Investment. Although subject to change, stockholders are currently charged $1 for each Voluntary Cash Investment.

Stockholders may terminate their participation in the Plan at any time and elect to receive dividends and other distributions in cash by notifying the Transfer Agent in writing. Such notification must be received not less than 10 days prior to the record date of any distribution. There is no charge or other penalty for such termination. The Plan may be terminated by the fund upon written notice mailed to the stockholders at least 30 days prior to the record date of any distribution. Upon termination, the fund will issue certificates for all full shares held under the Plan and cash for any fractional share.

Alternatively, stockholders may request the Transfer Agent to instruct the Plan Agent to sell any full shares and remit the proceeds, less a $2.50 service fee and less brokerage commissions. The sale of shares (including fractional shares) will be a taxable event for federal income tax purposes and may be taxable for state and local tax purposes.

The Plan may be amended by the fund at any time. Except when required by law, written notice of any amendment will be mailed to stockholders at least 30 days prior to its effective date. The amendment will be deemed accepted unless written notice of termination is received by the Transfer Agent prior to the effective date.

An investor holding shares in its own name can participate directly in the Plan. An investor holding shares in the name of a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee should contact that nominee, or any successor nominee, to determine whether the nominee can participate in the Plan on the investor's behalf and to make any necessary arrangements for such participation.

Additional information, including a copy of the Plan and its Terms and Conditions and an enrollment form, can be obtained from the Transfer Agent by writing Scudder Investments Service Company, P.O. Box 219066, Kansas City, MO 64121-9066, or by calling (800) 294-4366.

For annual report requests, please call Shareholder Services at 800-349-4281 or the Transfer Agent at 800-294-4366.
