TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc.

 

Notes to Schedule of Investments (Unaudited)

 

March 31, 2007

 

Note 1 – Significant Accounting Policies:

 

TCW Strategic Income Fund, Inc. (“the Fund”) was incorporated in Maryland on January 13, 1987 as a diversified, closed-end investment management company and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund commenced operations on March 5, 1987. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a total return comprised of current income and capital appreciation by investing in convertible securities, marketable equity securities, investment-grade debt securities, high-yield debt securities, options, securities issued or guaranteed by the United States Government, its agencies and instrumentalities (“U.S. Government Securities”), repurchase agreements, mortgage related securities, asset-backed securities, money market securities and other securities without limit believed by the Fund’s investment advisor to be consistent with the Fund’s investment objective.

 

Security Valuation: Securities traded on national exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price or the mean of the current bid and asked prices if there are no sales in the trading period. Other securities which are traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at the mean of the current bid and asked prices. Short-term debt securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost. Other short-term debt securities are valued on a mark-to-market basis until such time as they reach a remaining maturity of 60 days, where upon they will be valued at amortized value using their value on the 61st day prior to maturity.

 

 

Repurchase Agreements: The Fund may invest in repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Government Securities. A repurchase agreement arises when the Fund purchases a security and simultaneously agrees to resell it to the seller at an agreed upon future date. The Fund requires the seller to maintain the value of the securities, marked to market daily, at not less than the repurchase price. If the seller defaults on its repurchase obligation, the Fund could suffer delays, collection expenses and losses to the extent that the proceeds from the sale of the collateral are less than the repurchase price.

 

Note 2 - Federal Income Taxes:

 

It is the policy of the Fund to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and distribute all of its net taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments, to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

 

At March 31, 2007, net unrealized appreciation for federal income tax purposes is comprised of the following components:

 

Appreciated securities

 

$

8,384,477

 

Depreciated securities

 

(13,503,005

)

Net unrealized appreciation

 

$

(5,118,528

)

Cost of securities for federal income tax purposes

 

$

325,785,516

 

 



 

Note 3—Security Lending:

 

During the period ended March 31, 2007, the Fund lent securities to brokers. The brokers provided collateral, which must be maintained at not less than 100% of the value of the loaned securities, to secure the obligation. At March 31, 2007, the cash collateral received from the borrowing brokers was $3,023,793 which is 104.92% of the value of the loaned securities. The Fund receives income, net of broker fees, by investing the cash collateral in short-term investments.

 

Note 4—Restricted Securities:

 

The Fund is permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time consuming negotiations and expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. There were no restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) at March 31, 2007.
