NOTES TO QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO OF INVESTMENTS - (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST TRUST/ABERDEEN GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY INCOME FUND
MARCH 31, 2007
1. VALUATION AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES
A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION:
First Trust/Aberdeen Global Opportunity Income Fund (the "Fund") determines the
net asset value ("NAV") of its Common Shares daily, as of the close of regular
session trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4:00 p.m.
Eastern time, on each day the NYSE is open for trading. The NAV per Common Share
is computed by subtracting the Fund's liabilities (including accrued expenses,
dividends payable and any borrowings of the Fund) and the liquidation value of
any outstanding preferred shares, if any, from the Fund's Total Assets (the
value of the securities and other investments the Fund holds plus cash or other
assets, including interest accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result
by the total number of Common Shares outstanding.
The Fund's investments are valued daily at market value or, in the absence of
market value with respect to any portfolio securities, at fair value according
to procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. A majority of the Fund's
assets are valued using market information supplied by third parties. In
addition, structured products, including currency-linked notes and credit-linked
notes, as well as interest rate swaps and credit default swaps, are valued using
a pricing service or quotes provided by the selling dealer or financial
institution. In the event that market quotations are not readily available, the
pricing service does not provide a valuation for a particular asset, or the
valuations are deemed unreliable, or if events occurring after the close of the
principal markets for particular securities (e.g., domestic debt and foreign
securities), but before the Fund values its assets, would materially affect NAV,
First Trust Advisors L.P. may use a fair value method to value the Fund's
securities and investments. The use of fair value pricing by the Fund is
governed by valuation procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees, and in
accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
B. FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS:
Forward foreign currency contracts are agreements to exchange one currency for
another at a future date and at a specified price. The Fund may use forward
foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and
to manage the Fund's foreign currency exposure. These contracts are valued
daily, and the Fund's net equity therein, representing unrealized gain or loss
on the contracts as measured by the difference between the forward foreign
exchange rates at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at
the reporting date, is included in Net Other Assets and Liabilities on the
Portfolio of Investments. Risks arise from the possible inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from movement in
currency and securities values and interest rates. Due to the risks, the Fund
could incur losses up to the entire contract amount, which may exceed the net
unrealized value shown in the Schedule of Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.
C. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS:
Securities transactions are recorded as of the trade date. Realized gains and
losses from securities transactions are recorded on the identified cost basis.
Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be
settled a month or more after the trade date; interest income on such securities
is not accrued until settlement date. The Fund maintains liquid assets with a
current value at least equal to the amount of its when-issued or
delayed-delivery purchase commitments.
D. FOREIGN CURRENCY:
The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign
currencies, investments and other assets and liabilities are translated into
U.S. dollars at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period.
Purchases and sales of investment securities are translated on the respective
dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign currency gains and losses
include the effect of changes in exchange rates between trade date and
settlement date on investment security and foreign currency transactions.

MARCH 31, 2007
E. RESTRICTED SECURITIES:
The Fund invests in restricted securities, which are securities that may not be
offered for public sale without first being registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended. Prior to registration, restricted securities may only be
resold in transactions exempt from registration. As of March 31, 2007, the Fund
held restricted securities as shown in the following table. The Fund does not
have the right to demand that such securities be registered. These securities
are valued according to the valuation procedures as stated in the Portfolio
Valuation footnote (Note 1A) and are not expressed as a discount to the carrying
value of a comparable unrestricted security.

2. UNREALIZED APPRECIATION/(DEPRECIATION)
As of March 31, 2007, the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation for all
securities in which there was an excess of value over tax cost was $28,477,744
and the aggregate gross unrealized depreciation for all securities in which
there was an excess of tax cost over value was $852,272.

ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) The registrant's principal executive and principal financial officers,
or persons performing similar functions, have concluded that the
registrant's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"1940 Act") (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c))) are effective, as of a date within
90 days of the filing date of the report that includes the disclosure
required by this paragraph, based on their evaluation of these controls
and procedures required by Rule 30a-3(b) under the 1940 Act (17 CFR
270.30a-3(b)) and Rules 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (17 CFR 240.13a-15(b) or
240.15d-15(b)).
(b) There were no changes in the registrant's internal control over
financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act (17
CFR 270.30a-3(d)) that occurred during the registrant's last fiscal
quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial
reporting.
ITEM 3. EXHIBITS.
Certifications pursuant to Rule 30a-2(a) under the 1940 Act and Section 302 of
