|
(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by subtracting the value of an investment in the Fund at the beginning of the specified period from the value at the end of the period and dividing the remainder by the value of the investment at the beginning of the period and expressing the result as a percentage. The calculation assumes that all income dividends and capital gain distribution have been reinvested at prices obtained under the Funds dividend reinvestment plan. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, price, yield and net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Net asset value is total assets less total liabilities divided by the number of shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current per share dividend to shareholders by the market price per share at September 30, 2006.

|
(b) |
Illiquid security. |
|
(c) |
These securities generally pay interest at rates which are periodically pre-determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. These base lending rates are generally either the lending rate offered by one or more major European banks, such as the LIBOR or the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks, or the certificate of deposit rate. These securities are generally considered to be restricted as the Fund is ordinarily contractually obligated to receive approval from the Agent bank and/or borrower prior to disposition. Remaining maturities of senior loans may be less than the stated maturities shown as a result of contractual or optional payments by the borrower. Such prepayments cannot be predicted with certainty. |
|
(d) |

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PIMCO
Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (the Fund), was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on February 16, 2005. Prior to commencing operations on May 31, 2005, the Fund had no operations other
than matters relating to its organization and registration as a diversified, closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as amended, and the sale and issuance of 4,189 shares of beneficial interest at
an aggregate price of $100,012 to Allianz Global Investors of America, L.P. (Allianz Global). Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager), is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz
Global. Allianz Global is an indirect, majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded insurance and financial services company. The Fund has an unlimited amount of $0.00001
par value common stock authorized.
The Fund issued 9,300,000 shares of common stock in its initial public offering. These shares were issued at $25.00 per share before an underwriting discount of $1.125 per share. Offering costs of $465,000 (representing $0.05 per share) were offset against the proceeds of the offering and have been charged to paid-in capital in excess of par. The Investment Manager agreed to pay all offering costs (other than the sales load) and organizational costs of approximately $25,000 exceeding $0.05 per share.
The Funds investment objective is to seek total return comprised of current income, current gains and long-term capital appreciation.
The Fund normally attempts to achieve its investment objective by investing in equity index derivative instruments relating to U.S. and non-U.S. markets, backed by an actively-managed, low duration (one to three year) debt portfolio with an average credit quality that is investment grade. The Fund currently intends to gain substantially all of its equity index exposure by investing in equity index derivatives based on the Standard & Poors 500 Composite Stock Price Index (S&P 500 Index) and the Morgan Stanley Capital International® Europe, Australasia, Far East Index (the MSCI EAFE Index). The Fund also will employ a strategy of writing (selling) call options on U.S. equity indexes, seeking to generate gains from option premiums which may limit the Funds gains from increases in the S&P 500 Index. Typically substantially all the Funds assets will be invested in a portfolio of income-producing debt securities and debt-related derivative securities.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (the Interpretation). The Interpretation establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Fund, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the date of effectiveness. Fund management has recently begun to evaluate the application of the Interpretation, and is not in a position at this time to estimate the significance of its impact, if any, on the Funds financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 157, Fair Value Measurements, which clarifies the definition of fair value and requires companies to expand their disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities in interim and annual periods subsequent to initial recognition. Adoption of SFAS 157 requires the use of the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, the Funds are in the process of reviewing the Standard against its current valuation policies to determine future applicability.
In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet been asserted. However, the Fund expects the risk of any loss to be remote.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio
securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily
available are stated at market value. Portfolio securities and other financial
instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event
occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security, are fair-valued,
in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees, including
certain fixed income securities which are valued with reference to securities
whose prices are more readily available. The Funds investments, including over-the-counter options, are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or
by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted mean price for those securities for which the over-the-counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were
no sales. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. The Funds investments in senior
floating rate loans (Senior Loans) for which a secondary market exists will be valued at the mean of the last available bid and asked prices in the market for such Senior Loans, as provided by an independent pricing service. Other Senior
Loans are valued at fair value pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. Such guidelines include consideration and evaluation of: (1) the creditworthiness of the borrower and any intermediate participants; (2) the term of the
Senior Loan; (3) recent prices in the market for similar loans, if any; (4) recent prices in the market for loans of similar quality, coupon rate, and period until next interest rate reset and maturity; and (5) general economic and market conditions
affecting the fair value of the Senior Loan. Exchange traded options and futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis are marked to market daily until
settlement at the forward settlement value. Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if
the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. The prices used by the Fund to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. The
Funds net asset value is determined daily as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
on each day the NYSE is open for business.
(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Securities purchased and sold on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be settled a month or more after the trade date. Realized gains and losses on
investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities
using the effective interest method. Facility fees and other fees (such as origination fees) received by the Fund are amortized as income over the expected term of the senior loan. Commitment fees received by the Fund relating to unfunded purchase
commitments are deferred and amortized to facility fee income over the period of the commitment.
(c) Federal Income Taxes
The Fund intends to distribute all of its taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no
provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.
(d) Dividends and Distributions
The
Fund declares dividends monthly to shareholders. Distributions of net realized
capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Fund records dividends
and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of
dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital
gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which
may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These book-tax differences
are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences
are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts
based on their income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.
To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings
and profits for federal income tax purposes; they are reported as dividends and/or
distributions of paid-in capital in excess of par.
Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to the treatment of amounts received under swap agreements. For the six months ended September 30, 2006, the Fund received $5,563,020 from swap agreements which are treated as net realized gain for financial statement purposes and as investment income for federal income tax purposes.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(e) Futures Contracts
A
futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial
instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract,
the Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities
equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the
contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and
are recorded by the Fund as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the
contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference
between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value
at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded
is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves the risk
of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts,
interest rates and the underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of
counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
(f) Option Transactions
The Fund may purchase and write (sell) put and call options as a part of its investment strategy, for hedging purposes or risk management purposes. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Fund pays a
premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Fund bears the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same
manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from the securities sold through the exercise of put options is decreased by the premiums
paid.
When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability and is subsequently marked to market to reflect the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchase transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Fund bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Fund purchasing a security at a price different from the current market.
(g) Interest Rate/Credit Default/Total Return Swaps
The
Fund enters into interest rate, credit default and total return swap contracts
(swaps) for investment purposes, to manage its interest rate and
credit risk or to add leverage.
As a seller in the credit default swap contract, the Fund would be required to pay the notional amount or other agreed-upon value of a referenced debt obligation to the counterparty in the event of a default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer, on the referenced debt obligation. In return, the Fund would receive from the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no event of default has occurred. If no default occurs, the Fund would keep the stream of payments and would have no payment obligations. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss).
The Fund may also purchase credit default swap contracts in order to hedge against the risk of default of debt securities held, in which case the Fund would function as the counterparty referenced in the preceding paragraph. As a purchaser of a credit default swap contract, the Fund would receive the notional amount or other agreed upon value of a referenced debt obligation from the counterparty in the event of default by a third party, such as a U.S. or foreign corporate issuer on the referenced obligation. In return, the Fund would make periodic payments to the counterparty over the term of the contract provided no event of default has occurred. Such periodic payments are accrued daily and recorded as realized gain (loss).
Interest rate swap agreements involve the exchange by the Fund with a counterparty of their respective commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments with respect to a notional amount of principal. Net periodic payments received by the Fund are included as part of realized gain (loss) and or change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the Statement of Operations.
18 PIMCO Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund Semi-Annual Report | 9.30.06 |
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(g) Interest Rate/Credit Default/Total Return Swaps (continued)
Total return swap agreements involve commitments to pay interest in exchange for a market-linked return, both based on notional amounts. To the extent the total return on the security or index underlying the
transaction exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from or make a payment to the counterparty.
Swaps are marked to market daily based upon quotations from brokers or market makers and the change in value, if any, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Funds Statement of Operations. For a credit default swap sold by the Fund, payment of the agreed upon amount made by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as the cost of the referenced debt obligation purchased/received. For a credit default swap purchased by the Fund, the agreed upon amount received by the Fund in the event of default of the referenced debt obligation is recorded as proceeds from sale/ delivery of the referenced debt obligation and the resulting gain or loss realized on the referenced debt obligation is recorded as such by the Fund.
Entering into swaps involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform or disagree as to the meaning of the contractual terms in the agreements, and that there may be unfavorable changes in net interest rates.
(h) Senior Loans
The
Fund purchases assignments of Senior Loans originated, negotiated and structured
by a U.S. or foreign commercial bank, insurance company, finance company or other
financial institution (the Agent) for a
lending syndicate of financial institutions (the Lender). When purchasing
an assignment, the Fund succeeds all the rights and obligations under the loan
agreement with the same rights and obligations as the assigning Lender. Assignments
may, however, be arranged through private negotiations between potential assignees
and potential assignors, and the rights and obligations acquired by the purchaser
of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the
assigning Lender.
(i) Repurchase Agreements
The
Fund enters into transactions with its custodian bank or securities brokerage
firms whereby it purchases securities under agreements to resell at an agreed
upon price and date (repurchase agreements).
Such agreements are carried at the contract amount in the financial statements.
Collateral pledged (the securities received), which consists primarily of U.S.
government obligations and asset-backed securities, are held by the custodian
bank until maturity of the repurchase agreement. Provisions of the repurchase
agreements and the procedures adopted by the Fund require that the market value
of the collateral, including accrued interest thereon, is sufficient in the event
of default by the counterparty. If the counterparty defaults and the value of
the collateral declines or if the counterparty enters an insolvency proceeding,
realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.
(j) Reverse Repurchase Agreements
In
a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells securities to a bank or broker-dealer
and agrees to repurchase the securities at a mutually agreed upon date and price.
Generally, the effect of such a transaction is that the Fund can recover and
reinvest all or most of the cash invested in the portfolio securities involved
during the term of the reverse repurchase agreement and still be entitled to
the returns associated with those portfolio securities. Such transactions are
advantageous if the interest cost to the Fund of the reverse repurchase transaction
is less than the returns it obtains on investments purchased with the cash. Unless
the Fund covers its positions in reverse repurchase agreements (by segregating
liquid assets at least equal in amount to the forward purchase commitment), its
obligations under the agreements will be subject to the Funds limitations on borrowings. Reverse repurchase agreements involve leverage risk and
also the risk that the market value of the securities that the Fund is obligated to repurchase under the agreement may decline below the repurchase price. In the event the buyer of securities under a reverse repurchase agreement files for bankruptcy
or becomes insolvent, the Funds use of the proceeds of the agreement may be restricted pending determination by the other party, or its trustee or receiver, whether to enforce the Funds obligation to repurchase the securities. At
September 30, 2006, the Fund had reverse repurchase agreements outstanding of $41,318,000. The weighted average daily balance of reverse repurchase agreements outstanding for the six months ended September 30, 2006 was $43,926,033
at a weighted average interest rate of 5.13% .

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(k) Forward Foreign Currency Contracts
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a currency at a set exchange rate on a future date. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for the purpose of
hedging against foreign currency risk arising from the investment or anticipated investment in securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may also enter into these contracts for purposes of increasing exposure to a foreign currency or to
shift exposure to foreign currency fluctuations from one country to another. The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. All commitments are marked to market daily at the
applicable exchange rates and any resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. Realized gains or losses are recorded at the time the forward contract matures or by delivery of the currency. Risks may arise upon entering these
contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar.
(l) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. The transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery
taking place beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Fund will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase
price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Fund assumes the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net
asset value. The Fund may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security on a
delayed-delivery basis is sold, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
(m) Credit-Linked Trust Certificates
Credit-linked trust certificates are investments in a limited purpose trust or other vehicle formed under state law which, in turn, invests in a basket of derivative instruments, such as credit default swaps, interest
rate swaps and other securities, in order to provide exposure to the high yield or another fixed income market.
Similar to an investment in a bond, investments in credit-linked trust certificates represent the right to receive periodic income payments (in the form of distributions) and payment of principal at the end of the term of the certificate. However, these payments are conditioned on the trusts receipt of payments from, and the trusts potential obligations to, the counterparties to the derivative instruments and other securities in which the trust invests.
(n) Custody Credits on Cash Balances
The Fund benefits from an expense offset arrangement with its custodian bank whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been
invested in income producing securities, they would have generated income for the Fund.
2. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser
The
Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of the Funds Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is
responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable
monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of the Funds average daily total managed assets. Total managed assets refers to the total assets of the Fund (including any assets attributable to any borrowings that may be outstanding) minus accrued
liabilities (other than liabilities representing borrowings). With respect to any reverse repurchase agreement, dollar roll or similar leveraging transactions, total managed assets includes
any proceeds from the sale of an asset of the Fund to a counterparty in such
a transaction, in addition to the value of the underlying assets as of the relevant
measuring date.
The Investment Manager has retained its affiliate, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the Sub-Adviser), to manage the Funds investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all the Funds investment decisions. The Investment Manager, not the Fund, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services, at an annual rate of 0.5525% of the Funds average daily total managed assets, for the period May 31, 2005 (commencement of operations) through May 31, 2010. Beginning June 1, 2010 and thereafter, the Manager will pay a monthly fee to Sub-Adviser at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Funds average daily total managed assets.

6. Legal Proceedings
In
June and September 2004, the Investment Manager, certain of its affiliates (including
Allianz Global Investors Distributors LLC and PEA Capital LLC) and Allianz Global,
agreed to settle, without admitting or denying the allegations, claims brought
by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission), the New Jersey Attorney General and the California Attorney General alleging violations of federal and state securities laws with respect to
certain open-end funds for which the Investment Manager serves as investment adviser. Two settlements (with the Commission and New Jersey) related to an alleged market timing arrangement in certain open-end funds sub-advised by PEA
Capital LLC. Two settlements (with the Commission and California) related to the alleged use of cash and fund portfolio commissions to finance shelf-space arrangements with broker-dealers for open-end funds. The Investment Manager and
its affiliates agreed to pay a total of $68 million to settle the claims related to market timing and $20.6
million to settle the claims related to shelf space. In addition to monetary
payments, the settling parties agreed to undertake certain corporate governance,
compliance and disclosure reforms related to market timing, brokerage commissions,
revenue sharing and shelf space arrangements, and consented to cease and desist
orders and censures. The settling parties did not admit or deny the findings
in these settlements. None of the settlements allege that any inappropriate activity
took place with respect to the Fund.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates and their employees have been named as defendants in fifteen lawsuits filed in various jurisdictions. Eleven of those lawsuits concern market timing and have been transferred to and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-district litigation proceeding in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the other four lawsuits concern revenue sharing and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits generally relate to the same allegations that are the subject of the regulatory proceedings discussed above. The lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts, restitution, and waiver of or return of certain sales charges paid by open-end fund shareholders.
The Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser believe that these matters are not likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory activities relating to the Fund.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof.
7. Corporate Changes
On
September 12, 2006, the Funds Board of Trustees appointed William B. Ogden
IV as a class I Trustee.
On October 10, 2006, David C. Flattum, an interested Trustee, resigned as a Class III Trustee.
