Notes to Schedule of Investments
--------------------------------

+      Investments in securities by Neuberger Berman Realty Income Fund Inc.
       (the "Fund") are valued at the latest sales price where that price is
       readily available; securities for which no sales were reported, unless
       otherwise noted, are valued at the last available bid price. Securities
       traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market are normally valued by the
       Fund at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ
       each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of
       4:00:02 p.m., Eastern time, unless that price is outside the range of the
       "inside" bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that
       dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that
       case, NASDAQ will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked
       price, whichever is closer. Because of delays in reporting trades, the
       NOCP may not be based on the price of the last trade to occur before the
       market closes. The Fund values all other securities by a method the Board
       of Directors of the Fund (the "Board") believes accurately reflects fair
       value. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value
       of a security, including available analyst, media or other reports,
       trading in futures or ADRs and whether the issuer of the security being
       fair valued has other securities outstanding. Foreign security prices are
       furnished by independent quotation services expressed in local currency
       values. Foreign security prices are translated from the local currency
       into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of 12:00 p.m., Eastern time.
       The Board has approved the use of FT Interactive Data Corporation ("FT
       Interactive") to assist in determining the fair value of the Fund's
       foreign equity securities in the wake of certain significant events.
       Specifically, when changes in the value of a certain index suggest that
       the closing prices on the foreign exchanges no longer represent the
       amount that the Fund could expect to receive for those securities, FT
       Interactive will provide adjusted prices for certain foreign equity
       securities based on an analysis showing historical correlations between
       the prices of those securities and changes in the index. In the absence
       of precise information about the market values of these foreign
       securities as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange, the Board has
       determined on the basis of available data that prices adjusted in this
       way are likely to be closer to the prices the Fund could realize on a
       current sale than are the prices of those securities established at the
       close of the foreign markets in which the securities primarily trade.
       However, fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no
       assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the
       security next trades. Short-term debt securities with less than 60 days
       until maturity may be valued at cost which, when combined with interest
       earned, approximates market value.

#      At cost, which approximates market value.

##     At July 31, 2004, the cost of investments for U.S. Federal income tax
       purposes was $675,776,000. Gross unrealized appreciation of investments
       was $108,023,000 and gross unrealized depreciation of investments was
       $3,614,000, resulting in net unrealized appreciation of $104,409,000,
       based on cost for U.S. Federal income tax purposes.

**     Security exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. These
       securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration,
       normally to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A and are deemed
       liquid. At July 31, 2004, these securities amounted to $6,684,000 or 1.3%
       of net assets applicable to common shareholders.

ITEM 2. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

(a)    Based on an  evaluation of the  disclosure  controls and  procedures  (as
       defined in rule  30a-3(c)  under the Act) as of a date  within 90 days of

       Treasurer  and  Principal   Financial  and  Accounting   Officer  of  the
       Registrant  have concluded that such  disclosure  controls and procedures
       are  effectively  designed  to ensure  that  information  required  to be
       disclosed  by the  Registrant  is  accumulated  and  communicated  to the
       Registrant's  management  to allow timely  decisions  regarding  required
       disclosure.

(b)    There were no significant  changes in the Registrant's  internal controls
       over financial reporting (as defined in rule 30a-3(d) under the 1940 Act)
       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.
