GAMCO Strategic Value Fund

GAMCO INTERNATIONAL SICAV Board of Directors' Report

Concerns about economic growth, debt burdens, and political stalemates in Europe and the U.S. created volatility in the markets during 2011.

Beginning with a continued economic rebound following the financial crisis of 2008-2009, the market quickly recognized the implications of the political uprisings across the Middle East, and the earthquake and nuclear disaster in Fukushima, Japan, which resulted in both a human tragedy and a disruption to the supply chains of many industries. Over the summer, political brinksmanship over the debt ceiling in the U.S. led to the country losing its MA rating. Through autumn to the end of the year, concerns about the fiscal crisis in Europe led to doubts regarding the ability of certain EU members to repay their debts, and also of whether the euro itself will survive. Despite all the external shocks, the market and the Fund ended the year with little changed.

With this as a backdrop, we continue to do what we have done since the Fund's inception: invest in companies based on our Private Market Value with a CatalystR approach. We will invest in companies trading at a discount to their Private Market Value, with attractive products, in growing and fragmented industries, with good cash flow, and strong management teams. We will also continue to look for catalysts that could be in the form of a management change, restructuring, regulatory changes, split-ups, or other dynamics.

Selected holdings that contributed positively to performance in 2011 were HealthSpring, Inc. (2.17% of net assets as of December 31, 2011), RightNow Technologies (1.7%), and SonoSite, Inc. (2.14). Some of our weaker performing stocks during the year were Nil Holdings, Inc. (0.38%), Lawson Products, Inc. (0.55%), and Gaylord Entertainment Company (1.15%).

GAMCO Merger Arbitrage Fund Deal activity fell 5.5% in 2011, compared with 2010. In the second half of the year, merger and acquisition ("M&A") activity

totaled $1.1 trillion, a 23.9% decline from the first half. Fears over the European debt situation continued to weigh on the global financial markets, and deal activity in the fourth quarter of 2011 fell from the previous quarter. Total global M&A activity, according to Thomson Reuters M&A Review, totaled $543.8 billion in the fourth quarter compared with $569.2 billion in the third quarter of the year. Ongoing concerns about the future of the euro zone, the outlook for the global economy, and the growing domestic fiscal deficit contributed to the stagnant M&A market.

For the year, worldwide M&A activity grew by 7% to $2.6 trillion. Cross border M&A activity totaled $908.4 billion during 2011, accounting for 35.3% of overall M&A volume, unchanged compared with 2010. Cross border M&A was driven by the resources and financial sectors, which comprised nearly half of announced cross border deal volume during 2011.

In the U.S. M&A market, energy was the leading sector for deals, with volume totaling $248.7 billion for the year, accounting for 24.8% of all U.S. M&A activity during 2011 and a 23.1% increase from 2010. The healthcare sector followed, with $162.5 billion in deals announced.

Deals That Closed Within the Merger Arbitrage Fund During 2011 Cephalon Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company which develops products for the central nervous system, inflammatory diseases, pain, and oncology therapeutic uses. On May 2, 2011, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Teva Pharmaceuticals to be acquired for $81.50 per share in cash, valuing the entire transaction at roughly $6.8 billion. The deal closed on October 14, 2011.

Daylight Energy Ltd., based in Calgary, Alberta, is involved in oil and gas exploration in Alberta and British Columbia, with a land base yielding crude oil and natural gas. In the quarter prior to the deal being announced, Daylight had only produced about 35,000 barrels of oil, but it has accumulated significant land positions in emerging shale gas areas in Alberta. On October 9, 2011, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by SINOPEC of China. SINOPEC agreed to pay shareholders of Daylight C$1 0.08 per share held or C$2.2 billion in total. This represented more than a 100% premium to the prior day's closing price of C$4.59. The deal was subject to customary court and regulatory approvals as well as at least 66 2/3% approval by Daylight shareholders. The deal closed on December 30,2011.

Kinetic Concepts Inc. is a medical device company focused on the deSign, manufacture, marketing, and service of therapies and products for wound care, tissue regeneration, and therapeutic support system markets. On July 13, 2011, the company announced that it had entered into an agreement with a consortium of private equity funds led by APAX Partners to be acquired for $68.50 per share in cash. The transaction, valued at approximately $6.3 billion. The deal closed on November 4,2011.

Foster's Group Ltd. is an Australian based alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage company whose products include beef, wine, and cider. The beer portfolio includes the Fosters brand as well as VB, Carlton Draught, Crown Lager, and Pure Blonde. It also licenses brands, including Corona and Asahi. On June 21, 2011, global beverage conglomerate SAB Miller offered to buy Foster's for A$4.90 per share in cash or A$9.5 billion. The company quickly rejected the offer and the deal went hostile in August, when SAB Miller went directly to Foster's shareholders. On September 21> 2011, SAB Miller increased its offer for Fosters to A$5.10 per share in cash plus a return of capital of A$0.30, which was amended to A$5.40 cash per share after a ruling by the Australian government. The deal closed on December 21 , 2011.

Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. is a supplier of ion implantation equipment used by chip makers around the world. On May 4, 2011 the company announced that it had entered into an agreement to be acquired by Applied Materials, Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, Varian shareholders received $63.00 per share in cash. The transaction, valued at approximately $4.9 billion was subject to regulatory as well as shareholder approval. The deal closed on November 10,2011.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Presentation of Financial Statements

The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.

Financial Statements

The Statement of Net Asset Value and Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Asset Value are expressed in USD.

The Net Asset Value of each Sub~Fund is determined in accordance with the following rules to be applied in determining such Value:

a) Valuation of Investments and Other Assets

The value of each SUb-Fund's assets shall be determined as follows:

(i) the value of any cash on hand or on deposit, bills and demand notes payable and accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, cash dividends and interest declared or accrued as aforesaid and not yet received shall be deemed to be the full amount thereof, unless in any case the same is unlikely to be paid or received in full, in which case the value thereof shall be arrived at after making such discount as the Board of Directors of the Fund may consider appropriate in such case to reflect the true value thereof.

(ii) Securities which are listed or dealt in on a stock exchange or dealt in on a Regulated Market, are based on the last available price; the value of Transferable Securities, Money Market Instruments and any financial assets listed or dealt in on a Regulated Market shall be based on the last available closing or settlement price in the relevant market prior to the time of valuation, or any other price deemed appropriate by the Board of Directors of the Fund.

15

Page 17: Audited Financial Statements - Fundsquare

GAMCO INTERNATIONAL SICAV Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

31 December 2011

a) Valuation of Investments and Other Assets (continued)

(iii) the value of any assets held in a Sub-Fund's portfolio which are not listed or dealt in on a Regulated Market or on any Other Regulated Market or if, with respect to assets quoted or dealt in on any stock exchange or dealt in on any such regulated markets, the last available closing or settlement price is not representative of their value, such assets are stated at fair market value or otherwise at the fair value at which it is expected they may be resold, as determined in good faith by or under the direction of the Board of Directors of the Fund;

(iv) Money Market Instruments with a remaining maturity of 90 days or less are valued by the amortized cost method, which approximates market value. Under this valuation method, the relevant Sub-Fund '5 investments are valued at their acquisition cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather than at market value;

(v) units or shares of an open~ended UCI are valued at their last determined and available official net asset value as reported or provided by such UCI or their agents, or, if such price is not representative of the fair market value of such assets, then the price shall be determined by the Fund on a fair and equitable basis. Units or shares of a closed-ended UCI are valued in accordance with the valuation rules set out in items (ii) and (iii);

(vi) units or shares of an open-ended UCI may be valued by reference to estimated values for open~ended UCI which have not yet finalized their own net asset values by the relevant Valuation Day, provided that if no price as at the Valuation Day has been published or otherwise made available to an open-ended UCI by such time as determined by the Investment Manager from time to time, or if the Investment Manager is not satisfied that the valuation provided is representative of fair market value, the value of a holding in such an open-ended UCI is valued at its probable realization value as at the Valuation Oay estimated with care and good faith by Board of Directors of the Fund;

(vii) the liquidating value of forward or options contracts not traded on a market shall mean their net liquidating value determined, pursuant to the policies established prudently and in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Fund, on a basis consistently applied for each different variety of contracts. The liquidating value of futures, fOlWard or options contracts traded on a market are based upon the last available settlement or closing prices as applicable to these contracts on a stock exchange or on the market on which the particular futures, forward or options contracts are traded on behalf of the Fund; provided that if a future, forward or options contract could not be liquidated on the day with respect to which assets are being determined, the basis for determining the liquidating value of such contract is such value as the Board of Directors of the Fund may deem fair and reasonable;

(viii) interest rate swaps are valued on the basis of their market value established by reference to the applicable interest rate cUlVe. Total return swaps or TRORS are valued at fair value under procedures approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund. As these swaps are not eXChange-traded, but are private contracts into which the Fund and a swap counterparty enter as principals, the data inputs for valuation models are usually established by reference to active markets. However it is possible that such market data will not be available for total return swaps or TRORS near the Valuation Day. Where such markets inputs are not available, quoted market data for similar instruments, e.g. , a different underlying instrument for the same or a similar reference entity are used provided that appropriate adjustments be made to reflect any differences between the total return swaps or TRORS being valued and the similar financial instrument for which a price is available. Market input data and prices may be sourced from exchanges, a broker, an external pricing agency or a counterparty; if no such market input data are available, total return swaps or TRORS will be valued at their fair value pursuant to a valuation method adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund which shall be a valuation method widely accepted as good market practice, i.e., used by active participants on setting prices in the market place or which has been demonstrated to provide reliable estimates of market prices) provided that adjustments that the Board of Directors of the Fund may deem fair and reasonable be made. The Fund's auditor will review the appropriateness of the valuation methodology used in valuing total return swaps or TRORS. In any way the Fund will always value total return swaps or TRORS on an arms-length basis. All other swaps, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors of the Fund;

(ix) all other securities, instruments, and other assets are valued at fair market value, as determined in good faith pursuant to procedures established by the Board of Directors of the Fund;

(x) assets or liabilities denominated in a currency other than that in which the relevant Net Asset Value are expressed, are converted at the relevant foreign currency spot rate on the relevant Valuation Day. In that context account shall be taken of hedging instruments used to cover foreign exchange risks;

16

Page 18: Audited Financial Statements - Fundsquare

GAMCO INTERNATIONAL SICAV Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

31 December 2011

b) Conversion of Foreign Currencies

The books and records of the Fund are denominated in USD. Amounts denominated in other currencies are translated into USD on the following basis: (i) investment valuations and other assets and liabilities initially expressed in other currencies are converted each business day into USD using currency exchange rates prevailing on each such business day, and Oi) purchases and sales of foreign investments, income, and expenses are converted into USD using currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Net realised gains and losses on foreign exchange represent: (I) foreign exchange gains and losses from the holding and sale of foreign currencies, OJ) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on securities transactions, and (iii) gains and losses arising from the difference between amounts of dividends and interest recorded and the amounts actually received.

The resulting gains and losses on translation are included in "Net Realised Gain/(Loss) on Foreign Exchange" in the Statement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

c) Formation Costs

The costs and expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Fund and the initial issue of Shares by the Fund, including those incurred in the preparation and publication of the sales documents of the Fund, the remuneration of the Advisory Board members, all legal, fiscal and printing costs, as well as certain launch expenses (including advertising costs) and other preliminary expenses shall be written off over a period not exceeding five years and in such amount in each year in each Sub-Fund of the Fund as determined by the Board of Directors of the Fund on an equitable basis. Such expenses are estimated to be approximately Euro 150.000.

Upon creation of a new Sub-Fund the costs and expenses incurred in connection with its formation shall be written off over a period not exceeding five years against the assets of all existing Sub-Funds and in such amounts in each year and in each Sub-Fund as determined by the Board of Directors of the Fund on an equitable basis. The newly created Sub-Fund shall bear a pro-rata share of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the formation of the Fund, the creation of all existing Sub-Funds and the initial issue of Shares, which have not already been written off at the time of creation of the new Sub­Fund.

d) Shares to Issue I Shares to Redeem

Shares to be issued by the Fund shall be treated as being in issue as from the time specified for each of the Sub-Funds on the Valuation Date with respect to which such valuation is made and from such time and until received by the Fund the price therefore shall be deemed to be an asset of the Fund;

Shares of the Fund to be redeemed (if any) shall be treated as existing and taken into account until the date fixed for redemption, and from such time and until paid by the Fund the price therefore shall be deemed to be a liability of the Fund.

3. Fees and Expenses

a) Management Fees

The Sub-Fund shall pay a Management Company fee to the Management Company, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of 0.04% per annum with a minimum of Euro 20,000 per annum which shall be calculated on the Sub-Fund's average Net Asset Value.

The Investment Manager receives a Management Fee based on the Net Asset Value of each class of Shares within each Sub-Fund calculated and accrued each Valuation Day and paid monthly in arrears at the annual percentages of rates which are more fully described in the porpectus. The Investment Manager is in charge of the payment of the fees of each Sub­Investment Manager as the case may be.

b) Performance Fees

GAMCO INTERNATIONAL SICAV Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

31 December 2011

The Investment Manager receives a perlormance fee, accrued on each Valuation Day, paid yearly, based on the Net Asset Value, equivalent to 20% of the performance of the Net Asset Value per Share exceeding the high water mark (as defined hereafter). The performance fee is calculated on the basis of the Net Asset Value after deduction of all expenses, liabilities, and management fees (but not performance fee), and is adjusted to take account of all subscriptions and redemptions. The performance fee is equal to the outperformance of the Net Asset Value per Share multiplied by the number of Shares in circulation during the calculation period. No performance fee will be due if the Net Asset Value per Share before performance fee turns out to be below the high water mark for the calculation period in question.

The high water mark is defined as the greater of the following two figures: - The last highest Net Asset Value per Share on which a performance fee has been paid; and - The initial Net Asset Value per Share.

The high water mark will be decreased by the dividends paid to Shareholders.

Provision will be made for this performance fee on each Valuation Day. If the Net Asset Value per Share decreases during the calculation period, the provisions made in respect of the performance fee will be reduced accordingly. If these provisions fall to zero, no performance fee will be payable.

If Shares are redeemed on a date other than that on which a performance fee is paid while provision has been made for performance fees, the performance fees for which provision has been made and which are attributable to the Shares redeemed will be paid at the end of the period even if provision for performance fees is no longer made at that date. Gains which have not been realized may be taken into account in the calculation and payment of performance fees.

In the case of subscriptions, the performance fee calculation is adjusted to avoid that a subscription impacts the amount of performance fee accruals. To perform this adjustment, the performance of the Net Asset Value per Share against the high water mark until the subscription date is not taken into account in the performance fee calculation. This accumulated adjustment amount is used in the performance fee calculation until the end of the relevant period and is adjusted in case of subsequent redemptions during the period.

Calculation period shall correspond to each calendar year.

Performance fees are payable within 15 business days following the closing of the annual accounts.

c) Custody Fees

A maximum of 0.035% of each Sub-Fund's average Net Asset Value per year will be payable to the Custodian and its agents by the Fund. This fee is waived for the first six months from the launch of Gamco Strategic Value Fund only. Such fee will be payable on a quarterly basis to the Custodian and on a daily or monthly basis to the agents as the case may be.

d) Administrative, Registrar Agent and Domiciliary and Corporate Agent Fees

A maximum of 0.03% of each Sub-Fund's average Net Asset Value per year will be payable annually by the Fund to the Administrator with a minimum of Euro 20,000 per year for each Sub-Fund (waived for the first six months from the launch of the relevant Sub-Fund). Approximately 0.04% of each Sub-Fund's average Net Asset Value per year will be payable annually by the Fund to the Registrar Agent with a minimum of Euro 35,000 per year for the Fund (waived for the first six months from the launch of the Fund). Euro 7,500 for the first year and Euro 15,000 per subsequent year will be payable annually by the Fund to the Domiciliary and Corporate Agent for the Fund.

4. Taxation

GAMCO INTERNATIONAL SICAV Notes to the Financial Statements (continued)

31 December 2011

Under current law and practice in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Fund is not liable to any Luxembourg income tax, nor are dividends distributed by the Fund liable to any Luxembourg withholding tax.

The Fund is as a rule liable in Luxembourg to a subscription tax (taxe d'abonnement) of 0.05% per annum of its net asset value, such tax being payable quarterly on the basis of the value of the aggregate net assets of the Fund at the end of the relevant calendar quarter.

This rate is however of 0.01 % per annum for:

undertakings the exclusive object of which is the collective investment in money market instruments and the placing of deposits with credit institutions;

undertakings the exclusive object of which is the collective investment in deposits with credit institutions; and

individual compartments of UCls with multiple compartments as well as for individual classes of securities issued within a UCI or within a compartment of a UCI with multiple compartments, provided that the securities of such compartments or classes are reserved to one or more institutional investors.

5. Distribution Policy

The Fund may issue Distributing Share classes and Capitalization Share classes within each Sub~Fund.

Capitalization Share classes capitalise their entire earnings whereas Distributing Share classes pay dividends.

The general meeting of Shareholders of the class or classes of Shares issued in respect of any Sub-Fund, upon proposal of the Board of Directors of the Fund, shall determine how the income of the relevant classes of Shares of the relevant Sub­Funds shall be disposed of and the Fund may declare from time to time, at such time and in relation to such periods as the Board of Directors of the Fund may determine, distributions in the form of cash or Fund's Shares for the class of Shares entitled to distribution.

Should the Shareholders elect the distribution of a cash dividend, all distributions will be paid out of the net investment income available for distribution. For certain classes of Shares, the Board of Directors of the Fund may decide from time to time to distribute net realised capital gains, unrealized capital gains or capital. Unless otherwise specifically requested, dividends will be reinvested in further Shares within the same class of Shares of the same Sub-Fund and investors will be advised of the details by a dividends statement. No sales charge will be imposed on reinvestments of dividends or other distributions.

For classes of Shares entitled to distribution, dividends, if any, will be declared and distributed on an annual basis. Moreover, interim dividends may be declared and distributed from time to time at a frequency decided by the Board of Directors of the Fund in compliance with the conditions set forth by law.

Report of the Reviseur d 'entreprises agree (continued)

An aud it involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the reviseur d'entreprises agree 's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the reviseur d ' en/reprises agree considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accou nting estimates made by the Board of Directors of the Fund, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements .

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opi nion.
