                          ENERGY INCOME AND GROWTH FUND
                         FEBRUARY 29, 2008 (UNAUDITED)

                      1. VALUATION AND INVESTMENT PRACTICES

A. PORTFOLIO VALUATION:

The net asset value ("NAV") of the Common Shares of Energy Income and Growth
Fund (the "Fund") is determined as of the close of regular trading on the New
York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, no less
frequently than weekly on Friday of each week. The NAV per Common Share is
calculated by dividing the value of all assets of the Fund (including accrued
interest and dividends), less all Fund liabilities (including accrued expenses,
dividends payable, current and deferred income taxes and any borrowings of the
Fund) by the total Common Shares outstanding. The Fund will rely to some extent
on information provided by the master limited partnerships ("MLPs"), which is
not necessarily timely, to estimate taxable income allocable to the MLP units
held in the Fund's portfolio and to estimate the associated deferred tax
liability. From time to time, the Fund will modify its estimates and/or
assumptions regarding its deferred tax liability as new information becomes
available. To the extent the Fund modifies its estimates and/or assumptions, the
NAV of the Fund would likely fluctuate.

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 marketing information supplied by third parties. 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, First Trust Advisors L.P. ("First Trust") may use a fair value
method to value the Fund's securities and investments. Additionally, if events
occur after the close of the principal market for particular securities (e.g.,
domestic debt and foreign securities), but before the Fund values its assets,
that could materially affect NAV, First Trust 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 Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act").

Portfolio securities listed on any exchange other than the NASDAQ National
Market ("NASDAQ") are valued at the last sale price on the business day as of
which such value is being determined. If there has been no sale on such day, the
securities are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices on
such day. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official
Closing Price as determined by NASDAQ. Portfolio securities traded on more than
one securities exchange are valued at the last sale price on the business day as
of which such value is being determined at the close of the exchange
representing the principal market for such securities. Portfolio securities
traded in the over-the-counter market, but excluding securities traded on the
NASDAQ, are valued at the closing bid prices. Short-term investments that mature
in less than 60 days are valued at amortized cost.

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FAS 157
effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. This standard
clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the
use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 became effective for the Fund as of
December 1, 2007, the beginning of its current fiscal year. The three levels of
the fair value hierarchy under FAS 157 are described below:

     o    Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

     o    Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices
                    for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds,
                    credit risk, etc.)

     o    Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own
                    assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an
indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. A summary
of the inputs used to value the Fund's net assets as of February 29, 2008 is as
follows:

(a)   Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in
      the Portfolio of Investments, such as futures, forwards and swaps which
      are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instruments.
      As of February 29, 2008 the Fund does not have any derivative instruments.

B. OPTION CONTRACTS:

COVERED OPTIONS. The Fund may write (sells) covered call or put options
("options") on all or portion of the common stock of energy companies held in
the Fund's portfolio as determined to be appropriate by Energy Income Partners
LLC (the "Sub-Advisor"). The number of options the Fund can write (sell) is
limited by the amount of common stock of energy companies the Fund holds in its
portfolio. The Fund will not write (sell) "naked" or uncovered options. By
writing (selling) options, the Fund seeks to generate additional income, in the
form of premiums received for writing (selling) the options, and provide a
partial hedge against a market decline in the underlying security. Options are
marked-to-market daily and their value will be affected by changes in the value
and dividend rates of the underlying securities, changes in interest rates,
changes in the actual or perceived volatility of the securities markets and the
underlying securities and the remaining time to the options' expiration. The
value of options may also be adversely affected if the market for the options
becomes less liquid or smaller.

Options the Fund writes (sells) will either be exercised, expire worthless or be
cancelled pursuant to a closing transaction. If the price of the underlying
security exceeds the option's strike price, it is likely that the option holder
will exercise the option. If an option written (sold) by the Fund is exercised,
the Fund would be obligated to deliver the underlying security to the option
holder upon payment of the strike price. In this case, the option premium
received by the Fund will be added to the amount realized on the sale of the
underlying security for purposes of determining gain or loss. If the price of
the underlying security is less than the option's strike price, the option will
likely expire without being exercised. The option premium received by the Fund
will, in this case, be treated as short-term capital gain on the expiration date
of the option. The Fund may also elect to close out its position in an option
prior to its expiration by purchasing an option of the same series as the option
written (sold) by the Fund.

The options that the Fund writes (sells) give the option holder the right, but
not the obligation, to purchase a security from the Fund at the strike price on
or prior to the option's expiration date. The ability to successfully implement
the Fund's covered call investment strategy depends on the ability of the
Sub-Advisor to predict pertinent market movements, which cannot be assured.
Thus, the use of options may require the Fund to sell portfolio securities at
inopportune times or for prices other than current market value; which may limit
the amount of appreciation the Fund can realize on an investment, or may cause
the Fund to hold a security that it might otherwise sell. As the writer (seller)
of a covered option, the Fund foregoes, during the option's life, the
opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security
covering the option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the
option, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying
security decline. The writer (seller) of an option has no control over the time
when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a writer (seller) of the
option. Once an option writer (seller) has received an exercise notice, it
cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its
obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security to the
option holder at the exercise price.

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.
Distributions received from the Fund's investments in MLPs generally are
comprised of return of capital from the MLP to the extent of the cost basis of
such MLP investments.

D. RESTRICTED SECURITIES:

The Fund may invest up to 35% of its Managed Assets, which is the average gross
asset value of the Fund minus accrued liabilities (excluding the principal of
any borrowings), in restricted securities. Restricted securities are securities
that cannot 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. The Fund currently
holds the restricted securities at February 29, 2008 shown in the following
table. The Fund does not have the right to demand that such securities be
registered. Restricted securities are valued at fair value in accordance with
procedures adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees and in accordance with the
provisions of the 1940 act.
