If the notification relates to a portion of the filing checked above, identify the Item(s) to which the notification relates:

------

#### PART I — REGISTRANT INFORMATION

---

| |
|:---|
| **Ellington Income Opportunities Fund** |
| Full Name of Registrant |
| Former Name if Applicable |
| 8500 Normandale Lake Blvd, Ste 1900 |
| Address of Principal Executive Office *(Street and Number)* |
| Minneapolis, MN 55437 |
| City, State and Zip Code |

---

#### PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| [X] | (a) | The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense |
| [X] | (b) | The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-CEN or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and |
| [X] | (c) | The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable. |

#### PART III — NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period. (Attach extra Sheets if Needed)

The annual report on Form N-CSR could not be filed within the prescribed time period because, due to an administrative delay, the Registrant's financial statements were provided to the auditor without sufficient time for the auditor to complete its review and provide its opinion prior to the due date of the report without unreasonable effort or expense. Specifically, because many of the Registrant's holdings are thinly traded and not readily priced, the sub-advisor double-checked its amortization adjustments before sending to the administrator. Due to staffing limitations at the sub-advisor, this time-consuming process took longer than expected. The amortization workbook was not delivered to the auditor until the weekend of February 25. The auditor needed more time to conduct its testing before it could release its opinion. <br>

#### PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

<br> (1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

<u> Philip Sineneng, Thompson Hine LLP </u> <u> 614 </u> <u> 469-3217 </u> <br> (Name) (Area Code) (Telephone Number)

<sup>(2)</sup> Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). [X] Yes [ ] No<br>

<br> (3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? [ ] Yes [X] No <br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
