(a)
Net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares of $163 million and $79
million for the California Municipal Income Fund II and New York
Municipal Income Fund II, respectively.
(b)
Since the Funds' net earning rates fluctuate from month to month,
there will be periods when the Funds may over-earn or under-earn
their monthly dividend rate. This fluctuation will have the effect
of adding to or subtracting from the Funds' undistributed
(overdistributed) net investment income balances. The Funds'
management analyzes current and projected net earning rates prior
to recommending dividend amounts to the Funds' Board of Trustees
for declaration. There can be no assurance that the monthly
dividend rates will remain at their current level or the
undistributed net investment income balances, if any, will be
sufficient to cover any shortfall in earnings to meet the current
dividend rate.

wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P.,
