(a) Net assets are inclusive of market value of Preferred Shares of
$150 million and $63 million for California Municipal Income
Fund and New York Municipal Income Fund, respectively.
(b) Note that generally there is a close correlation between what
the Funds earn (net of expenses) and what they pay in monthly
dividends. However, since net earning rates fluctuate from month
to month while monthly dividends have remained relatively
stable, there will be periods when the Funds may over-earn or
under-earn their monthly dividend, which would 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 Board of Trustees
for declaration. There can be no assurance that the current
dividend rates or the undistributed (overdistributed) net
investment income balances will remain constant.
(c) Calculated using the accumulated balance at January 31, 2008.
(d) Calculated using the average fiscal year-to-date month-end
balances for the three months ended January 31, 2007.

subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P., serves as the Funds'
