(a) California Municipal Income Fund's net assets are inclusive of market value
of Preferred Shares of $150 million. New York Municipal Income Fund's net assets
are inclusive of market value of Preferred Shares of $47 million and $63 million
at July 31, 2009 and July 31, 2008, respectively. 

(b) 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 dividends, 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. 

Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC ("AGIFM"), an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P., serves as
the Funds' investment manager and is a member of Munich-based Allianz Group
(NYSE: AZ). Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, an AGIFM affiliate,
