(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 the 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 that 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 Asset Management of America L.P.,
serves as each Fund's investment manager and is a member of Munich-based
Allianz Group. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, and AGIFM
