(a) Net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares of $125 million for
California Municipal Income III and $32 million for New York
Municipal Income III.
(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 rates. This fluctuation will
have the effect of adding to or subtracting from the Funds'
undistributed net investment income balances. 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 levels or that the
undistributed net investment income balances will be sufficient to
cover any shortfall in earnings to meet the current dividend rates.
Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC ("AGIFM"), an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P.
serves as the Funds' investment manager and is a member of Munich-based
Allianz Group. Pacific Investment Management Company LLC, an AGIFM
affiliate, serves as the Funds' sub-adviser.
