(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 April 30, 2009 and April 30, 2008, respectively.
(b) The information provided is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), which requires the Fund to treat amounts accrued by the Fund under swap agreements as net realized gain (loss). However, these amounts are treated as net income (loss) for federal income tax purposes. By using GAAP, Net Investment Income for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2009 was $(23,877) ($(0.003) per common share) higher and (Net Realized and Change in Unrealized Loss correspondingly higher) than those figures would have been if swap amounts were treated as net income (loss) in accordance with federal income tax treatment.
(c) 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 dividends, which would have the effect of adding to or subtracting from the Funds' 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 overdistributed net investment income balances will remain constant. In accordance with federal income tax treatment, inclusive of amounts accrued under swap agreements.
