PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund Report Results for the Fiscal Quarter and Nine Months Ended January 31, 2008

NEW YORK, April 10, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund (NYSE:PCQ) and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund (NYSE:PNF) (the "Funds') today announced their results for the fiscal quarter and nine months ended January 31, 2008. The Funds are closed-end management investment companies. The investment objective of each Fund is to provide current income exempt from federal income tax. California Municipal Income Fund also seeks to provide current income exempt from California state income taxes. New York Municipal Income Fund also seeks to provide current income exempt from New York state and city income taxes.

(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.
