 (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 April 30, 2008.

 (d) Calculated using the average fiscal year-to-date month-end
     balances for the three months ended April 30, 2007.

Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC, 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 - News).
