(a) California Municipal Income Fund's net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares of $150 million. New York Municipal Income Fund's net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares of $47 million.

(b) 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' undistributed net investment income balances. The Funds' management analyzes 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 current dividend rates or the undistributed net investment income balances will remain constant.
