(as a % of total

(1) | Inclusive of net assets attributable to Preferred Shares outstanding. |
(2) | Past Performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by subtracting the value of an investment in the Fund at the beginning of each specified period from the value at the end of the period and dividing the remainder by the value of the investment at the beginning of the period and expressing the result as a percentage. The calculation assumes that all income dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at prices obtained under the dividend reinvestment plan. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. |
An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, price, yield and net asset value will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information only and is not intended for trading purposes. A portion of the income generated by the Fund may be subject to federal, state and local taxes, and may at times be subject to the alternative minimum tax. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one-time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are sold in the open market through a stock exchange. Net asset value is total assets applicable to common shareholders less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily. |
(3) | Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly per share dividend to common shareholders by the market price per common share at October 31, 2005. |

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PIMCO Municipal Income Fund ("Municipal"), PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund ("California Municipal") and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund ("New York Municipal"), collectively referred to as the "Funds", were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on May 10, 2001. Prior to commencing operations on June 29, 2001, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder, as amended. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the "Investment Manager"), serves as the investment manager and is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz Global Investors of America L.P. ("Allianz Global"). Allianz Global is an indirect majority-owned subsidiary of Allianz AG.
Municipal invests substantially all of its assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds, the interest from which is exempt from federal income taxes. California Municipal invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that is exempt from federal and California state income taxes. New York Municipal invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that is exempt from federal, New York state and New York City income taxes. The Funds will seek to avoid bonds generating interest income which could potentially subject individuals to alternative minimum tax. The issuers' abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific state or region.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds based upon events that have not been asserted. However, the Funds expect the risk of any loss to be remote.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are not readily available or if a development/event occurs that may significantly impact the value of a security may be fair-valued, in good faith, pursuant to guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. The Funds' investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or are valued at the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the last quoted bid price for those securities for which the over the counter market is the primary market or for listed securities in which there were no sales. The independent pricing service uses information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Exchange traded options and futures are valued at the settlement price determined by the relevant exchange. Short-term investments maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement value. The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold and the differences could be material to the financial statements. The Funds' net asset values are determined daily as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for business.
(b) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Original issue discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized daily to non-taxable interest income. Market discount, if any, is accreted daily to taxable income.
(c) Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required. In addition, by distributing substantially all of their taxable ordinary income and long-term capital gains, if any, during each calendar year, the Funds intend not to be subject to U.S. federal excise tax.
26 PIMCO Municipal Income Funds Semi-Annual Report | 10.31.05
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Dividends and Distributions — Common Stock
The Funds declare dividends from net investment income monthly to common shareholders. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Each Fund records dividends and distributions to its shareholders on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These "book-tax" differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions of paid-in capital in excess of par.
(e) Futures Contracts
A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities, equal to the minimum "initial margin" requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and the underlying hedged assets, and the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.
(f) Option Transactions
The Funds may purchase and write (sell) put and call options on securities for hedging purposes, risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategy. The risk associated with purchasing an option is that the Funds pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. Additionally, the Funds bear the risk of loss of premium and change in market value should the counterparty not perform under the contract. Put and call options purchased are accounted for in the same manner as portfolio securities. The cost of securities acquired through the exercise of call options is increased by the premiums paid. The proceeds from securities sold through the exercise of put options is decreased by the premiums paid. When an option is written, the premium received is recorded as an asset with an equal liability which is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written. These liabilities are reflected as options written in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums received from writing options which expire unexercised are recorded on the expiration date as a realized gain. The difference between the premium received and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain, or if the premium is less than the amount paid for the closing purchased transactions, as a realized loss. If a call option written by the Fund is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying security in determining whether there has been a realized gain or loss. If a put option written by the Fund is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security. In writing an option, the Funds bear the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Exercise of a written option could result in the Funds purchasing a security at a price different from its current market value.
(g) Residual Interest Municipal Bonds ("RIBS")/Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds ("RITES")
The Funds invest in RIBS and RITES whose interest rates bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. RIBS and RITES are created by dividing the income stream provided by the underlying bonds to create two securities, one short-term and one long-term. The interest rate on the short-term component is reset by an index or auction process normally every seven to 35 days. After income is paid on the short-term securities at current rates, the residual income from the underlying bond(s) goes to the long-term securities. Therefore, rising short-term interest rates result in lower income for the longer-term portion, and visa versa. The longer-term bonds may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity. Investments in RIBS and RITES typically will involve greater risk than an investment in a fixed-rate bond. The Funds may also invest in RIBS and RITES for the purpose of increasing their leverage.
(h) When-Issued/Delayed-Delivery Transactions
The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis. The transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell securities for a predetermined price or yield, with payment and delivery taking place
10.31.05 | PIMCO Municipal Income Funds Semi-Annual Report 27
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
beyond the customary settlement period. When delayed-delivery purchases are outstanding, the Funds will set aside and maintain until the settlement date in a designated account, liquid assets in an amount sufficient to meet the purchase price. When purchasing a security on a delayed-delivery basis, the Funds assume the rights and risks of ownership of the security, including the risk of price and yield fluctuations, and takes such fluctuations into account when determining its net asset value. The Funds may dispose of or renegotiate a delayed-delivery transaction after it is entered into, and may sell when-issued securities before they are delivered, which may result in a realized gain or loss. When a security on a delayed-delivery basis is sold, the Fund does not participate in future gains and losses with respect to the security.
(i) Custody Credits Earned on Cash Balances
The Funds benefit from an expense offset arrangement with their custodian bank whereby uninvested cash balances earn credits which reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been invested in income producing securities, they would have generated income for the Funds.
2. Investment Manager /Sub-Adviser
Each Fund has entered into an Investment Management Agreement (the ("Agreements") with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision by each Fund's Board of Trustees, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Fund's investment activities, business affairs and other administrative matters. Pursuant to the Agreements, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of 0.65% of each Fund's average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding. In order to reduce each Fund's expenses, the Investment Manager has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment management fee for each Fund at the annual rate of 0.20% of each Fund's average daily net assets, including net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding, from the commencement of operations through June 30, 2006, and for a declining amount thereafter through June 30, 2009.
The Investment Manager has retained its affiliate, Pacific Investment Management Company LLC (the "Sub-Adviser") to manage each Fund's investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser makes all investment decisions for the Funds. The Investment Manager, not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services, at the maximum annual rate of 0.37%of each Funds average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding. The Sub-Adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the fees it is entitled to receive from the Investment Manager, such that the Sub-Adviser will receive 0.25% of each Fund's average daily net assets, including net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding, from the commencement of the Funds' operations through June 30, 2006, and will receive an increasing amount not to exceed 0.37% of each Fund's average daily net assets, including net assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be outstanding thereafter through June 30, 2009.

7. Legal Proceedings
On September 13, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") announced that the Investment Manager and two affiliates of the Investment Manager, PEA Capital LLC and PA Fund Distributors, LLC (the "Affiliates") had agreed to a settlement of charges that they and certain of their officers had, among other things, violated various antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws in connection with an alleged market-timing arrangement involving trading of shares of certain open-end investment companies ("open-end funds") advised or distributed by these certain affiliates. In their settlement with the Commission, the Affiliates consented to the entry of an order by the Commission and, without admitting or denying the findings contained in the order, agreed to

7. Legal Proceedings (continued)
implement certain compliance and governance changes and consented to cease-and-desist orders and censures. In addition, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates agreed to pay civil money penalties in the aggregate amount of $40 million and to pay disgorgement in the amount of $10 million, for an aggregate payment of $50 million. In connection with the settlement, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates have been dismissed from the related complaint the Commission filed on May 6, 2004 in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York. Neither the complaint nor the order alleges any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
In a related action on June 1, 2004, the Attorney General of the State of New Jersey ("NJAG") announced that it had entered into a settlement agreement with Allianz Global and the Affiliates, in connection with a complaint filed by the NJAG on February 17, 2004. In the settlement, Allianz Global and other named affiliates neither admitted nor denied the allegations or conclusions of law, but did agree to pay New Jersey a civil fine of $15 million and $3 million for investigative costs and further potential enforcement initiatives against unrelated parties. They also undertook to implement certain governance changes. The complaint relating to the settlement contained allegations arising out of the same matters that were the subject of the Commission order regarding market-timing described above and does not allege any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
On September 15, 2004, the Commission announced that the Investment Manager and the Affiliates had agreed to settle an enforcement action in connection with charges that they violated various antifraud and other provisions of federal securities laws as a result of, among other things, their failure to disclose to the board of trustees and shareholders of various open-end funds advised or distributed by the Affiliates material facts and conflicts of interest that arose from their use of brokerage commissions on portfolio transactions to pay for so-called "shelf space" arrangements with certain broker-dealers. In their settlement with the Commission, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates consented to the entry of an order by the Commission without admitting or denying the findings contained in the order. In connection with the settlement, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates agreed to undertake certain compliance and disclosure reforms and consented to cease-and-desist orders and censures. In addition, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates agreed to pay a civil money penalty of $5 million and to pay disgorgement of approximately $6.6 million based upon the aggregate amount of brokerage commissions alleged to have been paid by such open-end funds in connection with these shelf-space arrangements (and related interest). In a related action, the California Attorney General announced on September 15, 2004 that it had entered into an agreement with one of the Affiliates of the Investment Manager in resolution of an investigation into matters that are similar to those discussed in the Commission order. The settlement agreement resolves matters described in a complaint filed contemporaneously by the California Attorney General in the Superior Court of the State of California alleging, among other things, that this Affiliate violated certain antifraud provisions of California law by failing to disclose matters related to the shelf-space arrangements described above. In the settlement agreement, the Affiliate did not admit to any liability but agreed to pay $5 million in civil penalties and $4 million in recognition of the California Attorney General's fees and costs associated with the investigation and related matters. Neither the Commission order nor the California Attorney General's complaint alleges any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
On April 11, 2005, the Attorney General of the State of West Virginia filed a complaint in the Circuit Court of Marshall County, West Virginia (the "West Virginia Complaint") against the Investment Manager and the Affiliates based on the same circumstances as those cited in the 2004 settlements with the Commission and NJAG involving alleged "market timing" activities described above. The West Virginia Complaint alleges, among other things, that the Investment Manager and the Affiliates improperly allowed broker-dealers, hedge funds and investment advisors to engage in frequent trading of various open-end funds advised or distributed by the Investment Manager and the Affiliates in violation of the funds' restrictions on "market timing." The West Virginia Complaint also names numerous other defendants unaffiliated with the Investment Manager and the Affiliates in separate claims alleging improper market timing and/or late trading of open-ended investment companies advised or distributed by such other defendants. The Investment Manager and the Affiliates and the unaffiliated mutual fund defendants removed the proceeding to federal court, and on October 19, 2005, the action was transferred to the Multi-District Litigation for market-timing related actions currently pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, which is described below. The West Virginia Complaint seeks injunctive relief, civil monetary penalties, investigative costs and attorney's fees. The West Virginia Complaint does not allege that any inappropriate activity took place with respect to the Fund.
Since February 2004, the Investment Manager and the Affiliates and certain other affiliates of the Investment Manager and their employees have been named as defendants in a total of 14 lawsuits filed in one of the following: U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York, the Central District of California and the Districts of New Jersey and Connecticut. Ten of those lawsuits concern "market timing," and they have been transferred to and
10.31.05 | PIMCO Municipal Income Funds Semi-Annual Report 31
7. Legal Proceedings (continued)
consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in a multi-District litigation, the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland; the remaining four lawsuits concern "revenue sharing" with brokers offering "shelf space" and have been consolidated into a single action in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut. The lawsuits have been commenced as putative class actions on behalf of investors who purchased, held or redeemed shares of affiliated funds during specified periods or as derivative actions on behalf of the funds.
The lawsuits generally relate to the same facts that are the subject of the regulatory proceedings discussed above. The lawsuits seek, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages plus interest and, in some cases, punitive damages, the rescission of investment advisory contracts, the return of fees paid under those contracts and restitution. The Investment Manager believes that other similar lawsuits may be filed in federal or state courts naming as defendants the Investment Adviser, the Affiliates, Allianz Global, the Funds, other open- and closed-end funds advised or distributed by the Investment Manager and/or its affiliates, the boards of directors or trustees of those funds, and/or other affiliates and their employees.
Under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act, if any of the various regulatory proceedings or lawsuits were to result in a court injunction against the Investment Manager, Allianz Global/or their affiliates, they and their affiliates would, in the absence of exemptive relief granted by the Commission, be barred from serving as an investment manager/sub-adviser or principal underwriter for any registered investment company, including the Funds. In connection with an inquiry from the Commission concerning the status of the New Jersey settlement described above under Section 9(a), the Investment Manager and certain of its affiliates (together, the "Applicants") have sought exemptive relief from the Commission under Section 9(c) of the 1940 Act. The Commission has granted the Applicants a temporary exemption from the provisions of Section 9(a) with respect to the New Jersey settlement until the earlier of (i) September 13, 2006 and (ii) the date on which the Commission takes final action on their application for a permanent order. There is no assurance that the Commission will issue a permanent order. There is no assurance that the SEC will issue a permanent order. If the West Virginia Attorney General were to obtain a court injunction against the Investment Manager or the Affiliates, the Investment Manager or the Affiliates would, in turn, seek exemptive relief under Section 9(c) with respect to that matter, although there is no assurance that such exemptive relief would be granted.
A putative class action lawsuit captioned Charles Mutchka et al. v. Brent R. Harris, et al., filed in January 2005 by and on behalf of individual shareholders of certain open-end funds that hold equity securities for which the Investment Manager serves as investment advisor. The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California dismissed the action with prejudice in June 2005. The plaintiff alleged that fund trustees, investment advisers and affiliates breached fiduciary duties and duties of care by failing to ensure that the open-end funds participated in securities class action settlements for which those funds were eligible. The plaintiff claimed as damages disgorgement of fees paid to the investment advisers, compensatory damages and punitive damages.
The foregoing speaks only as of the date hereof. There may be additional litigation or regulatory developments in connection with the matters discussed above.

The Investment Company Act of 1940 requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the "Trustees") and a majority of the non-interested ("independent") Trustees, voting separately, annually approve the continuation of the Funds' Investment Management Agreement with the Investment Manager and Portfolio Management Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (together, the "Agreements"). The Trustees consider matters bearing on the Funds and its investment management arrangements at their meetings throughout the year, including a review of performance data at each regular meeting. In addition, the Trustees met on June 15 and 16, 2005 (the "contract review meeting") for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Investment Management Agreement and the Portfolio Management Agreement. The independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from the Funds' management during the contract review meeting.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, unanimously concluded that the Funds' Investment Management Agreement and Portfolio Management Agreement should be continued for an additional one-year period.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements.
In connection with their contract review meeting, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of each Fund for various time periods and the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives, (ii) information provided by Lipper Inc. on the Funds' management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, including institutional separate account and other clients, (iv) an estimate of the profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Funds for the twelve months ended March 31, 2005, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Funds, such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds.
The Trustees' conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees' deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, giving different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Manager's and Sub-Adviser's abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Funds. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Manager's and Sub-Adviser's services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Funds; and conditions that might affect the Investment Manager's or Sub-Adviser's ability to provide high quality services to the Funds in the future under the Agreements, including each organization's respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Adviser's investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to the Funds given their investment objectives and policies, and that the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser would be able to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

Based on information provided by Lipper Inc., the Trustees also reviewed the Funds' total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding the Funds' performance. After reviewing these and related factors, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that they were satisfied with the Investment Manager's and Sub-Adviser's responses and efforts relating to investment performance.
In assessing the reasonableness of the Funds' fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, the Funds' management fee and the total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper Inc.
The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by the Sub-Adviser to other clients, including institutional separate accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. They noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by these clients of the Sub-Adviser, but that the administrative burden for the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds are also relatively higher, due in part to the more extensive regulatory regime to which the Funds are subject in comparison to institutional accounts. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end Funds but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Funds such as the use of leverage and meeting a regular dividend. The Trustees noted that Municipal Income had outperformed its peer group for the one-year and three-year periods ended May 31, 2005 and ranked in the top decile for the year-to-date period ended May 31, 2005 in total return. The Trustees also noted that Municipal Income's expense ratio (after taking into account waivers) was below the median and average for its peer group. The Trustees noted that California Municipal Income had outperformed its peer group for the one-year and year-to-date periods ended May 31, 2005 in total return although its three year performance was in the fourth quintile. The Trustees also noted that California Municipal Income's expense ratio was below the median and average for its peer group. The Trustees noted that New York Municipal Income had outperformed its peer group for the one-year and year-to-date periods ended May 31, 2005 in total return although its three year performance was in the fourth quartile. The Trustees also noted that New York Municipal Income's expense ratio was slightly above the average and slightly below the median for its peer group.
The Trustees also took into account that the Funds have preferred shares outstanding, which increases the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on the Funds' total managed assets, including assets attributable to preferred shares and other forms of leverage outstanding). In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Funds to continue to have preferred shares outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, on one hand, and the Funds' common shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser indicating that the Funds' use of leverage through preferred shares continues to be appropriate and in the interests of the Fund's common shareholders.
Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the estimated profitability of the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Funds and determined that such profitability was not excessive.
The Trustees also took into account that, as closed-end investment companies, the Funds do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Funds will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of the Funds. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called "fall-out benefits" to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as investment manager and sub-adviser to the Funds.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.
