 (a) Net assets are inclusive of Preferred Shares issuance of $150
     million and $63 million for California Municipal Income and
     New York Municipal Income, 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
     modestly 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 July 31, 2007.

 (d) Calculated using the average fiscal year-to-date month-end
     balances for the three months ended July 31, 2006.
