 (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.
