The Trust invests primarily in debt securities issued by California municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at February 28, 2006, 55.1% of the securities in the portfolio of investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution ranged from 0.2% to 19.8% of total investments.

(1)

Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. At February 28, 2006, the aggregate value of the securities is $22,017,850 or 19.2% of the Trust’s net assets applicable to common shares.

(2)

Security has been issued as an inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at February 28, 2006.

(3)

Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover when-issued securities.

(4)

Security has been issued as a leveraged inverse floater bond. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at February 28, 2006.

(5)

Security (or a portion thereof) has been segregated to cover margin requirements on open financial futures contracts.

(6)
