Chairman's
LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Photo of: Timothy R. Schwertfeger

Timothy R. Schwertfeger
Chairman of the Board

Every year I sign a shareholder letter that carries a date viewed by many with
concern or dread. But you, and thousands like you, have learned that the
tax-free income provided by your Nuveen Fund can help make April 15th a little
less onerous. So, once again, I am pleased to report that over the six-month
period covered by this report your Fund continued to provide you with attractive
monthly tax-free income. For more details about the management strategy and
performance of your Fund, please read the Portfolio Manager's Comments, the
Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information, and the Performance Overview
sections of this report.

I also wanted to update you on some important news about Nuveen Investments. In
late 2007, the firm was acquired by a group led by Madison Dearborn Partners,
LLC. While this affected the corporate structure of Nuveen Investments, it had
no impact on the investment objectives, portfolio management strategies or
dividend policy of your Fund.

With the recent volatility in the stock market, many have begun to wonder which
way the market is headed, and whether they need to adjust their holdings of
investments. No one knows what the future will bring, which is why we think a
well-balanced portfolio that is structured and carefully monitored with the help
of an investment professional is an important component in achieving your long
term financial goals. A well-diversified portfolio may actually help to reduce
your overall investment risk, and we believe that investments like your Nuveen
Investments Fund can be important building blocks in a portfolio crafted to
perform well through a variety of market conditions.

We also are pleased to be able to offer you a choice concerning how you receive
your shareholder reports and other Fund information. As an alternative to mailed
copies, you can sign up to receive future Fund reports and other Fund
information by e-mail and the internet. The inside front cover of this report
contains information on how you can sign up.

We are grateful that you have chosen us as a partner as you pursue your
financial goals and we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the
months and years ahead. At Nuveen Investments, our mission continues to be to
assist you and your financial advisor by offering investment services and
products that can help you to secure your financial objectives.

Sincerely,

Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS

Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds

NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC,
NVX, NZH, NKL, NKX

Portfolio manager Scott Romans examines key investment strategies and the
six-month performance of the Nuveen California Municipal Funds. Scott, who
joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX since 2003.
He assumed portfolio management responsibility for NPC and NCL in 2005.

WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE
SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2008?

During this period, the municipal market experienced a great deal of volatility,
as factors related to the sub-prime mortgage crisis had an indirect, but
important, influence on the municipal market's performance. As the market moved
from rally to slump and back again, we sought to take advantage of this
environment by tailoring our investment strategies appropriately. Overall, we
believed the Funds were well structured going into this period. When interest
rates were low, we continued to invest conservatively by purchasing defensive,
high credit quality bonds that we believed would hold their value well when
interest rates eventually rose. When disruptions in the financial markets
triggered a backup in interest rates and the market discounted lower-quality and
higher-yielding bonds, we took a more opportunistic approach to investing. That
entailed selling some of the Funds' higher-rated defensive positions and buying
lower-rated bonds at attractive levels relative to their credit quality (in the
Funds that can hold such bonds) or taking positions in higher-yielding bonds in
order to capture the yield advantage of the increase in rates.

The Funds also found ample opportunities to sell some holdings that were
purchased when yields were lower and replace them with similar, newer credits
that yielded comparatively more. This process enabled us to maintain the Funds'
current portfolio characteristics while strengthening their future income
streams.

Over the course of the entire reporting period, we saw the municipal yield curve
steepen, as municipal bond interest rates at the short end of the curve declined
while longer-term rates rose. In this environment, we continued to emphasize a
disciplined approach to duration1 management. As part of this strategy, we used
inverse floating rate securities,2 a type of derivative financial instrument, in
all eight of these Funds. Inverse floaters typically provide the dual benefit of
lengthening the Funds' durations to



1    Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
     change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
     changes than bonds with shorter durations.

2    An inverse floating rate security is a financial instrument designed to pay
     long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a
     short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index
     typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM)
     Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association
     Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate
     securities in which the Funds invested during the reporting period, are
     further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of
     Terms Used in This Report sections of this shareholder report.

not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The views expressed
in this commentary represent those of the portfolio manager as of the date of
this report and are subject to change at any time, based on market conditions

be closer to our strategic target and enhancing their income-generation
capabilities, albeit while adding risk to the portfolio.

The Funds also employed two other types of derivative financial instruments:
forward interest rate swaps, which were used in all eight Funds, and futures
contracts, which were used in NZH. The goal of these strategies was to help us
manage the net asset value (NAV) volatility of these Funds without having a
negative impact on their income streams or common share dividends over the short
term. During this period, we believed that our use of these derivatives had
largely accomplished this goal, and we removed the interest rate swaps from NPC,
NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, NKL, and NKX and the futures contracts from NZH. As of
February 29, 2008, NZH continued to hold forward interest rate swap positions.

3    The Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged,
     unmanaged index comprising a broad range of investment-grade California
     municipal bonds, while the Lehman Brothers Insured California Tax-Exempt
     Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged index containing a broad range of
     insured California municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not
     reflect any expenses.

4    The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the
     returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
     follows: 6 months, 24; 1 year, 24; 5 years, 24; and 10 years, 12. Fund and
     Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.

5    The Lipper Insured California Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated
     using the returns of all closed-end funds in its category for each period
     as follows: 6 months, 13; 1 year, 13; 5 years, 13; and 10 years, 7. Fund
     and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.


                                       5



For the six months ended February 29, 2008, the cumulative returns on NAV for
NCU, NAC, NVX, and NZH underperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers
California Tax-Exempt Bond Index, and the six-month returns for NPC, NCL, NKL,
and NKX lagged the return on the Lehman Brothers Insured California Tax-Exempt
Bond Index. All of the Funds in this report except NZH exceeded the average
return for their respective Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average.

The two most significant factors in the Funds' performance were
leverage-adjusted duration and the use of derivatives. Sector and credit
allocations and holdings of bonds backed by certain municipal bond insurers also
influenced the Funds' returns on common share NAV.

During this six-month period, bonds in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index
with maturities of less than six years, especially those maturing in
approximately three years, benefited the most from changes in the interest rate
environment. As a result, these shorter-maturity bonds generally outperformed
credits with longer maturities. Bonds having the longest maturities (22 years
and longer) posted the worst returns. In this market environment, NVX and NPC
benefited from the fact that their durations were shorter than those of the
other six Funds in this report, while NCL and NZH had the longest durations
among these Funds.

As mentioned earlier, all eight of these Funds used forward interest rate swaps,
and NAC and NZH also used futures contracts. In seven of the Funds (all except
NZH), these derivative instruments were used to synthetically extend the Funds'
durations and move them closer to our strategic duration target. Despite the
fact that longer-duration instruments performed relatively poorly, the common
share return performances of these seven Funds were actually positively impacted
by the use of derivatives. This was due to the fact that the derivatives
provided exposure to taxable markets during a period when, in contrast to
historical trends, the Treasury market and the municipal market moved in the
opposite directions. As municipal market performance lagged the significant
gains made by Treasuries, these forward interest rate swaps and futures
contracts performed very well, benefiting the seven Funds in direct proportion
to the amount of derivatives used. For example, since NVX and NPC had the
shortest durations among these Funds, they made the greatest use of forward
interest rate swap transactions and benefited the most from their use.


                                       6



However, in NZH, which had a duration that exceeded our target, the derivatives
were used to synthetically shorten duration. These positions, which reduced
duration in the outperforming taxable markets, hurt the Fund's performance. In
addition, the inverse floaters used by all eight of these Funds had a negative
impact on performance. This resulted from the fact that the inverse floaters
effectively increased the Funds' exposure to longer maturity bonds during a
period when shorter maturities were in favor in the market. However, the inverse
floaters also benefited the Funds by helping to support their income streams.

Sectors of the market that generally contributed to the Funds' performances
included resource recovery, special tax, water and sewer, and electric
utilities. Pre-refunded6 bonds performed exceptionally well, due primarily to
their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. Among these eight
Funds, NPC and NVX had the heaviest allocations of pre-refunded bonds.

On the other hand, bonds that carried any credit risk, regardless of sector,
tended to perform poorly. Revenue bonds as a whole, and specifically the
industrial development and health care sectors that had ranked among the top
performers in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index over the past few years,
underperformed the general municipal market. Lower credit quality bonds (bonds
rated BBB or below) and non-rated bonds also posted poor returns. Credits backed
by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement generally underperformed as
well, due to the overall lower credit quality of the tobacco sector as well as
the ample supply of these bonds. The performance of the California Funds was
also hurt by their holdings of zero coupon bonds as well as their small
positions in gas prepayment contracts for certain municipalities.

Another factor that had an impact on the performance of the California Funds was
their position in bonds backed by certain municipal insurers. All of these Funds
had exposure to bonds insured by XL Capital Assurance (XLCA) and Financial
Guaranty Insurance Company (FGIC). NKL also had a very small position in bonds
insured by ACA Financial Guaranty Corporation (ACA), which was downgraded to CCC
from A in December 2007. As concern increased about the balance sheets of
municipal bond insurers, prices on bonds insured by these companies declined,
detracting from the performance of the Funds. At the same time, all of these
Funds had holdings of bonds backed by Financial Security Assurance (FSA), which
held their value well. The


6    Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur
     when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
     interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
     lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.


                                       7



California Funds that had heavier exposures to FSA-backed bonds relative to the
general market benefited from this good performance. As a whole, the holdings of
our Funds continued to be well diversified between insured and uninsured bonds
and within the insured bond category.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES AND FUND POLICY CHANGES

The Portfolios of Investments reflect the ratings on certain bonds insured by
Ambac, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29,
2008, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for Ambac-insured bonds to
AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for FGIC-insured
and XLCA-insured bonds. As of February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies
have placed each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future. If one
or more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely
reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that insurer or
insurers. It is important to note that municipal bonds historically have had a
very low rate of default.

During March 2008, the Nuveen funds' Board of Directors/Trustees approved
changes to the investment policies of all the Nuveen insured municipal
closed-end fund. The new policies require that (1) at least 80% of the fund's
net assets be invested in insured municipal bonds guaranteed by insurers rated
"A" or better by at least one rating agency at the time of purchase; (2) at
least 80% of the fund's net assets must be invested in municipal bonds rated
"AA" or better by at least one rating agency (with or without insurance), deemed

containing sufficient U.S. Government or Government agency securities at the
time of purchase; and (3) up to 20% of the fund's net assets may be invested in
uninsured municipal bonds rated "A" to "BBB" by at least one rating agency or
deemed to be of comparable quality by the Adviser at the time of purchase. These
policy changes are designed to increase portfolio manager flexibility and retain
the insured nature of the funds' investment portfolios for current and future
environments. Some funds may require shareholder approval prior to implementing

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED MARKETS

Beginning in February 2008, more shares were submitted for sale in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the auction preferred shares issued by these Funds than
there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear" and
that many or all auction preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares
in these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction
preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auctioned
preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate" calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the
auctioned preferred shares. At the time this report was prepared, the Funds'
managers could not predict when future auctions might succeed in attracting
sufficient buyers for the shares offered, if ever. The Funds' managers are
working diligently to develop mechanisms designed to improve the liquidity of
the auctioned preferred shares, or to restructure them, but at present there is
no assurance that these efforts will succeed. These developments generally do
not affect the management or investment policies of these Funds. However, one
implication of these auction failures for common shareholders is that the Funds'
cost of leverage will be higher than it otherwise would have been had the
auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future common share
earnings may be lower than they otherwise would have been.

Common Share
Dividend and Share Price
                 INFORMATION



All of the Funds in this report use financial leverage. While leverage can add
volatility to a Fund's common share NAV and common share price, this strategy
can also provide opportunities for additional income and total return for common
shareholders. The Funds' use of this strategy continued to provide incremental
income, although the extent of this benefit was reduced to a degree in some of
the Funds by short-term interest rates that remained relatively high during the
earlier part of this period. This, in turn, kept the Funds' borrowing costs
high. The Funds' income streams were also impacted as the proceeds from older,
higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called were reinvested into bonds
then available in the market, which offered lower yields at times during this
period. The combination of these factors resulted in one monthly common share
dividend reduction in NCL, NVX, and NKL over the six-month period ended February
29, 2008. The common share dividends of NPC, NCU, NAC, NZH, and NKX remained
stable throughout this reporting period.

Due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common shareholders
of the following Funds received capital gains and net ordinary income
distributions at the end of December 2007 as follows:

                                         Short-Term Capital Gains
               Long-Term Capital Gains     and/or Ordinary Income
                           (per share)                (per share)

NPC                            $0.0056                    $0.0078
NAC                            $0.0357                         --
NKL                            $0.0223                         --

All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that
reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During
certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less
than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the
period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it
holds the excess in reserve as


                                       10



undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's common share
NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its
earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the
Fund's common share NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net
investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of February 29, 2008, all of
the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances, based upon our best
estimate, for tax purposes. NPC and NCL had positive UNII balances and NCU, NAC,
NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX had negative UNII balances for financial statement
purposes.

As of February 29, 2008, the Funds' common share prices were trading at
discounts to their common share NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart:

(1)  The percentages shown in the foregoing chart reflect the ratings on certain
     bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. As
     explained earlier in the Portfolio Manager's Comments section of this
     report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
     bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
     FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. One or more rating agencies have
     placed each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
     one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future.
     If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
     would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by
     that insurer or insurers, and thereby reduce the percentage of the ratings
     shown in the foregoing chart.

(2)  Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
     fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
     after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
     rate of 34.7%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
     qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

(3)  The Fund paid shareholders capital gains and net ordinary income
     distributions in December 2007 of $0.0134 per share.

(1)  The percentages shown in the foregoing chart reflect the ratings on certain
     bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. As
     explained earlier in the Portfolio Manager's Comments section of this
     report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
     bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
     FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. One or more rating agencies have
     placed each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
     one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future.
     If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
     would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by
     that insurer or insurers, and thereby reduce the percentage of the ratings
     shown in the foregoing chart.

(2)  Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
     fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
     after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
     rate of 34.7%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
     qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

(1)  The percentages shown in the foregoing chart reflect the ratings on certain
     bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. As
     explained earlier in the Portfolio Manager's Comments section of this
     report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
     bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
     FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. One or more rating agencies have
     placed each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
     one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future.
     If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
     would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by
     that insurer or insurers, and thereby reduce the percentage of the ratings
     shown in the foregoing chart.

(2)  Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
     fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
     after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
     rate of 34.7%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
     qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

(3)  The Fund paid shareholders a capital gains distribution in December 2007 of
     $0.0357 per share.

(1)  The percentages shown in the foregoing chart reflect the ratings on certain
     bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. As
     explained earlier in the Portfolio Manager's Comments section of this
     report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
     bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
     FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. One or more rating agencies have
     placed each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
     one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future.
     If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
     would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by
     that insurer or insurers, and thereby reduce the percentage of the ratings
     shown in the foregoing chart.

(2)  Excluding derivative transactions.

(3)  Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
     fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
     after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
     rate of 34.7%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
     qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

(1)  The percentages shown in the foregoing chart reflect the ratings on certain
     bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. As
     explained earlier in the Portfolio Manager's Comments section of this
     report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
     bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
     FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. One or more rating agencies have
     placed each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
     one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future.
     If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
     would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by
     that insurer or insurers, and thereby reduce the percentage of the ratings
     shown in the foregoing chart.

(2)  Taxable-Equivalent Yield represents the yield that must be earned on a
     fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an
     after-tax basis. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
     rate of 34.7%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
     qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.

                ====================================================================================================================

                    As of February 29, 2008, all of the bonds in the Portfolio
                    of Investments, are either covered by Original Issue
                    Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio
                    Insurance, or are backed by an escrow or trust containing
                    sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
                    securities, any of which ensure the timely payment of
                    principal and interest.

               (1)  All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
                    based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
                    otherwise noted.

               (2)  Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
                    of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
                    other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
                    Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
                    periodic principal paydowns.

               (3)  Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
                    ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
                    ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
                    or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
                    grade.

                    The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
                    bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
                    29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
                    rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
                    AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
                    ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
                    February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
                    each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
                    presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
                    insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
                    reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
                    effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
                    insurer or insurers.

               (4)  Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
                    Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
                    the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
                    investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
                    rated securities.

               (5)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
                    total investments is (33.4)%.

             (ETM)  Escrowed to maturity.

              (IF)  Inverse floating rate investment.

                                 See accompanying notes to financial statements.

                ====================================================================================================================

                    As of February 29, 2008, all of the bonds in the Portfolio
                    of Investments, are either covered by Original Issue
                    Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio
                    Insurance, or are backed by an escrow or trust containing
                    sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
                    securities, any of which ensure the timely payment of
                    principal and interest.

               (1)  All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
                    based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
                    otherwise noted.

               (2)  Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
                    of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
                    other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
                    Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
                    periodic principal paydowns.

               (3)  Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
                    ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
                    ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
                    or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
                    grade.

                    The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
                    bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
                    29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
                    rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
                    AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
                    ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
                    February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
                    each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
                    presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
                    insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
                    reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
                    effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
                    insurer or insurers.

               (4)  The issuer has received a formal adverse determination from
                    the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the
                    tax-exempt status of the bonds' coupon payments. The Fund
                    will continue to treat coupon payments as tax-exempt income
                    until such time it is formally determined that the interest
                    on the bonds should be treated as taxable.

               (5)  Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
                    Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
                    the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
                    investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
                    rated securities.

               (6)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
                    total investments is (34.3)%.

             (ETM)  Escrowed to maturity.

              (IF)  Inverse floating rate investment.

              (UB)  Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
                    as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
                    SFAS No. 140.

                ====================================================================================================================

               (1)  All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
                    based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
                    otherwise noted.

               (2)  Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
                    of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
                    other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
                    Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
                    periodic principal paydowns.

               (3)  Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
                    ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
                    ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
                    or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
                    grade.

                    The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
                    bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
                    29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
                    rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
                    AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
                    ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
                    February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
                    each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
                    presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
                    insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
                    reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
                    effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
                    insurer or insurers.

               (4)  Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
                    Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
                    the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
                    investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
                    rated securities.

               (5)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
                    total investments is (36.7)%.

               N/R  Not rated.

             (ETM)  Escrowed to maturity.

              (IF)  Inverse floating rate investment.

              (UB)  Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
                    as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
                    SFAS No. 140.

                ====================================================================================================================

               (1)  All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
                    based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
                    otherwise noted.

               (2)  Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
                    of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
                    other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
                    Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
                    periodic principal paydowns.

               (3)  Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
                    ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
                    ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
                    or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
                    grade.

                    The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
                    bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
                    29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
                    rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
                    AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
                    ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
                    February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
                    each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
                    presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
                    insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
                    reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
                    effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
                    insurer or insurers.

               (4)  Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in
                    good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board of
                    Directors/Trustees.

               (5)  The issuer has received a formal adverse determination from
                    the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the
                    tax-exempt status of the bonds' coupon payments. The Fund
                    will continue to treat coupon payments as tax-exempt income
                    until such time it is formally determined that the interest
                    on the bonds should be treated as taxable.

               (6)  Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
                    Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
                    the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
                    investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
                    rated securities.

               (7)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
                    total investments is (33.2)%.

               N/R  Not rated.

             (ETM)  Escrowed to maturity.

              (UB)  Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
                    as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
                    SFAS No. 140.

                ====================================================================================================================

               (1)  All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
                    based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
                    otherwise noted.

               (2)  Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
                    of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
                    other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
                    Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
                    periodic principal paydowns.

               (3)  Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
                    ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
                    ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
                    or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
                    grade.

                    The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
                    bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
                    29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
                    rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
                    AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
                    ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
                    February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
                    each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
                    presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
                    insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
                    reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
                    effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
                    insurer or insurers.

               (4)  Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
                    Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
                    the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
                    investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
                    rated securities.

               (5)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
                    total investments is (34.5)%.

               N/R  Not rated.

              (IF)  Inverse floating rate investment.

              (UB)  Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
                    as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
                    SFAS No. 140.

====================================================================================================================================
USD-LIBOR (United States Dollar-London Inter-Bank Offered Rate).

               (1)  All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
                    based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
                    otherwise noted.

               (2)  Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
                    of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
                    other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
                    Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
                    periodic principal paydowns.

               (3)  Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
                    ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
                    ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
                    or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
                    grade.

                    The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
                    bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
                    29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
                    rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
                    AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
                    ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
                    February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
                    each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
                    presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
                    insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
                    reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
                    effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
                    insurer or insurers.

               (4)  Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
                    Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
                    the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
                    investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
                    rated securities.

               (5)  Portion of investment, with an aggregate market value of
                    $1,935,190, has been pledged to collateralize the net
                    payment obligations under forward swap contracts.

               (6)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
                    total investments is (38.0)%.

               (7)  Effective date represents the date on which both the Fund
                    and counterparty commence interest payment accruals on each
                    forward swap contract.

               N/R  Not rated.

              (IF)  Inverse floating rate investment.

                ====================================================================================================================

                    As of February 29, 2008, at least 80% of the Fund's net
                    assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred
                    shares) are invested in municipal securities that are either
                    covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market
                    Insurance or Portfolio Insurance which ensures the timely
                    payment of principal and interest. Up to 20% of the Fund's
                    net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred
                    shares) may be invested in municipal securities that are (i)
                    either backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient
                    U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities (also
                    ensuring the timely payment of principal and interest), or
                    (ii) rated, at the time of investment, within the four
                    highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, Standard &
                    Poor's or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable
                    quality by the Adviser.

               (1)  All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
                    based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
                    otherwise noted.

               (2)  Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
                    of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
                    other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
                    Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
                    periodic principal paydowns.

               (3)  Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
                    ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
                    ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
                    or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
                    grade.

                    The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
                    bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
                    29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
                    rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
                    AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
                    ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
                    February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
                    each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
                    presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
                    insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
                    reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
                    effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
                    insurer or insurers.

               (4)  Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
                    Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
                    the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
                    investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
                    rated securities.

               (5)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
                    total investments is (36.1)%.

               N/R  Not rated.

             (ETM)  Escrowed to maturity.

              (IF)  Inverse floating rate investment.

               (1)  All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
                    based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
                    otherwise noted.

               (2)  Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
                    of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
                    other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
                    Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
                    periodic principal paydowns.

               (3)  Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
                    ("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
                    ("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
                    or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
                    grade.

                    The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
                    bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
                    29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
                    rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
                    AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
                    ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
                    February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
                    each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
                    presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
                    insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
                    reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
                    effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
                    insurer or insurers.

               (4)  Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
                    Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
                    the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
                    investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
                    rated securities.

               (5)  Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
                    total investments is (39.2)%.

              (IF)  Inverse floating rate investment.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock
exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund,
Inc. (NPC), Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc.
(NCL), Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund (NCU), Nuveen California
Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAC), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage
Municipal Fund 2 (NVX), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3
(NZH), Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKL) and
Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NKX) (collectively,
the "Funds"). Common shares of Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured
California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and California Dividend Advantage (NAC) are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of California Premium
Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend
Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured
California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) are traded on the American Stock Exchange.
The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended,
as closed-end management investment companies.

Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free
Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by
investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued
by state and local government authorities within the state of California or
certain U.S. territories.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the
Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

Investment Valuation

The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided
by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. When
market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for
municipal securities), the pricing service may establish fair value based on
yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue,
coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers,
evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market
conditions. Prices of forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent
pricing service approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Futures
contracts are valued using the closing settlement price, or in the absence or
such a price, at the mean of the bid and asked prices. If the pricing service is
unable to supply a price for a municipal bond, forward swap or futures contract,
each Fund may use market quotes provided by major broker/dealers in such
investments. If it is determined that the market price for an investment or
derivative instrument is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish fair value in
accordance with procedures established in good faith by the Board of
Directors/Trustees. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate
and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates market value.

Investment Transactions

Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended
settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market
fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to
segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the
when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At February 29, 2008, there
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the Funds.

Investment Income

Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.

Income Taxes

Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore,


                                       73


Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)



each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from
municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state
income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders
of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid
by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.

Effective February 29, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes"
(FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be
recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN
48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be
taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., a greater than 50-percent likelihood) of being
sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the
more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax benefit or expense in the
current year.

Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open
tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major
jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are
those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the
last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have
no examinations in progress.

For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the
reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and
concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net assets
or results of operations as of and during the six months ended February 29,
2008.

The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change in the next twelve months.

Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders

Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net
realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if
any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually.
Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed
available capital loss carryforwards.

Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net
realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the
ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in
accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

Preferred Shares

The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each
Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process
overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period.
The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each
Fund is as follows:

================================================================================

Insurance

During the six months ended February 29, 2008, Insured California Premium Income
(NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) invested only in municipal
securities which were either covered by insurance or are backed by an escrow or
trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency
securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest.

During the six months ended February 29, 2008, Insured California Dividend
Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invested at
least 80% of their net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred
shares) in municipal securities that were covered by insurance. Each Fund may
have also invested up to 20% of its net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which were either (i)
backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities, or (ii) rated, at the time of investment, within
the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or
unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by Nuveen Asset Management (the
"Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen").

Effective March 20, 2008, pursuant to action taken by the Funds' Board of
Directors/Trustees, under normal circumstances, Insured California Dividend
Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) must invest at
least 80% of their net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred
shares) in municipal securities which are either covered by insurance or backed
by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S.
Government agency securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of
principal and interest. For purposes of this 80% test, insurers must have a
claims paying ability rated at least A at the time of purchase. In addition,
each Fund must invest at least 80% of their net assets (including net assets
attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are rated at
least AA at the time of purchase. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of their
net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal
securities rated below AA (based on the higher rating of the insurer, if any, or
the underlying bond) or are unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by
the Adviser.

The foregoing policy changes will be implemented in Insured California Premium
Income (NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) pending shareholder
approval.

Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance,
Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not
guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the
Funds' Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance
remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain
outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds
ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value
of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary
Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio
Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are
held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the
market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net
asset value of the Funds include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio
Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds
the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security
covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale.

Inverse Floating Rate Securities

Each Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating
rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed
interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn,
this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some
fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market value, that typically pay
short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a
long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate
certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that represents all
remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse
floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating
rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder
bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk and
also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be
more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is
dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on
the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the
inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater
face value of the underlying bond.

A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). A Fund may also enter into shortfall and
forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit
recovery


                                       75



Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)



swap") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the
broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the
liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation
value of the floating rate certificates, as well as any shortfalls in interest
cash flows. The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to
cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at
par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust
to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an
externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as an "Inverse floating rate investment". An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater, recourse trust or credit recovery swap is
accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such
instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Underlying bond of an inverse
floating rate trust", with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate
certificates issued by the trust as "Floating rate obligations" on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income
the entire earnings of the underlying bond and accounts for the related interest
paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as "Interest
expense on floating rate obligations" in the Statement of Operations.

During the six months ended February 29, 2008, each Fund invested in externally
deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.

The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the six months
ended February 29, 2008, were as follows:

Forward Swap Transactions

Each Fund is authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions.
Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help
the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer,
generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that
of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve
each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or
variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a
variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a
specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment
obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the
termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of
the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the
extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the
swap's termination


                                       76


date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap contract prior to
the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a
forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of
securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in
cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to terminate its
forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with
respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit
risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any
realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To reduce such credit risk, all
counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily
valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal
to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold.
Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract,
the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as
collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss
above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and
subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate, either up or
down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount. California Dividend
Advantage 3 (NZH) was the only Fund to invest in forward interest rate swap
transactions during the six months ended February 29, 2008.

Futures Contracts

Each Fund is authorized to invest in futures contracts. Upon entering into a
futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of
cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract
amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation
margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily
fluctuation of the value of the contract.

During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the
contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on
a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. When the
contract is closed or expired, a Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to
the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value
of the contract when originally entered into. Cash held by the broker to cover
initial margin requirements on open futures contracts, if any, is recognized in
the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Additionally, the Statement of Assets
and Liabilities reflects a receivable or payable for the variation margin when
applicable. California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) was the only Fund to invest in
futures contracts during the six months ended February 29, 2008.

Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement
of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that
there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a
change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value
of the underlying securities or indices.

Zero Coupon Securities

Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon
security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from
accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security
at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.

Custodian Fee Credit

Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which a Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.

Indemnifications

Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Directors/Trustees
are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of
their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the
Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other
parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this
would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet
occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and
decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, timing differences
in recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing
certain gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of
investments in inverse floating rate transactions subject to SFAS No.140. To the
extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are
reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities presented in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis
treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and
permanent differences do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

At February 29, 2008, the cost of investments was as follows:

5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the
Adviser, and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets
within each individual Fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund
shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as
well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser.

The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the
average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares)
of each Fund as follows:

                                         INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NPC)

(1)  The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
     calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
     the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
     preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of
     Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.

The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and
administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no
compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with
the Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their
services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of
Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent
Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/Trustees to elect to defer receipt of
all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from
certain Nuveen advised funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as
though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised
funds.

For the first ten years of California Dividend Advantage's (NAC) operations, the
Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net
assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and
expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below:

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 20, 2007, Nuveen Investments announced that it had entered into a
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Windy City
Investments, Inc. ("Windy City"), a corporation formed by investors led by
Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("Madison Dearborn"), pursuant to which Windy
City would acquire Nuveen Investments. Madison Dearborn is a private equity
investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The merger was consummated on
November 13, 2007.

The consummation of the merger was deemed to be an "assignment" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the investment management
agreement between each Fund and the Adviser, and resulted in the automatic
termination of each Fund's agreement. The Board of Directors/Trustees of each
Fund considered and approved a new investment management agreement with the
Adviser on the same terms as the previous agreements. Each new ongoing
agreement, was approved by the shareholders of each Fund and took effect on
November 13, 2007.

The investors led by Madison Dearborn includes an affiliate of Merrill Lynch. As
a result, Merrill Lynch is an indirect "affiliated person" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of each Fund. Certain conflicts
of interest may arise as a result of such indirect affiliation. For example, the
Funds are generally prohibited from entering into principal transactions with
Merrill Lynch and its affiliates. The Adviser does not believe that any such
prohibitions or limitations as a result of Merrill Lynch's affiliation will
significantly impact the ability of the Funds to pursue their investment
objectives and policies.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)



6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires
additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to
fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the
application of this standard relate to the definition of fair value, the methods
used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value
measurements. As of February 29, 2008, management does not believe the adoption
of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements included within the Statement of
Operations for the period.

Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended to enhance
financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of
February 29, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will
impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures
may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.

7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Auction Rate Preferred Markets

Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds than there were
offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear,'' and that many
Preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares in these auctions were
unable to do so. Preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received
distributions at the "maximum rate'' calculated in accordance with the
pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.

These developments generally do not affect the management or investment policies
of the Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for Common
shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will be higher than it
otherwise would have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a
result, the Funds' future Common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise
would have been.

The Funds declared Common share dividend distributions from their tax-exempt net
investment income which were paid on April 1, 2008, to shareholders of record on

*    Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
     price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
     capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
     the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
     is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
     assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
     reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
     over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
     price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
     used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

     Total Return on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes
     in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset
     value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if
     any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on
     the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested
     at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last
     dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market
     price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from
     the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

**   After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.

***  Annualized.

**** Distributions from Capital Gains to Preferred Shareholders rounds to less
     than $.01 per share.

+    The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.

++   Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
     shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
     Preferred shares.

(a)  Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
     inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
     described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

(b)  For the six months ended February 29, 2008.

*    Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
     price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
     capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
     the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
     is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
     assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
     reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
     over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
     price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
     used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized. Total Return on
     Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes in Common share
     net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset value and
     reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if any. The last
     dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on the first
     business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested at the
     ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last dividend
     declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market price (and
     not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from the price
     used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

**   After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.

***  Annualized.

+    The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.

++   Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
     shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
     Preferred shares.

(a)  Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
     inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
     described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

(b)  For the six months ended February 29, 2008.

*    Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
     price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
     capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
     the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
     is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
     assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
     reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
     over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
     price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
     used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

     Total Return on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes
     in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset
     value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if
     any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on
     the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested
     at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last
     dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market
     price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from
     the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

**   After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.

***  Annualized.

+    The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.

++   Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
     shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
     Preferred shares.

(a)  Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
     inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
     described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

(b)  For the six months ended February 29, 2008.

*    Distributions from Capital Gains to Preferred Shareholders and Capital
     Gains to Common Shareholders round to less than $.01 per share.

**   Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
     price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
     capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
     the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
     is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
     assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
     reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period may take place
     over several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market
     price, so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price
     used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
     Total Return on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes
     in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset
     value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if
     any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on
     the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested
     at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last
     dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market
     price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from
     the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.

***  After custodian fee credit and expense reimbursement, where applicable.

**** Annualized.

+    The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.

++   Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
     shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
     Preferred shares.

(a)  Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
     inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
     described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.

(b)  For the period November 21, 2002 (commencement of operations) through
     August 31, 2003. (c) For the six months ended February 29, 2008. See
     accompanying notes to financial statements.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY

NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.

NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

Your Nuveen Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or
capital gains distributions in additional Fund shares.

By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and
automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free
compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times
when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions
that are reinvested.

It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a
profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market.

To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement
showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the
shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own.

HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED

The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open
market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net
asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the
greater of the net asset value or 95% of the then-current market price. If the
shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be
purchased on the open market. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. Dividends and distributions received to
purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the
dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions
awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase
before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed
the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer
shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by
the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open
market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually
will be lower than those charged on individual transactions.

FLEXIBLE

You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time,
should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a
certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash
payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account
shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee.

You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name
of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his
or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are
registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to
another firm and continue to participate in the Plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although
the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge
payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants
in the Plan at this time.

Glossary of
TERMS USED in this REPORT


o    AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
     payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
     process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
     Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
     sale are deemed to have "failed", with current holders receiving a
     formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.

o    AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an
     investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period.
     It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal
     the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or
     market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if
     any) over the time period being considered.

o    AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
     of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
     to maturity (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the
     security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or
     the exercise of call provisions unless an escrow account has been
     established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
     for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
     portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
     not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.

o    INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities are created by
     depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a
     special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a)
     issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt
     interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the
     deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse
     floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater")
     to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure
     to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the
     inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the
     floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder
     of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's
     downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also
     benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
     underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents
     an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.

o    LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
     over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
     is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes
     when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's
     duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest
     rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging
     process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's
     portfolio of bonds.

o    MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
     investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
     price.

o    NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
     subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
     issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then
     dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are
     calculated at the end of each business day.

o    TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable
     investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond
     investment.

o    ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon
     to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder
     of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original
     purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at
     maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero
     coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds
     that pay interest periodically.
