Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board October 15, 2002 1 Nuveen California Municipal Closed-End Exchange-Traded Funds (NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL) Portfolio Managers' Comments Portfolio managers Steve Krupa and Bill Fitzgerald discuss economic conditions, key investment strategies, and the recent performance of the Nuveen California Funds. Steve, who joined Nuveen in 1979, has managed NPC and NCL since 2001. With 14 years of investment management experience at Nuveen, Bill assumed portfolio management responsibility for NCU in 1998, NAC in 1999, NVX and NZH upon their inceptions in 2001, and NKL upon its inception in March 2002. WHAT WERE THE MAJOR DRIVERS OF THE U.S. ECONOMY AND THE MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD? The two major forces at work during the twelve months ended August 31, 2002, were continued weakness in the U.S. economy and the Federal Reserve's efforts to address this situation by lowering short-term interest rates and maintaining them at 40-year lows. The events of September 11, 2001, and the uncertain geopolitical climate that followed also have impacted the economy and the markets. In the municipal market, the general economic environment of the past twelve months, including a sluggish recovery and lack of inflationary pressures, helped many bonds perform well. The first eight months of 2002 saw a continuation of the trend toward increased municipal issuance at the national level, with $219.6 billion in new supply, up 21% over January-August 2001. On the demand side, municipal bonds continued to be highly sought after by individual investors looking for diversification, tax-free income, and an alternative to a volatile stock market. Institutional investors, especially traditional purchasers such as property/ casualty insurance companies, have also been active buyers in the municipal market. HOW WAS THE ECONOMIC AND MUNICIPAL ENVIRONMENT IN CALIFORNIA? California's economy paralleled the national condition, and was characterized by a general slowdown, tepid recovery, and little job growth. As of August 2002, the state unemployment rate was 6.2%, up from 5.5% a year earlier and higher than the national average of 5.7%. In general, southern California has outperformed the northern part of the state over the past year, which continues to be hampered by the downturn in the technology industry. Shortly after the closing date for this report, California approved its state budget for fiscal year 2003, which began July 1, 2002. The two-month delay in passage was caused by legislators' inability to reach agreement on ways to eliminate a $24 billion deficit, a product of last year's recession, this year's weak recovery and the poor performance of the equity markets. Through most of the 1990s, California's tech-heavy economy produced high levels of income tax revenue from the exercise of stock options, as well as capital gains taxes from the sale of appreciated investments. From a budgetary perspective, the state has had a difficult time adjusting to the changed equity market environment, as personal income tax revenue declined 24% during fiscal year 2002. The budget for fiscal year 2003 was balanced through a combination of expense reductions, new debt issuance, and fund transfers. However, some concerns remain that the state's new budget could hurt local governments by cutting tax reimbursements to cities, counties and school districts. The current budget also left unresolved California's structural budget deficit, i.e., the state continues to spend significantly more than it is earning through recurring revenues. As a result, California faces an estimated $10 billion shortfall in fiscal year 2004. The state's ability to find new revenue sources will be an important factor in demonstrating to the market that California can make the necessary changes to close its structural budget imbalance. 2 During the first eight months of 2002, California issued $25.4 billion in new bonds, up more than 11% over the same period in 2001. Given the state's continued need to fund operating deficits, issuance is expected to remain heavy. Chief among the scheduled offerings is $11.8 billion in power bonds issued by the Department of Water Resources. This issue, which represents the largest bond offering in municipal history, would reimburse California's general fund for the $6.6 billion the state spent to purchase power for investor-owned utilities during the 2001 power crisis. Also on the calendar is $4.5 billion in revenue bonds secured by the state's share of the proceeds from the master settlement agreement with the major tobacco companies. Following a Moody's downgrade in November 2001, credit ratings for state-issued general obligation debt have remained intact at A1/A+/AA. As of August 2002, Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch all maintained a negative outlook for the state due to concerns about budget issues and near-term liquidity. HOW DID THESE NUVEEN CALIFORNIA FUNDS PERFORM OVER THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS? During the twelve months ended August 31, 2002, the Fed's policy of maintaining short-term interest rates at relatively low levels, combined with generally favorable market conditions, created a positive total return environment for municipal bonds and bond funds. Individual results for the Nuveen California Funds, as well as for relevant indexes, are presented in the accompanying table. TOTAL RETURN LEHMAN LIPPER MARKET YIELD ON NAV TOTAL RETURN1 AVERAGE2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 YEAR 1 YEAR 1 YEAR TAXABLE- ENDED ENDED ENDED 8/31/02 EQUIVALENT3 8/31/02 8/31/02 8/31/02 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPC 5.49% 8.65% 6.47% 5.62% 5.32% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCL 5.80% 9.13% 6.29% 5.62% 5.32% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCU 6.04% 9.51% 7.48% 5.61% 5.51% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAC 6.06% 9.54% 6.75% 5.61% 5.51% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NVX 6.13% 9.65% 3.90% 5.61% 5.51% --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NZH 6.17% 9.72% NA - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- NKL 6.08% 9.57% NA - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Past performance is not predictive of future results. For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your Fund in this report. In a market characterized by rising bond values, funds with longer durations4 typically would be expected to outperform funds and indexes with shorter durations. As of August 31, 2002, the durations of the seven Nuveen California Funds in this report ranged from 7.25 to 12.55, with six of the seven showing durations greater than the 8.49 average duration of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index. In addition to duration, the relative performance of these Funds also was influenced by factors such as credit quality, portfolio trading activity, call exposure, and price movement of individual holdings. NVX's underperformance, for example, was due in part to this portfolio's holding of airline-backed Los Angeles International Airport bonds, which accounted for about 1.6% of the Fund's net assets at the beginning of this fiscal year. The value of these bonds fell about 75% over the twelve months ended August 31, 2002, in part because of the decline in air travel over the past year. On the other hand, NCU benefited as interest rates declined during the second half of the Fund's fiscal year. As bond prices rose in response to the declining rates, several of this Fund's holdings were priced to their call dates rather than their maturity dates. As a result, these bonds were priced to a significantly shorter portion of the yield curve, causing their prices to increase even more. One example was the Fund's holding of Riverside County Redevelopment Agency securities for the Jurupa Valley Project Area. The prices of these bonds increased to 104.05 from 101.79 during the reporting period, helping the Fund show strong total return performance for the year ended August 31, 2002. HOW DID THE MARKET ENVIRONMENT AFFECT THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES? As the Fed continued to keep short-term interest rates relatively low, the dividend-paying capabilities of these Funds benefited from their use of leverage, a strategy that can potentially enhance the dividends 1 The total annual returns on common share net asset value for NPC and NCL are compared with the total annual return of the Lehman Brothers California Insured Tax-Exempt Bond Index, an unleveraged index comprising a broad range of insured California municipal bonds, while the annual returns of the non-insured Funds are compared with the annual return of the Lehman California Tax-Exempt Bond Index, an unleveraged index comprising a broad range of investment-grade California municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any expenses. 2 The total returns of NPC and NCL are compared with the average annualized return of the 9 funds in the Lipper California Insured Municipal Debt Funds category, while the total returns of the non-insured Funds are compared with the return of the 21 funds in the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 3 The taxable-equivalent yield represents the yield that must be earned on a taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Nuveen Fund on an after-tax basis. The taxable-equivalent yield is based on the Fund's market yield on the indicated date and a combined federal and state income tax rate of 36.5%. 4 Duration is a measure of a Fund's NAV volatility in reaction to interest rate movements. Fund duration, also known as leverage-adjusted duration, takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is generally longer than the duration of the actual portfolio of individual bonds that make up the Fund. References to duration in this commentary are intended to indicate Fund duration unless otherwise noted. 3 paid to common shareholders. This is due to the fact that the extent of this benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates the Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R) shareholders. Low short-term rates, such as those currently in effect, can enable the Funds to reduce the amount of income they pay preferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to support common share dividends. During the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, steady or falling short-term interest rates enabled us to implement three dividend increases in NCL and NCU, two in NPC and NAC, and one in NVX. Among the newer Funds, NZH maintained stable, attractive dividends during this period, while NKL, which was introduced in March 2002, declared its first monthly dividend in May. Given the volatility of the equity markets over past year, investors seem to have continued to evaluate their asset allocation plans. We believe many made slow, but significant, shifts to bonds and bond funds to take better advantage of the balance offered by fixed-income investments. Over this period, the share prices of the Nuveen Funds covered in this report remained relatively stable or exhibited modest declines. As of August 31, 2002, all of these Funds were trading at modest discounts to their common share net asset values (see charts on individual Performance Overview pages). WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE NUVEEN CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED AUGUST 31, 2002? Looking first at the insured Funds, we believed NPC and NCL were well positioned structurally to take advantage of the interest rate environment of the past twelve months. Our strategic focus continued to be on increasing call protection and finding undervalued bonds. Specifically, we purchased tax-backed bonds issued to finance infrastructure improvements in various areas of the state and to support future growth and development of communities in all regions. In the non-insured Funds, our focus was on shifting the maturity structure of these Funds from long to long/intermediate by selling bonds in the 20- to 25-year part of the yield curve and replacing them with bonds in the 15- to 20-year range. Essentially, our strategy involved positioning the portfolios more defensively in anticipation of potential changes in the interest rate environment. We believed that bonds in the 15- to 20-year part of the yield curve offered greater opportunities for price appreciation and would perform well if and when interest rates rose. Our recent purchases were primarily AAA insured bonds offering higher coupons, as we believe these issues will provide better downside protection in the event of a decline in bond prices. We also made some strategic investments in non-rated assessment district bonds with maturities of 20 years, primarily housing project issues, to provide enhanced yield and diversification. Overall, we believed the Funds were adequately weighted in the healthcare and multifamily housing sectors, which helped Fund performance over the past twelve months. During this time, we made no new investments in the transportation sector, while avoiding general obligation bonds due to budget uncertainties. As a result of the yield curve positioning of the non-insured Funds, as well as market moves affecting both types of Funds, the durations of the Nuveen California Funds generally shortened over the past six months. We believed this would help make our portfolios less sensitive to interest rate changes while still providing yields and returns that were competitive with longer duration funds. In the current market environment, we believed that maintaining strong credit quality remains a key requirement for all of the Funds. As of August 31, 2002, each of the non-insured Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging 4 from 60% to 84%. All of these non-insured Funds also had a portion of their assets invested in BBB and non-rated bonds, which can serve to enhance the Funds' income streams. The insured Funds are 100% invested in insured and/or U.S. guaranteed securities, which means that credit quality is not an issue. In March 2002, we introduced the Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKL). This Fund is now fully invested and, in our opinion, performing well for shareholders. As mentioned earlier, NKL declared its first dividend on schedule in May 2002, and we believe the Fund's holdings place it in an excellent position to pay attractive, dependable dividends on a monthly basis going forward. In assembling NKL, the majority of our purchases were 30-year bonds, with a focus on income. In keeping with our outlook, we are now working to reposition this Fund more defensively by systematically selling longer bonds and buying those in the 15- to 20-year range. WHAT IS YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE MUNICIPAL MARKET IN GENERAL AND THE NUVEEN CALIFORNIA FUNDS IN PARTICULAR? In general, our outlook for the fixed-income markets over the next twelve months remains positive. We believe the U.S. economy is headed for an eventual recovery, but one that could be slower to arrive and offer a slower rate of growth than some are currently predicting. We also expect inflation and interest rates to remain relatively low over the near term, while new municipal volume should continue to be strong. Currently, national issuance is on pace to exceed the record of $292 billion set in 1993. Demand for tax-exempt municipal bonds should remain solid, as investors look for ways to rebalance their portfolios and reduce risk. One item that will bear watching, however, is any increase in budgetary pressure at the city and county levels that could potentially result in credit rating downgrades, among bonds issued by these entities. Most of these Funds continue to offer excellent levels of call protection through 2002 and 2003, with call exposure ranging from 0% in NKL to 19% in NPC. NPC, which reaches its 10-year anniversary in November 2002, faces a slightly higher level of potential calls during this period, as the Fund works its way through the phase of its life cycle often associated with increased call exposure. In this Fund, as well as in NCL and NCU, which are approaching their 10-year anniversaries in 2003, we have been proactive in selling callable bonds and reinvesting the proceeds further out on the yield curve to enhance total return potential and support the Funds' dividends. The number of actual calls experienced by these Funds will depend largely on market interest rates over this time. In general, we believe the call exposure of these Funds is very manageable, and we foresee no problems in working through it. In coming months, we plan to remain focused on strategies that add value for our shareholders, provide support for the Funds' dividends, and fully utilize Nuveen's experience and research expertise. Specific areas of concentration will include enhancing portfolio call protection, managing interest rate volatility through the purchase of bonds in the 15- to 20-year part of the yield curve, and taking advantage of additional opportunities to position our portfolios more defensively. The heavy issuance anticipated in the California market should enhance our ability to find such opportunities. In addition, as energy markets in California continue to stabilize, we expect there to be no significant impact on the portfolios' holdings as a result of the 2001 power crisis. Overall, we believe the Nuveen California Funds are well positioned for the market environment ahead. In our opinion, they continue to represent an important element of investors' long-range financial programs, providing dependable tax-free income, diversification, and balance in uncertain times. 5 Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc.

NOW'S THE TIME - MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR From the daily ups and downs of the stock market to atypically low interest rates - and everything in between - it's hard to know how to invest your money these days. It's all the more frustrating if you're a do-it-yourself investor. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to research conducted for the Forum for Investor Advice, almost half of do-it-yourself investors said being able to access an advisor's investment knowledge would be a primary reason for seeking advice.* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Today more than ever, investors may want to consider using a financial advisor. Investing is too important and often too complicated to go it alone. Many investors need a professional who is not only knowledgeable, but someone who understands their unique goals, time horizon and risk tolerance. If you have an advisor or are looking to get established with one, consider these six ways to make the most of what he or she has to offer. o Education. Your advisor can help you understand asset classes, products and financial terms - and the pros and cons of different investment types. o Research. How is the investment managed? What are the tax consequences? Are investment fundamentals in place? Let the professionals use their time, connections and expertise to do the homework. o Information. In survey after survey, "information" is what investors say they need most from their financial advisors. Account statements, annual reports, prospectuses - even your advisor's web site - are excellent sources of information about your investments and financial news and trends. o Recommendations. Beyond information and analysis, your advisor can offer advice, suggestions and insight culled from years of working through a variety of market conditions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- '(continued on page 17) * The Study was conducted in December of 2000 by Market Facts and analyzed by New York based Neuwirth Research. Volume TWO 2002 INSIDE 13 Now's the Time -- Make the Most of Your Financial Advisor 14 Why Professional Management Makes Sense with Municipal Bond Investing 15 Today's Investing Waters Are Deep and Turbulent. Some Are Uncharted. Be Sure You're Prepared to...NAVIGATE THE CURRENTS 16 Investing Math 17 Did You Know...? 18 Fund Reports Available Online 18 ETFConnect: The Source for All Exchange-Traded Funds (C)2002 Nuveen Investments. All rights reserved. Logo: NUVEEN Investments 13 V2 WHY PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT MAKES SENSE WITH MUNICIPAL BOND INVESTING Municipal bonds, the fourth largest capital market in the United States, have become increasingly popular with individual investors. Federal Reserve Board data shows that individuals owned more than a third, or $582.3 billion, of the $1.7 trillion of municipal bonds outstanding on December 31, 2001. Municipal bonds might be even more popular with individual investors if investing were simple and straightforward. But it isn't. The fact that municipal bonds are complex keeps many retail investors at bay. However, with professional management, the complexities of municipal bonds may be alleviated. WHAT MAKES MUNICIPAL BONDS SO COMPLICATED? For starters, the municipal bond market is one of the most fragmented and inefficient of U.S. financial markets. More than 1.5 million issues from 50,000 issuers trade in an institutionally dominated, negotiated market with no central exchange. This context poses several difficulties for retail investors. First and foremost, current information on municipal bonds, industry conditions and market dynamics isn't readily available to non-professionals. Most information circulates through professional channels among institutional investors, making research all but impossible for individuals. Professional portfolio managers buy in volume, while retail investors tend to be interested in smaller trades, or "odd lots" that sell for less than $25,000 or $50,000. This means individuals seldom obtain the best prices. Individual investors further lament that markups to cover a dealer's bond-selling costs are both prohibitive and non-standardized. If an individual investor is persistent and confident enough to take the plunge into municipals, he or she might be forced to adhere to a buy-and-hold strategy of bonds with different maturities, or what is commonly called a laddered portfolio. However, bond calls can disturb laddering strategies and force reinvestment decisions at inopportune times. WHAT'S AN INDIVIDUAL INVESTOR TO DO? Because of the municipal market's inefficiencies and intricacies, an individual investor may want to rely on a major market participant when considering municipal bonds. If an individual investor is considering a municipal bond investment they may want to look at Nuveen's municipal closed-end exchange-traded funds. Nuveen has over 100 years experience in the municipal bond market and as an influential market leader, it has the ability to negotiate some of the best possible prices. Continuous evaluation and monitoring of the market allows Nuveen to identify investment opportunities and capitalize on market dynamics such as "riding down the yield curve." Simply put, Nuveen buys bonds and sells them before maturity or call date to try to capture any potential gains. For more information about how professional management of municipal bonds can be used to meet your investing goals, talk with your financial advisor. Photo of: Child with net for fishing.

NAVIGATE THE CURRENTS INDIVIDUALS WHO INVESTED IN STOCKS IN THE 1990S GOT SPOILED. THEY CAME TO EXPECT DOUBLE-DIGIT ANNUAL RETURNS. EVEN FOR THAT BRIEF FOUR-MONTH PERIOD BETWEEN JULY AND OCTOBER 1998, WHEN THE MARKET DROPPED MORE THAN 15%, INVESTORS WHO STAYED THE COURSE WERE REWARDED WITH A 50% GAIN IN THE MARKET OVER THE NEXT EIGHT MONTHS, AS REPRESENTED BY THE RETURNS OF THE S&P 500. BUT THEN CAME TECHNOLOGY WOES AND THE VIRTUAL DISAPPEARANCE OF ONCE-PROMISING DOT-COMS. OUR FINANCIAL BUBBLE BURST. SINCE THEN, A SLUGGISH ECONOMY, TERRORIST ATTACKS AND CORPORATE FRAUD HAVE TAKEN THEIR TOLL. RECENT STOCK MARKET LOSSES HAVE LEFT MOST INVESTORS WONDERING HOW TO NAVIGATE THROUGH ROUGH INVESTING WATERS. DESPITE STORMY CONDITIONS, YOU CAN STILL REACH YOUR FINANCIAL GOALS. IT'S A MATTER OF FOLLOWING SEVERAL TIME-HONORED INVESTING PRINCIPLES.... DIVERSIFY BY ASSET CLASS AND SECTOR. By investing across asset classes, market capitalizations and economic sectors, you balance risk and reward, growth and income. Stocks and fixed-income investments - and different industries - react differently in different economic environments. INVEST IN REAL ESTATE FOR GREATER DIVERSIFICATION. Real estate has a low correlation to other asset classes, and over time, investors have benefited from continuous, steady growth.1 INVEST IN QUALITY. The best-performing portfolios tend to be weighted with funds, bonds and stocks of companies that have true financial strength and proven records of growth and profitability. CONSIDER DOLLAR-COST AVERAGING. Instead of waiting and trying to buy a stock at its lowest price, invest a consistent amount of money on a regular basis, regardless of the price. Your average cost per share may be less than the average price per share. Dollar cost averaging does not ensure a profit or protect against loss in a declining market. Because such a plan involves continuous investment, investors should consider their financial ability to continue purchases through periods of low price levels. EXPECT MARKET FLUCTUATIONS. Intra-day movements up or down 100 points are becoming more the norm than the exception. Keep those shifts of 100+ points in perspective. A 100-point move represents about a 1% movement in the Dow Jones Industrial Average at its current level. AVOID FREQUENT TRADING. With day-to-day market fluctuations, it's tempting to jump from investment to investment to try to avoid losses. TAKE A LONG-TERM VIEW. Successful navigation through investing waters has more to do with time than timing. There have been 13 bear markets since 1929, averaging three to 41 months and plummeting an average 39% each time. Nine of those bear markets occurred between 1970 and 2000. Yet Bloomberg Financial Reports notes that, over the same 30-year period, the stock market rose over 15-fold.1 Base your performance expectations on long-term trends rather than short-term swings. The key to navigating tempestuous financial waters is to keep your sights set on reaching your long-term goals. Let your financial advisor and common sense be your guide as you review your portfolio and chart your course for financial success. 1 Past performance is not an indication of future results. The Nuveen Investor Vol 02.2 Logo: NUVEEN Investments 15 V2 INVESTING MATH These hypothetical examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent the performance of any Nuveen investment. Q: Investor A gets a 10% return in Year One on his investment of $1000 and loses 5% in Year Two. Investor B loses 5% in Year One on her investment of $1000 and earns 10% in Year Two. Who comes out ahead? A: They tie. Investor A has $1100 at the end of Year One and $1045 after Year Two. Investor B has $950 at the end of Year One and $1045 after Year Two. True or False? By investing $100 per month for 30 years, you could end up with more than $100,000. True, as long as your investment compounds at 6% interest per year or more.* Compound $100 per Total Yield at 6% month for Investment interest/year -------------------------------------------------- 1 year $ 1,200 $ 1,234 -------------------------------------------------- 5 years $ 6,000 $ 6,977 -------------------------------------------------- 10 years $ 12,000 $ 16,388 -------------------------------------------------- 15 years $ 18,000 $ 29,082 -------------------------------------------------- 20 years $ 24,000 $ 46,204 -------------------------------------------------- 25 years $ 30,000 $ 69,299 -------------------------------------------------- 30 years $ 36,000 $ 100,452 -------------------------------------------------- Q: When is 6% really 8.5%...and 5% really 3.5%? A: When 6% is earned on a tax-free investment, such as a municipal bond fund, and the 5% is the yield on a taxable investment in the 30% tax bracket. You can determine the equivalent yield a taxable investment would have to pay for you to net the same amount after tax, compared to the yield on a tax-exempt investment. Use the formula: E = B -: (1-T). B is the tax-exempt yield, T is your personal income tax bracket, and E is the taxable equivalent yield. True or False? It will take 24 years for you to double your money if you put your money in a savings account or other investment paying 3%. True, this is commonly known as the Rule of 72. All you need to do is take the number 72 and divide it by the interest rate you receive. The answer will be the number of years it takes to double your money. Interest Years to Double Rate % Your Money ----------------------------------------------- 1% 72.0 ----------------------------------------------- 3% 24.0 ----------------------------------------------- 5% 14.4 ----------------------------------------------- 7% 10.3 ----------------------------------------------- 9% 8.0 ----------------------------------------------- * This investment assumes that all interest is reinvested and compounded on a monthly basis.

The Nuveen Investor Vol 02.2 Logo: NUVEEN Investments 16 V2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (continued from page 13) o Perspective. When the market or a particular investment is down, it's great to have a financial advisor to remind you of your long-term goals, discourage panic and suggest alternatives. o Assessment. Your advisor can help you monitor and evaluate how well your portfolio and individual investments are performing vis-a-vis your goals. One last thought: communication is vital. Your advisor will be able to best meet your needs when you provide information about yourself and what you want from your investments. Give your advisor as much information as you expect to get. ADVISOR CHECKLIST When you meet with your financial advisor, you'll want to be prepared to talk about... o Adjusting (or setting) financial goals. o Evaluating (or developing) your investment strategy, so it's aligned to achieve your short- and long- term goals. o Any major life events, such as marriage, birth of a child or disability of a spouse. o Rebalancing your portfolio. o Investing for retirement. o Minimizing your tax liability. o Bringing your estate plan up to date. o Other financial issues, such as life insurance, credit card debt or mortgage information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DID YOU KNOW...? o The Forum for Investment Advice reports that a Dow Jones Industrial Average decline of 15% or more typically occurs about once very two years. o According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., investors lost $114 million from May 1999 to May 2002 because they went over the FDIC's $100,000-per-depositor insurance limit, or because they deposited their money unknowingly in uninsured banks. Check your institution's coverage amounts at www2.fdic.gov/edie. o Financial experts suggest that you have no more than 25 % of your 401(k) assets in company stock. o The municipal bond market trades $9.5 billion worth of bonds on an average day. o According to US News and World Report, the average age of retirement in industrialized countries is 59.2 years in France, 60.5 in Germany, 60.6 in Italy, 62.3 in Canada, 62.7 in the United Kingdom, 63.6 in the USA and 66.5 in Japan. o Banks frequently use different methods to calculate interest. To compare how much money you'll earn at different banks, ask for each account's "annual percentage yield." Only APYs are calculated the same way from bank to bank.

Financial Statements 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The California Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding 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) and Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKL). 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 California Premium Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) and Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) are traded on the American Stock Exchange. Prior to the commencement of operations of California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) and Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL), the Funds had no operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company and the recording of the organization expenses ($15,000, $11,500 and $11,500, respectively) and their reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, also a wholly owned subsidiary of The John Nuveen Company. Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and California state income taxes by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of California. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as closed-end management investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Securities 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 price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service establishes fair market 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 and general market conditions. If it is determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds may establish a fair value for the security. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets in a separate account with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At August 31, 2002, California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) and Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) had outstanding when-issued purchase commitments of $7,007,194 and $4,244,880, respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other 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. Income Taxes Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and California state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly tax-exempt income dividends paid during the period ended August 31, 2002, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. 51 Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Tax-exempt net investment income is declared monthly as a dividend. Generally, payment is made or reinvestment is credited to shareholder accounts on the first business day after month end. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Accordingly, temporary over- distributions as a result of these differences may occur and will be classified as either distributions in excess of net investment income, distributions in excess of net realized gains and/or distributions in excess of net ordinary taxable income from investment transactions, where applicable. Preferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of each rate period. The number of shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows: INSURED INSURED CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA PREMIUM PREMIUM PREMIUM INCOME INCOME 2 INCOME (NPC) (NCL) (NCU) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M -- -- 1,720 Series T 1,800 1,900 -- Series TH -- 1,900 -- Series F -- -- -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,800 3,800 1,720 ================================================================================ INSURED CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND DIVIDEND DIVIDEND DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 ADVANTAGE 3 ADVANTAGE (NAC) (NVX) (NZH) (NKL) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M -- 2,200 3,740 -- Series T -- -- -- 2,360 Series TH 3,500 -- 3,740 -- Series F 3,500 2,200 -- 2,360 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 7,000 4,400 7,480 4,720 ================================================================================ Effective November 16, 2001, California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) issued 3,740 Series M and 3,740 Series TH, $25,000 stated value Preferred shares. Effective May 17, 2002, Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) issued 2,360 Series T and 2,360 Series F, $25,000 stated value Preferred shares. 52 Insurance Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) invest in municipal securities which are 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. 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' 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 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 net asset value of the Funds' shares 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. Derivative Financial Instruments The Funds may invest in transactions in certain derivative financial instruments including futures, forward, swap and option contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the period ended August 31, 2002. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Offering Costs Nuveen Investments has agreed to pay all offering costs (other than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) and Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL). California Dividend Advantage 2's (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3's (NZH) and Insured California Dividend Advantage's (NKL) share of offering costs ($423,743, $723,000 and $457,500, respectively) were recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of Common shares. Costs incurred by California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH) and Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) in connection with their offering of Preferred shares ($1,296,000, $2,129,850 and $1,363,188, respectively) were recorded as a reduction to paid-in surplus. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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. Change in Accounting Policy As required, effective September 1, 2001, the following Funds have adopted the provisions of the new AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began accreting taxable market discount on debt securities. Prior to September 1, 2001, the Funds did not accrete taxable market discount on debt securities until they were sold. The cumulative effect of this accounting change had no impact on the total net assets applicable to Common shares or the Common share net asset values of the Funds, but resulted in an increase in the cost of securities and a corresponding decrease in net unrealized appreciation based on securities held by the Funds on September 1, 2001, as follows: INSURED INSURED CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA PREMIUM PREMIUM PREMIUM DIVIDEND DIVIDEND INCOME INCOME 2 INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 (NPC) (NCL) (NCU) (NAC) (NVX) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $893,472 $87,380 $102,039 $-- $6,523 ================================================================================ The Statement of Changes in Net Assets and Financial Highlights for the prior periods have not been restated to reflect this change in presentation. The net effect of this change for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2002, was to increase investment income with a corresponding decrease in net unrealized appreciation as follows: INSURED INSURED CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA PREMIUM PREMIUM PREMIUM DIVIDEND DIVIDEND INCOME INCOME 2 INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 (NPC) (NCL) (NCU) (NAC) (NVX) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $99,557 $12,216 $13,593 $-- $16,009 ================================================================================ 53 Notes to Financial Statements (continued) Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities The Funds have adopted the classification requirement of EITF D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities. EITF D-98 requires that Preferred shares, at liquidation value, be presented separately in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Accordingly, certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements and financial highlights for all prior periods presented. The adoption of EITF D-98 had no impact on the Funds' Common share net asset values. 2.

A phone call is all it takes to set up your reinvestment account. NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded 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. EASY AND CONVENIENT 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 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. 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 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. FLEXIBILITY 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. For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800) 257-8787. 68 Fund Information BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES Robert P.
