Chairman's Letter
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present to you this annual report for the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. The report includes portfolio commentary, listings of the Funds' investments, and their audited financial statements for the reporting period.
Each Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and, for each state-specific fund, a high level of current income exempt from that state's personal income taxes (and, in the case of the New York Fund, New York City personal income tax).
We invest in intermediate-term municipal bonds because our experience and research indicate strongly that this maturity range has historically offered the best risk/reward profile on the yield curve, providing much of the return of longer-term bonds with less volatility and risk.
We believe that our conservative investment philosophy and disciplined investment process will benefit you with superior tax exempt current income over the long term.
Thank you for your confidence in Neuberger Berman. We will continue to do our best to earn it.
Sincerely,
PETER SUNDMAN
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds Portfolio Commentary
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2007, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, all three of the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds delivered a positive total return, outperforming the Lipper Closed-End Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average but trailing the Lehman Brothers 10-Year Municipal Bond Index.
The Funds started the fiscal year well as seasonally strong demand and limited supply buoyed municipal securities through the end of calendar 2006 (two months into this 12-month reporting period). However, a surge in new issuance beginning in first quarter 2007 and extending through much of the balance of the fiscal year disrupted these favorable supply/demand dynamics. Although the market absorbed what we expect will be record municipal bond issuance in 2007, demand in part due to the subprime mortgage woes of hedge funds (traditionally big buyers of municipal securities) restrained prices.
Credit spreads (the yield differential between higher and lower rated bonds) expanded significantly in the second half of the fiscal year as suddenly risk-averse investors opted for higher quality issues. Although theoretically it might be tempting to take advantage of the higher yields of lower rated issues, we believed that with all the economic and market uncertainties, our shareholders were better served by maintaining the Funds' high average credit ratings.
The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts (totaling 75 basis points for the Fed Funds rate) in the fiscal year's second half produced a steeper yield curve and a bigger yield advantage for longer maturity securities. However, the tax consequences of selling appreciated securities, along with our belief that Federal Reserve easing could be short-lived, made us reluctant to extend the portfolios' weighted average maturities or durations. Also, we believe that if the Fed does continue to ease interest rates, securities in the one- to seven-year maturity spectrum (where our portfolios are concentrated) will benefit more than longer maturity debt.
Over the course of the fiscal year, all three of the Funds maintained a large allocation and revenue bonds (primarily backed by a wide array of revenue streams) while limiting exposure to general obligation bonds (GOs) due to our belief that declining home prices along with a softer labor market could have a negative impact on the tax revenues that support GOs' principal and interest payments. Finally, many of the revenue bonds owned by the Funds have legal covenants that provide additional protection for bondholders.
Looking ahead, the Federal Reserve is faced with a dilemma. If the credit crunch seriously undermines the health of our financial system and the economy appears headed for recession, the Fed could have to come to the rescue with additional rate cuts. However, rising commodities prices, most notably oil, but also gold, agricultural products and industrial materials, could fan the flames of inflation, which is already above the Fed's target rate. More rate cuts by the Fed could also put additional pressure on the already stumbling dollar. We think the Fed will remain neutral as long as possible, hoping the financial system and credit markets will survive the subprime mortgage mess and that inflation moderates as the economy slows. With the Fed stuck between the proverbial rock and hard place, we will likely maintain the portfolios' current weighted average maturities and durations, until something good or bad happens to signal a change in monetary policy.
In closing, today municipal securities appear to us attractively priced relative to Treasuries. With intermediate maturity municipal bonds yields on average about 82-84% of the 10-year Treasury bond yield, municipal bonds provide a significant yield advantage for investors in the 35% income tax bracket.

Investments in securities by Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("California"), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("Intermediate"), and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("New York") (individually a "Fund", and collectively, the "Funds") are valued daily by obtaining bid price quotations from independent pricing services on all securities available in each service's data base. For all other securities, bid prices are obtained from principal market makers in those securities or, if quotations are not readily available, by methods each Fund's Board of Directors has approved on the belief that they reflect fair value. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security, including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in futures or ADRs and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding. Short-term debt securities with less than 60 days until maturity may be valued at cost which, when combined with interest earned, approximates market value.
## At October 31, 2007, selected Fund information on a U.S. federal income tax basis was as follows:

@ At time of investment, municipal securities purchased by the Funds are within the four highest rating categories (with respect to at least 80% of total assets) assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization ("NRSRO") such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor's, or Fitch Investors Services, Inc. or, where not rated, are determined by the Funds' investment manager to be of comparable quality. Approximately 79%, 73%, and 65% of the municipal securities held by California, Intermediate, and New York, respectively, have credit enhancement features backing them, which the Funds may rely on, such as letters of credit, insurance, or guarantees. Without these credit enhancement features the securities may or may not meet the quality standards of the Funds. Pre-refunded bonds are supported by securities in escrow issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, or instrumentalities. The amount escrowed is sufficient to pay the periodic interest due and the principal of these bonds. Putable bonds give the Funds the right to sell back the issue on the date specified.
ß Security is guaranteed by the corporate or non-profit obligor.
ñ Restricted security subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws. These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and have been deemed by the investment manager to be liquid. At October 31, 2007, these securities amounted to approximately $495,000 or 0.5% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for California, approximately $9,411,000 or 3.1% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for Intermediate and approximately $495,000 or 0.6% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for New York.
^^ Not rated by a NRSRO.
Ø All or a portion of this security was purchased on a when-issued basis. At October 31, 2007, these securities amounted to $1,291,000 or 1.3% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for California and $1,048,000 or 0.3% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for Intermediate.
ØØ All or a portion of this security is segregated as collateral for when-issued purchase commitments.

Notes to Financial Statements Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds
Note ASummary of Significant Accounting Policies:
1 General: Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("California"), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("Intermediate"), and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. ("New York") (individually a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds") were organized as Maryland corporations on July 29, 2002. California and New York are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies and Intermediate is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each Fund's Board of Directors may classify or re-classify any unissued shares of capital stock into one or mo re classes of preferred stock without the approval of shareholders.
The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Neuberger Berman Management Inc. ("Management") to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2 Portfolio valuation: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Funds' Schedule of Investments.
3 Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated in the Statements of Operations.
4 Income tax information: Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.
Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund as a whole.
As determined on October 31, 2007, there were no permanent differences resulting from different book and tax accounting reclassified at fiscal year-end.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2007 and October 31, 2006 were as follows:
Distributions Paid From: | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tax-Exempt Income | Ordinary Income | Total | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
2007 | 2006 | 2007 | 2006 | 2007 | 2006 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
California | $ | 6,689,147 | $ | 6,741,577 | $ | 6,563 | $ | 6,567 | $ | 6,695,710 | $ | 6,748,144 | |||||||||||||||
Intermediate | 20,429,346 | 21,418,996 | 40,416 | 35,155 | 20,469,762 | 21,454,151 | |||||||||||||||||||||

As of October 31, 2007, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S federal income tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed |
Undistributed Tax-Exempt Income |
Undistributed Ordinary Income |
Unrealized Long-Term Gain |
Loss Appreciation (Depreciation) |
Carryforwards and Deferrals |
Total | |||||||||||||||||||||

Intermediate | 757,071 | | | 9,123,612 | (1,023,927 | ) | 8,856,756 | ||||||||||||||||||||
New York | 204,007 | | | 1,544,142 | (538,034 | ) | 1,210,115 |
The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings is attributable primarily to timing differences of distribution payments.
To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. As determined at October 31, 2007, the Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

New York | 362,560 | 156,636 | 18,838 | | |
5 Distributions to shareholders: Each Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of each Fund to declare quarterly and pay monthly distributions. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally distributed in December. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note A-7.
Subsequent to October 31, 2007, each Fund declared three monthly distributions to common shareholders payable December 17, 2007, January 15, 2008 and February 15, 2008 to shareholders of record on November 30, 2007, December 31, 2007 and January 31, 2008, with ex-dates of November 28, 2007, December 27, 2007 and January 29, 2008, as follows:
Distribution per share | |||||||
California | $ | 0.053294 | |||||
Intermediate | 0.054217 | ||||||
New York | 0.053430 |
6 Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among the Funds and the other investment companies in the complex or series thereof on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each investment company in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly.
7 Redeemable preferred shares: On October 21, 2002, the Funds re-classified unissued shares of capital stock into several series of Auction Market Preferred Shares ("AMPS"), as follows:
Series A Shares | Series B Shares | ||||||||||
California | 1,500 | 1,500 | |||||||||
Intermediate | 4,000 | 4,000 | |||||||||
New York | 1,500 | 1,500 |
30
On December 13, 2002, the Funds issued several series of AMPS, as follows:
Series A Shares | Series B Shares | ||||||||||
California | 1,180 | 1,180 | |||||||||
Intermediate | 3,588 | 3,588 | |||||||||
New York | 965 | 965 |
All shares of each series of AMPS have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid distributions, whether or not earned or declared by the Fund, but excluding interest thereon ("Liquidation Value"). Distributions to AMPS shareholders, which are cumulative, are accrued daily. It is the policy of each Fund to pay distributions every 7 days for each Fund's AMPS Series A and every 28 days for each Fund's AMPS Series B, unless in a special rate period.
In the absence of a special rate period, distribution rates are reset every 7 days for each Fund's AMPS Series A, based on the results of an auction. For the year ended October 31, 2007, distribution rates ranged from:
Distribution Rate | |||||||
California | 2.75 | % 4.00% | |||||
Intermediate | 3.30 | % 4.05% | |||||
New York | 3.00 | % 3.80% |
In the absence of a special rate period, distribution rates are reset every 28 days for each Fund's AMPS Series B, based on the results of an auction. For the year ended October 31, 2007, distribution rates ranged from:
Distribution Rate | |||||||
California | 3.34 | % 3.76% | |||||
Intermediate | 3.50 | % 4.35% | |||||
New York | 3.25 | % 4.00% |
The Funds declared distributions to AMPS shareholders for the period November 1, 2007 to November 30, 2007 for each series of the AMPS as follows:
Series A Shares | Series B Shares | ||||||||||
California | $ | 78,163 | $ | 72,186 | |||||||
Intermediate | 271,668 | 275,249 | |||||||||
New York | 57,926 | 68,570 |
The Funds may redeem shares of each series of AMPS, in whole or in part, on the second business day preceding any distribution payment date at Liquidation Value.
The Funds are also subject to certain restrictions relating to the AMPS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of AMPS at Liquidation Value.
The holders of AMPS are entitled to one vote per share and will vote with holders of common shares as a single class, except that the AMPS will vote separately as a class on certain matters, as required by law or a Fund's charter. The holders of a Fund's AMPS, voting as a separate class, are entitled at all times to elect two Directors of the Fund, and to elect a majority of the Directors of a Fund if the Fund fails to pay distributions on AMPS for two consecutive years.
8 Concentration of risk: The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry or region. California and New York normally invest substantially all of their assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in the state of California and the state of New York, respectively. The value of each of these Funds' securities are more susceptible to adverse economic, political, regulatory or other factors affecting the issuers of such municipal bonds than a fund that does not limit its investments to such issuers.
31
9 Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Funds' organizational documents provide that their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, both in some of their principal service contracts and in the normal course of their business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against each Fund.
Note BManagement Fees, Administration Fees, and Other Transactions With Affiliates:
Each Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, each Fund pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily Managed Assets. Managed Assets equal the total assets of the Fund, less liabilities other than the aggregate indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For purposes of calculating Managed Assets, the Liquidation Value of any AMPS outstanding is not considered a liability.
Management has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fees it is entitled to receive from each Fund at the following annual rates:
Year Ended October 31, |
% of Average Daily Managed Assets |
||||||
2007 | 0.25 | % | |||||
2008 | 0.20 | ||||||
2009 | 0.15 | ||||||
2010 | 0.10 | ||||||
2011 | 0.05 |
Management has not agreed to waive any portion of its fees beyond October 31, 2011.
For the year ended October 31, 2007, such waived fees amounted to $397,777, $1,208,416, and $322,751 for California, Intermediate, and New York, respectively.
Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.30% of its average daily Managed Assets under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.
Management and Neuberger Berman, LLC ("Neuberger"), a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange and sub-adviser to each Fund, are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a publicly-owned holding company. Neuberger is retained by Management to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to each Fund. Several individuals who are officers and/or Directors of each Fund are also employees of Neuberger and/or Management.
Each Fund has an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. For the year ended October 31, 2007, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $2,684, $6,245, and $2,568 for California, Intermediate, and New York, respectively.
In connection with the settlement of each AMPS auction, each Fund pays, through the auction agent, a service fee to each participating broker-dealer based upon the aggregate liquidation preference of the AMPS held by the broker-dealer's customers. For any auction preceding a rate period of less than one year, the service fee is paid at the annual rate of 1/4 of 1%; for any auction preceding a rate period of one year or more, the service fee is paid at a rate agreed to by each Fund and the broker-dealer.
In order to satisfy rating agencies' requirements, each Fund is required to provide each rating agency a report on a monthly basis verifying that each Fund is maintaining eligible assets having a discounted value equal to or greater than the Preferred Shares Basic Maintenance Amount, which is a minimum level set by each rating agency as one of the conditions to maintain the AAA/Aaa rating on the AMPS. "Discounted value" refers to the fact that the rating

agencies require each Fund, in performing this calculation, to discount portfolio securities below their face value, at rates determined by the rating agencies. Each Fund pays a fee to State Street for the preparation of this report which is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Basic maintenance expense."

Note ERecent Accounting Pronouncements:
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released 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 clarifies the accounting for income taxes, by prescribing a minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires that a "more-likely-than-not" threshold be met before the benefit of a tax position may be recognized in the financial statements and prescribes how such benefit should be measured. Adoption of FIN 48 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is to be applied to all open tax years as of the effective date. The Securities and Exchange Commission has permitted investment companies to delay implementation of FIN 48. Each fund will have until April 30, 2008 to implement FIN 48. At this time, Management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and its impact in the financial statements has not yet been determined.
In September 2006, FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value Measurement" ("SFAS 157"), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Management believes the adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material impact on the Funds' financial positions or results of operations.
