President'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, 2008. 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.

Since February 2008, the market for auction rate preferred securities (ARPS) has experienced significant disruption that has resulted in failed auctions for many of these securities, including the auction market preferred shares issued by the Funds. Over this same period, we have had extensive communications with investment and commercial banks, brokerage firms, investment industry organizations, legal and tax experts and regulatory organizations in an attempt to identify prudent solutions. We continue to devote considerable time exploring possible alternative financing structures that would allow for the continued use of leverage while also keeping in mind the interests of both the common and preferred shareholders of the Funds.

Thank you for your confidence in Neuberger Berman. We will continue to do our best to earn it.

Sincerely,

Robert Conti
President and CEO

Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds Portfolio Commentaries

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, all three of the Neuberger Berman closed-end intermediate municipal bond funds posted negative returns, trailing their Barclays Capital 10-Year Municipal Bond Index benchmark but outperforming peers as represented by the Lipper Closed-End Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds Average. The Funds' exposure to lower-tier investment-grade quality municipal securities and some non-rated and below-investment-grade issues along with its use of leverage (strategies that have enhanced relative performance in more benign markets) undermined performance relative to the Funds' benchmark during this challenging period.

Typically, during periods of economic uncertainty, municipal securities might have benefited from investors' "flight to quality." However, the liquidation of highly leveraged hedge funds' large municipal securities positions, a breakdown of the auction rate securities market, the well publicized problems of municipal bond insurers, and a month-long "buyers' strike" in September combined to pressure municipal securities prices. At the market low in September, high grade municipal securities yields were 125% to 150% of comparable maturity U.S. Treasury yields, a reflection of investor discomfort as the financial markets unraveled.

However, a dismal September was followed by an October rally triggered largely in our view by investment grade municipal securities' enormous after-tax yield advantage over Treasuries. We note with interest that in October, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger indicated to the U.S. Treasury that California might have to borrow funds to meet the state's annual cash flow needs. That same month, a $4 billion issue of California Revenue Anticipation Notes was over-subscribed by 25%. We believe these are clear indications that investors have not lost confidence in the municipal securities market.

In this difficult environment, we continued to focus on monitoring credit quality of the securities in the portfolios and to diligently evaluate the credit worthiness and relative value of any new opportunities. We believe our in-house credit research will continue to help us avoid potholes and uncover emerging opportunities in the municipal securities market. All three Funds' portfolios were heavily weighted (79% or higher) in revenue bonds, the overwhelming majority backed by essential services projects. Essential services revenue bonds generally provide a yield advantage over general obligation bonds (GOs) and, in our opinion, their credit quality may be better, since some state and local government debt may be more vulnerable to downgrades resulting from declining property, sales and income taxes.

Over the course of the fiscal year, we maintained a relatively short portfolio duration in the four- to five-year range. However, the fact that portfolio holdings were distributed over the one- to 15-year maturity range rather than in the market's six- to eight-year maturity "sweet spot" undermined relative performance. Still, with today's steep yield curve, we are tempted to take advantage of more opportunities in the longer end of the yield curve.

After below-average issuance in fiscal 2008 (particularly in September, when the new issues calendar nearly dried up completely), and with many municipal entities needing to fund budget deficits, we expect new issuance to increase substantially in the year ahead. However, we believe demand bolstered by municipal securities' historically high after-tax yields will keep pace with supply. Also, we expect more muted selling by hedge funds to help support prices.

In closing, we could see more shocks to the financial system, a more prolonged and deeper recession than previously anticipated, and ongoing volatility in the financial markets. However, we are hopeful that a more aggressive response of global monetary authorities to the financial crisis and additional fiscal stimulus here and abroad will eventually prove effective.

†  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 valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include considerations such as: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, the funds seek to obtain quotations from principal market makers. If such quotations are not readily available, securities a re valued using 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, 2008, 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 76%, 71%, and 64% 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 instrumental ities. 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, 2008, these securities amounted to approximately $957,000 or 1.1% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for California, approximately $5,645,000 or 2.1% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for Intermediate, and approximately $957,000 or 1.3% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for New York.

Ñ  These securities have been deemed by the investment manager to be illiquid. At October 31, 2008, these securities amounted to $2,340,000 or 0.9% of net assets for Intermediate.

µ  Floating rate securities are securities whose yields vary with a designated market index or market rate. These securities are shown at their current rates as of October 31, 2008.

Notes to Financial Statements Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds

Note A—Summary 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 LLC ("Management") to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Management, the investment manager of the Funds, and Neuberger Berman, LLC ("Neuberger"), the Funds' sub-adviser, are wholly owned subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman Brothers"), a publicly owned holding company. On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On December 1, 2008, Lehman Brothers and NBSH Acquisition, LLC ("NBSH") entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which a group consisting of portfolio managers, the management team and certain key employees and senior professionals of the Investment Management Division of Lehman Brothers ("Management Members") will acquire a majority interest in Neuberger Berman's business and the fixed income and certain alternative asset management businesses of Lehman Brothers' Investment Management Division (together with Neuberger Berman, the "Acquired Businesses") (t he "Proposed Acquisition"). Lehman Brothers will retain a 49% voting interest in the Acquired Businesses. On December 3, 2008, Lehman Brothers selected NBSH as the successful bidder in the public auction for the Acquired Businesses, which was overseen by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over the Lehman Brothers matter. The transaction is subject to certain conditions and approvals, including final approval by the bankruptcy court.

  These events, while affecting Lehman Brothers, have not had a material impact on the Funds or their operations. Management and Neuberger will continue to operate in the ordinary course of business as the investment manager and sub-adviser of the Funds.

  Included in the Acquired Businesses are Management and Neuberger. The consummation of the Proposed Acquisition could be deemed an "assignment" of the Funds' Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements which would, by law, automatically terminate those agreements. Accordingly, the Funds' Boards of Directors, including the Directors who are not "interested persons" of the investment manager and its affiliates or the Funds, are engaged in a review of the new Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Funds. The new agreements also will require the approval of the Funds' shareholders.

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 separately in the Statements of Operations.


27



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.

  The Funds have adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years 2005—2007. As of October 31, 2008, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

  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, 2008, 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, 2008 and October 31, 2007 were as follows:

    Distributions Paid From:  
    Tax-Exempt Income   Ordinary Income   Total  
    2008   2007   2008   2007   2008   2007  
California   $ 6,458,574     $ 6,689,147     $ 7,760     $ 6,563     $ 6,466,334     $ 6,695,710    
Intermediate     20,178,654       20,429,346       38,868       40,416       20,217,522       20,469,762    
New York     5,304,908       5,418,857       6,228       4,701       5,311,136       5,423,558    


 

  As of October 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S federal income tax basis were as follows:

    Undistributed
Tax-Exempt
Income
  Undistributed
Ordinary
Income
  Undistributed
Long-Term
Gain
  Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
  Loss
Carryforwards
and Deferrals
  Total  
California   $ 102,299     $     $     $ (7,690,412 )   $ (163,782 )   $ (7,751,895 )  
Intermediate     988,618                   (22,600,016 )     (1,256,493 )     (22,867,891 )  
New York     224,211                   (7,092,151 )     (807,589 )     (7,675,529 )  


 

  The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings is attributable primarily to timing differences of dividends payable and 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, 2008, the Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

    Expiring in:  
    2011   2012   2013   2014   2015   2016  
California   $     $ 159,305     $ 4,477     $     $     $    
Intermediate     509,968       328,363       58,816             126,780       232,566    
New York     362,560       156,636       18,838                   269,555    


 

  During the year ended October 31, 2008, California utilized capital loss carryforwards of $66,302.


28



5  Distributions to shareholders: Each Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of each Fund to declare 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, 2008, each Fund declared three monthly distributions to common shareholders payable December 15, 2008, January 15, 2009 and February 13, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 28, 2008, December 31, 2008 and January 30, 2009, with ex-dates of November 25, 2008, December 29, 2008 and January 28, 2009, 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  Financial Leverage: 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    


 

  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, 2008, distribution rates ranged from:

    Distribution Rate  
California     2.48 % – 12.57%  
Intermediate     2.46 % – 12.26%  
New York     2.51 % – 11.35%  


 


29



  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, 2008, distribution rates ranged from:

    Distribution Rate  
California     2.58 % – 8.65%  
Intermediate     2.62 % – 8.68%  
New York     2.51 % – 8.45%  


 

  The Funds declared distributions to AMPS shareholders for the period November 1, 2008 to November 30, 2008 for each series of the AMPS as follows:

    Series A Shares   Series B Shares  
California   $ 46,888     $ 69,076    
Intermediate     139,855       223,973    
New York     38,961       62,394    


 

  Since February 2008, the market for auction rate preferred securities has experienced an unprecedented number of failed auctions. A failed auction occurs when sellers outnumber bidders and, as a result, sellers cannot sell all, and in many cases any, of their auction rate preferred securities. When a failed auction occurs, the distribution rate for auction rate preferred securities sets to a maximum rate, which is typically determined according to a formula applied to a "base" rate. Historically, if there were not a sufficient number of bids to purchase all the auction rate preferred securities submitted to be sold in an auction, one or more broker-dealers would voluntarily allocate their own capital to purchase the remaining auction rate preferred securities. In doing so, the broker-dealer(s) would prevent a failed auction and, therefore, payment of distributions at the maximum rate. Earlier this year, most broker-d ealers ceased allocating their capital to auctions for auction rate preferred securities, resulting in the unprecedented number of failed auctions.

  Beginning in February 2008, the auctions for the Funds' AMPS have consistently failed. Although the failed auctions have resulted in a current lack of liquidity for preferred shareholders, they are not an event of default for the Funds nor have they affected the credit quality of the AMPS, which all continue to be rated AAA/Aaa. The Funds have paid, and continue to pay, distribution rates on their AMPS that are set at the maximum rate, which is 110% of the base rate (the base rate is the greater of an "AA" rated composite commercial paper rate or the taxable equivalent of a short-term municipal bond rate) as a result of the failed auctions.

  If auctions continue to fail and the maximum rate increases due to changes in short term interest rates, the Funds' returns for common shareholders could be adversely affected. The Funds continue to monitor developments in the AMPS market and consider the interests of the common and preferred shareholders when evaluating any potential solutions.

  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 the 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


30



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.

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 B—Management 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
 
  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, 2008, such waived fees amounted to $312,709, $951,940, and $254,337 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.

  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, 2008, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $4,826, $4,360, and $2,220 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.


31



  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 C—Securities Transactions:

  During the year ended October 31, 2008, there were purchase and sale transactions (excluding short-term securities) as follows:

(000's omitted)   Purchases   Sales  
California   $ 22,023     $ 22,979    
Intermediate     40,952       38,087

Note E—Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

  In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" (FAS 157). This standard clarifies the definition of fair value for financial reporting, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about the use of fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of October 31, 2008, the Funds do not believe the adoption of FAS 157 will impact the amounts reported in the financial statements, however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements of fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements reported in the statement of operations for a fiscal period.

  In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("FAS 161"), was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity's results of operations and financial position. In September 2008, FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 and FASB Interpretation No. 45-4 (the "FSP"), "Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161" was issued and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008. The FSP amends F ASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. The FSP also clarifies the effective date of FAS 161, whereby disclosures required by FAS 161 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact on the Funds' financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

Note F—Recent Market Events

  Recent events have resulted in fixed income instruments experiencing liquidity issues, increased price volatility, credit downgrades and increased likelihood of default. Due to the market turbulence, some investors have turned to the safety of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, causing the prices of these securities to rise and their yields to decline.

  The U.S. federal government and certain foreign governments have acted to calm credit markets and increase confidence in the U.S. and world economies. The U.S. government is injecting liquidity into certain large financial services companies and establishing programs to assist in the purchase of money market instruments. The ultimate effect of these efforts is, of course, not yet known.
