President's Letter
Dear Shareholder,
I am pleased to present this semi-annual report for the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds for the six-month period ended April 30, 2009. The report includes portfolio commentary, listings of the Funds' investments, and their 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 early 2008, the market for auction rate preferred securities has experienced significant challenges that resulted in continued failed auctions for many of these securities. This includes the auction market preferred shares ("AMPS") issued by the Funds. We continue to work on potential solutions within this market to identify potential alternative financing structures that would allow the Funds to redeem their AMPS but still continue to use leverage.
Before concluding, I am pleased to inform you that in June 2009 each Fund completed a tender offer for 10% of its outstanding common shares. Additionally, during the reporting period, each Fund announced the implementation of a semi-annual tender offer program consisting of up to four tender offers over a two-year period. Under its tender offer program, if a Fund's common shares trade at an average daily discount to net asset value per share (NAV) of greater than 10% during a 12-week measurement period, the Fund would conduct a tender offer for between 5% and 20% of its outstanding common shares at a price equal to 98% of its NAV determined on the day the tender offer expires. As previously announced, each Fund's initial measurement period commenced on June 5, 2009 and will close on August 28, 2009. Also, to offset the expenses associated with the tender offers, Neuberger Berman has agreed to extend the fee waivers currently in place for the Funds.
Thank you for your trust in Neuberger Berman. We will continue to work hard to earn it.
Sincerely,
Robert Conti
President and CEO

Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds Portfolio Commentaries
For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, all three of the Neuberger Berman closed-end intermediate municipal bond funds posted positive returns, but trailed the Barclays Capital 10-Year Municipal Bond Index benchmark.
As the reporting period began, the municipal market was still reeling from a combination of forced selling from highly leveraged hedge funds, issues related to the downgrades of municipal bond insurers, illiquidity, and the rapidly weakening economy. Collectively, this had caused municipal yields to reach a startling 125% to 150% of comparable maturity U.S. Treasury yields.
While investor risk aversion remained elevated in early November 2008, demand for high quality municipal bonds increased, likely due to their apparently compelling yields. This triggered a strong rally during the last two months of the calendar year. This momentum continued into 2009, as liquidity started to improve, the worst of the deleveraging appeared to be over, and new issuance activity started to pick up. This supply was generally met with solid demand. Toward the end of the reporting period, investor confidence in the government's initiatives to stabilize the financial system and hopes that the economy may be bottoming appeared to cause investor risk aversion to subside. This, in turn, supported lower rated, higher yielding municipal bonds, causing their prices to rally as well.
Against this backdrop, we actively managed each Fund's portfolio and continued to conduct extensive fundamental research on the credit characteristics of our existing and potential new holdings. Given the deteriorating state of the economy, we trimmed our exposure to weaker credits and more economically sensitive revenue bonds. In addition, the Funds' use of leverage enhanced their results.
The Funds' underperformance versus their benchmark was, in large part, due to their exposure to certain lower-tier investment-grade quality municipal securities, as well as some non-rated and below-investment-grade issues. Also detracting somewhat from performance was the Funds' overweight (versus the benchmark) to the airport sector and their underweight to strongly performing pre-refunded securities.
Looking ahead, we remain cautiously optimistic about the long-term prospects for the municipal market. The rate of the economy's decline appears to be moderating and, while a number of challenges remain, there is hope among investors that the worst may be behind us. Looking more closely at the municipal market, we believe yields remain attractive versus Treasuries, albeit less so than the extraordinary conditions that existed when the reporting period began. While new municipal supply should continue to be robust given the impact of the federal government's stimulus package, we believe this should be met with strong investor demand. In terms of portfolio management, we will continue to focus on conducting thorough in-house research as we seek to identify issues with the potential for credit upgrades and avoid securities that could be candidates for credit downgrades.

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 are 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, is expected to approximate
market value.
The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), effective November 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, "fair value" is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments. In addition to defining fair value, FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below. |
|
• | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments | |
• | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.) | |
• | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) | |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of April 30, 2009: |

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%, 67%, and 63% 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 April 30, 2009, these securities amounted to approximately $2,500,000 or 2.7% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for California and approximately $3,537,000 or 1.3% of net assets applicable to common shareholders for Intermediate. |
ñ | These securities have been deemed by the investment manager to be illiquid. At April 30, 2009, these securities amounted to $2,625,000 or 0.9% of net assets applicable to common shareholders 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 April 30, 2009. |
a | Security is subject to a guarantee provided by Bayerische Landesbank, backing 100% of the total principal. |
c | Security is subject to a guarantee provided by Societe Generale, backing 100% of the total principal. |

Notes to Financial Statements Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds (Unaudited)
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") (each 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 more 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. |
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. |
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 April 30, 2009, 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. |
27
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 distributions 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 | ||||||||||||||||||||||

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. |

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 April 30, 2009, each Fund declared a monthly distribution to common shareholders payable June 15, 2009, to shareholders of record on May 28, 2009, with an ex-date of May 26, 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 six months ended April 30, 2009, distribution rates ranged from: |
Distribution Rate | |||||||
California | 0.64 | % – 2.99% | |||||
Intermediate | 0.59 | % – 3.00% | |||||
New York | 0.59 | % – 3.09% |
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 six months ended April 30, 2009, distribution rates ranged from: |
Distribution Rate | |||||||
California | 0.66 | % – 2.99% | |||||
Intermediate | 0.66 | % – 8.68% | |||||
New York | 0.66 | % – 8.45% |
The Funds declared distributions to AMPS shareholders for the period May 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009 for each series of the AMPS as follows: |
Series A Shares | Series B Shares | ||||||||||
California | $ | 16,178 | $ | 16,700 | |||||||
