WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE ANNUAL REPORTING PERIOD ENDED AUGUST 31, 2006? During this reporting period, we saw increases in interest rates across virtually the entire yield curve, resulting in a general decline in bond prices. Through much of the period, however, rates at the longer end of the curve remained more stable than those at the short end. Between September 1, 2005 and August 31, 2006, the Federal Reserve announced increases in the fed funds rate at seven of its eight Open Market Committee meetings, leaving the rate unchanged at the August 8, 2006 session. These seven 0.25% increases raised the short-term target by 175 basis points, from 3.50% to 5.25%, its highest level since March 2001. By comparison, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose 71 basis points during this period to end August 2006 at 4.73%. As short-term rates approached and exceeded the levels of long-term rates, the yield curve flattened and then inverted. In the municipal market, the yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a widely followed measure of longer-term municipal market rates, stood at 4.91% at the end of August 2006, an increase of just four basis points from the end of August 2005. Despite rising interest rates, elevated energy prices and a softening housing market, the overall economy remained relatively resilient. After expanding at a rate of 4.2% in the third quarter of 2005, the U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate slowed to 1.8% in the fourth quarter of 2005, then rebounded sharply to 5.6% in the first quarter of 2006 (all GDP numbers annualized). In the second quarter of 2006, GDP growth moderated to 2.6% with the deceleration reflecting a decline in federal spending as well as a major downturn in residential investment. In general, the jobs picture remained positive, with national unemployment at 4.7% in August 2006, down from 4.9% in August 2005. However, the markets continued to keep a close eye on inflation trends, as the year- 4 over-year increase in the Consumer Price Index registered 3.8% in August 2006. During the first eight months of 2006, the increase in inflation was driven mainly by higher energy and transportation costs, rising at an annualized rate of 4.6%, compared with 3.4% for all of 2005. Over the 12 months ended August 2006, municipal bond issuance nationwide totaled $368.2 billion, down 7% from the previous 12 months. This total reflected the general decrease in the supply of municipal securities during 2006. During the first eight months of 2006, $235.5 billion in new securities came to market, off 15% from the same period in 2005. A major factor in 2006's drop-off was the sharp reduction in pre-refunding volume, which fell more than 56% from 2005 levels as rising interest rates made advance refundings less economically attractive. Overall, demand for municipal bonds, especially those offering higher yields, continued to be strong and broad-based, with individual investors, property and casualty insurance companies, and hedge funds all participating in the market. HOW WERE THE ECONOMIC AND MARKET ENVIRONMENTS IN CALIFORNIA DURING THIS PERIOD? California ranked as the 15th fastest growing state economy in the nation in 2005, led by the leisure and hospitality sector, professional and business services, and construction. California's $1.6 trillion economy remained diverse, with international trade, technology, financial services and defense serving as additional key drivers. Over the past six months, the state's ports benefited from the nearly 10% growth in Asian trade, while Mexico remained California's largest international trading partner. In August 2006, California's unemployment rate was 4.9%, down from 5.2% in August 2005. While approximately 20% of the jobs created in California during the 12-month period were generated by the construction industry, concerns about the disproportionate impact of a housing slowdown on the California economy have not yet been realized. Population trends in the state, with growth of more than 8% over the past five years, remained positive. 5 Due to strong revenue growth resulting from economic expansion, California's fiscal condition improved over the past 12 months, as personal income tax receipts for fiscal 2006 surpassed the previous peak posted in 2001. The state's general fund ended fiscal 2006 with an estimated balance of $6.5 billion, and plans call for carrying forward the majority of these funds into fiscal 2007 to offset a $3.7 billion deficit in the $125.6 billion fiscal 2007 budget and prepay internal and external debt. Even withimprovements, however, California's budget remained structurally imbalanced, and deficits in excess of $3 billion were forecast for fiscal 2008 and 2009. Citing the improved tax revenue trends, both Moody's and Standard & Poor's upgraded California's general obligation bonds to A1 and A+, respectively, from A2 and A in May 2006. For the 12 months ended August 31, 2006, municipal issuance in California totaled $51.0 billion, on par with issuance for the previous 12 months. During the first eight months of 2006, however, California supply declined sharply, falling 20% from that of January-August 2005, to $30.3 billion. California remained the largest state issuer in the nation for both the 12-month and year-to-date periods. A referendum authorizing the issuance of $37 billion of additional general obligation debt, down from the original proposal of $68 billion, is scheduled to appear on the state's November 2006 ballot. If passed, this referendum would increase California's general fund-supported debt by 67%. WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THIS REPORTING PERIOD? As short term interest rates rose and the municipal bond yield curve flattened during this 12-month period, we continued to emphasize a disciplined approach to duration1 management and yield curve positioning. Over this period, two factors caused the durations of some of these California Funds to shorten more quickly relative to the general market. First, with the flattening of the curve, we saw a major acceleration in advance refunding2 activity during the first half of this period. While these pre-refundings benefited the Funds' performance in the short-term, they also had a shortening effect on the Funds' durations. The second factor was the natural tendency of a bond's duration to shorten as time passes. During the second half of this period, we took a proactive 1 Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these changes than bonds with shorter durations. 2 Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and interest payments of older, existing bonds. This process often results in lower borrowing costs for bond issuers. 6 approach to mitigating some of the potential risks associated with these changes in duration. (A fund's price performance can also be hampered if the fund's duration is too short during a period when the market rallies.) Because interest rates at the longer end of the yield curve remained relatively low over this period, we believed the most prudent approach to maintaining the Funds' durations within our preferred strategic range was the use of forward interest rate swaps, a type of derivative financial instrument. As discussed in previous shareholder reports, we began using these swaps strategies in late 2004 in an effort to control interest rate risk, that is, to reduce the impact of movements in interest rates on the value of the Funds' investments. The swaps are not an attempt to profit from correctly predicting the timing and direction of interest rate movements. Instead, our sole objective is to manage the durations of these Funds without having a negative impact on their income streams or common share dividends over the short term. In line with this objective, we placed swaps on NAC in June 2006, and NPC, NCL, and NVX in July 2006. These swaps performed as expected for the remainder of the period. In NKL and NKX, where we had implemented swaps in a previous period, the natural reduction in duration that occurs with the passage of time had brought these funds close enough to duration targets to allow us to remove the swaps during this period. (NCU and NZH did not use swaps during this period because we believed their durations were appropriate relative to the general market.) We also purchased a small number of U.S. Treasury note futures contracts for NAC. This strategy also enhanced our management of the Funds' yield curve positioning. Because of the low, longer term interest rate environment over the past few years that, as noted, made advance refundings more attractive, the potential call exposure for bonds in these Funds had become unevenly distributed along the yield curve. Forward interest rate swaps provided a way to smooth out these distributions and neutralize the Funds' over or under exposure to certain parts of the yield curve. 7 Overall, portfolio turnover was relatively light during much of this period, because the rate environment was not advantageous for active trading. In addition, as previously mentioned, issuance in California declined sharply during the first eight months of 2006. In watching the market for potential new additions for our portfolios, we focused mainly on attractively priced, premium coupon3 bonds maturing in 15 to 25 years. Overall, we believed that bonds in this part of the yield curve offered strong performance potential, better value, and attractive reward opportunities without excessive risk. Since California is a relatively high-quality state, much of the new supply was highly rated and/or insured, and the majority of our new purchases were higher-rated credits. One of our major purchases during this period was A+ rated bonds issued by the California Statewide Community Development Authority for the Kaiser Permanente Hospital System, which we added to NCU, NAC, NVX and NZH. We also continued to emphasize maintaining weightings of lower-quality bonds in the four uninsured Funds (NCU, NAC, NVX, and NZH) and NKL and NKX (which can invest up to 20% of their assets in non AAA rated insured investment-grade quality securities). However, as credit spreads continued to narrow and municipal supply tightened in 2006, we generally found fewer attractively structured lower-rated credit opportunities in the California market, and we added very little in the way of new positions at the lower end of the credit spectrum. Overall, these California Funds continued to have good exposure to the lower-rated credit categories. Given market concerns about oil prices, inflation and the actions of the Federal Reserve over the past 12 months, we did see some volatility in longer term yields over this period, with rates peaking in October 2005 and again in June 2006. These spikes in rates provided us with opportunities to sell a few of our holdings that were purchased when yields were lower and replace them with similar, newer credits with comparatively higher yields. This allowed us to maintain much of the Funds' current favorable portfolio characteristics while strengthening their future income streams. We also sold some of our holdings of state of California general obligation bonds (G.O.) when we believed that current prices made these bonds attractive sales candidates. 3 Premium coupon bonds are credits that, at the time of purchase, are trading above their par values because their coupons are higher than the current coupon levels of par bonds with similar durations. Historically, these bonds have held their value better than current coupon bonds when interest rates rise. 8 HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM?

For the 12 months ended August 31, 2006, the total returns on NAV for NAC, NVX and NZH exceeded the return on the Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index, while NCU trailed this measure. The returns on all four uninsured Funds underperformed the Lipper California peer group. Among the insured Funds, NKL outperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers Insured California Tax-Exempt Bond Index, while NKX performed 4 The Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged index comprising a broad range of investment-grade California municipal bonds, while the Lehman Brothers Insured California Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged index containing a broad range of insured California municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any expenses. 5 The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds category average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as follows: 1 year, 26 funds; 5 years, 15 funds ; and 10 years, 13 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 6 The Lipper Insured California Municipal Debt Funds average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end funds in its category for each period as follows: 1 year, 13 funds ; 5 years, 8 funds; and 10 years, 6 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 9 in line with the index return and NPC and NCL lagged the index return. The return on NKL performed relatively in line with the average return for the Lipper Insured California peer group, while NPC, NCL and NKX trailed the group average. Factors that influenced the Funds' returns during this period included yield curve positioning and duration management; allocations to lower-rated credits in the four uninsured Funds, NKL, and NKX; and pre-refunding activity. The use of hedges in NPC, NCL, NAC, NVX, NKL and NKX was also a positive contributor to the performances of these Funds. As the yield curve continued to flatten over the course of this period, bonds with effective maturities between two and six years were the most adversely impacted, generally underperforming long-intermediate bonds (those with maturities between 17 and 22 years) and longer bonds (those with maturities of at least 22 years). Yield curve positioning or, more specifically, greater exposure to those parts of the yield curve that performed well helped the performances of these Funds during this period. Bonds rated BBB or lower and non-rated bonds generally outperformed other credit quality sectors during this period and the four uninsured Funds as well as NKL and NKX (which can invest up to 20% of their assets in non AAA rated insured investment-grade quality securities) benefited from their allocations of lower-quality credits. The performance of this sector was largely the result of investor demand for the higher yields typically associated with lower-quality bonds, which drove up their value. As of August 31, 2006, bonds rated BBB or lower and non-rated bonds accounted for 15% to 18% of the of the four noninsured Funds, while NKL and NKX each had an allocation of 6% to bonds rated BBB. This allocation accounted for much of the performance differential between NKL and NKX and NPC and NCL, which, as 100% insured Funds, cannot hold any lower-rated credits. Among the lower-rated holdings making positive contributions to the total returns of NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX during this period were industrial development bonds and health care (including hospitals) credits, which ranked as the top performing 10 revenue sectors in the Lehman Brothers municipal index, as well as bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement, which comprised approximately 1% to 4% of the portfolios of these six Funds as of August 31, 2006. As noted earlier, we continued to see a number of advance refundings, which can benefit the Funds through price appreciation and enhanced credit quality. During this reporting period, advance refundings ranged from 5% to 12% of these Funds' portfolios, with NPC and NCU representing the lower end of the range, which hampered their performance. While advance refundings generally enhanced performance for this 12-month period, the rising interest rate environment meant that the Funds' holdings of previously pre-refunded bonds tended to underperform the general municipal market. A higher number of bond calls affecting approximately 4.5% of NCU's portfolio (compared with approximately 1% in NAC, NVX and NZH) also detracted from this Fund's performance. HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF AUGUST 31, 2006? We continued to believe that maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of August 31, 2006, the four uninsured Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from 69% in NAC and NZH to 72% in NVX and NCU. NPC and NCL continued to be 100% invested in insured and/or U.S. guaranteed securities, while NKL and NKX, which can invest up to 20% of their assets in non AAA rated insured investment-grade quality securities, had allocated 83% and 84% of their portfolios, respectively, to insured and U.S. guaranteed bonds. As of August 31, 2006, potential call exposure for the period September 2006 through the end of 2008 ranged from 4% in NZH to 6% in NKL, to 10% in NVX and NKX, 12% in NAC, 13% in NPC and NCU, and 15% in NCL. The number of actual bond calls in all of these Funds depends largely on future market interest rates. 11 Dividend and Share Price INFORMATION All of the Funds in this report use leverage to potentially enhance opportunities for additional income for common shareholders. The benefits of leveraging are tied in part to the short-term rates leveraged Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R) shareholders. During periods of low short-term rates, these Funds generally pay lower dividends to their MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to support common share dividends. Conversely, when short-term interest rates rise, as they did during this reporting period, the Funds' borrowing costs also rise, reducing the extent of the benefits of leveraging and impacting the Funds' income streams and total returns. The Funds' income streams were also affected as the proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called were reinvested into bonds currently available in the market, which generally offered lower yields. These factors resulted in a single monthly dividend reduction in NKL and NKX and two in NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX and NZH over the 12-month period ended August 31, 2006. Due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common shareholders of the following Funds received capital gains and net ordinary income distributions at the end of December 2005, as follows: LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME (PER SHARE) (PER SHARE) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPC $0.1367 $0.0109 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCU $0.0122 -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAC $0.0334 -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All of the Funds in this report seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund's NAV.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc., Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc., Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund, Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2, Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3, Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund at August 31, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Chicago, Illinois October 13, 2006 22 Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc.

See accompanying notes to financial statements. 70 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The California funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NPC), Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. (NCL), Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund (NCU), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAC), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NVX), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NZH), Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKL) and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NKX). Common shares of Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and California Dividend Advantage (NAC) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of California Premium Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) are traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies. Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of California or certain U.S. territories. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Investment Valuation The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. When market price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service establishes fair value based on yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of forward swap contacts are also provided by an independent pricing service approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. Futures contracts are valued using the closing settlement price, or, in the absence or such a price, at the mean of the bid and asked prices. If the pricing service is unable to supply a price for a municipal bond, forward swap contract or futures contact, each Fund may use a market price or fair market value quote provided by a major broker/dealer in such investments. If it is determined that the market price or fair market value for an investment is unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the investment. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Investment Transactions Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Investments purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any investments so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At August 31, 2006, Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) had outstanding when-issued/delayed delivery purchase commitments of $3,733,339 and $5,745,167, 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. Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any. Income Taxes Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2006, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation. 71 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows:

Insurance Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) invest only 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. Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invest at least 80% of their net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are covered by insurance. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which are either (i) backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, or (ii) rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. 72 Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the Funds' Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset value of the Funds include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale. Forward Swap Transactions The Funds are authorized to invest in certain derivative financial instruments. The Funds' use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer, generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the swap's termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To reduce such credit risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount. Futures Contracts The Funds are authorized to invest in futures contracts for the purposes of hedging against changes in values of a Fund's securities or changes in the prevailing levels of interest rates, as a substitute for a position in the underlying asset, or to enhance the portfolio's return. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker an amount of cash or liquid securities equal to a specified percentage of the contract amount. This is known as the "initial margin." Subsequent payments ("variation margin") are made or received by a Fund each day, depending on the daily fluctuation of the value of the contract. During the period the futures contract is open, changes in the value of the contract are recognized as an unrealized gain or loss by "marking-to-market" on a daily basis to reflect the changes in market value of the contract. When the contract is closed, a Fund records realized gains or losses equal to the difference between the value of the contract on the closing date and value of the contract when originally entered into. Risks of investments in futures contracts include the possible adverse movement of the value of the securities or indices underlying the contracts, the possibility that there may not be a liquid secondary market for the contracts and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with a change in the value of the underlying securities or indices. 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. Indemnifications Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Directors/Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 73 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) 2. FUND SHARES Transactions in Common shares were as follows:

74 4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses, timing differences in recognizing taxable market discount and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on investment transactions. To the extent that differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, based on their Federal tax basis treatment and have no impact on the net asset value of the Funds. Temporary differences do not require reclassification. At August 31, 2006, the cost of investments was as follows:

Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) elected to defer net realized losses from investments incurred from November 1, 2005 through August 31, 2006 ("post-October losses") in accordance with Federal income tax regulations. Post-October losses of $18,677 were treated as having arisen on the first day of the following year. 5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"), and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser. The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund is based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows: INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NPC) AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME 2 (NCL) (INCLUDING NET ASSETS CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NCU) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .4500% For the next $125 million .4375 For the next $250 million .4250 For the next $500 million .4125 For the next $1 billion .4000 For the next $3 billion .3875 For net assets over $5 billion .3750 ================================================================================ CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NAC) CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 2 (NVX) CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 3 (NZH) AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS INSURED CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NKL) (INCLUDING NET ASSETS INSURED CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE ADVANTAGE (NKX) ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .4500% For the next $125 million .4375 For the next $250 million .4250 For the next $500 million .4125 For the next $1 billion .4000 For net assets over $2 billion .3750 ================================================================================ 77 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As of August 31, 2006, the complex-level fee rate was .1863%. COMPLEX-LEVEL COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) FEE RATE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $55 billion .2000% For the next $1 billion .1800 For the next $1 billion .1600 For the next $3 billion .1425 For the next $3 billion .1325 For the next $3 billion .1250 For the next $5 billion .1200 For the next $5 billion .1175 For the next $15 billion .1150 For Managed Assets over $91 billion (2) .1400 ================================================================================ (1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S. (2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91 billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such time as a different rate or rates is determined. The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised Funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised Funds. For the first ten years of California Dividend Advantage's (NAC) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING JULY 31, JULY 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999* .30% 2005 .25% 2000 .30 2006 .20 2001 .30 2007 .15 2002 .30 2008 .10 2003 .30 2009 .05 2004 .30 ================================================================================ * From the commencement of operations.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 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 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. 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. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of FIN 48 and does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 will have a significant impact on the net assets or results of operations of the Funds. 7.

At a meeting held on May 23-25, 2006 (the "May Meeting"), the Board of Trustees of the Funds, including the independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuance of the Investment Management Agreement between each Fund and NAM (the "Fund Adviser"). THE APPROVAL PROCESS During the course of the year, the Board received a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by the Fund Adviser and the performance of each Fund. To assist the Board in its evaluation of the advisory contract with the Fund Adviser at the May Meeting, the independent Trustees received extensive materials in advance of their meeting which outlined, among other things: o the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Fund Adviser; o the organization and business operations of the Fund Adviser, including the responsibilities of various departments and key personnel; o the Fund's past performance, the Fund's performance compared to funds of similar investment objectives compiled by an independent third party and to customized benchmarks; o the profitability of the Fund Adviser and certain industry profitability analyses for unaffiliated advisers; o the expenses of the Fund Adviser in providing the various services; o the advisory fees (gross and net management fees) and total expense ratios of the Fund, including comparisons of such fees and expenses with those of comparable, unaffiliated funds based on information and data provided by Lipper (the "Peer Universe") as well as compared to a subset of funds within the Peer Universe (the "Peer Group") to the respective Fund (as applicable); o the advisory fees the Fund Adviser assesses to other types of investment products or clients; o the soft dollar practices of the Fund Adviser, if any; and o from independent legal counsel, a legal memorandum describing, among other things, the duties of the Trustees under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as well as the general principles of relevant state law in reviewing and approving advisory contracts; the requirements of the 1940 Act in such matters; an adviser's fiduciary duty with respect to advisory agreements and compensation; the standards used by courts in determining whether investment company boards of directors have fulfilled their duties; and factors to be considered by the Board in voting on advisory agreements. At the May Meeting, the Fund Adviser made a presentation to and responded to questions from the Board. After the presentations and after reviewing the written materials, the independent Trustees met privately with their legal counsel to review the Board's duties in reviewing advisory contracts and consider the renewal of the advisory contracts. It is with this background that the Trustees considered the advisory contract with the Fund Adviser. The independent Trustees, in consultation with independent counsel, reviewed the factors set out in judicial decisions and SEC directives relating to the renewal of advisory contracts. As outlined in more detail below, the Trustees considered all factors they believed relevant with respect to each Fund, including the following: (a) the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Fund Adviser; (b) the investment performance of the Fund and the Fund Adviser; (c) the costs of the services to be provided and profitability of the Fund Adviser and its affiliates; (d) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows; and (e) whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. A. NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES In reviewing the Fund Adviser, the Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the Fund Adviser's services. The Trustees reviewed materials outlining, among other things, the Fund Adviser's organization and business; the types of services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide and are expected to provide to the Funds; the performance record of the applicable Fund (as described in further detail below); and any initiatives and enhancements Nuveen has taken for its municipal fund product line. In connection with their continued service as Trustees, the Trustees also have a good understanding of the Fund Adviser's organization, operations and personnel. In this regard, the Trustees are familiar with and have evaluated the professional experience, qualifications and credentials of the Fund Adviser's personnel. The Trustees further reviewed materials describing, among other things, the teams and personnel involved in the investment, research, risk-management and operational processes involved in managing municipal funds 90 and their respective functions. Given the Trustees' experience with the Funds and Fund Adviser, the Trustees recognized the demonstrated history of care and depth of experience of the respective personnel in managing these Funds. In this regard, the Trustees considered the continued quality of the Fund Adviser's investment process in making portfolio management decisions as well as additional refinements and improvements adopted to the portfolio management processes noted below. With respect to the services provided to municipal funds, including the Funds, the Trustees noted that the Fund Adviser continues to make refinements to its portfolio management process including, among other things, the increased use of derivatives to enhance management of risk, additional analytical software for research staff and improved municipal pricing processes. In addition to advisory services, the independent Trustees considered the quality of any administrative or non-advisory services provided. The Fund Adviser provides the Funds with such administrative and other services (exclusive of, and in addition to, any such services provided by others for the Funds) and officers and other personnel as are necessary for the operations of the respective Fund. In connection with the review of the Investment Management Agreement, the Trustees considered the extent and quality of these other services which include, among other things, providing: product management (e.g., product positioning, performance benchmarking, risk management); fund administration (e.g., daily net asset value pricing and reconciliation, tax reporting, fulfilling regulatory filing requirements); oversight of third party service providers; administration of board relations (e.g., organizing board meetings and preparing related materials); compliance (e.g., monitoring compliance with investment policies and guidelines and regulatory requirements); and legal support (e.g., helping prepare and file registration statements, amendments thereto, proxy statements and responding to regulatory requests and/or inquiries). As the Funds operate in a highly regulated industry and given the importance of compliance, the Trustees considered, in particular, the additions of experienced personnel to the compliance teams and the enhancements to technology and related systems to support the compliance activities for the Funds (including a new reporting system for quarterly portfolio holdings). In addition to the foregoing, the Trustees also noted the additional services that the Fund Adviser or its affiliates provide to closed-end funds, including, in particular, secondary market support activities. The Trustees recognized Nuveen's continued commitment to supporting the secondary market for the common shares of its closed-end funds through a variety of initiatives designed to raise investor and analyst awareness and understanding of closed-end funds. These efforts include providing advertising and other media relations programs, continued contact with analysts, maintaining and enhancing its website for closed-end funds, and targeted advisor communication programs. With respect to funds that utilize leverage through the issuance of preferred shares, the Trustees noted Nuveen's continued support for the preferred shares by maintaining, among other things, an in-house preferred trading desk; designating a product manager whose responsibilities include creating and disseminating product information and managing relations in connection with the preferred share auction; and maintaining systems necessary to test compliance with rating agency requirements. Based on their review, the Trustees found that, overall, the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the respective Funds under the Investment Management Agreement were of a high level and were satisfactory. B. THE INVESTMENT PERFORMANCE OF THE FUND AND FUND ADVISER The Board considered the investment performance for each Fund, including the Fund's historic performance as well as its performance compared to funds with similar investment objectives identified by an independent third party (the "Performance Peer Group") and portfolio level performance against customized benchmarks, as described below. In evaluating the performance information, in certain instances, the Trustees noted that the closest Performance Peer Group for a Fund still may not adequately reflect such Fund's investment objectives, strategies and portfolio duration, thereby limiting the usefulness of the comparisons of such Fund's performance with that of the Performance Peer Group. With respect to state specific municipal funds, the Trustees recognized that certain state municipal funds do not have a corresponding state specific Performance Peer Group in which case their performance is measured against a more general municipal category for various states. The closed-end state municipal funds that do not have corresponding state-specific Performance Peer Groups are from Arizona, Connecticut, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. Further, due to a lack of state-specific unleveraged categories, certain unleveraged state municipal funds are included in their leveraged state category (such as, the Nuveen California Select Tax-Free Income Fund, Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Nuveen New York Select Tax-Free Income Fund and Nuveen New York Municipal Value Fund). In reviewing performance, the Trustees reviewed performance information including, among other things, total return information compared with the Fund's Performance Peer Group for the one-, three- and five-year periods (as applicable) ending December 31, 2005. The Trustees also reviewed the Fund's portfolio level performance (which does not reflect fund level fees and expenses) compared to customized portfolio-level benchmarks for the one- and three-year periods ending December 31, 2005 (as applicable). This analysis is designed to assess the efficacy of investment decisions against appropriate measures of risk and total return, within specific market segments. This information supplements the Fund performance information provided to the Board at each of their quarterly meetings. Based on their review, the Trustees determined that the respective Fund's absolute and relative investment performance over time had been satisfactory. C. FEES, EXPENSES AND PROFITABILITY 1. FEES AND EXPENSES In evaluating the management fees and expenses of a Fund, the Board reviewed, among other things, the Fund's advisory fees (net and gross management fees) and total expense ratios (before and after expense reimbursements and/or waivers) in absolute terms as well as comparisons to the gross management fees (before waivers), net management fees (after waivers) and total expense ratios (before and after waivers) of comparable funds in the Peer Universe and the Peer Group. The Trustees reviewed data regarding the construction of Peer Groups as well as the methods of measurement for the fee and expense analysis and the performance analysis. In certain cases, due to the small number of peers in the Peer Universe, the Peer Universe and Peer Group may be the same. Further, the Trustees recognized that in certain cases the closest Peer Universe and/or Peer Group did not adequately reflect the Fund's investment objectives and strategies limiting the usefulness of comparisons. In reviewing comparisons, 91 ANNUAL INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT APPROVAL PROCESS (continued) the Trustees also considered the size of the Peer Universe and/or Peer Group, the composition of the Peer Group (including differences in the use of leverage and insurance) as well as differing levels of fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements. In this regard, the Trustees considered the fund-level and complex-wide breakpoint schedules (described in further detail below) and any fee waivers and reimbursements provided by Nuveen (applicable, in particular, for certain funds launched since 1999). Based on their review of the fee and expense information provided, the Trustees determined that each Fund's net total expense ratio was within an acceptable range compared to peers. 2. COMPARISONS WITH THE FEES OF OTHER CLIENTS The Trustees further reviewed data comparing the advisory fees of the Fund Adviser with fees the Fund Adviser charges to other clients, including municipal managed accounts. In general, the fees charged for separate accounts are somewhat lower than the fees assessed to the Funds. The Trustees recognized that the differences in fees are attributable to a variety of factors, including the differences in services provided, product distribution, portfolio investment policies, investor profiles, account sizes and regulatory requirements. The Trustees noted, in particular, that the range of services provided to the Funds is more extensive than that provided to managed separate accounts. As described in further detail above, such additional services include, but are not limited to, providing: product management, fund administration, oversight of third party service providers, administration of board relations, and legal support. Funds further operate in a highly regulated industry requiring extensive compliance functions compared to the other investment products. In addition to the costs of the additional services, administrative costs may also be greater for funds as the average account size for separate accounts is notably larger than the retail accounts of funds. Given the differences in the product structures, particularly the extensive services provided to closed-end municipal funds, the Trustees believe such facts justify the different levels of fees. 3. PROFITABILITY OF FUND ADVISER In conjunction with its review of fees, the Trustees also considered the profitability of Nuveen Investments for advisory activities (which incorporated Nuveen's wholly-owned affiliated sub-advisers). The Trustees reviewed data comparing Nuveen's profitability with other fund sponsors prepared by three independent third party service providers as well as comparisons of the revenues, expenses and profits margins of various unaffiliated management firms with similar amounts of assets under management prepared by Nuveen. The Trustees further reviewed the 2005 Annual Report for Nuveen Investments. In considering profitability, the Trustees recognized the inherent limitations in determining profitability as well as the difficulties in comparing the profitability of other unaffiliated advisers. Profitability may be affected by numerous factors, including the methodology for allocating expenses, the adviser's business mix, the types of funds managed, the adviser's capital structure and cost of capital. Further, individual fund or product line profitability of other sponsors is generally not publicly available. Accordingly, the profitability information that is publicly available from various investment advisory or management firms may not be representative of the industry. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in reviewing profitability, the Trustees reviewed Nuveen's methodology and assumptions for allocating expenses across product lines to determine profitability. In this regard, the methods of allocation used appeared reasonable. The Trustees also, to the extent available, compared Nuveen's profitability margins (including pre- and post-marketing profit margins) with the profitability of various unaffiliated management firms. The Trustees noted that Nuveen's profitability is enhanced due to its efficient internal business model. The Trustees also recognized that while a number of factors affect profitability, Nuveen's profitability may change as fee waivers and/or expense reimbursement commitments of Nuveen to various funds in the Nuveen complex expire. To keep apprised of profitability and developments that may affect profitability, the Trustees have requested profitability analysis be provided periodically during the year. Based on their review, the Trustees were satisfied that the Fund Adviser's level of profitability was reasonable in light of the services provided. In evaluating the reasonableness of the compensation, the Trustees also considered any other revenues paid to the Fund Adviser as well as any indirect benefits (such as soft dollar arrangements, if any) the Fund Adviser and its affiliates are expected to receive that are directly attributable to their management of the Funds, if any. See Section E below for additional information. Based on their review of the overall fee arrangements of the applicable Fund, the Trustees determined that the advisory fees and expenses of the respective Fund were reasonable. 92 D. ECONOMIES OF SCALE AND WHETHER FEE LEVELS REFLECT THESE ECONOMIES OF SCALE With respect to economies of scale, the Trustees recognized the potential benefits resulting from the costs of a fund being spread over a larger asset base as a fund grows. To help ensure the shareholders share in these benefits, the Trustees have reviewed and considered the breakpoints in the advisory fee schedules that reduce advisory fees as the applicable Fund's assets grow. In addition to advisory fee breakpoints as assets in a respective Fund rise, after lengthy discussions with management, the Board also approved a complex-wide fee arrangement that was introduced on August 1, 2004. Pursuant to the complex-wide fee arrangement, the fees of the funds in the Nuveen complex, including the Funds, are reduced as the assets in the fund complex reach certain levels. In evaluating the complex-wide fee arrangement, the Trustees considered, among other things, the historic and expected fee savings to shareholders as assets grow, the amount of fee reductions at various asset levels, and that the arrangement would extend to all funds in the Nuveen complex. The Trustees noted that 2005 was the first full year to reflect the fee reductions from the complex wide fee arrangement. The Trustees also considered the impact, if any, the complex-wide fee arrangement may have on the level of services provided. Based on their review, the Trustees concluded that the breakpoint schedule and complex-wide fee arrangement currently was acceptable and desirable in providing benefits from economies of scale to shareholders. E. INDIRECT BENEFITS In evaluating fees, the Trustees also considered any indirect benefits or profits the Fund Adviser or its affiliates may receive as a result of its relationship with each Fund. In this regard, the Trustees considered revenues received by affiliates of the Fund Adviser for serving as agent at Nuveen's preferred trading desk and for serving as a co-manager in the initial public offering of new closed-end exchange traded funds. In addition to the above, the Trustees considered whether the Fund Adviser received any benefits from soft dollar arrangements. With respect to NAM, the Trustees noted that NAM does not currently have any soft dollar arrangements and does not pay excess brokerage commissions (or spreads on principal transactions) in order to receive research services; however, the Fund Adviser may from time to time receive and have access to research generally provided to institutional clients. The Trustees did not identify any single factor discussed previously as all-important or controlling. The Trustees, including a majority of independent Trustees, concluded that the terms of the Investment Management Agreements were fair and reasonable, that the Fund Adviser's fees are reasonable in light of the services provided to each Fund, and that the renewal of the Investment Management Agreements should be approved. 93 Reinvest Automatically EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY Sidebar text: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Exchange-Traded Closed-End Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. 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 the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions. FLEXIBLE You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

CEO CERTIFICATION DISCLOSURE Each Fund's Chief Executive Officer has submitted to the New York Stock Exchange the annual CEO certification as required by Section 303A.12(a) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Each Fund has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission the certification of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered. AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions. LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's or Fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's portfolio of bonds. MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market price. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment. BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES Robert P.

CODE OF ETHICS. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. There were no amendments to or waivers from the Code during the period covered by this report. The registrant has posted the code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/etf. (To view the code, click on the Investor Resources drop down menu box, click on Fund Governance and then click on Code of Conduct.) ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees determined that the registrant has at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee financial expert is Jack B. Evans, Chairman of the Audit Committee, who is "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. Evans was formerly President and Chief Operating Officer of SCI Financial Group, Inc., a full service registered broker-dealer and registered investment adviser ("SCI"). As part of his role as President and Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Evans actively supervised the Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO") and actively supervised the CFO's preparation of financial statements and other filings with various regulatory authorities. In such capacity, Mr. Evans was actively involved in the preparation of SCI's financial statements and the resolution of issues raised in connection therewith. Mr. Evans has also served on the audit committee of various reporting companies. At such companies, Mr. Evans was involved in the oversight of audits, audit plans, and the preparation of financial statements. Mr. Evans also formerly chaired the audit committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund The following tables show the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund to its accountant during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed. The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

(1) "Audit Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for the audit of the Fund's annual financial statements and services provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements. (2) "Audit Related Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for assurance and related services reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of financial statements and are not reported under "Audit Fees". (3) "Tax Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for professional services for tax advice, tax compliance, and tax planning. (4) "All Other Fees" are the aggregate fees billed for products and services other than "Audit Fees", "Audit Related Fees", and "Tax Fees". SERVICES THAT THE FUND'S AUDITOR BILLED TO THE ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE PROVIDERS The following tables show the amount of fees billed by Ernst & Young LLP to Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM" or the "Adviser"), and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with NAM ("Control Affiliate") that provides ongoing services to the Fund ("Affiliated Fund Service Provider"), for engagements directly related to the Fund's operations and financial reporting, during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. The tables also show the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund's audit is completed.

(1) The amounts reported for the Fund under the column heading "Tax Fees" represents amounts billed to the Adviser exclusively for the preparation for the Fund's tax return, the cost of which is borne by the Adviser. In the aggregate, for all Nuveen funds for which Ernst & Young LLP serves as independent registered public accounting firm, these fees amounted to $275,000 in 2006 and $282,575 in 2005. NON-AUDIT SERVICES The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP billed during the Fund's last two full fiscal years for non-audit services. The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provides to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Services Provider, if the engagement related directly to the Fund's operations and financial reporting (except for those subject to the de minimis exception described above). The Audit Committee requested and received information from Ernst & Young LLP about any non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP rendered during the Fund's last fiscal year to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider. The Committee considered this information in evaluating Ernst & Young LLP's independence.
FISCAL YEAR ENDED TOTAL NON-AUDIT FEES BILLED TO ADVISER AND AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE TOTAL NON-AUDIT FEES PROVIDERS (ENGAGEMENTS BILLED TO ADVISER AND RELATED DIRECTLY TO THE AFFILIATED FUND SERVICE TOTAL NON-AUDIT FEE OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL PROVIDERS (ALL OTHER BILLED TO FUND REPORTING OF THE FUND) ENGAGEMENTS) TOTAL - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August 31, 2006 $ 3,300 $ 2,200 $ 0 $ 5,500 August 31, 2005 $ 3,709 $ 2,200 $ 0 $ 5,909
"Non-Audit Fees billed to Adviser" for both fiscal year ends represent "Tax Fees" billed to Adviser in their respective amounts from the previous table. Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures. Generally, the Audit Committee must approve (i) all non-audit services to be performed for the Fund by the Fund's independent accountants and (ii) all audit and non-audit services to be performed by the Fund's independent accountants for the Affiliated Fund Service Providers with respect to operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Regarding tax and research projects conducted by the independent accountants for the Fund and Affiliated Fund Service Providers (with respect to operations and financial reports of the Fund) such engagements will be (i) pre-approved by the Audit Committee if they are expected to be for amounts greater than $10,000; (ii) reported to the Audit Committee chairman for his verbal approval prior to engagement if they are expected to be for amounts under $10,000 but greater than $5,000; and (iii) reported to the Audit Committee at the next Audit Committee meeting if they are expected to be for an amount under $5,000. ITEM 5. AUDIT COMMITTEE OF LISTED REGISTRANTS. The registrant's Board of Directors or Trustees has a separately designated Audit Committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (15 U.S.C. 78c(a)(58)(A)). The members of the audit committee are Robert P. Bremner, Lawrence H. Brown, Jack B. Evans, William J. Schneider and Eugene S. Sunshine. ITEM 6. SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS. See Portfolio of Investments in Item 1. ITEM 7. DISCLOSURE OF PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES. The registrant invests its assets primarily in municipal bonds and cash management securities. On rare occasions the registrant may acquire, directly or through a special purpose vehicle, equity securities of a municipal bond issuer whose bonds the registrant already owns when such bonds have deteriorated or are expected shortly to deteriorate significantly in credit quality. The purpose of acquiring equity securities generally will be to acquire control of the municipal bond issuer and to seek to prevent the credit deterioration or facilitate the liquidation or other workout of the distressed issuer's credit problem. In the course of exercising control of a distressed municipal issuer, NAM may pursue the registrant's interests in a variety of ways, which may entail negotiating and executing consents, agreements and other arrangements, and otherwise influencing the management of the issuer. NAM does not consider such activities proxy voting for purposes of Rule 206(4)-6 under the 1940 Act, but nevertheless provides reports to the registrant's Board of Trustees on its control activities on a quarterly basis. In the rare event that a municipal issuer were to issue a proxy or that the registrant were to receive a proxy issued by a cash management security, NAM would either engage an independent third party to determine how the proxy should be voted or vote the proxy with the consent, or based on the instructions, of the registrant's Board of Trustees or its representative. A member of NAM's legal department would oversee the administration of the voting, and ensure that records were maintained in accordance with Rule 206(4)-6, reports were filed with the SEC on Form N-PX, and the results provided to the registrant's Board of Trustees and made available to shareholders as required by applicable rules. ITEM 8. PORTFOLIO MANAGERS OF CLOSED-END MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT COMPANIES. THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER The following individual has primary responsibility for the day-to-day implementation of the registrant's investment strategies: NAME FUND Scott R. Romans Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the registrant, the portfolio manager is also primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the following accounts:
NUMBER OF PORTFOLIO MANAGER TYPE OF ACCOUNT MANAGED ACCOUNTS ASSETS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott R. Romans Registered Investment Company 28 $5.74 billion Other Pooled Investment Vehicles 0 $0 Other Accounts 4 $.25 million
* Assets are as of August 31, 2006. None of the assets in these accounts are subject to an advisory fee based on performance. Compensation. Each portfolio manager's compensation consists of three basic elements--base salary, cash bonus and long-term incentive compensation. The compensation strategy is to annually compare overall compensation, including these three elements, to the market in order to create a compensation structure that is competitive and consistent with similar financial services companies. As discussed below, several factors are considered in determining each portfolio manager's total compensation. In any year these factors may include, among others, the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended by the portfolio manager's investment team, the investment performance of the accounts managed by the portfolio manager, and the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent company of NAM). Although investment performance is a factor in determining the portfolio manager's compensation, it is not necessarily a decisive factor. The portfolio manager's performance is evaluated in part by comparing manager's performance against a specified investment benchmark. This fund-specific benchmark is a customized subset (limited to bonds in each Fund's specific state and with certain maturity parameters) of the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index, an index comprised of bonds held by managed municipal bond fund customers of Standard & Poor's Securities Pricing, Inc. that are priced daily and whose fund holdings aggregate at least $2 million. As of August 30, 2006, the S&P/Investortools Municipal Bond index was comprised of 47,346 securities with an aggregate current market value of $879 billion. Base salary. Each portfolio manager is paid a base salary that is set at a level determined by NAM in accordance with its overall compensation strategy discussed above. NAM is not under any current contractual obligation to increase a portfolio manager's base salary. Cash bonus. Each portfolio manager is also eligible to receive an annual cash bonus. The level of this bonus is based upon evaluations and determinations made by each portfolio manager's supervisors, along with reviews submitted by his peers. These reviews and evaluations often take into account a number of factors, including the effectiveness of the investment strategies recommended to the NAM's investment team, the performance of the accounts for which he serves as portfolio manager relative to any benchmarks established for those accounts, his effectiveness in communicating investment performance to stockholders and their representatives, and his contribution to the NAM's investment process and to the execution of investment strategies. The cash bonus component is also impacted by the overall performance of Nuveen Investments, Inc. in achieving its business objectives. Long-term incentive compensation. Each portfolio manager is eligible to receive bonus compensation in the form of equity-based awards issued in securities issued by Nuveen Investments, Inc. The amount of such compensation is dependent upon the same factors articulated for cash bonus awards but also factors in his long-term potential with the firm. Material Conflicts of Interest. Each portfolio manager's simultaneous management of the registrant and the other accounts noted above may present actual or apparent conflicts of interest with respect to the allocation and aggregation of securities orders placed on behalf of the Registrant and the other account. NAM, however, believes that such potential conflicts are mitigated by the fact that the NAM has adopted several policies that address potential conflicts of interest, including best execution and trade allocation policies that are designed to ensure (1) that portfolio management is seeking the best price for portfolio securities under the circumstances, (2) fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities among accounts over time and (3) compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. All accounts are to be treated in a non-preferential manner, such that allocations are not based upon account performance, fee structure or preference of the portfolio manager. In addition, NAM has adopted a Code of Conduct that sets forth policies regarding conflicts of interest. Beneficial Ownership of Securities. As of the August 31, 2006, the portfolio manager beneficially owned the following dollar range of equity securities issued by the Registrant and other Nuveen Funds managed by NAM's municipal investment team.
