California Tax-Free Money Market - Portfolio Commentary

PORTFOLIO MANAGER: TODD PARDULA

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, California Tax-Free Money Market
outperformed the average return of the 64 California tax-exempt money market
funds tracked by Lipper Inc. The fund also outpaced its Lipper peer group
average over the five- and 10-year periods ended August 31 despite avoiding the
generally higher-yielding securities that are subject to the federal alternative
minimum tax. (See the previous page for additional performance information.)

ECONOMIC AND MARKET REVIEW

Economic growth strengthened early in the one-year period. The U.S. economy, as
measured by gross domestic product (GDP), expanded at a 6.1% annual rate in the
second half of 2003--its strongest six months since 1984. Job growth, which was
essentially flat in 2003, finally began to pick up steam in the spring of 2004,
and retail sales also surged.

As a result, the Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates for the first
time in more than four years. The Fed increased its federal funds rate target
twice, on June 30 and August 10, boosting it from 1% (a 46-year low) to 1.5%. In
general, money market rates tracked the Fed's actions--the fund's yield rose
from 0.39% to 0.85% during the period.

The past year was an eventful one for the state of California. Governor Gray
Davis was recalled by California voters in October 2003 and replaced by Arnold
Schwarzenegger, who inherited the enormous fiscal problems that gave California
the lowest credit rating of any state in the nation. However, the state was able
to raise more than $11 billion in a voter-approved bond issue in the spring of
2004, helping ease California's most immediate financial crunch. Although the
state still has work to do to get its fiscal house in order, the progress made
so far earned California a credit rating upgrade from the major rating agencies.

PORTFOLIO STRATEGY

Throughout the fiscal year, we continued to invest a majority of the portfolio's
assets in short-term variable-rate demand notes (also known as floating-rate
notes, or "floaters"). For most of the one-year period, 75-80% of the portfolio
was invested in floaters, though this percentage rose to 85% toward the end of
the period.

The fund's weighted average maturity began the fiscal year at around 35 days,
but we purchased some longer-term municipal money market securities in September
and October that we believed offered attractive yields. These purchases extended
the average maturity out to about 45 days. Over the next six months, however, we
allowed the average maturity to gradually shorten, reaching 12 days in late
April as the portfolio's longer-term securities moved closer to maturity.

We extended the portfolio's average maturity back out to about 45 days in June,
purchasing one-year notes at a time when many municipalities were issuing these
securities to finance seasonal cash-flow needs for the upcoming fiscal year. The
fund's average maturity remained around 45 days through the end of the fiscal
year.

We will continue to pursue the fund's investment objective by investing in
high-quality short-term municipal securities with income exempt from federal and
California income tax.

California Limited-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary

PORTFOLIO MANAGER: ROBERT MILLER

RETURN SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE

California Limited-Term Tax-Free (Cal Limited-Term) returned 2.75% for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, outpacing its return for the prior fiscal
year. By comparison, the 13 funds in Lipper's California Short/Intermediate
Municipal Debt Funds category averaged a total return of 3.29% for the 12
months. (Please see page 9 for additional details.)

From a longer-term perspective, Cal Limited-Term remained fairly competitive.
However, peer-compared performance for the just-ended fiscal year fell below
where we were aiming. We discuss that result in the Portfolio Positioning &
Strategies section later on in this commentary.

YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE

Cal Limited-Term seeks safety of principal and high current income that is
exempt from federal and California income tax. Along those lines, the fund's
30-day SEC yield finished out the fiscal year at 1.92%. (Please see the
accompanying yields table.)

Although the 30-day SEC yield finished almost unchanged from the start of the 12
months, it was noticeably higher than at the end of February, when the yield was
1.45%. That disparity helps to illustrate what was essentially two very
different periods for shorter-term municipal bonds: the first half of the fiscal
year, when bonds generally rallied and yields fell amid expectations for
interest rates to remain on hold for the foreseeable future, and the second
half, during which short-term interest rates rose and bond prices edged lower.

ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE

U.S. bond prices rose and yields fell for the fiscal year as economic growth
slowed and inflation spiked, then settled down. After growing at a 7.4% annual
rate in the third quarter of 2003, U.S. economic expansion slowed to a 3.3% rate
in the second quarter of 2004 as higher energy prices reduced consumer spending
and threatened corporate profits.

Inflation became a concern as the monthly change in the "core" consumer price
index (CPI minus energy and food prices) rose 0.4% in March 2004, the highest
since November 2001. That, plus spikes in job growth and retail sales, helped
trigger a bond selloff in April

California Limited-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary

and May of 2004 and helped motivate the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to start
raising its overnight interest rate target to combat potential future inflation.

But core inflation returned to a mild 0.1% monthly rate during the summer of
2004 and job growth decelerated as the economy hit what the Fed described as a
"soft patch." That helped produce a fiscal-year-ending bond rally that--when
matched with gains from the beginning of the period--more than offset the
April-May losses.

For the fiscal year, tax-exempt municipal securities generally outperformed
taxable securities -- the broad Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index returned
7.11% compared with 6.13% for the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index.
Municipals benefited from declining issuance (less supply) and continued
improvement in state economic growth, which meant higher tax revenues.

PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGIES

In addition to high current income, Cal Limited-Term is conservatively managed
to seek safety of principal.

Along those lines, we established what we believed to be a fairly low
sensitivity to interest rates and a bond portfolio structure that we expected to
perform well in a rising-rate environment. However, municipal bond prices held
up surprisingly well, especially during the first half of the fiscal year.

In fact, Cal Limited-Term's total return for the first six months was slightly
higher than its return for the fiscal year as a whole. Had the portfolio been
less conservatively positioned, those first-half gains might have been higher
and boosted the fund's relative performance for the year as a whole. The fund's
second-half return was narrowly negative, providing us with a comparatively
limited opportunity to overcome first-half performance.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to pursuing the fund's investment objective
by investing in municipal securities with income payments exempt from federal
and California income tax.

California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary

PORTFOLIO MANAGER: ROBERT MILLER

RETURN SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE

California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free (Cal Intermediate-Term) returned 5.13% for
the fiscal year ended August 31, 2004, reflecting a moderately upbeat
performance by municipal bonds. By comparison, the average return of Cal
Intermediate-Term's 44-fund Lipper peer group was 4.98%. (Please see page 17 for
additional details.)

From a longer-term perspective, Cal Intermediate-Term also outperformed the peer
group's average annual total returns for the five- and 10-year periods ended
August 31, 2004.

In addition, lower-than-average expenses continued to lend a helping hand. As of
August 31, 2004, the fund's annual expense ratio was 50 basis points (0.50%)
compared with the Lipper group average of 90 basis points. All else being equal,
lower expenses typically translate into higher yields and returns.

YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE

Cal Intermediate-Term seeks safety of principal and high current income that is
exempt from federal and California income tax.

Along those lines, the fund's 30-day SEC yield finished out the fiscal year at
2.64%, down from 2.95% at the end of August 2003. The accompanying yields table
translates the fund's 30-day SEC yield as of August 31, 2004, into its higher,
tax-equivalent versions.

ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE

U.S. bond prices rose and yields fell for the fiscal year as economic growth
slowed and inflation spiked, then settled down. After growing at a 7.4% annual
rate in the third quarter of 2003, U.S. economic expansion slowed to a 3.3% rate
in the second quarter of 2004 as higher energy prices reduced consumer spending
and threatened corporate profits.

Inflation became a concern as the monthly change in the "core" consumer price
index (CPI minus energy and food prices) rose 0.4% in March 2004, the highest
since November 2001. That, plus spikes in job growth and retail sales, helped
trigger a bond selloff in April and May of 2004 and helped motivate the Federal
Reserve (the Fed) to start

California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary

raising its overnight interest rate target to combat potential future inflation.

But core inflation returned to a mild 0.1% monthly rate during the summer of
2004 and job growth decelerated as the economy hit what the Fed described as a
"soft patch." That helped produce a fiscal-year-ending bond rally that--when
matched with gains from the beginning of the period--more than offset the
April-May losses.

For the fiscal year, tax-exempt municipal securities generally outperformed
taxable securities -- the broad Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index returned
7.11% compared with 6.13% for the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index.
Municipals benefited from declining issuance (less supply) and continued
improvement in state economic growth, which meant higher tax revenues.

PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGIES

In addition to seeking high current income, Cal Intermediate-Term seeks safety
of principal. We continued to invest the portfolio in quality municipal
securities to help accomplish that objective, focusing primarily on triple-A or
double-A bonds, which represented 83% of the portfolio at the end of August. We
also remained on the lookout for what we believed were attractively valued
investment-grade securities with lower credit ratings and compelling credit
stories.

In addition, we reduced Cal Intermediate-Term's duration (a widely used gauge of
interest rate sensitivity) from 4.9 years as of the end of August 2003, to 4.6
years as of the end of August 2004. That strategy was chosen in anticipation of
higher interest rates as the economy improved and inflation became a more
pressing concern, but didn't pay off as well as we'd hoped due to the bond
market's performance.

As those strategies hopefully help to illustrate, we remain committed to
pursuing the fund's investment objective by investing in municipal securities
with income payments exempt from federal and California income tax.

California Long-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary

PORTFOLIO MANAGER: DAVE MACEWEN

RETURN SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE

California Long-Term Tax-Free (Cal Long-Term) returned 6.83% for the fiscal year
ended August 31, 2004, the fund's highest fiscal-year return since 2001, as the
U.S. bond market rallied and yields fell.

Though the fund outperformed the average return of its Lipper California
Municipal Debt Funds peer group for the five- and 10-year periods ended August
31, 2004, it trailed for the fiscal year, which we'll discuss in the Portfolio
Positioning & Strategy section on page 29.

The fund and its peer group underperformed the Lehman Brothers Long-Term
Municipal Bond Index because the index's longer duration (greater price
sensitivity to interest rate changes) boosted its return--municipal bonds with
longer durations outperformed those with shorter durations during the fiscal
year (see pages 26-27 for total return comparisons).

YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE

Our investment objectives are to seek safety of principal and high current
income that is exempt from federal and California income tax. As of August 31,
2004, we'd invested approximately 76% of the portfolio in debt securities with
maturities of 10 years or longer. These bonds offer higher yields as
compensation for their potentially increased exposure to inflation risk.

The fund's 30-day SEC yield declined from 3.92% on August 31, 2003 to 3.38% at
fiscal year end as the bond market rallied. That still translated to attractive
tax-equivalent yields for California investors (see the yield table above).

ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE

U.S. bond prices rose and yields fell for the fiscal year as economic growth
slowed and inflation spiked, then settled down. After growing at a 7.4% annual
rate in the third quarter of 2003, U.S. economic expansion slowed to a 3.3% rate
in the second quarter of 2004 as higher energy prices reduced consumer spending
and threatened corporate profits.

Inflation became a concern as the monthly change in the "core" consumer price
index (CPI minus energy and food prices) rose 0.4% in March 2004, the highest
since November 2001. That,

California Long-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary

plus spikes in job growth and retail sales, helped trigger a bond selloff in
April and May of 2004 and helped motivate the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to start
raising its overnight interest rate target to combat potential future inflation.

But core inflation returned to a mild 0.1% monthly rate during the summer of
2004 and job growth decelerated as the economy hit what the Fed described as a
"soft patch." That helped produce a fiscal-year-ending bond rally that--when
matched with gains from the beginning of the period--more than offset the
April-May losses.

For the fiscal year, tax-exempt municipal securities generally outperformed
taxable securities -- the broad Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index returned
7.11% compared with 6.13% for the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index.
Municipals benefited from declining issuance (less supply) and continued
improvement in state economic growth, which meant higher tax revenues.

PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGY

When we seek safety of principal, we try to reduce credit risk (the possibility
that a bond won't be paid) by buying QUALITY debt securities--bonds either rated
independently to be in the top four credit quality categories, or determined by
us to be of comparable quality. As of August 31, 2004, the portfolio's weighted
average credit quality was AA+, based on holdings that were primarily rated AAA
(see the table below) and 71% insured.

To maintain principal, we also make adjustments to duration. The table at the
bottom of page 28 shows that we shortened duration during the fiscal year. We
did that to reduce the portfolio's price volatility in the event of strong
economic growth, higher inflation, and rising interest rates. Relative to the
broad municipal bond market, the shorter duration helped the portfolio during
the second-quarter 2004 selloff but not for the fiscal year as a whole--the fund
underperformed as longer-duration portfolios benefited more from the decline in
yields and increase in bond prices.

We will continue to pursue the fund's investment objective by investing
primarily in municipal securities with income exempt from federal and California
income tax.

*FUTURES CONTRACTS typically are based on an index and tend to track the
 performance of the index or specific securities while remaining very liquid
 (easy to buy and sell). By selling futures, the fund hedges its investments
 against price fluctuations.

NOTES TO SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

    to maturity at purchase. Zero-coupon securities are issued at a substantial
    discount from their value at maturity.

(2) Escrowed to maturity in U.S. government securities or state and local
    government securities.

(3) Inverse floaters have interest rates that move inversely to market interest
    rates. Inverse floaters typically have durations longer than long-term

Shareholder Fee Example

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including
sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2)
ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees;
and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your
ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs
with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2004 to August 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses
for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you
invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First,
identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by
$1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then
multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During
Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century fund, or Institutional
Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American
Century account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account),
American Century may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if
the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares
automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your
total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all
PERSONAL ACCOUNTS (including American Century Brokerage accounts) registered
under your Social Security number. PERSONAL ACCOUNTS include individual
accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell
Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover,
SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you
have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century
Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not
charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online.
If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be
reduced by the fee amount.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and
hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of the
fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not
the actual return of a fund's share class. The hypothetical account values and
expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or
expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the
ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this
5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of the other funds.

                                                                    (continued)

Shareholder Fee Example

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales
charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of
the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you
determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if
these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as
an open-end management investment company. California Tax-Free Money Market Fund
(Tax-Free Money Market), California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund (Limited-Term),
California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Fund (Intermediate-Term), and California
Long-Term Tax-Free Fund (Long-Term) (collectively, the funds) are four funds in
a series issued by the trust. The funds are diversified under the 1940 Act. The
funds' investment objectives are to seek safety of principal and high current
income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes. The funds invest
primarily in municipal obligations with maturities based on the maturity range
described in that fund's name. The following is a summary of the funds'
significant accounting policies.

SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities of Tax-Free Money Market are valued at
amortized cost, which approximates current market value. Securities of
Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term are valued at current market
value as provided by a commercial pricing service or at the mean of the most
recent bid and asked prices. Debt securities maturing within 60 days may be
valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized discount or premium. If the
investment manager, American Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM),
determines that the current market price of a security in a non-money market
fund is not readily available, the investment manager may determine its fair
value in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees if such
fair value determination would materially impact a fund's net asset value.
Valuations may not be readily available if, for example: an event occurred after
the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security principally trades (but
before the close of the New York Stock Exchange) that was likely to have changed
the value of the security; a security has been declared in default; trading in a
security has been halted during the trading day; or the demand for the security
(as reflected by its trading volume) is insufficient for quoted prices to be
reliable.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS -- Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade
date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis,
which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

INVESTMENT INCOME -- Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and
includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD COMMITMENTS -- The funds may engage in securities
transactions on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Under these
arrangements, the securities' prices and yields are fixed on the date of the
commitment, but payment and delivery are scheduled for a future date. During
this period, securities are subject to market fluctuations. The funds will
segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on their
records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

FUTURES CONTRACTS -- Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term may enter
into futures contracts in order to manage their exposure to changes in market
conditions. One of the risks of entering into futures contracts is the
possibility that the change in value of the contract may not correlate with the
changes in value of the underlying securities. Upon entering into a futures
contract, Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term are required to deposit
either cash or securities in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the
contract value (initial margin). Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made
or received daily, in cash, by the funds. The variation margin is equal to the
daily change in the contract value and is recorded as unrealized gains and
losses. Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term recognize a realized gain
or loss when the contract is closed or expires. Net realized and unrealized
gains or losses occurring during the holding period of futures contracts are a
component of realized gain (loss) on investment transactions and unrealized
appreciation (depreciation) on investments, respectively.

INCOME TAX STATUS -- It is each fund's policy to distribute substantially all
net investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise
qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state
income taxes.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income are
declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any,
are generally declared and paid annually. Tax-Free Money Market does not expect
to realize any long-term capital gains, and accordingly, does not expect to pay
any capital gains distributions.

                                                                    (continued)

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

USE OF ESTIMATES -- The financial statements are prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

MANAGEMENT FEES -- The trust has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM,
under which ACIM provides the funds with investment advisory and management
services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee). The
Agreement provides that all expenses of the funds, except brokerage commissions,
taxes, portfolio insurance (money market funds only), interest, fees and
expenses of those trustees who are not considered "interested persons" as
defined in the 1940 Act (including counsel fees) and extraordinary expenses,
will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and accrued daily based on the daily
net assets of each fund and paid monthly in arrears. The fee consists of (1) an
Investment Category Fee based on the daily net assets of the funds and certain
other accounts managed by the investment manager that are in the same broad
investment category as each of the funds and (2) a Complex Fee based on the
daily net assets of all the funds managed by ACIM. The rates for the Investment
Category Fee range from 0.1570% to 0.2700% for Tax-Free Money Market and from
0.1625% to 0.2800% for Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term. The rates
for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. For the year ended August 31,
2004, the effective annual management fee was 0.50% for Tax-Free Money Market,
Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term.

MONEY MARKET INSURANCE -- Tax-Free Money Market, along with other money market
funds managed by ACIM, have entered into an insurance agreement with MBIA
Insurance Corporation (MBIA). MBIA provides limited coverage for certain loss
events including issuer defaults as to payment of principal or interest and
insolvency of a credit enhancement provider. Tax-Free Money Market pays annual
premiums equal to 0.018% to MBIA based on participating money market funds'
market value at January 31, 2004. The premiums are amortized daily over one
year.

RELATED PARTIES -- Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers
and/or directors, and, as a group, controlling stockholders of American Century
Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the trust's investment manager, ACIM, the
distributor of the trust, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the
trust's transfer agent, American Century Services Corporation.

Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term have a bank line of credit
agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a wholly owned subsidiary
of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC.

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Investment transactions in municipal obligations, excluding short-term
investments, for the year ended August 31, 2004, were as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                INTERMEDIATE-
                             LIMITED-TERM           TERM              LONG-TERM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cost of purchases            $117,403,698        $85,341,240         $85,067,264
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proceeds from sales          $129,527,766       $123,693,885        $122,471,916
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All investment transactions for Tax-Free Money Market were considered short-term
during the year ended August 31, 2004.

                                                                    (continued)

AUGUST 31, 2004

4. BANK LINE OF CREDIT

Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term, along with certain other funds
managed by ACIM, have a $650,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement
with JPMCB. Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term may borrow money for
temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings
under the agreement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%.
Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term did not borrow from the line
during the year ended August 31, 2004.

5. RISK FACTORS

The funds concentrate their investments in a single state and therefore may have
more exposure to credit risk related to the state of California than a fund with
a broader geographical diversification. Income may be subject to state and local
taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax.

6. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2004
and August 31, 2003 were as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                             TAX-FREE MONEY MARKET           LIMITED-TERM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ordinary income             $3,615,059    $4,829,134    $5,974,260    $6,495,231
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term capital gains             --            --       $60,656      $308,836

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ordinary income            $17,002,416   $19,586,780   $21,411,265   $24,404,243
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term capital gains             --      $697,127      $174,471            --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income
or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for
federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character
of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial
statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain
capital accounts on the financial statements.

                                                                    (continued)

tax purposes.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
and Shareholders of the California Tax-Free Money Market Fund, California
Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund, California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Fund, and
California Long-Term Tax-Free Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including
the schedules of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the California Tax-Free Money
Market Fund, the California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund, the California
Intermediate-Term Tax-Free Fund and the California Long-Term Tax-Free Fund (four
of the five funds in the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal
Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Funds") at August 31, 2004, the results of
each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their
net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial
highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as
"financial statements") are the responsibility of the Funds' management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance
with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States), which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits, which included confirmation of securities at August 31, 2004 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

Management

The individuals listed below serve as trustees or officers of the funds. Each
trustee serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until
he or she retires. Effective March 2004, mandatory retirement age for
independent trustees is 73. However, the mandatory retirement age may be
extended for a period not to exceed two years with the approval of the remaining
independent trustees. The independent trustees have extended the mandatory
retirement age of Mr. Eisenstat to 75. Mr. Scott may serve until age 77 based on
an extension granted under retirement guidelines in effect prior to March 2004.
Those listed as interested trustees are "interested" primarily by virtue of
their engagement as officers of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC) or its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the funds' investment advisor, American
Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM); the funds' principal underwriter,
American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the funds' transfer
agent, American Century Services Corporation (ACSC).

The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are
independent; that is, they are not employees or officers of, and have no
financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including
ACIM, ACIS, and ACSC. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight registered
investment companies in the American Century family of funds.

All persons named as officers of the funds also serve in similar capacities for
the other 13 investment companies advised by ACIM, unless otherwise noted. Only
officers with policy-making functions are listed. No officer is compensated for
his or her service as an officer of the funds. The listed officers are
interested persons of the funds and are appointed or re-appointed on an annual
basis.

Additional Information

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

American Century Investment Management, Inc., the funds' manager, is responsible
for exercising the voting rights associated with the securities purchased and/or
held by the funds. A description of the policies and procedures the manager uses
in fulfilling this responsibility is available without charge, upon request, by
calling 1-800-345-2021. It is also available on American Century's Web site at

sec.gov. Information regarding how the investment manager voted proxies relating
to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is
available on the "About Us" page at americancentury.com. It is also available at

QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO DISCLOSURE

The funds will file their complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the first and third quarters of
each fiscal year on Form N-Q for periods ending on or after July 9, 2004. The
funds' Forms N-Q are available on the SEC's Web site at sec.gov, and may be
reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC.

for the most recent quarter of its fiscal year available on its Web site at
americancentury.com and, upon request, by calling 1-800-345-2021.

RISK FACTORS

The funds concentrate their investments in a single state and therefore may have
more exposure to credit risk related to the state of California than a fund with
a broader geographical diversification. Income may be subject to state and local
taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax.

Shareholder Fee Example

Fund shareholders may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including
sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and redemption/exchange fees; and (2)
ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees;
and other fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your
ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your fund and to compare these costs
with the ongoing cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the
period and held for the entire period from March 1, 2004 to August 31, 2004.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses
for each class. You may use the information, together with the amount you
invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. First,
identify the share class you own. Then simply divide your account value by
$1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then
multiply the result by the number under the heading "Expenses Paid During
Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

If you hold Investor Class shares of any American Century fund, or Institutional
Class shares of the American Century Diversified Bond Fund, in an American
Century account (i.e., not a financial intermediary or retirement plan account),
American Century may charge you a $12.50 semiannual account maintenance fee if
the value of those shares is less than $10,000. We will redeem shares
automatically in one of your accounts to pay the $12.50 fee. In determining your
total eligible investment amount, we will include your investments in all
PERSONAL ACCOUNTS (including American Century Brokerage accounts) registered
under your Social Security number. PERSONAL ACCOUNTS include individual
accounts, joint accounts, UGMA/UTMA accounts, personal trusts, Coverdell
Education Savings Accounts and IRAs (including traditional, Roth, Rollover,
SEP-, SARSEP- and SIMPLE-IRAs), and certain other retirement accounts. If you
have only business, business retirement, employer-sponsored or American Century
Brokerage accounts, you are currently not subject to this fee. We will not
charge the fee as long as you choose to manage your accounts exclusively online.
If you are subject to the Account Maintenance Fee, your account value could be
reduced by the fee amount.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and
hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio of each class of the
fund and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not
the actual return of a fund's share class. The hypothetical account values and
expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or
expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the
ongoing costs of investing in your fund and other funds. To do so, compare this
5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the
shareholder reports of the other funds.

                                                                    (continued)

Shareholder Fee Example

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your
ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales
charges (loads) or redemption/exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of
the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you
determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if
these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

California High-Yield Municipal - Portfolio Commentary

PORTFOLIO MANAGER: STEVEN PERMUT

RETURN SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE

California High-Yield Municipal (Cal High-Yield) returned 8.48%* for the fiscal
year ended August 31, 2004, the fund's highest fiscal-year return since 2001 and
significantly above its average annual return since inception (see pages 2-3).
The fund performed well as the U.S. bond market rallied and yields fell.

Investors in Cal High-Yield benefited from above-average absolute AND
comparative returns for the fiscal year--the fund continued to rank highly among
California municipal debt funds (see page 2). Fund and peer group returns lagged
those of the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Municipal Bond Index because the index's
longer duration (greater price sensitivity to interest rate changes) boosted its
return.

YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE

Our investment objective is to seek high current income that is exempt from
federal and California income tax. As of August 31, 2004, we'd invested 56% of
the portfolio in below-investment-grade debt (either rated below BBB or unrated
but determined by us to be of equivalent quality). These bonds offer higher
yields as compensation for their perceived risk, which produces more income and
helps reduce the portfolio's price sensitivity to interest rate changes.

The fund's 30-day SEC yield declined from 5.09% on August 31, 2003 to 4.58% at
fiscal year end as the bond market rallied. That still translated to attractive
tax-equivalent yields for California investors (see the yield table above).

ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE

U.S. bond prices rose and yields fell for the fiscal year as economic growth
slowed and inflation spiked, then settled down. After growing at a 7.4% annual
rate in the third quarter of 2003, U.S. economic expansion slowed to a 3.3% rate
in the second quarter of 2004 as higher energy prices reduced consumer spending
and threatened corporate profits.

Inflation became a concern as the monthly change in the "core" consumer price
index (CPI minus energy and food prices) rose 0.4% in March 2004, the highest
since November 2001. That, plus spikes in job growth and retail sales, helped
trigger a bond selloff in April

California High-Yield Municipal - Portfolio Commentary

and May of 2004 and helped motivate the Federal Reserve (the Fed) to start
raising its overnight interest rate target to combat potential future inflation.

But core inflation returned to a mild 0.1% monthly rate during the summer of
2004 and job growth decelerated as the economy hit what the Fed described as a
"soft patch." That helped produce a fiscal-year-ending bond rally that--when
matched with gains from the beginning of the period--more than offset the
April-May losses.

For the fiscal year, tax-exempt municipal securities generally outperformed
taxable securities--the broad Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index returned
7.11% compared with 6.13% for the Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index.
Municipals benefited from declining issuance (less supply) and continued
improvement in state economic growth, which meant higher tax revenues.

PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGY

We use a consistent and disciplined approach (discussed below and in the Yield
Summary) with the portfolio that we believe has been key to the fund's success
over the last 10 years. In addition, given expectations of improving economic
conditions and higher interest rates in the longer term, we reduced the
portfolio's price sensitivity to interest rate changes (see the table at the
bottom of page 6).

We continued to employ techniques designed to realize capital appreciation as
well as income, including investments in land-based bonds, which represented the
portfolio's largest sector position at the beginning, middle, and end (see the
table above) of the fiscal year. Land-based bonds have potential for price
appreciation as economic conditions improve and/or the projects are developed
and their finances solidify.

We also focused on the foundations of our approach--thorough credit reviews and
careful security selection. Though past performance is no guarantee of future
results, we believe our process reduces the risks of potential downgrades and
defaults inherent to the high-yield sector; there have been no defaults in the
portfolio since the fund's inception. We will continue to pursue the fund's
investment objective by investing primarily in municipal securities with income
exempt from federal and California income tax.

Notes to Financial Statements

AUGUST 31, 2004

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION -- American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds (the
trust) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act) as
an open-end management investment company. California High-Yield Municipal Fund
(the fund) is one fund in a series issued by the trust. The fund is
non-diversified under the 1940 Act. The fund's investment objective is to seek
high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes. The
fund pursues this objective by investing a portion of its assets in lower-rated
and unrated municipal securities. The following is a summary of the fund's
significant accounting policies.

MULTIPLE CLASS -- The fund is authorized to issue the Investor Class, the A
Class, the B Class and the C Class. The A Class may incur an initial sales
charge. The A Class, B Class and C Class may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge. The share classes differ principally in their respective sales
charges and shareholder servicing and distribution expenses and arrangements.
All shares of the fund represent an equal pro rata interest in the assets of the
class to which such shares belong, and have identical voting, dividend,
liquidation and other rights and the same terms and conditions, except for class
specific expenses and exclusive rights to vote on matters affecting only
individual classes. Income, non-class specific expenses, and realized and
unrealized capital gains and losses of the fund are allocated to each class of
shares based on their relative net assets. Sale of the A Class, B Class and C
Class commenced on January 31, 2003, at which time the Investor Class was no
longer available to new investors.

SECURITY VALUATIONS -- Securities are valued through a commercial pricing
service or at the mean of the most recent bid and asked prices. Debt securities
maturing within 60 days may be valued at cost, plus or minus any amortized
discount or premium. If the investment manager, American Century Investment
Management, Inc. (ACIM), determines that the current market price of a security
owned by a non-money market fund is not readily available, the investment
manager may determine its fair value in accordance with procedures adopted by
the Board of Trustees if such fair value determination would materially impact a
fund's net asset value. Valuations may not be readily available if, for example:
an event occurred after the close of the exchange on which a portfolio security
principally trades (but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange) that
was likely to have changed the value of the security; a security has been
declared in default; trading in a security has been halted during the trading
day; or the demand for the security (as reflected by its trading volume) is
insufficient for quoted prices to be reliable.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS -- Security transactions are accounted for as of the trade
date. Net realized gains and losses are determined on the identified cost basis,
which is also used for federal income tax purposes.

INVESTMENT INCOME -- Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and
includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums.

WHEN-ISSUED AND FORWARD COMMITMENTS -- The fund may engage in securities
transactions on a when-issued or forward commitment basis. Under these
arrangements, the securities' prices and yields are fixed on the date of the
commitment, but payment and delivery are scheduled for a future date. During
this period, securities are subject to market fluctuations. The fund will
segregate cash, cash equivalents or other appropriate liquid securities on its
records in amounts sufficient to meet the purchase price.

INCOME TAX STATUS -- It is the fund's policy to distribute substantially all net
investment income and net realized gains to shareholders and to otherwise
qualify as a regulated investment company under provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal or state
income taxes.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS -- Distributions from net investment income are
declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any,
are generally declared and paid annually.

USE OF ESTIMATES -- The financial statements are prepared in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which
may require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of
the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

                                                                    (continued)

2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

MANAGEMENT FEES -- The trust has entered into a Management Agreement with ACIM,
under which ACIM provides the fund with investment advisory and management
services in exchange for a single, unified management fee (the fee) per class.
The Agreement provides that all expenses of the fund, except brokerage
commissions, taxes, interest, fees and expenses of those trustees who are not
considered "interested persons" as defined in the 1940 Act (including counsel
fees) and extraordinary expenses, will be paid by ACIM. The fee is computed and
accrued daily based on the daily net assets of the fund and paid monthly in
arrears. The fee consists of (1) an Investment Category Fee based on the daily
net assets of the funds and certain other accounts managed by the investment
manager that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a
Complex Fee based on the daily net assets of all the funds managed by ACIM. The
rates for the Investment Category Fee range from 0.1925% to 0.3100% and the
rates for the Complex Fee range from 0.2500% to 0.3100%. For the year ended
August 31, 2004, the effective annual management fee for the Investor, A, B and
C Classes was 0.53%.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE FEES -- The Board of Trustees has adopted a separate
Master Distribution and Individual Shareholder Services Plan for each of the A
Class, B Class and C Class (collectively, the plans), pursuant to Rule 12b-1 of
the 1940 Act. The plans provide that the B Class and C Class will pay American
Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS) the following annual distribution and
service fees:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               B            C
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distribution Fee                                             0.75%        0.75%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service Fee                                                  0.25%        0.25%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Effective January 2, 2004, the distribution fee for the C Class increased from
0.50% to 0.75%. This increase was approved by shareholders on November 21, 2003.
The plans provide that the A Class will pay ACIS an annual distribution and
service fee of 0.25%. The fees are computed and accrued daily and paid monthly
in arrears based on each class's daily closing net assets during the previous
month. The distribution fee provides compensation for expenses incurred in
connection with distributing shares of the classes including, but not limited
to, payments to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions that have entered
into sales agreements with respect to shares of the fund. The service fee
provides compensation for individual shareholder services rendered by
broker/dealers or other independent financial intermediaries. Fees incurred
under the plans during the year ended August 31, 2004, are detailed in the
Statement of Operations.

RELATED PARTIES -- Certain officers and trustees of the trust are also officers
and/or directors, and, as a group, controlling stockholders of American Century
Companies, Inc. (ACC), the parent of the trust's investment manager, ACIM, the
distributor of the trust, ACIS, and the trust's transfer agent, American Century
Services Corporation.

The fund has a bank line of credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB).
JPMCB is a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an
equity investor in ACC.

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investment securities, excluding short-term investments,
for the year ended August 31, 2004, were $66,756,239 and $65,720,652,
respectively.

                                                                    (continued)

5. BANK LINE OF CREDIT

The fund, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM, has a $650,000,000
unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB. The fund may borrow money
for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. Borrowings
under the agreement bear interest at the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%. The fund
did not borrow from the line during the year ended August 31, 2004.

6. RISK FACTORS

The fund concentrates its investments in a single state and therefore may have
more exposure to credit risk related to the state of California than a fund with
a broader geographical diversification. The fund invests primarily in
lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including
price volatility, liquidity risk, and default risk. Income may be subject to
state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax.

7. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2004
and August 31, 2003 were as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                         2004           2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTIONS PAID FROM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ordinary income                                       $18,179,529    $19,087,774
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Long-term capital gains                                        --             --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income
or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for
federal income tax purposes. These differences reflect the differing character
of certain income items and net realized gains and losses for financial
statement and tax purposes, and may result in reclassification among certain
capital accounts on the financial statements.

                                                                    (continued)

7. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

As of August 31, 2004, the components of distributable earnings on a tax-basis
and the federal tax cost of investments were as follows:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMPONENTS OF DISTRIBUTABLE EARNINGS AND TAX COST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal tax cost of investments                                    $336,441,952
================================================================================
Gross tax appreciation of investments                               $19,859,000
--------------------------------------------------------
Gross tax depreciation of investments                                   (90,729)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net tax appreciation of investments                                 $19,768,271
================================================================================
Undistributed ordinary income                                                --
--------------------------------------------------------
Accumulated capital losses                                          $(3,677,606)
--------------------------------------------------------
Capital loss deferral                                                        --
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost
for financial reporting purposes.

The accumulated capital losses listed above represent net capital loss
carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal
income tax purposes. Capital loss carryovers of $727,045 and $2,950,561 expire
in 2008 and 2009, respectively.

8. OTHER TAX INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The following information is provided pursuant to provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code.

The fund hereby designates $18,145,079 of exempt interest dividends for the
fiscal year ended August 31, 2004.

(1) Total return assumes reinvestment of net investment income and capital
    gains distributions, if any. The total return of the classes may not
    precisely reflect the class expense differences because of the impact of
    calculating the net asset values to two decimal places. If net asset values
    were calculated to three decimal places, the total return differences would
    more closely reflect the class expense differences. The calculation of net
    asset values to two decimal places is made in accordance with SEC guidelines
    and does not result in any gain or loss of value between one class and
    another.

(2) Total return assumes reinvestment of net investment income and capital
    gains distributions, if any, and does not include any applicable sales
    charges. Total returns for periods less than one year are not annualized.
    The total return of the classes may not precisely reflect the class expense
    differences because of the impact of calculating the net asset values to two
    decimal places. If net asset values were calculated to three decimal places,
    the total return differences would more closely reflect the class expense
    differences. The calculation of net asset values to two decimal places is
    made in accordance with SEC guidelines and does not result in any gain or
    loss of value between one class and another.

(3) Annualized.

(4) Portfolio turnover is calculated at the fund level. Percentage indicated
    was calculated for the year ended August 31, 2003.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Trustees of the American Century California Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
and Shareholders of the California High-Yield Municipal Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the California High-Yield Municipal
Fund (one of the five funds in the American Century California Tax-Free and
Municipal Funds, hereafter referred to as the "Fund") at August 31, 2004, the
results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets
for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights
for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements
and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), which require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation
of securities at August 31, 2004 by correspondence with the custodian and
brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Management

The individuals listed below serve as trustees or officers of the fund. Each
trustee serves until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until
he or she retires. Effective March 2004, mandatory retirement age for
independent trustees is 73. However, the mandatory retirement age may be
extended for a period not to exceed two years with the approval of the remaining
independent trustees. The independent trustees have extended the mandatory
retirement age of Mr. Eisenstat to 75. Mr. Scott may serve until age 77 based on
an extension granted under retirement guidelines in effect prior to March 2004.
Those listed as interested trustees are "interested" primarily by virtue of
their engagement as officers of American Century Companies, Inc. (ACC) or its
wholly-owned subsidiaries, including the fund's investment advisor, American
Century Investment Management, Inc. (ACIM); the fund's principal underwriter,
American Century Investment Services, Inc. (ACIS); and the fund's transfer
agent, American Century Services Corporation (ACSC).

The other trustees (more than three-fourths of the total number) are
independent; that is, they are not employees or officers of, and have no
financial interest in, ACC or any of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including
ACIM, ACIS, and ACSC. The trustees serve in this capacity for eight registered
investment companies in the American Century family of funds.

All persons named as officers of the fund also serve in similar capacities for
the other 13 investment companies advised by ACIM, unless otherwise noted. Only
officers with policy-making functions are listed. No officer is compensated for
his or her service as an officer of the fund. The listed officers are interested
persons of the fund and are appointed or re-appointed on an annual basis.

Share Class Information

Four classes of shares are authorized for sale by the fund: Investor Class, A
Class, Class B, and C Class. The total expense ratios of A, B, and C Class
shares are higher than that of Investor Class shares. ON JANUARY 31, 2003,
INVESTOR CLASS SHARES BECAME UNAVAILABLE TO NEW INVESTORS.

INVESTOR CLASS shares are available for purchase BY EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS in two
ways: 1) directly from American Century without any commissions or other fees;
or 2) through a broker-dealer, which may require payment of a transaction fee to
the broker.

A CLASS shares are sold primarily through institutions such as investment
advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. A Class shares are
sold at their offering price, which is net asset value plus an initial sales
charge that ranges from 4.50% to 0.00% for fixed-income funds, depending on the
amount invested. The initial sales charge is deducted from the purchase amount
before it is invested. A Class shares may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge (CDSC). There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of
dividends or capital gains. The prospectus contains information regarding
reductions and waivers of sales charges for A Class shares. A Class shares also
are subject to a 0.25% annual Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee.

B CLASS shares are sold primarily through institutions such as investment
advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. B Class shares
redeemed within six years of purchase are subject to a CDSC that declines from
5.00% during the first year after purchase to 0.00% the sixth year after
purchase. There is no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends
or capital gains. B Class shares also are subject to a 1.00% annual Rule 12b-1
service and distribution fee. B Class shares automatically convert to A Class
shares (with lower expenses) eight years after their purchase date.

C CLASS shares are sold primarily through institutions such as investment
advisors, banks, broker-dealers, and insurance companies. C Class shares
redeemed within 12 months of purchase are subject to a CDSC of 1.00%. There is
no CDSC on shares acquired through reinvestment of dividends or capital gains. C
Class shares also are subject to a Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fee of
1.00%.

All classes of shares represent a pro rata interest in the fund and generally
have the same rights and preferences.

Additional Information

PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES

American Century Investment Management, Inc., the fund's manager, is responsible
for exercising the voting rights associated with the securities purchased and/or
held by the fund. A description of the policies and procedures the manager uses
in fulfilling this responsibility is available without charge, upon request, by
calling 1-800-345-2021. It is also available on American Century's Web site at
americancentury.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission's Web site at
sec.gov. Information regarding how the investment manager voted proxies relating
to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30 is
available on the "About Us" page at americancentury.com. It is also available at
sec.gov.

QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO DISCLOSURE

The fund will file its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the first and third quarters of
each fiscal year on Form N-Q for the periods ending on or after July 9, 2004.
The fund's Form N-Q is available on the SEC's Web site at sec.gov, and may be
reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC.
Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by
calling 1-800-SEC-0330. The fund also makes its schedule of portfolio holdings
for the most recent quarter of its fiscal year available on its Web site at
americancentury.com and, upon request, by calling 1-800-345-2021.

RISK FACTORS

The fund concentrates its investments in a single state and therefore may have
more exposure to credit risk related to the state of California than a fund with
a broader geographical diversification. The fund invests primarily in
lower-rated debt securities, which are subject to substantial risks including
price volatility, liquidity risk, and default risk. Income may be subject to
state and local taxes and, if applicable, the alternative minimum tax.

          Regulation S-X.  Consequently,  none of such services were required to
          be approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C).

 (f)      The  percentage  of  hours  expended  on  the  principal  accountant's
          engagement to audit the registrant's financial statements for the most
          recent fiscal year that were  attributed to work  performed by persons
          other than the principal accountant's  full-time,  permanent employees
          was less than 50%.

(g)       The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's accountant for
          services rendered to the registrant,  and rendered to the registrant's
          investment  adviser  (not  including  any  sub-adviser  whose  role is
          primarily  portfolio  management and is subcontracted with or overseen
          by another investment adviser), and any entity controlling, controlled
          by, or under common  control with the adviser  that  provides  ongoing
          services to the  registrant  for each of the last two fiscal  years of
          the registrant were as follows:

          FY 2003:  $125,850
          FY 2004:  $28,380

(h)       The registrant's  investment  adviser and accountant have notified the
          registrant's  audit  committee  of all  non-audit  services  that were
          rendered by the registrant's accountant to the registrant's investment
          adviser,  its parent company,  and any entity  controlled by, or under
          common control with the investment  adviser that provides  services to
          the  registrant,  which services were not required to be  pre-approved
          pursuant to paragraph  (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation  S-X. The
          notification  provided to the  registrant's  audit committee  included
          sufficient  details  regarding such services to allow the registrant's
          audit  committee  to  consider  the  continuing  independence  of  its
          principal accountant.
