As the previous page illustrates, the fund has generally outpaced its Lipper peer group average over the long term, ranking in the top quartile of the Lipper category for the five- and ten-year periods ended February 28, 2005 (see the previous page for more performance information). ECONOMIC & MARKET REVIEW U.S. economic growth remained solid. The economy expanded at a 4.0% annual rate in the third quarter of 2004 and a 3.8% annual rate in the fourth quarter. For all of 2004, the U.S. economy grew by 4.4%, its best calendar year since 1999. Inflation also increased modestly during the past six months--the year-over-year change in the consumer price index as of February 28, 2005, was 3.0%, compared with 2.7% as of August 31, 2004. The Federal Reserve continued to raise short-term interest rates during the period. The Fed raised its federal funds rate target four times in the past six months, each time by a quarter-point. The Fed's efforts boosted the federal funds rate from 1.5% to 2.5%, its highest level since October 2001. Money market rates tracked the Fed's rate hikes. The three-month Treasury bill yield, a common benchmark for money market rates, rose from 1.59% to 2.76% during the six-month period. California Money Market's seven-day current yield rose from 0.85% to 1.36% over the same period. PORTFOLIO STRATEGY Short-term variable-rate demand notes (also known as floating-rate notes, or "floaters") continued to make up more than three-quarters of the portfolio during the six-month period. However, we reduced our position in floaters from about 85% of the portfolio at the beginning of the period to just under 80% by the end of the period. For the first time in about two years, we added tax-exempt commercial paper (CP) to the portfolio. Tax-exempt CP has a stated maturity of 365 days or less and is issued to finance seasonal cash flow needs or to provide short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing. We added tax-exempt CP to the portfolio in October and November, and it made up approximately 5% of the portfolio at the end of the period. The fund's weighted average maturity, which began the period at 42 days, peaked at just over 50 days in October and November. During the remainder of the six-month period, however, we allowed the average maturity to gradually shorten, ending the period at 28 days. OUR COMMITMENT We will continue to invest in high-quality short-term municipal securities with income exempt from both federal and California income taxes. ------ 3 California Tax-Free Money Market - Schedule of Investments FEBRUARY 28, 2005 (UNAUDITED) Principal Amount Value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SHORT-TERM MUNICIPAL SECURITIES -- 99.5% CALIFORNIA -- 99.5% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $10,719,653 ABN AMRO Leasetops Certificates Trust Rev., Series 2003-1, VRDN, 2.04%, 3/2/05 (AMBAC) (SBBPA: ABN AMRO Bank N.V.)

By comparison, the 17 funds in Lipper's California Short-Intermediate Municipal Debt Funds category averaged a total return of 1.16%. (See pages 8 and 9 for more performance information.) We discuss Cal Limited-Term's results and the strategies employed to produce them in the Portfolio Positioning & Strategy section on page 11. YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE Cal Limited-Term's 30-day SEC yield rose from 1.92% to 2.36% by the end of February, reflecting the rising-rate backdrop as well as our efforts to boost the portfolio's yield. That increase translated into higher tax-equivalent yields, too. For example, Cal Limited-Term's 30-day SEC yield as of February 28, 2005, equated to a 4.00% taxable yield for investors in the combined 41.05% federal and California income tax bracket (see the yields table at top right), up 74 basis points (0.74%) from six months ago. ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE The six-month reporting period featured moderate U.S. economic growth, mild "core" consumer price inflation reports (based on CPI without food and energy prices), rising short-term interest rates, and escalating oil prices. Economic growth (measured by real annualized growth in gross domestic product, GDP) was 4.0% and 3.8% in the third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively, and first-quarter 2005 GDP was projected to be around 4.5%. Despite a 23% increase in the price of crude oil (to over $50 a barrel) during the six months, core CPI reports released during the period (measuring 12-month percentage changes) remained relatively tame, between 1.7% and 2.3%. To slow the economy and keep inflation in check, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised its overnight interest rate target by a full percentage point during the period, hiking the rate in four quarter-point increments from 1.5% to 2.5%. The bond market's faith in the Fed, combined with investors' attempts to "reach for yield," helped longer-maturity bonds outperform their shorter-maturity counterparts for the reporting period.

Actual tax-equivalent yields may be lower, if alternative minimum tax is applicable. (continued) ------ 10 California Limited-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary Unlike shorter-maturity notes that suffered price declines as their yields rose with the Fed's rate hikes, longer-maturity bond prices enjoyed price gains as bond yields fell. Credit quality also affected performance--as investors reached for yield, lower-quality, higher-yielding bonds tended to outperform investment-grade debt. That yearning for yield also helped California municipal portfolios generally outperform their national counterparts--investors were drawn by the yield premium that still lingered from the state's earlier financial crisis. PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGY With preservation of shareholders' capital in mind, we conservatively reduced Cal Limited-Term's duration--a widely used measure of interest rate sensitivity--from 2.9 years to 2.7 years by the end of February. We chose that strategy based on expectations for interest rates and bond yields to trend higher in light of the previously described economic and market backdrop. Overall, those events played out mostly as we anticipated. But Cal Limited-Term's conservative positioning tempered its returns during unexpected bond rallies, such as the ones during September and January. Those two months alone accounted for a significant portion of the fund's peer-compared underperformance. Lastly, we increased Cal Limited-Term's yield--and, correspondingly, shareholders' income--by adding bonds rated triple-B. Although still investment grade, triple-B bonds traditionally offer higher yields than their triple-A, double-A, and single-A counterparts. And a higher yield can potentially help to cushion the impact of rising interest rates on a portfolio's performance while concurrently offering investors a chance at larger dividends. OUR COMMITMENT We remain committed to seeking safety of principal and high current income by investing at least 80% of the fund's assets in debt securities with interest payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. While doing so, we'll attempt to keep the fund's weighted average maturity between one and five years PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION BY CREDIT RATING -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- % OF FUND % OF FUND INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS AS OF AS OF 2/28/05 8/31/04 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AAA 66% 62% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AA 3% 6% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A 15% 24% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BBB 14% 8% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not Rated 2% -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratings provided by independent research companies.

By comparison, the 44 funds in Cal Intermediate-Term's Lipper category averaged a total return of 1.06%. The fund also performed well from a longer-term perspective: Cal Intermediate-Term's one-, five-, and 10-year returns ranked the fund among the top 40% of its Lipper group. (See pages 17 and 18 for more performance information.) We discuss the fund's recent-period results and the strategies employed to produce them in the Portfolio Positioning & Strategy section on page 20. YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE Cal Intermediate-Term's 30-day SEC yield rose from 2.64% to 2.82% by the end of February, reflecting the rising-rate backdrop as well as our efforts to boost the portfolio's yield. That increase translated into higher tax-equivalent yields, too. For example, Cal Intermediate-Term's 30-day SEC yield as of February 28, 2005, equated to a 4.78% taxable yield for investors in the combined 41.05% federal and California income tax bracket (see the yields table above), up 30 basis points (0.30%) from six months ago. ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE The six-month reporting period featured moderate U.S. economic growth, mild "core" consumer price inflation reports (based on CPI without food and energy prices), rising short-term interest rates, and escalating oil prices. Economic growth (measured by real annualized growth in gross domestic product, GDP) was 4.0% and 3.8% in the third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively, and first-quarter 2005 GDP was projected to be around 4.5%. Despite a 23% increase in the price of crude oil (to over $50 a barrel) during the six months, core CPI reports released during the period (measuring 12-month percentage changes) remained relatively tame, between 1.7% and 2.3%. To slow the economy and keep inflation in check, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised its overnight interest rate target by a full percentage point during the period, hiking the rate in four quarter-point increments from 1.5% to 2.5%.

(continued) ------ 19 California Intermediate-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary The bond market's faith in the Fed, combined with investors' attempts to "reach for yield," helped longer-maturity bonds outperform their shorter-maturity counterparts for the reporting period. Unlike shorter-maturity notes that suffered price declines as their yields rose with the Fed's rate hikes, longer-maturity bond prices enjoyed price gains as bond yields fell. Credit quality also affected performance--as investors reached for yield, lower-quality, higher-yielding bonds tended to outperform investment-grade debt. That yearning for yield also helped California municipal portfolios generally outperform their national counterparts--investors were drawn by the yield premium that still lingered from the state's earlier financial crisis. PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGY On the portfolio front, we increased Cal Intermediate-Term's yield--and, correspondingly, shareholders' income-- by adding bonds rated triple-B. Although still investment grade, triple-B bonds traditionally offer higher yields than their triple-A, double-A, and single-A counterparts. And a higher yield can potentially help to cushion the impact of rising interest rates on a portfolio's performance while concurrently offering investors a chance at larger dividends. While making that adjustment, we conservatively reduced Cal Intermediate-Term's duration--a widely used measure of interest rate sensitivity--from 4.6 years at the start of the six months, to 4.5 years by the end of February. We chose that strategy based on expectations for interest rates and bond yields to trend higher in light of the previously described economic and market backdrop. OUR COMMITMENT We remain committed to seeking safety of principal and high current income by investing at least 80% of the fund's assets in debt securities with interest payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. While doing so, we'll attempt to keep the fund's weighted average maturity between five and 10 years.

The fund, its benchmark, and its Lipper group posted positive returns as longer-maturity municipal bonds rallied--the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Municipal Bond Index returned 5.35% and the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds average return was 2.76%. Municipal investments with longer maturities and durations generally outperformed those with shorter, which helps explain why the fund trailed its longer-duration Lehman benchmark. Though the fund outperformed the average return of its Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds peer group for the five- and ten-year periods ended February 28, 2005, it trailed for the six-month period. This was due to the portfolio's shorter duration (we reduced it in anticipation of higher interest rates) and its higher credit quality (the Lipper peer group includes lower-quality portfolios)--shorter-duration, higher-quality municipal investments generally underperformed during the six-month period. ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE The six-month reporting period featured moderate U.S. economic growth, mild "core" consumer price inflation reports (based on CPI without food and energy prices), rising short-term interest rates, and escalating oil prices. Economic growth (measured by real annualized growth in gross domestic product, GDP) was 4.0% and 3.8% in the third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively, and first-quarter 2005 GDP was projected to be around 4.5%. Despite a 23% increase in the price of crude oil (to over $50 a barrel) during the six months, core CPI reports released during the period (measuring 12-month percentage changes) remained relatively tame, between 1.7% and 2.3%. To slow the economy and keep inflation in check, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised its overnight interest rate target by a full percentage point during the period, hiking the rate in four quarter-point increments from 1.5% to 2.5%. The bond market's faith in the Fed, combined with investors' attempts to "reach for yield," helped longer-maturity bonds outperform their shorter-maturity counterparts for the reporting period.

Actual tax-equivalent yields may be lower, if alternative minimum tax is applicable. (continued) ------ 29 California Long-Term Tax-Free - Portfolio Commentary Unlike shorter-maturity notes that suffered price declines as their yields rose with the Fed's rate hikes, longer-maturity bond prices enjoyed price gains as bond yields fell. Credit quality also affected performance--as investors reached for yield, lower-quality, higher-yielding bonds tended to outperform investment-grade debt. That yearning for yield also helped California municipal portfolios generally outperform their national counterparts--investors were drawn by the yield premium that still lingered from the state's earlier financial crisis. YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE Our investment objectives are to seek safety of principal and high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes. As of February 28, 2005, we'd invested approximately 70% of the portfolio in debt securities with maturities of 10 years or longer, which offer higher yields as compensation for increased exposure to inflation risk. The fund's 30-day SEC yield declined from 3.38% on August 31, 2004 to 3.31% on February 28, 2005, as long-term municipal bonds rallied. That still translated to attractive tax-equivalent yields for California investors (see the yields table on page 29). PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGY We try to reduce credit risk (the possibility that a bond won't be paid) by buying bonds either rated independently to be in the top four credit quality categories, or determined by us to be of comparable quality. As of February 28, 2005, the portfolio's weighted average credit quality was AA+ with primarily AAA holdings (see the table below). However, that high credit quality was a disadvantage this time, when lower-quality bonds outperformed. The portfolio's shortened duration also led to underperformance as longer-duration portfolios enjoyed more bond price appreciation. But we were willing to sacrifice some bond rally gains to be in a position to reduce losses if interest rates rose sharply. OUR COMMITMENT We remain committed to seeking safety of principal and high current income by investing at least 80% of the fund's assets in debt securities with interest payments exempt from federal and California income taxes. We attempt to keep the fund's weighted average maturity at 10 years or longer.

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 September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005. 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 your 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) ------ 36 Shareholder Fee Examples (Unaudited) 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 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING

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 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 funds determine that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security's fair value, such security is valued at its fair value as determined by, or in accordance with procedures adopted by, the Board of Trustees or its designee if such fair value determination would materially impact a fund's net asset value. Circumstances that may cause the funds to fair value a security include: 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; or trading in a security has been halted during the trading day. 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 the funds' 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. 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) ------ 42 Notes to Financial Statements FEBRUARY 28, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES MANAGEMENT FEES -- The trust has entered into a Management Agreement with American Century Investment Management Inc. (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 advisor that are in the same broad investment category as each fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century family of funds. 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 six months ended February 28, 2005, the effective annual management fee was 0.49% for each of the funds. MONEY MARKET INSURANCE -- Effective February 1, 2005, Tax-Free Money Market, along with other money market funds managed by ACIM, has entered into an insurance agreement with Ambac Assurance Corporation (Ambac). Ambac 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 to Ambac, which are amortized daily over one year. Through January 31, 2005, Tax-Free Money Market, along with other money market funds managed by ACIM, had entered into an insurance agreement with MBIA Insurance Corporation. For the six months ended February 28, 2005, the annualized ratio of money market insurance expense to average net assets was 0.02%. 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 advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the trust, American Century Investment Services, Inc., and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC (formerly 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 custodian of the funds and 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 six months ended February 28, 2005, were as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERMEDIATE- LIMITED-TERM TERM LONG-TERM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Purchases $75,505,694 $80,892,180 $94,520,241 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proceeds from sales $78,866,429 $64,410,906 $92,906,752 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All investment transactions for Tax-Free Money Market were considered short-term during the six months ended February 28, 2005. 4. BANK LINE OF CREDIT Limited-Term, Intermediate-Term, and Long-Term, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM, have a $575,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB, which was renewed from $650,000,000 effective December 15, 2004. The funds 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 funds did not borrow from the line during the six months ended February 28, 2005. (continued) ------ 43 Notes to Financial Statements FEBRUARY 28, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 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 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. As of February 28, 2005, the components of investments for federal tax purposes were as follows: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TAX-FREE INTERMEDIATE- MONEY MARKET LIMITED-TERM TERM LONG-TERM -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Federal tax cost of investments $584,385,255 $207,068,965 $400,796,790 $435,317,990 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments -- $4,356,123 $22,355,409 $35,738,236 ----------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments -- (465,456) (250,482) (103,301) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation of investments -- $3,890,667 $22,104,927 $35,634,935 ================================================================================ The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes.

The fund, its benchmark, and its Lipper group posted positive returns as longer-maturity municipal bonds rallied--the Lehman Brothers Long-Term Municipal Bond Index returned 5.35% and the Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds average return was 2.76%. Municipal investments with longer maturities and durations generally outperformed those with shorter (discussed below). That helps explain why the fund trailed its longer-duration Lehman benchmark. Meanwhile, high-yield municipal investments generally outperformed their investment-grade municipal counterparts, which helped the fund outpace its largely investment-grade Lipper peer group. ECONOMIC & MARKET PERSPECTIVE The six-month reporting period featured moderate U.S. economic growth, mild "core" consumer price inflation reports (based on CPI without food and energy prices), rising short-term interest rates, and escalating oil prices. Economic growth (measured by real annualized growth in gross domestic product, GDP) was 4.0% and 3.8% in the third and fourth quarters of 2004, respectively, and first-quarter 2005 GDP was projected to be around 4.5%. Despite a 23% increase in the price of crude oil (to over $50 a barrel) during the six months, core CPI reports released during the period (measuring 12-month percentage changes) remained relatively tame, between 1.7% and 2.3%. To slow the economy and keep inflation in check, the Federal Reserve (the Fed) raised its overnight interest rate target by a full percentage point during the period, hiking the rate in four quarter-point increments from 1.5% to 2.5%. The bond market's faith in the Fed, combined with investors' attempts to "reach for yield," helped longer-maturity bonds outperform their shorter-maturity counterparts for the reporting period. Unlike shorter-maturity notes that suffered price declines as their yields rose with the Fed's rate hikes, longer-maturity bond prices enjoyed price gains as bond yields fell. Credit quality also affected performance--as investors reached for yield, PORTFOLIO AT A GLANCE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- AS OF AS OF 2/28/05 8/31/04 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted Average Maturity 21.4 yrs 20.9 yrs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average Duration (Modified) 6.5 yrs 6.3 yrs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- YIELDS AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2005 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30-DAY SEC YIELD -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class 4.24% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Class 3.82% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B Class 3.23% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class 3.25% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR CLASS 30-DAY TAX-EQUIVALENT YIELDS(1) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 31.98% Tax Bracket 6.23% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 34.70% Tax Bracket 6.49% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 39.23% Tax Bracket 6.98% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 41.05% Tax Bracket 7.19% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) The tax brackets indicated are for combined state and federal income tax. Actual tax-equivalent yields may be lower, if alternative minimum tax is applicable. *All fund returns and yields referenced in this commentary are for Investor Class shares. (continued) ------ 4 California High-Yield Municipal - Portfolio Commentary lower-quality, higher-yielding bonds tended to outperform investment-grade debt. That yearning for yield also helped California municipal portfolios generally outperform their national counterparts--investors were drawn by the yield premium that still lingered from the state's earlier financial crisis. YIELD SUMMARY & PERSPECTIVE Our investment objective is to seek high current income that is exempt from federal and California income taxes. As of February 28, 2005, we'd invested 54% 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 keep the portfolio's price sensitivity to interest rate changes relatively low. The fund's 30-day SEC yield declined from 4.58% on August 31, 2004 to 4.24% on February 28, 2005 as high-yield municipal bonds rallied. That still translated to attractive tax-equivalent yields for investors (see the yields table on page 4). PORTFOLIO POSITIONING & STRATEGY We continued to focus on our approach to portfolio investing and management, the foundations of which are 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. Our investment approach incorporates techniques designed to realize capital appreciation as well as high income. That includes investments in land-secured bonds, which represented the portfolio's largest sector position at the beginning and end (see the table above) of the reporting period. Land-secured bonds have potential for price appreciation as economic conditions improve and/or the projects are developed and their finances solidify. OUR COMMITMENT We remain committed to seeking high levels of federal and California tax-exempt current income, as well as capital appreciation, by investing at least 80% of the fund's assets in municipal securities, including securities rated below investment-grade or that are unrated.

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 September 1, 2004 to February 28, 2005. 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 your 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) ------ 6 Shareholder Fee Example (Unaudited) 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 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- EXPENSES PAID BEGINNING ENDING DURING PERIOD* ANNUALIZED ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE 9/1/04 - EXPENSE 9/1/04 2/28/05 2/28/05 RATIO* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALIFORNIA HIGH-YIELD MUNICIPAL SHAREHOLDER FEE EXAMPLE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,039.90 $2.68 0.53% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Class $1,000 $1,038.60 $3.94 0.78% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B Class $1,000 $1,034.80 $7.72 1.53% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class $1,000 $1,034.80 $7.72 1.53% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HYPOTHETICAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Investor Class $1,000 $1,022.17 $2.66 0.53% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A Class $1,000 $1,020.93 $3.91 0.78% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B Class $1,000 $1,017.21 $7.65 1.53% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C Class $1,000 $1,017.21 $7.65 1.53% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Expenses are equal to the class's annualized expense ratio listed in the table above, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181, the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year, divided by 365, to reflect the one-half year period. ------ 7 California High-Yield Municipal - Schedule of Investments FEBRUARY 28, 2005 (UNAUDITED) Principal Amount Value -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUNICIPAL SECURITIES -- 97.8% CALIFORNIA -- 97.8% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $ 1,000,000 ABC Unified School District GO, Series 2000 B, 6.14%, 8/1/21 (FGIC)(1) $ 456,990 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2,000,000 Alameda Public Financing Auth.

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 fund determines that the market price of a portfolio security is not readily available, or that the valuation methods mentioned above do not reflect the security's fair value, such security is valued at its fair value as determined by, or in accordance with procedures adopted by, the Board of Trustees or its designee if such fair value determination would materially impact a fund's net asset value. Circumstances that may cause the fund to fair value a security include: 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; or trading in a security has been halted during the trading day. 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) ------ 16 Notes to Financial Statements FEBRUARY 28, 2005 (UNAUDITED) 2. FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES MANAGEMENT FEES -- The trust has entered into a Management Agreement with American Century Investment Management, Inc. (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 each specific class of shares 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 advisor that are in the same broad investment category as the fund and (2) a Complex Fee based on the assets of all the funds in the American Century family of funds. 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 six months ended February 28, 2005, the effective annual management fee for the Investor, A, B and C Classes was 0.52%. 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% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service Fee 0.25% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 based on each class's daily net assets and paid monthly in arrears. 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 six months ended February 28, 2005, 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 advisor, ACIM, the distributor of the trust, ACIS, and the trust's transfer agent, American Century Services, LLC (formerly American Century Services Corporation). The fund has a bank line of credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank (JPMCB). JPMCB is a custodian of the fund and a wholly owned subsidiary of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. (JPM). JPM is an equity investor in ACC. 3.

BANK LINE OF CREDIT The fund, along with certain other funds managed by ACIM, has a $575,000,000 unsecured bank line of credit agreement with JPMCB, which was renewed from $650,000,000 effective December 15, 2004. 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 six months ended February 28, 2005. 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 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. As of February 28, 2005, the components of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows: Federal tax cost of investments $349,801,773 ================================================================================ Gross tax appreciation of investments $24,355,456 -------------------------------------------- Gross tax depreciation of investments (46,578) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net tax appreciation of investments $24,308,878 ================================================================================ The cost of investments for federal income tax purposes was the same as the cost for financial reporting purposes. At August 31, 2004, the fund had accumulated capital losses of $727,045 and $2,950,561 expiring in 2008 and 2009, respectively, which represent net capital loss carryovers that may be used to offset future realized capital gains for federal income tax purposes. ------ 19 California High-Yield Municipal - Financial Highlights FOR A SHARE OUTSTANDING THROUGHOUT THE YEARS ENDED AUGUST 31 (EXCEPT AS NOTED) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INVESTOR CLASS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005(1) 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PER-SHARE DATA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, Beginning of Period $9.93 $9.65 $9.84 $9.79 $9.44 $9.36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income From Investment Operations ------------------------- Net Investment Income 0.25 0.52 0.52 0.52 0.52 0.52 ------------------------- Net Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss) 0.14 0.28 (0.19) 0.05 0.35 0.08 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total From Investment Operations 0.39 0.80 0.33 0.57 0.87 0.60 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions ------------------------- From Net Investment Income (0.25) (0.52) (0.52) (0.52) (0.52) (0.52) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net Asset Value, End of Period $10.07 $9.93 $9.65 $9.84 $9.79 $9.44 ============================================================================================ TOTAL RETURN(2) 3.99% 8.48% 3.35% 6.07% 9.50% 6.70% RATIOS/SUPPLEMENTAL DATA -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ratio of Operating Expenses to Average Net Assets 0.53%(3) 0.53% 0.54% 0.54% 0.54% 0.54% ------------------------- Ratio of Net Investment Income to Average Net Assets 5.07%(3) 5.30% 5.24% 5.37% 5.45% 5.64% ------------------------- Portfolio Turnover Rate 7% 19% 30% 32% 47% 52% ------------------------- Net Assets, End of Period (in thousands) $345,554 $332,434 $334,032 $373,061 $336,400 $318,197 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1) Six months ended February 28, 2005 (unaudited).
