Fund Summary

Investment Summary

Investment Objective

California Municipal Money Market Fund seeks as high a level of current income, exempt from federal and California state personal income tax, as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

Principal Investment Strategies

Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR)'s principal investment strategies include:

  • Normally investing in municipal money market securities.
  • Normally investing at least 80% of assets in municipal securities whose interest is exempt from federal and California personal income taxes.
  • Potentially investing more than 25% of total assets in municipal securities that finance similar types of projects.
  • Investing in compliance with industry-standard requirements for money market funds for the quality, maturity, and diversification of investments.

Principal Investment Risks

The fund is subject to the following principal investment risks:

  • Municipal Market Volatility. The municipal market is volatile and can be significantly affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes and the financial condition of the issuers of municipal securities.
  • Interest Rate Changes. Interest rate increases can cause the price of a money market security to decrease.
  • Foreign Exposure. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure that are located in foreign countries can be affected by adverse political, regulatory, market, or economic developments in those countries.
  • Geographic Concentration. Unfavorable political or economic conditions within California can affect the credit quality of issuers located in that state.
  • Issuer-Specific Changes. A decline in the credit quality of an issuer or the provider of credit support or a maturity-shortening structure for a security can cause the price of a money market security to decrease.

An investment in the fund is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

In buying and selling securities for the fund, FMR complies with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of the fund's investments. FMR may invest the fund's assets in municipal money market securities by investing in other funds. FMR stresses maintaining a stable $1.00 share price, liquidity, and income.

Description of Principal Security Types

Money market securities are high-quality, short-term securities that pay a fixed, variable, or floating interest rate. Securities are often specifically structured so that they are eligible investments for a money market fund. For example, in order to satisfy the maturity restrictions for a money market fund, some money market securities have demand or put features, which have the effect of shortening the security's maturity. Municipal money market securities include variable rate demand notes, commercial pape<R>r, </R>and municipal notes.

Municipal securities are issued to raise money for a variety of public and private purposes, including general financing for state and local governments, or financing for a specific project or public facility. Municipal securities may be fully or partially backed by the local government, by the credit of a private issuer, by the current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets, or by domestic or foreign entities providing credit support such as letters of credit, guarantees, or insurance.

Principal Investment Risks

Many factors affect each fund's performance. Because FMR concentrates each fund's investments in California, the fund's performance is expected to be closely tied to economic and political conditions within that state and to be more volatile than the performance of a more geographically diversified fund.

The funds' yields will change daily based on changes in interest rates and other market conditions. Although each fund is managed to maintain a stable $1.00 share price, there is no guarantee that the fund will be able to do so. For example, a major increase in interest rates or a decrease in the credit quality of the issuer of one of a fund's investments could cause the fund's share price to decrease.

The following factors can significantly affect a fund's performance:

Municipal Market Volatility. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to taxation, legislative changes, or the rights of municipal security holders. Because many municipal securities are issued to finance similar projects, especially those relating to education, health care, transportation, and utilities, conditions in those sectors can affect the overall municipal market. In addition, changes in the financial condition of an individual municipal insurer can affect the overall municipal market.

Interest Rate Changes. Money market securities have varying levels of sensitivity to changes in interest rates. In general, the price of a money market security can fall when interest rates rise and can rise when interest rates fall. Securities with longer maturities can be more sensitive to interest rate changes. Short-term securities tend to react to changes in short-term interest rates.

Prospectus

Foreign Exposure. Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure that are located in foreign countries can involve increased risks. Extensive public information about the provider may not be available and unfavorable political, economic, or governmental developments could affect the value of the security.

<R>Geographic Concentration. Investors will be exposed to risks associated with the unique aspects of California's economy, political system and government financing structures. As of early 2004, the State's economy was beginning to recover from a recession, with moderate growth predicted in 2004 and 2005, expected to mirror the national economy. After sharp revenue drops in the early 2000's due to the recession and the weak stock market created State gaps as high as $38 billion and accumulated a large budget deficit, part of which is expected to be funded with the issuance of $15 billion of sales-tax backed general obligation bonds approved by the voters in March 2004, the State still faces a multi-billion dollar structural budget gap which must be addressed for the upcoming 2004-05 fiscal year and future years.</R>

Issuer-Specific Changes. Changes in the financial condition of an issuer or <R>counterparty,</R> changes in specific economic or political conditions that affect a particular type of issuer, and changes in general economic or political conditions can affect a <R>security's or instrument's credit quality or value. </R>Entities providing credit support or a maturity-shortening structure also can be affected by these types of changes. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the taxation supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues for the project or from the assets. If the Internal Revenue Service determines an issuer of a municipal security has not complied with applicable tax requirements, interest from the security could become taxable and the security could decline significantly in value. In addition, if the structure of a security fails to function as intended, interest from the security could become taxable or the security could decline in value.

In response to market, economic, political, or other conditions, FMR may temporarily use a different investment strategy for defensive purposes. If FMR does so, different factors could affect a fund's performance, and a fund could distribute income subject to federal or Califor<R>nia pers</R>onal income tax.

Valuing Shares

Each fund is open for business each day the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open.

Each fund's net asset value per share (NAV) is the value of a single share. Fidelity normally calculates each fund's NAV as of the close of business of the NYSE, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. However, NAV may be calculated earlier if trading on the NYSE is restricted or as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Each fund's assets are valued as of this time for the purpose of computing the fund's NAV.

To the extent that each fund's assets are traded in other markets on days when the fund is not open for business, the value of the fund's assets may be affected on those days. In addition, trading in some of a fund's assets may not occur on days when the fund is open for business.

Each fund's assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost.

General Information

Fidelity Investments was established in 1946 to manage one of America's first mutual funds. Today, Fidelity is the largest mutual fund company in the country, and is known as an innovative provider of high-quality financial services to individuals and institutions.

In addition to its mutual fund business, the company operates one of America's leading brokerage firms, Fidelity Brokerage Services LLC. Fidelity is also a leader in providing tax-advantaged retirement plans for individuals investing on their own or through their employer.

You may buy or sell shares of a fund through a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account. If you buy or sell shares of a fund (other than by exchange) through a Fidelity brokerage account, your transactions generally involve your Fidelity brokerage core (a settlement vehicle included as part of your Fidelity brokerage account).

If you do not currently have a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account and would like to invest in a fund, you may need to complete an application. For more information about a Fidelity brokerage account or a Fidelity mutual fund account, please visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com, call 1-800-FIDELITY, or visit a Fidelity Investor Center (call 1-800-544-9797 for the center nearest you).

You may also buy or sell shares of the funds through an investment professional. If you buy or sell shares of a fund through an investment professional, the procedures for buying, selling, and exchanging shares of the fund and the account features and policies may differ from those discussed in this prospectus. Fees in addition to those discussed in this prospectus may also apply. For example, you may be charged a transaction fee if you buy or sell shares of a fund through a non-Fidelity broker or other investment professional.

There is no minimum balance or initial or subsequent purchase minimum for investments through Portfolio Advisory ServicesSM  or a mutual fund or a qualified tuition program for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment manager. In addition, each fund may waive or lower purchase minimums in other circumstances.

Buying Shares

The price to buy one share of each fund is the fund's NAV. Each fund's shares are sold without a sales charge.

Your shares will be bought at the next NAV calculated after your investment is received in proper form.

A fund may reject or cancel any purchase orders, including exchanges, for any reason.

For example, the funds do not permit market timing because short-term or other excessive trading into and out of a fund may harm performance by disrupting portfolio management strategies and by increasing expenses. Accordingly, a fund may reject any purchase orders, including exchanges, from market timers or investors that, in FMR's opinion, may be disruptive to that fund. For these purposes, FMR may consider an investor's trading history in that fund or other Fidelity funds, and accounts under common ownership or control.

Each fund may stop offering shares completely or may offer shares only on a limited basis, for a period of time or permanently.

If you place an order to buy shares and your payment is not received and collected, your purchase may be canceled and you could be liable for any losses or fees a fund or Fidelity has incurred.

<R>Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, purchase orders may be suspended, restricted, or canceled and the monies may be withheld.</R>

Selling Shares

The price to sell one share of each fund is the fund's NAV.

<R>Your shares will be sold at the next NAV calculated after your order is received in proper form. Normally, redemptions will be processed by the next business day, but it may take up to seven days to pay the redemption proceeds if making immediate payment would adversely affect a fund.</R>

Certain requests must include a signature guarantee. It is designed to protect you and Fidelity from fraud. Your request must be made in writing and include a signature guarantee if any of the following situations apply:

Prospectus

  • You wish to sell more than $100,000 worth of shares;
  • The address on your account (record address) has changed within the last 15 or 30 days, depending on your account, and you wish to sell $10,000 or more of shares;
  • You are requesting that a check be mailed to a different address than the record address;
  • You are requesting that redemption proceeds be paid to someone other than the account owner; or
  • The redemption proceeds are being transferred to a Fidelity account with a different registration.

You should be able to obtain a signature guarantee from a bank, broker (including Fidelity Investor Centers), dealer, credit union (if authorized under state law), securities exchange or association, clearing agency, or savings association. A notary public cannot provide a signature guarantee.

When you place an order to sell shares, note the following:

  • If you are selling some but not all of your California Municipal Money Market shares, keep your fund balance above $2,000 to keep your fund position open, except fund positions not subject to balance minimums. If you are selling some but not all of your Spartan California Municipal Money Market shares, keep your fund balance above $50,000 to keep your fund position open, ($10,000 for existing investors who owned shares since October 30, 2001), except fund positions not subject to balance minimums.
  • Redemption proceeds (other than exchanges) may be delayed until money from prior purchases sufficient to cover your redemption has been received and collected. This can take up to seven business days after a purchase.
  • Redemptions may be suspended or payment dates postponed when the NYSE is closed (other than weekends or holidays), when trading on the NYSE is restricted, or as permitted by the SEC.
  • Redemption proceeds may be paid in securities or other property rather than in cash if FMR determines it is in the best interests of a fund.
  • If you hold your shares in a Fidelity mutual fund account and you sell shares by writing a check and the amount of the check is greater than the value of your fund position, your check will be returned to you and you may be subject to additional charges.
  • You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed redemption checks.
  • <R>Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, redemption requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.</R>

To sell shares issued with certificates, call Fidelity for instructions. Each fund no longer issues share certificates.

Exchanging Shares

An exchange involves the redemption of all or a portion of the shares of one fund and the purchase of shares of another fund.

As a shareholder, you have the privilege of exchanging shares of a fund for shares of other Fidelity funds.

However, you should note the following policies and restrictions governing exchanges:

  • Each fund may temporarily or permanently terminate the exchange privilege of any investor who makes more than four exchanges out of the fund per calendar year. Accounts under common ownership or control will be counted together for purposes of the four exchange limit.
  • Each fund may refuse any exchange purchase for any reason. For example, each fund may refuse exchange purchases by any person or group if, in FMR's judgment, the fund would be unable to invest the money effectively in accordance with its investment objective and policies, or would otherwise potentially be adversely affected.
  • Before exchanging into a fund, read its prospectus.
  • The fund you are exchanging into must be available for sale in your state.
  • Exchanges may have tax consequences for you.
  • Currently, there is no limit on the number of exchanges out of California Municipal Money Market.
  • If you are exchanging between accounts that are not registered in the same name, address, and taxpayer identification number<R> (TIN)</R>, there may be additional requirements.
  • <R>Under applicable anti-money laundering regulations and other federal regulations, exchange requests may be suspended, restricted, canceled, or processed and the proceeds may be withheld.</R>

The funds may terminate or modify the exchange privileges in the future.

Other funds may have different exchange restrictions, and may impose trading fees of up to 2.00% of the amount exchanged. Check each fund's prospectus for details.

Shareholder Information - continued

Electronic copies of most financial reports and prospectuses are available at Fidelity's web site. To participate in Fidelity's electronic delivery program, call Fidelity or visit Fidelity's web site for more information.

You may initiate many transactions by telephone or electronically. Fidelity will not be responsible for any loss, cost, expense, or other liability resulting from unauthorized transactions if it follows reasonable security procedures designed to verify the identity of the investor. Fidelity will request personalized security codes or other information, and may also record calls. For transactions conducted through the Internet, Fidelity recommends the use of an Internet browser with 128-bit encryption. You should verify the accuracy of your confirmation statements upon receipt and notify Fidelity immediately of any discrepancies in your account activity. If you do not want the ability to sell and exchange by telephone, call Fidelity for instructions.

<R>You may be asked to provide additional information in order for Fidelity to verify your identity in accordance with requirements under anti-money laundering regulations. Accounts may be restricted and/or closed, and the monies withheld, pending verification of this information or as otherwise required under these and other federal regulations.</R>

Fidelity may deduct a small balance maintenance fee of $12.00 from a fund balance with a value of less than $2,000. It is expected that fund balances will be valued on the second Friday in November of each calendar year. Fund positions opened after September 30 will not be subject to the fee for that calendar year. The fee, which is payable to Fidelity, is designed to offset in part the relatively higher costs of servicing smaller fund positions. This fee will not be deducted from fund positions opened after January 1 of that calendar year if those positions use regular investment plans.

You will be given 30 days' notice to reestablish the minimum balance if your fund balance falls below $2,000 for California Municipal Money Market or $50,000 ($10,000 for existing investors who owned shares since October 30, 2001) for Spartan California Municipal Money Market, for any reason, including solely due to declines in NAV. If you do not increase your balance, Fidelity may sell all of your shares and send the proceeds to you. Your shares will be sold at the NAV on the day Fidelity closes your fund position. Certain fund positions are not subject to these balance requirements and will not be closed for failure to maintain a minimum balance.

Fidelity may charge a fee for certain services, such as providing historical account documents.

Dividends and Capital Gain Distributions

Each fund earns interest, dividends, and other income from its investments, and distributes this income (less expenses) to shareholders as dividends. Each fund may also realize capital gains from its investments, and distributes these gains (less losses), if any, to shareholders as capital gain distributions.

Prospectus

Distributions you receive from each fund consist primarily of dividends. Each fund normally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly.

Earning Dividends

Shares begin to earn dividends on the first business day following the day of purchase.

Shares earn dividends until, but not including, the next business day following the day of redemption.

Distribution Options

When you open an account, specify on your application how you want to receive your distributions. The following distribution options are available for each fund:

1. Reinvestment Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund. If you do not indicate a choice on your application, you will be assigned this option.

2. Cash Option. Your dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, will be paid in cash.

3. Directed Dividends® Option. Your dividends will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund. Your capital gain distributions, if any, will be automatically invested in shares of another identically registered Fidelity fund, automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund, or paid in cash.

If the distribution option you prefer is not listed on your account application, or if you want to change your current distribution option, visit Fidelity's web site at www.fidelity.com or call 1-800-544-6666 for more information.

If you elect to receive distributions paid in cash by check and the U.S. Postal Service does not deliver your checks, your distribution option may be converted to the Reinvestment Option. You will not receive interest on amounts represented by uncashed distribution checks.

Tax Consequences

As with any investment, your investment in a fund could have tax consequences for you.

Each fund seeks to earn income and pay dividends exempt from federal income tax and California personal income tax.

A portion of the dividends you receive may be subject to federal, state, or local income tax or may be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax. You may also receive taxable distributions attributable to a fund's sale of municipal bonds.

For federal tax purposes, certain of each fund's distributions, including distributions of short-term capital gains and gains on the sale of bonds characterized as market discount, are taxable to you as ordinary income, while each fund's distributions of long-term capital gains, if any, are taxable to you generally as capital gains.

For California personal income tax purposes, distributions derived from interest on municipal securities of California issuers and from interest on qualifying securities issued by U.S. territories and possessions are generally exempt from

Prospectus

Shareholder Information - continued

tax. Distributions that are federally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains are generally subject to California personal income tax.

Any taxable distributions you receive from a fund will normally be taxable to you when you receive them, regardless of your distribution option. If you elect to receive distributions in cash or to invest distributions automatically in shares of another Fidelity fund, you will receive certain December distributions in January, but those distributions will be taxable as if you received them on December 31.

Fund Services

Fund Management

Each fund is a mutual fund, an investment that pools shareholders' money and invests it toward a specified goal.

FMR is each fund's manager. The address of FMR and its affiliates, unless otherwise indicated below, is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.

As of March 3<R>0, 2004</R>, FMR had approximately $<R>8.8</R> billion in discretionary assets under management.

As the manager, FMR has overall responsibility for directing each fund's investments and handling its business affairs.

<R>Affiliates assist FMR with foreign investments: </R>

  • <R>Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA), at Pembroke Hall, 42 Crow Lane, Pembroke HM19, Bermuda, serves as a sub-adviser for each fund. As of September 26, 2003, FIIA had approximately $8.9 billion in discretionary assets under management. For each fund, FIIA may provide investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United States, and in particular, will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities.</R>
  • <R>Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L), at 25 Cannon Street, London, EC4M 5TA, England, serves as a sub-adviser for each fund. As of September 26, 2003, FIIA(U.K.)L had approximately $5.6 billion in discretionary assets under management. For each fund, FIIA(U.K.)L may provide investment research and advice on issuers based outside the United States, and in particular, will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities.</R>

Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), at One Spartan Way, Merrimack, New Hampshire 03054, serves as a sub-adviser for each fund. FIMM has day-to-day responsibility for choosing investments for each fund.

FIMM is an affiliate of FMR. As of March 3<R>0, 2004</R>, FIMM had approximately $<R>268.3</R> billion in discretionary assets under management.

From time to time a manager, analyst, or other Fidelity employee may express views regarding a particular company, security, industry, or market sector. The views expressed by any such person are the views of only that individual as of the time expressed and do not necessarily represent the views of Fidelity or any other person in the Fidelity organization. Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied on as investment advice and, because investment decisions for a Fidelity fund are based on numerous factors, may not be relied on as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Fidelity fund.

Each fund pays a management fee to FMR. The management fee is calculated and paid to FMR every month. FMR pays all of the other expenses of Spartan California Municipal Money Market with limited exceptions.

Prospectus

Fund Services - continued

Spartan California Municipal Money Market's annual management fee rate is <R>0.43</R>% of its average net assets.

For the fiscal year ended February <R>29</R>, <R>2004, </R>Spartan California Municipal Money Market paid a management fee of <R>0.35</R>% of the fund's average net assets, after reimbursement.

For California Municipal Money Market, the fee is calculated by adding a group fee rate to an individual fund fee rate, dividing by twelve, and multiplying the result by the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The group fee rate is based on the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. This rate cannot rise above 0.37%, and it drops as total assets under management increase.

For February<R> 2004</R>, the group fee rate was <R>0.13</R>% for California Municipal Money Market. The individual fund fee rate is 0.25% for California Municipal Money Market.

The total management fee for the fiscal year ended <R>February 29, 2004</R>, was <R>0.38</R>% of the fund's average net assets for California Municipal Money Market.

<R>FMR pays FIMM for providing sub-advisory services. FIMM pays FIIA for providing sub-advisory services, and FIIA in turn pays FIIA(U.K.)L.</R>

FMR may, from time to time, agree to reimburse the funds for management fees and other expenses above a specified limit. FMR retains the ability to be repaid by a fund if expenses fall below the specified limit prior to the end of the fiscal year. Reimbursement arrangements, which may be discontinued by FMR at any time, can decrease a fund's expenses and boost its performance.

Fund Distribution

FDC distributes each fund's shares.

Each fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenues, as well as its past profits or its resources from any other source, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees of each fund has authorized such payments.

If payments made by FMR to FDC or to intermediaries under a Distribution and Service Plan were considered to be paid out of a fund's assets on an ongoing basis, they might increase the cost of your investment and might cost you more than paying other types of sales charges.

To receive payments made pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan, intermediaries must sign the appropriate agreement with FDC in advance.

<R>From time to time, FDC may offer special promotional programs to investors who purchase shares of Fidelity funds. For example, FDC may offer merchandise, discounts, vouchers, or similar items to investors who purchase shares of certain Fidelity funds during certain periods. To determine if you qualify for any such programs, contact Fidelity or visit our web site at www.fidelity.com.</R>

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND LIMITATIONS

The following policies and limitations supplement those set forth in the prospectus. Unless otherwise noted, whenever an investment policy or limitation states a maximum percentage of a fund's assets that may be invested in any security or other asset, or sets forth a policy regarding quality standards, such standard or percentage limitation will be determined immediately after and as a result of the fund's acquisition of such security or other asset. Accordingly, any subsequent change in values, net assets, or other circumstances will not be considered when determining whether the investment complies with the fund's investment policies and limitations.

A fund's fundamental investment policies and limitations cannot be changed without approval by a "majority of the outstanding voting securities" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act)) of the fund. However, except for the fundamental investment limitations listed below, the investment policies and limitations described in this SAI are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.

<R>The following are each fund's fundamental investment limitations set forth in their entirety.</R>

<R>Diversification</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer, if, as a result, the fund would not comply with any applicable diversification requirements for a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules thereunder, as such may be amended from time to time.</R>

<R>Senior Securities</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund may not issue senior securities, except in connection with the insurance program established by the fund pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission or as otherwise permitted under the Investment Company Act of 1940.</R>

<R>Short Sales</R>

<R>For California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may not make short sales of securities (unless it owns or by virtue of its ownership of other securities has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold).</R>

<R>Margin Purchases</R>

<R>For California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may not purchase any securities on margin.</R>

<R>Borrowing</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund may not borrow money, except that the fund may borrow money for temporary or emergency purposes (not for leveraging or investment) in an amount not exceeding 33 1/3% of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings). Any borrowings that come to exceed this amount will be reduced within three days (not including Sundays and holidays) to the extent necessary to comply with the 33 1/3% limitation.</R>

<R>Underwriting</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that the fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 in the disposition of restricted securities or in connection with investments in other investment companies.</R>

<R>Concentration</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund may not purchase the securities of any issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or tax-exempt obligations issued or guaranteed by a U.S. territory or possession or a state or local government, or a political subdivision of any of the foregoing) if, as a result, more than 25% of the fund's total assets would be invested in securities of companies whose principal business activities are in the same industry.</R>

<R>For purposes of each of California Municipal Money Market's and Spartan California Municipal Money Market's concentration limitation discussed above, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer, FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.</R>

<R>Real Estate</R>

<R>For Spartan® California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may not purchase or sell real estate unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments (but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in securities or other instruments backed by real estate or securities of companies engaged in the real estate business).</R>

<R>For California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may not purchase or sell real estate, but this shall not prevent the fund from investing in municipal bonds or other obligations secured by real estate or interests therein.</R>

<R>Commodities</R>

<R>For California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities or other instruments. </R>

<R>For Spartan Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may not purchase or sell physical commodities unless acquired as a result of ownership of securities.</R>

<R>Loans</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund may not lend any security or make any other loan if, as a result, more than 33 1/3% of its total assets would be lent to other parties, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities or to repurchase agreements, or to acquisitions of loans, loan participations or other forms of debt instruments.</R>

<R>Oil, Gas, and Mineral Exploration Programs</R>

<R>For California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may not invest in oil, gas, or other mineral exploration or development programs.</R>

<R>Pooled Funds</R>

<R>For California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.</R>

<R>For Spartan California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund may, notwithstanding any other fundamental investment policy or limitation, invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.</R>

<R>The following investment limitations are not fundamental and may be changed without shareholder approval.</R>

<R>Diversification</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>With respect to 75% of its total assets, the fund does not currently intend to purchase the securities of an y issuer (other than securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other money market funds) if, as a result, more than 5% of the fund's total assets would be invested in the securities of that issuer.</R>

<R>For purposes of each fund's diversification limitation discussed above, FMR identifies the issuer of a security depending on its terms and conditions. In identifying the issuer FMR will consider the entity or entities responsible for payment of interest and repayment of principal and the source of such payments; the way in which assets and revenues of an issuing political subdivision are separated from those of other political entities; and whether a governmental body is guaranteeing the security.</R>

<R>For purposes of each fund's diversification limitation discussed above, certain securities subject to guarantees (including insurance, letters of credit and demand features) are not considered securities of their issuer, but are subject to separate diversification requirements, in accordance with industry standard requirements for money market funds.</R>

<R>Short Sales</R>

<R>For Spartan California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund does not currently intend to sell securities short, unless it owns or has the right to obtain securities equivalent in kind and amount to the securities sold short, and provided that transactions in futures contracts and options are not deemed to constitute selling securities short.</R>

<R>Margin Purchases</R>

<R>For Spartan California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund does not currently intend to purchase securities on margin, except that the fund may obtain such short-term credits as are necessary for the clearance of transactions, and provided that margin payments in connection with futures contracts and options on futures contracts shall not constitute purchasing securities on margin.</R>

<R>Borrowing</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund may borrow money only (a) from a bank or from a registered investment company or portfolio for which FMR or an affiliate serves as investment adviser or (b) by engaging in reverse repurchase agreements with any party (reverse repurchase agreements are treated as borrowings for purposes of the fundamental borrowing investment limitation).</R>

<R>Illiquid Securities</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund does not currently intend to purchase any security if, as a result, more than 10% of its net assets would be invested in securities that are deemed to be illiquid because they are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale or because they cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued.</R>

<R>For purposes of each fund's illiquid securities limitation discussed above, if through a change in values, net assets, or other circumstances, the fund were in a position where more than 10% of its net assets were invested in illiquid securities, it would consider appropriate steps to protect liquidity.</R>

<R>Loans</R>

<R>For each fund:</R>

<R>The fund does not currently intend to engage in repurchase agreements or make loans, but this limitation does not apply to purchases of debt securities.</R>

<R>Pooled Funds</R>

<R>For California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company managed by Fidelity Management & Research Company or an affiliate or successor with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.</R>

<R>For Spartan California Municipal Money Market:</R>

<R>The fund does not currently intend to invest all of its assets in the securities of a single open-end management investment company with substantially the same fundamental investment objective, policies, and limitations as the fund.</R>

<R>The following pages contain more detailed information about types of instruments in which a fund may invest, strategies FMR may employ in pursuit of a fund's investment objective, and a summary of related risks. FMR may not buy all of these instruments or use all of these techniques unless it believes that doing so will help a fund achieve its goal.</R>

Affiliated Bank Transactions. A fund may engage in transactions with financial institutions that are, or may be considered to be, "affiliated persons" of the fund under the 1940 Act. These transactions may involve repurchase agreements with custodian banks; short-term obligations of, and repurchase agreements with, the 50 largest U.S. banks (measured by deposits); municipal securities; U.S. Government securities with affiliated financial institutions that are primary dealers in these securities; short-term currency transactions; and short-term borrowings. In accordance with exemptive orders issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Board of Trustees has established and periodically reviews procedures applicable to transactions involving affiliated financial institutions.

<R>Borrowing. Each fund may borrow from banks or from other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates, or through reverse repurchase agreements, and may make additional investments while borrowings are outstanding.</R>

<R>Cash Management. A fund can hold uninvested cash. A municipal fund's uninvested cash may earn credits that reduce fund expenses.</R>

Central Funds are money market or short-term bond funds managed by FMR or its affiliates. The money market central funds seek to earn a high level of current income (free from federal income tax in the case of a municipal money market fund) while maintaining a stable $1.00 share price. The money market central funds comply with industry-standard requirements for money market funds regarding the quality, maturity, and diversification of their investments. The short-term bond central funds seek to obtain a high level of current income consistent with preservation of capital.

Illiquid Securities cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business at approximately the prices at which they are valued. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or may be costly to a fund. Under the supervision of the Board of Trustees, FMR determines the liquidity of a fund's investments and, through reports from FMR, the Board monitors investments in illiquid securities. In determining the liquidity of a fund's investments, FMR may consider various factors, including (1) the frequency and volume of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, and (4) the nature of the security and the market in which it trades (including any demand, put or tender features, the mechanics and other requirements for transfer, any letters of credit or other credit enhancement features, any ratings, the number of holders, the method of soliciting offers, the time required to dispose of the security, and the ability to assign or offset the rights and obligations of the security).

Interfund Borrowing and Lending Program. Pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the SEC, a fund may lend money to, and borrow money from, other funds advised by FMR or its affiliates; however, municipal funds currently intend to participate in this program only as borrowers. A fund will borrow through the program only when the costs are equal to or lower than the costs of bank loans. Interfund borrowings normally extend overnight, but can have a maximum duration of seven days. Loans may be called on one day's notice. A fund may have to borrow from a bank at a higher interest rate if an interfund loan is called or not renewed.

Money Market Securities are high-quality, short-term obligations. Money market securities may be structured to be, or may employ a trust or other form so that they are, eligible investments for money market funds. For example, put features can be used to modify the maturity of a security or interest rate adjustment features can be used to enhance price stability. If a structure fails to function as intended, adverse tax or investment consequences may result. Neither the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) nor any other regulatory authority has ruled definitively on certain legal issues presented by certain structured securities. Future tax or other regulatory determinations could adversely affect the value, liquidity, or tax treatment of the income received from these securities or the nature and timing of distributions made by the funds.

Municipal Leases and participation interests therein may take the form of a lease, an installment purchase, or a conditional sale contract and are issued by state and local governments and authorities to acquire land or a wide variety of equipment and facilities. Generally, a fund will not hold these obligations directly as a lessor of the property, but will purchase a participation interest in a municipal obligation from a bank or other third party. A participation interest gives the purchaser a specified, undivided interest in the obligation in proportion to its purchased interest in the total amount of the issue.

Municipal leases frequently have risks distinct from those associated with general obligation or revenue bonds. State constitutions and statutes set forth requirements that states or municipalities must meet to incur debt. These may include voter referenda, interest rate limits, or public sale requirements. Leases, installment purchases, or conditional sale contracts (which normally provide for title to the leased asset to pass to the governmental issuer) have evolved as a means for governmental issuers to acquire property and equipment without meeting their constitutional and statutory requirements for the issuance of debt. Many leases and contracts include "non-appropriation clauses" providing that the governmental issuer has no obligation to make future payments under the lease or contract unless money is appropriated for such purposes by the appropriate legislative body on a yearly or other periodic basis. Non-appropriation clauses free the issuer from debt issuance limitations. If a municipality stops making payments or transfers its obligations to a private entity, the obligation could lose value or become taxable.

Municipal Market Disruption Risk. The value of municipal securities may be affected by uncertainties in the municipal market related to legislation or litigation involving the taxation of municipal securities or the rights of municipal securities holders in the event of a bankruptcy. Proposals to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities are introduced before Congress from time to time. Proposals also may be introduced before the California legislature that would affect the state tax treatment of a municipal fund's distributions. If such proposals were enacted, the availability of municipal securities and the value of a municipal fund's holdings would be affected, and the Trustees would reevaluate the fund's investment objectives and policies. Municipal bankruptcies are relatively rare, and certain provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code governing such bankruptcies are unclear and remain untested. Further, the application of state law to municipal issuers could produce varying results among the states or among municipal securities issuers within a state. These legal uncertainties could affect the municipal securities market generally, certain specific segments of the market, or the relative credit quality of particular securities. Any of these effects could have a significant impact on the prices of some or all of the municipal securities held by a fund, making it more difficult for a money market fund to maintain a stable net asset value per share (NAV).

Education. In general, there are two types of education-related bond<R>s: tho</R>se issued to finance projects for public and private colleges and universities, and those representing pooled interests in student loans. Bonds issued to supply educational institutions with funds are subject to the risk of unanticipated revenue decline, primarily the result of decreasing student enrollment or decreasing state and federal funding. Among the factors that may lead to declining or insufficient revenues are restrictions on students' ability to pay tuition, availability of state and federal funding, and general economic conditions. Student loan revenue bonds are generally offered by state (or substate) authorities or commissions and are backed by pools of student loans. Underlying student loans may be guaranteed by state guarantee agencies and may be subject to reimbursement by the United States Department of Education through its guaranteed student loan program. Others may be private, uninsured loans made to parents or students which are supported by reserves or other forms of credit enhancement. Recoveries of principal due to loan defaults may be applied to redemption of bonds or may be used to re-lend, depending on program latitude and demand for loans. Cash flows supporting student loan revenue bonds are impacted by numerous factors, including the rate of student loan defaults, seasoning of the loan portfolio, and student repayment deferral periods of forbearance. Other risks associated with student loan revenue bonds include potential changes in federal legislation regarding student loan revenue bonds, state guarantee agency reimbursement and continued federal interest and other program subsidies currently in effect.

Electric Utilities. The electric utilities industry has been experiencing, and will continue to experience, increased competitive pressures. Federal legislation in the last two years will open transmission access to any electricity supplier, although it is not presently known to what extent competition will evolve. Other risks include: (a) the availability and cost of fuel, (b) the availability and cost of capital, (c) the effects of conservation on energy demand, (d) the effects of rapidly changing environmental, safety, and licensing requirements, and other federal, state, and local regulations, (e) timely and sufficient rate increases, and (f) opposition to nuclear power.

Health Care. The health care industry is subject to regulatory action by a number of private and governmental agencies, including federal, state, and local governmental agencies. A major source of revenues for the health care industry is payments from the Medicare and Medicaid programs. As a result, the industry is sensitive to legislative changes and reductions in governmental spending for such programs. Numerous other factors may affect the industry, such as general and local economic conditions; demand for services; expenses (including malpractice insurance premiums); and competition among health care providers. In the future, the following elements may adversely affect health care facility operations: adoption of legislation proposing a national health insurance program; other state or local health care reform measures; medical and technological advances which dramatically alter the need for health services or the way in which such services are delivered; changes in medical coverage which alter the traditional fee-for-service revenue stream; and efforts by employers, insurers, and governmental agencies to reduce the costs of health insurance and health care services.

Housing. Housing revenue bonds are generally issued by a state, county, city, local housing authority, or other public agency. They generally are secured by the revenues derived from mortgages purchased with the proceeds of the bond issue. It is extremely difficult to predict the supply of available mortgages to be purchased with the proceeds of an issue or the future cash flow from the underlying mortgages. Consequently, there are risks that proceeds will exceed supply, resulting in early retirement of bonds, or that homeowner repayments will create an irregular cash flow. Many factors may affect the financing of multi-family housing projects, including acceptable completion of construction, proper management, occupancy and rent levels, economic conditions, and changes to current laws and regulations.

Transportation. Transportation debt may be issued to finance the construction of airports, toll roads, highways, or other transit facilities. Airport bonds are dependent on the general stability of the airline industry and on the stability of a specific carrier who uses the airport as a hub. Air traffic generally follows broader economic trends and is also affected by the price and availability of fuel. Toll road bonds are also affected by the cost and availability of fuel as well as toll levels, the presence of competing roads and the general economic health of an area. Fuel costs and availability also affect other transportation-related securities, as do the presence of alternate forms of transportation, such as public transportation.

Water and Sewer. Water and sewer revenue bonds are often considered to have relatively secure credit as a result of their issuer's importance, monopoly status, and generally unimpeded ability to raise rates. Despite this, lack of water supply due to insufficient rain, run-off, or snow pack is a concern that has led to past defaults. Further, public resistance to rate increases, costly environmental litigation, and Federal environmental mandates are challenges faced by issuers of water and sewer bonds.

Put Features entitle the holder to sell a security back to the issuer or a third party at any time or at specified intervals. In exchange for this benefit, a fund may accept a lower interest rate. Securities with put features are subject to the risk that the put provider is unable to honor the put feature (purchase the security). Put providers often support their ability to buy securities on demand by obtaining letters of credit or other guarantees from other entities. Demand features, standby commitments, and tender options are types of put features.

Repurchase Agreements involve an agreement to purchase a security and to sell that security back to the original seller at an agreed-upon price. The resale price reflects the purchase price plus an agreed-upon incremental amount which is unrelated to the coupon rate or maturity of the purchased security. As protection against the risk that the original seller will not fulfill its obligation, the securities are held in a separate account at a bank, marked-to-market daily, and maintained at a value at least equal to the sale price plus the accrued incremental amount. The value of the security purchased may be more or less than the price at which the counterparty has agreed to purchase the security. In addition, delays or losses could result if the other party to the agreement defaults or becomes insolvent. The funds will engage in repurchase agreement transactions with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR.

Restricted Securities are subject to legal restrictions on their sale. Difficulty in selling securities may result in a loss or be costly to a fund. Restricted securities generally can be sold in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the 1933 Act), or in a registered public offering. Where registration is required, the holder of a registered security may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expense and a considerable period may elapse between the time it decides to seek registration and the time it may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the holder might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to seek registration of the security.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. In a reverse repurchase agreement, a fund sells a security to another party, such as a bank or broker-dealer, in return for cash and agrees to repurchase that security at an agreed-upon price and time. The funds will enter into reverse repurchase agreements with parties whose creditworthiness has been reviewed and found satisfactory by FMR. Such transactions may increase fluctuations in the market value of fund assets and a fund's yield and may be viewed as a form of leverage.

Securities of Other Investment Companies, including shares of closed-end investment companies, unit investment trusts, and open-end investment companies, represent interests in professionally managed portfolios that may invest in any type of instrument. Investing in other investment companies involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the underlying instruments, but may involve additional expenses at the investment company-level, such as portfolio management fees and operating expenses. Certain types of investment companies, such as closed-end investment companies, issue a fixed number of shares that trade on a stock exchange or over-the-counter at a premium or a discount to their NAV. Others are continuously offered at NAV, but may also be traded in the secondary market.

The extent to which a fund can invest in securities of other investment companies is limited by federal securities laws.

Sources of Liquidity or Credit Support. Issuers may employ various forms of credit and liquidity enhancements, including letters of credit, guarantees, puts, and demand features, and insurance provided by domestic or foreign entities such as banks and other financial institutions. FMR may rely on its evaluation of the credit of the liquidity or credit enhancement provider in determining whether to purchase a security supported by such enhancement. In evaluating the credit of a foreign bank or other foreign entities, FMR will consider whether adequate public information about the entity is available and whether the entity may be subject to unfavorable political or economic developments, currency controls, or other government restrictions that might affect its ability to honor its commitment. Changes in the credit quality of the entity providing the enhancement could affect the value of the security or a fund's share price.

<R>Temporary Defensive Policies. Each fund reserves the right to hold a substantial amount of uninvested cash or to invest more than normally permitted in taxable obligations for temporary, defensive purposes.</R>

<R>Variable and Floating Rate Securities provide for periodic adjustments in the interest rate paid on the security. Variable rate securities provide for a specified periodic adjustment in the interest rate, while floating rate securities have interest rates that change whenever there is a change in a designated benchmark rate or the issuer's credit quality. Some variable or floating rate securities are structured with put features that permit holders to demand payment of the unpaid principal balance plus accrued interest from the issuers or certain financial intermediaries.</R>

When-Issued and Forward Purchase or Sale Transactions involve a commitment to purchase or sell specific securities at a predetermined price or yield in which payment and delivery take place after the customary settlement period for that type of security. Typically, no interest accrues to the purchaser until the security is delivered.

When purchasing securities pursuant to one of these transactions, the purchaser assumes the rights and risks of ownership, including the risks of price and yield fluctuations and the risk that the security will not be issued as anticipated. Because payment for the securities is not required until the delivery date, these risks are in addition to the risks associated with a fund's investments. If a fund remains substantially fully invested at a time when a purchase is outstanding, the purchases may result in a form of leverage. When a fund has sold a security pursuant to one of these transactions, the fund does not participate in further gains or losses with respect to the security. If the other party to a delayed-delivery transaction fails to deliver or pay for the securities, a fund could miss a favorable price or yield opportunity or suffer a loss.

A fund may renegotiate a when-issued or forward transaction and may sell the underlying securities before delivery, which may result in capital gains or losses for the fund.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING CALIFORNIA

Certain California constitutional amendments, legislative measures, executive orders, administrative regulations, and voter initiatives, as discussed below, could adversely affect the market values and marketability of, or result in default of, existing obligations, including obligations that may be held by a fund. Obligations of the state or local governments may also be affected by budgetary pressures affecting the State of California (the State) and economic conditions in the State. Interest income to a fund could also be adversely affected. The following discussion highlights only some of the more significant financial trends and problems, and is based on information drawn from official statements and prospectuses relating to securities offerings of the State, its agencies, or instrumentalities, as available as of the date of this SAI. FMR has not independently verified any of the information contained in such official statements and other publicly available documents, but is not aware of any fact which would render such information inaccurate.

Overview

<R>Following several years of very strong growth in the late 1990's, which produced large State revenue surpluses, the State's financial condition started to worsen since the start of 2001, with the combination of a mild Statewide economic recession (but with a severe downturn in the high technology sector centered in the San Francisco Bay Area) and a dramatic decline in revenue from capital gains and stock option activity resulting from the decline in stock market levels since mid-2000. Revenues in the 2002-03 fiscal year proved to be substantially lower than projections, largely because of continued weakness in the economy and stock markets. By May 2003, the Governor reported that that a budget gap of over $30 billion (after about $7 billion of budget actions had been taken earlier in 2003) would have to be addressed for the balance of the 2002-03 fiscal year and the upcoming 2003-04 fiscal year. See "Recent Financial Results - Continuing Budget Shortfall" below.</R>

<R>Strong partisan disagreement in the Legislature about the appropriate combination of spending reductions and revenue increases needed to close this gap led to a delay of almost one month in enactment of the 2003-04 fiscal year budget. In its final form it resembled the Governor's proposals with a combination of large spending cuts, fund transfers, deferrals and loans, and issuance of bonds to spread out repayment over several years of an accumulated budget deficit then estimated at $10.7 billion (but subsequently recalculated at $8.6 billion). The final budget compromise recognized expressly that the balancing of the 2003-04 budget used a number of one-time budget measures and borrowings, and that there was a structural deficit of about $8 billion built into the 2004-05 fiscal year budget which would have to be addressed. The sluggish economy and cuts in State aid will adversely affect local government finances in 2004 and beyond.</R>

<R>In October, 2004, a successful recall election resulting in the replacement of the prior Governor with new Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. The new Governor has proposed substantial additional spending reductions as part of the proposed 2004-05 Budget. On March 2, 2004, voters approved two companion ballot propositions which had been sponsored by the Governor. Proposition 57 authorizes issuance of $15 billion of economic recovery bonds to fund previous budget deficits. Proposition 58 implemented changes in state budget procedures designed to mandate adoption of balanced budgets in the future, to grant greater mid-year budget adjustment powers, to require creation of a budget reserve, and to prohibit future long-term borrowing to finance budget deficits (once the bonds approved by Proposition 57 are issued).</R>

<R>The State has been facing serious cash flow difficulties since the 2001-02 fiscal year as a result of the ongoing budget deficits and severely reduced revenues. It has had to resort to external borrowing starting in the fall of 2001 to assure sufficient cash resources to pay its ongoing obligations, including maturing cash flow notes. The State issued $11 billion of cash flow notes in mid-June 2003, and an additional $3 billion of notes in October, 2003, both issues to mature in June, 2004. Repayment of this borrowing is expected to come from ongoing revenues and proceeds from the issuance of the deficit retirement bonds approved at the March 2004 election. The State's ability to meet its cash requirements may continue to depend on access to capital markets until it brings revenues and expenses into closer balance. See "Recent Financial Results - Cash Flow Requirements" below.</R>

Economic Factors

<R>California's economy is the largest among the 50 states and one of the largest in the world. The State's population of almost 36 million represents about 12-1/2% of the total United States population and grew by 26% in the 1980s, more than double the national rate. Population growth slowed to less than 1% annually in 1994 and 1995, but rose to almost 2% in the final years of the 1990's. The bulk of population growth in the State is due to births and foreign immigration.</R>

<R>Total personal income in the State, at an estimated $1,199 billion in 2003, accounts for over 13% of all personal income in the nation. Total employment is over 16 million, the majority of which is in the service, trade and manufacturing sectors.</R>

<R>California began a period of strong economic growth in 1994 in virtually all sectors, particularly in high technology manufacturing and services, including computer software and other services, entertainment, tourism, and construction, and also with very strong growth in exports. The California economy outpaced the nation during this period. By the end of 2000, unemployment in the State had dropped to under 5%, its lowest level in three decades. In 2001, the State finally showed the impact of the nationwide economic slowdown, coupled with a cyclical downturn in the high technology sector (including Internet-related businesses) and entered a mild recession. International trade also slowed since the start of 2001 reflecting weakness in overseas economies (particularly in Asia). Job losses have been concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area, particularly in high technology industries; economic conditions have been better in other parts of the State. Statewide, modest job growth appeared to have begun by early 2002, but job growth stalled by summer 2002. Between December 2002 and December 2003 non-farm employment dropped by 0.2 percent, but the unemployment was reduced from 6.9% to 6.4%. Most recent indications reported by the Department of Finance suggest that employment has been increasing in the second half of 2003 and into 2004 Residential construction and existing home sales remained strong in 2003, in part due to low interest rates, but nonresidential construction was weak for the third consecutive year in 2003. In January, 2004, the State Department of Finance projected there would be only moderate growth in the economy in 2004, with stronger growth in 2005. The Department predicts the California economy will mirror the national economy. The recession, combined particularly with the decline in the stock markets since mid-2000, resulted in much weaker State revenues in Fiscal Years 2001-02 and 2002-03 than had been previously projected, as discussed further below under "Recent Financial Results."</R>

<R>Widely publicized difficulties in California's energy supplies had been seen in early 2001 to pose some risks to the economy, but during the summers of 2001 and 2002 there were no electricity blackouts or shortages of natural gas. Although energy prices have risen from the levels of three years ago, they have now appeared to have stabilized. Energy difficulties are mitigated by the fact that California's economy is very energy-efficient. A number of investigations and lawsuits are ongoing against energy suppliers seeking refunds for California customers for alleged overcharges during the crisis period in 2000 and 2001.</R>

Constitutional Limitations on Taxes, Other Charges and Appropriations

Limitation on Property Taxes. Certain California Municipal Obligations may be obligations of issuers which rely in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, on ad valorem property taxes as a source of revenue. The taxing powers of California local governments and districts are limited by Article XIIIA of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1978 and commonly known as "Proposition 13." Briefly, Article XIIIA limits the rate of ad valorem property taxes to 1% of full cash value of real property and generally restricts the reassessment of property to 2% per year, except upon new construction or change of ownership (subject to a number of exemptions). Taxing entities may, however, raise ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit to pay debt service on voter-approved bonded indebtedness.

Under Article XIIIA, the basic 1% ad valorem tax levy is applied against the assessed value of property as of the owner's date of acquisition (or as of March 1, 1975, if acquired earlier), subject to certain adjustments. This system has resulted in widely varying amounts of tax on similarly situated properties. Several lawsuits were filed challenging the acquisition-based assessment system of Proposition 13, but it was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1992.

Article XIIIA prohibits local governments from raising revenues through ad valorem taxes above the 1% limit; it also requires voters of any governmental unit to give two-thirds approval to levy any "special tax."

Limitations on Other Taxes, Fees and Charges. On November 5, 1996, the voters of the State approved Proposition 218, called the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act." Proposition 218 added Articles XIIIC and XIIID to the State Constitution, which contain a number of provisions affecting the ability of local agencies to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, fees and charges.

Article XIIIC requires that all new or increased local taxes be submitted to the voters before they become effective. Taxes for general governmental purposes require a majority vote and taxes for specific purposes require a two-thirds vote.

Article XIIID contains several new provisions making it generally more difficult for local agencies to levy and maintain "assessments" for municipal services and programs. Article XIIID also contains several new provisions affecting "fees" and "charges", defined for purposes of Article XIIID to mean "any levy other than an ad valorem tax, a special tax, or an assessment, imposed by a [local government] upon a parcel or upon a person as an incident of property ownership, including a user fee or charge for a property related service." All new and existing property related fees and charges must conform to requirements prohibiting, among other things, fees and charges which generate revenues exceeding the funds required to provide the property related service or are used for unrelated purposes. There are new notice, hearing and protest procedures for levying or increasing property related fees and charges, and, except for fees or charges for sewer, water and refuse collection services (or fees for electrical and gas service, which are not treated as "property related" for purposes of Article XIIID), no property related fee or charge may be imposed or increased without majority approval by the property owners subject to the fee or charge or, at the option of the local agency, two-thirds voter approval by the electorate residing in the affected area.

In addition to the provisions described above, Article XIIIC removes limitations on the initiative power in matters of local taxes, assessments, fees and charges. Consequently, local voters could, by future initiative, repeal, reduce or prohibit the future imposition or increase of any local tax, assessment, fee or charge. It is unclear how this right of local initiative may be used in cases where taxes or charges have been or will be specifically pledged to secure debt issues.

The interpretation and application of Proposition 218 will ultimately be determined by the courts with respect to a number of matters, and it is not possible at this time to predict with certainty the outcome of such cases.

Appropriations Limits. The State and its local governments are subject to an annual "appropriations limit" imposed by Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, enacted by the voters in 1979 and significantly amended by Propositions 98 and 111 in 1988 and 1990, respectively. Article XIIIB prohibits the State or any covered local government from spending "appropriations subject to limitation" in excess of the appropriations limit imposed. "Appropriations subject to limitation" are authorizations to spend "proceeds of taxes," which consist of tax revenues and certain other funds, including proceeds from regulatory licenses, user charges or other fees, to the extent that such proceeds exceed the cost of providing the product or service, but "proceeds of taxes" exclude most State subventions to local governments. No limit is imposed on appropriations of funds which are not "proceeds of taxes," such as reasonable user charges or fees, and certain other non-tax funds, including bond proceeds.

Among the expenditures not included in the Article XIIIB appropriations limit are (1) the debt service cost of bonds issued or authorized prior to January 1, 1979, or subsequently authorized by the voters, (2) appropriations to comply with mandates of courts or the federal government, (3) appropriations for certain capital outlay projects, (4) appropriations by the State of post-1989 increases in gasoline taxes and vehicle weight fees, and (5) appropriations made in certain cases of emergency.

The appropriations limit for each year is adjusted annually to reflect changes in cost of living and population, and any transfers of service responsibilities between government units. The definitions for such adjustments were liberalized in 1990 to follow more closely growth in the State's economy.

"Excess" revenues are measured over a two year cycle. Local governments must return any excess to taxpayers by rate reductions. The State must refund 50% of any excess, with the other 50% paid to schools and community colleges. With more liberal annual adjustment factors since 1988, and depressed revenues in the early 1990's because of the recession, few governments have been operating near their spending limits, but this condition may change over time. Local governments may by voter approval exceed their spending limits for up to four years. Because of extraordinary revenue receipts in fiscal year 1999-2000, State appropriations were estimated to be about $975 million above the limit. However, since the State was $2.1 billion below its limit in fiscal year 2000-01, resulting in no excess over the two-year period, no refunds were made. 1999-2000 was the only fiscal year since the late 1980's when State appropriations were above the limit. The State Department of Finance estimates the State will be about $13.4 billion below its appropriation limit in fiscal year in 2003-04 and about $12.8 billion below the limit in 2004-05.

Because of the complex nature of Articles XIIIA, XIIIB, XIIIC and XIIID of the California Constitution, the ambiguities and possible inconsistencies in their terms, and the impossibility of predicting future appropriations or changes in population and cost of living, and the probability of continuing legal challenges, it is not currently possible to determine fully the impact of these Articles on California municipal obligations or on the ability of the State or local governments to pay debt service on such California municipal obligations. It is not possible, at the present time, to predict the outcome of any pending litigation with respect to the ultimate scope, impact or constitutionality of these Articles or the impact of any such determinations upon State agencies or local governments, or upon their ability to pay debt service on their obligations. Further initiatives or legislative changes in laws or the California Constitution may also affect the ability of the State or local issuers to repay their obligations.

Obligations of the State of California

<R>Under the California Constitution, debt service on outstanding general obligation bonds is the second charge to the General Fund after support of the public school system and public institutions of higher education. As of February 1, 2004, the State had outstanding approximately $31.3 billion of long-term general obligation bonds and $6.9 billion of lease-purchase debt supported by the State General Fund. The State issued $2.0 billion of general obligation bonds in late February 2004 and plans an additional sale of $1.75 billion in April 2004. As of February 1, 2004 the State had about $22.2 billion of authorized and unissued long-term general obligation bonds and $4.3 billion of authorized and unissued lease-purchase debt. Voters approved a $12.3 billion bond authorization for public school and university construction at the March 2, 2004 election, plus $15 billion of deficit financing bonds (Proposition 57) which are additionally secured by a portion of the State's sales tax. The State plans to sell about $12.3 billion of the deficit financing bonds before the end of the 2003-04 fiscal year. In FY 2002-03, debt service on general obligation bonds and lease purchase debt was approximately 3.5% of General Fund revenues. Additional bond authorizations may be on the ballot in November 2004. See also "Bond Ratings" below.</R>

Recent Financial Results

The principal sources of General Fund tax revenues in 2002-03 were the California personal income tax (48 percent of total tax revenues), the sales tax (35 percent), corporation taxes (8 percent), and the gross premium tax on insurance (2 percent). A large portion of personal income tax receipts was derived from capital gains realizations and stock option income. While these sources have been extraordinarily strong in the late 1990's and 2000, they are particularly volatile. In preparing the most recent budget, the State took account of the recent drop in stock market levels and reduced its estimated receipts from these revenues as compared to prior years. The Department of Finance has projected that this source of revenue dropped from 25% of all General Fund revenues in 2000-01 to 11% in 2001-02 and 8% in 2002-03; this represents the bulk of the total General Fund revenue shortfall in these two fiscal years.

The State maintains a Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties (the "SFEU"), derived from General Fund revenues, as a reserve to meet cash needs of the General Fund, but which is required to be replenished as soon as sufficient revenues are available. Year-end balances in the SFEU are included for financial reporting purposes in the General Fund balance.

Throughout the 1980's, State spending increased rapidly as the State population and economy also grew rapidly, including increased spending for many assistance programs to local governments, which were constrained by Proposition 13 and other laws. The largest State program is assistance to local public school districts. In 1988, an initiative (Proposition 98) was enacted which (subject to suspension by a two-thirds vote of the Legislature and the Governor) guarantees local school districts and community college districts a minimum share of State General Fund revenues (currently about 35 percent).

<R>The substantial declines in the stock markets have adversely affected the earnings of State pension funds, and have created unfunded future pension liabilities, where there had been surpluses several years ago. The State's annual contributions to the Public Employee's Retirement System have increased from $157 million in FY 2000-01 to $2.2 billion in FY 2003-04.</R>

<R></R>Balanced Budget Amendment

<R>On March 2, 2004, voters approved Proposition 58, a constitutional amendment called the "Balanced Budget Amendment," which will affect future State budgeting procedures. This amendment was linked to Proposition 57, also approved by the voters, which authorized issuance of $15 billion of long-term general obligation bonds, additionally secured by a 1/4 cent increment of the State's sales tax, which will eliminate the accumulated budget deficits through June 30, 2004 and certain additional obligations incurred by the State.</R>

<R>The Balanced Budget Amendment will require the Legislature, starting in the 2004-05 fiscal year, to enact a budget bill in which General Fund expenditures do not exceed estimated General Fund revenues and available reserves After passage of the budget act, if the Governor determines that the State is facing substantial revenue shortfalls or spending deficiencies, the Governor may declare a fiscal emergency, and propose legislation to address the emergency. The Legislature would be called in to special session to address this proposal. If the Legislature failed to send legislation to the Governor to address the fiscal emergency within 45 days, it would be prohibited from acting on any other bills or adjourning until fiscal legislation is passed.</R>

<R>The Amendment also creates a special reserve called the Budget Stabilization Account in the State General Fund. Beginning in FY 2006-07, a portion of estimated annual General Fund revenues would be transferred by the Controller into the Account not later than September 30 of each year. The transfer begins at 1 percent of revenues, and increases annually to reach a level of 3 percent. The transfers would continue until the Budget Stabilization Account reaches a balance of the greater of $8 billion or 5 percent of General Fund revenue. Moneys in the Account may be used to make up for unexpected budget imbalances, but will then have to be replenished with future transfers until the target level is reached. The annual transfer can be suspended by the Governor by an executive order issued not later than June 1 of the preceding fiscal year. The Amendment requires that one half of the Budget Stabilization Account deposits, up to an aggregate of $5 billion, shall be transferred to the State Treasurer to provide for early redemption of the deficit retirement bonds approved by Proposition 57.</R>

<R>A final provision of the Amendment will prohibit future long-term bond issuances for the purpose of funding budget deficits, once the bonds authorized by Proposition 57 are issued. Short term borrowing for cash flow management will continue to be authorized.</R>

<R></R>Recent Budgets.

<R>The economy, and especially the stock markets, grew strongly during the second half of the 1990's, and as a result, the General Fund took in substantially greater tax revenues (an aggregate of more than $20 billion over the six fiscal years 1995-96 through 2000-01) than were initially planned when the budgets were enacted. These additional funds were largely directed to school spending as mandated by Proposition 98, and to make up shortfalls from reduced federal health and welfare aid in 1995-96 and 1996-97. In 1998-99 through 2000-01, new spending programs were also enacted, particularly for education, new capital outlay projects were funded from current receipts, and significant tax reductions were enacted. The Department of Finance estimates that the State's budget reserve (the SFEU) reached a high point of $8.7 billion at June 30, 2000. In the ensuing three years, the combination of continuing high spending levels and substantially reduced revenues resulting from the economic slowdown and stock market decline brought the estimated balance of the SFEU to a negative $8.6 billion by June 30, 2003.</R>

<R>The growth in General Fund revenues since 1994-95 resulted in significant increases in State funding for local school districts under Proposition 98. From the 1994-95 level of about $4,200 per pupil, annual State funding has increased to just below $7,000 per pupil in FY 2003-04. A significant amount of the new moneys have been directed to specific educational reforms, including reduction of class sizes in many grade levels.</R>

<R>Part of the 1997-98 Budget Act was completion of State welfare reform legislation to implement the new federal law passed in 1996. The new State program, called "CalWORKs," became effective January 1, 1998, and emphasizes programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce. As required by federal law, new time limits are placed on receipt of welfare aid. Generally, health and welfare costs have been contained even during the recent period of economic recovery, with the first real increases (after inflation) in welfare support levels occurring in 1999-2000 and additional increases in 2000-01.</R>

<R>An important element of recent Budget Acts (during the years of large capital gains receipts) was agreement on substantial tax cuts. The largest of these was a phased-in cut in the Vehicle License Fee (an annual tax on the value of cars registered in the State, the "VLF"). Starting on January 1, 1999, the VLF was reduced by 25 percent, which was increased in steps to a 67.5% reduction effective January 1, 2001. Under pre-existing law, VLF funds were automatically transferred to cities and counties, so the new legislation provided for the General Fund to make up the reductions. The full 67.5% percent VLF cut was offset by transfers of about $4.2 billion annually from the General Fund. Other miscellaneous business and personal tax cuts and tax credits were of a much smaller overall amount.</R>

<R>The previous Governor attempted to raise the VLF back to its 1998 level because of shortfalls in General Fund money to make the "offset" to cities and counties This action was challenged in court. Subsequently, the newly elected Governor Schwarzenegger reversed this action and committed to retain the VLF cut and the offset to local governments. This action, too, has been challenged in court. </R>

Fiscal Year 2002-03 Budget

<R>The magnitude of the budget gap which had to be addressed led to a substantial delay in enactment of the 2002-03 Budget Act ("2003 Budget Act") until September 5, 2002, more than two months into the fiscal year. Despite delay in approval of the 2003 Budget Act, most State operations continued based on continuing appropriation legislation, constitutional requirements or court orders. Debt service on State debt was paid, most health and welfare programs and education payments were funded, and State employees, other than elected officials and senior management employees, were paid.</R>

<R>The 2002 Budget Act addressed a $23.6 billion gap between expenditures and resources through a combination of program reductions, internal loans, bond issuances, fund shifts, accelerations and transfers, and modest tax changes. Some of these actions and assumptions ultimately proved to be unavailable, and revenues in the 2002-03 fiscal year continued to decline from original projections, as economic growth stalled instead of increasing, as had been expected.</R>

<R>By November, 2002, reports both from the independent Legislative Analyst's Office and the Department of Finance made clear that the 2002-03 budget would fall far short of projections. As part of the 2003-04 Governor's Budget proposal, released January 10, 2003 (the "2004 Governor's Budget"), the Governor called for immediate actions to reduce the budget gap by about $10.2 billion, of which $5.5 billion would be seen in 2002-03 and the balance in 2003-04. In March and April 2003, the Legislature passed budget adjustment legislation including spending reductions, deferrals, bond authorization and funding transfers totaling about $3.3 billion in fiscal year 2002-03 and about $3.6 billion in fiscal year 2003-04.</R>

<R></R>Fiscal Year 2003-04 Budget

<R></R>Original Budget Proposal The Proposed 2003-04 Governor's Budget released on January 10, 2003 (the "2004 Governor's Budget") projected a continuing, significant downward revision of estimated State revenues, and indicated that for the combined 2002-03 and 2003-04 period, the nominal budget "gap" to be addressed was in the neighborhood of $35 billion. This consisted of about $17.7 billion of reduced revenues compared to earlier projections, $4.5 billion of additional expenditures, and the "loss" of $12.6 billion in budgetary resources allocated to one-time budgetary actions taken in the 2002 Budget Act which could not be duplicated (such as the sale of future tobacco settlement receipts).

<R>The 2004 Governor's Budget sought to close the entire $35 billion gap in the context of actions which would be completed by the end of the 2003-04 fiscal year. The plan included about $20.8 billion of spending reductions, a plan to transfer responsibility for many health and social services programs to local governments, relieving the State of over $8.1 billion of costs, and about $5.8 billion of additional funding shifts and transfers, loans, and other revenues. Certain new taxes were proposed to fund the local governments' increased costs for the programs to be shifted.</R>

<R></R>May Revision As noted above some budget reductions were passed by the Legislature in March and April, 2003, but less than the amounts requested by the Governor. In May 2003, the Governor released the May Revision to the 2004 Governor's Budget ("2004 May Revision"), which updated forecasts and provided a substantially revised budget plan for 2003-04.

<R>First, the 2004 May Revision estimated that the budget gap had grown to about $38.2 billion (not counting the actions already taken), largely due to the cancellation of the $2 billion tobacco securitization scheduled in April 2003, and higher caseloads in certain programs. Actual tax revenues were reported to be very close to the projections made in the 2004 Governor's Budget in January, with some small signs of recovery in personal income tax withholding and corporate tax receipts.</R>

<R>In the 2004 May Revision, the Governor recognized that many of his earlier proposals required more analysis, and that many parties preferred to solve the budget problem over more than one year. Accordingly, the 2004 May Revision divided the $38.2 billion gap into three main components:</R>

<R>1. The Governor proposed to fund the estimated accumulated budget deficit as of June 30, 2003 of $10.7 billion with issuance of deficit retirement bonds during 2003-04, to be repaid from a dedicated one-half cent increase in the State sales tax, which would disappear once the bonds were repaid. Repayment of these bonds would be based on annual appropriations.</R>

<R>2. Once the accumulated deficit was removed from the books, the 2003-04 budget would be balanced with a combination of spending cuts, interfund loans and transfers, and some additional borrowing. A major assumption in the 2004 May Revision was that the State would terminate its payments to local governments to "backfill" the offset to vehicle license fees enacted several years ago, which costs the State $4.2 billion per year. The Administration expected that action could be taken under existing law to terminate the backfill and have the vehicle license fee paid by drivers increased back to the original level, so that local governments would not be harmed by this shift. The overall budget plan for 2003-04 called for revenues and transfers of $70.9 billion and expenditures of $70.4 billion, leaving a budget reserve of about $500 million.</R>

<R>3. The 2004 May Revision explicitly recognized that balancing the 2003-04 budget still left an ongoing "structural deficit," which would cause the 2004-05 budget to be about $7.9 billion out of balance in the absence of corrective action.</R>

<R></R>Final Budget Act Members of the Legislature and the Governor were unable to reach agreement on a budget package before the start of the fiscal year on July 1, 2003, with strong partisan disagreements about the necessary elements of spending cuts and revenue increases needed to complete the budget. Without budget authorization, a number of spending programs were suspended as of July 1, including payments to vendors for new goods and services, some aid to local governments and schools and others; however high-priority obligations such as debt service payments continued to be made.

<R>The 2003-04 Budget Act was finally passed by the Legislature and signed by the Governor on August 2, 2003. It resolved the budget gap with a combination of external borrowing, spending reductions, new revenues, funding shifts and internal loans and deferrals. It assumed a year-end budget reserve at June 30, 2004 of almost $2 billion, and also assumed the 2004-05 fiscal year budget would have at least a $7.9 billion structural deficit to be closed. The principal features of the budget were as follows:</R>

<R>1. As proposed by the Governor in the 2004 May Revision, the Legislature authorized the issuance of "fiscal recovery bonds" designed to provide an estimated $10.7 billion of cash into the General Fund, representing the accumulated deficit as of June 30, 2003. (The new Administration has subsequently estimated that because of stronger revenue results than anticipated, the June 30, 2003 budget deficit was only about $8.6 billion.) Issuance of these bonds had been delayed because of a legal challenge which was pending in court, but on March 2, 2004, voters approved Proposition 57 to authorize $15 billion of general obligation "economic recovery bonds" to replace the fiscal recovery bonds approved in July.</R>

<R>2. The budget also assumed two other external borrowings. The first was the second part of a tobacco securitization sale, postponed from spring, 2003. This sale was completed in September 2003 and produced about $2.2 billion of General Fund revenue. The second was the sale of pension obligation bonds ("POBs") to make the 2003-04 payments due to the State Public Employee's Retirement System, in the amount of about $1.9 billion. The POB sale was prevented from going ahead by an adverse court decision, which is presently being appealed, but the time needed to complete the appeal means this financing cannot occur in time to assist the 2003-04 budget.</R>

<R>3. As noted, the budget relied on substantial savings in program costs, spread across most programs. K-12 schools will receive the minimum funding required by Proposition 98, but this will result in a small decrease in per-pupil spending, to about $6,900 per pupil. Significant cuts were made in higher education support, to be offset in part by student fee increases in the range of 30%. Other fee increases will offset reductions in support for trial courts and resources programs. Health and social service costs were limited by foregoing cost of living increases and reducing Medi-Cal provider rates. State personnel costs were to be reduced by voluntary agreements to be negotiated with employee unions or layoffs.</R>

<R>4. The budget assumed receipt of about $1.8 billion in new federal funding as a result of federal law passed to assist States. The budget also assumed the $4.2 billion annual savings resulting from the increase of the vehicle license fee. Another major one-time budget action was a shift in Medi-Cal accounting to add about $930 million in 2003-04. There were no other tax or revenue increases, aside from certain fees. The Governor's realignment proposal to transfer certain health and social services programs to local governments was not enacted.</R>

<R></R>Proposed 2004-05 Governor's Budget

<R>The Proposed 2004-05 Governor's Budget (the "2005 Governor's Budget") released on January 9, 2004 by the new Schwarzenegger Administration, reported that, in the absence of corrective action to change existing policies, operating deficits of about $14 billion would be incurred for FY 2004-05. The Governor proposed about $3.9 billion of mid-year budget actions which were still under consideration by the Legislature as of March 15, 2004.</R>

<R>The original 2003-04 Budget Act estimated a budget reserve (SFEU) at June 30, 2004 of about $2 billion. The 2004 Governor's Budget revised this estimate to about $290 million, assuming enactment of the mid-year budget adjustment proposals. Some of the others major changes in the 2003-04 budget estimate include the following:</R>

<R>1. $2 billion in increased revenues from stronger economic activity.</R>

<R>2. $3 billion in additional resources from sale of the Proposition 57 economic recovery bonds, as compared to the earlier fiscal recovery bond plan. Under the current plan, the State plans to issue about $12.3 billion of economic recovery bonds by June, 2004, of which about $9.3 billion will be allocated to repayment of prior budget deficits.</R>

<R>3. Loss of revenues from sale of pension obligation bonds, and elimination of the expected receipt of revenue from renegotiating gaming compacts with Indian tribes (although these negotiations are currently ongoing).</R>

<R>4. Additional expenditures of about $2.65 billion to maintain the payment of the VLF offsets to local governments.</R>

<R>The Governor's proposed 2004-05 Budget will be subject to negotiations with the Legislature over the coming months. The major elements of the Governor's proposal include the following:</R>

<R>1. Resetting the minimum Proposition 98 funding guarantee for public schools to save about $2 billion. This will still provide an increase in funding for public schools. Additional funding cuts will be made for higher education units, to be offset by higher student fees.</R>

<R>2. Major reforms of the Medi-Cal program to reduce costs. The Governor also proposes to increase work incentives to allow reduced expenditures under the CalWORKS welfare program. The Governor proposes a wide range of reductions in health and social services programs.</R>

<R>3. Proposed reform of public pension costs, to be negotiated with employees, to reduce future costs. The Governor also proposed a $929 million pension obligation bond issuance assuming timely and successful appeal of the lawsuit which blocked the 2003 pension obligation bond issue.</R>

<R>4. Use of about $3 billion of Proposition 57 economic recovery bond proceeds.</R>

<R>5. Reduced General Fund payments to schools by transferring an additional $1.3 billion of city and county property taxes to school districts, to be a permanent shift.</R>

<R>6. Reduction of $1.1 billion by suspending planned General Fund expenditures for the Transportation Investment Fund enacted several years earlier in better fiscal times.</R>

<R>Overall, the 2004 Governor's Budget projects General Fund revenues of $76.4 billion, a decrease of $1.2 billion from revised estimates for 2003-04. Expenditures are projected at $76.1 billion, also a decrease of $1.2 billion from 2003-04. The year-end budget reserve (SFEU) is projected to be about $635 billion.</R>

<R>The Governor has implemented a California Performance Review, which will carry out a comprehensive analysis of State government. The major areas for review will include: executive branch reorganization, program performance assessment and budgeting, improved services and productivity, and acquisition reform.</R>

<R></R>Ongoing "Structural Deficit"

<R>The independent Legislative Analyst's Office ("LAO") has reported for several years that the State is facing a "structural deficit," because of a continuing imbalance between its basic level of revenues and its mandated spending levels for enacted programs. While the LAO reported in February 2004 that the 2004 Governor's Budget represented a "solid starting point for budgetary negotiations," it noted that a number of the solutions proposed by the Governor might not be realized, which could increase the budget gap by up to another $4 billion. The LAO also reported that going forward, a gap of about $7 billion would occur in FY 2005-06 and subsequent years, absent additional corrective actions to bring revenues and expenditures into balance.</R>

<R></R>Cashs Flow Requirements

<R>The State typically funds its day-to-day operating requirements of the General Fund from revenue receipts, interfund borrowing from special funds, and external borrowing in the form of revenue anticipation notes ("RANs"), which fund annual cash flow requirements and are repaid within the same fiscal year, and revenue anticipation warrants ("RAWs") which are issued only when it is necessary to bridge a budgetary deficit over the end of a fiscal year. The State's ongoing revenue shortfalls and budget deficits incurred in the last three fiscal years, along with certain unique factors associated with the State's energy crisis in 2001, placed severe pressure on the State's cash resources, and required an unprecedented amount of short-term cash flow borrowing. </R>

<R>The State sold a record $12.5 billion of RANs in October 2002, due in June 2003, to cover its cash flow needs. By mid-winter 2003 it became evident that the State would have a cash shortfall by the end of June 2003, when the $12.5 billion RANs came due. Accordingly, the State issued $11 billion of RAWs, also a record, on June 18, 2003 to pay the RANs and other obligations coming due in June 2003, and to cover cash flow requirements through late August. To sell these RAWs, the State was required to obtain credit support from a group of financial institutions. The State issued $3 billion of RANs in October 2003 to fund the remainder of its cash management needs for FY2003-04. For the first time, the entire State RAN issue was supported by external bank credit. The RAWs mature on June 16, 2004 and the RANs mature on June 23, 2004.</R>

<R>The State anticipates that it will repay the RAWs and RANs in June 2004 with a combination of current revenues and proceeds of the Proposition 57 economic recovery bonds. If for any reason this sale cannot be accomplished, the RAWs and RANs will all be paid by drawing on available credit support instruments, but such an action will require the State to immediately divert all revenues (after payment of constitutionally mandated Priority Payments, such as school funding and general obligation bond debt service) to start repaying the financial institutions. This would severely restrict the State's ongoing cash management process. Until the State brings the "structural imbalance" between its revenue sources and spending obligations into balance, it may continue to depend on having access to the public debt markets in order to fund its ongoing cash obligations and to repay cash flow borrowings.</R>

Bond Ratings

<R>The ratings on California's long-term general obligation bonds were reduced in the early 1990's from "AAA" levels which had existed prior to the recession. After 1996, through the end of 2000, the three major rating agencies raised their ratings of California's general obligation bonds as high as "AA" from Standard & Poor's, "Aa2" from Moody's and "AA" from Fitch. Starting in December 2002, as the State's budget and cash condition worsened, all three rating agencies reduced the ratings of California's general obligation bonds. As of March 1, 2004, Standard & Poor's had reduced California's senior ratings to "BBB," Fitch had reduced the ratings to "BBB" and Moody's had reduced its ratings to "Baa2." Fitch maintained the State's credit ratings on watch with negative implications. S&P considers the State's rating outlook as "positive." The State anticipates that the upcoming sale of economic recovery bonds will bear higher ratings than the regular general obligations bonds, because of the additional pledge of a dedicated stream of sales tax revenues.</R>

There can be no assurance that current ratings will be maintained in the future. It should be noted that the creditworthiness of obligations issued by local California issuers may be unrelated to creditworthiness of obligations issued by the State of California, and that there is no obligation on the part of the State to make payment on such local obligations in the event of default.

Legal Proceedings

The State is involved in certain legal proceedings (described in the State's recent financial statements) that, if decided against the State, may require the State to make significant future expenditures or may substantially impair revenues. If the State eventually loses any of these cases, the final remedies may not have to be implemented in one year.

Obligations of Other Issuers

Other Issuers of California Municipal Obligations. There are a number of State agencies, instrumentalities and political subdivisions of the State that issue Municipal Obligations, some of which may be conduit revenue obligations payable from payments from private borrowers. These entities are subject to various economic risks and uncertainties, and the credit quality of the securities issued by them may vary considerably from the credit quality of obligations backed by the full faith and credit of the State.

<R>State Assistance. Property tax revenues received by local governments declined more than 50% following passage of Proposition 13. Subsequently, the California Legislature enacted measures to provide for the redistribution of the State's General Fund surplus to local agencies, the reallocation of certain State revenues to local agencies and the assumption of certain governmental functions by the State to assist municipal issuers to raise revenues. Total local assistance from the State's General Fund was budgeted at approximately 75% of General Fund expenditures in recent years, including the effect of implementing reductions in certain aid programs. To reduce State General Fund support for school districts, the 1992-93 and 1993-94 Budget Acts caused local governments to transfer $3.9 billion of property tax revenues to school districts, representing loss of the post-Proposition 13 "bailout" aid. Local governments have in return received greater revenues and greater flexibility to operate health and welfare programs. The Governor has proposed a further $1.3 billion annual property tax shift for 2004-05 and subsequent years.</R>

In 1997, a new program provided for the State to substantially take over funding for local trial courts (saving cities and counties some $400 million annually). In recent years, the State has provided over $350 million to support local law enforcement costs. The current fiscal crisis may result in some reductions in these payments in <R>2003-04 </R>and beyond.

<R>To the extent the State should be constrained by its Article XIIIB appropriations limit, or its obligation to conform to Proposition 98, or other fiscal considerations, the absolute level, or the rate of growth, of State assistance to local governments may continue to be reduced. Any such reductions in State aid could compound the serious fiscal constraints already experienced by many local governments, particularly counties. The recent economic slowdown in the State, with its corresponding reduction in State and local revenues, will put additional pressure on local government finances in the coming years. See "Recent Financial Results - Continuing Budget Shortfall" and "---Fiscal Year 2004-05 Budget."</R>

<R>Counties and cities may face further budgetary pressures as a result of changes in welfare and public assistance programs, which were enacted in August, 1997 in order to comply with the federal welfare reform law. Generally, counties play a large role in the new system, and are given substantial flexibility to develop and administer programs to bring aid recipients into the workforce. Counties are also given financial incentives if either at the county or statewide level, the "Welfare-to-Work" programs exceed minimum targets; counties are also subject to financial penalties for failure to meet such targets. Counties remain responsible to provide "general assistance" for able-bodied indigents who are ineligible for other welfare programs. The long-term financial impact of the new CalWORKs system on local governments is still unknown. </R>

<R>Local governments are facing substantial increases in future pension liabilities and health care costs for retirees, and increases in current contribution rates, as a result of (a) generous new retirements benefits granted to employees during recent economic boom times, and (b) reduced earnings resulting from the stock market declines during the 2000-2003 period. </R>

Assessment Bonds. California Municipal Obligations which are assessment bonds may be adversely affected by a general decline in real estate values or a slowdown in real estate sales activity. In many cases, such bonds are secured by land which is undeveloped at the time of issuance but anticipated to be developed within a few years after issuance. In the event of such reduction or slowdown, such development may not occur or may be delayed, thereby increasing the risk of a default on the bonds. Because the special assessments or taxes securing these bonds are not the personal liability of the owners of the property assessed, the lien on the property is the only security for the bonds. Moreover, in most cases the issuer of these bonds is not required to make payments on the bonds in the event of delinquency in the payment of assessments or taxes, except from amounts, if any, in a reserve fund established for the bonds.

California Long Term Lease Obligations. Based on a series of court decisions, certain long-term lease obligations, though typically payable from the general fund of the State or a municipality, are not considered "indebtedness" requiring voter approval. Such leases, however, are subject to "abatement" in the event the facility being leased is unavailable for beneficial use and occupancy by the municipality during the term of the lease. Abatement is not a default, and there may be no remedies available to the holders of the certificates evidencing the lease obligation in the event abatement occurs. The most common cases of abatement are failure to complete construction of the facility before the end of the period during which lease payments have been capitalized and uninsured casualty losses to the facility (e.g., due to earthquake). In the event abatement occurs with respect to a lease obligation, lease payments may be interrupted (if all available insurance proceeds and reserves are exhausted) and the certificates may not be paid when due. Although litigation is brought from time to time which challenges the constitutionality of such lease arrangements, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling in August, 1998 which reconfirmed the legality of these financing methods.

Other Considerations

The repayment of industrial development securities secured by real property may be affected by California laws limiting foreclosure rights of creditors. Securities backed by health care and hospital revenues may be affected by changes in State regulations governing cost reimbursements to health care providers under Medi-Cal (the State's Medicaid program), including risks related to the policy of awarding exclusive contracts to certain hospitals.

Limitations on ad valorem property taxes may particularly affect "tax allocation" bonds issued by California redevelopment agencies. Such bonds are secured solely by the increase in assessed valuation of a redevelopment project area after the start of redevelopment activity. In the event that assessed values in the redevelopment project decline (e.g., because of a major natural disaster such as an earthquake), the tax increment revenue may be insufficient to make principal and interest payments on these bonds. Both Moody's and S&P suspended ratings on California tax allocation bonds after the enactment of Articles XIIIA and XIIIB, and only resumed such ratings on a selective basis.

Proposition 87, approved by California voters in 1988, requires that all revenues produced by a tax rate increase go directly to the taxing entity which increased such tax rate to repay that entity's general obligation indebtedness. As a result, redevelopment agencies (which, typically, are the issuers of tax allocation securities) no longer receive an increase in tax increment when taxes on property in the project area are increased to repay voter-approved bonded indebtedness.

The effect of these various constitutional and statutory changes upon the ability of California municipal securities issuers to pay interest and principal on their obligations remains unclear. Furthermore, other measures affecting the taxing or spending authority of California or its political subdivisions may be approved or enacted in the future. Legislation has been or may be introduced which would modify existing taxes or other revenue-raising measures or which either would further limit or, alternatively, would increase the abilities of state and local governments to impose new taxes or increase existing taxes. It is not possible, at present, to predict the extent to which any such legislation will be enacted. Nor is it possible, at present, to determine the impact of any such legislation on California Municipal Obligations in which the Fund may invest, future allocations of state revenues to local governments or the abilities of state or local governments to pay the interest on, or repay the principal of, such California Municipal Obligations.

Substantially all of California is within an active geologic region subject to major seismic activity. Northern California in 1989 and Southern California in 1994 experienced major earthquakes causing billions of dollars in damages. The federal government provided more than $13 billion in aid for both earthquakes, and neither event has had any long-term negative economic impact. Any California Municipal Obligation in the Fund could be affected by an interruption of revenues because of damaged facilities, or, consequently, income tax deductions for casualty losses or property tax assessment reductions. Compensatory financial assistance could be constrained by the inability of (i) an issuer to have obtained earthquake insurance coverage rates; (ii) an insurer to perform on its contracts of insurance in the event of widespread losses; or (iii) the federal or State government to appropriate sufficient funds within their respective budget limitations.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING PUERTO RICO

The following highlights some of the more significant financial trends and problems affecting the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the "Commonwealth" or "Puerto Rico"), and is based on information drawn from official statements and prospectuses relating to the securities offerings of Puerto Rico, its agencies, and instrumentalities, as available on the date of this SAI. FMR has not independently verified any of the information contained in such official statements, prospectuses, and other publicly available documents, but is not aware of any fact which would render such information materially inaccurate.

<R>Puerto Rico enjoyed almost two decades of economic expansion through fiscal year 2001. Almost every sector of the economy participated, and record levels of employment were achieved. Factors behind this expansion included government-sponsored economic development programs, increases in the level of federal transfers, a significant expansion in construction investment driven by infrastructure projects and private investment, primarily in housing, the relatively low cost of borrowing funds, and low oil prices. As a result, personal income, both aggregate and per capita, increased consistently each fiscal year from 1985 to 2002. In fiscal year 2002, aggregate personal income was $42.6 billion ($38.0 billion in 1996 prices) and personal per capita income was $11,069 ($9,861 in 1996 prices). Personal income includes transfer payments to individuals in Puerto Rico under various social programs. Total federal payments to Puerto Rico, which include transfers to local government entities and expenditures of federal agencies in Puerto Rico, in addition to federal transfer payments to individuals, are lower on a per capita basis in Puerto Rico than in any state. Transfer payments to individuals in fiscal year 2002 were $8.9 billion, of which $6.8 billion, or 75.8%, represented entitlements to individuals who had previously performed services or made contributions under programs such as Social Security, Veteran's Benefits, Medicare, and U.S. Civil Service retirement pensions. Total average employment has also increased. For example, from fiscal year 1998 to fiscal year 2002, average employment increased from 1,137,000 to 1,169,600.</R>

<R>The dominant sectors of the Puerto Rico economy are manufacturing and services. The manufacturing sector has undergone fundamental changes over the years as a result of increased emphasis on higher wage, high technology industries, such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, computers, microprocessors, professional and scientific instruments and certain high technology machinery and equipment. The services sector, including finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade and tourism, also plays a major role in the economy. It ranks second only to manufacturing in contribution to the gross domestic product and leads all sectors in providing employment.</R>

<R>The economy of Puerto Rico is closely linked with that of the United States. Factors affecting the United States economy usually have a significant impact on the performance of the Puerto Rico economy. Consequently, the recent economic downturn in the United States had an adverse impact on the Puerto Rico economy. In fiscal year 2002 (July 2001 through June 2002), trade with the U.S. accounted for approximately 89% of Puerto Rico's exports and approximately 50% of its imports. In this regard, in fiscal year 2002 Puerto Rico experienced an $18.2 billion positive merchandise trade balance.</R>

<R>Preliminary reports of the performance of the Puerto Rico economy during fiscal year 2002 indicate that the economy registered a decline of 0.2% in real gross product. Gross product in fiscal year 2002 was $45.2 billion ($35.2 billion in 1996 prices), compared to $44.2 billion in fiscal 2001 (35.3 billion in 1996 prices). This represents an increase in nominal gross product of 2.3% from fiscal year 1998 to 2002, but a decrease of 0.2% in 1996 prices. Aggregate personal income increased from $41.5 billion in fiscal 2001 ($37.2 billion in 1996 prices) to $42.6 billion in fiscal year 2002 ($38 billion in 1996 prices), and personal income per capita increased from $10,816 in fiscal year 2001 ($9,713 in 1996 prices) to $11,069 in fiscal year 2002 ($9,861 in 1996 prices). According to the Department of Labor and Human Resources Household Employment Survey, total monthly employment averaged 1,169,600 in fiscal year 2002 compared to 1,158,000 in fiscal 2001, an increase of 1%. However, notwithstanding this increase in average monthly employment, due to a higher labor participation rate and a significant increase in the civilian population aged 16 years and over, the unemployment rate increased from 10.45% during fiscal year 2001 to 12% during fiscal year 2002.</R>

<R>Macroeconomic figures for fiscal year 2003 will not be available until December 2003. The Planning Board's real gross product forecast for fiscal year 2003, made in February 2003, projects an increase of 1.7%. According to the Department of Labor and Human Resources Household Employment Survey, during fiscal year 2003, total monthly employment averaged 1,210,800, compared to 1,169,600 in fiscal year 2002, an increase of 3.5 %. Notwithstanding this increase in average monthly employment, for the reasons mentioned above the unemployment rate increased slightly from 12% during fiscal year 2002 to 12.1% during fiscal year 2003.</R>

<R>The Planning Board's current real gross product forecast for fiscal year 2004, released in February 2003, projects an increase of 2.5%. Seasonally adjusted total employment for July 2003, the most recent month for which employment data is available, was 1,231,000, and increase of 4.0% compared to July 2002. The seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for July 2003 was 12.5%. As in the past, the economy of Puerto Rico is expected to follow the performance of the United States economy. Construction activity is expected to be the driving force of for economic growth in the short to medium-term. For fiscal year 2004 public construction investment is expected to reach approximately $4.0 billion.</R>

<R></R>Economic Development Program for Private Sector.

<R>The Commonwealth's economic development program for the private sector is based on the following four initiatives: (i) the enactment of laws in Puerto Rico providing tax benefits that will promote foreign investment and increased economic activity; (ii) the acceleration and simplification of the local permitting process; (iii) the reduction of the costs of doing business in Puerto Rico; and, (iv) the amendment of Section 956 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") to incorporate new Federal income tax benefits that enhance the attractiveness of establishing operations in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R></R>Puerto Rico Legislation.

One of the benefits enjoyed by the Commonwealth is that corporations operating in Puerto Rico (other than corporations organized in the United States) and individuals residing in Puerto Rico generally are not subject to Federal income taxes. This enables the Commonwealth to utilize local tax legislation as a tool for stimulating economic development in Puerto Rico. See "Tax Incentives" below.

<R>In this regard, the Commonwealth has enacted legislation extending certain benefits of its most recent tax incentive law, Act No. 135 of December 2, 1997 (the "1998 Tax Incentives Act"), to all eligible business operating under previous tax incentives laws. These benefits include 200% deductions for research and development expenses; worker training; the ability to deduct, as a current expense, investments in machinery and equipment; and the ability to claim a tax credit equal to 25% of the purchase price of a product manufactured in the Puerto Rico (in excess of a base amount) or 35% of the purchase price of a locally manufactured recycled product.</R>

The 1998 Tax Incentives Act was also amended to allow a credit against the Puerto Rico income tax liability of investors that acquire the majority of the stock, partnership interests or operational assets of an exempted business that is in the process of closing operations in Puerto Rico. A credit against the Puerto Rico income tax liability is also provided to investors that contribute cash to such exempted business for the construction or improvement of its physical facilities and the purchase of machinery and equipment. The amount of the credit is equal to 50% of the cash invested for such purposes.

<R>The Commonwealth has also recently enacted legislation which (i) reduces the capital gains tax from 20% to 10% in the case of individuals and estates and trusts, and from 25% to 12.5% in the case of corporations and partnerships organized under the laws of Puerto Rico or engaged in trade or business in Puerto Rico, for gains from the sale of eligible Puerto Rico investments; and, (ii) allows income tax credits for extraordinary investment in housing infrastructure. In addition, legislation was recently enacted that reduces the tax payable on certain qualifying debt obligations issued by Puerto Rico corporations and certain qualifying foreign corporations and paid to resident individuals, trusts and estates to 10% under certain circumstances.</R>

<R>In addition, legislation has been enacted: (i) amending the 1998 Tax Incentives Act to provide special income tax rates ranging from 0% to 2% to companies that establish operations in Puerto Rico in "core pioneer industries" which utilize innovative technology not previously used in Puerto Rico; (ii) granting tax credits with respect to eligible investments made in the construction or substantial rehabilitation of housing units to be rented to low income families; (iii) reducing to 7% the capital gains rate applicable to gains realized on the sale of shares of stock of Puerto Rico corporations sold in an initial public offering made prior to December 31, 2007 or acquired in public offerings made prior to December 31, 2007; (iv) granting income tax exemption to the fees received by financial institutions in connection with loans or guarantees of loan made to finance tourism development projects; (v) granting exemption to qualified associations administering timesharing rights or vacation clubs and to owners' associations of areas designated as tourism enhancement districts; (vi) granting income tax exemption for financial institutions for charges collected on obligations issued for the financing of tourism projects; (vii) granting tax exemption for the investments in infrastructure made by housing developers; (viii) granting tax credits to Puerto Rico businesses that acquire products manufactured in Puerto Rico for exportation; and (ix) rehabilitating urban centers through the development of housing projects, community areas, commercial areas, parks and recreational spaces, construction and renovation of structures and the development of bare or under-developed sites.</R>

<R></R>Acceleration and Simplification of Local Permitting Process. Another government initiative to promote economic activity is to simplify the regulatory process for obtaining government permits in order to accelerate the granting of permits and reduce the costs of the permitting process. As part of this initiative, the Commonwealth has established a multi-agency center that will handle in a coordinated way the permitting process and allows the filing of a single application for all government permits required for a project. Furthermore, the government has also developed a procedure that will allow agencies to conduct simultaneous public hearings in those instances when two or more agencies require them.

<R></R>Reduction of the Costs of Doing Business. The Commonwealth believes that to make Puerto Rico more competitive and foster investment, it needs to reduce the cost of doing business in Puerto Rico. As part of this initiative, Puerto Rico Industrial Development Company ("PRIDCO") is conducting a thorough evaluation of the cost of doing business in Puerto Rico in order to develop new proposals to reduce such costs.

<R>One of the costs of doing business in Puerto Rico that is high, particularly for the manufacturing industry, relative to competing jurisdictions, is the cost of electricity. Puerto Rico is heavily dependent on oil imports for the production of electricity. As a result of the construction of two cogeneration plants, however, one of which is fueled by liquefied natural gas and the other by coal, Puerto Rico's dependence on oil imports for the production of electricity has been reduced from 99% to 72%. PREPA now estimates that these plants could provide up to 33% of its electric energy requirements. In addition, PREPA has commenced a hedging program with respect to a portion (about 8%) of its oil supplies to lessen the impact of the volatility of oil prices on the cost of electricity.</R>

<R></R>Federal Legislative Proposals. In order to enhance the attractiveness for United States companies of establishing operations in Puerto Rico, the Commonwealth government is seeking to amend Section 956 of the Code to provide for a new and permanent tax regime applicable to U.S. based businesses that have operations in the Commonwealth or other U.S. possessions. This proposed regime is based on the tax rules generally applied to U.S. corporations with international operations, but with certain modifications intended to promote employment in both the Commonwealth and the United States.

<R>The number of persons employed in Puerto Rico during fiscal year 2003 averaged 1,212,000. Unemployment, although at relatively low historical levels, remains above the United States average. The average unemployment rate decreased from 13.6% in fiscal year 1998 to 12.1% in fiscal year 2003.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico has a diversified economy. During the period between fiscal year 1998 and 2002, the manufacturing and services sectors generated the largest portion of gross domestic product. Three sectors of the economy provide the most employment: manufacturing, services, and government.</R>

<R>Manufacturing is the largest sector of the Puerto Rico economy in terms of gross domestic product. The Planning Board estimates that in fiscal year 2002 manufacturing generated $30.0 billion or 42.2% of gross domestic product. During fiscal year 2003 payroll employment for the manufacturing sector was 118,400 a decrease of 2.6% compared with 2002, with most of the job losses occurring in labor intensive industries. Most of the island's manufacturing output is shipped to the U.S. mainland, which is also the principal source of semi-finished manufactured articles on which further manufacturing operations are performed in Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>Manufacturing in Puerto Rico is now more diversified than during earlier phases of industrial development and includes several industries less prone to business cycles. In the last three decades, industrial development has tended to be more capital intensive and more dependent on skilled labor. This gradual shift in emphasis is best exemplified by heavy investment over the last decade in pharmaceuticals, scientific instruments, computers, and electrical products industries in Puerto Rico. One of the factors assisting the development of the manufacturing sector has been the tax incentives offered by the federal and Puerto Rico governments. Federal legislation enacted in 1996, which amended Section 936 of the United States Internal revenue Code of 1986, as amended, phases out the federal tax incentives during a ten-year period.</R>

<R>While total employment in the manufacturing sector decreased by 19,822 from March 1998 to March 2002, other indicators of the manufacturing sector suggest that manufacturing production increased. Average weekly hours worked increased 2.5% from fiscal year 1998 to fiscal year 2002. Thus, the reduction in manufacturing employment occurred during a period of significant expansion in real manufacturing output, as reflected in the growth of exports. This trend suggests a significant increase in manufacturing productivity. Most of the decreases in employment have been concentrated in the labor-intensive industries, particularly apparel, textiles, tuna canning, and leather products.</R>

<R>Puerto Rico has experienced significant growth in the services sector, which includes finance, insurance, real estate, wholesale and retail trade, tourism and other services, in terms of both income and employment, over the past decade, showing a favorable trend as compared with certain other industrialized economies. During the period between fiscal year 1998 and fiscal year 2002, the gross domestic product in this sector increased at an annual average rate of 7.1%, while employment increased at an annual average rate of 2.2%. The development of the services sector has been positively affected by demand generated by other sectors of the economy, such as manufacturing, construction, and agriculture. The services sector in Puerto Rico has a diversified base.</R>

<R>The high degree of knowledge, skills, and expertise in professional and technical services available in Puerto Rico places the island in a favorable competitive position with respect to Latin America and other trading countries throughout the world. The services sector ranks second to manufacturing in its contribution to gross domestic product, and is the sector with the greatest employment. In fiscal year 2002, services generated $27.2 billion of gross domestic product, or 38.2% of the total. Service employment grew from 444,000 in fiscal year 1998 to 484,000 in fiscal year 2002 (representing 48.4% of total employment). This represents a cumulative increase of 8.9%, which exceed the 0.9% cumulative growth in total employment over the same period. Wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, and real estate have experienced significant growth in the fiscal year 1998 to 2002 period, as measured by gross domestic product. Gross domestic product in wholesale and retail trade increased from $7.3 billion in fiscal year 1998 to $8.7 billion in fiscal year 2002. In finance, insurance, and real estate, gross domestic product increased from $7.3 billion in fiscal year 1998 to $11.3 billion in fiscal year 2002. There are sixteen commercial banks and trust companies currently operating in Puerto Rico. Total assets of these institutions as of December 31, 2002 were $90.5 billion. As of December 31, 2002, there were thirty five international banking entities operating in the Commonwealth licensed to conduct offshore banking transactions with total assets of $50.5 billion.</R>

<R>Total visitors' expenditures accounted for 5.5% of the island's gross domestic product in fiscal year 2002, compared to 3.9% in fiscal year 2001. Visitors' expenditures and the number of visitors to the island had grown consistently from 1985 to 1998. In fiscal year 1999, however, the number of visitors to the island decreased, due in part to the effect of Hurricane Georges, which struck the island in September 1998. During fiscal years 2000 and 2001, the number of visitors to the island increased to 4.6 million and 4.9 million, respectively, and visitors' expenditures increased to $2.4 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively. In fiscal year 2002, in the aftermath of the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001, the number of visitors of the island decreased to 4.4 million, visitors' expenditures decreased to $2.5 billion and the number of persons registered in tourist hotels decreased 3.4%. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2002 was 64.3% compared to 70.0% in fiscal year 2001. The average number of rooms rented in tourist hotels decreased 4.9% during fiscal year 2002 compared with fiscal year 2001.</R>

<R>During fiscal year 2003 the number of persons registered in tourist hotels was 1,734,800 an increase of 8.6% over the number registered in fiscal year 2002. The average occupancy rate in tourist hotels during fiscal year 2003 was 67.9% compared to 64.4% in fiscal year 2002. The average number of rooms available in tourist hotels increased 3.2% during fiscal year 2003 compared with fiscal year 2002, representing openings of new hotels and hotel expansions. During fiscal year 2003, hotels comprising 870 new hotel rooms have opened and, as of August 2003, several hotels, representing more than 2,000 additional rooms, are under various stages of development or construction.</R>

<R>San Juan has become the largest home port for cruise ships in the Caribbean and the fourth largest home port for cruise ships in the world.</R>

<R>The government sector of Puerto Rico plays an important role in the economy of the island. In fiscal year 2002, the government accounted for $6.3 billion of Puerto Rico's gross domestic product, or 8.9% of the total, and provided 278,000 jobs or 27.8% of the total non-farm payroll employment. Government sector employment does not include employment by public corporations, which employment is included in other sectors. These public corporations include significant employers such as the Electric Power Authority and the Aqueduct and Sewer Authority. The government's (including the central government, the public corporations, and the municipalities, but excluding the federal government) share of non-farm payroll employment, measured according to the payroll survey, has diminished from 34.9% in fiscal year 1980, to 33.6% in fiscal year 1990, to 26.4% in fiscal year 2000.</R>

<R>On February 25, 1998, legislation was enacted permitting the unionization of government employees (excluding municipal employees). Under this law, government employees are given collective bargaining rights subject to a number of limitations. Among those limitations are: employees are prohibited from striking; annual salary increases are limited; employees cannot be required to become union members and pay union dues; and collective bargaining negotiations cannot occur in an election year.</R>

<R>Thirty-four shipping lines offer regular ocean freight service to eighty United States and foreign ports. San Juan is the island's leading seaport, but there are also seaport facilities at other locations on the island including Arecibo, Culebra, Fajardo, Guayama, Guayanilla, Mayagüez, Ponce, Vieques and Yabucoa.</R>

<R>Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport is currently served by twenty-six United States and international airlines. At present, there is daily direct service between San Juan and Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York, Philadelphia and numerous other destinations within the United States. There is also regularly scheduled service between Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands and certain Latin American and European cities. A major United States airline uses San Juan as a hub for its intra-Caribbean airline service. Several smaller airports serve intra-island traffic.</R>

<R>The island's major cities are connected by a modern highway system, which, as of December 31, 2002, totaled approximately 4,589 miles. The highway system comprises 379 miles of primary system highways, 229 miles of primary urban system highways, 954 miles of secondary system highways and 3,027 miles of tertiary highways and roads.The Commonwealth is conducting a request for proposal process to select a private company to develop, construct and operate a world-class transshipment facility on the south coast of Puerto Rico, to be called the Port of the Americas. This state-of-the-art facility will handle Post-Panamax vessels with a capacity of more than 6,000 TEU's (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Unit cargo trailers). The Port of the Americas Authority, created by legislation, will select and negotiate with the developer and operator of the project. GDB has provided a $10 million line of credit earmarked for the initial environmental and feasibility studies. Construction is expected to begin in 2004, and partial operation of the Port of the Americas could begin as early as 2006.</R>

<R>The construction industry has experienced substantial real growth since fiscal year 1987. During the period from fiscal year 1998 through fiscal year 2002 construction investment increased 27.5%. The total value of construction permits increased 63.9% over the same five-year period. The strength of public investment has been an important component in the significant expansion of construction investment. During fiscal year 2002, approximately 36.7% of the total investment in construction was related to public projects. In fiscal year 2002, the average payroll employment in the construction sector was 69,243.</R>

<R>During fiscal year 2003, the total value of construction permits increased 22%, compared with the same period in fiscal year 2002. Total sales of cement, including imports, increased 1.3% during fiscal year 2003 in comparison with the same period of fiscal year 2002. The average payroll employment in the construction sector during fiscal year 2003 was 65,620, a decrease of 5.2% from fiscal year 2002.</R>

<R>For fiscal year 2004, approximately $4.0 billion is expected to be invested in public improvements. Public investment will be primarily in housing, new schools (and school reconstruction programs), water projects and other infrastructure projects to be undertaken by the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority, the Puerto Rico Convention Center District Authority, the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority ("PREPA"), the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority ("PRHTA"), the Puerto Rico Infrastructure Financing Authority, the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, the Puerto Rico Public Buildings Authority, the Puerto Rico Special Communities Perpetual Trust, and the University of Puerto Rico.</R>

<R>The Department of Agriculture and related agencies have directed their efforts at increasing and improving local agricultural production, increasing efficiency and quality of produce, and stimulating import substitution where economically feasible. During fiscal year 2002, gross income from agriculture was $724.1 million, an increase of 1.2% in comparison with fiscal year 2001. Agriculture gross income consists of the total value of production in the principal agricultural sectors, which include traditional crops, cattle products, farinaceous vegetables, fruits, and other products. Recently non-traditional crops, livestock and poultry have contributed a higher percentage of the sector's income.</R>

<R>The government of Puerto Rico supports agricultural activities through incentives, subsidies, and technical and support services, in addition to income tax exemptions for qualified income derived by bona fide farmers. Act No. 225, approved December 1, 1995, increased the tax benefits available to bona fide farmers. The Act provides a 90% income tax exemption for income derived from agricultural operations, an investment tax credit equal to 50% of the investment in qualified agricultural projects, and a 100% exemption from excise taxes, real and personal property taxes, municipal license taxes, and tariff payments. It also provides full income tax exemption for interest income from bonds, notes and other debt instruments to be issued by financial institutions to provide financing to agricultural business. Subsequent legislation imposed an aggregate annual limitation of $15 million on the investment tax credits available under Act. No. 225.</R>

<R>Policy changes have been implemented to promote employment and income generated by the agricultural sector. The policy initiatives include restructuring the Department of Agriculture, an increase in government purchases of local agricultural products, and a new system of agricultural credits and subsidies for new projects.</R>

<R>One of the factors that has promoted and continues to promote the development of the manufacturing sector in Puerto Rico has been the various local and federal tax incentives available, particularly those under Puerto Rico's Industrial Incentives Program and, until recently Sections 30A and 936 of the Code. Tax and other incentives have also been established to promote the development of the tourism industry. These incentives are summarized below.</R>

Since 1948, Puerto Rico has had various industrial incentive laws designed to stimulate industrial investment in the island. Under these laws, companies engaged in manufacturing and certain other designated activities were eligible to receive full or partial exemption from income, property, and other local taxes. The most recent of these industrial incentives laws is the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, a new industrial incentives law aimed at attracting and retaining foreign investment in Puerto Rico.

<R>The benefits provided by the 1998 Tax Incentives Act are available to new companies as well as companies currently conducting tax-exempt operations in Puerto Rico that choose to renegotiate their existing tax exemption grant. Activities eligible for tax exemption include manufacturing, certain designated services performed for markets outside Puerto Rico, the production of energy from local renewable sources for consumption in Puerto Rico, and laboratories for scientific and industrial research. For companies qualifying thereunder, the 1998 Tax Incentives Act imposes income tax rates ranging from 2% to 7% for periods ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition, it grants 90% exemption from property taxes, 100% exemption from municipal license taxes during the first eighteen months of operation and between 80% and 60% thereafter, and 100% exemption from municipal excise taxes. The 1998 Tax Incentives Act also provides various special deductions designated to stimulate employment and productivity, research and development, and capital investment in Puerto Rico.</R>

Under the 1998 Tax Incentives Act, companies are able to repatriate or distribute their profits free of Puerto Rico dividend taxes. In addition, passive income derived from the investment of eligible funds in Puerto Rico's financial institutions, obligations of the government of Puerto Rico, and other designated investments are fully exempt from income and municipal license taxes. Individual shareholders of an exempted business are allowed a credit against their Puerto Rico income taxes equal to 30% of their proportionate share in the exempted business' income tax liability. Gain from the sale or exchange of shares of an exempted business by its shareholders during the exemption period is subject to a 4% income tax rate.

<R>For many years Puerto Rico has also had incentives laws designed to stimulate investment in hotel operations on the island. The most recent of these laws, the Tourism Incentives Act of 1993, provides exemptions from income, property, and municipal license taxes for a period of up to 10 years. The Tourism Incentives Act also provides certain tax credits for qualifying investments in hotel development projects. Recently enacted legislation provides further tourism incentives by granting certain tax exemptions on interest income received from permanent or interim financing of tourism development projects and fees derived from credit enhancements provided to the financing of such projects.</R>

<R>As part of the incentives to promote the tourism industry, the Commonwealth established the Tourism Development Fund as a subsidiary of GDB with the authority to (i) make investments in or provide financing to entities that contribute to the development of the tourism industry and (ii) provide financial guarantees for financing hotel development projects. To date the Fund has provided financial guarantees to private entities issuing bonds or borrowing funds to finance the development of fifteen hotel projects representing approximately 3,600 new hotel rooms.</R>

<R>U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico have been subject to special tax provisions since the Revenue Act of 1921. Prior to the Tax Reform Act of 1976, under Section 931 of the Code, U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico (and meeting certain source of income tests) were taxed only on income arising from sources within the United States. The Tax Report Act of 1976 created Section 936 of the Code, which revised the tax treatment of U.S. corporations operating in Puerto Rico by taxing such corporations on their worldwide income in a manner similar to that applicable to any other U.S. corporation but providing such corporations a full credit for the federal tax on their business and qualified investment income in Puerto Rico. The credit provided an effective 100% federal tax exemption for operating and qualifying investment income from Puerto Rico sources. As a result of additional amendments made in 1996 (the "1996 Amendments"), as described below, the tax credit is now being phased out over a ten-year period for companies that were operating in Puerto Rico in 1995 and is no longer available for corporations that establish operations in Puerto Rico after October 13, 1995 (including existing Section 936 Corporations (as defined below) to the extent substantially new operations are established in Puerto Rico). The 1996 Amendments eliminated the credit previously available for income derived from certain qualified investments in Puerto Rico. The Section 30A Credit and the remaining Section 936 credit are discussed below.</R>

<R>Section 30A. The 1996 Amendments added a new Section 30A to the Code. Section 30A permits a "qualifying domestic corporation" ("QDC") that meets certain gross income tests (which are similar to the 80% and 75% gross income tests of Section 936 of the Code discussed below) to claim a credit (the "Section 30A Credit") against the federal income tax imposed on taxable income derived from sources outside the U.S. from the active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico or from the sale of substantially all the assets used in such business ("possession income"). The Section 30A Credit will not be available for taxable years commencing after 2005.</R>

A QDC is a U.S. corporation which: (i) was actively conducting a trade or business in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995; (ii) had a Section 936 election in effect for its taxable year that included October 13, 1995; (iii) does not have in effect an election to use the percentage limitation of Section 936(a)(4)(B) of the Code; and (iv) does not add a "substantial new line of business."

<R>The Section 30A Credit is limited to the sum of: (i) 60% of qualified possession wages as defined in the Code, which includes wages up to 85% of the maximum earnings subject to the OASDI portion of Social Security taxes plus an allowance for fringe benefits of 15% of qualified possession wages; (ii) a specified percentage of depreciation deductions ranging between 15% and 65%, based on the class life of tangible property; and (iii) a portion of Puerto Rico income taxes paid by the QDC, up to a 9% effective tax rate (but only if the QDC does not elect the profit-split method for allocating income from intangible property).</R>

<R>In the case of taxable years beginning after December 31, 2001, the amount of possession income that would qualify for the Section 30A Credit would be subject to a cap based on the QDC's possession income for an average adjusted base period ending before October 14, 1995 (the "income cap").</R>

<R>Section 936. Under Section 936 of the Code, as amended by the 1996 Amendments, U.S. corporations that meet certain requirements and elect its application ("Section 936 Corporations") are entitled to credit against their U.S. corporate income tax, the portion of such tax attributable to income derived from the active conduct of a trade or business within Puerto Rico ("active business income") and from the sale or exchange of substantially all assets used in the active conduct of such trade or business.</R>

<R>Under Section 936, a Section 936 Corporation may elect to compute its active business income, eligible for the Section 936 credit, under one of three formulas: (i) a cost-sharing formula, whereby it is allowed to claim all profits attributable to manufacturing intangibles and other functions carried out in Puerto Rico provided it makes a cost sharing payment in the amount required under section 936; (ii) a profit-split formula, whereby it is allowed to claim 50% of the combined net income of its affiliated group from the sale of products manufactured in Puerto Rico; or (iii) a cost-plus formula, whereby it is allowed to claim a reasonable profit on the manufacturing costs incurred in Puerto Rico. The Section 936 credit is now only available to companies that were operating in Puerto Rico on October 13, 1995, and had elected the percentage of income credit provided by Section 936. Such percentage of income credit is equal to 40% of the federal income tax otherwise imposable on the Puerto Rico active business income or derived from the sale or exchange of substantially all assets used in such business.</R>

In the case of taxable years beginning on or after 1998, the possession income subject to the Section 936 credit will be subject to a cap based on the Section 936 Corporation's possession income for an average adjusted base period ending on October 14, 1995. The Section 936 credit is eliminated for taxable years commencing after 2005.

<R>Because of the credit limitations and impending phase-out, a large number of firms previously operating under the provisions of Sections 936 and 30A have restructured their operations in Puerto Rico, in whole or in part, to become controlled foreign corporations ("CFCs"). A CFCs is a corporation which is organized outside the United States and is controlled by United States shareholders. In general, a CFCs may defer the payment of federal income taxes on its trade or business income until such income is repatriated to the United States in the form of dividends or through investments in certain United States properties. The Puerto Rico Office of Tax Exemption has received notification of over eighty corporations that have converted part or all of their operations under Puerto Rico tax incentives laws to CFCs. These corporations include most of the major pharmaceutical, instrument, and electronics companies manufacturing in Puerto Rico.</R>

CFCs operate under transfer pricing rules for intangible income that are different from those of Sections 936 and 30A corporations. In many cases, they are allowed to attribute a large share of this income to their Puerto Rico operation, but must make a royalty payment "commensurate with income" to their U.S. affiliates. Section 936 companies were exempted from Puerto Rico withholding taxes on any cost sharing payments they might have opted to make, but CFCs are subject to a 10% Puerto Rico withholding tax on royalty payments. The recent increase in Puerto Rico revenues attributable to withholding taxes on royalty payments suggests that a significant share of the net income previously reported by corporations operating under the profit split method of Section 936 has been transferred to CFCs.

<R>One of the elements of the Commonwealth's new economic development plan involves amending the Code to provide a new tax regime applicable to U.S.-based businesses that have operations in Puerto Rico or other United States possessions. A proposal to amend the Code in this regard put forth by the Governor of Puerto Rico would amend the Code as follows: (i) Sections 30A and 936 would be allowed to expire according to their terms; (ii) Section 956 would be amended to exclude from current U.S. tax 90% of the otherwise taxable investments in certain U.S. property made by a "Qualified CFC" out of its "Qualified Income"; (iii) as an alternative to the Section 956 exclusion, Section 245 would be amended to allow an 85% dividends received deduction with respect to dividends paid out of Qualified Income by the Qualified CFC; and (iv) the investments in U.S. properties by the Qualified CFC out of its Qualified Income will not be subject to the imputation of interest nor to treatment as a constructive dividend.</R>

<R>A "Qualified Possession CFC" would be defined under the Code as a controlled foreign corporation, incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth or a United States possession. "Qualified Income" would be limited to that portion of the CFC's foreign source income that is derived from the active conduct by the CFC of a trade or business in Puerto Rico (or a possession of the United States) or from the sale or exchange of substantially all the assets used by the CFC in the active conduct of such a trade or business. The proposed Section 956 exclusion would be applicable only to income that is eligible for deferral under general U.S. tax principles. Thus, for example, passive income received by the CFC could not be converted from income that is currently taxable under Subpart F of the Code into income eligible for deferral by the investment of such amounts in U.S. property pursuant to the proposed amendment to Section 956.</R>

<R>It is not possible at this time to determine whether the proposal will be enacted into law or whatever amendments, if any, may be made to it.</R>

<R>Public sector debt comprises bonds and notes of the Commonwealth, its municipalities, and public corporations. The Constitution of the Commonwealth limits the amount of general obligation (full faith and credit) debt that can be issued or guaranteed by the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth's policy has been and continues to be to maintain the amount of such debt prudently below the constitutional limitation. Direct debt of the Commonwealth is supported by Commonwealth taxes. Debt of municipalities, other than bond anticipation notes, is supported by real and personal property taxes, and municipal license taxes. Debt of public corporations, other than bond anticipation notes, is generally supported by the revenues of such corporations from rates charged for services or products. However, certain debt of public corporations is supported, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by Commonwealth appropriations or taxes. In each case, Government Development Bank, as fiscal agent of the Commonwealth and its municipalities and public corporations, must approve the specific terms of each issuance. At June 30, 2003, the Commonwealth had direct debt of $6,886,176,000; municipal debt of $1,995,145,000; and public corporation debt of $21,939,880,000 of which $614,218,000 is guaranteed by the Commonwealth and $14,449,840,000 is supported by Commonwealth appropriations or taxes.</R>

<R>The total public sector debt at June 30, 2003 does not take into account the issuance after such date of certain general purpose revenue bonds, refunding revenue bonds, public improvements bonds, tax revenue anticipation notes, special obligations bonds and capital fund program bonds, by the Commonwealth and public corporations in the principal aggregate amount of $2,833,375,159, principal repayments and redemptions, and additional borrowings under lines of credit provided by GDB. Excluded from the total public sector debt is debt not primarily payable from either Commonwealth or municipal taxes, Commonwealth appropriations or rates charged by public corporations for services or products. Also excluded from the total public sector debt is debt issued by GDB and its affiliates to purchase certain Commonwealth public sector debt and to finance the purchase of bonds of Puerto Rico municipalities, respectively, the inclusion of which would reflect double counting.</R>

<R>During fiscal years 1999 and 2000 public sector debt increased 1.6% and 5.0% respectively, while gross product of Puerto Rico increased 9.0% and 8.2% respectively for such years. During fiscal years 2001 and 2002 public sector debt increased by 10.4% and 10.5% respectively, compared to a 6.7% and 2.3% increase respectively in gross product of Puerto Rico for such years.</R>

<R>As of June 30, 2003, outstanding short-term debt, relative to total debt, was 5.2%.</R>

Public employees of the government of Puerto Rico and its instrumentalities are covered by five retirement systems: The Employees Retirements System of the Government of Puerto Rico and its Instrumentalities (the "Employees Retirement System"), the Annuity and Pension System for the Teachers of Puerto Rico (the "Teachers Retirement System"), the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico Judiciary Retirement System (the "Judiciary Retirement System"), the Retirement System of the University of Puerto Rico (the "University Retirement System"), and the Employees Retirement System of Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (the "Electric Power Authority Retirement System").

<R>The University Retirement System and the Electric Power Authority Retirement System apply to employees of the University of Puerto Rico and Electric Power Authority, respectively. The government of Puerto Rico is not required to contribute directly to those two systems, although a large portion of University revenues is derived from legislative appropriations.</R>

<R>The Teachers Retirement System covers primarily public school teachers, the Judiciary Retirement System covers judges, and the Employees Retirement System covers all other employees of the government of Puerto Rico, its municipalities and instrumentalities. As of June 30, 2001, the total number of active members of the three systems was as follows: Employees Retirement System, 156,009; Teachers Retirement System, 46,640, and Judiciary Retirement System, 357. The three systems are financed by contributions made by employers (the government of Puerto Rico, public corporations, or municipalities), employees, and investment income. The government is responsible for approximately 67% of total employer contributions to the Employees Retirement System, and the other 33% is the responsibility of public corporations and municipalities. The government of Puerto Rico is also responsible for 100% and 99% of total employer contributions to the Judiciary and Teachers Retirement Systems, respectively. Retirement and related benefits provided by the systems and required contributions to the systems by employees are determined by statute. Required contributions to the systems by employers are determined by statute with respect to the Teachers Retirement System and, with respect to the Employees and Judiciary Retirement Systems, by the Administrators of the Systems.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2001, the total pension benefit obligation for the Employees Retirement System and the Judiciary Retirement System was $9,881,481,000 and $162,186,168, respectively. The unfunded pension benefit obligation of the Employees Retirement System and Judiciary Retirement System for the same period was $7,452,817,000 and $92,103,168, respectively representing a funding ratio of 25% and 43%, respectively. This funding ratio does not take into account the recent significant decline in the equities market and the resulting reduction in the value of the equity portfolio.</R>

<R>The most recent actuarial valuation was completed in accordance with the "Projected Unit Credit" method. An investment return of 8.5% per year, a salary increase of 5% per year, and a post-retirement benefit increase of 3% every third year were assumed. In the case of Employees Retirement Systems, Act No. 10 of May 21, 1992 provided three benefit increases of 3% each. The first 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of that date. The second 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of January 1, 1995. This increase is being financed by additional contributions from the employers. The third 3% increase was granted to retirees who had been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of January 1, 1998. This third increase is being partially funded with additional contributions from some of the employers. On June 13, 2001, the Legislature approved a law providing another 3% increase, effective as of January 1, 2001, in post-retirement annuity payments granted on or prior to January 1, 1998. Subsequent increase will depend upon the explicit approval of the System's Board of Trustees and the Legislature of Puerto Rico. In the case of the Judiciary Retirement System, Act No. 41 of June 13, 2001 provides a 3% increase in annuity payments, commencing on January 1, 2002 and every three years thereafter, to retirees who have been receiving their annuities for three or more years as of that date.</R>

<R>On February 1, 1990, the Legislature of Puerto Rico enacted Act No. 1 amending the organic act of the Employees Retirement System to reduce the future pension liabilities of the Employees Retirement System. Among other provisions, the legislation increased the level of contribution to the System and limited the retirement benefits for new employees by increasing the length of time for the vesting of certain benefits and reducing the level of benefits in the case of early retirement. The legislation also reduced the level of occupational disability benefits and death benefits received by new employees.</R>

Also, Act No. 305 of September 24, 1999, further amended the organic act of the Employees Retirement System to change it, prospectively, from a defined benefit system to a defined contribution system. This amendment provides for the establishment of an individual account for each employee hired by the government after December 31, 1999 and for current employees who elect to transfer from the existing defined benefit system. The individual account of each current employee is credited initially with an amount equal to his aggregate contributions to the Employees Retirement System, plus interest. Current employees who do not elect to transfer to the new defined contribution system will continue accruing benefits under the current defined benefits system. The individual account of each participant of the new defined contribution system is credited monthly with the participant's contribution and is credited semiannually with a rate of return based on either of two notional investment returns. Such accounts are not credited with any government contributions. Instead, government contributions will now be used completely to reduce the unfunded accumulated pension liability of the Employees Retirement System.

The law approving the sale of a controlling interest in the Puerto Rico Telephone Company ("PRTC") to a consortium led by GTE International Telecommunications Incorporated (subsequently acquired by Verizon Communications Inc., "Verizon") provides that any future proceeds received by the government from the sale of its remaining 43% stock ownership in PRTC will be transferred to the Employees Retirement System to reduce its accumulated unfunded pension benefit obligation. In January 2002, Verizon exercised its option to purchase and purchased an additional 15% of the stock of PRTC for $172 million. The proceeds of the sale were deposited into the Employees Retirement System.

<R>The Employee Retirement System's disbursements of benefits during fiscal year 2002 and 2003 exceeded contributions and investments income for such years. This cash shortfall was covered with a portion of the proceeds from the sale to Verizon of the 15% stock ownership in PRTC. The Employees Retirement System anticipates that its future cash flow needs for disbursements of benefits to participants may exceed the sum of the employer and employee contributions received and its investment and other recurring income. The Employees Retirement System expects to cover this cash flow imbalance in the next few fiscal years with the proceeds from the sale of its remaining shares of PRTC stock. The Employees Retirement System is currently evaluating other measures to increase its revenues.</R>

<R>According to the most recent actuarial valuation of the Teachers Retirement System submitted by a firm of independent consulting actuaries, as of June 30, 2001, the accrued actuarial liability of the system was $3.684 billion and the value of assets amounted to $2.84 billion, representing a funding ratio of 62%, and the resulting unfunded accrued liability was $1.40 billion. This funding ratio does not take into account the recent significant decline in the equities market and the resulting reduction in the value of the equity portfolios. As of June 30, 2000, the remaining amortization period for the unfunded liability is 19 years. The actuarial valuation assumed an investment return of 8% per year and salary increase of 5% per year. Act No. 43 of January 27, 2000 increased the amount of the employee contribution from 7% to 9%, effective immediately. This will result in an increase of employee contributions of $1.5 million.</R>

The fiscal year of the government of Puerto Rico begins each July 1. The Governor is constitutionally required to submit to the Legislature an annual balanced budget of capital improvements and operating expenses of the central government for the ensuing fiscal year. The annual budget is prepared by Office of Management and Budget ("OMB"), working with the Planning Board, the Department of the Treasury, and other government offices and agencies. Section 7 of Article VI of the Constitution provides that "The appropriations made for any fiscal year shall not exceed the total revenues, including available surplus, estimated for said fiscal year unless the imposition of taxes sufficient to cover said appropriations is provided by law."

<R>The annual budget, which is developed utilizing elements of program budgeting, includes an estimate of revenues and other resources for the ensuing fiscal year under: (i) laws existing at the time the budget is submitted; and (ii) legislative measures proposed by the Governor and submitted with the proposed budget, as well as the Governor's recommendations as to appropriations that in her judgment are necessary, convenient, and in conformity with the four-year investment plan prepared by the Planning Board.</R>

<R>The Legislature may amend the budget submitted by the Governor but may not increase any items so as to cause a deficit without imposing taxes to cover such deficit. Upon passage by the Legislature, the budget is referred to the Governor who may decrease or eliminate any item but may not increase or insert any new item in the budget. The Governor may also veto the budget in its entirety and return it to the Legislature with her objections. The Legislature, by a two-thirds majority in each house, may override the Governor's veto. If a budget is not adopted prior to the end of the fiscal year, the annual budget for the preceding fiscal year as originally approved by the Legislature and the Governor is automatically renewed for the ensuing fiscal year until a new budget is approved by the Legislature and the Governor. This permits the government of Puerto Rico to continue to make payments of its operating and other expenses until a new budget is approved.</R>

During any fiscal year in which the resources available to the Commonwealth are insufficient to cover the appropriations approved for such year, the Governor may take administrative measures to reduce expenses and submit to both houses of the Legislature a detailed report of any adjustment necessary to balance the budget, or make recommendations to the Legislature for new taxes or authorize borrowings under provisions of existing legislation or take any other necessary action to meet the estimated deficiency. Any such proposed adjustments shall give effect to the "priority norms" established by law for the disbursement of public funds in the following order of priority: first, the payment of the interest on and amortization requirements for public debt (Commonwealth general obligations and guaranteed debt for which the Commonwealth's guarantee has been exercised); second, the fulfillment of obligations arising out of legally binding contracts, court decisions on eminent domain, and other unavoidable obligations to protect the name, credit, and good faith of the Commonwealth; third, current expenditures in the areas of health, protection of persons and property, education, welfare, and retirement systems; and fourth, all other purposes.

<R>Act No. 147 of June 18, 1980 created a Budgetary Fund, as amended (the "Budgetary Fund Act"), to cover the appropriations approved in any fiscal year in which the revenues available for such fiscal year are insufficient, honor the public debt, and provide for unforeseen circumstances in the provision of public services. The Budgetary Fund Act was amended in 1994 to require that an annual legislative appropriation equal to one third of one percent (.33%) of the total budgeted appropriations for each fiscal year be deposited in the Budgetary Fund. In 1997, the Budgetary Fund Act was further amended to increase the annual legislative appropriation required to be deposited in the Budgetary Fund to one percent (1%) of the total revenues of the preceding fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2000. In addition, other income (not classified as revenues) that is not assigned by law to a specific purpose is also required to be deposited in the Budgetary Fund. The maximum balance of the Budgetary Fund may not exceed six percent (6%) of the total appropriations included in the budget for the preceding fiscal year. As of July 1, 2003, after considering adjustments made at the end of fiscal year 2003, the balance of the Budgetary Fund was $115 million.</R>

In Puerto Rico, the central government has many functions which in the fifty states are the responsibility of local government, such as providing public education and police and fire protection. The central government also makes large annual grants to the University of Puerto Rico, Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority ("PRASA"), and to the municipalities. The grants to the University of Puerto Rico are included in current expenses for education and the debt service on general obligation bonds is included in current expenses for debt service. Debt service on Sugar Corporation notes paid by the government of Puerto Rico is included in current expenses for economic development, and debt service on Urban Renewal and Housing Corporation bonds and notes and on Puerto Rico Housing Finance Authority mortgage subsidy bonds paid by the government of Puerto Rico is included in current expenses for housing.

<R>Approximately 30% of the General Fund is committed for payment of fixed changes such as municipal subsidies, grants to the University of Puerto Rico, contributions to PRASA, funding for the judiciary branch and rental payments to Public Building Authority, among others, including debt service on direct debt of the Commonwealth. In the case of the judiciary branch, legislation approved in December 2002 provides that, commencing on fiscal year 2004, the Commonwealth will appropriate annually to the judiciary branch an amount initially equal to 3.3% of the average annual revenue from internal sources for each of the two preceding fiscal years. This percentage will increase until it reaches 4% in fiscal year 2008, and may be further increased upon review, with scheduled reviews every five years.</R>

<R>The consolidated budget for fiscal year 2004 totaled $23.354 billion. Of this amount, 13.270 billion is assigned to the central government. This includes General Fund total resources and appropriations of $8.265 billion, which represents an increase of $422 million, or 5.4% over budgeted amounts for fiscal year 2003. These total resources include $7.925 billion of total revenues and $340 million of other sources.</R>

<R>In the fiscal year 2004 budget, revenues and other resources of all budgetary funds total $12,609,829,000 excluding balances from the previous fiscal year and general obligation bonds authorized. The estimated net increase in General Fund revenues in fiscal year 2004 is accounted for by increases in personal income taxes (up $48,322,000), excise taxes on alcoholic beverages (up $13,418,000), corporation income taxes (up $61,015,000), general 5% excise taxes (up $50,291,000), excise taxes on cigarettes (up $9,513,000), excise taxes on motor vehicles and accessories (up $43,748,000), electronic lottery (up $26,000,000), Federal excise taxes on off-shore shipments (up $20,042,000), income tax withheld from non-residents (up $42,859,000) and decreases in customs (down $5,918,000) and tollgate taxes (down $23,321,000).</R>

<R>Current expenses and capital improvements of all budgetary funds total $13,270,074,000, an increase of $669,281,000 from fiscal year 2003. The major changes in General Fund expenditures by program in fiscal year 2004 are: increases in education (up $116,054,000), health (up $86,840,000), public safety and protection (up $2,452,000), debt service on Commonwealth's general obligations and guaranteed debt (up $76,013,000), other debt service consisting principally of Commonwealth appropriation debt (up $63,193,000), special pension contributions (up $62,451,000), general government (up $2,452,000), housing (up $1652,000), and transportation and communications (up $4,687,000) and decreases in economic development (down $4,566,000), welfare (down $755,000), contributions to municipalities (down $859,000), and other debts (down $59,911,000).</R>

The general obligation bond authorization for the fiscal year 2004 budget is $540,000,000.

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities are placed on behalf of each fund by FMR pursuant to authority contained in the management contract. FMR may also be responsible for the placement of portfolio transactions for other investment companies and investment accounts for which it has or its affiliates have investment discretion. In selecting brokers or dealers (including affiliates of FMR), FMR generally considers: the execution price; the size and type of the transaction; the nature and character of the markets for the security to be purchased or sold; the execution efficiency, settlement capability, and financial condition of the firm; the execution services rendered on a continuing basis; the reasonableness of any compensation paid; arrangements for payment of fund expenses, if applicable; and the provision of additional brokerage and research products and services.

If FMR grants investment management authority to a sub-adviser (see the section entitled "Management Contracts"), that sub-adviser is authorized to provide the services described in the sub-advisory agreement, and will do so in accordance with the policies described in this section.

Purchases and sales of securities on a securities exchange are effected through brokers who receive compensation for their services. Compensation may also be paid in connection with riskless principal transactions (in both over-the-counter (OTC) securities and securities listed on an exchange) and agency OTC transactions executed with an electronic communications network<R> (ECN</R>) or an alternative trading system.

Securities may be purchased from underwriters at prices that include underwriting fees.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with brokers or dealers that provide products and services. These products and services may include: economic, industry, or company research reports or investment recommendations; subscriptions to financial publications or research data compilations; compilations of securities prices, earnings, dividends, and similar data; computerized databases; quotation equipment and services; research or analytical computer software and services; products or services that assist in effecting transactions, including services of third-party computer systems developers directly related to research and brokerage activities; and effecting securities transactions and performing functions incidental thereto (such as clearance and settlement). The receipt of these products and services has not reduced FMR's normal research activities in providing investment advice to the funds. FMR's expenses could be increased, however, if it attempted to generate these additional products and services through its own efforts.

<R>Certain of the products and services FMR receives from brokers or dealers are furnished by brokers or dealers on their own initiative, either in connection with a particular transaction or as part of their overall services. In addition, FMR may request a broker or dealer to provide a specific proprietary or third-party product or service. While FMR takes into account the products and services provided by a broker or dealer in determining whether compensation paid is reasonable, neither FMR nor a fund incurs an obligation to the broker, dealer, or third party to pay for any product or service (or portion thereof) by generating a certain amount of compensation or otherwise.</R>

<R>Brokers or dealers that execute transactions for a fund may receive compensation that is in excess of the amount of compensation that other brokers or dealers might have charged, in recognition of the products and services they have provided. Before causing a fund to pay such higher compensation, </R>FMR will make a good faith determination that the compensation is reasonable in relation to the value of the products and services provided viewed in terms of the particular transaction for the fund or FMR's overall responsibilities to the fund or other investment companies and investment accounts. Typically, these products and services assist FMR or its affiliates in terms of its overall investment responsibilities to the fund and other investment companies and investment accounts; however, each product or service received may not benefit the fund.

<R>FMR may place trades with certain brokers with which it is under common control, including National Financial Services LLC (NFS), provided it determines that these affiliates' trade execution abilities and costs are comparable to those of non-affiliated, qualified brokerage firms.</R>

FMR may allocate brokerage transactions to brokers or d<R>ealers who have</R> entered into arrangements with FMR under which the broker-dealer allocates a portion of the compensation paid by a fund toward the reduction of that fund's expenses.

The Trustees of each fund periodically review FMR's performance of its responsibilities in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund and review the compensation paid by the fund over representative periods of time to determine if they are reasonable in relation to the benefits to the fund.

<R>A</R> fund may pay compensation including both commissions and spreads in connection with the placement of portfolio transactions.

<R>For the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004, February 28, 2003 and 2002 each fund paid no brokerage commissions.</R>

For the fiscal year ended February 29, 200<R>4</R>, each fund paid no brokerage commissions to firms for providing research services.

The Trustees of each fund have approved procedures in conformity with Rule 10f-3 under the 1940 Act whereby a fund may purchase securities that are offered in underwritings in which an affiliate of FMR participates. These procedures prohibit the funds from directly or indirectly benefiting an FMR affiliate in connection with such underwritings. In addition, for underwritings where an FMR affiliate participates as a principal underwriter, certain restrictions may apply that could, among other things, limit the amount of securities that the funds could purchase in the underwritings.

From time to time the Trustees will review whether the recapture for the benefit of the funds of some portion of the compensation paid by the funds on portfolio transactions is legally permissible and a<R>dvisable. The T</R>rustees intend to continue to review whether recapture opportunities are available and are legally permissible and, if so, to determine in the exercise of their business judgment whether it would be advisable for each fund to participate, or continue to participate, in the commission recapture program.

Although the Trustees and officers of each fund are substantially the same as those of other funds managed by FMR or its affiliates, investment decisions for each fund are made independently from those of other funds or investment accounts <R>(including proprietary accounts)</R> managed by FMR or its affiliates. The same security is often held in the portfolio of more than one of these funds or investment accounts. Simultaneous transactions are inevitable when several funds and investment accounts are managed by the same investment adviser, particularly when the same security is suitable for the investment objective of more than one fund or investment account.

<R>When two or more funds or investment accounts are simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security, the prices and amounts are allocated in accordance with procedures believed to be appropriate and equitable to each fund or investment account. In some cases this system could have a detrimental effect on the price or value of the security as far as each fund is concerned. In other cases, however, the ability of the funds to participate in volume transactions will produce better executions and prices for the funds. It is the current opinion of the Trustees that the desirability of retaining FMR as investment adviser to each fund outweighs any disadvantages that may be said to exist from exposure to simultaneous transactions.</R>

VALUATION

Each fund's NAV is the value of a single share. The NAV of each fund is computed by adding the value of the fund's investments, cash, and other assets, subtracting its liabilities, and dividing the result by the number of shares outstanding.

Portfolio securities and other assets are valued on the basis of amortized cost. This technique involves initially valuing an instrument at its cost as adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount rather than its current market value. The amortized cost value of an instrument may be higher or lower than the price a fund would receive if it sold the instrument.

Securities of other open-end investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs.

At such intervals as they deem appropriate, the Trustees consider the extent to which NAV calculated by using market valuations would deviate from the $1.00 per share calculated using amortized cost valuation. If the Trustees believe that a deviation from a fund's amortized cost per share may result in material dilution or other unfair results to shareholders, the Trustees have agreed to take such corrective action, if any, as they deem appropriate to eliminate or reduce, to the extent reasonably practicable, the dilution or unfair results. Such corrective action could include selling portfolio instruments prior to maturity to realize capital gains or losses or to shorten average portfolio maturity; withholding dividends; redeeming shares in kind; establishing NAV by using available market quotations; and such other measures as the Trustees may deem appropriate.

BUYING, SELLING, AND EXCHANGING INFORMATION

A fund may make redemption payments in whole or in part in readily marketable securities or other property pursuant to procedures approved by the Trustees if FMR determines it is in the best interests of the fund. Such securities or other property will be valued for this purpose as they are valued in computing each fund's NAV. Shareholders that receive securities or other property will realize, upon receipt, a gain or loss for tax purposes, and will incur additional costs and be exposed to market risk prior to and upon sale of such securities or other property.

DISTRIBUTIONS AND TAXES

Dividends. To the extent that each fund's income is designated as federally tax-exempt interest, the dividends declared by the fund are also federally tax-exempt. Short-term capital gains a<R>re taxable at ordinary income tax rates, </R>but do not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

Generally, each fund purchases municipal securities whose interest, in the opinion of bond counsel, is free from federal income tax. FMR does not guarantee that this opinion is correct, and there is no assurance that the IRS will agree with bond counsel's opinion. Issuers or other parties generally enter into covenants requiring continuing compliance with federal tax requirements to preserve the tax-free status of interest payments over the life of the security. If at any time the covenants are not complied with, or if the IRS otherwise determines that the issuer did not comply with relevant tax requirements, interest payments from a security could become federally taxable retroactive to the date the security was issued. For certain types of structured securities, the tax status of the pass-through of tax-free income may also be based on the federal and state tax treatment of the structure.

Interest on certain "private activity" securities is subject to the federal alternative minimum tax (AMT), although the interest continues to be excludable from gross income for other tax purposes. Interest from private activity securities is a tax preference item for the purposes of determining whether a taxpayer is subject to the AMT and the amount of AMT to be paid, if any.

A portion of the gain on municipal bonds purchased at market discount after April 30, 1993 is taxable to shareholders as ordinary income, not as capital gains.

California Tax Matters. As long as a fund continues to qualify as a regulated investment company under the federal Internal Revenue Code, it will incur no California income or franchise tax liability on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. California personal income tax law provides that exempt-interest dividends paid by a regulated investment company, or series thereof, from interest on obligations that are exempt from California personal income tax are excludable from gross income. For a fund to qualify to pay exempt-interest dividends under California law, at least 50% of the value of its assets must consist of such obligations at the close of each quarter of its fiscal year. For purposes of California personal income taxation, distributions to individual shareholders derived from interest on other types of obligations and short-term capital gains will be taxed as dividends, and <R>any </R>long-term capital gain distributions will be taxed as capital gains. California has an alternative minimum tax similar to the federal AMT described above. However, the California AMT does not include interest from private activity municipal obligations as an item of tax preference. Interest on indebtedness incurred or continued by a shareholder in connection with the purchase of shares of a fund will not be deductible for California personal income tax purposes. Corporate taxpayers should note that dividends will not be exempt from California corporate income or franchise tax.

Capital Gain Distributions. Each fund may distribute any net realized capital gains once a year or more often, as necessary.

Tax Status of the Funds. Each fund intends to qualify each year as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code so that it will not be liable for federal tax on income and capital gains distributed to shareholders. In order to qualify as a regulated investment company, and avoid being subject to federal income or excise taxes at the fund level, each fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains within each calendar year as well as on a fiscal year basis, and intends to comply with other tax rules applicable to regulated investment companies.

Other Tax Information. The information above is only a summary of some of the tax consequences generally affecting each fund and its shareholders, and no attempt has been made to discuss individual tax consequences. It is up to you or your tax preparer to determine whether the sale of shares of a fund resulted in a capital gain or loss or other tax consequence to you. In addition to federal income taxes, shareholders may be subject to state and local taxes on fund distributions, and shares may be subject to state and local personal property taxes. Investors should consult their tax advisers to determine whether a fund is suitable to their particular tax situation.

TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS

The Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and executive officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund's activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, and review each fund's performance. Except for William O. McCoy, each of the Trustees oversee<R>s 292 </R>funds advised by FMR or an affiliate. Mr. McCoy oversees<R> 294 fu</R>nds advised by FMR or an affiliate.

Standing Committees of the Funds' Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established various committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to non-interested Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Currently, the Board of Trustees has 10 standing committees.

The Operations Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann currently serving as <R>Chair</R>. The committee normally meets monthly (except August), or more frequently as called by the Chair, and serves as a forum for consideration of issues of importance to, or calling for particular determinations by, the non-interested Trustees. The committee also considers matters involving potential conflicts of interest between the funds and FMR and its affiliates and reviews proposed contracts and the proposed continuation of contracts between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates, and annually reviews and makes recommendations regarding transfer agent and other service agreements, insurance coverage, and custody agreements. The committee also monitors additional issues including the nature, levels and quality of services provided to shareholders, significant litigation, and the voting of proxies of portfolio companies. The committee also has oversight of compliance issues not specifically in the scope of the charters of the Audit Committee or Fund Oversight Committees and considers other operating matters not specifically within the scope of oversight of any other committee. The committee is also responsible for definitive action on all compliance matters involving the potential for significant reimbursement by FMR. During the fiscal year ended February 2<R>9</R>, 2004, the committee held 12 meetings.

The Fair Value Oversight Committee is composed of all of the non-interested Trustees, with Mr. Mann serving as <R>Chair</R>. The committee normally meets quarterly, or more frequently as called by the Chair, in conjunction with meetings of the Board of Trustees. The Fair Value Oversight Committee monitors and establishes policies concerning procedures and controls regarding the valuation of fund investments and their classification as liquid or illiquid and monitors matters of disclosure to the extent required to fulfill its statutory responsibilities. The committee provides oversight regarding the investment policies relating to, and Fidelity funds' investment in, non-traditional securities. The committee also reviews actions taken by FMR's Fair Value Committee. During the fiscal year ended February 29, 200<R>4</R>, the committee held four meetings.

The Board of Trustees has established three Fund Oversight Committees: the Equity Committee (composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (<R>Chair</R>), Kirk, and Stavropoulos), the Fixed-Income and International Committee (composed of Messrs. Cook (<R>Chair</R>) and Cox and Ms. Knowles), and the Select and Special Committee (composed of Messrs. McCoy (<R>Chair</R>), Gates, and Heilmeier). Each committee normally meets monthly (except August) or more frequently as called by the Chair of the respective committee. Each committee oversees investment advisory services provided by FMR to the relevant funds and develops an understanding of and monitors the investment objectives, policies, and practices of the relevant Fidelity funds. Each committee also monitors investment performance, compliance by each relevant Fidelity fund with its investment policies and restrictions and reviews appropriate benchmarks, competitive universes, unusual or exceptional investment matters and the personnel and other resources devoted to the management of each fund. The Fixed-Income and International Committee also receives reports required under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act and has oversight of research bearing on credit quality, investment structures and other fixed-income issues, and of international research. The Select and Special Committee has oversight of FMR's equity investment research. Each committee will review and recommend any required action to the Board in respect of specific funds, including new funds, changes in fundamental and non-fundamental investment policies and restrictions, partial or full closing to new investors, fund mergers, fund name changes, and liquidations of funds. The non-interested Trustees of each committee may organize working groups to make recommendations concerning issues related to funds that are within the scope of the committee's review. These working groups report to the committee or to the non-interested Trustees, or both, as appropriate. Each working group may request from FMR such information from FMR as may be appropriate to the working group's deliberations. Prior to December 2003, the Fixed-Income and International Committee was known as the Fixed-Income/International Committee, and the Select and Special Committee was known as the Select Committee. During the fiscal year ended February 2<R>9</R>, 2004, the Equity Committee held 10 meetings, the Fixed-Income and International Committee held 11 meetings, and the Select and Special Committee held 10 meetings.

The Board of Trustees established in December 2003 two Fund Contract Committees: the Equity Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Lautenbach (<R>Chair</R>), Cook, and McCoy) and the Fixed-Income Contract Committee (composed of Messrs. Cook (<R>Chair</R>) and Cox, and Ms. Knowles). Each committee ordinarily meets monthly during the first six months of each year and more frequently as necessary to consider matters related to the renewal of fund investment advisory agreements. The committees will assist the Board of Trustees in its consideration of investment advisory agreements of each fund. Each committee receives information on and makes recommendations concerning the approval of investment advisory agreements between the Fidelity funds and FMR and its affiliates and any non-FMR affiliate that serves as a sub-adviser to a Fidelity fund (collectively, investment advisers) and the annual review of these contracts. The Fixed-Income Contract Committee will be responsible for investment advisory agreements of the fixed-income funds. The Equity Contract Committee will be responsible for the investment advisory agreements of all other funds. With respect to each fund under its purview, each committee: requests and receives information on the nature, levels, and quality of services provided to the shareholders of the Fidelity funds by the investment advisers and their respective affiliates, fund performance, and such other information as the committee determines to be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreements; considers the profitability and other benefits that the investment advisers and their respective affiliates derive from their contractual arrangements with each of the funds (including tangible and intangible "fall-out benefits"); considers methodologies for determining the extent to which the funds benefit from economies of scale and refinements to these methodologies; considers such other matters and information as may be necessary and appropriate to evaluate investment advisory agreements of the funds; and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the approval or renewal of investment advisory agreements. Each committee will consult with the other committees of the Board of Trustees, and in particular with the Audit Committee and the applicable Fund Oversight Committees, in carrying out its responsibilities. Each committee's responsibilities are guided by Sections 15(c) and 36(b) of the 1940 Act. While each committee consists solely of non-interested Trustees, its meetings may, depending upon the subject matter, be attended by one or more senior members of FMR's management or representatives of a sub-adviser not affiliated with FMR. During the fiscal year ended February 29, 2004, each Fund Contract Committee held no meetings.

The Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee is composed of Messrs. Cox (<R>Chair</R>), Cook, Heilmeier, Lautenbach, and Stavropoulos. The committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair. Regarding shareholder services, the committee considers the structure and amount of the Fidelity funds' transfer agency fees, custody fees, and direct fees to investors (other than sales loads), such as small account and exchange fees, and the nature and quality of services rendered by FMR and its affiliates or third parties (such as custodians) in consideration of these fees. The committee also considers other non-investment management services rendered to the Fidelity funds by FMR and its affiliates, including pricing and bookkeeping services and fees. Regarding brokerage, the committee monitors and recommends policies concerning the securities transactions of the Fidelity funds. The committee periodically reviews the policies and practices with respect to efforts to achieve best execution and commissions paid to firms supplying research and brokerage services or paying fund expenses. The committee also monitors brokerage and other similar relationships between the Fidelity funds and firms affiliated with FMR that participate in the execution of securities transactions. Regarding the distribution of fund shares, the committee considers issues bearing on the various distribution channels employed by the Fidelity funds, including issues regarding Rule 18f-3 plans and related consideration of classes of shares, sales load structures (including breakpoints), load waivers, selling concessions and service charges paid to intermediaries, Rule 12b-1 plans, contingent deferred sales charges, and finders' fees. The committee also oversees and receives reports on the preparation and use of advertisements and sales literature for the Fidelity funds. During the fiscal year ended February 2<R>9</R>, 2004, the Shareholder Services, Brokerage and Distribution Committee held nine meetings.

The Audit Committee is composed of Ms. Knowles (<R>Chair</R>), and Messrs. Gates, Kirk, and McCoy. All committee members must be able to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company's balance sheet, income statement, and cash flow statement. At least one committee member will be an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by the SEC. The committee normally meets in conjunction with in-person meetings of the Board of Trustees, or more frequently as called by the Chair. The committee meets separately at least four times a year with the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, with personnel responsible for the internal audit function of FMR Corp., and with the Fidelity funds' outside auditors. The committee has direct responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of the outside auditors employed by the Fidelity funds. The committee assists the Trustees in overseeing and monitoring: (i) the systems of internal accounting and financial controls of the Fidelity funds and the funds' service providers, (ii) the financial reporting processes of the Fidelity funds, (iii) the independence, objectivity and qualification of the auditors to the Fidelity funds, (iv) the annual audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements, and (v) the accounting policies and disclosures of the Fidelity funds. The committee considers and acts upon (i) the provision by any outside auditor of any non-audit services for any Fidelity fund, and (ii) the provision by any outside auditor of certain non-audit services to Fidelity fund service providers and their affiliates to the extent that such approval (in the case of this clause (ii)) is required under applicable regulations of the SEC. In furtherance of the foregoing, the committee has adopted (and may from time to time amend or supplement) and provides oversight of policies and procedures for non-audit engagements by outside auditors of the Fidelity funds. It is responsible for approving all audit engagement fees and terms for the Fidelity funds, resolving disagreements between a fund and any outside auditor regarding any fund's financial reporting, and has sole authority to hire and fire any auditor. Auditors of the funds report directly to the committee. The committee will obtain assurance of independence and objectivity from the outside auditors, including a formal written statement delineating all relationships between the auditor and the Fidelity funds and any service providers consistent with Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1. The committee will receive reports of compliance with provisions of the Auditor Independence Regulations relating to the hiring of employees or former employees of the outside auditors. It oversees and receives reports on the Fidelity funds' service providers' internal controls and reviews the adequacy and effectiveness of the service providers' accounting and financial controls, including: (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal controls over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Fidelity funds' ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data; (ii) any change in the fund's internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the fund's internal control over financial reporting; and (iii) any fraud, whether material or not, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Fidelity funds' or service providers internal controls over financial reporting. The committee reviews at least annually a report from each outside auditor describing any material issues raised by the most recent internal quality control, peer review, or Public Company Accounting Oversight Board examination of the auditing firm and any material issues raised by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities of the auditing firm and in each case any steps taken to deal with such issues. The committee will oversee and receive reports on the Fidelity funds' financial reporting process, will discuss with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditors and, if appropriate, internal audit personnel of FMR Corp. their qualitative judgments about the appropriateness and acceptability of accounting principles and financial disclosure practices used or proposed for adoption by the Fidelity funds, and will review with FMR, the Fidelity funds' Treasurer, outside auditor, and internal auditor personnel of FMR Corp. (to the extent relevant) the results of audits of the Fidelity funds' financial statements. The committee will review periodically the Fidelity funds<R>' </R>major internal controls exposures and the steps that have been taken to monitor and control such exposures. The committee also plays an oversight role in respect of each Fidelity fund's compliance with its name test and investment restrictions, the code of ethics relating to personal securities transactions, the code of ethics applicable to certain senior officers of the Fidelity funds, and anti-money laundering requirements. During the fiscal year ended February 2<R>9</R>, 2004, the committee held 11 meetings.

The Governance and Nominating Committee is composed of Messrs. Mann (<R>Chair</R>), Cox, and Gates, each of whom is not an "interested person" (as defined in the 1940 Act). The committee has two charters: one addressing fund governance and Board administrative matters and one addressing the nomination for the appointment or election of non-interested Trustees. The committee meets as called by the Chair. The committee also recommends the establishment of committees (including ad hoc and standing committees). The committee is also responsible for other fund governance and board administration matters. With respect to fund governance and board administration matters, the committee periodically reviews procedures and policies of the Board of Trustees and its committees (including committee charters) and periodically reviews compensation of non-interested Trustees. It acts as the administrative committee under the retirement plan for non-interested Trustees who retired prior to December 30, 1996 and under the fee deferral plan for non-interested Trustees. It reviews the performance of legal counsel employed by the Fidelity funds and the non-interested Trustees. On behalf of the non-interested Trustees, the committee will make such findings and determinations as to the independence of counsel for the non-interested Trustees as may be necessary or appropriate under applicable regulations or otherwise. The committee is also responsible for Board administrative matters applicable to non-interested Trustees, such as expense reimbursement policies and compensation for attendance at meetings, conferences and other events. The committee monitors compliance with, acts as the administrator of, and makes determinations in respect of, the provisions of the code of ethics and any supplemental policies regarding personal securities transactions applicable to the non-interested Trustees. The committee monitors regulatory and other developments to determine whether to recommend modifications to the committee's responsibilities or other Trustee policies and procedures in light of rule changes, reports concerning "best practices" in corporate governance and other developments in mutual fund governance. The committee meets with non-interested Trustees at least once a year to discuss the Statement of Policies and other matters relating to fund governance. The committee also oversees the annual self-evaluation of the non-interested Trustees. The committee makes nominations for the election or appointment of non-interested Trustees and non-management Members of any Advisory Board, and for membership on committees. The committee will have sole authority to retain and terminate any search firm used to identify non-interested Trustee candidates, including sole authority to approve such firm's fees and other retention terms. The committee will consider nominees to the Board of Trustees recommended by shareholders based upon the criteria applied to candidates presented to the committee by a search firm or other source. Recommendations, along with appropriate background material concerning the candidate that demonstrates his or her ability to serve as a non-interested Trustee of the Fidelity funds, should be submitted to the <R>Chair</R> of the committee at the address maintained for communications with non-interested Trustees. If the committee retains a search firm, the <R>Chair</R> will forward all such submissions to the search firm for evaluation. With respect to the criteria for selecting non-interested Trustees, it is expected that all candidates will possess the following minimum qualifications: (i) unquestioned personal integrity; (ii) not an "interested person" of FMR or its affiliates within the meaning of the 1940 Act; (iii) does not have a material relationship (e.g., commercial, banking, consulting, legal, or accounting) that could create an appearance of lack of independence in respect of FMR and its affiliates; (iv) has the disposition to act independently in respect of FMR and its affiliates and others in order to protect the interests of the funds and all shareholders; (v) <R>ability </R>to attend 11 meetings per year; (vi) demonstrates sound business judgment gained through broad experience in significant positions where the candidate has dealt with management, technical, financial, or regulatory issues; (vii) sufficient financial or accounting knowledge to add value in the complex financial environment of the Fidelity funds; (viii) experience on corporate or other institutional oversight bodies having similar responsibilities, but which board memberships or other relationships could not result in business or regulatory conflicts with the funds; and (ix) capacity for the hard work and attention to detail that is required to be an effective non-interested Trustee in light of the Fidelity funds' complex regulatory, operational, and marketing setting. The Governance and Nominating Committee may determine that a candidate who does not have the type of previous experience or knowledge referred to above should nevertheless be considered as a nominee if the Governance and Nominating Committee finds that the candidate has additional qualifications such that his or her qualifications, taken as a whole, demonstrate the same level of fitness to serve as a non-interested Trustee. During the fiscal year ended February 2<R>9</R>, 2004, the committee held 11 meetings.

* Edward C. Johnson 3d, Abigail P. Johnson, Laura B. Cronin, Peter S. Lynch, and Robert L. Reynolds are interested persons and are compensated by FMR.

** Ms. Davis served on the Board of Trustees through December 31, 2003.

*** During the period from March 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003, Dr. Heilmeier served as a Member of the Advisory Board. Effective January 1, 2004, Dr. Heilmeier serves as a Member of the Board of Trustees.

**** Effective January 1, 2004, Ms. Small serves as a Member of the Advisory Board.

A Information is for the calendar year ended December 31, 2003 for 293 funds of 57 trusts in the fund complex. Compensation figures include cash, amounts required to be deferred, and may include amounts deferred at the election of Trustees. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, the Trustees accrued required deferred compensation from the funds as follows: J. Michael Cook, $111,000; Ralph F. Cox, $111,000; Phyllis Burke Davis, $111,000; Robert M. Gates, $111,000; Donald J. Kirk, $111,000; Marie L. Knowles, $111,000; Ned C. Lautenbach, $111,000; Marvin L. Mann, $141,000; William O. McCoy, $111,000; and William S. Stavropoulos, $111,000. Certain of the non-interested Trustees elected voluntarily to defer a portion of their compensation as follows: J. Michael Cook, $35,316.47; Ralph F. Cox, $35,316.47; Phyllis Burke Davis, $44,989.93; Ned C. Lautenbach, $44,989.93; and William O. McCoy, $82,489.93.

B Compensation figures include cash and may include amounts deferred at Mr. McCoy's election under a deferred compensation plan adopted by the other open-end registered investment companies in the fund complex (Other Open-End Funds). Pursuant to the deferred compensation plan, Mr. McCoy, as a non-interested Trustee, may elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of his annual fees. Amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan are credited to an account established for Mr. McCoy on the books of the Other Open-End Funds. Interest is accrued on amounts deferred under the deferred compensation plan. For the calendar year ended December 31, 2003, Mr. McCoy voluntarily elected to defer $37,500.

Under a deferred compensation plan adopted in September 1995 and amended in November 1996 and January 2000 (the Plan), non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual fees. Amounts deferred under the Plan are treated as though equivalent dollar amounts had been invested in shares of a cross-section of Fidelity funds including funds in each major investment discipline and representing a majority of Fidelity's assets under management (the Reference Funds). The amounts ultimately received by the non-interested Trustees under the Plan will be directly linked to the investment performance of the Reference Funds. Deferral of fees in accordance with the Plan will have a negligible effect on a fund's assets, liabilities, and net income per share, and will not obligate a fund to retain the services of any non-interested Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to the non-interested Trustee. A fund may invest in the Reference Funds under the Plan without shareholder approval.

As of February 29, 2004, the Trustees, Members of the Advisory Board, and officers of each fund owned, in the aggregate, less than <R>1</R>% of each fund's total outstanding shares.

CONTROL OF INVESTMENT ADVISERS

FMR Corp., organized in 1972, is the ultimate parent company of FMR and Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM). The voting common stock of FMR Corp. is divided into two classes. Class B is held predominantly by members of the Edward C. Johnson 3d family and is entitled to 49% of the vote on any matter acted upon by the voting common stock. Class A is held predominantly by non-Johnson family member employees of FMR Corp. and its affiliates and is entitled to 51% of the vote on any such matter. The Johnson family group and all other Class B shareholders have entered into a shareholders' voting agreement under which all Class B shares will be voted in accordance with the majority vote of Class B shares. Under the 1940 Act, control of a company is presumed where one individual or group of individuals owns more than 25% of the voting stock of that company. Therefore, through their ownership of voting common stock and the execution of the shareholders' voting agreement, members of the Johnson family may be deemed, under the 1940 Act, to form a controlling group with respect to FMR Corp.

At present, the primary business activities of FMR Corp. and its subsidiaries are: (i) the provision of investment advisory, management, shareholder, investment information and assistance and certain fiduciary services for individual and institutional investors; (ii) the provision of securities brokerage services; (iii) the management and development of real estate; and (iv) the investment in and operation of a number of emerging businesses.

Fidelity International Limited (FIL), a Bermuda company formed in 1968, is the ultimate parent company of Fidelity International Investment Advisors (FIIA), Fidelity International Investment Advisors (U.K.) Limited (FIIA(U.K.)L). Edward C. Johnson 3d, Johnson family members, and various trusts for the benefit of the Johnson family own, directly or indirectly, more than 25% of the voting common stock of FIL. At present, the primary business activities of FIL and its subsidiaries are the provision of investment advisory services to non-U.S. investment companies and private accounts investing in securities throughout the world.

<R>FMR, FIMM, FIIA, FIIA(U.K.)L (the Investment Advisers), Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), and the funds have adopted codes of ethics under Rule 17j-1 of the 1940 Act that set forth employees' fiduciary responsibilities regarding the funds, establish procedures for personal investing, and restrict certain transactions. Employees subject to the codes of ethics, including Fidelity investment personnel, may invest in securities for their own investment accounts, including securities that may be purchased or held by the funds.</R>

MANAGEMENT CONTRACTS

Each fund has entered into a management contract with FMR, pursuant to which FMR furnishes investment advisory and other services.

Management Services. Under the terms of its management contract with each fund, FMR acts as investment adviser and, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, has overall responsibility for directing the investments of the fund in accordance with its investment objective, policies and limitations. FMR also provides each fund with all necessary office facilities and personnel for servicing the fund's investments, compensates all officers of each fund and all Trustees who are "interested persons" of the trust or of FMR, and all personnel of each fund or FMR performing services relating to research, statistical and investment activities.

In addition, FMR or its affiliates, subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees, provide the management and administrative services necessary for the operation of each fund. These services include providing facilities for maintaining each fund's organization; supervising relations with custodians, transfer and pricing agents, accountants, underwriters and other persons dealing with each fund; preparing all general shareholder communications and conducting shareholder relations; maintaining each fund's records and the registration of each fund's shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws; developing management and shareholder services for each fund; and furnishing reports, evaluations and analyses on a variety of subjects to the Trustees.

Management-Related Expenses (California Municipal Money Market). In addition to the management fee payable to FMR and the fees payable to the transfer, dividend disbursing, and shareholder servicing agent and pricing and bookkeeping agent the fund pays all of its expenses that are not assumed by those parties. The fund pays for the typesetting, printing, and mailing of its proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, and the fees of the custodian, auditor, and non-interested Trustees. The fund's management contract further provides that the fund will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. Other expenses paid by the fund include interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund is also liable for such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which the fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management-Related Expenses (Spartan California Municipal Money Market). Under the terms of the fund's management contract, FMR is responsible for payment of all operating expenses of the fund with certain exceptions. Specific expenses payable by FMR include expenses for typesetting, printing, and mailing proxy materials to shareholders, legal expenses, fees of the custodian, auditor, and interested Trustees, the fund's proportionate share of insurance premiums and Investment Company Institute dues, and the costs of registering shares under federal securities laws and making necessary filings under state securities laws. The fund's management contract further provides that FMR will pay for typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, notices, and reports to shareholders; however, under the terms of the fund's transfer agent agreement, the transfer agent bears these costs. FMR also pays all fees associated with transfer agent, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services and pricing and bookkeeping services.

FMR pays all other expenses of Spartan California Municipal Money Market with the following exceptions: fees and expenses of the non-interested Trustees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions (if any), money market insurance premiums (beginning January 1, 2004), if any, and such non-recurring expenses as may arise, including costs of any litigation to which a fund may be a party, and any obligation it may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect to litigation.

Management Fees. For the services of FMR under the management contract, Spartan California Municipal Money Market pays FMR a monthly management fee at the annual rate of 0.43% of the fund's average net assets throughout the month.

The management fee paid to FMR by Spartan California Municipal Money Market is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by the fund to the non-interested Trustees.

For the services of FMR under the management contract, California Municipal Money Market pays FMR a monthly management fee which has two components: a group fee rate and an individual fund fee rate.

The group fee rate is based on the monthly average net assets of all of the registered investment companies with which FMR has management contracts.

<R>The group fee rate is calculated on a cumulative basis pursuant to the graduated fee rate schedule shown above on the left. The schedule above on the right shows the effective annual group fee rate at various asset levels, which is the result of cumulatively applying the annualized rates on the left. For example, the effective annual fee rate at $858 billion of group net assets - the approximate level for February 2004 - was 0.1258%, which is the weighted average of the respective fee rates for each level of group net assets up to $858 billion.</R>

<R>The individual fund fee rate for California Municipal Money Market is 0.25%. Based on the average group net assets of the funds advised by FMR for February 2004, the fund's annual management fee rate would be calculated as follows:</R>

(dagger) On October 31, 2001, FMR reduced the management fee rate paid by Spartan California Municipal Money Market from 0.50% to 0.43%.

FMR may, from time to time, voluntarily reimburse all or a portion of a fund's operating expenses (exclusive of interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses), which is subject to revision or discontinuance. FMR retains the ability to be repaid for these expense reimbursements in the amount that expenses fall below the limit prior to the end of the fiscal year.

Expense reimbursements by FMR will increase a fund's returns and yield, and repayment of the reimbursement by a fund will lower its returns and yield.

<R>FMR voluntarily agreed to reimburse Spartan California Municipal Money Market if and to the extent that its aggregate operating expenses, including management fees, were in excess of an annual rate of its average net assets. The following table shows the periods of reimbursement and levels of expense limitations for the applicable funds; the dollar amount of management fees incurred under each fund's contract before reimbursement; and the dollar amount of management fees reimbursed by FMR under the expense reimbursement for each period.</R>

Sub-Advisers - FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L. On behalf of each fund, FIMM has entered into a master international fixed-income research agreement with FIIA. On behalf of each fund, FIIA, in turn, has entered into a fixed-income sub-research agreement with FIIA(U.K.)L. Pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements, FIMM may receive investment advice and research services concerning issuers and countries outside the United States. In particular, FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L will make minimal credit risk and comparable quality determinations for foreign issuers that issue U.S. dollar-denominated securities.

Under the terms of the master international fixed-income research agreement, FIMM pays FIIA an amount based on [the/a] fund's net assets relative to the assets of other registered investment companies with which FMR or FIMM has management contracts. Under the terms of the fixed-income sub-research agreement, FIIA pays FIIA(U.K.)L an amount equal to the administrative costs incurred in providing investment advice and research services for a fund.

<R>For the past fiscal year, no fees were paid to FIIA and FIIA(U.K.)L on behalf of the funds for providing investment advice and research services pursuant to the fixed-income research agreements.</R>

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE EXISTING INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACTS

Matters Considered by the Board. The mutual funds for which the members of the Board of Trustees serve as Trustees are referred to herein as the "Fidelity funds." The Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet 11 times a year. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, believes that matters bearing on each fund's advisory contracts are considered at most, if not all, of its meetings. While the full Board of Trustees or the non-interested Trustees, as appropriate, act on all major matters, a significant portion of the activities of the Board of Trustees (including certain of those described herein) is conducted through committees. The non-interested Trustees meet frequently in executive session and are advised by independent legal counsel selected by the non-interested Trustees.

Information Received by the Board of Trustees. In connection with their meetings, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, received materials specifically relating to the existing management contracts and sub-advisory agreements (the Investment Advisory Contracts). These materials included (i) information on the investment performance of each fund, a peer group of funds and an appropriate index or combination of indices, (ii) sales and redemption data in respect of each fund, and (iii) the economic outlook and the general investment outlook in the markets in which each fund invests. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considers periodically other material facts such as (1) the Investment Advisers' results and financial condition, (2) arrangements in respect of the distribution of each fund's shares, (3) the procedures employed to determine the value of each fund's assets, (4) the allocation of each fund's brokerage, if any, including allocations to brokers affiliated with the Investment Adviser[s], the use of "soft" commission dollars to pay for research and brokerage services, and the use of brokerage commissions to pay fund expenses, (5) the Investment Advisers' management of the relationships with each fund's custodians and subcustodians, (6) the resources devoted to and the record of compliance with each fund's investment policies and restrictions and with policies on personal securities transactions, and (7) the nature, cost and character of non-investment management services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates.

Additional information was furnished by the Investment Advisers including, among other items, information on and analysis of (a) the overall organization of the Investment Advisers, (b) investment performance, (c) the choice of performance indices and benchmarks, (d) the composition of peer groups of funds, (e) transfer agency and bookkeeping fees paid to affiliates of the Investment Advisers, (f) investment management staffing, (g) the potential for achieving further economies of scale, (h) operating expenses paid to third parties, and (i) the information furnished to investors, including each fund's shareholders.

In considering the Investment Advisory Contract[s], the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, did not identify any single factor as all-important or controlling, and the following summary does not detail all the matters considered. Matters considered by the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, in connection with its approval of the Investment Advisory Contracts include the following:

Benefits to Shareholders. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the benefit to shareholders of investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment disciplines and providing for a large variety of fund and shareholder services.

Investment Compliance and Performance. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether each fund has operated within its investment objective and its record of compliance with its investment restrictions. It also reviewed each fund's investment performance as well as the performance of a peer group of mutual funds, and the performance of an appropriate index or combination of indices.

The Investment Advisers' Personnel and Methods. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, reviews at least annually the background of each fund's portfolio manager and each fund's investment objective and discipline. The non-interested Trustees have also had discussions with senior management of the Investment Advisers responsible for investment operations and the senior management of Fidelity's money market group. Among other things they considered the size, education and experience of the Investment Advisers' investment staff, their use of technology, and the Investment Advisers' approach to recruiting, training and retaining portfolio managers and other research, advisory and management personnel.

Nature and Quality of Other Services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the nature, quality, cost and extent of administrative and shareholder services performed by the Investment Advisers and affiliated companies, under the existing Investment Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements covering transfer agency functions and pricing, bookkeeping and securities lending services, if any. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers' supervision of third party service providers, principally custodians and subcustodians.

Expenses. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered each fund's expense ratio, and expense ratios of a peer group of funds. It also considered the amount and nature of fees paid by shareholders.

Profitability. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the level of the Investment Advisers' profits in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, including each fund. This consideration included an extensive review of the Investment Advisers' methodology in allocating their costs to the management of a fund. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that the cost allocation methodology employed by the Investment Advisers has a reasonable basis and is appropriate in light of all of the circumstances. It considered the profits realized by the Investment Advisers in connection with the operation of a fund and whether the amount of profit is a fair entrepreneurial profit for the management of a fund. It also considered the profits realized from non-fund businesses which may benefit from or be related to a fund's business. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the Investment Advisers' profit margins in comparison with available industry data.

Economies of Scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the management of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including each fund) have appropriately benefitted from any economies of scale, and whether there is potential for realization of any further economies of scale. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, has concluded that any potential economies of scale are being shared between fund shareholders and the Investment Advisers in an appropriate manner.

Other Benefits to the Investment Advisers. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the character and amount of fees paid by each fund and each fund's shareholders for services provided by the Investment Advisers and their affiliates, including fees for services like transfer agency, fund accounting, and direct shareholder services. It also considered the allocation of fund brokerage to brokers affiliated with the Investment Advisers, the receipt of sales loads and payments under Rule 12b-1 plans in respect of certain of the Fidelity funds, and benefits to the Investment Advisers from the use of "soft" dollar commissions to pay for research and other similar services. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, also considered the revenues and profitability of the Investment Advisers' businesses other than their mutual fund business, including the Investment Advisers' retail brokerage, correspondent brokerage, capital markets, trust, investment advisory, pension record keeping, insurance, publishing, real estate, international research and investment funds, and others. The Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, considered the intangible benefits that accrue to the Investment Advisers and their affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each fund.

Conclusion. Based on its evaluation of all material factors and assisted by the advice of independent counsel, the Board of Trustees, including the non-interested Trustees, concluded that the existing advisory fee structures are fair <R>and</R> reasonable, and that the existing Investment Advisory Contracts should be continued.

<R>PROXY VOTING GUIDELINES</R>

<R>The following Proxy Voting Guidelines were established by the Board of Trustees of the funds, after consultation with Fidelity. (The guidelines are reviewed periodically by Fidelity and by the non-interested Trustees of the Fidelity funds, and, accordingly, are subject to change.)</R>

<R>I. General Principles</R>

<R> A. Except as set forth herein, portfolio securities should generally be voted in favor of incumbent directors and in favor of routine management proposals. In general, FMR will oppose shareholder proposals that do not appear reasonably likely to enhance the economic returns or profitability of the portfolio company or to maximize shareholder value.</R>

<R> B. Non-routine proposals covered by the following guidelines should generally be voted in accordance with the guidelines.</R>

<R> C. Non-routine proposals not covered by the following guidelines or other special circumstances should be evaluated by the appropriate FMR analyst or portfolio manager, subject to review by the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp. A significant pattern of such non-routine proposals or other special circumstances should be referred to the Operations Committee or its designee.</R>

<R>II. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against anti-takeover proposals, including:</R>

<R> A. Fair Price Amendments, except those that consider only a two year price history and are not accompanied by other anti-takeover measures.</R>

<R> B. Classified Boards. FMR will generally vote in favor of proposals to declassify a board of directors. FMR will consider voting against such a proposal if the issuer's Articles of Incorporation or applicable statute includes a provision whereby a majority of directors may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by written consent, or other reasonable procedures, by a majority of shareholders entitled to vote for the election of directors.</R>

<R> C. Authorization of "Blank Check" Preferred Stock.</R>

<R> D. Golden Parachutes:</R>

<R> 1. Accelerated options and/or employment contracts that will result in a lump sum payment of more than three times annual compensation (salary and bonus) in the event of termination.</R>

<R> 2. Compensation contracts for outside directors.</R>

<R> 3. Tin Parachutes that cover a group beyond officers and directors and permit employees to voluntarily terminate employment and receive payment.</R>

<R> 4. Adoption of a Golden or Tin Parachute will result in our withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.</R>

<R> E. Supermajority Provisions.</R>

<R> F. Poison Pills:</R>

<R> 1. Introduction of a Poison Pill without shareholder approval will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors. In addition, extension of an existing Poison Pill or the adoption of a new Poison Pill without shareholder approval upon the expiration of an existing Pill will result in FMR withholding authority in the concurrent or next following vote on the election of directors.</R>

<R> 2. FMR will consider not withholding its authority on the election of directors if (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is less than 5 years; and (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate the expired Pill. In addition, the Funds will consider not withholding authority on the election of directors if company management indicates that the board is willing to strongly consider seeking shareholder ratification of, or adding a sunset provision meeting the above conditions to, an existing Pill. In such a case, if the company does not take appropriate action prior to the next annual shareholder meeting, the Funds would withhold their vote from the election of directors at that next meeting.</R>

<R> 3. FMR will generally withhold authority on the election of directors if a company refuses, upon request by FMR, to amend a Poison Pill Plan to allow the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine not to withhold authority on the election of directors if a company's Poison Pill Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.</R>

<R> 4. Portfolio shares will be voted for shareholder proposals requiring or recommending that shareholders be given an opportunity to vote on the adoption of poison pills.</R>

<R> 5. If shareholders are requested to approve adoption of a Poison Pill plan, the Funds will, in general, consider voting in favor of the Poison Pill plan if: (a) the board has adopted a Poison Pill with a sunset provision; (b) the Pill is determined to be linked to a business strategy that will result in greater value for the shareholders; (c) the term is generally not longer than 5 years; (d) shareholder approval is required to reinstate an expired Pill; (e) the Pill contains a provision suspending its application, by shareholder referendum, in the event a potential acquirer announces a bona fide offer, made for all outstanding shares; and (f) the Pill allows the Fidelity funds to hold an aggregate position of up to 20% of a company's total voting securities and of any class of voting securities. On a case-by-case basis, FMR may determine to vote in favor of a company's Poison Pill Plan if the Plan, although imposing an aggregate ownership position limit of less than 20%, in the judgment of FMR provides the funds with sufficient investment flexibility.</R>

<R> G. Elimination of, or limitation on, shareholder rights (e.g., action by written consent, ability to call meetings, or remove directors).</R>

<R> H. Transfer of authority from shareholders to directors.</R>

<R> I. Reincorporation in another state (when accompanied by anti-takeover provisions).</R>

<R>III. Stock Option Plans</R>

<R> A. Stock Option plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against Stock Option Plan adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:</R>

<R> 1. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.</R>

<R> 2. The offering price of options is less than 100% of fair market value on the date of grant, except that the offering price may be as low as 85% of fair market value if the discount is expressly granted in lieu of salary or cash bonus.</R>

<R> 3. The Board may, without shareholder approval, (i) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants under the plan, (ii) materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the plan, or (iii) materially modify the requirements for participation in the plan.</R>

<R> 4. The granting of options to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, the plan is administered by a compensation committee not comprised entirely of non-employee directors or the plan is administered by a board of directors not comprised of a majority of non-employee directors, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.</R>

<R> 5. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines 2, 3 and 4 immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:</R>

<R> a. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.</R>

<R> b. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> 6. The plan's terms allow repricing of underwater options, or the Board/Committee has repriced options outstanding under the plan in the past 2 years. However, option repricing may be acceptable if all of the following conditions, as specified by the plan's express terms, or board resolution, are met:</R>

<R> a. The repricing is authorized by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors to fulfill a legitimate corporate purpose such as retention of a key employee;</R>

<R> b. The repricing is rarely used and then only to maintain option value due to extreme circumstances beyond management's control; and</R>

<R> c. The repricing is limited to no more than 5% (large capitalization company) or 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares currently authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> 7. Furthermore, if a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors determines that options need to be granted to employees other than the company's executive officers, that no shares are currently available for such options under the company's existing plans, and that such options need to be granted before the company's next shareholder meeting, then the company may reprice options in an amount not to exceed an additional 5% or 10%, as applicable, if such company seeks authorization of at least that amount at the very next shareholders' meeting.</R>

<R> 8. For purposes of this Guideline III, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.</R>

<R> B. FMR will generally withhold its authority on the election of directors if, within the last year and without shareholder approval, the company's board of directors or compensation committee has repriced outstanding options held by officers or directors which, together with all other options repriced under the same stock option plan (whether held by officers, directors or other employees) exceed 5% (for a large capitalization company) or 10% (for a small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> C. Proposals to reprice outstanding stock options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to reprice outstanding options based upon whether the proposed repricing is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:</R>

<R> 1. Whether the repricing proposal excludes senior management and directors;</R>

<R> 2. Whether the options proposed to be repriced exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;</R>

<R> 3. Whether the repricing proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable options pricing model;</R>

<R> 4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes and;</R>

<R> 6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a repricing proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

<R>IV. Restricted Stock Awards ("RSA") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against RSA adoptions or amendments to authorize additional shares if:</R>

<R> A. The dilution effect of the shares authorized under the plan, plus the shares reserved for issuance pursuant to all other stock plans, is greater than 10%. However, for companies with a smaller market capitalization, the dilution effect may not be greater than 15%. If the plan fails this test, the dilution effect may be evaluated relative to any unusual factor involving the company.</R>

<R> B. The Board may materially alter the RSA without shareholder approval, including a provision that allows the Board to lapse or waive restrictions at its discretion.</R>

<R> C. The granting of RSAs to non-employee directors is subject to management discretion, versus non-discretionary grants specified by the plan's terms.</R>

<R> D. The restriction period is less than 3 years. RSAs with a restriction period of less than 3 years but at least 1 year are acceptable if the RSA is performance based.</R>

<R> E. However, a modest number of shares may be available for grant to employees and non-employee directors without complying with Guidelines B, C and D immediately above if such shares meet both of two conditions:</R>

<R> 1. They are granted by a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors.</R>

<R> 2. They are limited to 5% (large capitalization company) and 10% (small capitalization company) of the shares authorized for grant under the plan.</R>

<R> F. For purposes of this Guideline IV, a large capitalization company generally means a company in the Russell 1000; the small capitalization company category generally includes all companies outside the Russell 1000.</R>

<R> G. Proposals to grant restricted stock in exchange for options should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. FMR will consider supporting a management proposal to grant restricted stock awards in exchange for options based upon whether the proposed exchange is consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as:</R>

<R> 1. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal excludes senior management and directors;</R>

<R> 2. Whether the options proposed to be exchanged exceeded FMR's dilution thresholds when initially granted;</R>

<R> 3. Whether the restricted stock award exchange proposal is value neutral to shareholders based upon an acceptable stock award pricing model;</R>

<R> 4. The company's relative performance compared to other companies within the relevant industry or industries;</R>

<R> 5. Economic and other conditions affecting the relevant industry or industries in which the company competes; and</R>

<R> 6. Any other facts or circumstances relevant to determining whether a restricted stock award exchange proposal is consistent with the interests of shareholders.</R>

<R>V. Other Stock-Related Plans should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis:</R>

<R> A. Omnibus Stock Plans - vote against entire plan if one or more component violates any of the criteria in parts III or IV above, except if the component is de minimus. In the case of an omnibus stock plan, the 5% and 10% limits in Guidelines III and IV will be measured against the total number of shares under all components of such plan.</R>

<R> B. Employee Stock Purchase Plans - vote against if the plan violates any of the criteria in parts III and IV above, except that the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to or greater than 85% of the stock's fair market value if the plan constitutes a reasonable effort to encourage broad based participation in the company's equity. In the case of non-U.S. company stock purchase plans, the minimum stock purchase price may be equal to the prevailing "best practices," as articulated by the research or recommendations of the relevant proxy research or corporate governance services, provided that the minimum stock purchase price must be at least 75% of the stock's fair market value.</R>

<R> C. Stock Awards (other than stock options and RSAs) - generally vote against unless they are identified as being granted to officers/directors in lieu of salary or cash bonus, subject to number of shares being reasonable.</R>

<R>VI. Unusual Increases in Common Stock:</R>

<R> A. An increase of up to 3 times outstanding and scheduled to be issued, including stock options, is acceptable; any increase in excess of 3 times would be voted against except in the case of real estate investment trusts, where an increase of 5 times is, in general, acceptable.</R>

<R> B. Measured as follows: requested increased authorization plus stock authorized to be issued under Poison Pill divided by current stock outstanding plus any stock scheduled to be issued (not including Poison Pill authority). (If the result is greater than 3, Portfolio shares should be voted against.)</R>

<R>VII. Portfolio shares should, in general, be voted against the introduction of new classes of Stock with Differential Voting Rights.</R>

<R>VIII. With regard to Cumulative Voting Rights, Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of introduction or against elimination on a case-by-case basis where this is determined to enhance Portfolio interests as minority shareholders.</R>

<R>IX. Greenmail - Portfolio shares should be voted for anti-greenmail proposals so long as they are not part of anti-takeover provisions.</R>

<R>X. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of charter by-law amendments expanding the Indemnification of Directors and/or limiting their liability for Breaches of Care.</R>

<R> A. Portfolio shares should be voted against such proposals if FMR is otherwise dissatisfied with the performance of management or the proposal is accompanied by anti-takeover measures.</R>

<R>XI. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposals to adopt Confidential Voting and Independent Vote Tabulation practices.</R>

<R>XII. Portfolio shares should be voted in favor of proposed amendments to a company's certificate of incorporation or by-laws that enable the company to Opt Out of the Control Shares Acquisition Statutes.</R>

<R>XIII. Employee Stock Ownership Plans ("ESOPs") should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Portfolio shares should usually be voted for non-leveraged ESOPs. For leveraged ESOPs, FMR may examine the company's state of incorporation, existence of supermajority vote rules in the charter, number of shares authorized for the ESOP, and number of shares held by insiders. FMR may also examine where the ESOP shares are purchased and the dilution effect of the purchase. Portfolio shares should be voted against leveraged ESOPs if all outstanding loans are due immediately upon change in control.</R>

<R>XIV. Voting of shares in securities of any U.S. banking organization shall be conducted in a manner consistent with conditions that may be specified by the Federal Reserve Board for a determination under federal banking law that no Fund or group of Funds has acquired control of such banking organization.</R>

<R>XV. Avoidance of Potential Conflicts of Interest</R>

<R>Voting of shares shall be conducted in a manner consistent with the best interests of mutual fund shareholders as follows: (i) securities of a portfolio company shall be voted solely in a manner consistent with the Proxy Voting Guidelines; and (ii) voting shall be done without regard to any other Fidelity Companies' relationship, business or otherwise, with that portfolio company.</R>

<R>FMR applies the following policies and follows the procedures set forth below:</R>

<R> A. FMR has placed responsibility for the Funds' proxy voting in the FMR Legal Department.</R>

<R> B. The FMR Legal Department votes proxies according to the Proxy Voting Guidelines that are approved by the Funds' Board of Trustees.</R>

<R> C. The FMR Legal Department consults with the appropriate analysts or portfolio managers regarding the voting decisions of non-routine proposals that are not addressed by the Proxy Voting Guidelines. Each of the President or General Counsel of FMR or the General Counsel of FMR Corp is authorized to take a final decision.</R>

<R> D. When a Fidelity Fund invests in an underlying fund in reliance on any one of Sections 12(d)(1)(E), (F) or (G) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or to the extent disclosed in the Fund's registration statement, FMR will use pass through voting or echo voting procedures.</R>

<R>XVI. Executive Compensation</R>

<R>FMR will consider withholding authority for the election of directors and voting against management proposals on stock-based compensation plans or other compensation plans based on whether the proposals are consistent with the interests of shareholders, taking into account such factors as: (i) whether the company has an independent compensation committee; and (ii) whether the compensation committee has authority to engage independent compensation consultants.</R>

<R>XVII. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the appointment of an independent chairperson. However, FMR will consider supporting such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, appointment of an independent chairperson appears likely to further the interests of shareholders and to promote effective oversight of management by the board of directors.</R>

<R>XVIII. Auditors</R>

<R> A. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending periodic rotation of a portfolio company's auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the selection of the company's auditor.</R>

<R> B. Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending the prohibition or limitation of the performance of non-audit services by a portfolio company's auditor. Portfolio shares should also generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending removal of a company's auditor due to, among other reasons, the performance of non-audit work by the auditor. FMR will consider voting for such proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, a company's board of directors and audit committee appear to have clearly failed to exercise reasonable business judgment in the oversight of the performance of the auditor of audit or non-audit services for the company.</R>

<R>XIX. Incorporation or Reincorporation in Another State or Country</R>

<R>Portfolio shares should generally be voted against shareholder proposals calling for or recommending that a portfolio company reincorporate in the United States and voted in favor of management proposals to reincorporate in a jurisdiction outside the United States if (i) it is lawful under Unites States, state and other applicable law for the company to be incorporated under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction and to conduct its business and (ii) reincorporating or maintaining a domicile in the United States would likely give rise to adverse tax or other economic consequences detrimental to the interests of the company and its shareholders. However, FMR will consider supporting such shareholder proposals and opposing such management proposals in limited cases if, based upon particular facts and circumstances, reincorporating in or maintaining a domicile in the relevant foreign jurisdiction gives rise to significant risks or other potential adverse consequences that appear reasonably likely to be detrimental to the interests of the company or its shareholders.</R>

DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

Each fund has entered into a distribution agreement with FDC, an affiliate of FMR. <R>The principal business address of FDC is 82 Devonshire Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02109.</R> FDC is a broker-dealer registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. The distribution agreements call for FDC to use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its other business, to secure purchasers for shares of the funds, which are continuously offered at NAV. Promotional and administrative expenses in connection with the offer and sale of shares are paid by FMR.

The Trustees have approved Distribution and Service Plans on behalf of each fund (the Plans) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the Rule). The Rule provides in substance that a mutual fund may not engage directly or indirectly in financing any activity that is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of the fund except pursuant to a plan approved on behalf of the fund under the Rule. The Plans, as approved by the Trustees, allow the funds and FMR to incur certain expenses that might be considered to constitute <R>direct or indirect</R> payment by the funds of distribution expenses.

Under each Plan, if the payment of management fees by the fund to FMR is deemed to be indirect financing by the fund of the distribution of its shares, such payment is authorized by the Plan. Each Plan specifically recognizes that FMR may use its management fee revenue, as well as its past profits or its other resources, to pay FDC for expenses incurred in connection with providing services intended to result in the sale of fund shares and/or shareholder support services. In addition, each Plan provides that FMR, directly or through FDC, may pay significant amounts to intermediaries, such as banks, broker-dealers, and other service-providers, that provide those services. Currently, the Board of Trustees has authorized such payments for California Municipal Money Market and Spartan California Municipal Money Market shares.

Prior to approving each Plan, the Trustees carefully considered all pertinent factors relating to the implementation of the Plan, and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the Plan will benefit the fund and its shareholders. In particular, the Trustees noted that each Plan does not authorize payments by the fund other than those made to FMR under its management contract with the fund. To the extent that each Plan gives FMR and FDC greater flexibility in connection with the distribution of fund shares, additional sales of fund shares or stabilization of cash flows may result. Furthermore, certain shareholder support services may be provided more effectively under the Plans by local entities with whom shareholders have other relationships.

Each fund may execute portfolio transactions with, and purchase securities issued by, depository institutions that receive payments under the Plans. No preference for the instruments of such depository institutions will be shown in the selection of investments.

FDC may compensate intermediaries that satisfy certain criteria established from time to time by FDC relating to the level or type of services provided by the intermediary, the sale or expected sale of significant amounts of shares, or other factors.

TRANSFER AND SERVICE AGENT AGREEMENTS

Each fund has entered into a transfer agent agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank), which is located at 111 Wall Street, New York, New York. Under the terms of the agreements, Citibank provides transfer agency, dividend disbursing, and shareholder services for each fund. Citibank in turn has entered into sub-transfer agent agreements with Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR. Under the terms of the sub-agreements, FSC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services for each fund and receives all related transfer agency fees paid to Citibank.

For providing transfer agency services, FSC receives a position fee and an asset-based fee each paid monthly with respect to each position in a fund. For retail accounts and certain institutional accounts, these fees are based on size of position and fund type. For certain institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on fund type. For certain other institutional retirement accounts, these fees are based on account type and fund type. The position fees are subject to increase based on postage rate changes.

FSC also collects fees charged in connection with providing certain types of services such as exchanges, closing out fund balances, maintaining fund positions with low balances, checkwriting, wire transactions, and providing historical account research.

In addition, FSC receives the pro rata portion of the transfer agency fees applicable to shareholder accounts in a qualified tuition program (<R>QTP)</R>, as defined under the Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996, managed by FMR or an affiliate and in each Fidelity Freedom Fund and Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund, funds of funds managed by an FMR affiliate, according to the percentage of the <R>QTP's</R>, Freedom Fund's, or Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund's assets that is invested in a fund, subject to certain limitations in the case of Fidelity Four-in-One Index Fund.

FSC pays out-of-pocket expenses associated with providing transfer agent services. In addition, FSC bears the expense of typesetting, printing, and mailing prospectuses, statements of additional information, and all other reports, notices, and statements to existing shareholders, with the exception of proxy statements.

Each fund has also entered into a service agent agreement with Citibank. Under the terms of the agreements, Citibank provides pricing and bookkeeping services for each fund. Citibank in turn has entered into sub-service agent agreements with FSC. Under the terms of the sub-agreements, FSC performs all processing activities associated with providing these services, including calculating the NAV and dividends for each fund and maintaining each fund's portfolio and general accounting records, and receives all related pricing and bookkeeping fees paid to Citibank.

For providing pricing and bookkeeping services, FSC receives a monthly fee based on each fund's average daily net assets throughout the month.

The annual rates for pricing and bookkeeping services for the funds are 0.0150% of the first $500 million of average net assets, 0.0075% of average net assets between $500 million and $10 billion, 0.0040% of average net assets between $10 billion and $25 billion, and 0.00180% of average net assets in excess of $25 billion. The fee is limited to a minimum of $20,000 per year.

Pricing and bookkeeping fees, including reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, paid by California Municipal Money Market to FSC for the past three fiscal years are shown in the following table.

<R>DESCRIPTION OF THE TRUST</R>

<R>Trust Organization. California Municipal Money Market and Spartan California Municipal Money Market are funds of Fidelity California Municipal Trust II, an open-end management investment company created under an initial trust instrument dated June 20, 1991. Currently, there are two funds offered in Fidelity California Municipal Trust II: Fidelity California Municipal Money Market Fund and Spartan California Municipal Money Market Fund. The Trustees are permitted to create additional funds in the trust and to create additional classes of the funds.</R>

The assets of the trust received for the issue or sale of shares of each fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof, subject to the rights of creditors, are allocated to such fund, and constitute the underlying assets of such fund. The underlying assets of each fund in the trust shall be charged with the liabilities and expenses attributable to such fund. Any general expenses of the trust shall be allocated between or among any one or more of the funds.

Shareholder Liability. The trust is a <R>statutory trust organized under Delaware law. Delaware law provides that, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Trust Instrument, shareholders shall be entitled to the same limitations of personal liability extended to stockholders of private corporations for profit organized under the general corporation law of Delaware. </R>The courts of some states, however, may decline to apply Delaware law on this point. The Trust Instrument contains an express disclaimer of shareholder liability for the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses of the trust. The Trust Instrument provides that the trust shall not have any claim against shareholders except for the payment of the purchase price of shares and requires that each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the trust or the Trustees relating to the trust or to a fund shall include a provision limiting the obligations created thereby to the trust or to one or more funds and its or their assets. The Trust Instrument further provides that shareholders of a fund shall not have a claim on or right to any assets belonging to any other fund.

The Trust Instrument provides for indemnification out of each fund's property of any shareholder or former shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the fund solely by reason of his or her being or having been a shareholder and not because of his or her acts or omissions or for some other reason. <R>The </R>Trust Instrument also provides that each fund shall, upon request, assume the defense of any claim made against any shareholder for any act or obligation of the fund and satisfy any judgment thereon. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which Delaware law does not apply, no contractual limitation of liability was in effect, and a fund is unable to meet its obligations. FMR believes that, in view of the above, the risk of personal liability to shareholders is extremely remote.

Voting Rights. Each fund's capital consists of shares of beneficial interest. As a shareholder, you are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value you own. The voting rights of shareholders can be changed only by a shareholder vote. Shares may be voted in the aggregate, by fund, and by class.

The shares have no preemptive or conversion rights. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth under the heading "Shareholder Liability" above.

The trust or a fund or a class may be terminated upon the sale of its assets to, or merger with, another open-end management investment company, series, or class thereof, or upon liquidation and distribution of its assets. The Trustees may reorganize, terminate, merge, or sell all or a portion of the assets of the trust or a fund or a class without prior shareholder approval. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the trust, shareholders of each of its funds are entitled to receive the underlying assets of such fund available for distribution. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of a fund or a class, shareholders of that fund or that class are entitled to receive the underlying assets of the fund or class available for distribution.

Custodian. Citibank, N.A., 111 Wall Street, New York, New York, is custodian of the assets of the funds. The custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of a fund's assets and the appointment of any subcustodian banks and clearing agencies.

FMR, its officers and directors, its affiliated companies,<R> Members of the Advisory Board,</R> and Members of the Board of Trustees may, from time to time, conduct transactions with various banks, including banks serving as custodians for certain funds advised by FMR. Transactions that have occurred to date include mortgages and personal and general business loans. In the judgment of FMR, the terms and conditions of those transactions were not influenced by existing or potential custodial or other fund relationships.

Auditor. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, 125 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts, serves as independent accountant for each fund. The auditor examines financial statements for the funds and provides other audit, tax, and related services.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Each fund's financial statements and financial highlights for the fiscal year ended February 29,<R> 2004, </R>and report of the auditor, are included in the fund's annual report and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 24. Trusts Controlled by or under Common Control with this Trust

The Board of Trustees of the Trust is the same as the board of other Fidelity funds, each of which has Fidelity Management & Research Company, or an affiliate, as its investment adviser. In addition, the officers of the Trust are substantially identical to those of the other Fidelity funds. Nonetheless, the Trust takes the position that it is not under common control with other Fidelity funds because the power residing in the respective boards and officers arises as the result of an official position with the respective trusts.

Item 25. Indemnification

Pursuant to Del. Code Ann. title 12 § 3817, a Delaware statutory trust may provide in its governing instrument for the indemnification of its officers and trustees from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever. Article X, Section 10.02 of the Trust Instrument sets forth the reasonable and fair means for determining whether indemnification shall be provided to any past or present Trustee or officer. It states that the Trust shall indemnify any present or past trustee or officer to the fullest extent permitted by law against liability, and all expenses reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which he or she is involved by virtue of his or her service as a trustee or officer and against any amount incurred in settlement thereof. Indemnification will not be provided to a person adjudged by a court or other adjudicatory body to be liable to the Trust or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of his or her duties (collectively, "disabling conduct"), or not to have acted in good faith in the reasonable belief that his or her action was in the best interest of the Trust. In the event of a settlement, no indemnification may be provided unless there has been a determination, as specified in the Trust Instrument, that the officer or trustee did not engage in disabling conduct.

Pursuant to Section 11 of the Distribution Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor and each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Distributor within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any loss, liability, claim, damages or expense (including the reasonable cost of investigating or defending any alleged loss, liability, claim, damages, or expense and reasonable counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) arising by reason of any person acquiring any shares, based upon the ground that the registration statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, shareholder reports or other information filed or made public by the Trust (as from time to time amended) included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements not misleading under the 1933 Act, or any other statute or the common law. However, the Trust does not agree to indemnify the Distributor or hold it harmless to the extent that the statement or omission was made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to the Trust by or on behalf of the Distributor. In no case is the indemnity of the Trust in favor of the Distributor or any person indemnified to be deemed to protect the Distributor or any person against any liability to the Issuer or its security holders to which the Distributor or such person would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

Pursuant to the agreement by which Fidelity Service Company, Inc. ("FSC") is appointed sub-transfer agent, the Transfer Agent agrees to indemnify FSC for FSC's losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) (losses) to the extent that the Transfer Agent is entitled to and receives indemnification from the Fund for the same events. Under the Transfer Agency Agreement, the Trust agrees to indemnify and hold the Transfer Agent harmless against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from:

(1) any claim, demand, action or suit brought by any person other than the Trust, including by a shareholder, which names the Transfer Agent and/or the Trust as a party and is not based on and does not result from the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of duties, and arises out of or in connection with the Transfer Agent's performance under the Transfer Agency Agreement; or

(2) any claim, demand, action or suit (except to the extent contributed to by the Transfer Agent's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence or reckless disregard of its duties) which results from the negligence of the Trust, or from the Transfer Agent's acting upon any instruction(s) reasonably believed by it to have been executed or communicated by any person duly authorized by the Trust, or as a result of the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon advice reasonably believed by the Transfer Agent to have been given by counsel for the Trust, or as a result of the Transfer Agent's acting in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate reasonably believed by it to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by the proper person.
