Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Investment return, net asset value (NAV) and common share market price will fluctuate and trust shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. As a result of recent market activity, current performance may vary from the figures shown. For more up-to-date information, please visit vankampen.com or speak with your financial advisor. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the trust's portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding. The common share market price is the price the market is willing to pay for shares of the trust at a given time. Common share market price is influenced by a range of factors, including supply and demand and market conditions. Total return assumes an investment at the beginning of the period, reinvestment of all distributions for the period in accordance with the trust's dividend reinvestment plan, and sale of all shares at the end of the period. The Lehman Brothers California Municipal Bond Index is a broad-based statistical composite of California municipal bonds. The index is unmanaged and does not include any sales charges or fees. Such costs would lower performance. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. 1 Trust Report FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED APRIL 30, 2004 Van Kampen California Value Municipal Income Trust is managed by the adviser's Municipal Fixed Income team.(1) Current members include Joseph Piraro, Vice President; Robert Wimmel, Vice President; and John Reynoldson, Executive Director. MARKET CONDITIONS The state of the U.S. economy remained mixed over the six-month period under review. On the positive side, economic growth continued to be robust, with Gross Domestic Product growth topping 4 percent in both the last quarter of 2003 and, preliminarily, the first quarter of this year. While this strength in output has historically triggered fears of rising interest rates, yields remained stubbornly low across the municipal curve. These low yields were partly the result of the continued low levels of observed inflation in the U.S. economy. Unfortunately, they also reflected continuing weakness in the job market, which remained soft throughout most of the period. The soft job numbers, coupled with persistently low inflation, led the Federal Open Market Committee (the Fed) to maintain its accommodative stance throughout the period. The surprisingly rapid job growth data released in April, coupled with rapidly rising commodity and high oil prices, led many investors to fear that the Fed would be forced to raise interest rates earlier than the market initially expected. As a result, bond yields across all major sectors spiked in April. Supply of new municipal bonds in calendar 2003 hit record levels as municipalities moved to take advantage of historically low interest rates. Many cities and states sought to reduce expenditures by refinancing existing debt and replacing it with lower-yielding bonds. In other cases, municipalities attempted to meet current and future funding needs by issuing new debt. This activity slowed in the first months of 2004. The low interest rates that prevailed over much of the period also had an impact on the demand for municipal bonds. Retail and institutional investor activity slowed as holders of municipal bonds saw little reason to sell bonds purchased at higher yield levels and reinvest at lower yields. However, the period was marked by rising activity among non-traditional investors, such as hedge funds and insurance companies seeking to take advantage of the attractiveness of municipal bonds relative to some taxable securities. Additionally, investors' search for yield led to significant outperformance by lower-rated bonds with greater credit risk. Sectors such as health care, with a preponderance of lower-rated issues, performed particularly well. (1)Team members may change without notice at any time. 2 California remained in the municipal spotlight during the period, with many investors anxiously awaiting the result of the March 2 referendum on Propositions 57 and 58. These two measures, which voters ultimately approved, gave the green light to roughly $15 billion of economic-improvement bonds that will begin to enter the market in early June. The passage of these measures led the major ratings agencies to increase their outlooks (though not their ratings) for the beleaguered state's bonds, with S&P shifting from stable to positive and Moody's shifting from negative to stable. This surge in issuance will at least partially offset the surprising decline in new debt in the first quarter of 2004, which was one third lower than the first quarter of last year. The majority of debt issued by the state for the entire six-month period offered credit enhancements, with fully two thirds of debt coming to market with credit insurance. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS Closed-end fund returns can be calculated based upon either the market price or the net asset value (NAV) of its shares. NAV per share is determined by dividing the value of the trust's portfolio securities, cash and other assets, less all liabilities, by the total number of common shares outstanding, while market price reflects the supply and demand for the shares. As a result, the two returns can differ significantly. On both an NAV basis and a market-price basis, the trust underperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers California Municipal Bond Index. (See table below.) The trust uses leverage to enhance its dividend to common shareholders. The trust borrows money at short-term rates through the issuance of preferred shares. The proceeds are typically reinvested in longer-term securities, taking advantage of the difference between short- and longer-term rates. As yields rose during the period, the prices of bonds declined. The trust's use of leverage magnified this negative movement, leading to a slightly lower total return at NAV than that of its benchmark, which is not leveraged. Our analysis of the macroeconomic environment, coupled with the levels of interest rates near multi-decade lows, led us to believe that interest rates were more likely to rise than to fall further. As a result, we kept the trust's duration (a measure of interest-rate sensitivity) below that of its benchmark in order to limit the potentially damaging impact of any increase in interest rates.

See Performance Summary for additional performance information and index definition. 3 approach hampered the trust's returns for much of the period as interest rates fell; however, it helped buoy returns when interest rates soared in the final weeks of the period. The trust's performance was also modestly hampered by its bias, relative to the benchmark, toward high-quality securities. Municipal bond investors during the period responded to the improving economy by reducing the yield spreads between higher and lower-rated bonds (yield spreads reflect the premium demanded by investors to buy lower-rated bonds). As a result, lower-quality bonds outperformed. The portfolio had 87.4 percent exposure to bonds rated AA/Aa or higher at the end of the period. We adjusted the portfolio's term structure in anticipation of rising interest rates. Our research showed that the intermediate portion of the curve offered the most promising total-return potential. As a result, we focused our purchases on the 18- to 22-year segment of the curve. Many of the securities we identified had the added appeal of premium coupons and 10-year call dates, which served to add income to the portfolio while limiting its interest-rate exposure. Our trading activity during the period was well below traditional norms because we wanted to avoid having to reinvest into securities with low yields. That said, we were able to make selective relative-value trades among securities and sectors as they moved into and out of fair value. Some of these acquisitions were funded by the proceeds of the sale of prerefunded bonds. In other cases we sold bonds that met their performance objectives during the period. We reinvested this cash into securities with more promising total-return characteristics. The trust's portfolio remained well diversified during the period, with its holdings spread across many major municipal-bond sectors. We believe this long-standing strategy helps to minimize the risk of over-concentration in any single sector, while also giving the portfolio exposure to as many potential sources of return as possible. Our strategy during the period emphasized bonds tied to essential services. The three largest sector exposures at the end of the period were public building, public education and tax districts.

While it is impossible to predict how long this trend will hold, we believe that the trust is well positioned to weather further increases in rates. We look forward to becoming more active in seeking attractive structures and relative-value trading opportunities now that rates have moved into a more normal range. 5 PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES A description of the trust's policies and procedures with respect to the voting of proxies relating to the trust's portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-847-2424.

See Notes to Financial Statements 17 VAN KAMPEN CALIFORNIA VALUE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- APRIL 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) 1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Van Kampen California Value Municipal Income Trust (the "Trust") is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal and California income taxes, consistent with preservation of capital. The Trust will invest in a portfolio consisting substantially of California municipal obligations rated investment grade at the time of investment. The Trust commenced investment operations on April 30, 1993. Effective November 30, 2003, the Trust's investment adviser, Van Kampen Investment Advisory Corp. merged into its affiliate, Van Kampen Asset Management. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A. SECURITY VALUATION Municipal bonds are valued by independent pricing services or dealers using the mean of the bid and asked prices or, in the absence of market quotations, at fair value based upon yield data relating to municipal bonds with similar characteristics and general market conditions. Securities which are not valued by independent pricing services or dealers are valued at fair value using procedures established in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. B. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS Security transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses are determined on an identified cost basis. The Trust may purchase and sell securities on a "when-issued" or "delayed delivery" basis with settlement to occur at a later date. The value of the security so purchased is subject to market fluctuations during this period. The Trust will segregate assets with the custodian having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments until payment is made. At April 30, 2004, the Trust had $1,128,670 of when-issued or delayed delivery purchase commitments. C. INVESTMENT INCOME Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Bond premium is amortized and discount is accreted over the expected life of each applicable security. D. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES It is the Trust's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required. 18 VAN KAMPEN CALIFORNIA VALUE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- APRIL 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) continued At April 30, 2004, the cost and related gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation are as follows: Cost of investments for tax purposes........................ $148,845,125 ============ Gross tax unrealized appreciation........................... $ 8,178,903 Gross tax unrealized depreciation........................... (300,441) ------------ Net tax unrealized appreciation on investments.............. $ 7,878,462 ============
E. DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME AND GAINS The Trust declares and pays monthly dividends from net investment income to common shareholders. Net realized gains, if any, are distributed annually on a pro rata basis to common and preferred shareholders. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains, which are included as ordinary income for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended October 31, 2003 was as follows:
2003 Distributions paid from: Ordinary income............................................. $ 30,797 Long-term capital gain...................................... 456,404 -------- $487,201 ========
As of October 31, 2003, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income............................... $ 226,155 Undistributed long-term capital gain........................ 2,358,331
2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Under the terms of the Trust's Investment Advisory Agreement, Van Kampen Asset Management (the "Adviser") provides investment advice and facilities to the Trust for an annual fee payable monthly of .60% of the average daily net assets of the Trust. In addition, the Trust pays a monthly administrative fee to Van Kampen Investments Inc. or its affiliates (collectively "Van Kampen"), the Trust's Administrator, at an annual rate of .05% of the average daily net assets of the Trust. Effective June 1, 2004, the administrative fee was reduced from .05% to .00%. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $5,200 representing legal services provided by Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, counsel to the Trust, of which a trustee of the Trust is an affiliated person. Under separate Accounting Services and Legal Services agreements, the Adviser provides accounting and legal services to the Trust. The Adviser allocates the cost of such services to each trust. For the six months ended April 30, 2004, the Trust recognized expenses of approximately $14,400 representing Van Kampen's cost of providing accounting and legal 19 VAN KAMPEN CALIFORNIA VALUE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- APRIL 30, 2004 (UNAUDITED) continued services to the Trust, which are reported as part of "Other" and "Legal" expenses, respectively, on the Statement of Operations. Certain officers and trustees of the Trust are also officers and directors of Van Kampen. The Trust does not compensate its officers or trustees who are officers of Van Kampen. The Trust provides deferred compensation and retirement plans for its trustees who are not officers of Van Kampen. Under the deferred compensation plan, trustees may elect to defer all or a portion of their compensation to a later date. Benefits under the retirement plan are payable upon retirement for a ten-year period and are based upon each trustee's years of service to the Trust. The maximum annual benefit per trustee under the plan is $2,500. 3. CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS At April 30, 2004, and October 31, 2003, paid in surplus related to common shares aggregated $88,815,499 and $88,589,917, respectively.

PREFERRED SHARES The Trust has outstanding 2,400 Auction Preferred Shares ("APS"). Dividends are cumulative and the dividend rate is currently reset every seven days through an auction process. The rate in effect on April 30, 2004, was 0.970% and for the six months then ended rates ranged from 0.850% to 2.000%. The Trust pays annual fees equivalent to .25% of the preferred share liquidation value for the remarketing efforts associated with the preferred auctions. These fees are included as a component of "Preferred Share Maintenance" expense in the Statement of Operations. The APS are redeemable at the option of the Trust in whole or in part at the liquidation value of $25,000 per share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends. The Trust is subject to certain asset coverage tests and the APS are subject to mandatory redemption if the tests are not met. 20 VAN KAMPEN CALIFORNIA VALUE MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND IMPORTANT ADDRESSES BOARD OF TRUSTEES DAVID C.
