What makes American Funds different?
Back cover

Figures shown are past results for Class A shares and are not predictive of results in future periods. Current and future results may be lower or higher than those shown. Share prices and returns will vary, so investors may lose money. Investing for short periods makes losses more likely. Investments are not FDIC-insured, nor are they deposits of or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity. For current information and month-end results, visit americanfunds.com. Fund results shown, unless otherwise indicated, are at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 3.75%) had been deducted, the results would have been lower.

Here are the average annual total returns on a $1,000 investment with all distributions reinvested for periods ended June 30, 2006 (the most recent calendar quarter):

The fund’s investment adviser waived 5% of its management fees from September 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005, and increased the waiver to 10% on April 1, 2005. Fund results shown reflect the waiver, without which they would have been lower. Please see the Financial Highlights table on page 21 for details.

The fund’s 30-day yield for Class A shares as of August 31, 2006, calculated in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission formula, was 3.96%, which reflects a fee waiver (3.92% without the fee waiver). (For investors in the 35% tax bracket, this is equivalent to a taxable yield of 6.09%, which reflects the fee waiver — 6.03% without the fee waiver.) The fund’s distribution rate for Class A shares as of that date was 4.29% (4.26% without the fee waiver). Both reflect the 3.75% maximum sales charge. The SEC yield reflects the rate at which the fund is earning income on its current portfolio of securities while the distribution rate reflects the fund’s past dividends paid to shareholders. Accordingly, the fund’s SEC yield and distribution rate may differ.

Results for other share classes can be found on page 23. Please see the inside back cover for important information about other share classes.

The return of principal in bond funds is not guaranteed. Bond funds have the same interest rate, inflation and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds owned by the fund. Income may be subject to state or local income taxes and/or federal alternative minimum taxes. Certain other income, as well as capital gain distributions, may be taxable. High-yield bonds are subject to greater fluctuations in value and risk of loss of income and principal.

Fellow shareholders:

During the past fiscal year, high-yield bonds produced some of the best returns in the municipal market. Strong investor appetite for yield products buoyed results, helping mitigate the effects of higher interest rates.

For the 12 months ended July 31, 2006, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund paid monthly dividends totaling about 69 cents a share. Those who reinvested these dividends recorded an income return of 4.5%, which is equivalent to a taxable return of 6.9% for investors in the 35% tax bracket. Shareholders who elect to take dividends in cash received an income return of 4.4%.

The fund’s total return for the fiscal year amounted to 4.4%. The total return reflects the fund’s income return plus any share price appreciation or depreciation. For the year, the fund’s share price declined one cent. Fund results exceeded the 2.5% return of the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (which measures the investment-grade market and does not include expenses), but fell shy of the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average, which returned 4.6%. Comparative results for longer periods are shown in the table below.

Bond market overview

Bond market returns for the past year have been limited by rising interest rates and inflation concerns. During the year, the Federal Reserve continued to nudge short-term interest rates higher with steady increases to the federal funds target rate. Since June 2004, the Fed has lifted rates 17 times, a quarter point at each of its scheduled meetings, bringing this key overnight lending rate to 5.25% by the end of the fiscal year. These increases have primarily affected short-term bond yields and prices.

The current outlook for bond yields is closely tied to developing inflation pressures. At the August meeting of the Federal Reserve, following the close of the fiscal year, the Fed elected not to raise rates for the first time in two years, but cautioned the market that additional increases may be necessary if inflation remains a problem.

Rising inflation measures have recently become a concern for the Fed and bond investors. Though moderate by historical standards, inflation has been inching higher in recent months, weighing on bond prices. Long-term bond prices are typically more sensitive to inflation pressures than are short-term bond prices.

In the municipal market, yields rose across the maturity spectrum, with short-term bonds posting the largest increases. For the year, returns on short-term municipals were slightly lower than those of intermediate- and long-term debt. Overall, revenue bonds provided higher returns than did general obligation bonds, which are typically higher rated. High-yield bonds benefited from strong investor interest and an improving outlook for key issues backed by airlines and tobacco companies.

How the fund responded

The strength of the municipal high-yield sector both benefited and limited the fund. Improving prices bolstered returns, but the higher prices for many of these securities also made some new issues far less attractive from an historical investment perspective. The potential returns attached to many new high-yield bonds were often quite small when compared to the potential risks, in the estimation of the fund’s analysts and portfolio counselors. This made for a challenging investment environment, and underscores the need for caution and prudence when investing in high-yield securities.

Despite this challenge, the portfolio’s portion of debt rated below investment grade increased to 33.5% from 29.9% last year. At the same time, the portion of AAA-rated debt rose as well, to 18.3% from 14.2%, while the portfolio’s percentages of all other investment-grade bonds declined slightly. The pie chart on page 8 provides a quality breakdown of the portfolio by rating category at fiscal year-end.

Rising interest rates were also a concern for portfolio counselors seeking to limit the effects of lower bond prices. In an effort to preserve shareholder principal, the portfolio counselors began the fiscal year with a somewhat shorter maturity structure for the fund, continuing the defensive investment strategy of the previous year. However, as the year progressed and longer maturity municipal bonds proved less sensitive to the Fed increases, the portfolio counselors began to extend the fund’s maturity structure in an effort to access developing opportunities among longer dated bonds. Some of these opportunities included multifamily housing and tax assessment bonds.

Throughout the period, the fund maintained its diversification, with more than 750 individual holdings. These bonds include issuers from 45 different states and their municipalities, as well as three U.S. territories. It is important to note that the fund’s portfolio is a dynamic entity that changes in response to shifting market conditions and as bonds mature.

Managing for long-term results

Managing risk is an important part of fixed-income investing and is crucial with high-yield debt. The portfolio counselors and analysts of American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund carefully evaluate each bond before it enters the portfolio, weighing its long-term risk/reward potential and its ability to retain value under adverse market conditions. This rigorous screening is an added margin of protection for our shareholders that has helped the fund deliver consistently attractive results over long time periods. To learn more about how the fund manages risk, we encourage you to read our feature article, “How your fund tempers risk,” beginning on page 4.

Over the past year, net assets of the fund increased 17%, while the number of shareholder accounts rose 4%. We take this opportunity to welcome new investors, and we encourage all shareholders not to lose sight of their long-term investment goals. We understand the importance of every dollar you invest with us and strive to make the most of that investment with prudent judgments and comprehensive research. We look forward to discussing the fund’s progress in our next report in six months.

Tax-free yields vs. taxable yields

To use the table below, find your estimated 2006 taxable income to determine your federal tax rate. Then look in the right-hand column to see what you would have had to earn from a taxable investment to equal the fund’s 4.47% tax-free distribution rate in July. For example, investors in the highest federal tax bracket (35%) would need a taxable distribution rate of 6.88% to match the fund’s distribution rate.

The value of a long-term perspective

How a $10,000 investment has grown (for the period September 26, 1994, to July 31, 2006, with dividends reinvested)

There have always been reasons not to invest. If you look beyond the negative headlines, however, you will find that, despite occasional stumbles, financial markets have tended to reward investors over the long term. Active management — bolstered by experience and careful research — can add even more value. As the chart below shows, over its relatively short lifetime, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund at net asset value has done better than the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average.

Fund figures, unless otherwise indicated, reflect deduction of the maximum sales charge of 3.75% on the $10,000 investment.1 Thus, the net amount invested was $9,625.2

How your fund tempers risk

Individual investors are the municipal bond market’s primary customers. Attracted by tax-exempt income and relative stability, households directly owned nearly 40% of the more than $2 trillion municipal bonds outstanding in 2005.

While the risks attached to municipal bonds are generally lower than they are for many taxable bonds, investors should not be lulled into a false sense of security. Municipal bonds are subject to interest rate risk and reinvestment rate risk, as are all bonds. Municipal investors may also have to contend with prepayment risks and liquidity problems. For those investing in high-yield municipal bonds, credit risk becomes a much larger concern, as does price volatility.

Consequently, many prudent individuals invest in high-yield municipal bonds through mutual funds, which have the resources and ability to sift through the huge marketplace to identify the best opportunities. Individual investors are unlikely to have the same level of knowledge of the municipal market, its participants and characteristics. In addition, professional managers may be more attuned to bond market risks and in a better position to manage them.

American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund relies on the collective wisdom of three portfolio counselors, with a combined 57 years of experience, along with a pool of investment analysts who constantly monitor the municipal bond market. In addition, the fund’s investment professionals benefit from the knowledge of their counterparts who cover equity and corporate bond markets, where events can quickly impact the municipal bond market in unexpected ways.

More than meets the eye

Professional management is particularly beneficial where high-yield bonds are concerned. These debt instruments possess elevated risk characteristics that may elude the average investor and imperil the expected return. Many bonds owned by American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, for example, were issued by municipal authorities around the country to fund local construction projects, such as hospital facilities, multifamily housing projects, or waste disposal plants. Although the local authority is the stated issuer, the money raised goes to the underlying entity to cover the capital costs of the projects. In these instances, the companies are able to fund their businesses by borrowing at the lower interest rates available in the municipal bond market. These bonds are often categorized as revenue bonds.

“Most municipal bond issuers will offer an annual report, but the financial statements are often six months old and contain nowhere near the details found in typical corporate disclosure. Moreover, once you have the financials, you have to know how to interpret them.”— Karl Zeile, portfolio counselor
[End Pull Quote]

In addition to sensitivity to interest rate changes, these bonds can be affected in the same way that stocks or bonds issued by corporations are vulnerable to economic cycles or factors such as labor disputes. Explains American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund portfolio counselor Brenda Ellerin, “The quality of these issues depends on the credit strength of the underlying entity, not the municipality in which they are issued. This is one area where we can add tremendous value for shareholders because we have the resources to rigorously evaluate these operating entities.”

Many facets to credit quality

For individual investors, the task of assessing the value of most high-yield municipal bonds is especially onerous. High-yield bonds are often not rated by the leading credit rating agencies, so prospective purchasers must determine the credit risks for themselves. Yet tracking down the relevant information can be as arduous as trying to interpret it. “Most municipal bond issuers will offer an annual report,” says portfolio counselor Karl Zeile, “but the financial statements are often six months old and contain nowhere near the details found in typical corporate disclosure. Moreover, once you have the financials, you have to know how to interpret them.”

Why go it alone?
 
   
In addition to the expertise of experienced portfolio counselors, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund offers compelling advantages over individual municipal bonds:
   
Diversification
American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund’s portfolio includes holdings from 45 states and three territories. This wide diversification allows investors to participate in developments that benefit specific areas while limiting exposure to isolated negative events.
   
Professional management
Three portfolio counselors actively manage the fund’s portfolio to respond to, and take advantage of, changing market conditions.
   
In-depth research
The portfolio counselors are supported by a team of more than 60 fixed-income professionals who help identify opportunities, monitor holdings and develop strategies that help grow and preserve principal.
   
Wider access to
investments
Bond funds often have access to a wider range of securities than do individual investors. In fact, many high-yield municipal bonds are only available to institutional investors.
   
Steady income
The fund has a monthly dividend payment schedule — a regular stream of income — while an individual bond typically pays interest semiannually.
   
Automatic reinvestment
Bond funds offer automatic reinvestment of dividends at net asset value, helping your investment work 24/7 and increasing income over time.
   
Liquidity
Fund shares are easily bought and sold, unlike some bonds, and investors can begin with a minimum investment of just $250. Individual bonds typically require an investment of at least $5,000.
   
Purchase power
Because fund managers buy in large quantities, they can buy bonds at a lower cost than individual investors typically can.

Thorough analysis requires going beyond the numbers in ways that individual investors would likely find daunting. The financial statements often raise further questions that must be addressed by phone calls, meetings with management, on-site inspections and consultations with other investment professionals. Karl adds, “The process may be laborious, but it serves the fund by narrowing our selection to bonds that we believe offer the best long-term value for our shareholders.”

Efficiencies of scale and management

American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund’s fixed-income professionals believe that active management can alleviate some of the risks normally associated with bond investing, helping to preserve principal and maintain a steady stream of interest income. Consequently, they regularly evaluate a range of data that is not normally the focus of individual investors. They monitor the shape of the yield curve and the outlook for yields to better determine which maturities offer the best potential for attractive returns. They pay special attention to the structure of each bond and its covenants (which are detailed in the bond indenture and provide additional safeguards for the bondholders), as these can have a large impact on credit quality and interest rate sensitivity. This continuous surveillance of market conditions and bond indentures allows the portfolio counselors to adjust the fund’s holdings to benefit and protect shareholders.

Calculated risk

Professional managers understand that munis, like all bonds, come with risks that can be managed by careful monitoring of the market and portfolio holdings. American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund’s portfolio counselors have the resources and expertise to conduct the necessary research that can lessen these dangers. Here are the most common types of risk associated with municipal bonds:

Credit risk refers to the ability of a bond issuer to meet the covenants of a bond agreement and to make timely payments of interest and principal. Bond rating agencies, such as Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, assign valuations based on underlying credit risk. Many of the bonds held by American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund are classified as below investment grade and therefore possess relatively higher levels of credit risk.

Default risk is a severe form of credit risk that refers to a pending or actual event of a default. A bond issuer is said to be in default if covenants of the bond agreement have been violated, an interest payment has been missed or if the repayment of principal is in jeopardy.

Interest rate risk is related to the underlying (or macroeconomic) rate environment. Rising interest rates diminish the value of existing bonds. Conversely, declining interest rate cycles tend to raise the value of existing bonds.

Liquidity risk is a threat to bonds that are seldom traded in active markets. As a consequence, the difference between the bid price and the asking price (the dealer’s markup) is usually much greater than is the case for bonds that are “liquid” — for which active markets exist. Often, these bonds are difficult to sell if the holder needs to raise cash. Bonds that are small in size, privately placed or non-rated are most subject to liquidity risk.

Prepayment risk is the possibility that a bond may be redeemed in part or full prior to maturity. When this occurs, the projected cash flow of a bond is altered and that may diminish the expected return. Prepayment risk is usually associated with mortgage-backed bonds or similar collateralized securities.

Reinvestment risk is the inability of a bondholder to reinvest cash flow (the interest payments on a bond) at the same, or higher, yield as the original investment. This is typically the case in a declining interest rate environment and may also result from prepayment risk.

Yield-spread risk refers to the widening of yields between a bond and its pricing benchmark, or widening spreads between rating categories. (The spread is the difference in yields between bonds.) Contagion effects among like classes of debt can drive yield-spread risk. For example, if the particular bonds of one city suffer an event of default, then all bonds associated with that locality — perhaps even those issued by the governing state — may experience spread-widening (higher yields and lower prices) as a result. Market forces, such as supply and demand, may intensify yield-spread risks.

“The quality of these issues depends on the credit strength of the underlying entity, not the municipality in which they are issued. This is one area where we can add tremendous value for shareholders because we have the resources to rigorously evaluate these operating entities.”
— Brenda Ellerin, portfolio counselor
[End Pull Quote]

The fund’s size and professional management offer investors additional benefits not otherwise available to individuals. High-yield bonds are frequently less liquid than higher quality general obligation bonds — which are backed by the full faith and credit of the issuing municipality — and may demand a larger participation size than many individuals can afford. The fund’s portfolio counselors mitigate the effects of illiquidity by limiting exposure to any particular issue and by constantly monitoring the market, which allows them to assess the salability of each issue. Purchasing power plays a key role in adding value for shareholders. Portfolio counselor Neil Langberg explains, “Our transaction costs are much lower than retail investors pay, and we can search the market for the best deals possible.”

The benefits of owning tax-exempt bonds are well understood and appreciated by most investors. However, the risks attached to these securities, particularly higher yielding municipals, are too often overlooked or misunderstood. For that reason, we recommend that when investors reach for yield, they do so with the experience, expertise and diversity that a bond fund can provide.

Portfolio counselors Neil Langberg, Brenda Ellerin and Karl Zeile on the collaborative American Funds municipal bond research process:

Neil: We have a great deal of analytical talent, but that’s only half of the equation. After we determine the credit situation of an individual bond, then it’s a question of whether it’s fairly priced in the marketplace. It’s a blending of analytical talent with market pricing input from our traders and input from other people in the department outside of the municipal area.

Brenda: All the analysts have research portfolios. When they make a bond recommendation, it’s not just based on its quality, but also how it’s priced and whether it’s a good fit for the research portfolio. I think that is really a competitive advantage of American Funds because at most other fund companies, analysts don’t manage money.

Karl: Having worked at American Funds for a few years, I really appreciate the integration of research, not only between our tax-exempt and taxable fixed-income analysts, but also with the equity analysts and the relationships I’ve been able to develop there. Working with the equity and taxable fixed-income analysts has made me a better analyst, and the conversations we have help us all make better decisions.

1.   
Organization and significant accounting policies
 
Organization - American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, Inc. (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as an open-end, diversified management investment company. The fund seeks a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income taxes through a diversified, carefully researched portfolio of higher yielding, lower rated, higher risk municipal bonds. It may invest without limits in bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax.

The fund offers five share classes consisting of four retail share classes and one retirement plan share class. The retirement plan share class (R-5) is sold without any sales charges and does not carry any conversion rights. The fund’s share classes are described below:
 
Share class
Initial sales charge
Contingent deferred sales charge upon redemption
Conversion feature
Class A
Up to 3.75%
None (except 1% for certain redemptions within one year of purchase without an initial sales charge)
None
Class B
None
Declines from 5% to 0% for redemptions within six years of purchase
Class B converts to Class A after eight years
Class C
None
1% for redemptions within one year of purchase
Class C converts to Class F after 10 years
Class F
None
None
None
Class R-5
None
None
None

Holders of all share classes have equal pro rata rights to assets, dividends and liquidation proceeds. Each share class has identical voting rights, except for the exclusive right to vote on matters affecting only its class. Share classes have different fees and expenses ("class-specific fees and expenses"), primarily due to different arrangements for distribution, administrative and shareholder services. Differences in class-specific fees and expenses will result in differences in net investment income and, therefore, the payment of different per-share dividends by each class.

Significant accounting policies - The financial statements have been prepared to comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the fund:

Security valuation - Fixed-income securities, including short-term securities purchased with more than 60 days left to maturity, are valued at prices obtained from an independent pricing service when such prices are available. However, where the investment adviser deems it appropriate, such securities will be valued at the mean quoted bid and asked prices (or bid prices, if asked prices are not available) or at prices for securities of comparable maturity, quality and type. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The value of short-term securities originally purchased with maturities greater than 60 days is determined based on an amortized value to par when they reach 60 days or less remaining to maturity. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the fund to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry, state or region. Securities and other assets for which representative market quotations are not readily available or are considered unreliable are fair valued as determined in good faith under procedures adopted by authority of the fund's board of directors. Various factors may be reviewed in order to make a good faith determination of a security’s fair value. These factors include, but are not limited to, the type and cost of the security; contractual or legal restrictions on resale of the security; relevant financial or business developments of the issuer; actively traded similar or related securities; conversion or exchange rights on the security; related corporate actions; significant events occurring after the close of trading in the security; and changes in overall market conditions.

Security transactions and related investment income - Security transactions are recorded by the fund as of the date the trades are executed with brokers. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined based on the specific identified cost of the securities. In the event a security is purchased with a delayed payment date, the fund will segregate liquid assets sufficient to meet its payment obligations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Market discounts, premiums and original issue discounts on fixed-income securities are amortized daily over the expected life of the security.

Class allocations - Income, fees and expenses (other than class-specific fees and expenses) are allocated daily among the various share classes based on the relative value of their settled shares. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated daily among the various share classes based on their relative net assets. Class-specific fees and expenses, such as distribution, administrative and shareholder services, are charged directly to the respective share class.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders - Dividends paid to shareholders are declared daily after the determination of the fund’s net investment income and are paid to shareholders monthly. Distributions paid to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 
2. Federal income taxation and distributions  

The fund complies with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to mutual funds and intends to distribute substantially all of its net income and net capital gains each year. The fund is not subject to income taxes to the extent taxable income and net capital gains are distributed. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Generally, income earned by the fund is exempt from federal income taxes; however, the fund may earn taxable income from certain investments.

Distributions - Distributions paid to shareholders are based on net investment income and net realized gains determined on a tax basis, which may differ from net investment income and net realized gains for financial reporting purposes. These differences are due primarily to differing treatment for items such as short-term capital gains and losses; net capital losses; and amortization of market discounts. The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the fund for financial reporting purposes.

During the year ended July 31, 2006, the fund reclassified $139,000 to accumulated net realized loss and $529,000 to capital paid in on shares of capital stock from undistributed net investment income to align financial reporting with tax reporting. 

As of July 31, 2006, the components of distributable earnings, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investments on a tax basis were as follows:

3. Fees and transactions with related parties

Capital Research and Management Company ("CRMC"), the fund’s investment adviser, is the parent company of American Funds Service Company SM ("AFS"), the fund’s transfer agent, and American Funds Distributors, Inc.SM ("AFD"), the principal underwriter of the fund’s shares.

Investment advisory services - The Investment Advisory and Service Agreement with CRMC provides for monthly fees accrued daily. These fees are based on a declining series of annual rates beginning with 0.30% on the first $60 million of daily net assets and decreasing to 0.15% on such assets in excess of $3 billion. The agreement also provides for monthly fees, accrued daily, of 3.00% on the first $3,333,333 of the fund's monthly gross income and 2.50% on such income in excess of $3,333,333. CRMC is currently waiving 10% of investment advisory services fees. During the year ended July 31, 2006, total investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $600,000. As a result, the fee shown on the accompanying financial statements of $6,000,000, which was equivalent to an annualized rate of 0.339%, was reduced to $5,400,000, or 0.306% of average daily net assets.

Class-specific fees and expenses - Expenses that are specific to individual share classes are accrued directly to the respective share class. The principal class-specific fees and expenses are described below: 

Distribution services - The fund has adopted plans of distribution for all share classes, except Class R-5. Under the plans, the board of directors approves certain categories of expenses that are used to finance activities primarily intended to sell fund shares and service existing accounts. The plans provide for payments, based on an annualized percentage of average daily net assets, ranging from 0.30% to 1.00% as noted below. In some cases, the board of directors has limited the amounts that may be paid to less than the maximum allowed by the plans. All share classes may use up to 0.25% of average daily net assets to pay service fees, or to compensate AFD for paying service fees, to firms that have entered into agreements with AFD to provide certain shareholder services. The remaining amounts available to be paid under each plan are paid to dealers to compensate them for their sales activities.

For Class A, the board of directors has also approved the reimbursement of dealer and wholesaler commissions paid by AFD for certain shares sold without a sales charge. This class reimburses AFD for amounts billed within the prior 15 months but only to the extent that the overall annual expense limit of 0.30% is not exceeded. As of July 31, 2006, there were no unreimbursed expenses subject to reimbursement for Class A.

Transfer agent services - The fund has a transfer agent agreement with AFS for Class A and B. Under this agreement, these share classes compensate AFS for transfer agent services including shareholder recordkeeping, communications and transaction processing. AFS is also compensated for certain transfer agent services provided to all other share classes from the administrative services fees paid to CRMC described below.

Administrative services - The fund has an administrative services agreement with CRMC to provide transfer agent and other related shareholder services for all share classes other than Class A and B. Each relevant share class pays CRMC annual fees up to 0.15% (0.10% for Class R-5) based on its respective average daily net assets. Each relevant share class also pays AFS additional amounts for certain transfer agent services. CRMC and AFS may use these fees to compensate third parties for performing these services.

Deferred directors’ compensation - Since the adoption of the deferred compensation plan in 1994, directors who are unaffiliated with CRMC may elect to defer the cash payment of part or all of their compensation. These deferred amounts, which remain as liabilities of the fund, are treated as if invested in shares of the fund or other American Funds. These amounts represent general, unsecured liabilities of the fund and vary according to the total returns of the selected funds. Directors’ compensation of $48,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $40,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase of $8,000 in the value of the deferred amounts.

Affiliated officers and directors - Officers and certain directors of the fund are or may be considered to be affiliated with CRMC, AFS and AFD. No affiliated officers or directors received any compensation directly from the fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, Inc.:


In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the summary investment portfolio, and the related statements of operations and changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund (the "Fund") at July 31, 2006, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fund's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities owned at July 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The fund’s investment adviser waived 5% of its management fees from September 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005, and increased the waiver to 10% on April 1, 2005. Fund results shown reflect the waiver, without which they would have been lower. Please see the Financial Highlights table on page 21 for details.

*These shares are sold without any initial or contingent deferred sales charge.
 

 
Expense example                                                                                        unaudited
 
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs such as initial sales charges on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions (loads); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service (12b-1) fees; and other expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2006, through July 31, 2006).
 
Actual expenses:
 
The first line of each share class in the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor, and Class F shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.
 
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:
 
The second line of each share class in the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed rate of return of 5.00% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5.00% hypothetical example with the 5.00% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. There are some account fees that are charged to certain types of accounts, such as Individual Retirement Accounts (generally, a $10 fee is charged to set up the account and an additional $10 fee is charged to the account annually) that would increase the amount of expenses paid on your account. In addition, retirement plan participants may be subject to certain fees charged by the plan sponsor, and Class F shareholders may be subject to fees charged by financial intermediaries, typically ranging from 0.75% to 1.50% of assets annually depending on services offered. You can estimate the impact of these fees by adding the amount of the fees to the total estimated expenses you paid on your account during the period as calculated above. In addition, your ending account value would also be lower by the amount of these fees.
 
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads). Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Approval of Investment Advisory and Service Agreement

The fund’s board has approved the fund’s Investment Advisory and Service Agreement (the “agreement”) with Capital Research and Management Company (“CRMC”) for an additional one-year term through May 31, 2007. The board approved the agreement following the recommendation of the fund’s Contracts Committee (the “committee”), which is composed of all of the fund’s independent board members. The information, material facts and conclusions that formed the basis for the committee’s recommendation and the board’s subsequent approval are described below.

1. Information reviewed

Materials reviewed — During the course of each year, board members review a wide variety of materials relating to the services provided by CRMC, including reports on the fund’s investment results, portfolio composition, portfolio trading practices, shareholder services, and other information relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided by CRMC to the fund. In addition, the committee requests and reviews supplementary information that includes extensive materials regarding the fund’s investment results, advisory fee and expense comparisons, financial and profitability information regarding CRMC, descriptions of various functions such as compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and information about the personnel providing investment management and administrative services to the fund.

Review process — The committee received assistance and advice regarding legal and industry standards from independent counsel to the board. The committee discussed the approval of the agreement with CRMC representatives and in a private session with counsel at which no representatives of CRMC were present. In deciding to recommend approval of the agreement, the committee did not identify any single issue or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor. This summary describes the most important, but not all, of the factors considered by the board and the committee.

2. Nature, extent and quality of services

CRMC, its personnel and its resources — The board and the committee considered the depth and quality of CRMC’s investment management process, including its global research capabilities; the experience, capability and integrity of its senior management and other personnel; the low turnover rates of its key personnel; the overall financial strength and stability of its organization; and the ability of its organizational structure to address the recent growth in assets under management. The board and the committee also considered that CRMC made available to its investment professionals a variety of resources and systems relating to investment management, compliance, trading, investment results and portfolio accounting. They considered CRMC’s commitment to investing in information technology supporting investment management and compliance. They further considered CRMC’s continuing need to attract and retain qualified personnel and to maintain and enhance its resources and systems. The board and the committee also considered the benefits to fund shareholders from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds offering a variety of investment objectives.

Other services — The board and the committee considered CRMC’s policies, procedures and systems designed to comply with applicable laws and regulations and its commitment to compliance; its efforts to keep the board members informed; and its attention to matters that may involve potential conflicts of interest with the fund. The board and the committee also considered the nature, extent, quality and cost of administrative, distribution and shareholder services provided by CRMC to the fund under the agreement and other agreements, including the information technology, legal, and fund accounting and treasury functions.

3. Investment results

The board and the committee considered the investment results of the fund in light of its objective of providing high current income exempt from regular federal income tax. They compared the fund’s total returns with the total returns of the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Index (the Lipper category that includes the fund), the averages of the funds included in the index each year, and the Lehman Non-Investment Grade Municipal Bond Index (another relevant index given the composition of the fund’s investment portfolio). The board and the committee noted that for the 10-year period ended December 31, 2005, the fund’s investment results were at or above these Lipper measures, but that its investment results lagged these measures for the three- and five-year periods ended on that date and were below the Lehman index for the 10-year period. The board and the committee further noted that the fund’s short-term results had been affected by its higher portfolio quality and substantial cash flows compared to those of its peers, as well as by its lack of leverage compared to many of its highest performing peers. The board and the committee observed that an additional experienced analyst had recently been added to the fund’s research team, and that CRMC was seeking to add another analyst as well.

4. Advisory fees and total expenses

The board and the committee reviewed the advisory fees and total expenses of the fund (each as a percentage of average net assets) and compared such amounts with the median fee and expense levels of all other funds currently in the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Index and the funds included in the index for the 10-year period ended July 31, 2005. The board and the committee observed that the fund’s advisory fees (as a percentage of average net assets) were well below the median fee levels of the other funds for the entire period, and that its total expenses (as a percentage of average net assets) were below the median levels of the other funds for the last eight years of the period. The board and the committee also noted that the 5% advisory fee waiver that CRMC put into effect in September 2004 was increased to 10% on April 1, 2005.

The board and the committee also reviewed information regarding the advisory fees paid by institutional clients of an affiliate of CRMC with similar investment mandates. They noted that, although the fees paid by those clients generally were lower than those paid by the American Funds, these differences reflected the significant investment, operational and regulatory differences between advising mutual funds and institutional clients.

5. Adviser financial information

The board and the committee reviewed information regarding CRMC’s costs of providing services to the American Funds, as well as the resulting level of profits to CRMC, comparing those to the reported results of several large, publicly held investment management companies. The committee also received information during the past year regarding the structure and manner in which CRMC’s investment professionals were compensated and CRMC’s view of the relationship of such compensation to the attraction and retention of quality personnel. The board and the committee considered CRMC’s willingness to invest in technology, infrastructure and staff to reinforce and offer new services and to accommodate changing regulatory requirements. They further considered that breakpoint discounts in the fund’s advisory fee structure reduce the level of fees charged by CRMC to the fund as fund assets increase. They also considered the impact of the current 10% advisory fee waiver.

6. Ancillary benefits

The board and the committee considered a variety of other benefits received by CRMC and its affiliates as a result of CRMC’s relationship with the fund and the other American Funds, including fees for administrative services provided to certain share classes; fees paid to CRMC’s affiliated transfer agent; sales charges and distribution fees received and retained by the fund’s principal underwriter, an affiliate of CRMC; and possible ancillary benefits to CRMC’s institutional management affiliates. The board and the committee reviewed CRMC’s portfolio trading practices, noting that while CRMC receives the benefit of research provided by broker-dealers executing portfolio transactions on behalf of the fund, it does not obtain third-party research or other services in return for allocating brokerage to such broker-dealers.

7. Conclusions

Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the board and the committee concluded that the agreement is fair and reasonable to the fund and its shareholders, that the fund’s shareholders receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the fund, that each of the factors discussed above supported approval of the agreement, and that approval of the agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.

There are several ways to invest in American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund. Class A shares are subject to a 3.75% maximum up-front sales charge that declines for accounts (and aggregated investments) of $100,000 or more and is eliminated for purchases of $1 million or more. Other share classes have no up-front sales charges but are subject to additional annual expenses and fees. Annual expenses for Class B shares were 0.72 percentage points higher than for Class A shares; Class B shares convert to Class A shares after eight years of ownership. If redeemed within six years, Class B shares may also be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of up to 5% that declines over time. Class C shares were subject to annual expenses 0.77 percentage points higher than those for Class A shares and a 1% CDSC if redeemed within the first year after purchase. Class C shares convert to Class F shares after 10 years. Class F shares, which are available only through certain fee-based programs offered by broker-dealer firms and registered investment advisers, had higher annual expenses (by 0.03 percentage points) than did Class A shares, and an annual asset-based fee charged by the sponsoring firm. Expenses are deducted from income earned by the fund. As a result, dividends and investment results will differ for each share class.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the American Funds. This and other important information is contained in the fund’s prospectus, which can be obtained from your financial adviser and should be read carefully before investing. You may also call American Funds Service Company (AFS) at 800/421-0180 or visit the American Funds website at americanfunds.com.

“American Funds Proxy Voting Guidelines” — which describes how we vote proxies relating to portfolio securities — is available free of charge on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov, on the American Funds website or upon request by calling AFS. The fund files its proxy voting record with the SEC for the 12 months ended June 30 by August 31. The report also is available on the SEC and American Funds websites.

A complete July 31, 2006, portfolio of American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund’s investments is available free of charge by calling AFS or visiting the SEC website (where it is part of Form N-CSR).

American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund files a complete list of its portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. This filing is available free of charge on the SEC website. You may also review or, for a fee, copy this filing at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. (800/SEC-0330). Additionally, the list of portfolio holdings also is available by calling AFS.

This report is for the information of shareholders of American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund, but it may also be used as sales literature when preceded or accompanied by the current prospectus, which gives details about charges, expenses, investment objectives and operating policies of the fund. If used as sales material after September 30, 2006, this report must be accompanied by an American Funds statistical update for the most recently completed calendar quarter.

ITEM 2 - Code of Ethics

The Registrant has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer. The Registrant undertakes to provide to any person without charge, upon request, a copy of the Code of Ethics. Such request can be made to American Funds Service Company at 800/421-0180 or to the Secretary of the Registrant, 333 South Hope Street, Los Angeles, California 90071.


ITEM 3 - Audit Committee Financial Expert

The Registrant’s Board has determined that Richard G. Newman, a member of the Registrant’s Audit Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” and "independent," as such terms are defined in this Item. This designation will not increase the designee’s duties, obligations or liability as compared to his or her duties, obligations and liability as a member of the Audit Committee and of the Board, nor will it reduce the responsibility of the other Audit Committee members. There may be other individuals who, through education or experience, would qualify as "audit committee financial experts" if the Board had designated them as such. Most importantly, the Board believes each member of the Audit Committee contributes significantly to the effective oversight of the Registrant’s financial statements and condition.

The Registrant’s Audit Committee will pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services that the Committee considers compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence. The pre-approval requirement will extend to all non-audit services provided to the Registrant, the investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant. The Committee will not delegate its responsibility to pre-approve these services to the investment adviser. The Committee may delegate to one or more Committee members the authority to review and pre-approve audit and permissible non-audit services. Actions taken under any such delegation will be reported to the full Committee at its next meeting. The pre-approval requirement is waived with respect to non-audit services if certain conditions are met. The pre-approval requirement was not waived for any of the non-audit services listed above provided to the Registrant, adviser, and affiliates.

Aggregate non-audit fees paid to the Registrant’s auditors, including fees for all services billed to the Registrant and the adviser and affiliates that provide ongoing services to the Registrant were $6,000 for fiscal year 2005 and $33,000 for fiscal year 2006. The non-audit services represented by these amounts were brought to the attention of the Committee and considered to be compatible with maintaining the auditors’ independence.

ITEM 7 - Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.


ITEM 8 - Portfolio Managers of Closed-End Management Investment Companies

ITEM 9 - Purchases of Equity Securities by Closed-End Management Investment Company and Affiliated Purchasers

Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.


ITEM 10 - Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Registrant’s Board of Directors since the Registrant last submitted a proxy statement to its shareholders. The procedures are as follows. The Registrant has a Nominating and Governance Committee comprised solely of persons who are not considered ‘‘interested persons’’ of the Registrant within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The committee periodically reviews such issues as the Board’s composition, responsibilities, committees, compensation and other relevant issues, and recommends any appropriate changes to the full Board of Directors. While the committee normally is able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates, it will consider shareholder suggestions of persons to be considered as nominees to fill future vacancies on the Board. Such suggestions must be sent in writing to the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Registrant, c/o the Registrant’s Secretary, and must be accompanied by complete biographical and occupational data on the prospective nominee, along with a written consent of the prospective nominee for consideration of his or her name by the Nominating and Governance Committee.

 
ITEM 11 - Controls and Procedures

(a)
The Registrant’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of the Registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 30a-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940), that such controls and procedures are adequate and reasonably designed to achieve the purposes described in paragraph (c) of such rule.
   
(b)
There were no changes in the Registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 30a-3(d) under the Investment Company Act of 1940) that occurred during the Registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
