What makes American Funds different? | back cover |
Fund results shown in this report, unless otherwise indicated, are for Class A shares at net asset value. If a sales charge (maximum 3.75%) had been deducted, the results would have been lower. Results are for past periods and are not predictive of results for 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.
Here are the average annual total returns on a $1,000 investment with all distributions reinvested for periods ended June 30, 2007 (the most recent calendar quarter end):
1 year | 5 years | 10 years | |
Class A shares | |||
Reflecting 3.75% maximum sales charge | +1.16% | +4.36% | +4.78% |
The total annual fund operating expense ratio for Class A shares as of the most recent fiscal year-end was 0.70%. This figure does not reflect a fee waiver currently in effect; therefore, the actual expense ratio is lower.
The fund’s investment adviser waived 5% of its management fees from September 1, 2004, through March 31, 2005, and increased it to 10% on April 1, 2005. Fund results shown reflect actual expenses, with the waiver applied. Fund results would have been lower without the waiver. Please see the Financial Highlights table on page 22 for details.
The fund’s 30-day yield for Class A shares as of August 31, 2007, calculated in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission formula, was 4.22% (4.19% without the fee waiver). (For investors in the 35% tax bracket, this is equivalent to a taxable yield of 6.49% — 6.45% without the fee waiver.) The fund’s distribution rate for Class A shares as of that date was 4.42% (4.39% 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 24.
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:
After a strong start, the recent fiscal year ended with a weaker tone in the municipal bond market. Nonetheless, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund continued to deliver a high level of tax-free income for its shareholders.
For the 12 months ended July 31, 2007, shareholders received monthly dividends totaling about 70 cents a share. Those who reinvested these dividends recorded an income return of 4.6%, which is equivalent to a taxable return of 7.1% for investors in the 35% tax bracket. Shareholders who elected to take dividends in cash received an income return of 4.5%, which is equivalent to a taxable return of 6.9% for investors in the 35% tax bracket.
Bond market weakness led to a modest decline in the fund’s share price for the year, from $15.60 to $15.54. As a result, the fund’s total return for the year, 4.1%, was lower than its income return. In comparison, the unmanaged Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index (which measures the investment-grade market and does not include expenses) posted a total return of 4.3%, while the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average returned 4.4%.
Bond market overview
The high-yield municipal market enjoyed a period of relative strength for the first nine months of the fiscal year. During this time, market yields trended lower, pushing bond prices higher. Though most bonds rose in value, longer maturity bonds generally experienced larger gains than did short-term bonds. In addition, lower rated, higher yielding bonds benefited from strong investor appetite and, consequently, posted bigger gains than did high-quality bonds.
During the latter part of the fiscal year, which ended July 31, shifting investor expectations prompted an upturn in market yields and a higher level of volatility. This turnabout came as hopes for lower interest rates were quashed by indications of sustained strength in the U.S. economy. Many had feared that troubles in the housing market and weak growth in the first quarter of 2007 could translate into an economic slump going forward, thereby inducing a rate cut from the Federal Reserve. Bond prices retreated in May and June as these rate expectations temporarily faded. (Renewed hopes for a rate cut emerged in August as lending conditions tightened further.)
In general, high-quality bonds fared better during the fund’s final quarter than did high-yield bonds. By the close of the fiscal year, benchmark yields in the municipal market had largely returned to the very levels where they began the year.
How the fund responded
The portfolio counselors of American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund seek long-term investment opportunities with the potential to deliver attractive income for shareholders. Often, this entails looking beyond short-term trends and market fluctuations to uncover investments capable of providing lasting value for the fund.

For much of the past year, rising prices were driven by investors clamoring for high-yielding municipals. The fund’s portfolio counselors believed that this momentum could not be sustained and grew concerned that investors might not be adequately compensated for the potential risks attached to some of these bonds.
Nonetheless, portfolio counselors found pockets of attractive opportunities in the health care sector, and the fund added to investments in hospitals and senior living facilities. Overall, the fund increased its weighting slightly in non investment-grade bonds to 36.7% of portfolio assets from 33.5%.
At the same time, the fund’s counselors sought to buffer the fund against a potential market downturn by adding a bit more credit quality to the portfolio. As a result, the fund increased its weighting in AAA-rated bonds (those with the highest credit ratings) over the course of the fiscal year to 20.5% from 18.3%. Weightings in all other investment-grade categories declined. The pie chart atop the summary portfolio, which begins on page 9, shows the credit quality mix of the portfolio at the end of the fiscal year.
Looking ahead
Stock and bond markets both have experienced high levels of volatility in the weeks surrounding the close of the fiscal year. Lower quality bonds, in particular, have seen diminished investor interest and significantly lower prices. This volatility is a reminder of the potential risks involved in high-yield investing and reaffirms the need to invest prudently and maintain a long-term perspective on all investments.
Our feature article beginning on page 4, “Looking beyond yields,” serves as a primer to the high-yield municipal market. More importantly, it discusses the necessity of delving beyond yields and ratings when investing in riskier securities.
Finally, we take this opportunity to thank you for your continued interest in American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund. We are pleased to be part of your investment portfolio, and we continue to strive to deliver solid tax-free income while minimizing the risks to your principal.

The value of a long-term perspective
How a $10,000 investment has grown (for the period September 26, 1994, to July 31, 2007, 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 lifetime, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund has done better than the Lipper High-Yield Municipal Debt Funds Average.
Fund results shown, 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

Looking beyond yields
As its name suggests, American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund provides access to higher yielding municipal bonds. This subset of the broader municipal bond market offers enticing yields that are often coupled with elevated risks and obscure pitfalls. Yet over the past few years, these bonds have attracted enormous demand that has boosted prices considerably. So what exactly is everyone buying?
All too often, investors buy the yield, but pay scant attention to the risks. This tends to happen when interest rates are low, demand is high, money is easy to come by and good times dim the lessons of difficult markets.
In this article, we aim to shed some light on the multifaceted world of higher yielding municipals, examine some of the characteristics that distinguish this sector from its high-quality kin, and touch on some of the changes that have occurred over the past decade. In the process, we hope that you might gain a better appreciation of our research efforts and how professional management serves the fund and its shareholders.
Yields are relative
Municipal bonds tend to share some, but not all, of the characteristics of the much larger universe of taxable bonds. Much of this distinction owes to the tax exemption that most municipal bonds enjoy, which results in yield levels that are typically lower than most of the taxable market. Consequently, municipal bonds trade off their own benchmark — the MMD (Municipal Market Data) yield curve — and are not priced off Treasuries, as are most taxable bonds.
In the municipal world, what distinguishes high yield from high quality is more than yield differences. It involves credit quality of the bond and/or its issuer and the degree of risk, both quantifiable and subjective, attached to both. These factors influence the market’s perception of a bond’s relative value and, hence, its yield and price.
Rating agencies, such as Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s, assign a letter grade to bonds that attempts to measure and codify the risks involved (see table at right). Technically speaking, high-yield bonds are those rated below investment grade: Ba1/BB+ or lower. Practically speaking, high-yield municipals may also include lower categories of investment-grade ratings, as well as a large number of bonds that are not rated. When searching for yield opportunities, the fund’s portfolio counselors and analysts consider both investment-grade and below investment-grade choices.
Ratings are optional
Many people do not realize that issuers must pay for their bond credit ratings. In the municipal market, some issuers forgo agency ratings because of the cost, the size of the deal or the expectation that the rating may not accurately reflect the credit quality of the bond or issuer. This is most likely to occur with issues that are small in size and with issuers that have limited borrowing needs, meaning they rarely come to market.

“While the analyses we do can sometimes be very involved, it really all comes down to one simple question: Are wegetting paid enough to assume the risks attached to the bond?”
— Neil Langberg, portfolio counselor

The municipal market contains a surprising number of such issuers. While a precise measure of the size of the non-rated market is hard to obtain, our own analysts speculate that more than 50% of high-yield municipal debt issues may be unrated.
More often than not, dedicated high-yield buyers must do their own credit research. Even when agency ratings are available, they should not be blindly regarded as definitive. Agency ratings do not always adequately predict a decline in credit quality, and the markets often react more swiftly than the agencies when an issuer encounters difficulties.
Research beyond ratings
Agency ratings assess relative credit quality and the likelihood that an issuer will make timely payments of interest and principal. These ratings are based on proprietary credit metrics and expert assumptions. Yet rating agencies are not bond buyers, and dedicated buyers tend to look at things a bit differently.
The analysts and portfolio counselors of American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund consider agency ratings, where they exist, but also do extensive risk evaluations of their own. Like agencies, they assess the likelihood of default (a worst-case scenario), but they also weigh other factors that could affect the value of the bond over time. Some of these factors include interest rate sensitivity, prepayment risk, economic sensitivity and the expected liquidity of the security. Portfolio counselor Brenda Ellerin explains, “Understanding the credit quality is important, but we also try to evaluate the bond’s long-term upside potential as well as any downside risks when market conditions change.”

Most high-yielding municipal bonds are revenue dependent, which means they rely on the health of a specific project or business activity to keep debt payments current. The range of issuers is wide and varies over time; they include some hospitals, airline facilities, nursing homes, waste-to-energy plants, toll roads, residential developments and educational institutions. Understanding the array of risks involved in these bonds requires a comprehensive understanding of the business conditions surrounding each of these issuers at any given time.
The fund’s portfolio counselors and analysts regularly consult with Capital Research and Management Company’s taxable fixed-income and equity analysts to develop a deeper understanding of the businesses associated with these bonds. Additionally, they work with Capital’s economists, quantitative analysts and municipal bond traders to evaluate external factors that may affect the bonds and the broader fixed-income markets. By tapping these resources, counselors and analysts develop a clearer picture of the risks associated with the bonds they consider.
Portfolio counselor Neil Langberg aptly summarizes our research approach. “While the analyses we do can sometimes be very involved, it really all comes down to one simple question: Are we getting paid enough to assume the risks attached to the bond?” If the answer is no, we avoid the bonds.
Changing perceptions of risk
Investor perceptions of risk change over time and are influenced by economic conditions, the interest rate outlook, changes to the financial health of the issuer, and those elemental market forces — supply and demand. One closely watched barometer of change is the bond’s spread, which measures the yield differential between a bond and its benchmark. To learn more about spreads, see the sidebar, “Spreads: How the market prices risk.”
[Begin Sidebar]
Spreads: How the market prices risk
In the municipal market, MMD (Municipal Market Data) yields serve as the basis for most other bond yields. MMD yields for the highest quality (AAA-rated) general obligation bonds with maturities of one to 30 years function as the primary benchmark. The yield difference between any municipal and this corresponding MMD reference (using proximate maturity dates) is the spread, or risk premium, ascribed to the bond.
Market professionals refer to a bond’s spread in basis points — hundredths of a percentage point. If a bond trades “50 off,” for example, its yield would be 50 basis points (half a percent) higher than the MMD benchmark. If the MMD benchmark yield was 4.07%, then the bond in question would yield 4.57%.
Numerous factors influence a bond’s spread, though credit quality often is the most important. Lower rated bonds typically trade at wider spreads to compensate investors for the added risk of the weaker credit quality. Apart from creditworthiness, spreads may be influenced by a bond’s structure and/or external forces. For example, protective covenants may lead to a tighter spread on one bond, while the lack of covenants could warrant wider spreads for another, otherwise similar bond. Industry-specific news or events may also serve to tighten or widen spreads on bonds associated with that industry. Our sidebar on hospital bonds (page 8) offers an example. Additionally, changes in market sentiment, such as we’ve recently experienced, can have a sweeping influence on spread relationships throughout the bond market, with little regard for the fundamental credit profile of individual bonds or issuers.
Over time, spread relationships within the bond market vary considerably, reflecting the market’s shifting perceptions of risk. In general, bond spreads are tightest when times are good — when the economy is growing, credit is relatively easy to obtain, and there is a solid demand for income-producing securities. In contrast, spreads tend to widen when times are difficult, as they did during the recession earlier this decade. Carefully monitoring spread relationships across the maturity spectrum, rating categories and among sectors and industries helps the fund’s portfolio counselors to identify anomalies that may lead to long-term investment opportunities for the fund.

“Where we can add value is by identifying spread anomalies in the market and by doing the research necessary to determine if those spread differences are justified or not.”
— Karl Zeile, portfolio counselor
[End Pull Quote]
Spread changes may occur all at once, or gradually. They may affect a single bond or an entire sector of the market. Abrupt changes in a bond’s spread are usually the result of a positive or negative event — a rating upgrade or downgrade, for example. Entire sectors may be impacted by adverse industry developments, as was the case with airlines following the events of September 11. In other instances, spreads may tighten gradually as the underlying financial condition of the issuer strengthens; this is often the case with municipal tax assessment bonds.
Higher yielding bonds by definition trade at wider spreads to their benchmarks than do high-quality bonds. Market professionals carefully monitor spread movements and relationships to gauge the relative attractiveness of a particular issue. If two bonds have similar credit characteristics and features (coupon, call provisions and maturity), they may have similar spreads, as well. If not, the one with the wider spread could offer a more attractive investment opportunity, pending a further examination of its intrinsic risks. Portfolio counselor Karl Zeile points out, “Where we can add value is by identifying spread anomalies in the market and by doing the research necessary to determine if those spread differences are justified or not.” These determinations require extensive market knowledge and a solid grasp of historical spread relationships both within and among the various sectors of the market.
In recent years, spread relationships have narrowed significantly, even as municipal issuance has hit record levels. A hunger for yield drove spreads on higher yielding municipals to some of the tightest levels seen this decade. Consequently, the fund’s portfolio counselors became more defensive buyers, selectively bolstering the portfolio with high-quality bonds. When the bond market begins to reprice risk (i.e., when spreads begin to widen), higher quality bonds are more likely to retain more of their value than lower quality bonds. The fund’s counselors recognize the cyclical nature of spread relationships and actively manage the portfolio with an eye to preserving principal.
Looking past yields to returns
Much has changed in the municipal market since American High-Income Municipal Bond Fund was launched some 13 years ago. Yields in general are much lower today, while the number of municipal issuers has increased substantially. So, too, has the field of investors, which at times includes non-traditional buyers such as hedge funds and international investors. At the security level, the bonds have become more complicated as many adopt the complex and innovative structures more commonly found in the taxable bond market. At the same time, covenants meant to protect the bondholder are weaker and scarcer, elevating risk potential.

“Understanding the credit quality is important, but we also try to evaluate the bond’s long-term upside potential as well as any downside risks when market conditions change.”

While these changes have altered the landscape of the municipal market, they have not altered our fundamental approach to high-yield investing — careful research. Looking beyond yields helps the fund’s portfolio counselors to identify the bonds and issuers that are most appropriate for long-term investors: bonds with limited downside risks, and bonds with some upside potential. Where the risks are large, we look for rewards large enough to make the risks palatable; otherwise, we look elsewhere. Over time, this approach has served the fund’s shareholders by providing a high level of tax-exempt income with a level of risk that meets shareholders’ long-term goals.

Hospitals: changing fortunes, changing spreads
The hospital sector has been an important source of higher yielding investments for the fund since its inception. Over time, hospital yields have fluctuated in response to changing fundamentals and investor perceptions of risk. This story focuses on one hospital issuer and an event that rattled the entire high-yield municipal market.
In July 1998, Allegheny Health, Education and Research Foundation, a major Pennsylvania hospital chain, filed for bankruptcy. More than $100 million in bonds were directly affected. Other hospital holdings were tarnished by this event, which caused spreads to widen dramatically throughout the sector. In many cases, spreads doubled. This was a classic case of contagion fears, which periodically impact certain market sectors or industries (autos and airlines are two other recent examples), particularly those where the credit risks are elevated.
Following an extensive reorganization and restructuring, Alleghany returned to the municipal market in 2000 under the name West Penn Alleghany Health System. The entity issued $430 million of new bonds to help fund its turnaround. The new bonds were priced about 400 basis points off their benchmark. At the time, the new bonds were rated B1 by Moody’s and B+ by Standard & Poor’s.
Since then, the broader hospital sector has improved measurably, both fundamentally and in market valuations. By 2007, spreads broadly returned to pre-1998 levels. As a result, West Penn Alleghany returned to the market this spring to issue debt to refund the 2000 issue. The 2007 bonds posted maturities from 2009 to 2041 and spreads that ranged from 90 to 102 basis points over the MMD curve — significantly narrower than spreads they received on the 2000 bond deal. Credit ratings were also better: Moody’s rated the new bonds Ba2, while Standard & Poor’s rated them BB. In this improved environment, the once-tarnished issuer met with overwhelming demand, and the deal was heavily oversubscribed.
Yet fundamentals alone do not govern spreads. Shortly after this recent issuance, bond investors became more risk averse, and spreads widened again — not only on these bonds or hospital bonds generally, but more broadly for all bonds regarded as high-yield investments.

Like many hospital stories, West Penn Alleghany is a tale of changing fortunes — one that continues to evolve. It is also a portrait of how yield spreads fluctuate over time, reflecting changing fundamentals and perceptions of risk. For those with deep market experience, the hospital is a reminder of the potential pitfalls that high-yield investors face and of the vital importance of looking beyond yields and ratings to determine whether a bond investment is worth the risk or not.

Notes to financial statements
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 by the investment adviser 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. Generally, income earned by the fund is exempt from federal income taxes; however, the fund may earn taxable income from certain investments.
The fund adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on June 29, 2007. The implementation of FIN 48 resulted in no material liability for unrecognized tax benefits and no material change to the beginning net asset value of the fund.
As of and during the period ended July 31, 2007, the fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the statement of operations. During the period, the fund did not incur any significant interest or penalties.
The fund is not subject to examination by U.S. federal tax authorities for tax years before 2003 and by state tax authorities for tax years before 2002.
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, 2007, the fund reclassified $345,000 from undistributed net investment income to accumulated net realized loss and $5,000 from undistributed net investment income to capital paid in on shares of capital stock to align financial reporting with tax reporting.
As of July 31, 2007, the tax basis components of distributable earnings, unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and cost of investment securities were as follows:
(dollars in thousands) | ||
Undistributed tax-exempt income | $1,992 | |
Capital loss carryforwards*: | ||
Expiring 2009 | ($1,369) | |
Expiring 2011 | (402) | |
Expiring 2012 | (17,397) | |
Expiring 2013 | (3,652) | (22,820) |
Gross unrealized appreciation on investment securities | 61,451 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation on investment securities | (24,172) | |
Net unrealized appreciation on investment securities | 37,279 | |
Cost of investment securities | 2,238,463 | |
*Reflects the utilization of capital loss carryforwards of $4,518,000. The capital loss carryforwards will be used to offset any capital gains realized by the fund in future years through the expiration dates. The fund will not make distributions from capital gains while capital loss carryforwards remain. |
Tax-exempt income distributions paid or accrued to shareholders were as follows (dollars in thousands):

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, SM Inc. ("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, 2007, total investment advisory services fees waived by CRMC were $713,000. As a result, the fee shown on the accompanying financial statements of $7,129,000, which was equivalent to an annualized rate of 0.334%, was reduced to $6,416,000, or 0.300% 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, 2007, unreimbursed expenses subject to reimbursement totaled $178,000 for Class A.
Share class | Currently approved limits | Plan limits |
Class A | 0.30% | 0.30% |
Class B | 1.00 | 1.00 |
Class C | 1.00 | 1.00 |
Class F | 0.25 | 0.50 |
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.
Expenses under the agreements described on the previous page for the year ended July 31, 2007, were as follows (dollars in thousands):
Share class | Distribution services | Transfer agent services | Administrative services | ||||
CRMC administrative services | Transfer agent services | ||||||
Class A | $5,361 | $514 | Not applicable | Not applicable | |||
Class B | 663 | 23 | Not applicable | Not applicable | |||
Class C | 1,118 | Included in administrative services | $89 | $7 | |||
Class F | 360 | 161 | 14 | ||||
Class R-5 | Not applicable | 22 | 1 | ||||
Total | $7,502 | $537 | $272 | $22 |
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 $67,000, shown on the accompanying financial statements, includes $49,000 in current fees (either paid in cash or deferred) and a net increase of $18,000 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, 2007, 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, 2007 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

For information regarding the differences among the various share classes, please refer to the fund’s prospectus.
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, 2007, through July 31, 2007).
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.
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.
Notes:
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, 2008. 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 board and committee determined that the fund’s advisory fee structure was fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided and that approving the agreement was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders.
In reaching this decision, the board and committee took into account information furnished to them throughout the year, as well as information prepared specifically in connection with their review of the agreement based on advice of their independent counsel. They considered the factors discussed below, among others, but did not identify any single issue or particular piece of information that, in isolation, was the controlling factor.
1. Nature, extent and quality of services
The board and 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 ongoing evolution of CRMC’s organizational structure designed to maintain and strengthen these qualities. The board and the committee also considered the nature, extent and quality of administrative, compliance and shareholder services provided by CRMC to the fund under the agreement and other agreements as well as the benefits to fund shareholders from investing in a fund that is part of a large family of funds. The board and committee concluded that the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by CRMC have benefited and should continue to benefit the fund and its shareholders.
2. 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 those of other relevant funds (including the other funds that are the basis of the Lipper index for the category in which the fund is included) and market data such as relevant market indices. This report, including the letter to shareholders and related disclosures, contains certain information about each fund’s investment results. The board and the committee concluded that the fund’s short- and long-term results have been satisfactory and that CRMC’s record in managing the fund indicated that its continued management should benefit the fund and its shareholders.
3. Advisory fees and total expenses
The board and the committee compared the advisory fees and total expense levels of the fund to those of other relevant funds. They observed that the fund’s advisory fees and expenses remain significantly below those of most other relevant funds. The board and the committee also noted the breakpoint discounts in the fund’s advisory fee structure that reduce the level of fees charged by CRMC to the fund as fund assets increase and the 10% advisory fee waiver in effect since April 2005. In addition, they reviewed information regarding the advisory fees paid by institutional clients of an affiliate of CRMC. They noted that, although the fees paid by those clients generally were lower than those paid by the fund, the differences appropriately reflected the significant investment, operational and regulatory differences between advising mutual funds and institutional clients. The board and the committee concluded that the fund’s cost structure was fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided, and that the shareholders receive reasonable value in return for the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the fund.
4. 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. The board and the committee took these ancillary benefits into account in evaluating the reasonableness of the advisory fees and other amounts paid to CRMC by the fund.
5. Adviser financial information
The board and the committee reviewed information regarding CRMC’s costs of providing services to the American Funds, including personnel, systems and resources of investment, compliance, trading, accounting and other administrative operations. They considered CRMC’s costs and willingness to invest in technology, infrastructure and staff to maintain and expand services and capabilities, respond to industry and regulatory developments and attract and retain qualified personnel. They noted information previously received regarding the compensation structure for CRMC’s investment professionals. The board and committee also compared CRMC’s profitability to the reported results of several large, publicly held investment management companies. The board and committee noted the competitiveness and cyclicality of both the mutual fund industry and the capital markets, and the importance in that environment of CRMC’s long-term profitability for maintaining its independence, company culture and management continuity. They further considered the breakpoint discounts in the fund’s advisory fee structure and the impact of CRMC’s current 10% advisory fee waiver. The board and committee concluded that the fund’s advisory fee structure reflected a reasonable sharing of benefits between CRMC and the fund’s shareholders.

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 independent registered public accounting firm’s 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 $43,000 for fiscal year 2006 and $14,000 for fiscal year 2007. 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
Not applicable to this Registrant, insofar as the Registrant is not a closed-end management investment company.
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.
