Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board Sidebar text: WE THINK THAT MUNICIPAL BOND INVESTMENTS LIKE YOUR NUVEEN FUND CAN BE IMPORTANT BUILDING BLOCKS IN A WELL-BALANCED PORTFOLIO. Dear SHAREHOLDER I am very pleased to report that for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004, your Nuveen Fund continued to provide you with attractive monthly tax-free income. While tax-free income is always welcome, we know that many shareholders are beginning to wonder whether interest rates will rise significantly, and whether that possibility should cause them to adjust that portion of their investment portfolios allocated to tax-free municipal bonds. We believe this is a question you should consider carefully with the help of a trusted financial advisor. In many cases, it may be more appropriate to focus on long-term goals and objectives rather than shorter-term market movements, and this is where a professional advisor may be able to help keep you focused on the larger objectives of your investment program. As you read through this report, please review the inside front cover and consider receiving future Fund reports and other Fund information by e-mail and the Internet. Not only will you be able to receive the information faster, but this also may help lower your Fund's expenses. Sign up is quick and easy. Since 1898, Nuveen Investments has offered financial products and solutions that incorporate careful research, diversification and the application of conservative risk-management principles. We are grateful that you have chosen us as a partner as you pursue your financial goals. We look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead. Sincerely, /s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger Timothy R. Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board July 15, 2004 1 Nuveen Maryland and Virginia Municipal Closed-End Exchange-Traded Funds (NMY, NFM, NZR, NWI, NPV, NGB, NNB) Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS Portfolio manager Paul Brennan reviews the market environment, key investment strategies and the annual performance of these Funds. Paul, who has 13 years of investment experience, including 7 years with Nuveen, assumed portfolio management responsibility for NMY and NPV in 1999, for NFM, NZR, NGB and NNB in 2001, and for NWI in 2002. WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE U.S. ECONOMY AND MUNICIPAL MARKET DURING THE 12-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED MAY 31, 2004? During this reporting period, the U.S. economy demonstrated growing evidence of improvement in such key areas as employment, capital spending and industrial production. Indeed, during the third quarter of 2003, the U.S. gross domestic product grew at an annualized rate of 8.2%, more than double the second quarter's performance and the fastest annualized quarterly growth rate in nearly 20 years. Although this rapid pace was not considered sustainable, the economy continued to turn in steady performance for the rest of the 12-month reporting period, expanding by an annualized 4.1% in the fourth quarter of 2003 and an annualized 3.9% in the first three months of 2004. Inflation also showed some signs of acceleration, driven mainly by higher energy and transportation costs, with the Consumer Price Index rising at a 5.1% rate (annualized) during the first five months of 2004. The combination of economic momentum and growing inflation concerns served as a catalyst for heightened volatility in the fixed-income markets. Although short-term interest rates remained at or near historical lows throughout this 12-month period, bond market long-term yields, including the municipal market, were increasingly driven by expectations that the Federal Reserve would move to increase interest rates and by speculation over the timing and extent of those increases. As one example, the yield on the Bond Buyer 25 Revenue Bond Index, a widely followed municipal bond index, rose from 4.83% at the beginning of the period to 5.50% by the middle of August 2003. The index yield then fell steadily over the next seven months to reach 4.73% by the middle of March 2004, before rising to 5.36% by the end of the reporting period. In general, municipal supply nationwide remained strong over the 12-month reporting period, with $384.8 billion in new bonds coming to market. This represented an increase of 2% over the preceding 12-month period. However, the pace of issuance slowed toward the latter part of the reporting period, with $147.8 billion in new municipal supply during the first five months of 2004, down 6% from January-May 2003. In May 2004 alone, volume decreased 9% from one year earlier. HOW ABOUT ECONOMIC AND MARKET CONDITIONS IN MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA? Maryland's economy continued to grow at a slow but steady pace, as strong activity at the Port of Baltimore, increased federal defense spending, and ties to the vibrant Washington D.C. economy helped to offset the negative impact of a declining manufacturing sector. Among promising developments was renewed growth in the state's aerospace, medical research, security and distribution industries, while consumer spending in this high-wealth state helped to lift retail employment. As of May 2004, unemployment in the state was 4.0%, down from 4.5% in May 2003 and well below the national average of 5.6%. Despite the state's historically well-managed finances and adequate reserves, the 2 $24 billion fiscal 2005-2006 biennial budget presented the challenge of closing an $800 million gap. This was accomplished without adding any new taxes, through new and one-time revenue sources and a transfer from the fully funded stabilization fund. Local economies in Maryland continued to benefit from strong property tax growth and some flexibility in raising revenue. Over the 12-month period ended May 2004, municipal issuance in Maryland totaled $6.5 billion, up 9% over the previous 12 months, although issuance slowed during the first five months of 2004. As of May 31, 2004, Maryland maintained its general obligation debt rating of Aaa/AAA, with stable outlook, from Moody's and Standard & Poor's, respectively. With an improved economy and healthy employment growth, Virginia's recent expansion continued to outpace national trends. The construction and services sectors led in job growth, helping to offset continued losses in textile and apparel manufacturing, tobacco and telecommunications. A strong tourism industry also added strength to the Virginia economy. As of May 2004, Virginia's unemployment was 3.4%, compared with 4.1% in May 2003. While federal spending for defense continued to be a key economic driver, growth remained concentrated in northern Virginia and around Norfolk, while southern and western Virginia's economy remained sluggish. Although Virginia debt continued to be rated Aaa/AAA by Moody's and Standard & Poor's, in September 2003 Moody's put the commonwealth on its negative Watch List. In May 2004, following approval of a budget and tax reform package, Moody's restored Virginia's outlook to stable. During the 12-month period ended May 2004, Virginia issued $6.5 billion in new bonds, a decrease of more than 19% from the previous 12-month period. This pattern strengthened during January-May 2004, as supply dropped 22% from the same period in 2003. IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE FUNDS DURING THE 12 MONTHS ENDED MAY 31, 2004? As the market continued to anticipate rising interest rates, our major focus during this reporting period remained on trying to mitigate some of the interest rate risk inherent in each Fund's portfolio. Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a Fund's portfolio will decline if market interest rates rise (since bond prices move in the opposite direction of interest rates). Since longer-term bonds often carry more interest rate risk than intermediate-term or short-term bonds, we concentrated on finding attractive securities with defensive structures in the long-intermediate part of the yield curve (i.e., bonds that mature in 15 to 20 years). In many cases, bonds in this part of the curve offered yields similar to those of longer-term bonds with less inherent interest rate risk. As new municipal supply softened toward the end of the period, the combination of tighter supply and relatively low yields meant that the new issue market did not offer many bonds that we thought would perform better than those the Funds already owned. When opportunities did arise, we sought to improve portfolio diversification by adding general obligation and tax-backed bonds, especially in Maryland, where increased issuance at the county and local municipality levels provided a greater selection of bonds with the structures we prefer. We also made some purchases in the healthcare sector, where improvements in cost containment and reimbursement practices helped the sector's long-term outlook. Some of these purchases were financed through the sale of bonds with longer maturities and with proceeds from calls, particularly in the single family and multifamily housing sectors. 3 HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM? Individual results for the Funds, as well as for relevant benchmarks, are presented in the accompanying table. TOTAL RETURNS ON NET ASSET VALUE For periods ended 5/31/04 (Annualized) 1-YEAR 5-YEAR 10-YEAR - ------------------------------------------------------------------- NMY 0.64% 5.97% 7.19% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- NFM -0.69% NA NA - ------------------------------------------------------------------- NZR -1.16% NA NA - ------------------------------------------------------------------- NWI -1.51% NA NA - ------------------------------------------------------------------- NPV -0.42% 6.13% 7.68% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- NGB -0.50% NA NA - ------------------------------------------------------------------- NNB -1.84% NA NA - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index1 -0.03% 5.49% 6.33% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds Average2 -0.99% 5.95% 7.16% - ------------------------------------------------------------------- Past performance is not predictive of future results. For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your Fund in this report. For the 12 months ended May 31, 2004, NMY's total annual return on net asset value (NAV) outperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index, while the performance of the other six Funds lagged this measure. NMY, NFM, NPV and NGB also outperformed the Lipper Other States group average, while NZR, NWI and NNB did not. One of the primary factors affecting the 12-month performance of each of these Funds compared with that of the unleveraged Lehman index was the Funds' use of leverage. Leveraging can provide opportunities for additional income and total return for common shareholders, but it is a strategy that adds volatility to the Funds' NAVs and share prices, especially when interest rates move significantly. While each of these Funds was able to generate additional income over this period through its use of leverage, rising interest rates caused larger declines in each Fund's NAV than would have been the case had the Fund not used leverage. This had a direct and negative effect on total returns over this period. Looking at specific holdings, the Funds' performances generally were helped by their positions in lower-rated bonds, which tended to outperform higher-quality bonds as the economy improved and investors' tolerance for additional credit risk increased. NMY, in particular, benefited over this period from its 3% position in bonds rated B3 issued for Dimensions Health Corporation in Prince George's County, which recovered dramatically over the year. NFM, NZR and NWI also held small positions in this issue, as we added to our holdings during the last six months of the period. Many of the Funds had housing sector positions, especially multifamily housing, that also made positive contributions to their total returns over this period. Among these seven Funds, NMY had the heaviest weighting of multifamily housing bonds, at 13% of its portfolio. All of the Funds saw good performance from their holdings in the industrial development resource sector. These bonds, often lower-rated, ranked first in terms of returns among the Lehman municipal revenue sectors during this period. Among other holdings making positive contributions to the Funds' total returns during this reporting period were bonds backed by revenues from the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement. NMY also benefited from the fact that it had the highest level of call exposure among these Funds, with 21% of its portfolio subject to potential calls during 2004-2005. While we often try to reduce a Fund's call exposure in order to protect its income stream, callable bonds performed well during this period as interest rates rose due to their generally shorter durations. NPV had the second highest level of callable bonds, at 13%. By contrast, call exposures were 6% in NGB, 5% in NFM, 2% in NZR and NWI and 1% in NNB. Ironically, each Fund's performance during this period was constrained to a degree by its relatively large position in AAA-rated securities, 1 The Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged national index comprising a broad range of investment-grade municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses. 2 The Lipper Other States Municipal Debt Funds category average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end exchange-traded funds in this category for each period as follows: 1 year, (44 funds); 5 years, (19 funds); and 10 years, (17 funds). Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 4 especially general obligation bonds. In general, these bonds did not perform as well as lower-rated bonds during the 12 month reporting period. Another negative factor affecting the 12-month performance of these Funds, especially when comparing their returns with each other, was their duration3. As previously mentioned, yields rose and bond prices fell during the course of the reporting period, negatively impacting these Funds' total returns. In general, the longer a Fund's duration, the more its value will change as interest rates change. The durations of the Funds that were introduced in 2001 and 2002--NFM, NZR, NWI, NGB and NNB--were longer during this period than NMY and NPV, which had their initial public offerings in 1993. Newer Funds generally invest in longer-term bonds at the time of their inceptions in order to begin generating attractive levels of income. As a result, these Funds tend to have relatively long durations for their first few years until their portfolios begin to season and we have the opportunity to adjust their holdings. In the interim, any rise in interest rates in the months and years immediately following a Fund's IPO often produces a greater impact on the newer Fund's performance than on the performance of an older Fund that has a greater range of bond structures and maturities within its portfolio. HOW ABOUT THE FUNDS' DIVIDENDS AND SHARE PRICES? With short-term interest rates remaining at historically low levels during this reporting period, the leveraged structures of these seven Funds continued to support their dividend-paying capabilities. The extent of this benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates the Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R) shareholders. During periods of low short-term rates, the Funds generally pay relatively lower dividends to their MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to support common share dividends. During this reporting period, this strategy enabled us to increase dividends of NFM, NZR, NGB and NNB, while helping to maintain the dividends of NMY, NWI and NPV throughout the period. All of these Funds seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of May 31, 2004, all of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances. NMY, NFM and NGB were trading at premiums to their net asset values as of May 31, 2004. NPV was trading at its NAV, while NZR, NWI and NNB were trading at discounts. As of the end of the fiscal year, NFM was trading at a greater premium than its average premium over the course of the 12-month period. The other six Funds were trading at smaller premiums or greater discounts than their 12-month averages. HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AS OF MAY 31, 2004? Given the current geopolitical and economic climate, we continued to believe that maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of the end of May 2004, all seven of these Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from 81% in NWI, NPV and NNB to 80% in NZR, 75% in NGB, 69% in NMY and 66% in NFM. 3 Duration is a measure of a Fund's net asset value (NAV) volatility in reaction to interest rate movements. Fund duration, also known as leverage-adjusted duration, takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is generally longer than the duration of the actual portfolio of individual bonds that make up the Fund. References to duration in this commentary are intended to indicate Fund duration unless otherwise noted. 5 Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund Performance OVERVIEW As of May 31, 2004 NMY Pie Chart: CREDIT QUALITY AAA/U.S. Guaranteed 46% AA 23% A 16% BBB 9% NR 2% BB or Lower 4% FUND SNAPSHOT - -------------------------------------------------- Share Price $14.45 - -------------------------------------------------- Common Share Net Asset Value $14.28 - -------------------------------------------------- Premium/(Discount) to NAV 1.19% - -------------------------------------------------- Market Yield 6.31% - -------------------------------------------------- Taxable-Equivalent Yield1 9.21% - -------------------------------------------------- Net Assets Applicable to Common Shares ($000) $151,107 - -------------------------------------------------- Average Effective Maturity (Years) 17.63 - -------------------------------------------------- Leverage-Adjusted Duration 9.70 - -------------------------------------------------- AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN (Inception 3/18/93) - -------------------------------------------------- ON SHARE PRICE ON NAV - -------------------------------------------------- 1-Year -10.77% 0.64% - -------------------------------------------------- 5-Year 4.76% 5.97% - -------------------------------------------------- 10-Year 7.26% 7.19% - -------------------------------------------------- TOP FIVE SECTORS (as a % of total investments) - -------------------------------------------------- Healthcare 17% - -------------------------------------------------- Tax Obligation/General 17% - -------------------------------------------------- Education and Civic Organizations 14% - -------------------------------------------------- Tax Obligation/Limited 14% - -------------------------------------------------- Housing/Multifamily 13% - -------------------------------------------------- Bar Chart: 2003-2004 MONTHLY TAX-FREE DIVIDENDS PER SHARE Jun 0.076 Jul 0.076 Aug 0.076 Sep 0.076 Oct 0.076 Nov 0.076 Dec 0.076 Jan 0.076 Feb 0.076 Mar 0.076 Apr 0.076 May 0.076 Line Chart: SHARE PRICE PERFORMANCE Weekly Closing Price Past performance is not predictive of future results. 5/31/03 $17.15 16.92 17 16.7 16.32 16.75 16.88 16.41 15.4 15.19 15.45 15 15.25 15.4 15.45 15.69 15.6 15.77 15.45 15.48 15.6 15.7 16.08 15.59 15.36 15.7 15.7 16.35 16.84 16.95 16.9 17.12 17.05 16.64 16.77 16.99 17.05 17.05 17 17.1 16.6 15.75 14.78 14.57 14.46 14.56 14.15 14.4 5/31/04 14.45 1 Taxable-equivalent yield represents the yield that must be earned on a fully taxable investment in order to equal the yield of the Fund on an after-tax basis.

GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The state Funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Maryland Premium Income Municipal Fund (NMY), Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NFM), Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NZR), Nuveen Maryland Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NWI), Nuveen Virginia Premium Income Municipal Fund (NPV), Nuveen Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NGB) and Nuveen Virginia Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NNB). Common shares of Maryland Premium Income (NMY) and Virginia Premium Income (NPV) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of Maryland Dividend Advantage (NFM), Maryland Dividend Advantage 2 (NZR), Maryland Dividend Advantage 3 (NWI), Virginia Dividend Advantage (NGB) and Virginia Dividend Advantage 2 (NNB) are traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies. Prior to the commencement of operations of Maryland Dividend Advantage 3 (NWI), the Fund had no operations other than those related to organizational matters, the initial capital contribution of $100,275 by Nuveen Advisory Corp. (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. and the recording of the organization expenses ($11,500) and their reimbursement by Nuveen Investments, LLC, also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen Investments, Inc. Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and designated state income taxes by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within a single state. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Securities Valuation The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees. When price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. If it is determined that market prices for a security are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the security. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Securities purchased or sold on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At May 31, 2004, Virginia Dividend Advantage 2 (NNB), had an outstanding when-issued purchase commitment of $1,117,124. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds. Investment Income Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. 51 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) Income Taxes Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its net investment income to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and designated state income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. All monthly tax-exempt income dividends paid during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004, have been designated Exempt Interest Dividends. Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding $25,000 stated value Preferred shares. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate on each Series may change every seven days, as set pursuant to a dutch auction process by the auction agent, and is payable at or near the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows: MARYLAND MARYLAND MARYLAND MARYLAND PREMIUM DIVIDEND DIVIDEND DIVIDEND INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 ADVANTAGE 3 (NMY) (NFM) (NZR) (NWI) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M -- 1,280 -- -- Series T -- -- -- 1,560 Series W 1,404 -- -- -- Series TH 1,760 -- -- -- Series F -- -- 1,280 -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 3,164 1,280 1,280 1,560 ================================================================================ VIRGINIA VIRGINIA VIRGINIA PREMIUM DIVIDEND DIVIDEND INCOME ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE 2 (NPV) (NGB) (NNB) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M -- -- 1,680 Series T 832 -- -- Series W -- 960 -- Series TH 1,720 -- -- Series F -- -- -- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 2,552 960 1,680 ================================================================================ Effective November 15, 2002, Maryland Dividend Advantage 3 (NWI) issued 1,560 Series T, $25,000 stated value Preferred shares. 52 Derivative Financial Instruments The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments including futures, forward, swap and option contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. Although the Funds are authorized to invest in such financial instruments, and may do so in the future, they did not make any such investments during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Offering Costs Nuveen Investments, LLC has agreed to pay all Common share offering costs (other than the sales load) that exceed $.03 per Common share for Maryland Dividend Advantage 3 (NWI). Maryland Dividend Advantage 3's (NWI) share of Common share offering costs ($160,200) was recorded as a reduction of the proceeds from the sale of common shares. Costs incurred by Maryland Dividend Advantage 3 (NWI) in connection with its offering of Preferred shares ($912,570) were recorded as a reduction to paid-in surplus. Indemnifications Under the Funds' organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 2.

MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Under Maryland Premium Income's (NMY) and Virginia Premium Income's (NPV) investment management agreements with the Adviser, each Fund pays an annual management fee, payable monthly, at the rates set forth below, which are based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows: AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS (INCLUDING NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES) MANAGEMENT FEE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .6500% For the next $125 million .6375 For the next $250 million .6250 For the next $500 million .6125 For the next $1 billion .6000 For the next $3 billion .5875 For net assets over $5 billion .5750 ================================================================================ Under Maryland Dividend Advantage's (NFM), Maryland Dividend Advantage 2's (NZR), Maryland Dividend Advantage 3's (NWI), Virginia Dividend Advantage's (NGB) and Virginia Dividend Advantage 2's (NNB) investment management agreements with the Adviser, each Fund pays an annual management fee, payable monthly, at the rates set forth below, which are based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows: AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS (INCLUDING NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO PREFERRED SHARES) MANAGEMENT FEE - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .6500% For the next $125 million .6375 For the next $250 million .6250 For the next $500 million .6125 For the next $1 billion .6000 For net assets over $2 billion .5750 ================================================================================ The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised Funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised Funds. 57 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) As approved by the Board of Trustees, a complex-wide fee schedule for all Funds managed by the Adviser and its affiliates will go into effect on August 1, 2004. The implementation of this complex-wide fee schedule is expected to result in a marginal immediate decrease in the rate at which management fees are to be paid by the Funds. As assets in the Nuveen Fund complex grow, the management fee rates to be paid by the Funds will decrease further. Under no circumstances will the complex-wide fee schedule result in an increase in the rate at which management fees would be paid by the Funds if the complex-wide fee schedule were not implemented. For the first ten years of Maryland Dividend Advantage's (NFM) and Virginia Dividend Advantage's (NGB) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Funds, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING JANUARY 31, JANUARY 31, - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2001* .30% 2007 .25% 2002 .30 2008 .20 2003 .30 2009 .15 2004 .30 2010 .10 2005 .30 2011 .05 2006 .30 ================================================================================ * From the commencement of operations.

A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. EASY AND CONVENIENT To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own. HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions. FLEXIBILITY You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time. For more information on the Nuveen Automatic Reinvestment Plan or to enroll in or withdraw from the Plan, speak with your financial advisor or call us at (800) 257-8787. 68 Fund INFORMATION BOARD OF TRUSTEES Robert P.

Box 43071 Providence, RI 02940-3071 (800) 257-8787 LEGAL COUNSEL Chapman and Cutler LLP Chicago, IL INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Ernst & Young LLP Chicago, IL PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES A description of the policies and procedures that the Funds use to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling Nuveen Investments at (800) 257-8787; and (ii) on the Commission's website at http://www.sec.gov. GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return (including change in NAV and reinvested dividends) that would have been necessary on an annual basis to equal the investment's actual performance over the time period being considered. AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions. LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of a bond or bond fund's sensitivity to changes in interest rates. Generally, the longer a bond or fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or fund will change as interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is generally longer than the duration of the actual portfolio of individual bonds that make up the Fund. MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market price. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A fund's NAV is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the fund from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment. - --------- Each Fund intends to repurchase shares of its own common or preferred stock in the future at such times and in such amounts as is deemed advisable. No shares were repurchased during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004. Any future repurchases will be reported to shareholders in the next annual or semiannual report. 69 Serving Investors FOR GENERATIONS Since 1898, financial advisors and their clients have relied on Nuveen Investments to provide dependable investment solutions.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the registrant has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the registrant's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. The registrant has posted such code of ethics on its website at www.nuveen.com/etf. ITEM 3. AUDIT COMMITTEE FINANCIAL EXPERT. During the reporting period, the registrant's board of directors determined that the registrant had at least one "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR) serving on its Audit Committee. The registrant's audit committee financial expert for the reporting period was William E. Bennett, who was "independent" for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Although Mr. Bennett served as the audit committee financial expert for part of reporting period, he unexpectedly resigned from the Board effective April 30, 2004. Since that time, the Audit Committee determined that Jack B. Evans, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an audit committee financial expert and recommended to the full Board that he be designated as such. On July 26, 2004, the full Board voted to so designate Mr. Evans.

ITEM 4. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES. NUVEEN MARYLAND DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE MUNICIPAL FUND 2 FORM N-CSR DISCLOSURE RE: AUDIT FEES The following table shows the amount of fees that Ernst & Young LLP, the Fund's auditor, billed to the Fund during the Fund's last two full fiscal years. For engagements with Ernst & Young LLP entered into on or after May 6, 2003, the Audit Committee approved in advance all audit services and non-audit services that Ernst & Young LLP provided to the Fund, except for those non-audit services that were subject to the pre-approval exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X (the "pre-approval exception"). The pre-approval exception for services provided directly to the Fund waives the pre-approval requirement for services other than audit, review or attest services if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid by the Fund during the fiscal year in which the services are provided; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the audit is completed. The Audit Committee has delegated certain pre-approval responsibilities to its Chairman (or, in his absence, any other member of the Audit Committee).

The table also shows the percentage of fees subject to the pre-approval exception. The pre-approval exception for services provided to the Adviser and any Affiliated Fund Service Provider (other than audit, review or attest services) waives the pre-approval requirement if: (A) the aggregate amount of all such services provided constitutes no more than 5% of the total amount of revenues paid to Ernst & Young LLP by the Fund, the Adviser and Affiliated Fund Service Providers during the fiscal year in which the services are provided that would have to be pre-approved by the Audit Committee; (B) the Fund did not recognize the services as non-audit services at the time of the engagement; and (C) the services are promptly brought to the Audit Committee's attention, and the Committee (or its delegate) approves the services before the Fund's audit is completed.
