LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Timothy R. Schwertfeger
Chairman of the Board
Every year I sign a shareholder letter that carries a date viewed by many with
concern or dread. But you, and thousands like you, have learned that the
tax-free income provided by your Nuveen Fund can help make April 15th a little
less onerous. So, once again, I am pleased to report that over the six-month
period covered by this report your Fund continued to provide you with attractive
monthly tax-free income. For more details about the management strategy and
performance of your Fund, please read the Portfolio Manager's Comments, the
Common Share Dividend and Share Price Information, and the Performance Overview
sections of this report.
I also wanted to update you on some important news about Nuveen Investments. In
late 2007, the firm was acquired by a group led by Madison Dearborn Partners,
LLC. While this affected the corporate structure of Nuveen Investments, it had
no impact on the investment objectives, portfolio management strategies or
dividend policy of your Fund.
With the recent volatility in the stock market, many have begun to wonder which
way the market is headed, and whether they need to adjust their holdings of
investments. No one knows what the future will bring, which is why we think a
well-balanced portfolio that is structured and carefully monitored with the help
of an investment professional is an important component in achieving your long
term financial goals. A well-diversified portfolio may actually help to reduce
your overall investment risk, and we believe that investments like your Nuveen
Investments Fund can be important building blocks in a portfolio crafted to
perform well through a variety of market conditions.
We also are pleased to be able to offer you a choice concerning how you receive
your shareholder reports and other Fund information. As an alternative to mailed
copies, you can sign up to receive future Fund reports and other Fund
information by e-mail and the internet. The inside front cover of this report
contains information on how you can sign up.
We are grateful that you have chosen us as a partner as you pursue your
financial goals and we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the
months and years ahead. At Nuveen Investments, our mission continues to be to
assist you and your financial advisor by offering investment services and
products that can help you to secure your financial objectives.
Sincerely,
/s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger

Portfolio Manager's COMMENTS
Nuveen Investments Municipal Closed-End Funds
NCA, NCP, NCO,
NQC, NVC, NUC
Portfolio manager Scott Romans examines key investment strategies and the
six-month performance of the Nuveen California Municipal Funds. Scott, who
joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed these six Funds since 2003.
WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THE CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE
SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 2008?
During this period, the municipal market experienced a great deal of volatility,
as factors related to the sub-prime mortgage crisis had an indirect, but
important, influence on the municipal market's performance. As the market moved
from rally to slump and back again, we sought to take advantage of this
environment by tailoring our investment strategies appropriately. Overall, we
believed the Funds were well structured going into this period. When interest
rates were low, we continued to invest conservatively by purchasing defensive,
high credit quality bonds that we believed would hold their value well when
interest rates eventually rose. When disruptions in the financial markets
triggered a backup in interest rates and the market discounted lower-quality and
higher-yielding bonds, we took a more opportunistic approach to investing. That
entailed selling some of the Funds' higher-rated defensive positions and buying
lower-rated bonds at attractive levels relative to their credit quality or
taking positions in higher-yielding bonds in order to capture the yield
advantage of the increase in rates.
The Funds also found ample opportunities to sell some holdings that were
purchased when yields were lower and replace them with similar, newer credits
that yielded comparatively more. This process enabled us to maintain the Funds'
current portfolio characteristics while strengthening their future income
streams.
Over the course of the entire reporting period, we saw the municipal yield curve
steepen, as municipal bond interest rates at the short end of the curve declined
while longer-term rates rose. In this environment, we continued to emphasize a
disciplined approach to duration1 management. As part of this strategy, we used
inverse floating rate securities, 2 a type of derivative financial instrument,
in all six of these Funds. Inverse floaters typically provide the dual benefit
of lengthening the Funds' durations to be closer to our strategic target and
enhancing their income-generation capabilities, albeit while adding risk to
their portfolio. Going into this period, all of the Funds also used forward
interest rate swaps, another type of derivative financial instrument. The goal
of this strategy was to help us manage the common share net asset value (NAV)
volatility of these Funds without having a negative impact on their income
streams or common share dividends over the short term. During this period, we
believed that the
1 Duration is a measure of a bond's price sensitivity as interest rates
change, with longer duration bonds displaying more sensitivity to these
changes than bonds with shorter durations.
2 An inverse floating rate security is a financial instrument designed to pay
long-term tax-exempt interest at a rate that varies inversely with a
short-term tax-exempt interest rate index. For the Nuveen Funds, the index
typically used is the Securities Industry and Financial Markets (SIFM)
Municipal Swap Index (previously referred to as the Bond Market Association
Index or BMA). Inverse floaters, including those inverse floating rate
securities in which the Funds invested during the reporting period, are
further defined within the Notes to Financial Statements and Glossary of
Terms Used in This Report sections of this shareholder report.
Discussions of specific investments are for illustrative purposes only and are
not intended as recommendations of individual investments. The views expressed
in this commentary represent those of the portfolio manager as of the date of
this report and are subject to change at any time, based on market conditions
and other factors. The Funds disclaim any obligation to advise shareholders of
such changes.

forward interest rate swaps had accomplished this goal, and we removed the swaps
from the Funds.
HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM?
Individual results for these Nuveen Funds, as well as relevant index and peer
group information, are presented in the accompanying table.
Total Returns on Common Share Net Asset Value*
For periods ended 2/29/08

Lipper CA Municipal
Debt Funds Average(5) -5.86% -8.84% 3.63% 4.50%
For the six months ended February 29, 2008, the cumulative returns on common
share NAV for all six of the Funds in this report underperformed the return on
the Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index. At the same time, all six
of the Funds exceeded the average return on the Lipper California Municipal Debt
Funds Average.
The two most significant factors in the Funds' performance were
leverage-adjusted duration and the use of derivatives. Sector and credit
allocations and holdings of bonds backed by certain municipal bond insurers also
influenced the Funds' returns on common share NAV.
During this six-month period, bonds in the Lehman Brothers Index with maturities
of less than six years, especially those maturing in approximately three years,
benefited the most from changes in the interest rate environment. As a result,
these shorter maturity bonds generally outperformed credits with longer
maturities. Bonds having the longest maturities (22 years and longer) posted the
worst returns. In this market environment, the performance of NCA (which does
not use financial leverage) benefited from the fact that its duration was
shorter than the leverage-adjusted durations of the other five Funds in this
report. Among the five leveraged Funds, NUC had the shortest duration, while NVC
was among the longer durations in this report.
As mentioned earlier, all six Funds used forward interest rate swaps to
synthetically extend their durations and move the Funds closer to our strategic
duration target. Despite the fact that longer-duration instruments performed
relatively poorly, the use of
* Six-month returns are cumulative; returns for one-year, five-year, and
ten-year are annualized.
Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be
higher or lower than the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of
taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale
of Fund shares.
For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your
Fund in this report.
3 NCA is an unleveraged Fund; the remaining five Funds in this report are
leveraged.
4 The Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged,
unmanaged index comprising a broad range of investment-grade California
municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman index do not reflect any expenses.
5 The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds Average is calculated using the
returns of all closed-end funds in this category for each period as
follows: six months, 24; 1 year, 24; 5 years, 24; and 10 years, 12. Fund
and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends.

forward interest rate swaps actually had a modest positive impact on the return
performances of these Funds. This was due to the fact that the forward interest
rate swaps provided exposure to taxable markets during a period when, in
contrast to historical trends, the Treasury market and the municipal market
moved in the opposite directions. As municipal market performance lagged the
significant gains made by Treasuries, the forward interest rate swaps performed
very well, benefiting the Funds in direct proportion to the amount of forward
swap transactions used. For example, since NUC had the shortest duration among
these five Funds, it made the greatest use of forward interest rate swaps and
benefited the most from their use. At the same time, the inverse floaters used
by all six of these Funds had a negative impact on performance. This resulted
from the fact that the inverse floaters effectively increased the Funds'
exposure to longer maturity bonds during a period when shorter maturities were
in favor in the market. However, the inverse floaters also benefited the Funds
by helping to support their income streams.
Sectors of the market that generally contributed to the Funds' performances
included resource recovery, special tax, water and sewer, and electric
utilities. Pre-refunded6 bonds performed exceptionally well, due primarily to
their shorter effective maturities and higher credit quality. Among these six
Funds, NVC and NUC had the heaviest allocations of pre-refunded bonds.
On the other hand, bonds that carried any credit risk, regardless of sector,
tended to perform poorly. Revenue bonds as a whole, and specifically the
industrial development and health care sectors that had ranked among the top
performers in the Lehman Brothers Municipal Bond Index over the past few years,
underperformed the general municipal market. Lower credit quality bonds (bonds
rated BBB or below) and non-rated bonds also posted poor returns. Credits backed
by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement generally underperformed as
well, due to the overall lower credit quality of the tobacco sector as well as
the ample supply of these bonds. The performance of the California Funds was
also hurt by their holdings of zero coupon bonds as well as their small
positions in gas prepayment contracts for certain municipalities.
Another factor that had an impact on the performance of the California Funds was
their position in bonds backed by certain municipal insurers. All of these Funds
had exposure to bonds insured by XL Capital Assurance (XLCA) and Financial
Guaranty Insurance Company (FGIC). NCP also had a very small position in bonds
insured by ACA Financial Guaranty Corporation (ACA), which was downgraded to CCC
from A in December 2007. As concern increased about the balance sheets of
municipal bond insurers, prices on bonds insured by these companies declined,
detracting from the performance of the Funds. At the same time, all of these
Funds had holdings of bonds backed by Financial Security Assurance (FSA), which
held their value well. The California Funds that had heavier exposures to
FSA-backed bonds relative to the general market benefited from this good
performance. As a whole, the holdings of all of our Funds continued to be well
diversified not only between insured and uninsured bonds, but also within the
insured bond category.
6 Advance refundings, also known as pre-refundings or refinancings, occur
when an issuer sells new bonds and uses the proceeds to fund principal and
interest payments of older existing bonds. This process often results in
lower borrowing costs for bond issuers.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS REGARDING BOND INSURANCE COMPANIES
The Portfolios of Investments reflect the ratings on certain bonds insured by
AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. Subsequent to February
29, 2008, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds
to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of February 28, 2008, one
or more rating agencies have placed each of these insurers on "negative credit
watch", which may presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced by these
rating agencies, it would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the
bonds insured by that insurer or insurers. It is important to note that
municipal bonds historically have had a very low rate of default.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE AUCTION RATE PREFERRED MARKETS
Beginning in February 2008, more shares were submitted for sale in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the auction preferred shares issued by these Funds than
there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear" and
that many or all auction preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their shares
in these auctions were unable to do so. This decline in liquidity in auction
preferred shares did not lower the credit quality of these shares, and auctioned
preferred shareholders unable to sell their shares received distributions at the
"maximum rate" calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the
auctioned preferred shares. At the time this report was prepared, the Funds'
managers could not predict when future auctions might succeed in attracting
sufficient buyers for the shares offered, if ever. The Funds' managers are
working diligently to develop mechanisms designed to improve the liquidity of
the auctioned preferred shares, or to restructure them, but at present there is
no assurance that these efforts will succeed. These developments generally do
not affect the management or investment policies of these Funds. However, one
implication of these auction failures for common shareholders is that the Funds'
cost of leverage will be higher than it otherwise would have been had the
auctions continued to be successful. As a result, the Funds' future common share
earnings may be lower than they otherwise would have been.

Common Share
Dividend and Share Price
INFORMATION
All of the Funds in this report except NCA use financial leverage. While
leverage can add volatility to a Fund's common share NAV and common share price,
this strategy can also provide opportunities for additional income and total
return for common shareholders. The Funds' use of this strategy continued to
provide incremental income, although the extent of this benefit was reduced to a
degree in some of the Funds by short-term interest rates that remained
relatively high during the earlier part of this period. This, in turn, kept the
Funds' borrowing costs high. The Funds' income streams were also impacted as the
proceeds from older, higher-yielding bonds that matured or were called were
reinvested into bonds then available in the market, which offered lower yields
at times during this period. The combination of these factors resulted in one
monthly common share dividend reduction in NCP, NCO, and NUC over the six-month
period ended February 29, 2008. The common share dividends of NCA, NQC, and NVC
remained stable throughout this reporting period.
Due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common shareholders
of all six of these Funds received capital gains and/or net ordinary income
distributions at the end of December 2007 as follows:
Short-Term Capital Gains
Long-Term Capital Gains and/or Ordinary Income
(per share) (per share)
NCA $0.0179 --
NCP $0.0743 $0.0068
NCO $0.0744 $0.0142
NQC -- $0.0305
NVC $0.0481 --
NUC -- $0.0015
All of the Funds in this report 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 common share 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 common share NAV. Each Fund will, over time,
pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of
February 29, 2008, all of the Funds in this report had positive UNII balances,
based upon our best estimate, for tax purposes. NCA, NCP and NQC had positive
UNII balances for financial statement purposes, while NCO, NVC and NUC had
negative UNII balances for financial statement purposes.

1 The percentages shown in the foregoing chart reflect the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February 29, 2008. As
explained earlier in the Portfolio Manager's Comments section of this
report, at least one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured
bonds to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the ratings for
FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. One or more rating agencies have
placed each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may presage
one or more rating reductions for such insurer or insurers in the future.
If one or more insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the bonds insured by
that insurer or insurers, and thereby reduce the percentage of the ratings
shown in the foregoing chart.
2 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. It is based on a combined federal and state income tax
rate of 34.7%. When comparing this Fund to investments that generate
qualified dividend income, the Taxable-Equivalent Yield is lower.
3 The Fund paid shareholders a capital gains distribution in December 2007 of

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Investment valued at fair value using methods determined in
good faith by, or at the discretion of, the Board of
Directors.
(6) This debt has been restructured to accommodate capital
maintenance at the facility. Major highlights of the debt
restructuring include the following: (1) the principal
balance outstanding on and after December 1, 2007, shall
accrue interest at a rate of 6.500% per annum commencing
December 1, 2007; (2) the interest shall accrue but not be
payable on June 1, 2008 or December 1, 2008, but shall
instead be deferred and paid by the end of calendar year
2011; (3) no principal component shall be pre-payable from
the Minimum Sinking Fund Account during calendar years 2008
and 2009 but such pre-payments shall recommence beginning in
calendar year 2010 according to a revised schedule.
Management believes that the restructuring is in the best
interest of the Fund shareholders and that it is
more-likely-than-not that the borrower will fulfill its
obligation. Consequently the Fund continues to accrue
interest on this obligation.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

====================================================================================================================
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
February 29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least
one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds
to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
ratings for CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured
bonds. As of February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies
have placed each of these insurers on "negative credit
watch", which may presage one or more rating reductions for
such insurer or insurers in the future. If one or more
insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the
bonds insured by that insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) The issuer has received a formal adverse determination from
the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") regarding the
tax-exempt status of the bonds' coupon payments. The Fund
will continue to treat coupon payments as tax-exempt income
until such time that is formally determined that the
interest on the bonds should be treated as taxable.
(6) This debt has been restructured to accommodate capital
maintenance at the facility. Major highlights of the debt
restructuring include the following: (1) the principal
balance outstanding on and after December 1, 2007, shall
accrue interest at a rate of 6.500% per annum commencing
December 1, 2007; (2) the interest shall accrue but not be
payable on June 1, 2008 or December 1, 2008, but shall
instead be deferred and paid by the end of calendar year
2011; (3) no principal component shall be pre-payable from
the Minimum Sinking Fund Account during calendar years 2008
and 2009 but such pre-payments shall recommence beginning in
calendar year 2010 according to a revised schedule.
Management believes that the restructuring is in the best
interest of the Fund shareholders and that it is
more-likely-than-not that the borrower will fulfill its
obligation. Consequently the Fund continues to accrue
interest on this obligation.
(7) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (37.4)%.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

====================================================================================================================
(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
February 29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least
one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds
to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
ratings for CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured
bonds. As of February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies
have placed each of these insurers on "negative credit
watch", which may presage one or more rating reductions for
such insurer or insurers in the future. If one or more
insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the
bonds insured by that insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) This debt has been restructured to accommodate capital
maintenance at the facility. Major highlights of the debt
restructuring include the following: (1) the principal
balance outstanding on and after December 1, 2007, shall
accrue interest at a rate of 6.500% per annum commencing
December 1, 2007; (2) the interest shall accrue but not be
payable on June 1, 2008 or December 1, 2008, but shall
instead be deferred and paid by the end of calendar year
2011; (3) no principal component shall be pre-payable from
the Minimum Sinking Fund Account during calendar years 2008
and 2009 but such pre-payments shall recommence beginning in
calendar year 2010 according to a revised schedule.
Management believes that the restructuring is in the best
interest of the Fund shareholders and that it is
more-likely-than-not that the borrower will fulfill its
obligation. Consequently the Fund continues to accrue
interest on this obligation.
(6) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (37.5)%.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (37.5)%.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, CIFG, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of
February 29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least
one rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds
to AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
ratings for CIFG-insured, FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured
bonds. As of February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies
have placed each of these insurers on "negative credit
watch", which may presage one or more rating reductions for
such insurer or insurers in the future. If one or more
insurers' ratings are reduced by these rating agencies, it
would likely reduce the effective rating of many of the
bonds insured by that insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (37.5)%.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

(1) All percentages shown in the Portfolio of Investments are
based on net assets applicable to Common shares unless
otherwise noted.
(2) Optional Call Provisions: Dates (month and year) and prices
of the earliest optional call or redemption. There may be
other call provisions at varying prices at later dates.
Certain mortgage-backed securities may be subject to
periodic principal paydowns.
(3) Ratings: Using the higher of Standard & Poor's Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Moody's Investor Service, Inc.
("Moody's") rating. Ratings below BBB by Standard & Poor's
or Baa by Moody's are considered to be below investment
grade.
The Portfolio of Investments reflects the ratings on certain
bonds insured by AMBAC, FGIC, MBIA and XLCA as of February
29, 2008. Subsequent to February 29, 2008, at least one
rating agency reduced the rating for AMBAC-insured bonds to
AA and at least one rating agency further reduced the
ratings for FGIC-insured and XLCA-insured bonds. As of
February 29, 2008, one or more rating agencies have placed
each of these insurers on "negative credit watch", which may
presage one or more rating reductions for such insurer or
insurers in the future. If one or more insurers' ratings are
reduced by these rating agencies, it would likely reduce the
effective rating of many of the bonds insured by that
insurer or insurers.
(4) Backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S.
Government or U.S. Government agency securities which ensure
the timely payment of principal and interest. Such
investments are normally considered to be equivalent to AAA
rated securities.
(5) Preferred Shares, at Liquidation Value as a percentage of
total investments is (37.2)%.
N/R Not rated.
(ETM) Escrowed to maturity.
(IF) Inverse floating rate investment.
(UB) Underlying bond of an inverse floating rate trust reflected
as a financing transaction pursuant to the provisions of
SFAS No. 140.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The funds covered in this report and their corresponding Common share New York
Stock Exchange symbols are Nuveen California Municipal Value Fund, Inc. (NCA),
Nuveen California Performance Plus Municipal Fund, Inc. (NCP), Nuveen California
Municipal Market Opportunity Fund, Inc. (NCO), Nuveen California Investment
Quality Municipal Fund, Inc. (NQC), Nuveen California Select Quality Municipal
Fund, Inc. (NVC) and Nuveen California Quality Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NUC)
(collectively, the "Funds"). The Funds are registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end, diversified management
investment companies.
Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and
California state income taxes by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio
of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within
the state of California or certain U.S. territories.
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.
Investment 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 Directors. When market
price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal
securities), the pricing service may establish fair 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. Prices of
forward swap contracts are also provided by an independent pricing service
approved by each Fund's Board of Directors. If the pricing service is unable to
supply a price for a municipal bond or forward swap contract, each Fund may use
market quotes provided by major broker/dealers in such investments. If it is
determined that the market price for an investment or derivative instrument is
unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Directors of the Funds, or its
designee, may establish fair value in accordance with procedures established in
good faith by the Board of Directors. Temporary investments in securities that
have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term investments
are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Investment Transactions
Investment transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and
losses from transactions are determined on the specific identification method.
Investments purchased on a when-issued/delayed delivery basis may have extended
settlement periods. Any investments 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/delayed delivery purchase commitments. At February 29, 2008, there
were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the 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.
Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund
intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net
capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of
Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment
companies. 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 California state
income taxes, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders
of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid
by the Funds are subject to federal taxation.

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
Effective February 29, 2008, the Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes" (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions
should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial
statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds' tax returns to
determine whether it is "more-likely-than-not" (i.e., greater than 50-percent
likelihood) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions
not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold may result in a tax
benefit or expense in the current year.
Implementation of FIN 48 required management of the Funds to analyze all open
tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major
jurisdictions, which includes federal and certain states. Open tax years are
those that are open for examination by taxing authorities (i.e., generally the
last four tax year ends and the interim tax period since then). The Funds have
no examinations in progress.
For all open tax years and all major taxing jurisdictions through the end of the
reporting period, management of the Funds has reviewed all tax positions taken
or expected to be taken in the preparation of the Funds' tax returns and
concluded the adoption of FIN 48 resulted in no impact to the Funds' net assets
or results of operations as of and during the six months ended February 29,
2008.
The Funds are also not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly
change in the next twelve months.
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
California Value (NCA) is not authorized to issue Preferred shares. The Funds
below have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per
share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares
are issued in more than one Series. The dividend rate paid by the Funds on each
Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process
overseen by the auction agent, and is payable at the end of each rate period.
The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each
Fund is as follows:

Inverse Floating Rate Securities
Each Fund may invest in inverse floating rate securities. An inverse floating
rate security is created by depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed
interest rate, into a special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. In turn,
this trust (a) issues floating rate certificates, in face amounts equal to some
fraction of the deposited bond's par amount or market value, that typically pay
short-term tax-exempt interest rates to third parties, and (b) issues to a
long-term investor (such as one of the Funds) an inverse floating rate
certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater") that represents all
remaining or residual interest in the trust. The income received by the inverse
floater holder varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the floating
rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the inverse floater holder
bears substantially all of the underlying bond's downside investment risk and
also benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. The price of an inverse floating rate security will be
more volatile than that of the underlying bond because the interest rate is
dependent on not only the fixed coupon rate of the underlying bond but also on
the short-term interest paid on the floating rate certificates, and because the
inverse floating rate security essentially bears the risk of loss of the greater
face value of the underlying bond.
A Fund may purchase an inverse floating rate security in a secondary market
transaction without first owning the underlying bond (referred to as an
"externally-deposited inverse floater"), or instead by first selling a
fixed-rate bond to a broker-dealer for deposit into the special purpose trust
and receiving in turn the residual interest in the trust (referred to as a
"self-deposited inverse floater"). A Fund may also enter into shortfall and
forbearance agreements (sometimes referred to as a "recourse trust" or "credit
recovery swap") with a broker-dealer by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the
broker-dealer, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the
liquidation value of the fixed-rate bond held by the trust and the liquidation
value of the floating rate certificates, as well as any shortfalls in interest
cash flows. The inverse floater held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (a) to
cause the holders of the floating rate certificates to tender their notes at
par, and (b) to have the broker transfer the fixed-rate bond held by the trust
to the Fund, thereby collapsing the trust. An investment in an
externally-deposited inverse floater is identified in the Portfolio of
Investments as an "Inverse floating rate investment". An investment in a
self-deposited inverse floater, recourse trust or credit recovery swap is
accounted for as a financing transaction in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and
Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities". In such
instances, a fixed-rate bond deposited into a special purpose trust is
identified in the Portfolio of Investments as an "Underlying bond of an inverse
floating rate trust", with the Fund accounting for the short-term floating rate
certificates issued by the trust as "Floating rate obligations" on the Statement
of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund reflects in Investment Income
the entire earnings of the underlying bond and accounts for the related interest
paid to the holders of the short-term floating rate certificates as "Interest
expense on floating rate obligations" in the Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended February 29, 2008, each Fund invested in externally
deposited inverse floaters and/or self-deposited inverse floaters.
The average floating rate obligations outstanding and average annual interest
rate and fees related to self-deposited inverse floaters during the six months
ended February 29, 2008, were as follows:

Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
Forward Swap Transactions
Each Fund is authorized to invest in forward interest rate swap transactions.
Each Fund's use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to help
the Fund manage its overall interest rate sensitivity, either shorter or longer,
generally to more closely align the Fund's interest rate sensitivity with that
of the broader municipal market. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve
each Fund's agreement with a counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed or
variable rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a
variable or fixed rate payment, the accruals for which would begin at a
specified date in the future (the "effective date"). The amount of the payment
obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract and the
termination date of the swap (which is akin to a bond's maturity). The value of
the Fund's swap commitment would increase or decrease based primarily on the
extent to which long-term interest rates for bonds having a maturity of the
swap's termination date increases or decreases. The Funds may terminate a swap
contract prior to the effective date, at which point a realized gain or loss is
recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it ordinarily does not involve
the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather
is settled in cash on a net basis. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated, to
terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of
loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to
the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment
to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To reduce such credit
risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the
daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately
equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold.
Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract,
the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as
collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss
above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and
subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate, either up or
down, by at least the predetermined threshold amount.
Zero Coupon Securities
Each Fund is authorized to invest in zero coupon securities. A zero coupon
security does not pay a regular interest coupon to its holders during the life
of the security. Tax-exempt income to the holder of the security comes from
accretion of the difference between the original purchase price of the security
at issuance and the par value of the security at maturity and is effectively
paid at maturity. Such securities are included in the Portfolios of Investments
with a 0.000% coupon rate in their description. The market prices of zero coupon
securities generally are more volatile than the market prices of securities that
pay interest periodically.
Custodian Fee Credit
Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian
fees and expenses are reduced by net credits earned on each Fund's cash on
deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight
investments. Credits for cash balances may be offset by charges for any days on
which the Fund overdraws its account at the custodian bank.
Indemnifications
Under the Funds' organizational documents, their Officers and Directors 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. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to
these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote.
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.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and loses, timing differences in
recognizing taxable market discount, timing differences in recognizing certain
gains and losses on investment transactions and the treatment of investments in
inverse floating rate transactions subject to SFAS No. 140. To the extent that
differences arise that are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified
within the capital accounts on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities presented
in the annual report, based on their federal tax basis treatment; temporary
differences do not require reclassification. Temporary and permanent differences
do not impact the net asset values of the Funds.

regulations. Post-October losses of $36,885 were treated as having arisen on the
first day of the current taxable year.
5. MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
Each Fund's management fee is separated into two components - a complex-level
component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by Nuveen
Asset Management (the "Adviser"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nuveen
Investments, Inc., ("Nuveen"), and a specific fund-level component, based only
on the amount of assets within each individual Fund, and for California Value
(NCA) a gross interest income component. This pricing structure enables Nuveen
fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual
fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the
Adviser.
California Value (NCA) pays an annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, of .15%
of the average daily net assets of the Fund, as well as 4.125% of the gross
interest income (excluding interest on bonds underlying a "self-deposited
inverse floater" trust that is attributed to the Fund over and above the net
interest earned on the inverse floater itself) of the Fund.
64
The annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each Fund (excluding California
Value (NCA)) is 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) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the first $125 million .4500%
For the next $125 million .4375
For the next $250 million .4250
For the next $500 million .4125
For the next $1 billion .4000
For the next $3 billion .3875
For net assets over $5 billion .3750
================================================================================
The annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the
fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the
aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as stated in the table below. As
of February 29, 2008, the complex level fee rate was .1869%.
Effective August 20, 2007, the complex-level fee schedule is as follows:
COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSET BREAKPOINT LEVEL (1) EFFECTIVE RATE AT BREAKPOINT LEVEL
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$55 billion .2000%
$56 billion .1996
$57 billion .1989

$80 billion .1773
$91 billion .1691
$125 billion .1599
$200 billion .1505
$250 billion .1469
$300 billion .1445
================================================================================
(1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is
calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means
the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to
preferred stock issued by or borrowings by the Nuveen funds) of
Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S.
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 Directors who are affiliated with the
Adviser or to its Officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services
to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors has
adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Directors that enables
Directors 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.
Agreement and Plan of Merger
On June 20, 2007, Nuveen Investments announced that it had entered into a
definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger Agreement") with Windy City
Investments, Inc. ("Windy City"), a corporation formed by investors led by
Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC ("Madison Dearborn"), pursuant to which Windy
City would acquire Nuveen Investments. Madison Dearborn is a private equity
investment firm based in Chicago, Illinois. The merger was consummated on
November 13, 2007.
65
Notes to
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (Unaudited)
The consummation of the merger was deemed to be an "assignment" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the investment management
agreement between each Fund and the Adviser, and resulted in the automatic
termination of each Fund's agreement. The Board of Directors of each Fund
considered and approved a new investment management agreement with the Adviser
on the same terms as the previous agreements. Each new ongoing agreement was
approved by the shareholders of each Fund and took effect on November 13, 2007.
The investors led by Madison Dearborn include an affiliate of Merrill Lynch. As
a result, Merrill Lynch is an indirect "affiliated person" (as that term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of each Fund. Certain conflicts
of interest may arise as a result of such indirect affiliation. For example, the
Funds are generally prohibited from entering into principal transactions with
Merrill Lynch and its affiliates. The Adviser does not believe that any such
prohibitions or limitations as a result of Merrill Lynch's affiliation will
significantly impact the ability of the Funds to pursue their investment
objectives and policies.
6. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 157
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements." This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires
additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to
fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards.
SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. The changes to current generally accepted accounting principles from the
application of this standard relate to the definition of fair value, the methods
used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value
measurements. As of February 29, 2008, management does not believe the adoption
of SFAS No. 157 will impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements included within the Statement of
Operations for the period.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This standard is intended to enhance
financial statement disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging
activities and enable investors to understand: a) how and why a fund uses
derivative instruments, b) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
are accounted for, and c) how derivative instruments and related hedge items
affect a fund's financial position, results of operations and cash flows. SFAS
No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of
February 29, 2008, management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will
impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional footnote disclosures
may be required about the use of derivative instruments and hedging items.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Auction Rate Preferred Markets
Beginning in February 2008, more shares for sale were submitted in the regularly
scheduled auctions for the Preferred shares issued by the Funds (excluding
California Value (NCA)) than there were offers to buy. This meant that these
auctions "failed to clear," and that many Preferred shareholders who wanted to
sell their shares in these auctions were unable to do so. Preferred shareholders
unable to sell their shares received distributions at the "maximum rate"
calculated in accordance with the pre-established terms of the Preferred shares.
66
These developments generally do not affect the management or investment policies
of the Funds. However, one implication of these auction failures for Common
shareholders is that the Funds' cost of leverage will be higher than it
otherwise would have been had the auctions continued to be successful. As a
result, the Funds' future Common share earnings may be lower than they otherwise
would have been.
Distributions to Common Shareholders
The Funds declared Common share dividend distributions from their tax-exempt net
investment income which were paid on April 1, 2008, to shareholders of record on
March 15, 2008, as follows:

* Total Return on Market Value is the combination of changes in the market
price per share and the effect of reinvested dividend income and reinvested
capital gains distributions, if any, at the average price paid per share at
the time of reinvestment. The last dividend declared in the period, which
is typically paid on the first business day of the following month, is
assumed to be reinvested at the ending market price. The actual
reinvestment for the last dividend declared in the period takes place over
several days, and in some instances may not be based on the market price,
so the actual reinvestment price may be different from the price used in
the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
Total Return on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes
in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset
value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if
any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on
the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested
at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last
dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market
price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from
the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit, where applicable.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.

Total Return on Common Share Net Asset Value is the combination of changes
in Common share net asset value, reinvested dividend income at net asset
value and reinvested capital gains distributions at net asset value, if
any. The last dividend declared in the period, which is typically paid on
the first business day of the following month, is assumed to be reinvested
at the ending net asset value. The actual reinvest price for the last
dividend declared in the period may often be based on the Fund's market
price (and not its net asset value), and therefore may be different from
the price used in the calculation. Total returns are not annualized.
** After custodian fee credit, where applicable.
*** Annualized.
+ The amounts shown are based on Common share equivalents.
++ Ratios do not reflect the effect of dividend payments to Preferred
shareholders; income ratios reflect income earned on assets attributable to
Preferred shares.
(a) Interest expense arises from the application of SFAS No. 140 to certain
inverse floating rate transactions entered into by the Fund as more fully
described in Footnote 1 - Inverse Floating Rate Securities.
(b) For the six months ended February 29, 2008.

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY and CONVENIENTLY
NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR
REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT.
NUVEEN CLOSED-END FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN
Your Nuveen Closed-End 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
greater of the net asset value or 95% of 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. If the Plan Agent begins purchasing Fund shares on
the open market while shares are trading below net asset value, but the Fund's
shares subsequently trade at or above their net asset value before the Plan
Agent is able to complete its purchases, the Plan Agent may cease open-market
purchases and may invest the uninvested portion of the distribution in
newly-issued Fund shares at a price equal to the greater of the shares' net
asset value or 95% of the shares' market value on the last business day
immediately prior to the purchase date. 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 the 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.
74
FLEXIBLE
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.

Glossary of
TERMS USED in this REPORT
o AUCTION RATE BOND: An auction rate bond is a security whose interest
payments are adjusted periodically through an auction process, which
process typically also serves as a means for buying and selling the bond.
Auctions that fail to attract enough buyers for all the shares offered for
sale are deemed to have "failed", with current holders receiving a
formula-based interest rate until the next scheduled auction.
o 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 that would have been necessary each year to equal
the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or
market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if
any) over the time period being considered.
o AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of the number of years to maturity
of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each bond's time
to maturity (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 unless an escrow account has been
established to redeem the bond before maturity. The market value weighting
for an investment in an inverse floating rate security is the value of the
portfolio's residual interest in the inverse floating rate trust, and does
not include the value of the floating rate securities issued by the trust.
o INVERSE FLOATERS: Inverse floating rate securities are created by
depositing a municipal bond, typically with a fixed interest rate, into a
special purpose trust created by a broker-dealer. This trust, in turn, (a)
issues floating rate certificates typically paying short-term tax-exempt
interest rates to third parties in amounts equal to some fraction of the
deposited bond's par amount or market value, and (b) issues an inverse
floating rate certificate (sometimes referred to as an "inverse floater")
to an investor (such as a Fund) interested in gaining investment exposure
to a long-term municipal bond. The income received by the holder of the
inverse floater varies inversely with the short-term rate paid to the
floating rate certificates' holders, and in most circumstances the holder
of the inverse floater bears substantially all of the underlying bond's
downside investment risk. The holder of the inverse floater typically also
benefits disproportionately from any potential appreciation of the
underlying bond's value. Hence, an inverse floater essentially represents
an investment in the underlying bond on a leveraged basis.
o LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the expected period
over which a bond's principal and interest will be paid, and consequently
is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond's or bond Fund's value to changes
when market interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond's 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 longer than the duration of the Fund's
portfolio of bonds.
o MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An
investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market
price.
o NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by
subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any Preferred shares
issued in order to leverage 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.
o 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.
o ZERO COUPON BOND: A zero coupon bond does not pay a regular interest coupon
to its holders during the life of the bond. Tax-exempt income to the holder
of the bond comes from accretion of the difference between the original
purchase price of the bond at issuance and the par value of the bond at
maturity and is effectively paid at maturity. The market prices of zero
coupon bonds generally are more volatile than the market prices of bonds
that pay interest periodically.
