The municipal bond market benefitted from attractive valuations and solid demand during the six-month fiscal reporting period ended November 30, 2012. Municipal securities with longer-term maturities and securities judged to be of lower credit quality tended to do particularly well during the period.
The Fiscal Six-Month Period in Review
For the six-month period ended November 30, 2012:
| PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II rose 10.98% on net asset value (NAV) and 13.07% on market price. |
| PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund II rose 13.27% on NAV and 12.12% on market price. |
| PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II rose 10.52% on NAV and 15.44% on market price. |
As the fiscal reporting period began, gross domestic product (GDP), the value of goods and services produced in the country, the broadest measure of economic activity and the principal indicator of economic performance, was expanding at a 1.3% annual rate during April-to-June, before accelerating to 3.1% growth during July-to-September 2012.
The Federal Reserve (the Fed) maintained a cautious stance revealing the launch of third round of so-called quantitative easing. This initiative would entail the purchase of $40 billion of mortgage securities each month for the foreseeable future. The objective is to lower, already record low mortgage rates in an effort to boost the housing market. The Fed also indicated that the Fed Funds rate would remain in the 0.0% to 0.25% range well into 2015, longer than previously forecasted. Shortly after the fiscal reporting period ended, the Fed confirmed that it would continue a previously announced program to buy $45 billion of Treasury bonds each month. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke said these efforts would remain in place until the unemployment rate fell below 6.5%, which the Fed indicated may not be achieved until 2015.
Treasury yields were generally flat during the six-month fiscal reporting period. The benchmark ten-year Treasury bond began the fiscal period yielding 1.59% and ended it at 1.62%. At one point during the reporting period, the yield on the 10-year fell as low as 1.43%. Since interest rates on municipal bonds tend to track the rates of comparable Treasury bonds, many issuers of municipal securities refinanced existing bonds during reporting period. Refundings, reported Bond Buyer,

accounted for a large portion of the estimated $370 billion in municipal bond volume. By comparison, issuance of new securities was relatively modest.
Outlook
The improving U.S. economy is reflected not just in GDP growth, but in the falling unemployment rate, which dropped to 7.7% in November 2012 the lowest level since December 2008. Housing, a significant contributor to the recession of 2007-09, is improving both on a macro basis and in most key markets. These gains have bolstered the finances of state and local governments around the nation. Although states face a
collective $55 billion deficit in fiscal year 2013, they are in a much stronger financial position than a few years ago. We expect this trend to continue.
The federal government has fiscal problems of its own. We believe that lawmakers will edge away from the so-called fiscal cliff in order to avert negative consequences to the U.S. economy. Fiscal issues must eventually be dealt with, and one way of doing so is by growing the economy. In this respect, the United States is in the advantageous position of possessing, a vibrant, well-educated and flexible workforce, and demographics that bode well for the long-term. There is no denying that the U.S. economy faces serious challenges, however over countless market cycles and ever-changing economic conditions, it has always proven to be resilient. We are confident that this will once again be the case in the New Year.

PIMCO Municipal Income Funds II Fund Insights
November 30, 2012 (unaudited)
For the six-months ended November 30, 2012, PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II returned 10.98% on net asset value (NAV) and 13.07% on market price.
For the six-months ended November 30, 2012, PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund II returned 13.27% on NAV and 12.12% on market price.
For the six-months ended November 30, 2012, PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II returned 10.52% on NAV and 15.44% on market price.
The municipal bond market generated positive results during the fiscal six-month reporting period ended November 30, 2012. The overall municipal market, as measured by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index (the Index), posted positive returns during five of the six months of the period. Technical factors were the main driver of returns over the period as new money and issue supply was not sufficient to meet robust investor demand, as evident by positive municipal mutual fund flows through all but one week of the period. From a fundamental perspective, many states continue to benefit from positive year-over-year tax receipts, however local property tax receipts continue to decline leading to some underperformance in the general obligation market versus most revenue sectors. All told, during the six-month period, the Index returned 4.18%. In comparison, the overall taxable fixed income market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 1.99% during the same period.
Performance benefited from a preference for revenue bonds versus general obligation bonds as revenue bonds outperformed general obligation bonds during the reporting period. The Funds were overweight in the Tobacco and corporate-backed sectors which was beneficial for results as both sectors outperformed the Index. New York Municipal Income Fund II also received a positive contribution from an overweight to the Health Care sector.
The Funds underweight exposure to the Water and Sewer Utility sector contributed to results as this sector outperformed in comparison to the Index. Municipal Income Fund IIs and New York Municipal Income Fund IIs underweight to the Transportation sector detracted from results. A shorter duration than the benchmark detracted from the performance of all three Funds as municipal yields declined during the six-month reporting period.

(1) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Total return is calculated by determining the percentage change in NAV or market price (as applicable) in the specified period. The calculation assumes that all income dividends, capital gain and return of capital distributions, if any, have been reinvested. Total return does not reflect broker commissions or sales charges in connection with the purchase or sale of Fund shares. Total return for a period of less than one year is not annualized. Total return for a period of more than one year represents the average annual total return.
Performance at market price will differ from results at NAV. Although market price returns typically reflect investment results over time, during shorter periods returns at market price can also be influenced by factors such as changing views about the Funds, market conditions, supply and demand for each Funds shares, or changes in each Funds dividends.
An investment in the Funds involves risk, including the loss of principal. Total return, market price, market price yield and NAV will fluctuate with changes in market conditions. This data is provided for information purposes only and is not intended for trading purposes. Closed-end funds, unlike open-end funds, are not continuously offered. There is a one time public offering and once issued, shares of closed-end funds are traded in the open market through a stock exchange. NAV is equal to total assets attributable to common shareholders less total liabilities divided by the number of common shares outstanding. Holdings are subject to change daily.
(2) Market Price Yield is determined by dividing the annualized current monthly dividend per common share (comprised of net investment income) by the market price per common share at November 30, 2012.
(3) Represents Floating Rate Notes issued in tender option bond transactions and Preferred Shares (collectively Leverage) outstanding, as a percentage of total managed assets. Total managed assets refer to the total assets (including assets attributable to Leverage) minus accrued liabilities (other than liabilities representing Leverage).

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II (Municipal II), PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund II (California Municipal II) and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II (New York Municipal II), (each a Fund and collectively referred to as the Funds or PIMCO Municipal Income Funds II), were organized as Massachusetts business trusts on March 29, 2002. Prior to commencing operations on June 28, 2002, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and registration as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940; as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder. Allianz Global Investors Fund Management LLC (the Investment Manager) and Pacific Investment Management Company LLC ("PIMCO" or the "Sub-Adviser") serves as the investment manager and sub-adviser, respectively, and are indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Allianz Asset Management of America L.P. (AAM). AAM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Allianz SE, a publicly traded European insurance and financial services company. Each Fund has authorized an unlimited amount of common shares with $0.00001 par value.
Under normal market conditions, Municipal II invests substantially all of its assets in a portfolio of municipal bonds, the interest from which is exempt from U.S. federal income taxes. Under normal market conditions, California Municipal II invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that is exempt from federal and California state income taxes. Under normal market conditions, New York Municipal II invests substantially all of its assets in municipal bonds which pay interest that is exempt from federal, New York State and New York City income taxes. There can be no assurance that the Funds will meet their stated objectives. The Funds will generally seek to avoid investing in bonds generating interest income which could potentially subject individuals to alternative minimum tax. The issuers abilities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic and political developments in a specific state or region.
The preparation of the Funds' financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in each Funds financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide general indemnifications. 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.
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-11, Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities, which requires enhanced disclosures that will enable users to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entitys financial position, including the effect or potential effect of rights of setoff associated with certain financial instruments and derivative instruments. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Funds' management is currently evaluating the effect that the guidance may have on the Funds' financial statements.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds:
(a) Valuation of Investments
Portfolio securities and other financial instruments for which market quotations are readily available are stated at market value. Market value is generally determined on the basis of last reported sales prices, or if no sales are reported, on the basis of quotes obtained from a quotation reporting system, established market makers, or independent pricing services. The Funds' investments are valued daily using prices supplied by an independent pricing service or dealer quotations, or by using the last sale price on the exchange that is the primary market for such securities, or the mean between the last quoted bid and ask price. Independent pricing services use information provided by market makers or estimates of market values obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis are marked to market daily until settlement at the forward settlement date.
The Board of Trustees (the Board) has adopted procedures for valuing portfolio securities and other financial derivative instruments in circumstances where market quotes are not readily available, and has delegated the responsibility for applying the valuation methods to the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser, an affiliate of the Investment Manager. The Funds' Valuation Committee was established by the Board to oversee the implementation of the Funds' valuation methods and to make fair value determinations on behalf of the Board, as instructed. The Sub-Adviser monitors the

PIMCO Municipal Income Funds II Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2012 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
continued appropriateness of methods applied and determines if adjustments should be made in light of market changes, events affecting the issuer, or other factors. If the Sub-Adviser determines that a valuation method may no longer be appropriate, another valuation method may be selected, or the Valuation Committee will be convened to consider the matter and take any appropriate action in accordance with procedures set forth by the Board. The Board shall review the appropriateness of the valuation methods and these methods may be amended or supplemented from time to time by the Valuation Committee.
Short-term securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, if their original term to maturity was 60 days or less, or by amortizing their value on the 61st day prior to maturity, if the original term to maturity exceeded 60 days.
The prices used by the Funds to value securities may differ from the value that would be realized if the securities were sold, and these differences could be material to the Funds' financial statements. Each Funds' net asset value ("NAV") is normally determined as of the close of regular trading (normally, 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on each day the NYSE is open for business.
(b) Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. the exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| Level 1 quoted prices in active markets for identical investments that the Funds have the ability to access |
| Level 2 valuations based on other significant observable inputs, which may include, but are not limited to, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates or other market corroborated inputs |
| Level 3 valuations based on significant unobservable inputs (including the Sub-Adviser's or Valuation Committee's own assumptions and single broker quotes in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following are certain inputs and techniques that the Funds generally use to evaluate how to classify each major category of assets and liabilities for Level 2 and Level 3, in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
Municipal Bonds & Notes and Variable Rate Notes Municipal bonds & notes and variable rate notes are valued by independent pricing services based on pricing models that take into account, among other factors, information received from market makers and broker-dealers, current trades, bid-want lists, offerings, market movements, the callability of the bond, state of issuance, benchmark yield curves, and bond or note insurance. To the extent that these inputs are observable, the values of municipal bonds & notes and variable rate notes are categorized as Level 2. To the extent that these inputs are unobservable, the values are categorized as Level 3.
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the six months ended November 30, 2012 were intended to maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
The Funds' policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the end of the reporting period. An investment assets or liabilitys level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level input, individually or in aggregate, that is significant to the fair value measurement. The objective of fair value measurement remains the same even when there is a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability and regardless of the valuation techniques used. Investments categorized as Level 1 or 2 as of period end may have been transferred between Levels 1 and 2 since the prior period due to changes in the valuation method utilized in valuing the investments.
(c) Investment Transactions and Investment Income
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on an identified cost basis. Interest income adjusted for the accretion of discount and amortization of premium is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts or premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted or amortized, respectively, to interest income.

1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
(d) Federal Income Taxes
The Funds intend to distribute all of their taxable income and to comply with the other requirements of Subchapter M of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes is required.
Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes establishes for all entities, including pass-through entities such as the Funds, a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of positions taken in filing tax returns (including whether an entity is taxable in a particular jurisdiction), and requires certain expanded tax disclosures. The Funds' management has determined that its evaluation has resulted in no material impact to the Funds' financial statements at November 30, 2012. The Funds' federal tax returns for the prior three years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service.
(e) Dividends and Distributions Common Shares
The Funds declare dividends from net investment income to common shareholders monthly. Distributions of net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. The Funds record dividends and distributions on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book-tax differences are considered either temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal income tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and/or distributions exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes, they are reported as dividends and/or distributions to shareholders from return of capital.
(f) Inverse Floating Rate Transactions Residual Interest Municipal Bonds (RIBs) / Residual Interest Tax Exempt Bonds (RITEs)
The Funds invest in RIBs and RITEs (Inverse Floaters), whose interest rates bear an inverse relationship to the interest rate on another security or the value of an index. In inverse floating rate transactions, the Funds sell a fixed rate municipal bond (Fixed Rate Bond) to a broker who places the Fixed Rate Bond in a special purpose trust (Trust) from which floating rate bonds (Floating Rate Notes) and Inverse Floaters are issued. The Funds simultaneously or within a short period of time, purchase the Inverse Floaters from the broker. The Inverse Floaters held by the Funds provide the Funds with the right to: (1) cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to tender their notes at par, and (2) cause the broker to transfer the Fixed-Rate Bond held by the Trust to the Funds, thereby collapsing the Trust. The Funds account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Fixed Rate Bond in their Schedules of Investments, and account for the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption Payable for Floating Rate Notes issued in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date.
The Funds may also invest in Inverse Floaters without transferring a fixed rate municipal bond into a Trust, which are not accounted for as secured borrowings. The Funds may also invest in Inverse Floaters for the purpose of increasing leverage.
The Inverse Floaters are created by dividing the income stream provided by the underlying bonds to create two securities, one short-term and one long-term. The interest rate on the short-term component is reset by an index or auction process typically every 7 to 35 days. After income is paid on the short-term securities at current rates, the residual income from the underlying bond(s) goes to the long-term securities. Therefore, rising short-term rates result in lower income for the long-term component and vice versa. The longer-term bonds may be more volatile and less liquid than other municipal bonds of comparable maturity. Investments in Inverse Floaters typically will involve greater risk than in an investment in Fixed Rate Bonds.
The Funds' restrictions on borrowings do not apply to the secured borrowings deemed to have occurred for accounting purposes. Inverse Floaters held by the Funds are exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.

November 30, 2012 (unaudited)
1. Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
In addition to general market risks, the Funds investments in Inverse Floaters may involve greater risk and volatility than an investment in a fixed rate bond, and the value of Inverse Floaters may decrease significantly when market interest rates increase. Inverse Floaters have varying degrees of liquidity, and the market for these securities may be volatile. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when interest rates decline or remain relatively stable. Although volatile, Inverse Floaters typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality, coupon, call provisions and maturity. Trusts in which Inverse Floaters may be held could be terminated due to market, credit or other events beyond the Funds control, which could require the Funds to reduce leverage and dispose of portfolio investments at inopportune times and prices.
(g) Restricted Securities
The Funds are permitted to invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These securities generally may be resold in transactions exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered. Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and expenses, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult.
(h) Interest Expense
Interest expense relates to the Funds' participation in Floating Rate Notes held by third parties in conjunction with Inverse Floater transactions.
(i) Custody Credits on Cash Balances
The Funds may benefit from an expense offset arrangement with their custodian bank, whereby uninvested cash balances may earn credits that reduce monthly custodian and accounting agent expenses. Had these cash balances been invested in income-producing securities, they would have generated income for the Funds. Cash overdraft charges, if any, are included in custodian and accounting agent fees.
2. Principal Risks
In the normal course of business, the Funds trade financial instruments and enter into financial transactions where risk of potential loss exists due to, among other things, changes in the market (market risk) or failure of the other party to a transaction to perform (counterparty risk). The Funds are also exposed to other risks such as, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and leverage risks.
Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. As nominal interest rates rise, the values of certain fixed income securities held by the Funds are likely to decrease. A nominal interest rate can be described as the sum of a real interest rate and an expected inflation rate. Fixed income securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter durations. Duration is used primarily as a measure of the sensitivity of a fixed income security's market price to interest rate (i.e. yield) movements.
Variable and floating rate securities generally are less sensitive to interest rate changes but may decline in value if their interest rates do not rise as much, or as quickly, as interest rates in general. Conversely, floating rate securities will not generally increase in value if interest rates decline. Inverse floating rate securities may decrease in value if interest rates increase. Inverse floating rate securities may also exhibit greater price volatility than a fixed rate obligation with similar credit quality. When a Fund holds variable or floating rate securities, a decrease (or, in the case of inverse floating rate securities, an increase) in market interest rates will adversely affect the income received from such securities and the NAV of the Funds' shares.
The Funds are exposed to credit risk, which is the risk of losing money if the issuer or guarantor of a fixed income security is unable or unwilling, or is perceived (whether by market participants, rating agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations. Securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk, which are often reflected in credit ratings.

PIMCO Municipal Income Funds II Notes to Financial Statements
November 30, 2012 (unaudited)
2. Principal Risks (continued)
The market values of securities may decline due to general market conditions (market risk) which are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic conditions, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates or adverse investor sentiment. They may also decline due to factors that affect a particular industry or industries, such as labor shortages or increased production costs and competitive conditions within an industry. Equity securities and equity-related investments generally have greater market price volatility than fixed income securities.
The Funds are exposed to counterparty risk, or the risk that an institution or other entity with which the Funds have unsettled or open transactions will default. The potential loss to the Funds could exceed the value of the financial assets recorded in the Funds' financial statements. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Funds to counterparty risk, consist principally of cash due from counterparties and investments. The Sub-Adviser, seeks to minimize the Funds' counterparty risk by performing reviews of each counterparty and by minimizing concentration of counterparty risk by undertaking transactions with multiple customers and counterparties on recognized and reputable exchanges. Delivery of securities sold is only made once the Funds have received payment. Payment is made on a purchase once the securities have been delivered by the counterparty. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.
The Funds are exposed to risks associated with leverage. Leverage may cause the value of the Funds' shares to be more volatile than if the Funds did not use leverage. This is because leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the Funds' portfolio securities. The Funds may engage in transactions or purchase instruments that give rise to forms of leverage. In addition, to the extent the Funds employ leverage, interest costs may not be recovered by any appreciation of the securities purchased with the leverage proceeds and could exceed the Funds' investment returns, resulting in greater losses.
The Funds are party to International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreements ("ISDA Master Agreements") with select counterparties that govern transactions, over-the-counter derivatives and foreign exchange contracts entered into by the Funds and those counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements contain provisions for general obligations, representations, agreements, collateral and events of default or termination. Events of termination include conditions that may entitle counterparties to elect to terminate early and cause settlement of all outstanding transactions under the applicable ISDA Master Agreement. Any election to terminate early could be material to the financial statements of the Funds.
3. Financial Derivative Instruments
Disclosure about derivatives and hedging activities requires qualitative disclosure regarding objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosure about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivatives, and disclosure about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. The disclosure requirements distinguish between derivatives, which are accounted for as "hedges", and those that do not qualify for such accounting. Although the Funds sometimes use derivatives for hedging purposes, the Funds reflect derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Funds' Statements of Operations, and such derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.
(a) Futures Contracts
The Funds use futures contracts to manage their exposure to the securities markets or the movements in interest rates and currency values. A futures contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, the Funds are required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the exchange. Pursuant to the contracts, the Funds agree to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash or securities equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contracts. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. When the contracts are closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contracts at the time they were opened and the value at the time they were closed. Any unrealized appreciation or depreciation recorded is simultaneously reversed. The use of futures transactions involves various risks, including the risk of an imperfect correlation in the movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates and underlying hedging assets, and possible inability or unwillingness of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.

4. Investment Manager/Sub-Adviser
Each Fund has an Investment Management Agreement (each an Agreement) with the Investment Manager. Subject to the supervision of each Fund's Board, the Investment Manager is responsible for managing, either directly or through others selected by it, the Funds' investment activities, business affairs and administrative matters. Pursuant to each Agreement, the Investment Manager receives an annual fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate of 0.65% of each Fund's average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any Preferred Shares that were outstanding. For the period July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, the Investment Manager voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its fee for each Fund at the annual rate of 0.05% of each Funds average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any Preferred Shares that were outstanding. For the six months ended November 30, 2012, each Fund paid investment management fees at an effective rate of 0.64% of each Funds average daily net assets, inclusive of net assets attributable to any Preferred Shares that were outstanding.
The Investment Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to manage the Funds' investments. Subject to the supervision of the Investment Manager, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for making all of the Funds' investment decisions. The Investment Manager, not the Funds, pays a portion of the fees it receives as Investment Manager to the Sub-Adviser in return for its services.

The Funds are subject to certain limitations and restrictions while Preferred Shares are outstanding. Failure to comply with these limitations and restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring or paying any dividends or distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of Preferred Shares at their liquidation preference plus any accumulated, unpaid dividends.
Preferred shareholders, who are entitled to one vote per share, generally vote together with the common shareholders but vote separately as a class to elect two Trustees and on any matters affecting the rights of the Preferred Shares.
Since mid-February 2008, holders of auction-rate preferred shares (ARPS) issued by the Funds have been directly impacted by an unprecedented lack of liquidity, which has similarly affected ARPS holders in many of the nations closed-end funds. Since then, regularly scheduled auctions for ARPS issued by the Funds have consistently failed because of insufficient demand (bids to buy shares) to meet the supply (shares offered for sale) at each auction. In a failed auction, ARPS holders cannot sell all, and may not be able to sell any, of their shares tendered for sale. While repeated auction failures have affected the liquidity for ARPS, they do not constitute a default or automatically alter the credit quality of the ARPS, and the ARPS holders have continued to receive dividends at the defined maximum rate equal to the higher of the 30-day AA Composite Commercial Paper Rate multiplied by 110% or the Taxable Equivalent of the Short-Term Municipal Obligations Rate-defined as 90% of the quotient of (A) the per annum rate expressed on an interest equivalent basis equal to the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade Index divided by (B) 1.00 minus the Marginal Tax Rate (expressed as a decimal) multiplied by 110% (which is a function of short-term interest rates and typically higher than the rate that would have otherwise been set through a successful auction). If the Funds ARPS auctions continue to fail and the maximum rate payable on the ARPS rises as a result of changes in short-term interest rates, returns for the Funds common shareholders could be adversely affected. In the Fall of 2012 S&P Evaluation Services announced that it will discontinue providing the S&P Weekly High Grade Municipal Bond Index (formerly, the Kenny S&P 30-day High Grade

The Funds Boards approved the use of the S&P Municipal Bond 7 day High Grade Rate Index in replacement of the Prior Index to calculate ARPS dividend rates on and after January 1, 2013, as well as corresponding amendments to The Funds bylaws will be amended effective January 1, 2013, to reflect this change.
In July 2012, Moodys Investor Service downgraded its ratings for each series of the Funds Preferred Shares from Aaa to Aa2.

PIMCO Municipal Income Funds II
Matters Relating to the Trustees Consideration of the Investment Management & Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited)
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that both the full Board of Trustees (the Trustees) and a majority of the non-interested Trustees (the Independent Trustees), voting separately, approve each Funds Management Agreement with the Investment Manager (the Advisory Agreement) and Portfolio Management Agreement between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser (the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the Agreements). The Trustees met in person on June 26-27, 2012 (the contract review meeting) for the specific purpose of considering whether to approve the continuation of the Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately from Fund management during the contract review meeting.
Based on their evaluation of factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described below, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, concluded that the continuation of each Funds Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved for a one-year period commencing July 1, 2012.
In connection with their deliberations regarding the continuation of the Agreements, the Trustees, including the Independent Trustees, considered such information and factors as they believed, in light of the legal advice furnished to them and their own business judgment, to be relevant. As described below, the Trustees considered the nature, quality, and extent of the various investment management, administrative and other services performed by the Investment Manager or the Sub-Adviser under the applicable Agreement.
In connection with their contract review meetings, the Trustees received and relied upon materials provided by the Investment Manager which included, among other items: (i) information provided by Lipper Inc. (Lipper) on the total return investment performance (based on net assets) of the Funds for various time periods, the investment performance of a group of funds with substantially similar investment classifications/objectives as the Funds identified by Lipper and the performance of an applicable benchmark index, (ii) information provided by Lipper on the Funds management fees and other expenses and the management fees and other expenses of comparable funds identified by Lipper, (iii) information regarding the investment performance and management fees of any comparable portfolios of other clients of the Sub-Adviser, (iv) the estimated profitability to the Investment Manager from its relationship with the Funds for the one-year period ended December 31, 2011, (v) descriptions of various functions performed by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser for the Funds, such as portfolio management, compliance monitoring and portfolio trading practices, and (vi) information regarding the overall organization of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, including information regarding senior management, portfolio managers and other personnel providing investment management, administrative and other services to the Funds.
The Trustees conclusions as to the continuation of the Agreements were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Trustees and were not the result of any single factor. Some of the factors that figured particularly in the Trustees deliberations are described below, although individual Trustees may have evaluated the information presented differently from one another, attributing different weights to various factors.
As part of their review, the Trustees examined the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers abilities to provide high quality investment management and other services to the Funds. The Trustees considered the investment philosophy and research and decision-making processes of the Sub-Adviser; the experience of key advisory personnel of the Sub-Adviser responsible for portfolio management of the Funds; the ability of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain capable personnel; the capability and integrity of the senior management and staff of the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser; and the level of skill required to manage the Funds. In addition, the Trustees reviewed the quality of the Investment Managers and the Sub-Advisers services with respect to regulatory compliance and compliance with the investment policies of the Funds; the nature and quality of certain administrative services the Investment Manager is responsible for providing to the Funds; and conditions that might affect the Investment Managers or the Sub-Advisers ability to provide high quality services to the Funds in the future under the Agreements, including each organizations respective business reputation, financial condition and operational stability. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the Sub-Advisers investment process, research capabilities and philosophy were well suited to each of the Funds given its investment objective and policies, and that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser would be able to continue to meet any reasonably foreseeable obligations under the Agreements.

Matters Relating to the Trustees Consideration of the Investment Management & Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
Based on information provided by Lipper, the Trustees also reviewed each Funds total return investment performance as well as the performance of comparable funds identified by Lipper. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees took into account information provided by the Investment Manager in connection with the contract review meeting, as well as during investment review meetings conducted with portfolio management personnel during the course of the year regarding each Funds performance.
In assessing the reasonableness of each Funds fees under the Agreements, the Trustees considered, among other information, each Funds management fee and its total expense ratio as a percentage of average net assets attributable to common shares, preferred shares and other forms of leverage and the management fee and total expense ratios of comparable funds identified by Lipper.
The Trustees specifically took note of how each Fund compared to its Lipper peers as to performance, management fee expense and total net expenses. The Trustees noted that while the Funds are not charged a separate administration fee, it was not clear whether the peer funds in the Lipper categories were separately charged such a fee by their investment managers, so that the total expense ratio (rather than any individual expense component) represented the most relevant comparison. It was noted that the total expense ratio reflects the effect of expense waivers/reimbursements (although none exist for the Funds) and does not reflect interest expense.
Municipal II:
The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper consisted of a total of eleven closed-end funds, including the Fund and two other peer Funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Trustees noted that only leveraged closed-end funds were considered for inclusion in the group. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the eleven funds in the peer group ranged from $237.2 million to $620.6 million, and that none of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked seventh out of eleven funds in the expense peer group for total expense ratio based on common share assets, fifth out of eleven funds in the expense peer group for total expense ratio based on common share and leveraged assets combined, eighth out of eleven funds in actual management fees based on common share assets and ninth out of eleven funds in actual management fees based on common share and leveraged assets combined (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked eleventh having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).
With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees noted that the Fund had first quintile performance for the one-year period and three-year periods and fifth quintile performance for the five-year period ended February 29, 2012.
California Municipal II:
The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper consisted of a total of nine closed-end funds, including the Fund and two other peer Funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Trustees noted that only leveraged closed-end funds were considered for inclusion in the group. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the nine funds in the peer group ranged from $28.4 million to $300.5 million, and that two of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked eighth out of nine funds in the expense peer group for total expense ratio based on common share assets and based on common share and leveraged assets combined and in actual management fees based on common share assets and based on common share and leveraged assets combined (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked ninth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).
With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees noted that the Fund had first quintile performance for the one-year period and three-year periods and fifth quintile performance for the five-year period ended February 29, 2012.

Matters Relating to the Trustees Consideration of the Investment Management & Portfolio Management Agreements (unaudited) (continued)
New York Municipal II:
The Trustees noted that the expense group for the Fund provided by Lipper consisted of a total of eight closed-end funds, including the Fund and two other peer Funds managed by the Investment Manager. The Trustees noted that only leveraged closed-end funds were considered for inclusion in the group. The Trustees also noted that average net assets of the common shares of the eight funds in the peer group ranged from $47.6 million to $112.2 million, and that none of the funds are larger in asset size than the Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Fund was ranked fifth out of eight funds in the expense peer group for total expense ratio based on common share assets, fourth out of eight funds in the expense peer group for total expense ratio based on common share and leveraged assets combined, seventh out of eight funds in actual management fees based on common share assets and based on common share and leveraged assets combined (with funds ranked first having the lowest fees/expenses and ranked eighth having the highest fees/expenses in the peer group).
With respect to Fund performance (based on net asset value), the Trustees noted that the Fund had first quintile performance for the one-year period and three-year periods and fifth quintile performance for the five-year period ended February 29, 2012.
In addition to their review of Fund performance based on net asset value, the Trustees also considered the market value performance of each Funds common shares and related share price premium and/or discount information based on the materials provided by Lipper and management.
The Trustees also considered the management fees charged by Sub-Adviser to other clients, including accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. The Trustees noted that the management fees paid by the Funds are generally higher than the fees paid by the open-end funds offered for comparison but were advised that there are additional portfolio management challenges in managing the Funds, such as those associated with the use of leverage and meeting a regular dividend.
The Trustees also took into account that the Funds have preferred shares outstanding, which increases the amount of fees received by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser under the Agreements (because the fees are calculated based on the Funds net assets, including assets attributable to preferred shares). In this regard, the Trustees took into account that the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser have a financial incentive for the Funds to continue to have preferred shares outstanding, which may create a conflict of interest between the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, on one hand, and the Funds common shareholders, on the other. In this regard, the Trustees considered information provided by the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser indicating that each Funds use of leverage through preferred shares continues to be appropriate and in the interests of the Funds common shareholders.
Based on a profitability analysis provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees also considered the estimated profitability of the Investment Manager from their relationship with each Fund and determined that such profitability did not appear to be excessive.
The Trustees also took into account that, as closed-end investment companies, the Funds do not currently intend to raise additional assets, so the assets of the Funds will grow (if at all) only through the investment performance of each Fund. Therefore, the Trustees did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fee rates payable under the Agreements.
Additionally, the Trustees considered so-called fall-out benefits to the Investment Manager and the Sub-Adviser, such as reputational value derived from serving as Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.
After reviewing these and other factors described herein, the Trustees concluded with respect to each Fund, within the context of their overall conclusions regarding the Agreements and based on the information provided and related representations made by management, that the fees payable under the Agreements represent reasonable compensation in light of the nature and quality of the services being provided by the Investment Manager and Sub-Adviser to the Funds.
