t Investments in securities by Neuberger Berman California Intermediate
Municipal Fund Inc. ("California"), Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal
Fund Inc. ("Intermediate"), and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate
Municipal Fund Inc. ("New York") (individually a "Fund", collectively, the
"Funds") are valued daily by obtaining bid price quotations from
independent pricing services on all securities available in each service's
data base. For all other securities requiring daily quotations, bid prices
are obtained from principal market makers in those securities or, if
quotations are not available, by a method the Funds' Board of Directors
believes accurately reflects fair value. Numerous factors may be considered
when determining the fair value of a security, including available analyst,
media or other reports, trading in futures or ADRs and whether the issuer
of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.
Short-term debt securities with less than 60 days until maturity may be
valued at cost which, when combined with interest earned, approximates
market value.
## At July 31, 2005, selected Fund information on a U.S. Federal income tax
basis was as follows:
GROSS GROSS NET
UNREALIZED UNREALIZED UNREALIZED
(000'S OMITTED) COST APPRECIATION DEPRECIATION APPRECIATION
CALIFORNIA $156,778 $4,953 $39 $4,914
INTERMEDIATE 470,217 16,782 329 16,453
NEW YORK 126,385 3,795 118 3,677
@ At time of investment, municipal securities purchased by the Funds are
within the four highest rating categories (with respect to at least 80% of
total assets) assigned by a nationally recognized statistical rating
organization ("NRSRO") such as Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Standard &
Poor's, or Fitch Investors Services, Inc. or, where not rated, are
determined by the Funds' investment manager to be of comparable quality.
Approximately 79%, 74%, and 56% of the municipal securities held by
California, Intermediate, and New York, respectively, have credit
enhancement features backing them, which the Funds may rely on, such as
letters of credit, insurance, or guarantees. Without these credit
enhancement features the securities may or may not meet the quality
standards of the Funds. Pre-refunded bonds are supported by securities in
escrow issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies, or
instrumentalities. The amount escrowed is sufficient to pay the periodic
interest due and the principal of these bonds. Putable bonds give the Funds
the right to sell back the issue on the date specified.
++ Security is guaranteed by the corporate or non-profit obligor.
** Security exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. These
securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally
to qualified institutional buyers under Rule 144A, and are deemed liquid.
At July 31, 2005, these securities amounted to $4,510,000 or 1.45% of net
assets for Intermediate.
^^ Not rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
