President's Letter

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present this semi-annual report for the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds for the six-month period ended April 30, 2009. The report includes portfolio commentary, listings of the Funds' investments, and their financial statements for the reporting period.

Each Fund's investment objective is to provide a high level of current income exempt from regular federal income tax and, for each state-specific fund, a high level of current income exempt from that state's personal income taxes (and, in the case of the New York Fund, New York City personal income tax).

We invest in intermediate-term municipal bonds because our experience and research indicate strongly that this maturity range has historically offered the best risk/reward profile on the yield curve, providing much of the return of longer-term bonds — with less volatility and risk. We believe that our conservative investment philosophy and disciplined investment process will benefit you with superior tax exempt current income over the long term.

Since early 2008, the market for auction rate preferred securities has experienced significant challenges that resulted in continued failed auctions for many of these securities. This includes the auction market preferred shares ("AMPS") issued by the Funds. We continue to work on potential solutions within this market to identify potential alternative financing structures that would allow the Funds to redeem their AMPS but still continue to use leverage.

Before concluding, I am pleased to inform you that in June 2009 each Fund completed a tender offer for 10% of its outstanding common shares. Additionally, during the reporting period, each Fund announced the implementation of a semi-annual tender offer program consisting of up to four tender offers over a two-year period. Under its tender offer program, if a Fund's common shares trade at an average daily discount to net asset value per share (NAV) of greater than 10% during a 12-week measurement period, the Fund would conduct a tender offer for between 5% and 20% of its outstanding common shares at a price equal to 98% of its NAV determined on the day the tender offer expires. As previously announced, each Fund's initial measurement period commenced on June 5, 2009 and will close on August 28, 2009. Also, to offset the expenses associated with the tender offers, Neuberger Berman has agreed to extend the fee waivers currently in place for the Funds.

Thank you for your trust in Neuberger Berman. We will continue to work hard to earn it.

Sincerely,

Robert Conti
President and CEO

Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds Portfolio Commentaries

For the six-month period ended April 30, 2009, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, all three of the Neuberger Berman closed-end intermediate municipal bond funds posted positive returns, but trailed the Barclays Capital 10-Year Municipal Bond Index benchmark.

As the reporting period began, the municipal market was still reeling from a combination of forced selling from highly leveraged hedge funds, issues related to the downgrades of municipal bond insurers, illiquidity, and the rapidly weakening economy. Collectively, this had caused municipal yields to reach a startling 125% to 150% of comparable maturity U.S. Treasury yields.

While investor risk aversion remained elevated in early November 2008, demand for high quality municipal bonds increased, likely due to their apparently compelling yields. This triggered a strong rally during the last two months of the calendar year. This momentum continued into 2009, as liquidity started to improve, the worst of the deleveraging appeared to be over, and new issuance activity started to pick up. This supply was generally met with solid demand. Toward the end of the reporting period, investor confidence in the government's initiatives to stabilize the financial system and hopes that the economy may be bottoming appeared to cause investor risk aversion to subside. This, in turn, supported lower rated, higher yielding municipal bonds, causing their prices to rally as well.

Against this backdrop, we actively managed each Fund's portfolio and continued to conduct extensive fundamental research on the credit characteristics of our existing and potential new holdings. Given the deteriorating state of the economy, we trimmed our exposure to weaker credits and more economically sensitive revenue bonds. In addition, the Funds' use of leverage enhanced their results.

The Funds' underperformance versus their benchmark was, in large part, due to their exposure to certain lower-tier investment-grade quality municipal securities, as well as some non-rated and below-investment-grade issues. Also detracting somewhat from performance was the Funds' overweight (versus the benchmark) to the airport sector and their underweight to strongly performing pre-refunded securities.

Looking ahead, we remain cautiously optimistic about the long-term prospects for the municipal market. The rate of the economy's decline appears to be moderating and, while a number of challenges remain, there is hope among investors that the worst may be behind us. Looking more closely at the municipal market, we believe yields remain attractive versus Treasuries, albeit less so than the extraordinary conditions that existed when the reporting period began. While new municipal supply should continue to be robust given the impact of the federal government's stimulus package, we believe this should be met with strong investor demand. In terms of portfolio management, we will continue to focus on conducting thorough in-house research as we seek to identify issues with the potential for credit upgrades and avoid securities that could be candidates for credit downgrades.

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", and collectively, the "Funds") are valued daily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include considerations such as: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; and general market conditions. If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, the Funds seek to obtain quotations from principal market makers. If such quotations are not readily available, securities are valued using methods each Fund's Board of Directors has approved on the belief that they reflect 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, is expected to approximate market value.

The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), effective November 1, 2008. In accordance with FAS 157, "fair value" is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.

In addition to defining fair value, FAS 157 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to establish a classification of fair value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

 
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
   

The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of April 30, 2009:

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 76%, 67%, and 63% 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.

 
ß Security is guaranteed by the corporate or non-profit obligor.
 
ñ Restricted security subject to restrictions on resale under federal securities laws.

Notes to Financial Statements Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds (Unaudited)

Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

1 General: 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") (each a "Fund", and collectively the "Funds") were organized as Maryland corporations on July 29, 2002. California and New York are registered as non-diversified, closed-end management investment companies and Intermediate is registered as a diversified, closed-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Each Fund's Board of Directors may classify or re-classify any unissued shares of capital stock into one or more classes of preferred stock without the approval of shareholders.

The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
2 Portfolio valuation: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Funds' Schedule of Investments.
   
3 Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations.
 
4

Income tax information: Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its earnings to its shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

The Funds have adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48") "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109". FIN 48 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of the benefit of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the prior three fiscal years 2005—2007. As of April 30, 2009, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund as a whole.

As determined on October 31, 2008, there were no permanent differences resulting from different book and tax accounting reclassified at fiscal year-end.




27


The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2008 and October 31, 2007 were as follows:
    Distributions Paid From:  
    Tax-Exempt Income   Ordinary Income   Total  
    2008   2007   2008   2007   2008   2007  
California   $ 6,458,574     $ 6,689,147     $ 7,760     $ 6,563     $ 6,466,334     $ 6,695,710    
Intermediate     20,178,654       20,429,346       38,868       40,416       20,217,522       20,469,762    
New York     5,304,908       5,418,857       6,228       4,701       5,311,136       5,423,558    

As of October 31, 2008, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a U.S federal income tax basis were as follows:


    Undistributed
Tax-Exempt
Income
  Undistributed
Ordinary
Income
  Undistributed
Long-Term
Gain
  Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
  Loss
Carryforwards
and Deferrals
  Total  
California   $ 102,299     $     $     $ (7,690,412 )   $ (163,782 )   $ (7,751,895 )  
Intermediate     988,618                   (22,600,016 )     (1,256,493 )     (22,867,891 )  
New York     224,211                   (7,092,151 )     (807,589 )     (7,675,529 )  

The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings is attributable primarily to timing differences of distributions payable and distribution payments.

To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. As determined at October 31, 2008, the Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:



    Expiring in:  
    2011   2012   2013   2014   2015   2016  
California   $     $ 159,305     $ 4,477     $     $     $    
Intermediate     509,968       328,363       58,816             126,780       232,566    
New York     362,560       156,636       18,838                   269,555    

During the year ended October 31, 2008, California utilized capital loss carryforwards of $66,302.

 
5

Distributions to shareholders: Each Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. It is the policy of each Fund to declare and pay monthly distributions. Distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are normally distributed in December. Distributions to common shareholders are recorded on the ex-date. Distributions to preferred shareholders are accrued and determined as described in Note A-7.

Subsequent to April 30, 2009, each Fund declared a monthly distribution to common shareholders payable June 15, 2009, to shareholders of record on May 28, 2009, with an ex-date of May 26, 2009 as follows:



    Distribution per share  
California   $ 0.053294    
Intermediate     0.054217    
New York     0.053430    

6 Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributed to a Fund are allocated among the Funds and the other investment companies in the complex or series thereof on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each investment company in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly.



28



7 Financial Leverage: On October 21, 2002, the Funds re-classified unissued shares of capital stock into several series of Auction Market Preferred Shares ("AMPS"), as follows:


    Series A Shares   Series B Shares  
California     1,500       1,500    
Intermediate     4,000       4,000    
New York     1,500       1,500    

On December 13, 2002, the Funds issued several series of AMPS, as follows:


    Series A Shares   Series B Shares  
California     1,180       1,180    
Intermediate     3,588       3,588    
New York     965       965    

All shares of each series of AMPS have a liquidation preference of $25,000 per share plus any accumulated unpaid distributions, whether or not earned or declared by the Fund, but excluding interest thereon ("Liquidation Value"). Distributions to AMPS shareholders, which are cumulative, are accrued daily. It is the policy of each Fund to pay distributions every 7 days for each Fund's AMPS Series A and every 28 days for each Fund's AMPS Series B, unless in a special rate period.

In the absence of a special rate period, distribution rates are reset every 7 days for each Fund's AMPS Series A, based on the results of an auction. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, distribution rates ranged from:



    Distribution Rate  
California     0.64 % – 2.99%  
Intermediate     0.59 % – 3.00%  
New York     0.59 % – 3.09%  

In the absence of a special rate period, distribution rates are reset every 28 days for each Fund's AMPS Series B, based on the results of an auction. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, distribution rates ranged from:


    Distribution Rate  
California     0.66 % – 2.99%  
Intermediate     0.66 % – 8.68%  
New York     0.66 % – 8.45%  

The Funds declared distributions to AMPS shareholders for the period May 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009 for each series of the AMPS as follows:


    Series A Shares   Series B Shares  
California   $ 16,178     $ 16,700    
Intermediate     48,125       50,975    
New York     13,269       13,801    

Since February 2008, the market for auction rate preferred securities has experienced an unprecedented number of failed auctions. A failed auction occurs when sellers outnumber bidders, and as a result, sellers cannot sell all, and in many cases any, of their auction rate preferred securities. When a failed auction occurs, the distribution rate for auction rate preferred securities resets to a maximum rate, which is typically determined according to a formula applied to a "base" rate. Historically, if there were not a sufficient number of bids to purchase all the auction rate preferred securities submitted to be sold in an auction, one or more broker-dealers would voluntarily allocate their own capital to purchase the remaining auction rate preferred securities. In doing so, the broker-dealer(s) would



29



prevent a failed auction and, therefore, payment of distributions at the maximum rate. In 2008, most broker-dealers ceased allocating their capital to auctions for auction rate preferred securities, resulting in the unprecedented number of failed auctions.

Beginning in February 2008, the auctions for the Funds' AMPS have consistently failed. Although the failed auctions have resulted in a lack of liquidity for preferred shareholders, they are not an event of default for the Funds nor have they affected the credit quality of the AMPS, which all continue to be rated AAA/Aaa. The Funds have paid, and continue to pay, distributions on their AMPS that are set at the maximum rate, which is 110% of the base rate (the base rate is the greater of an "AA" rated composite commercial paper rate or the taxable equivalent of a short-term municipal bond rate) as a result of the failed auctions.

If auctions continue to fail and the maximum rate increases due to changes in short term interest rates, the Funds' returns for common shareholders could be adversely affected. The Funds continue to monitor the developments in the AMPS market to attempt to identify alternative financing arrangements that would enable the Funds to redeem their AMPS but continue using leverage. The Funds will consider the interests of the common and preferred shareholders when evaluating any potential solutions.

The Funds may redeem shares of each series of AMPS, in whole or in part, on the second business day preceding any distribution payment date at Liquidation Value.

The Funds are also subject to certain restrictions relating to the AMPS. Failure to comply with these restrictions could preclude the Funds from declaring any distributions to common shareholders or repurchasing common shares and/or could trigger the mandatory redemption of AMPS at Liquidation Value.

The holders of AMPS are entitled to one vote per share and will vote with holders of common shares as a single class, except that the AMPS will vote separately as a class on certain matters, as required by law or a Fund's charter. The holders of a Fund's AMPS, voting as a separate class, are entitled at all times to elect two Directors of the Fund, and to elect a majority of the Directors of the Fund if the Fund fails to pay distributions on AMPS for two consecutive years.

 
8 Concentration of risk: The ability of the issuers of the debt securities held by the Funds to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments, including those particular to a specific industry or region. California and New York normally invest substantially all of their assets in municipal bonds of issuers located in the state of California and the state of New York, respectively. The value of each of these Funds' securities are more susceptible to adverse economic, political, regulatory or other factors affecting the issuers of such municipal bonds than a fund that does not limit its investments to such issuers.
 
9 Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Funds' organizational documents provide that their officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, both in some of their principal service contracts and in the normal course of their business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against each Fund.

Note B—Management Fees, Administration Fees, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

Each Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, each Fund pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily Managed Assets. Managed Assets equal the total assets of the Fund, less liabilities other than the aggregate indebtedness entered into for purposes of leverage. For purposes of calculating Managed Assets, the Liquidation Value of any AMPS outstanding is not considered a liability.



30



Management has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fees it is entitled to receive from each Fund at the following annual rates:


Year Ended
October 31,
  % of Average
Daily Managed Assets
 
  2009       0.15    
  2010       0.10    
  2011       0.05    

Management has not agreed to waive any portion of its fees beyond October 31, 2011.

In connection with the May 2009 tender offer and the tender offer program, Management has agreed to voluntarily extend for one year the contractual fee waivers currently in place, so that the fee waiver as a percentage of average daily Managed Assets for each fund would be 0.15% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, 0.10% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, and 0.05% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.

For the six months ended April 30, 2009, such waived fees amounted to $110,796, $339,467, and $89,486 for California, Intermediate, and New York, respectively.

Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.30% of its average daily Managed Assets under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.

Neuberger is retained by Management to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to each Fund. Several individuals who are officers and/or Directors of each Fund are also employees of Neuberger and/or Management.

During the reporting period, the predecessor of Management, the investment manager of the Funds, and Neuberger Berman, LLC, the sub-adviser of the Funds, were wholly owned subsidiaries of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman Brothers"), a publicly owned holding company. On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On December 3, 2008, NBSH Acquisition, LLC ("NBSH"), an entity organized by key members of Neuberger Berman's senior management, was selected as the successful bidder in the public auction to acquire a majority interest in Neuberger Berman's business and the fixed income and certain alternative asset management businesses of Lehman Brothers' Investment Management Division (together with Neuberger Berman, the "Acquired Businesses") (the "Acquisition"). On December 22, 2008, the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over the Lehman Brothers matter approved the sale of the Acquired Businesses to NBSH (or its successor or assign), as the successful bidder.

 The Acquisition closed after the end of the reporting period. As of May 4, 2009, the Acquired Businesses are now indirectly owned by, among others, portfolio managers, Neuberger Berman's management team, and certain key members and senior professionals who are employed in various parts of the Neuberger Berman complex of companies, with a minority interest retained by Lehman Brothers and certain affiliates of Lehman Brothers.

The closing of the Acquisition resulted in an "assignment" of each Fund's Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. Such an assignment, by law, would automatically terminate those agreements. Accordingly, prior to the closing, the Board of each Fund, including the Directors who are not "interested persons" of the Funds' investment manager and its affiliates or the Funds, considered and approved a new Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement and an interim Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement for its Fund. The interim agreements, which are virtually identical to the agreements previously in effect and can remain in effect for up to 150 days, became effective upon the closing of the Acquisition. The new agreements, which are virtually




31



identical to those previously in effect and require shareholder approval, were approved by votes of the Funds' shareholders in May 2009.

These events have not had a material impact on the Funds or their operations. Management and Neuberger Berman LLC (formerly known as Neuberger Berman, LLC) ("Neuberger") continue to operate in the ordinary course of business as the investment manager and sub-adviser of the Funds.

Each Fund has an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. For the six months ended April 30, 2009, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $1,028, $4,751, and $1,182 for California, Intermediate, and New York, respectively.

In connection with the settlement of each AMPS auction, each Fund pays, through the auction agent, a service fee to each participating broker-dealer based upon the aggregate liquidation preference of the AMPS held by the broker-dealer's customers. For any auction preceding a rate period of less than one year, the service fee is paid at the annual rate of 1/4 of 1%; for any auction preceding a rate period of one year or more, the service fee is paid at a rate agreed to by each Fund and the broker-dealer.

In order to satisfy rating agencies' requirements, each Fund is required to provide each rating agency a report on a monthly basis verifying that each Fund is maintaining eligible assets having a discounted value equal to or greater than the Preferred Shares Basic Maintenance Amount, which is a minimum level set by each rating agency as one of the conditions to maintain the AAA/Aaa rating on the AMPS. "Discounted value" refers to the fact that the rating agencies require each Fund, in performing this calculation, to discount portfolio securities below their face value, at rates determined by the rating agencies. Each Fund pays a fee to State Street for the preparation of this report which is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Basic maintenance expense."



Note C—Securities Transactions:

During the six months ended April 30, 2009, there were purchase and sale transactions (excluding short-term securities) as follows:


(000's omitted)   Purchases   Sales

Note E—Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In March 2008, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("FAS 161"), was issued. FAS 161 is intended to improve financial reporting for derivative instruments by requiring enhanced disclosure that enables investors to understand how and why an entity uses derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect an entity's results of operations and financial position. In September 2008, FASB Staff Position No. 133-1 and FASB Interpretation No. 45-4 (the "FSP"), "Disclosures about Credit Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161" was issued. Certain provisions of the FSP amend FASB Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," to require disclosures by sellers of credit derivatives, including credit derivatives embedded in hybrid instruments. These FSP provisions are effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after November 15, 2008. At this time, Management has assessed the implication of these FSP provisions and determined there is no impact to the Funds' financial statements. The FSP also clarifies the effective date of FAS 161, whereby disclosures required by FAS 161 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. The impact of FAS 161 on the Funds' financial statement disclosures, if any, is currently being assessed.

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-4, "Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly" ("FSP 157-4"). FSP 157-4 provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("FAS 157"), when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP 157-4 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of FSP 157-4 will have on the Funds' financial statement disclosures.



Note F—Recent Market Events

The six months covered by this report witnessed an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets so that certain fixed income instruments experienced liquidity issues, increased price volatility, credit downgrades, and an increase in default rates. Due to the market turbulence, there was increased demand for securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury, causing the prices of these securities to rise and their yields to decline to very low levels. The U.S. federal government and certain foreign governments have acted to calm credit markets and increase confidence in the U.S. and world economies. The U.S. government has assisted certain large financial services companies and has established programs to purchase troubled assets and certain money market instruments. Certain debt securities held by the Funds during the reporting period were affected by the volatility in the fixed income markets and may have been affected by governmental actions. The Funds' investments in certain issuers, as reflected in the Funds' schedules of investments, and the financial markets in general, expose investors to the volatile performance resulting from these market conditions and related events.


Note G—Subsequent Events

Each Fund conducted a tender offer that commenced on May 1, 2009 and expired on May 29, 2009. Each Fund offered to purchase up to 10% of its outstanding common shares at a price equal to 98% of its NAV per share determined on the day the tender offer expired. Each Fund's tender offer was oversubscribed. In accordance with the terms of its tender offer, each Fund accepted all shares properly tendered by shareholders holding fewer than 100 common shares that tendered all their shares and that provided appropriate certification as part of the tender ("odd-lot adjustment"). Each Fund purchased the remainder of the common shares on a pro-rata basis, after



33



making the odd-lot adjustment, based on the number of shares properly tendered. Under the terms of each tender offer, on June 5, 2009, California, Intermediate and New York accepted 679,935, 2,070,512 and 558,221 common shares, respectively, representing 10%, 10% and 10% of then outstanding common shares, respectively. Final payment was made at $13.46, $13.46 and $13.33 per share for California, Intermediate and New York, respectively, representing 98% of such Fund's NAV per share on May 29, 2009.

In addition, each Fund has announced that its Board has authorized a semi-annual tender offer program consisting of up to four tender offers over a two-year period. Under each tender offer program, if a Fund's common shares trade at an average daily discount to NAV per share of greater than 10% during a 12-week measurement period, the Fund would conduct a tender offer for between 5% and 20% of its outstanding common shares at a price equal to 98% of its NAV per share determined on the day the tender offer expires. Each Fund has determined that the initial measurement period under the program will commence on June 5, 2009 and end on August 28, 2009 (the "Measurement Period"). Furthermore, the Board of each of California and New York has decided that should its Fund's average daily discount exceed 10% during the Measurement Period, the Fund will make a tender offer for up to 10% of outstanding common shares. If Intermediate's common shares trade at an average daily discount to NAV per share greater than 10% during the Measurement Period, its Board would then determine the maximum size of its tender offer. In connection with each Fund's May 2009 tender offer and the tender offer program, Management has agreed to voluntarily extend for one year the contractual fee waivers currently in place for each Fund to offset some of the expenses associated with, or possible increases in each Fund's expense ratio resulting from, the tender offers. Each Board retains the ability, consistent with its fiduciary duty, to opt out of its tender offer program should circumstances arise that the Board believes could cause a material negative effect on its Fund or its Fund's shareholders.

Notes to Financial Highlights Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds (Unaudited)

Total return based on per share net asset value reflects the effects of changes in net asset value on the performance of each Fund during each fiscal period. Total return based on per share market value assumes the purchase of common shares at the market price on the first day and sale of common shares at the market price on the last day of the period indicated. Dividends and distributions, if any, are assumed to be reinvested at prices obtained under each Fund's distribution reinvestment plan. Results represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns may fluctuate and shares when sold may be worth more or less than original cost. For each Fund, total return would have been lower if Management had not waived a portion of the investment management fee.
 
# The Fund is required to calculate an expense ratio without taking into consideration any expense reductions related to expense offset arrangements.
 
After waiver of a portion of the investment management fee by Management. Had Management not undertaken such action, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets applicable to common shareholders would have been:

Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Bank of New York Mellon ("Plan Agent") will act as Plan Agent for shareholders who have not elected in writing to receive dividends and distributions in cash (each a "Participant"), will open an account for each Participant under the Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("Plan") in the same name as their then current Shares are registered, and will put the Plan into effect for each Participant as of the first record date for a dividend or capital gains distribution.

Whenever the Fund declares a dividend or distribution with respect to the common stock of the Fund ("Shares"), each Participant will receive such dividends and distributions in additional Shares, including fractional Shares acquired by the Plan Agent and credited to each Participant's account. If on the payment date for a cash dividend or distribution, the net asset value is equal to or less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent shall automatically receive such Shares, including fractions, for each Participant's account. Except in the circumstances described in the next paragraph, the number of additional Shares to be credited to each Participant's account shall be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend or distribution payable on their Shares by the greater of the net asset value per Share determined as of the date of purchase or 95% of the then current market price per Share on the payment date.

Should the net asset value per Share exceed the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions on the payment date for a cash dividend or distribution, the Plan Agent or a broker-dealer selected by the Plan Agent shall endeavor, for a purchase period lasting until the last business day before the next date on which the Shares trade on an "ex-dividend" basis, but in no event, except as provided below, more than 30 days after the payment date, to apply the amount of such dividend or distribution on each Participant's Shares (less their pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent's open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution) to purchase Shares on the open market for each Participant's account. No such purchases may be made more than 30 days after the payment date for such dividend or distribution except where temporary curtailment or suspension of purchase is necessary to comply with applicable provisions of federal securities laws. If, at the close of business on any day during the purchase period the net asset value per Share equals or is less than the market price per Share plus estimated brokerage commissions, the Plan Agent will not make any further open-market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of such dividend or distribution. If the Plan Agent is unable to invest the full dividend or distribution amount through open-market purchases during the purchase period, the Plan Agent shall request that, with respect to the uninvested portion of such dividend or distribution amount, the Fund issue new Shares at the close of business on the earlier of the last day of the purchase period or the first day during the purchase period on which the net asset value per Share equals or is less than the market price per Share, plus estimated brokerage commissions, such Shares to be issued in accordance with the terms specified in the third paragraph hereof. These newly issued Shares will be valued at the then-current market price per Share at the time such Shares are to be issued.

For purposes of making the reinvestment purchase comparison under the Plan, (a) the market price of the Shares on a particular date shall be the last sales price on the New York Stock Exchange (or if the Shares are not listed on the New York Stock Exchange, such other exchange on which the Shares are principally traded) on that date, or, if there is no sale on such Exchange (or if not so listed, in the over-the-counter market) on that date, then the mean between the closing bid and asked quotations for such Shares on such Exchange on such date and (b) the net asset value per Share on a particular date shall be the net asset value per Share most recently calculated by or on behalf of the Fund. All dividends, distributions and other payments (whether made in cash or Shares) shall be made net of any applicable withholding tax.

Open-market purchases provided for above may be made on any securities exchange where the Fund's Shares are traded, in the over-the-counter market or in negotiated transactions and may be on such terms as to price, delivery and otherwise as the Plan Agent shall determine. Each Participant's uninvested funds held by the Plan Agent will not bear interest, and it is understood that, in any event, the Plan Agent shall have no liability in connection with any inability to purchase Shares within 30 days after the initial date of such purchase as herein provided, or with the timing of any purchases effected. The Plan Agent shall have no responsibility as to the value of the Shares acquired for each Participant's account. For the purpose of cash investments, the Plan Agent may commingle each Participant's funds with those of other shareholders of the Fund


39



for whom the Plan Agent similarly acts as agent, and the average price (including brokerage commissions) of all Shares purchased by the Plan Agent as Plan Agent shall be the price per Share allocable to each Participant in connection therewith.

The Plan Agent may hold each Participant's Shares acquired pursuant to the Plan together with the Shares of other shareholders of the Fund acquired pursuant to the Plan in noncertificated form in the Plan Agent's name or that of the Plan Agent's nominee. The Plan Agent will forward to each Participant any proxy solicitation material and will vote any Shares so held for each Participant only in accordance with the instructions set forth on proxies returned by the Participant to the Fund.

The Plan Agent will confirm to each Participant each acquisition made for their account as soon as practicable but not later than 60 days after the date thereof. Although each Participant may from time to time have an undivided fractional interest (computed to three decimal places) in a Share, no certificates for a fractional Share will be issued. However, dividends and distributions on fractional Shares will be credited to each Participant's account. In the event of termination of a Participant's account under the Plan, the Plan Agent will adjust for any such undivided fractional interest in cash at the market value of the Shares at the time of termination, less the pro rata expense of any sale required to make such an adjustment.

Any Share dividends or split Shares distributed by the Fund on Shares held by the Plan Agent for Participants will be credited to their accounts. In the event that the Fund makes available to its shareholders rights to purchase additional Shares or other securities, the Shares held for each Participant under the Plan will be added to other Shares held by the Participant in calculating the number of rights to be issued to each Participant.

The Plan Agent's service fee for handling capital gains distributions or income dividends will be paid by the Fund. Participants will be charged their pro rata share of brokerage commissions on all open-market purchases.

Each Participant may terminate their account under the Plan by notifying the Plan Agent in writing. Such termination will be effective immediately if the Participant's notice is received by the Plan Agent not less than ten days prior to any dividend or distribution record date, otherwise such termination will be effective the first trading day after the payment date for such dividend or distribution with respect to any subsequent dividend or distribution. The Plan may be terminated by the Plan Agent or the Fund upon notice in writing mailed to each Participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Fund.

These terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by the Plan Agent or the Fund at any time or times but, except when necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable law or the rules or policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other regulatory authority, only by mailing to each Participant appropriate written notice at least 30 days prior to the effective date thereof. The amendment or supplement shall be deemed to be accepted by each Participant unless, prior to the effective date thereof, the Plan Agent receives written notice of the termination of their account under the Plan. Any such amendment may include an appointment by the Plan Agent in its place and stead of a successor Plan Agent under these terms and conditions, with full power and authority to perform all or any of the acts to be performed by the Plan Agent under these terms and conditions. Upon any such appointment of any Plan Agent for the purpose of receiving dividends and distributions, the Fund will be authorized to pay to such successor Plan Agent, for each Participant's account, all dividends and distributions payable on Shares held in their name or under the Plan for retention or application by such successor Plan Agent as provided in these terms and conditions.

The Plan Agent shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to use its best efforts within reasonable limits to ensure the accuracy of all services performed under this Agreement and to comply with applicable law, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be liable for loss or damage due to errors unless such error is caused by the Plan Agent's negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of its employees.

These terms and conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

Board Consideration of the New and Interim Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements

Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman Brothers") entered into an agreement to sell a controlling interest in the investment manager and sub-adviser of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (individually a "Fund" and, collectively, the "Funds"). Under the agreement, Lehman Brothers sold substantially all of the Neuberger Berman business and the fixed income business and certain alternative asset management businesses of Lehman Brothers' Investment Management Division (collectively, the "Acquired Businesses") to NBSH Acquisition, LLC (the "Acquisition"). NBSH Acquisition, LLC ("NBSH") was organized by key members of Neuberger Berman's management for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition of the Acquired Businesses. As of the closing of the Acquisition on May 4, 2009, a majority interest in the Acquired Businesses is directly or indirectly owned by portfolio managers, Neuberger Berman's management team and certain key members and senior professionals who are employed in various parts of the Neuberger Berman complex of companies ("Management Members"), with a minority interest retained by Lehman Brothers and certain affiliates of Lehman Brothers.

The Acquired Businesses included Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") and Neuberger Berman, LLC ("Neuberger"), the investment manager and sub-adviser to the Funds, respectively. The Acquisition was deemed to result in an "assignment" of each Fund's then-current Management Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement (the "then-Current Agreements") under the 1940 Act. As required by the 1940 Act, each Fund's then-Current Agreements provided for their automatic termination in the event of an assignment, and each terminated upon the consummation of the Acquisition. Accordingly, on December 17, 2008, each Board approved new Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Management and Neuberger, respectively, or their successors (together, the "Advisers"), on the same terms and with the same compensation structure as was currently in effect on that date (together, "New Agreements"), which took effect after consummation of the Acquisition and approval by Fund shareholders.

In case shareholders of a Fund had not approved the New Agreements before the Acquisition was completed, each Board also approved interim Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements with Management and Neuberger, respectively, or their successors (together, "Interim Agreements") to be used pending approval of the New Agreements by shareholders of the Fund. By their terms, compensation earned by the Advisers under the Interim Agreements would be held in an interest-bearing escrow account pending shareholder approval of the New Agreements. If shareholders approved the New Agreements within 150 days from the termination of the then-Current Agreements, the amount held in the escrow account, including interest, would be paid to the Advisers, as appropriate. If shareholders of a Fund did not approve the New Agreements, the Advisers would be paid the lesser of the costs incurred in performing their services under the Interim Agreements or the total amount in the escrow account, including interest earned. If at the end of 150 days following termination of a Fund's then-Current Agreements the Fund's shareholders still had not approved the New Agreements, the Directors would have taken such actions as they deem to be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders, which may have included negotiating a new Management Agreement and/or new Sub-Advisory Agreement with an advisory organization selected by its Board of Directors or making other arrangements. The shareholders of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. approved the New Agreements on May 13, 2009, May 13, 2009 and May 18, 2009, respectively.

Each Fund's Directors discussed the Acquisition on December 17, 2008. Prior to submission of the NBSH bid to public auction, Management met telephonically with the Independent Fund Directors to brief them on the Acquisition. Following the public auction wherein NBSH was determined to be the successful bidder, the Independent Fund Directors again met telephonically with Management to obtain additional information about the Acquisition. The Independent Fund Directors, with the assistance of independent counsel, prepared written due diligence requests that were presented to Management and appointed a Task Force of Independent Fund Directors to lead the due diligence effort ("Task Force").

Management provided written responses to the due diligence requests. After extensive review and analysis and discussions during a telephonic and in person meeting of the Independent Fund Directors, the Task Force submitted clarifying questions. The Independent Fund Directors met as a body in person to receive the report of the Task Force and consider the New Agreements. Throughout the process, the Task Force and the Independent Fund Directors were advised by experienced


43



1940 Act counsel that is independent of Management and NBSH. In addition, the Independent Fund Directors received a memorandum from independent counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the New Agreements.

Consideration of the New Agreements followed shortly on the heels of the Independent Fund Directors' annual consideration of whether to renew the then-Current Agreements, carried out pursuant to Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act. In that process, which began prior to the June 2008 quarterly meeting of each Board and was concluded at the September 2008 quarterly meeting, the Independent Fund Directors, following an extensive review of materials submitted by Management and a report from an independent data service, unanimously determined that the then-Current Agreements were fair and reasonable and that their renewal would be in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, in considering the New Agreements, the Independent Fund Directors took into account the fact that the terms of the New Agreements would be identical to those of the then-Current Agreements in every respect except for the term and termination date and potentially the name of the investment manager. The Board considerations in connection with the New Agreements and the then-Current Agreements also entered into the decision by each Board to approve the Interim Agreements.

In evaluating the proposed Interim Agreements and the New Agreements, the Independent Fund Directors considered that they have generally been satisfied with the nature and quality of the services provided to each Fund by Management and Neuberger, including investment management, administrative and support services, and that each Fund would be best served by an arrangement that appeared likely to maintain the continuity and stability of the providers of these services. Accordingly, the Independent Fund Directors considered very carefully the intentions of NBSH (including its successor or assign) regarding capitalization, management structure, staffing, compensation and staff retention and whether these seemed designed to provide the desired continuity and stability. They inquired specifically about staffing and resources in the areas of portfolio management, investment research, trading, fund accounting, legal and compliance, internal audit, and senior executive staff. Although at the time each Board considered the Interim Agreements and the New Agreements no final decisions had been reached as to the distribution of equity interests in NBSH (or its successor or assign), the Directors were advised that senior members of management, including the two Fund Directors who are employed by the Advisers, would receive equity interests in NBSH. Because of these interests, as well as any future employment arrangements with the Advisers, these persons, individually or in the aggregate, could have a material interest in the Acquisition and in shareholder approval of the New Agreements. In considering the New Agreements, the Directors were aware of these interests.

The Independent Fund Directors inquired whether NBSH (or its successor or assign) had specific plans for the future structure of the Neuberger Berman Funds, whether they plan to propose to eliminate any Funds, and whether they intend to continue or alter certain expansion plans that are already underway. They also inquired whether there are plans to change the fees or expense structure of any of the Funds. The Independent Fund Directors inquired about the long-term plans for the Advisers, including any expectations for cost savings or expense reductions. They also inquired about the capital structure and working capital likely to be available to NBSH (or its successor or assign).

The Independent Fund Directors considered the following factors, in addition to the factors discussed above, among others, in connection with their consideration of the Interim Agreements and the New Agreements: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management and Neuberger; (2) the performance of each Fund compared to a relevant market index and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and profits or losses realized by Management, Neuberger and their affiliates from their relationship with the Funds; (4) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as each Fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of investors in the Funds. In their deliberations, the Independent Fund Directors did not identify any particular information that was all important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weights to the various factors.

In unanimously approving the Interim Agreements and approving and recommending the New Agreements, the Independent Fund Directors concluded that the terms of each Interim Agreement and New Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Interim Agreements and the New Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and


44



its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Independent Fund Directors considered the following factors, among others:

(1) that the terms of the New Agreements are identical in all material respects to those of the then-Current Agreements;
 
(2) that the Advisers will maintain operational autonomy and continuity of management following the Acquisition;
 
(3) the favorable history, reputation, qualification, and background of Management and Neuberger, as well as the qualifications of each entity's personnel and each entity's respective financial condition;
 
(4) the commitment of NBSH (or its successor or assign) to retain key personnel currently employed by Management and Neuberger who currently provide services to each Fund;
 
(5) the commitment of NBSH (or its successor or assign) to maintaining the current level and quality of Fund services;
 
(6) the proposed division of equity in NBSH (or its successor or assign) among Management Members and other personnel upon consummation of the Acquisition;
 
(7) the fees and expense ratio of each Fund relative to comparable funds;
 
(8) that the fees are identical to those paid under the then-Current Agreements;
 
(9) that the fees and expense ratio of each Fund appear to each respective Board to be reasonable given the quality of services expected to be provided;
 
(10) the commitment of Management to: (a) maintaining each Fund's current contractual management fee waiver agreement upon consummation of the Acquisition to ensure that shareholders of each Fund do not face an increase in management fees; and (b) not change any voluntary expense limitation or waiver so as to increase the expenses each Fund would pay without prior approval of each respective Board;
 
(11) the performance of each Fund relative to comparable funds and unmanaged indices;
 
(12) the commitment of Management (or its successor) to pay the expenses of each Fund in connection with the Acquisition, including expenses in connection with the solicitation of proxies with respect to the Acquisition, so that shareholders of each Fund would not have to bear such expenses;
 
(13) the actual and potential effects on the Advisers of the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, and the effects of the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy on the information considered by the Independent Fund Directors in their prior analyses of the principal service contracts;
 
(14) the provisions made to continue providing to the Advisers certain services that were previously provided to them by or through Lehman Brothers or its other affiliates;
 
(15) the possible benefits that may be realized by each Fund and by the Advisers as a result of the Acquisition; and
 
(16) that the Acquisition is expected to maintain continuity of management of each Fund and may reduce the potential for future vulnerability to changes in control of the Advisers that could be adverse to each Fund's interests and that could affect the retention of key employees providing services to each Fund.
