Restatement of Capital Share Account
The California Municipal Fund accounts and
reports for distributions to shareholders in
accordance with Statement of Position 93-2:
Determination, Disclosure, and Financial Statement
Presentation of Income, Capital Gain, and Return
of Capital Distributions by Investment Companies.
The effect of applying this Statement of Position
on the California Income Series (Series 3) and the
California Series (Series 1) was to increase
undistributed net investment income and increase
accumulated net realized loss by $105,744 and
$96,593 respectively, due to the sale of
securities purchased with market discount. Net
investment income, net realized gains and net
assets were not affected by this change.
