Schwertfeger Chairman's LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS For all American taxpayers, the date of this chairman's letter carries special significance. Therefore, I am especially pleased on this day to report that over the six-month period covered by this semiannual report your Fund continued to provide you with monthly tax-free income and an attractive total return. For more details about the management strategy and performance of your Fund, please see the Portfolio Managers' Perspective and Performance Overview sections of this report. As I noted in my last letter to you, our conversations with financial advisers and investors suggest that many of you may be wondering whether long-term interest rates will soon begin to rise substantially, how high rates might eventually go, and whether that makes this a good time to adjust your holdings of fixed-income investments. We can't answer these questions for you - no one knows what the future will bring. "IN FACT, A WELL-DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO MAY ACTUALLY HELP TO REDUCE YOUR OVERALL INVESTMENT RISK." From our experience, we do know that a well-balanced portfolio, structured and carefully monitored with the help of a trusted investment professional, can be an important component in helping you achieve your long-term financial goals. In fact, a well-diversified portfolio may actually help to reduce your overall investment risk. That is one reason why we believe that a municipal bond investment like your Nuveen Fund can be an important building block in a comprehensive investment program designed to perform well in a variety of market conditions. As in past reports, I urge you to consider receiving future Fund reports and other Fund information by e-mail and the Internet. Not only will you be able to receive the information faster, but this also may help lower your Fund's expenses. Sign up is quick and easy - see the inside front cover of this report for instructions. Some of you may have heard that in April, 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc., which had owned 79% of Nuveen Investments, Inc. (the parent of your Fund's investment adviser) completed a public offering of a substantial portion of its equity stake in Nuveen. At the same time, St. Paul Travelers also entered into agreements to sell the balance of its shares in Nuveen to us or to others at a future date. These transactions will have no impact on the investment objectives or management of your Fund. However, taken as a whole they are considered to be an "assignment" of your Fund's investment management agreement. This means that you and your fellow Fund shareholders soon will be asked to formally approve the continuation of your Fund's management contract with Nuveen. We will be sending you more information about this process in the coming weeks. At Nuveen Investments, our mission continues to be to assist you and your financial advisor by offering investment services and products that can help you to secure your financial objectives. We are grateful that you have chosen us as a partner as you pursue your financial goals, and we look forward to continuing to earn your trust in the months and years ahead. Sincerely, /s/ Timothy R. Schwertfeger Timothy R. Schwertfeger Chairman of the Board April 15, 2005 Nuveen California Municipal Closed-End Exchange-Traded Funds (NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL, NKX) Portfolio Managers' COMMENTS Portfolio managers Dan Solender and Scott Romans review key investment strategies and the semiannual performance of these Funds. With thirteen years of investment experience, including nine at Nuveen, Dan assumed portfolio management responsibility for NPC and NCL in May 2004. Scott, who joined Nuveen in 2000, has managed NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX since January 2003. WHAT KEY STRATEGIES WERE USED TO MANAGE THESE CALIFORNIA FUNDS DURING THE SIX MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 28, 2005? Between September 2004 and February 2005, the Federal Reserve introduced four quarter-point increases in the fed funds rate, raising this short-term interest rate target from 1.5% to 2.5%. (On March 22, 2005, following the end of this reporting period, the Fed announced another 0.25% hike, taking the fed funds rate to 2.75%.) With the market anticipating increases in interest rates throughout the period, our focus centered on finding bonds that we believed could add immediate value to the Funds' portfolios and also had the potential to perform well under a variety of future market scenarios. Overall, our purchase activity for NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX emphasized finding premium bonds (those trading above their par value) in the intermediate and long-intermediate parts of the yield curve - that is, bonds that mature in 20 to 25 years. During the last two months of this period, we began to focus on bonds slightly further out on the yield curve. Generally speaking, our purchases of specific bonds during this period were influenced primarily by the bond's positioning on the yield curve, and secondarily on factors such as credit rating or industry sector, except when the need to maintain adequate diversification was an issue. For NPC and NCL, the funds investing exclusively in insured or guaranteed bonds, we focused our purchase activity during this period on the 15 to 20 year part of the yield curve. In particular, we looked for credits, especially from smaller issuers, that had high quality characteristics separate and apart from their insurance enhancement. This led to the purchase of a number of local school district and essential services bonds, which helped to diversify the holdings of these two Funds. 4 Some of these portfolio additions were financed with the proceeds from sales of pre-refunded bonds, bonds with short call dates, and bonds with shorter maturities. This was especially true in NPC, NCL and NCU. These holdings with short effective maturities tended to underperform in the interest rate environment of the past six months. Some of the proceeds from these sales were redeployed into bonds with maturities in targeted ranges of the yield curve, and that offered at least 10 years of call protection. In NKL and NKX, we also worked to improve the Funds' risk profiles by taking advantage of opportunities to selectively trim some of our more concentrated BBB and nonrated positions. Because lower-rated bonds generally performed well over the past year, demand for these bonds was strong. As a result, we were able to obtain attractive prices for the bonds we sold. In addition to reducing some of our concentrated credit positions, this approach enabled us to enhance the Funds' diversification as we reinvested the proceeds in new lower-rated and nonrated names when the market provided suitable opportunities. Among the additions to NCU's and NVX's portfolios during this period was a BBB+ credit issued for Daughters of Charity Health. Another strategy designed to help us reduce interest rate risk is hedging some of the Funds' interest rate exposure through the use of derivative financial instruments or in the form of interest rate swaps. During this period, we employed this strategy in NKL and NKX. It is important to note that we did not use the hedges in an attempt to profit from correctly predicting the timing and direction of interest rate movements. Instead, our sole objective was to reduce NKL's and NKX's durations (and therefore their price sensitivity to interest rate changes) without having a negative impact on their income streams or common share dividends over the short term. The cost of the hedge is reflected as an addition or subtraction to the Fund's net asset value (NAV) as the market value of the hedge fluctuates. The hedges did succeed in reducing the volatility of the Funds' NAVs over the course of this reporting period, and the hedges had positive market values as of February 28, 2005. 5 HOW DID THE FUNDS PERFORM OVER THE SIX MONTH PERIOD? Individual results for the Nuveen California Funds, as well as for comparative indexes, are presented in the accompanying table.

Past performance is not predictive of future results. Current performance may be higher or lower then the data shown. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that shareholders may have to pay on Fund distributions or upon the sale of Fund shares. For additional information, see the individual Performance Overview for your Fund in this report. 1 The Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged index comprising a broad range of investment-grade California municipal bonds. The Lehman Brothers Insured California Tax-Exempt Bond Index is an unleveraged, unmanaged index containing a broad range of insured California municipal bonds. Results for the Lehman indexes do not reflect any expenses. 2 The Lipper California Municipal Debt Funds average is calculated using the returns of all leveraged and unleveraged closed-end exchange-traded funds in this category for each period as follows: 6 months, 30 funds; 1 year, 30 funds; 5 years, 19 funds; and 10 years, 17 funds. The Lipper Insured California Municipal Debt Funds average is calculated using the returns of all closed-end exchange-traded funds in its category for each period as follows: 6 months, 13 funds; 1 year, 13 funds; 5 years, 7 funds; and 10 years, 6 funds. Fund and Lipper returns assume reinvestment of dividends. 6 For the six months ended February 28, 2005, the cumulative returns on NAV for the four noninsured California Funds outperformed the return on the Lehman Brothers California Tax-Exempt Bond Index, while the four insured Funds outperformed the Lehman Brothers Insured California Bond index. Each of the Funds also performed better than the average returns for their respective Lipper California Fund peer groups. One of the primary factors benefiting the six-month performances of all these Funds relative to that of the unleveraged Lehman Brothers indexes was the Funds' use of financial leverage. While leveraging can add volatility to the Funds' NAVs and share prices, especially during periods when interest rates rise, this strategy can also provide opportunities for additional income and total returns for common shareholders when short-term interest rates remain relatively low and long-term rates fall or remain fairly constant, as they did during this reporting period. Although short-term rates remained historically low over this period, they did rise in response to increases in the fed funds rate. At the same time, longer-term yields fell by 20 basis points between the end of August 2004 and the end of February 2005, as measured by the Bond Buyer 25, a widely followed municipal bond index. As a result, bonds with longer maturities generally tended to perform better than securities with shorter maturities. This benefited NVX and NZH, which were introduced in 2001, and NKL and NKX, which were introduced in 2002, since these Funds had less exposure to the shorter end of the yield curve than the four older Funds. This accounts for much of the relative performance differences between these Funds over the six-month reporting period. 7 In addition, NCU, NAC, NVX and NZH (the noninsured Funds) as well as NKL and NKX (which predominantly hold insured bonds but can invest up to 20% of their portfolios in uninsured bonds) benefited from their allocations of lower quality issues during this period. BBB and nonrated bonds generally outperformed other credit quality sectors as the economy improved. In particular, the Funds' returns were helped by our selection of individual nonrated credits, which tended to outperform the nonrated segment of the market as a whole. Among the lower-rated credits producing the strongest total returns were bonds backed by the 1998 master tobacco settlement agreement, as the litigation environment improved and the supply/demand situation drove tobacco bond prices higher. As of February 28, 2005, all six of these Funds held positions in tobacco bonds, with NCU, NVX and NZH allocating approximately 4% of their portfolios to these bonds, while NAC allocated 2.8%, and NKL and NKX allocated about 1.5% and 1.3%, respectively. Our sector allocation decisions also made positive contributions to the Funds' cumulative six-month returns. In NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH, NKL and NKX especially, our holdings in healthcare were beneficial, as this sector ranked second in terms of performance among the Lehman municipal revenue sectors for the period. One area of the municipal market that tended to underperform during this period was the pre-refunded sector, due primarily to these bonds' shorter effective maturities. As of February 28, 2005, NPC had a considerably larger exposure to pre-refunded bonds than any of the other Funds, and this served as a constraint on NPC's performance during this period. 8 HOW WERE THE FUNDS POSITIONED IN TERMS OF CREDIT QUALITY AND BOND CALLS AS OF FEBRUARY 28, 2005? We continued to believe that, given the current geopolitical and economic climate, maintaining strong credit quality was an important requirement. As of February 28, 2005, the four noninsured Funds continued to offer excellent credit quality, with allocations of bonds rated AAA/U.S. guaranteed and AA ranging from 62% in NAC to 65% in NZH, 67% in NCU, and 70% in NVX. NPC and NCL continued to be 100% invested in insured and/or U.S. guaranteed securities, while NKL and NKX, which can invest up to 20% of their assets in uninsured investment-grade quality securities, had allocated 80% and 82% of their portfolios, respectively, to insured bonds as of February 28, 2005. As of February 28, 2005, potential call exposure for the period March 2005 through the end of 2006 ranged from zero in NKL to 2% in NZH, 3% in NAC, 4% in NVX and NKX, 10% in NPC, 12% in NCU and 15% in NCL. The number of actual bond calls in all of these Funds depends largely on future market interest rates. 9 Dividend and Share Price INFORMATION As short-term interest rates remained relatively low throughout this reporting period, the leveraged structures of these eight Funds continued to support their dividend-paying capabilities. The extent of this benefit is tied in part to the short-term rates these Funds pay their MuniPreferred(R) shareholders. During periods of low short-term rates, leveraged Funds generally pay lower dividends to their MuniPreferred shareholders, which can leave more earnings to support common share dividends. This strategy helped to maintain the dividends of NPC, NCL, NCU, NAC, NVX, NZH and NKL throughout the reporting period. However, the rise in short-term interest rates during this period, and the resulting increase in borrowing costs, was enough to offset some of the leverage advantage in NKX, which was initially invested during the low rate environment of 2002 and has not had the same opportunity as the other Funds to build reserves. As a result, NKX's dividend was reduced in December 2004. In addition, due to capital gains generated by normal portfolio activity, common shareholders received capital gains and net ordinary income distributions at the end of December 2004 as follows: LONG-TERM CAPITAL GAINS ORDINARY INCOME (PER SHARE) (PER SHARE) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPC $0.1157 $0.0557 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAC $0.0464 $ -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NKL $0.0426 $0.0072 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 All of these Funds seek to pay stable dividends at rates that reflect each Fund's past results and projected future performance. During certain periods, each Fund may pay dividends at a rate that may be more or less than the amount of net investment income actually earned by the Fund during the period. If a Fund has cumulatively earned more than it has paid in dividends, it holds the excess in reserve as undistributed net investment income (UNII) as part of the Fund's NAV. Conversely, if a Fund has cumulatively paid dividends in excess of its earnings, the excess constitutes negative UNII that is likewise reflected in the Fund's NAV. Each Fund will, over time, pay all of its net investment income as dividends to shareholders. As of February 28, 2005, all of the Funds in this report, with the exception of NKX, had positive UNII balances for both financial statement and tax purposes. As of February 28, 2005, NKX had a positive UNII balance for tax purposes and a negative UNII balance for financial statement purposes. At the end of the reporting period, the Funds' share prices were trading at premiums or discounts to their NAVs as shown in the accompanying chart: 2/28/05 6-MONTH AVERAGE PREMIUM/DISCOUNT PREMIUM/DISCOUNT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NPC 2.55% -2.44% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCL -1.25% -0.41% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NCU -4.12% -6.87% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NAC -4.88% -4.90% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NVX -7.97% -8.36% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NZH -8.76% -9.76% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NKL -6.17% -5.82% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NKX -1.21% -2.71% -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Unaudited) 1. GENERAL INFORMATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The California funds (the "Funds") covered in this report and their corresponding Common share stock exchange symbols are Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund, Inc. (NPC), Nuveen Insured California Premium Income Municipal Fund 2, Inc. (NCL), Nuveen California Premium Income Municipal Fund (NCU), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NAC), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 2 (NVX), Nuveen California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund 3 (NZH), Nuveen Insured California Dividend Advantage Municipal Fund (NKL) and Nuveen Insured California Tax-Free Advantage Municipal Fund (NKX). Common shares of Insured California Premium Income (NPC), Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) and California Dividend Advantage (NAC) are traded on the New York Stock Exchange while Common shares of California Premium Income (NCU), California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX), California Dividend Advantage 3 (NZH), Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) are traded on the American Stock Exchange. The Funds are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as closed-end management investment companies. Each Fund seeks to provide current income exempt from both regular federal and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of municipal obligations issued by state and local government authorities within the state of California. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Investment Valuation The prices of municipal bonds in each Fund's investment portfolio are provided by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. When price quotes are not readily available (which is usually the case for municipal securities), the pricing service establishes fair market value based on yields or prices of municipal bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating, indications of value from securities dealers, evaluations of anticipated cash flows or collateral and general market conditions. Prices of derivative investments are also provided by an independent pricing service approved by each Fund's Board of Directors/Trustees. If the pricing service is unable to supply a price for a derivative investment each Fund may use a market quote provided by a major broker/dealer in such investments. If it is determined that market prices for an investment are unavailable or inappropriate, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, or its designee, may establish a fair value for the investment. Temporary investments in securities that have variable rate and demand features qualifying them as short-term securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities Transactions Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses from such transactions are determined on the specific identification method. Securities purchased on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis may have extended settlement periods. Any securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuation during this period. The Funds have instructed the custodian to segregate assets with a current value at least equal to the amount of the when-issued and delayed delivery purchase commitments. At February 28, 2005, Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL), California Premium Income (NCU), and California Dividend Advantage 2 (NVX) had outstanding when-issued purchase commitments of $2,477,974, $267,262 and $195,307, respectively. There were no such outstanding purchase commitments in any of the other Funds. Investment Income Interest income, which includes the amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts for financial reporting purposes, is recorded on an accrual basis. Investment income also includes paydown gains and losses, if any. 64 Income Taxes Each Fund is a separate taxpayer for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders and to otherwise comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Furthermore, each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable interest from municipal securities, which is exempt from regular federal and California state income taxes, and in the case of Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) the alternative minimum tax applicable to individuals, to retain such tax-exempt status when distributed to shareholders of the Funds. Net realized capital gains and ordinary income distributions paid by the Funds are subject to federal taxation. Dividends and Distributions to Common Shareholders Dividends from tax-exempt net investment income are declared monthly. Net realized capital gains and/or market discount from investment transactions, if any, are distributed to shareholders not less frequently than annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to Common shareholders of tax-exempt net investment income, net realized capital gains and/or market discount, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preferred Shares The Funds have issued and outstanding Preferred shares, $25,000 stated value per share, as a means of effecting financial leverage. Each Fund's Preferred shares are issued in one or more Series. The dividend rate on each Series is determined every seven days, pursuant to a dutch auction process overseen by the auction agent, and is payable weekly at the end of each rate period. The number of Preferred shares outstanding, by Series and in total, for each Fund is as follows: INSURED INSURED CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA PREMIUM PREMIUM PREMIUM DIVIDEND INCOME INCOME 2 INCOME ADVANTAGE (NPC) (NCL) (NCU) (NAC) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M -- -- 1,720 -- Series T 1,800 1,900 -- -- Series TH -- 1,900 -- 3,500 Series F -- -- -- 3,500 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 1,800 3,800 1,720 7,000 ================================================================================ INSURED INSURED CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND DIVIDEND DIVIDEND TAX-FREE ADVANTAGE 2 ADVANTAGE 3 ADVANTAGE ADVANTAGE (NVX) (NZH) (NKL) (NKX) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number of shares: Series M 2,200 3,740 -- -- Series T -- -- 2,360 -- Series TH -- 3,740 -- 1,800 Series F 2,200 -- 2,360 -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total 4,400 7,480 4,720 1,800 ================================================================================ Insurance Insured California Premium Income (NPC) and Insured California Premium Income 2 (NCL) invest in municipal securities which are either covered by insurance or are backed by an escrow or trust account containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, both of which ensure the timely payment of principal and interest. Insured California Dividend Advantage (NKL) and Insured California Tax-Free Advantage (NKX) invest at least 80% of their net assets (including net assets applicable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities that are covered by insurance. Each Fund may also invest up to 20% of its net assets (including net assets applicable to Preferred shares) in municipal securities which are either (i) backed by an escrow or trust containing sufficient U.S. Government or U.S. Government agency securities, or (ii) municipal bonds that are rated, at the time of investment, within the four highest grades (Baa or BBB or better by Moody's, S&P or Fitch) or unrated but judged to be of comparable quality by the Adviser. 65 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) Each insured municipal security is covered by Original Issue Insurance, Secondary Market Insurance or Portfolio Insurance. Such insurance does not guarantee the market value of the municipal securities or the value of the Funds' Common shares. Original Issue Insurance and Secondary Market Insurance remain in effect as long as the municipal securities covered thereby remain outstanding and the insurer remains in business, regardless of whether the Funds ultimately dispose of such municipal securities. Consequently, the market value of the municipal securities covered by Original Issue Insurance or Secondary Market Insurance may reflect value attributable to the insurance. Portfolio Insurance, in contrast, is effective only while the municipal securities are held by the Funds. Accordingly, neither the prices used in determining the market value of the underlying municipal securities nor the Common share net asset value of the Funds include value, if any, attributable to the Portfolio Insurance. Each policy of the Portfolio Insurance does, however, give the Funds the right to obtain permanent insurance with respect to the municipal security covered by the Portfolio Insurance policy at the time of its sale. Forward Swap Transactions The Funds may invest in certain derivative financial instruments. The Funds' use of forward interest rate swap transactions is intended to mitigate the negative impact that an increase in long-term interest rates could have on Common share net asset value. Forward interest rate swap transactions involve each Fund's agreement with the counterparty to pay, in the future, a fixed rate payment in exchange for the counterparty paying the Fund a variable rate payment. The amount of the payment obligation is based on the notional amount of the forward swap contract. The Funds may close out a contract prior to the effective date at which point a realized gain or loss would be recognized. When a forward swap is terminated, it does not involve the delivery of securities or other underlying assets or principal, but rather is settled in cash. Each Fund intends, but is not obligated to, terminate its forward swaps before the effective date. Accordingly, the risk of loss with respect to the swap counterparty on such transactions is limited to the credit risk associated with a counterparty failing to honor its commitment to pay any realized gain to the Fund upon termination. To minimize such credit risk, all counterparties are required to pledge collateral daily (based on the daily valuation of each swap) on behalf of each Fund with a value approximately equal to the amount of any unrealized gain above a pre-determined threshold. Reciprocally, when any of the Funds have an unrealized loss on a swap contract, the Funds have instructed the custodian to pledge assets of the Funds as collateral with a value approximately equal to the amount of the unrealized loss above a pre-determined threshold. Collateral pledges are monitored and subsequently adjusted if and when the swap valuations fluctuate, either up or down, by at least the pre-determined threshold amount. Custodian Fee Credit Each Fund has an arrangement with the custodian bank whereby certain custodian fees and expenses are reduced by credits earned on each Fund's cash on deposit with the bank. Such deposit arrangements are an alternative to overnight investments. Indemnifications Under the Funds' organizational documents, its Officers and Directors/Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications to other parties. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds have not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts and expect the risk of loss to be remote. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets applicable to Common shares from operations during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. 66 2.

Post-October losses of $59,857 were treated as having arisen on the first day of the current fiscal year. 5. MANAGEMENT FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Effective January 1, 2005, Nuveen Advisory Corp. ("NAC"), the Funds' previous Adviser, and its affiliate, Nuveen Institutional Advisory Corp. ("NIAC"), were merged into Nuveen Asset Management ("NAM"), each wholly owned subsidiaries of Nuveen Investments, Inc. ("Nuveen"). As a result of the merger, NAM is now the Adviser to all funds previously advised by either NAC or NIAC. As approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, effective August 1, 2004, a complex-wide management fee structure was adopted for all funds sponsored by the Adviser, or its predecessor and its affiliates. This fee structure separates each fund's management fee into two components - a complex-level component, based on the aggregate amount of all fund assets managed by the Adviser and a specific fund-level component, based only on the amount of assets within each individual fund. This pricing structure enables Nuveen fund shareholders to benefit from growth in the assets within each individual fund as well as from growth in the amount of complex-wide assets managed by the Adviser. Under no circumstances will this pricing structure result in a fund paying management fees at a rate higher than would otherwise have been applicable had the complex-wide management fee structure not been implemented. As of March 31, 2005, the complex-level fee rate was .1920%; that is, the funds' effective management fees were reduced by approximately .008%. Effective August 1, 2004, the annual fund-level fee, payable monthly, for each of the Funds is based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows: AVERAGE DAILY INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NPC) NET ASSETS (INCLUDING INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME 2 (NCL) NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NCU) TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .4500% For the next $125 million .4375 For the next $250 million .4250 For the next $500 million .4125 For the next $1 billion .4000 For the next $3 billion .3875 For net assets over $5 billion .3750 ================================================================================ 70 CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NAC) CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 2 (NVX) AVERAGE DAILY CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 3 (NZH) NET ASSETS (INCLUDING INSURED CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NKL) NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE INSURED CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE ADVANTAGE (NKX) TO PREFERRED SHARES) FUND-LEVEL FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .4500% For the next $125 million .4375 For the next $250 million .4250 For the next $500 million .4125 For the next $1 billion .4000 For net assets over $2 billion .3750 ================================================================================ Effective August 1, 2004, the annual complex-level fee, payable monthly, which is additive to the fund-level fee, for all Nuveen sponsored funds in the U.S., is based on the aggregate amount of total fund assets managed as follows: COMPLEX-LEVEL COMPLEX-LEVEL ASSETS(1) FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $55 billion .2000% For the next $1 billion .1800 For the next $1 billion .1600 For the next $3 billion .1425 For the next $3 billion .1325 For the next $3 billion .1250 For the next $5 billion .1200 For the next $5 billion .1175 For the next $15 billion .1150 For Managed Assets over $91 billion (2) .1400 ================================================================================ (1) The complex-level fee component of the management fee for the funds is calculated based upon the aggregate Managed Assets ("Managed Assets" means the average daily net assets of each fund including assets attributable to all types of leverage used by the Nuveen funds) of Nuveen-sponsored funds in the U.S. (2) With respect to the complex-wide Managed Assets over $91 billion, the fee rate or rates that will apply to such assets will be determined at a later date. In the unlikely event that complex-wide Managed Assets reach $91 billion prior to a determination of the complex-level fee rate or rates to be applied to Managed Assets in excess of $91 billion, the complex-level fee rate for such complex-wide Managed Assets shall be .1400% until such time as a different rate or rates is determined. Each Fund paid through July 31, 2004, an annual management fee, payable monthly, at the rates set forth below, which were based upon the average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares) of each Fund as follows: AVERAGE DAILY INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NPC) NET ASSETS (INCLUDING INSURED CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME 2 (NCL) NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE CALIFORNIA PREMIUM INCOME (NCU) TO PREFERRED SHARES) MANAGEMENT FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .6500% For the next $125 million .6375 For the next $250 million .6250 For the next $500 million .6125 For the next $1 billion .6000 For the next $3 billion .5875 For net assets over $5 billion .5750 ================================================================================ CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NAC) CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 2 (NVX) AVERAGE DAILY CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE 3 (NZH) NET ASSETS (INCLUDING INSURED CALIFORNIA DIVIDEND ADVANTAGE (NKL) NET ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE INSURED CALIFORNIA TAX-FREE ADVANTAGE (NKX) TO PREFERRED SHARES) MANAGEMENT FEE RATE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For the first $125 million .6500% For the next $125 million .6375 For the next $250 million .6250 For the next $500 million .6125 For the next $1 billion .6000 For net assets over $2 billion .5750 ================================================================================ 71 Notes to FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (continued) The management fee compensates the Adviser for overall investment advisory and administrative services and general office facilities. The Funds pay no compensation directly to those of its Directors/Trustees who are affiliated with the Adviser or to their officers, all of whom receive remuneration for their services to the Funds from the Adviser or its affiliates. The Board of Directors/Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for independent Directors/Trustees that enables Directors/Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from certain Nuveen advised Funds. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of select Nuveen advised Funds. For the first ten years of California Dividend Advantage's (NAC) operations, the Adviser has agreed to reimburse the Fund, as a percentage of average daily net assets (including net assets attributable to Preferred shares), for fees and expenses in the amounts and for the time periods set forth below: YEAR ENDING YEAR ENDING JULY 31, JULY 31, -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999* .30% 2005 .25% 2000 .30 2006 .20 2001 .30 2007 .15 2002 .30 2008 .10 2003 .30 2009 .05 2004 .30 ================================================================================ * From the commencement of operations.

ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING PARENT COMPANY OF ADVISER In early April, 2005, The St. Paul Travelers Companies, Inc. ("St. Paul Travelers"), which owned 79% of Nuveen, (A) completed a public offering of a substantial portion of its equity stake in Nuveen, (B) sold Nuveen $200 million of its Nuveen shares, (C) entered into an agreement with Nuveen to sell an additional $400 million of its Nuveen shares on a "forward" basis with payment for and settlement of these shares delayed for several months, and (D) entered into agreements with two unaffiliated investment banking firms to sell an amount equal to most or all of its remaining Nuveen shares for current payment but for future settlement. The settlement of transactions (C) and (D) above would likely be deemed to be an "assignment" (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the investment management agreements between the Funds and NAM, which would result in the automatic termination of each agreement under the 1940 Act. The Board of Directors/Trustees will consider approval of new ongoing investment management agreements for each Fund and the submission of those agreements for approval by each respective Fund's shareholders. Those agreements, if approved by a Fund's shareholders, would take effect upon such approval. There can be no assurance that these approvals will be obtained. 7.

A PHONE CALL IS ALL IT TAKES TO SET UP YOUR REINVESTMENT ACCOUNT. NUVEEN CLOSED-END EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN Your Nuveen Closed-End Exchange-Traded Fund allows you to conveniently reinvest dividends and/or capital gains distributions in additional fund shares. By choosing to reinvest, you'll be able to invest money regularly and automatically, and watch your investment grow through the power of tax-free compounding. Just like dividends or distributions in cash, there may be times when income or capital gains taxes may be payable on dividends or distributions that are reinvested. It is important to note that an automatic reinvestment plan does not ensure a profit, nor does it protect you against loss in a declining market. EASY AND CONVENIENT To make recordkeeping easy and convenient, each month you'll receive a statement showing your total dividends and distributions, the date of investment, the shares acquired and the price per share, and the total number of shares you own. HOW SHARES ARE PURCHASED The shares you acquire by reinvesting will either be purchased on the open market or newly issued by the Fund. If the shares are trading at or above net asset value at the time of valuation, the Fund will issue new shares at the then-current market price. If the shares are trading at less than net asset value, shares for your account will be purchased on the open market. Dividends and distributions received to purchase shares in the open market will normally be invested shortly after the dividend payment date. No interest will be paid on dividends and distributions awaiting reinvestment. Because the market price of the shares may increase before purchases are completed, the average purchase price per share may exceed the market price at the time of valuation, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend or distribution had been paid in shares issued by the Fund. A pro rata portion of any applicable brokerage commissions on open market purchases will be paid by Plan participants. These commissions usually will be lower than those charged on individual transactions. FLEXIBLE You may change your distribution option or withdraw from the Plan at any time, should your needs or situation change. Should you withdraw, you can receive a certificate for all whole shares credited to your reinvestment account and cash payment for fractional shares, or cash payment for all reinvestment account shares, less brokerage commissions and a $2.50 service fee. You can reinvest whether your shares are registered in your name, or in the name of a brokerage firm, bank, or other nominee. Ask your investment advisor if his or her firm will participate on your behalf. Participants whose shares are registered in the name of one firm may not be able to transfer the shares to another firm and continue to participate in the Plan. The Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan at any time. Although the Fund reserves the right to amend the Plan to include a service charge payable by the participants, there is no direct service charge to participants in the Plan at this time.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS USED IN THIS REPORT AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN: This is a commonly used method to express an investment's performance over a particular, usually multi-year time period. It expresses the return that would have been necessary each year to equal the investment's actual cumulative performance (including change in NAV or market price and reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions, if any) over the time period being considered. AVERAGE EFFECTIVE MATURITY: The average of all the maturities of the bonds in a Fund's portfolio, computed by weighting each maturity date (the date the security comes due) by the market value of the security. This figure does not account for the likelihood of prepayments or the exercise of call provisions. LEVERAGE-ADJUSTED DURATION: Duration is a measure of the sensitivity of a bond or bond Fund's value to changes when interest rates change. Generally, the longer a bond or Fund's duration, the more the price of the bond or Fund will change as interest rates change. Leverage-adjusted duration takes into account the leveraging process for a Fund and therefore is longer than the duration of the Fund's portfolio of bonds. MARKET YIELD (ALSO KNOWN AS DIVIDEND YIELD OR CURRENT YIELD): An investment's current annualized dividend divided by its current market price. NET ASSET VALUE (NAV): A Fund's common share NAV per share is calculated by subtracting the liabilities of the Fund (including any MuniPreferred shares issued in order to leverage the Fund) from its total assets and then dividing the remainder by the number of shares outstanding. Fund NAVs are calculated at the end of each business day. TAXABLE-EQUIVALENT YIELD: The yield necessary from a fully taxable investment to equal, on an after-tax basis, the yield of a municipal bond investment. BOARD OF DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES Robert P.
