President's Letter
 
 
Dear Shareholder,
 
I am pleased to present this annual report for the Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. The report includes portfolio commentaries, listings of the Funds' investments, and their audited 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 generally 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.
 
In addition, I would like to provide an update on the Funds' tender offer activities. In February 2009, each Fund's Board of Directors authorized a semi-annual tender offer program consisting of up to four tender offers over a two-year period. Under each 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 part of the program, and to offset expenses associated with the tender offers, Neuberger Berman Management LLC agreed to voluntarily extend the management fee waivers then in place for each Fund for one year. During the reporting period, each Fund conducted the second and third of its measurement periods under its respective tender offer program. For the Funds' most recent measurement periods ended November 10, 2010, each Fund traded at an average daily discount to NAV of less than 10% and, accordingly, none of the Funds will conduct a tender offer.
 
Thank you for your confidence in the Funds. We will continue to do our best to earn your confidence and trust in the years to come.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
 
 
Robert Conti
President and CEO

Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds Portfolio Commentaries (Unaudited)
 
For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2010, on a net asset value (NAV) basis, all three of the Neuberger Berman closed-end intermediate municipal bond funds posted solid returns and outperformed the Barclays Capital 10-Year Municipal Bond Index.
 
Even though numerous states and local municipalities continued to face budgetary challenges, the municipal bond market generated solid results during the reporting period. Demand for municipal securities was generally robust as investors looked to generate additional yield given the relatively low interest rate environment. Also supporting the market were low inflation and the falling supply of traditional tax-exempt municipal bonds. The latter was due, in large part, to increased issuance of taxable Build America Bonds (BABs). In many cases, municipalities have preferred to issue BABs because the federal government provides cash subsidy payments equal to 35% of their interest costs.
 
With investors looking for higher yields, lower-rated investment-grade municipal bonds outperformed their higher-rated counterparts. To illustrate, the Barclays Capital BAA Municipal Bond Index gained 11.2% during the reporting period, while the Barclays Capital AAA Municipal Bond Index returned 5.9%.
 
The Funds were well positioned for an environment that favored lower-rated municipal bonds. A contributor to the Funds' outperformance was their exposure to lower-tier investment grade municipal bonds and below-investment grade securities. The Funds were also rewarded for their exposure to somewhat longer-term municipal bonds, as these outperformed short-term securities over the period. Finally, the use of leverage was beneficial, as it served to amplify the strong returns in the overall municipal market.
 
Somewhat detracting from performance was the Funds' yield curve positioning. Throughout the period, we utilized a barbell approach (holding shorter- and longer-term securities) given the steepness of the municipal yield curve. In contrast, the benchmark is concentrated in the eight- to 12-year segment, which was the best-performing portion of the municipal yield curve.
 
Looking ahead, we continue to have a positive long-term outlook for the municipal market. While the economy is growing at a modest pace, we do not expect it to fall back into a recession. We also believe that demand for municipal securities will remain strong. This could be driven by higher federal, state and local tax rates. In addition, the Federal Reserve has signaled that short-term interest rates could remain low "for an extended period" and, in our view, additional quantitative easing could keep longer-term rates relatively low as well. This could be supportive of continued strong demand for municipal securities. Finally, the municipal market, in our opinion, remains attractively valued when compared to its Treasury counterpart.
 
That's not to say that we will not experience periods of increased volatility in the municipal market. Based on the results of the midterm elections, there could be less federal government support for financially challenged state and local governments. Less federal assistance, coupled with only a modestly improving economy and relatively weak tax revenues, could result in an increase in municipal bond downgrades. Against this backdrop, we believe that active management and thorough in-house fundamental research on the underlying credit characteristics of our existing and potential holdings will be essential to produce consistently strong risk-adjusted returns.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of 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 individually a "Fund", and collectively the "Funds") are carried at the value that Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") believes 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 under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.
   
 
ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of 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 a Fund's 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 value of the Funds' investments in municipal securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations, or if quotations are not available, by methods which include various 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 (generally Level 2 inputs). Other Level 2 inputs used to evaluate municipal securities include current trades, bid-wanted lists (which informs the market that a holder is interested in selling a position and that offers will be considered), offerings, general information on market movement, direction, trends, and specific data on specialty issues.
   
 
Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.
   
 
If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, the affected Fund seeks to obtain quotations from principal market makers (generally considered Level 3 inputs). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Fund's Board of Directors (each Fund's Board of Directors, a "Board") has approved on the belief that they reflect fair value. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or 3 inputs, 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. These fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the security is next quoted or next trades.
   
 
The following is a summary, categorized by Level, of inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of October 31, 2010:

Notes to Financial Statements Intermediate Municipal
Closed-End Funds
 
Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
1
General: 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 (the "1940 Act"). Each Fund's Board 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 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: The Funds are treated as separate entities 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 ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 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 2007 - 2009. As of October 31, 2010, 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, 2010, there were no permanent differences resulting from different book and tax accounting reclassified at fiscal year-end.

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009 was as follows:

The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings is attributable primarily to timing differences of distribution payments, capital loss carryforwards and for Intermediate and New York, defaulted bond income adjustments.
   
 
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. Under current tax law, the use of a fund's capital loss carryforwards to offset future gains may be limited. As determined at October 31, 2010, each Fund had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

During the year ended October 31, 2010, California and New York utilized capital loss carryforwards of $501,990 and $124,918, respectively.
   
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 to common shareholders. 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.

On November 15, 2010, each Fund declared a monthly distribution to common shareholders payable December 15, 2010, to shareholders of record on November 30, 2010, with an ex-date of November 26, 2010 as follows:

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 attributable to a particular investment company (e.g., 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 of the investment companies in the complex or series thereof can otherwise be made fairly.
   
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

Series B Shares

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 a 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.
 
 
31

 
 

 
 
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 year ended October 31, 2010, distribution rates ranged from:
 
   
Distribution Rate
California
 
0.26% – 0.50%
Intermediate
 
0.24% – 0.50%
New York
 
0.26% – 0.50%
 
 
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 year ended October 31, 2010, distribution rates ranged from:
 
   
Distribution Rate
California
 
0.32% – 0.49%
Intermediate
 
0.34% – 0.50%
New York
 
0.34% – 0.50%
 
 
The Funds declared distributions to AMPS shareholders for the period November 1, 2010 to November 30, 2010 for each series of the AMPS as follows:
 
   
Series A Shares
 
Series B Shares
 
California

8,458
   
 
 
Since February 2008, the market for auction rate preferred securities has experienced an unprecedented number of failed auctions. In the Funds' regularly scheduled auctions, more AMPS were submitted for sale than there were offers to buy. This meant that these auctions "failed to clear," and that preferred shareholders who wanted to sell their AMPS in these auctions were unable to do so. When a failed auction of AMPS occurs, the distribution rate for AMPS resets to a 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. Although the failed auctions have resulted in a current 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. The Funds have paid, and continue to pay, distributions on their AMPS that are set at the maximum 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.
   
 
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
 
 
 
32

 


 
 
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.
   
 
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
 
 
2010
     
0.10
   
 
2011
     
0.05
   
 
 
Management has not contractually 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, more fully described in Note E, 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:
 
Year Ended
October 31,
 
% of Average
Daily Managed Assets
 
 
2010
     
0.15
   
 
2011
     
0.10
   
 
2012
     
0.05
   
 
 
For the year ended October 31, 2010, such waived fees amounted to $211,326, $677,332, and $181,970 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 Berman LLC ("Neuberger") is retained by Management to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to the Funds. Several individuals who are officers and/or Directors of each Fund are also employees of Neuberger and/or Management.

On May 4, 2009, NBSH Acquisition, LLC ("NBSH"), an entity organized by key members of Neuberger Berman's senior management, acquired a majority interest in Neuberger Berman's business and the fixed income and certain alternative asset management businesses of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s ("LBHI") Investment Management Division (together with Neuberger Berman, the "Acquired Businesses") (the "Acquisition"). Prior to that date, the predecessor of Management and Neuberger were wholly owned subsidiaries of LBHI. On September 15, 2008, LBHI filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and on December 22, 2008, the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction over the LBHI matter approved the sale of the Acquired Businesses to NBSH (or its successor or assign), as the successful bidder in a public auction.
   
 
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 LBHI and certain affiliates of LBHI. The closing of the Acquisition resulted in an "assignment" of the Funds' Management Agreements and Sub-Advisory Agreements. Such an assignment, by law, automatically terminated those agreements. Accordingly, prior to the closing, the Board, including the Directors who are not "interested persons" of the Funds' investment manager and its affiliates or the Funds, considered and approved new Management Agreements and new Sub-Advisory Agreements for the Funds. The new agreements, which are virtually identical to those previously in effect, were also approved by a vote of the Funds' shareholders.
   
 
These events have not had a material impact on the Funds or their operations. Management and Neuberger continue to operate in the ordinary course of business as the investment manager and sub-adviser, respectively, of the Funds.
   
 
Other non-affiliated service providers: Each Fund has an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. For the year ended October 31, 2010, the impact of this arrangement was a reduction of expenses of $463, $805 and $371 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 each successful auction, and up to 3/20 of 1% if the auction fails; 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 agency requirements, each Fund is required to provide the rating agency that rates its AMPS 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 the rating agency as one of the conditions to maintain its rating on the AMPS. "Discounted value" refers to the fact that the rating agency requires each Fund, in performing this calculation, to discount portfolio securities below their face value, at rates determined by the rating agency. 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 E—Tender Offer Program:
 
 
Each Fund conducted a tender offer in May 2009 for 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. 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 in each case approximately 10% of the Funds' then-outstanding common shares. Final payment was made at $13.46, $13.46 and $13.33 per share for California, Intermediate and New York, respectively, in each case representing 98% of the Fund's NAV per share on May 29, 2009.
   
 
In 2009, each Fund's Board authorized a semi-annual tender offer program consisting of up to four tender offers over a two-year period (each, a "Tender Offer Program"). 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.
   
 
During the initial measurement period under the Tender Offer Program, each of Intermediate and New York traded at an average daily discount to NAV of less than 10% and, therefore, in accordance with its Tender Offer Program, did not conduct a tender offer. During the initial measurement period under the Tender Offer Program, California, however, traded at an average daily discount to NAV of greater than 10%. As a result, California conducted a tender offer for up to 10% of its outstanding common shares that commenced September 18, 2009 and ended October 16, 2009. Under the terms of the tender offer, on October 23, 2009, California accepted 611,942 common shares, representing approximately 10% of its then outstanding common shares. Final payment was made at $14.15 per share, representing 98% of the NAV per share on October 16, 2009.
   
 
During each Fund's second measurement period under the Tender Offer Program, February 19, 2010 to May 14, 2010, each of California, Intermediate and New York traded at an average daily discount to NAV of less than 10% and, therefore, in accordance with its Tender Offer Program, did not conduct a tender offer.
 
 
35

 


 
 
During each Fund's third measurement period under the Tender Offer Program, August 18, 2010 to November 10, 2010, each of California, Intermediate and New York traded at an average daily discount to NAV of less than 10% and, therefore, in accordance with its Tender Offer Program, did not conduct a tender offer.
   
 
In connection with each Fund's May 2009 tender offer and the adoption of the Tender Offer Program by each Fund, Management 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 (see Note B for additional disclosure). 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.
 
Note F—Recent Market Events:
 
 
Recent events in the financial sector have resulted in an unusually high degree of volatility in the financial markets and the economy at large. Both domestic and international equity and fixed income markets have been experiencing heightened volatility and turmoil, with issuers that have exposure to the real estate, mortgage and credit markets particularly affected. It is uncertain how long these conditions will continue.
   
 
In addition to the recent unprecedented turbulence in financial markets, the reduced liquidity in credit and fixed income markets may negatively affect many issuers worldwide. Illiquidity in these markets may mean there is less money available to purchase raw materials, goods and services, which may, in turn, bring down the prices of these economic staples. It may also result in issuers having more difficulty obtaining financing and ultimately a decline in their stock prices. These events and the potential for continuing market turbulence may have an adverse effect on each Fund.
   
 
The U.S. federal government and certain foreign central banks have acted to calm credit markets and increase confidence in the U.S. and world economies. Certain of these entities have injected liquidity into the markets and taken other steps in an effort to stabilize the markets and grow the economy. The ultimate effect of these efforts is, of course, not yet known. Withdrawal of this support, or other policy changes by governments or central banks, could negatively affect the value and liquidity of certain securities.
   
 
The situation in the financial markets has resulted in calls for increased regulation, and the need of many financial institutions for government help has given lawmakers and regulators new leverage. In response, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the "Dodd-Frank Act"), was signed into law initiating a dramatic revision of the U.S. financial regulatory framework that is now expected to unfold over several years. The Dodd-Frank Act covers a broad range of topics, including (among many others) a reorganization of federal financial regulators; a process intended to ensure financial systemic stability and the resolution of potentially insolvent financial firms; new rules for derivatives trading; the creation of a consumer financial protection watchdog; the registration and additional regulation of hedge and private equity fund managers; and new federal requirements for residential mortgage loans. Instruments in which the Funds invest, or the issuers of such instruments, may be affected by the new legislation and regulation in ways that are unforeseeable. The ultimate impact of the Dodd-Frank Act, and any resulting regulations, is not yet certain.
   
 
Because the situation in the markets is widespread and largely unprecedented, it may be unusually difficult to identify both risks and opportunities using past models of the interplay of market forces, or to predict the severity or duration of these market events.

Notes to Financial Highlights Intermediate Municipal Closed-End Funds
 
Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV 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:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.
Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.
Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. (the "Funds") as of October 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2010 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the financial statements and the financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neuberger Berman California Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., Neuberger Berman Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc., and Neuberger Berman New York Intermediate Municipal Fund Inc. at October 31, 2010, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

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
 
 
42

 
 

purpose of cash investments, the Plan Agent may commingle each Participant's funds with those of other shareholders of the Fund 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 are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements
 
At a meeting held on October 14, 2010, the Boards of the Funds, including the Directors who are not "interested persons" of each Fund or Management ("Independent Fund Directors"), approved the continuance of the Funds' Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements ("Agreements").
 
In evaluating the Agreements, the Boards, including the Independent Fund Directors, reviewed materials furnished by Management and Neuberger in response to questions submitted by counsel to the Independent Fund Directors, and met with senior representatives of Management and Neuberger regarding their personnel and operations. The Independent Fund Directors were advised by counsel that is experienced in 1940 Act matters and that is independent of Management and Neuberger. The Independent Fund Directors received a memorandum from their independent counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuance of the Agreements. They met with such counsel separately from representatives of Management to discuss the annual contract review. The annual contract review extends over two regular meetings of the Boards to ensure that Management and Neuberger have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Directors may have on their initial review of the report and that the Independent Fund Directors have time to consider those responses. In addition, during this process, the Boards held a separate meeting devoted primarily to reviewing and discussing Fund performance.
 
Each Board considered the following factors, among others, in connection with its approval of the continuance of the Agreements: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management and Neuberger; (2) the performance of each Fund compared to relevant market indices and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and profits or losses realized by Management and its 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 each Fund. In their deliberations, the members of each Board did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Director may have attributed different weights to the various factors.
 
Each Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders.
 
With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the performance of each Fund and the experience and staffing of the portfolio management and investment research personnel of Management and Neuberger who perform services for the Funds. The Boards noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance oversight. The Boards also considered Management's and Neuberger's policies and practices regarding brokerage. The Boards also reviewed whether Management and Neuberger used brokers to execute Fund transactions that provide research and other services to Management and Neuberger, and the types of benefits potentially derived from such services by Management, Neuberger, the Funds and by other clients of Management and Neuberger. In addition, the Boards noted the positive compliance history of Management and Neuberger, as each firm has been free of significant reported compliance problems.
 
Each Board considered the performance of its Fund on both a market return and net asset value basis relative to the Fund's benchmark and a peer group of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. Each Board also considered performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers. Each Board discussed with Management the Fund's performance and the steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve the Fund's performance. Each Board also considered Management's resources and responsiveness with respect to the applicable Fund.
 
With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, each Board considered the fee structure under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management or Neuberger or their affiliates from their relationship with the applicable Fund. The Boards also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Funds.

Each Board reviewed a comparison of its Fund's management fee and overall expense ratio to a peer group of broadly comparable funds. With regard to the sub-advisory fee paid to Neuberger, the Boards noted that this fee is "at cost." In addition, each Board considered the contractual and voluntary waiver of a portion of the management fee undertaken by Management.
 
The Boards considered whether there were other funds that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates or separate accounts managed by Management or its affiliates with similar investment objectives, policies and strategies as the Funds. The Boards noted that there were no such comparable funds and/or separate accounts.
 
Each Board also evaluated any apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to its Fund. The Boards considered that the Funds are closed-end funds that are not continuously offering shares and that, without daily inflows and outflows of capital, there are limited opportunities for significant economies of scale to be realized by Management in managing the Funds' assets.
 
Each Board also considered changes in management, staffing, resources and operations accompanying the separation of the Neuberger Berman entities from the LBHI bankruptcy estate.
 
In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Funds were reasonable in comparison with the costs of providing the investment advisory services and the benefits accruing to each Fund, each Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period and the trend in profit or loss over recent years. The Boards also carefully examined Management's cost allocation methodology. The Boards recognized that Management should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services it provides to the Funds and, based on its review, concluded that Management's level of profitability was not excessive.
 
Conclusions
 
In approving the Agreements, each Board concluded that the terms of each respective Agreement are fair and reasonable and that approval of the Agreements is in the best interests of the respective Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, with respect to each Fund, the respective Board considered that Management and Neuberger could be expected to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that it retained confidence in Management's and Neuberger's capabilities to manage the Fund; that the Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Fund were reasonable in comparison with the benefits accruing to the Fund.

(d) All Other Fees

(e) Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
 
(1) The Audit Committee’s pre-approval policies and procedures for the Registrant to engage an accountant to render audit and non-audit services delegate to each member of the Committee the power to pre-approve services between meetings of the Committee.
 
(2) None of the services described in paragraphs (b) through (d) above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(h) The Audit Committee of the Board considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to the Registrant’s investment adviser and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the adviser that provides ongoing services to the Registrant that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee because the engagement did not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Registrant is compatible with maintaining E&Y’s independence.

The complete schedule of investments for the Registrant is disclosed in the Registrant’s Annual Report, which is included as Item 1 of this Form N-CSR.
 
Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures for Closed-End Management Investment Companies
 
The Board has delegated to Neuberger Berman Management LLC (“NB Management”) the responsibility to vote proxies related to the securities held in the Registrant’s portfolio. Under this authority, NB Management is required by the Board to vote proxies related to portfolio securities in the best interests of the Registrant and its stockholders. The Board permits NB Management to contract with a third party to obtain proxy voting and related services, including research of current issues.
 
NB Management has implemented written Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures (“Proxy Voting Policy”) that are designed to reasonably ensure that NB Management votes proxies prudently and in the best interest of its advisory clients for whom NB Management has voting authority, including the Registrant. The Proxy Voting Policy also describes how NB Management addresses any conflicts that may arise between its interests and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting.
 
NB Management’s Proxy Committee is responsible for developing, authorizing, implementing and updating the Proxy Voting Policy, overseeing the proxy voting process and engaging and overseeing any independent third-party vendors as voting delegate to review, monitor and/or vote proxies. In order to apply the Proxy Voting Policy noted above in a timely and consistent manner, NB Management utilizes Glass, Lewis & Co. (“Glass Lewis”) to vote proxies in accordance with NB Management’s voting guidelines.
 
NB Management’s guidelines adopt the voting recommendations of Glass Lewis.  NB Management retains final authority and fiduciary responsibility for proxy voting. NB Management believes that this process is reasonably designed to address material conflicts of interest that may arise between NB Management and a client as to how proxies are voted.
 
In the event that an investment professional at NB Management believes that it is in the best interests of a client or clients to vote proxies in a manner inconsistent with NB Management’s proxy voting guidelines or in a manner inconsistent with Glass Lewis recommendations, the Proxy Committee will review information submitted by the investment professional to determine that there is no material conflict of interest between NB Management and the client with respect to the voting of the proxy in that manner.
 
If the Proxy Committee determines that the voting of a proxy as recommended by the investment professional presents a material conflict of interest between NB Management and the client or clients with respect to the voting of the proxy, the Proxy Committee shall: (i) take no further action, in which case Glass Lewis shall vote such proxy in accordance with the proxy voting guidelines or as Glass Lewis recommends; (ii) disclose such conflict to the client or clients and obtain written direction from the client as to how to vote the proxy; (iii) suggest that the client or clients engage another party to determine how to vote the proxy; or (iv) engage another independent third party to determine how to vote the proxy.

Conflicts of Interest
 
Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a Portfolio Manager has day-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account. The management of multiple funds and accounts (including proprietary accounts) may give rise to actual or potential conflicts of interest if the funds and accounts have different or similar objectives, benchmarks, time horizons, and fees, as the Portfolio Manager must allocate his time and investment ideas across multiple funds and accounts.  A Portfolio Manager may execute transactions for another fund or account that may adversely impact the value of securities held by the Registrant, and which may include transactions that are directly contrary to the positions taken by the Registrant.  For example, a  Portfolio Manager may engage in short sales of securities for another account that are the same type of securities in which the Registrant also invests.  In such a case, a Portfolio Manager could be seen as harming the performance of the Registrant for the benefit of the account engaging in short sales if the
 
 
 

 
short sales cause the market value of the securities to fall.  Additionally, if a Portfolio Manager identifies a limited investment opportunity that may be suitable for more than one fund or other account, the Registrant may not be able to take full advantage of that opportunity.  If one account were to buy or sell portfolio securities shortly before another account bought or sold the same securities, it could affect the price paid or received by the second account.  Securities selected for funds or accounts other than the Registrant may outperform the securities selected for the Registrant.  Finally, a conflict of interest may arise if NB Management and a Portfolio Manager have a financial incentive to favor one account over another, such as a performance-based management fee that applies to one account but not the Registrant or other accounts for which the Registrant’s Portfolio Manager is responsible.
 
NB Management, Neuberger Berman LLC and the Registrant have adopted certain compliance procedures which are designed to address these types of conflicts. However, there is no guarantee that such procedures will detect each and every situation in which a conflict arises.
 
(a)(3)  Compensation (as of October 31, 2010)
 
Our compensation philosophy is one that focuses on rewarding performance and incentivizing our employees.  We are also focused on creating a compensation process that we believe is fair, transparent, and competitive with the market.

Compensation for Portfolio Managers consists of fixed and variable compensation but is more heavily weighted on the variable portion of total compensation and reflects individual performance, overall contribution to the team, collaboration with colleagues across Neuberger Berman and, most importantly, overall investment performance.  In particular, the bonus for a Portfolio Manager is determined by using a formula and may or may not contain a discretionary component.  If applicable, the discretionary component is determined on the basis of a variety of criteria, including investment performance (including the pre-tax three-year track record in order to emphasize long-term performance), utilization of central resources (including research, sales and operations/support), business building to further the longer term sustainable success of the investment team, effective team/people management, and overall contribution to the success of Neuberger Berman.  In addition, compensation of portfolio managers at other comparable firms is considered, with an eye toward remaining competitive with the market.

The terms of our long-term retention incentives are as follows:

Employee-Owned Equity.  An integral part of the Acquisition (the management buyout of Neuberger Berman in 2009) was implementing an equity ownership structure which embodies the importance of incentivizing and retaining key investment professionals.

The senior Portfolio Managers on the mutual fund teams are key shareholders in the equity ownership structure.  On a yearly basis over the next five years, the equity ownership allocations will be re-evaluated and re-allocated based on performance and other key metrics. A set percentage of employee equity and preferred stock is subject to vesting.

Contingent Compensation Plan. We have also established the Neuberger Berman Group Contingent Compensation Plan pursuant to which a certain percentage of a Portfolio Manager’s compensation is deemed contingent and vests over a three-year period.  Under the plan, participating Portfolio Managers and other participating employees who are members of mutual fund investment teams will receive a cash return on their contingent compensation with a portion of such return being determined based on the team’s investment performance, as well as the performance of a portfolio of other investment funds managed by Neuberger Berman Group investment professionals.

 
 

 
Restrictive Covenants. Portfolio Managers who have received equity interests have agreed to certain restrictive covenants, which impose obligations and restrictions on the use of confidential information and the solicitation of Neuberger Berman employees and clients over a specified period of time if the Portfolio Manager leaves the firm.

Other Accounts. Certain Portfolio Managers may manage products other than mutual funds, such as high net worth separate accounts.  For the management of these accounts, a Portfolio Manager may generally receive a percentage of pre-tax revenue determined on a monthly basis less certain deductions (e.g., a “finder’s fee” or “referral fee” paid to a third party).  The percentage of revenue a Portfolio Manager receives will vary based on certain revenue thresholds.
