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

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.

*Six-month returns are cumulative; returns for one year, five years, and ten
years are annualized.
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%

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:

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.

4. INCOME TAX INFORMATION
The following information is presented on an income tax basis. Differences
between amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are
primarily due to the treatment of paydown gains and losses on investments,
timing differences in recognizing income on taxable market discount securities
and timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses on security
transactions.

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)

================================================================================
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:

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

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

6. 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. SUBSEQUENT EVENT - DISTRIBUTIONS TO COMMON SHAREHOLDERS
The Funds declared Common share dividend distributions from their tax-exempt net

Reinvest Automatically
EASILY AND CONVENIENTLY
Sidebar text: NUVEEN MAKES REINVESTING EASY. 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.
